Expression Profiles of lncRNAs and circRNAs in Keloid.

ABSTRACT: Background:We hypothesized that crosstalk between noncoding RNAs, including microRNA (miRNA), lncRNA, and circRNA, might play a critical role in keloids development and physiology. To reveal the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of keloids, we compared their gene expression profiles and differential expressions in keloid and normal skin tissues. Methods:Expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs and circRNAs in 2 pairs (identification set) of keloid and matched normal skin tissues were analyzed through sequencing. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to validate the sequencing results using 5 pairs (validation set) of keloid and matched normal skin tissues. Presumed targets of differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs were functionally annotated by bioinformatics approaches. Results:The differential expression of mRNAs in keloid and normal skin by high-throughput sequencing was 2,528, of which 1,271 were downregulated, whereas 1,257 were upregulated. In the meantime, sequencing identified 2,227 differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 1,224 upregulated and 1,003 downregulated in keloid tissue compared with normal skin tissue. Additionally, 154 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified, including 81 upregulated and 73 downregulated in keloid tissue compared with normal skin tissue. Functional annotations of differentially expressed circRNA targets revealed their enrichment in several signaling pathways important for scar wound healing. Conclusions:Expression profiles of mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs were altered in keloid tissue, which may partly contribute to the etiology of keloids by affecting several signaling pathways relevant to scar wound healing. A better understanding of keloids pathogenesis may identify new therapeutic targets for keloids.

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.
