Microarray Expression Profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in Rats with Traumatic Brain Injury after A2B5+ Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may cause neurological damage, but an effective therapy and the associated mechanisms of action have not yet been elucidated. A TBI model was established using the modified Feeney method. A2B5+ cells, an oligodendroglial progenitor, were acquired from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by mouse embryonic fibroblasts and were transplanted into the injured site. The neurological severity score (NSS) was recorded on 3 d, 7 d, 11 d, 15 d, and 19 d. Seven days after transplantation, oligodendrocytes 2 (Olig2) and myelin basic protein (MBP) were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB), and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were screened by microarray technology. Moreover, we took an intersection of the differentially expressed lncRNAs or mRNAs and scanned 10 kb upstream and downstream of the common lncRNAs. Meanwhile, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analysis on mRNAs was performed in the A2B5+ iPSC group. A2B5+ iPSCs survived and migrated around the injury site and differentiated into oligodendrocytes. Meanwhile, the increase in Olig2 and MBP were higher in A2B5+ cell-engrafted rats than that in TBI rats. However, the NSSs in the A2B5+ iPSC group were lower than that in the TBI group. Between the TBI and sham groups, 270 lncRNAs and 1,052 mRNAs were differently expressed ( P < 0.05, fold change (FC) > 2), while between the A2B5+ iPSC and TBI groups, 83 lncRNAs and 360 mRNAs were differently expressed ( P < 0.05, FC > 2). Meanwhile, 37 lncRNAs and 195 mRNAs were simultaneously changed in the 2 parts. Using bioinformatic analysis, we found the crucial lncRNA and mRNA were ENSRNOT00000052577 and Kif2c in the TBI brain with cell transplantation. This study demonstrated that A2B5+ iPSC grafts effectively improved neurological function, and the mechanism of action was associated with lncRNA and mRNA expression. Therefore, A2B5+ iPSC transplantation could be considered as a new method for the treatment of TBI, and ENSRNOT00000052577 and Kif2c may be new molecular targets or markers for functional improvement.

Project description:Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been previously reported to serve an important role in transcription. In addition, several studies have revealed that long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) have a crucial role in human diseases. However, the association between lncRNAs and inflammation?induced intestinal macrophages in the intestinal mucosal barrier has remained elusive. In the present study, intestinal macrophages from healthy Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups: The experimental group, consisting of intestinal macrophages treated with 1 mg/l lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the control group, composed of untreated cells. Differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs between the control and experimental groups were identified using microarray profiling. The levels of DE mRNAs and lncRNAs were measured by reverse transcription?quantitative PCR (RT?qPCR). Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses of DE mRNAs and lncRNAs were performed. To identify core regulatory factors among DE lncRNAs and mRNAs, a lncRNA?mRNA network was constructed. A total of 357 DE lncRNAs and 542 DE mRNAs between the LPS?treated and untreated groups were identified (fold-change >1.5; P<0.05). In addition, selected microarray data were confirmed by RT?qPCR. GO analysis of the DE mRNAs indicated that the biological functions of the upregulated mRNAs included inflammatory response, immune response, metabolic process and signal transduction, whereas those of the downregulated mRNAs were metabolic process, cell cycle, apoptosis and inflammatory response. In addition, pathway enrichment analysis of the upregulated mRNAs revealed that the most enriched pathways were the NF??B signaling pathway, B?cell receptor signaling pathway and apoptosis, while the downregulated mRNAs were significantly involved in metabolic pathways, the phosphatidylinositol signaling system, cytokine?cytokine receptor interaction and the Toll?like receptor signaling pathway. The lncRNA?mRNA co?expression network suggested that lncRNAs NONMMUT024673 and NONMMUT062258 may have an important role in LPS?induced intestinal macrophages. The present study identified the DE profiles between LPS? and non?LPS?treated intestinal macrophages. These DE lncRNAs and mRNAs may be used as potential targets for attenuating excessive inflammatory response in intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction.

Project description:Acute lung injury (ALI) and respiratory distress syndrome are common, potentially lethal injuries that predominantly occur following chest trauma. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable conserved non-coding RNAs that are widely expressed in different organs. To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have shown whether circRNAs are involved in traumatic lung injury (TLI). The aim of the present study was to identify highly expressed circRNAs in plasma samples from patients with TLI and explore their potential functions in the pathogenesis of TLI. A high-throughput circRNA microarray was used to investigate the expression profile of circRNAs in plasma samples from five patients with TLI and paired control samples. Subsequently, a total of five abnormally expressed circRNAs were investigated using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). A bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. In addition, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were used to identify the main biological processes and pathways. Finally, additional samples were tested to identify the expression profiles of the selected circRNAs. Among the 310 circRNAs that were highly expressed in the microarray analysis, 60 were upregulated and 250 were downregulated in patients with TLI. RT-qPCR results indicated that two downregulated circRNAs (circ_102927 and circ_100562) and one upregulated circRNA (circ_101523) matched the microarray results. The bioinformatics analysis constructed a targeting network based on the three validated circRNAs. GO and KEGG analyses identified the top ten enriched annotations. The expression of homo sapiens circular RNA 102927 (hsa_circRNA_102927) in the plasma of patients with TLI was 0.34-fold compared with the control group in expanded size validation. The results of the present study identified the differentially expressed circRNAs in the plasma of patients with TLI and provided evidence that highly expressed circRNAs involved in the ceRNA network may serve a role in the pathophysiology of TLI.
