Impact of high fat diet on long non-coding RNAs and messenger RNAs expression in the aortas of ApoE(-/-) mice.

ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease with high prevalence worldwide, and has become the leading cause of death. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of high-fat diet on ApoE(-/-) mice exhibiting atherosclerosis by detecting the genome-wide expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs. A total of 354 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified (?2.0 folds). Simultaneously, 357 differentially expressed mRNAs from the same chip were found. The expression differences of lncRNAs and mRNAs were consistent in both qPCR and microarray detection. Annotation results of the mRNAs which correlated with lncRNAs showed that the commonly related pathways were metabolism and inflammation. Hypergeometric distribution analysis indicated that the differentially expressed lncRNAs had been mostly regulated by transcription factors (TFs) such as Myod1, Rxra, Pparg, Tcf3, etc. Additional lncRNA-target-TFs network analysis was conducted for the top 20 differentially expressed lncRNAs. The results indicated Hnf4a, Ppara, Vdr, and Runx3 as the TFs most likely to regulate the production of these lncRNAs, and might play roles in inflammatory and metabolic processes in atherosclerosis. In a nutshell, the present study identified a panel of dysregulated lncRNAs and mRNAs that may be potential biomarkers or drug targets relevant to the high-fat diet related atherogenesis.

Project description:Major depressive disorder is caused by gene-environment interactions and the gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the development of depression. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, the differentially expressed hippocampal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) between mice inoculated with gut microbiota from major depressive disorder patients or healthy controls were detected, to identify the effects of gut microbiota-dysbiosis on gene regulation patterns at the transcriptome level, and in further to explore the microbial-regulated pathological mechanisms of depression. As a result, 200 mRNAs, 358 lncRNAs, and 4 miRNAs were differentially expressed between the two groups. Functional analysis of these differential mRNAs indicated dysregulated inflammatory response to be the primary pathological change. Intersecting these differential mRNAs with targets of differentially expressed miRNAs identified 47 intersected mRNAs, which were mainly related to neurodevelopment. Additionally, a microbial-regulated lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on RNA-RNA interactions was constructed. Subsequently, according to the competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) hypothesis and the biological functions of these intersected genes, two neurodevelopmental ceRNA sub-networks implicating in depression were identified, one including two lncRNAs (4930417H01Rik and AI480526), one miRNA (mmu-miR-883b-3p) and two mRNAs (Adcy1 and Nr4a2), and the other including six lncRNAs (5930412G12Rik, 6430628N08Rik, A530013C23Rik, A930007I19Rik, Gm15489, and Gm16251), one miRNA (mmu-miR-377-3p) and three mRNAs (Six4, Stx16, and Ube3a), and these molecules could be recognized as potential genetic and epigenetic biomarkers in microbial-associated depression. This study provides new understanding of the pathogenesis of depression induced by gut microbiota-dysbiosis and may act as a theoretical basis for the development of gut microbiota-based antidepressants.

Project description:Objective: Retinal neovascularization is a severe complication of many ocular diseases. To clarify the possible functions and therapeutic potential of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in retinal neovascularization, we assessed their expression profile in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). Methods: Microarray analysis was performed to identify altered lncRNA and mRNA expressions between OIR and control mice. The microarray results were validated by qRT-PCR. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were conducted to determine biological functions and signaling pathways of the altered or interacted mRNAs. A coding-non-coding gene co-expression (CNC) network was constructed to identify the interaction of lncRNAs and mRNAs. Results: We identified 198 up-regulated and 175 down-regulated lncRNAs (fold change≥2.0, P<0.05), respectively in OIR mice compared to control mice. We also identified 412 up-regulated and 127 down-regulated mRNAs (fold change≥2.0, P<0.05), respectively in OIR mice compared to control mice. GO and KEGG analyses suggested that altered mRNAs were enriched in immune system process, exopeptidase activity, ECM-receptor interaction and protein digestion and absorption. Four validated lncRNAs (ENSMUST00000165968, ENSMUST00000153785, ENSMUST00000134409, and ENSMUST00000154285) and the nearby coding gene pairs were analyzed. A CNC network profile based on those validated altered lncRNAs as well as 410 interacted mRNAs was composed of 509 connections. Moreover, the GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that these interacted mRNAs mainly enriched in blood vessel development, angiogenesis, cell adhesion molecules and leukocyte transendothelial migration pathways. Conclusion: Our data highlight the utility of altered lncRNA and mRNA profiling in understanding the pathogenesis of ischemia-induced retinal neovascularization and further suggest that therapeutic potential of altered lncRNA for retinal neovascularization.
