Identify CRNDE and LINC00152 as the key lncRNAs in age-related degeneration of articular cartilage through comprehensive and integrative analysis.


ABSTRACT: Background:Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most important age-related degenerative diseases, and the leading cause of disability and chronic pain in the aging population. Recent studies have identified several lncRNA-associated functions involved in the development of OA. Because age is a key risk factor for OA, we investigated the differential expression of age-related lncRNAs in each stage of OA. Methods:Two gene expression profiles were downloaded from the GEO database and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified across each of the different developmental stages of OA. Next, gene ontology (GO) functional and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to annotate the function of the DEGs. Finally, a lncRNA-targeted DEG network was used to identify hub-lncRNAs. Results:A total of 174 age-related DEGs were identified. GO analyses confirmed that age-related degradation was strongly associated with cell adhesion, endodermal cell differentiation and collagen fibril organization. Significantly enriched KEGG pathways associated with these DEGs included the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, focal adhesion, and ECM-receptor interaction. Further analyses via a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network identified two hub lncRNAs, CRNDE and LINC00152, involved in the process of age-related degeneration of articular cartilage. Our findings suggest that lncRNAs may play active roles in the development of OA. Investigation of the gene expression profiles in different development stages may supply a new target for OA treatment.
