Microarray analysis of lung long non-coding RNAs in cigarette smoke-exposed mouse model.

ABSTRACT: Several studies have demonstrated the function of long nonâ€'coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in various biological processes, yet their role underlying the susceptibility to cigarette smoke (CS)-induced airway inflammation remains limited. In the present study, we aimed to profile the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in CS-exposed mice. C57BL/6 mice were assigned into a single cigarette-smoking machine with or without CS exposure for 4 weeks, followed by lung tissue harvest and RNA isolation. Microarray analysis identified 108 lncRNAs and 119 mRNAs with differential expression levels in CS-exposed mouse lung tissue compared with those in control mice. The expression patterns of several lncRNAs were further confirmed by qRT-PCR. GO and pathway analyses showed that the altered mRNAs were mainly related to the processes of immune response, defense response and cell chemotaxis, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and chemokine signaling pathway. Moreover, a single lncRNA may co-expressed with several mRNAs, and so was the mRNA. Our findings uncovered the expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the lungs of CS-exposed mice, which may offer new insights into pathogenesis of CS-associated airway inflammatory disorders.

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.
