Profiling of Long Non-coding RNAs and mRNAs by RNA-Sequencing in the Hippocampi of Adult Mice Following Propofol Sedation.

ABSTRACT: Propofol is a frequently used intravenous anesthetic agent. The impairment caused by propofol on the neural system, especially the hippocampus, has been widely reported. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of propofol on learning and memory functions in the hippocampus is still unclear. In the present study we performed lncRNA and mRNA analysis in the hippocampi of adult mice, after propofol sedation, through RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq). A total of 146 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 1103 mRNAs were identified. Bioinformatics analysis, including gene ontology (GO) analysis, pathway analysis and network analysis, were done for the identified dysregulated genes. Pathway analysis indicated that the FoxO signaling pathway played an important role in the effects of propofol on the hippocampus. Finally, four lncRNAs and three proteins were selected from the FoxO-related network for further validation. The up-regulation of lncE230001N04Rik and the down-regulation of lncRP23-430H21.1 and lncB230206L02Rik showed the same fold change tendencies but changes in Gm26532 were not statistically significant in the RNA-Seq results, following propofol sedation. The FoxO pathway-related proteins, PI3K and AKT, are up-regulated in propofol-exposed group. FoxO3a is down-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels. Our study reveals that propofol sedation can influence the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the hippocampus, and bioinformatics analysis have identified key biological processes and pathways associated with propofol sedation. Cumulatively, our results provide a framework for further study on the role of lncRNAs in propofol-induced or -related neurotoxicity, particularly with regards to hippocampus-related dysfunction.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with the regulation of various biological processes and are involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of lncRNAs in ventilator?induced lung injury (VILI) has yet to be evaluated. In the present study, high?throughput sequencing was applied to investigate differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs (fold change >2; false discovery rate <0.05). Bioinformatics analysis was employed to predict the functions of differentially expressed lncRNAs. A total of 104 lncRNAs (74 upregulated and 30 downregulated) and 809 mRNAs (521 upregulated and 288 downregulated) were differentially expressed in lung tissues from the VILI group. Gene ontology analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were mainly associated with biological functions, including apoptosis, angiogenesis, neutrophil chemotaxis and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. The top four enriched pathways were the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, P53 signaling pathway, neuroactive ligand?receptor interaction and the forkhead box O signaling pathway. Several lncRNAs were predicted to serve a vital role in VILI. Subsequently, three lncRNAs [mitogen?activated protein kinase kinase 3, opposite strand (Map2k3os), dynamin 3, opposite strand and abhydrolase domain containing 11, opposite strand] and three mRNAs (growth arrest and DNA damage?inducible ?, claudin 4 and thromboxane A2 receptor) were measured by reverse transcription?quantitative polymerase chain reaction, in order to confirm the veracity of RNA?sequencing analysis. In addition, Map2k3os small interfering RNA transfection inhibited the expression of stretch?induced cytokines [TNF??, interleukin (IL)?1? and IL?6] in MLE12 cells. In conclusion, the results of the present study provided a profile of differentially expressed lncRNAs in VILI. Several important lncRNAs may be involved in the pathological process of VILI, which may be useful to guide further investigation into the pathogenesis for this disease.
