Comprehensive analysis of differentially expressed profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs reveals ceRNA networks in the transformation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the malignancies with a high mortality rate. The molecular mechanisms involved in transformation of DLBCL remain unclear. Therefore, it is critically important to investigate the biological mechanisms of DLBCL. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve key functions in tumorigenesis, cancer progression and metastasis. Compared with follicular lymphoma (FL), a total of 123 upregulated lncRNAs and 192 downregulated lncRNAs in DLBCL were identified. Subsequently, a specific DLBCL-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and a specific FL-associated ceRNA network was constructed. Gene Oncology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed that differentially expressed lncRNAs served key functions in regulating signal transduction, transcription, cell adhesion, development and protein amino acid phosphorylation. Furthermore, the molecular functions of PRKCQ antisense RNA 1, HLA complex P5, OIP5 antisense RNA 1, growth arrest specific 5 and taurine upregulated 1 were investigated, and it was revealed that these lncRNAs served important functions in regulating a series of biological processes, including anti-apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA repair, response to oxidative stress and transcription. The present study may provide a potential novel therapeutic and prognostic target for the treatment of DLBCL.

Project description:BackgroundAdult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) is forecast to be a prevalent disabling condition in an aging society. Universally, its pathogenesis is perceived as intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), however, a thought-provoking issue is why precisely a subset of patients with disc degeneration develop ADS. Exploring the diversities between common IDD and ADS would contribute to unraveling the etiological mechanisms of ADS. Therefore, we aimed to integrate the circRNA, lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA expression profiles from normal adults (Normal), patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), and ADS by whole transcriptome sequencing, which identifies critical functional ncRNA and ceRNA networks and crosstalk between the various transcripts.MethodsThe fresh whole blood samples (n = 3/group) were collected from ADS patients, LDH patients, and healthy volunteers (Normal group), which were examined for mRNA, miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA expression and screened for differentially expressed (DE) ncRNAs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG analyses were performed for gene annotation and enrichment pathways on the DE RNAs, which were constructed as a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. Eventually, DE RNAs were validated by qRT-PCR targeting disc nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue in ADS and LDH group (n = 10/group).ResultsCompared to the LDH group, we identified 3322 DE mRNAs, 221 DE lncRNAs, 20 DE miRNAs, and 15 DE circRNAs in the ADS. In contrast to Normal, 21 miRNAs and 19 circRNAs were differentially expressed in the ADS. The expression of multiple differentially expressed ncRNAs was confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis to be consistent with the sequencing results. In addition, GO, and KEGG analysis demonstrated that most DE mRNAs and ncRNAs target genes are involved in various biological processes, including Endocytosis, Apoptosis, Rap1 signaling pathway, Notch signaling pathway, and others. The constructed lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA co-expression network was primarily related to angiogenesis and regulation.ConclusionBy focusing on comparing asymmetric and symmetric disc degeneration, whole-transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis systematically screened for key ncRNAs in the development of ADS, which provided an abundance of valuable candidates for the elucidation of regulatory mechanisms. The DE ncRNAs and the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network are intrinsically involved in the regulation of mediator and angiogenesis, which may contribute to the insight into the pathogenesis of ADS.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Eimeria necatrix, the most highly pathogenic coccidian in chicken small intestines, can cause high morbidity and mortality in susceptible birds and devastating economic losses in poultry production, but the underlying molecular mechanisms in interaction between chicken and E. necatrix are not entirely revealed. Accumulating evidence shows that the long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are key regulators in various infectious diseases. However, the expression profiles and roles of these two non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) during E. necatrix infection are still unclear. METHODS:The expression profiles of mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in mid-segments of chicken small intestines at 108 h post-infection (pi) with E. necatrix were analyzed by using the RNA-seq technique. RESULTS:After strict filtering of raw data, we putatively identified 49,183 mRNAs, 818 lncRNAs and 4153 circRNAs. The obtained lncRNAs were classified into four types, including 228 (27.87%) intergenic, 67 (8.19%) intronic, 166 (20.29%) anti-sense and 357 (43.64%) sense-overlapping lncRNAs; of these, 571 were found to be novel. Five types were also predicted for putative circRNAs, including 180 exonic, 54 intronic, 113 antisense, 109 intergenic and 3697 sense-overlapping circRNAs. Eimeria necatrix infection significantly altered the expression of 1543 mRNAs (707 upregulated and 836 downregulated), 95 lncRNAs (49 upregulated and 46 downregulated) and 13 circRNAs (9 upregulated and 4 downregulated). Target predictions revealed that 38 aberrantly expressed lncRNAs would cis-regulate 73 mRNAs, and 1453 mRNAs could be trans-regulated by 87 differentially regulated lncRNAs. Additionally, 109 potential sponging miRNAs were also identified for 9 circRNAs. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of target mRNAs for lncRNAs, and sponging miRNA targets and source genes for circRNAs identified associations of both lncRNAs and circRNAs with host immune defense and pathogenesis during E. necatrix infection. CONCLUSIONS:To the best of our knowledge, the present study provides the first genome-wide analysis of mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in chicken small intestines infected with E. necatrix. The obtained data will offer novel clues for exploring the interaction mechanisms between chickens and Eimeria spp.
