RNA sequencing discloses the genome?wide profile of long noncoding RNAs in dilated cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common type of non?ischemic cardiomyopathy, of which the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to serve crucial physiological roles in various cardiac diseases. However, the genome?wide expression profile of lncRNAs remains to be elucidated in DCM. In the present study, a case?control study was performed to identify expression deviations in circulating lncRNAs between patients with DCM and controls by RNA sequencing. Partial dysregulated lncRNAs were validated by reverse transcription?polymerase chain reaction. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway, and lncRNA?messenger RNA (mRNA) co?expression network analyses were employed to probe potential functions of these dysregulated lncRNAs in DCM. Comparison between 8 DCM and 8 control samples demonstrated that there were alterations in the expression levels of 988 lncRNAs and 1,418 mRNAs in total. The dysregulated lncRNAs were found to be mainly associated with system development, organ morphogenesis and metabolic regulation in terms of 'biological processes'. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that the gap junction pathway, phagosome, and dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pathways may serve crucial roles in the development of DCM. The lncRNA?mRNA co?expression network also suggested that the target genes of the lncRNAs were different in patients with DCM as compared with those in the controls. In conclusion, the present study revealed the genome?wide profile of circulating lncRNAs in DCM by RNA sequencing, and explored the potential functions of these lncRNAs in DCM using bioinformatics analysis. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for future studies of lncRNAs in DCM.

Project description:Liver fibrosis occurs as a result of chronic liver lesions, which may subsequently develop into liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The involvement of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in liver fibrosis is being increasingly recognized. However, the exact mechanisms and functions of the majority of lncRNAs are poorly characterized. In the present study, the hepatotoxic substance carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was employed to induce liver fibrosis in an animal model and agenome‑wide identification of lncRNAs in fibrotic liver tissues compared with CCl4 untreated liver tissues was performed using RNA sequencing. Sprague‑Dawley rats were treated with CCl4 for 8 weeks. Histopathogical alterations were observed in liver tissues, and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, transforming growth factor‑β1 and tumor necrosis factor‑α were significantly higher, in the CCl4‑treated group compared with the CCl4 untreated group. RNA sequencing of liver tissues demonstrated that 231 lncRNAs and 1,036 mRNAs were differentially expressed between the two groups. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed mRNAs were predominantly enriched in 'ECM‑receptor interaction', 'PI3K‑Akt signaling pathway' and 'focal adhesion' pathways, all of which are essential for liver fibrosis development. Validation of 12 significantly aberrant lncRNAs by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction indicated that the expression patterns of 11 lncRNAs were consistent with the sequencing data. Furthermore, overexpression of lncRNA NR_002155.1, which was markedly downregulated in CCl4‑treated liver tissues, was demonstrated to inhibit HSC‑T6 cell proliferation in vitro. In conclusion, the present study determined the expression patterns of mRNAs and lncRNAs in fibrotic liver tissue induced by CCl4. The identified differentially expressed lncRNAs may serve as novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for liver fibrosis.
