Evaluation of circulating placenta-related long noncoding RNAs as potential biomarkers for preeclampsia.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence has indicated that circulating placental RNAs may reflect the pathophysiology of the placenta. In the current study, circulating placenta-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were evaluated as potential biomarkers for preeclampsia (PE). Two parts of the case-control study were simultaneously executed, including the following sets: 52 patients with late-onset PE (LOPE) (diagnosed after 34 weeks) and 52 gestational age (GA)-matched controls; 58 patients with early-onset PE (EOPE) (diagnosed before 34 weeks) and 58 GA-matched controls. LncRNA expression was detected in the placenta analysis part, and the participants were delivered by caesarean sections. The levels of circulating placenta-associated lncRNAs were measured in the plasma analysis part and all pregnant women were included. Using microarray analysis, 163 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in placental samples from patients with LOPE, some of which were also detected in plasma samples from pregnant women. There were significant positive correlations between plasma, and placental expression levels of NONHSAT116812 and NONHSAT145880, which in plasma provided high diagnostic efficiencies for LOPE and EOPE. The present study demonstrated that circulating placenta-associated lncRNAs, paticularly NONHSAT116812 and NONHSAT145880 have potential as biomarkers for PE.

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly malignant gynecologic tumor with few treatments available and poor prognosis with the currently available diagnostic markers and interventions. More effective methods for diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. Although the current evidence implicates ferroptosis in the development and therapeutic responses of various types of tumors, it is unclear to what extent ferroptosis affects OC. To explore the potential of ferroptosis-related genes as biomarkers and molecular targets for OC diagnosis and intervention, this study collected several datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas-OC (TCGA-OC), analyzed and identified the coexpression profiles of 60 ferroptosis-related genes and two subtypes of OC with respect to ferroptosis and further examined and analyzed the differentially expressed genes between the two subtypes. The results indicated that the expression levels of ferroptosis genes were significantly correlated with prognosis in patients with OC. Single-factor Cox and LASSO analysis identified eight lncRNAs from the screened ferroptosis-related genes, including lncRNAs RP11-443B7.3, RP5-1028K7.2, TRAM2-AS1, AC073283.4, RP11-486G15.2, RP11-95H3.1, RP11-958F21.1, and AC006129.1. A risk scoring model was constructed from the ferroptosis-related lncRNAs and showed good performance in the evaluation of OC patient prognosis. The high- and low-risk groups based on tumor scores presented obvious differences in clinical characteristics, tumor mutation burden, and tumor immune cell infiltration, indicating that the risk score has a good ability to predict the benefit of immunotherapy and may provide data to support the implementation of precise immunotherapy for OC. Although in vivo tests and research are needed in the future, our bioinformatics analysis powerfully supported the effectiveness of the risk signature of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs for prognosis prediction in OC. The findings suggest that these eight identified lncRNAs have great potential for development as diagnostic markers and intervention targets for OC and that patients with high ferroptosis-related lncRNA expression will receive greater benefits from conventional chemotherapy or treatment with ferroptosis inducers.

Project description:BackgroundPsoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory dermatosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in immune-related diseases. This study aimed to identify potential immune-related lncRNA biomarkers for psoriasis.MethodsWe screened differentially expressed immune-related lncRNAs biomarkers using GSE13355 (skin biopsy samples of 180 cases) from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Moreover, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were performed to explore biological mechanisms in psoriasis. In addition, we performed LASSO logistic regression to identify potential diagnostic lncRNAs and further verify the diagnostic value and relationship with drug response using two validation sets: GSE30999 (skin biopsy samples of 170 cases) and GSE106992 (skin biopsy samples of 192 cases). Furthermore, we estimated the degree of infiltrated immune cells and investigated the correlation between infiltrated immune cells and diagnostic lncRNA biomarkers.ResultsA total of 394 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were extracted from gene expression profile. GO and KEGG analysis of target genes found that immune-related lncRNAs were primarily associated with epidermis development, skin development, collagen-containing extracellular matrix, and glycosaminoglycan binding and mainly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and influenza A and chemokine signaling pathway. We found that LINC01137, LINC01215, MAPKAPK5-AS1, TPT1-AS1, CARMN, CCDC18-AS1, EPB41L4A-AS, and LINC01214 exhibited well diagnostic efficacy. The ROC and ROC CI were 0.944 (0.907-0.982), 0.953 (0.919-0.987), 0.822 (0.758-0.887), 0.854 (0.797-0.911), 0.957(0.929-0.985), 0.894 (0.846-0.942), and 0.964 (0.937-0.991) for LINC01137, LINC01215, MAPKAPK5-AS1, TPT1-AS1,CARMN, CCDC18-AS1, EPB41L4A-AS1, and LINC01214. LINC01137, LINC01215, and LINC01214 were correlated with drug response. LINC01137, CCDC18-AS1, and CARMN were positively correlated with activated memory CD4 T cell, activated myeloid dendritic cell (DC), neutrophils, macrophage M1, and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, while negatively correlated with T regulatory cell (Treg). LINC01215, MAPKAPK5-AS1, TPT1-AS1, EPB41L4A-AS, and LINC01214 were negatively correlated with activated memory CD4 T cell, activated myeloid DC, neutrophils, macrophage M1, and Tfh, while positively correlated with Treg.ConclusionsThese findings indicated that these immune-related lncRNAs may be used as potential diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for psoriasis.
