Possible epigenetic regulatory effect of dysregulated circular RNAs in Alzheimer's disease model.

ABSTRACT: As circular RNAs (circRNAs) regulates the effect of micro RNAs (miRNAs), circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network might be implicated in various disease pathogenesis. Therefore, we evaluated the dysregulated circRNAs in the Tg2576 mouse Alzheimer's disease (AD) model, their possible regulatory effects on downstream target mRNAs, and their pathomechanistic role during the disease progression. The microarray-based circRNA expression analysis at seven- and twelve-months of ages (7?M and 12?M) returned 101 dysregulated circRNAs at 7?M (55 up-regulated and 46 down-regulated) and twelve dysregulated circRNAs at 12?M (five up-regulated and seven down-regulated). For each dysregulated circRNA, potential target miRNAs and their downstream target mRNAs were searched. Dysregulation of circRNAs was associated with increased frequency of relevant dysregulation of their downstream target mRNAs. Those differentially expressed circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network included 2,275 networks (876 for up-regulated circRNAs and 1,399 for down-regulated circRNAs) at 7?M and 38 networks (25 for up-regulated circRNAs and 13 for down-regulated circRNAs) at 12?M. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway analyses demonstrated that the dysregulated mRNAs in those networks represent the AD pathomechanism at each disease stage. We concluded that the dysregulated circRNAs might involve in the AD pathogenesis by modulating disease relevant mRNAs via circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks.

Project description:IntroductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) causes a decline in cognitive function that poses a significant hazard to human health. However, the exact pathogenesis of AD and effective treatment have both proven elusive. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which were initially deemed as meaningless non-coding RNAs, have been shown to participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. However, the variations and characteristics of circRNAs are not fairly well understood during the occurrence and development of AD.MethodsIn this study, we performed RNA sequencing analyses, identified circRNA expression profiles, and explored the circRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) relationship in the hippocampus of five familial AD (5 × FAD) mice with cognitive dysfunction.ResultsThe RNA sequencing results identified 34 dysregulated circRNAs in the hippocampus of 5 × FAD mice, including 17 upregulated and 17 downregulated circRNAs. The circRNA-miRNA interaction network for the dysregulated circRNAs was generated, and it was found to include 34 circRNAs and 711 miRNAs. Next, 2067 mRNAs potentially modulated by upregulated circRNA-interacting miRNAs and 2297 mRNAs potentially modulated by downregulated circRNA-interacting miRNAs were identified. Pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network modulated AD development via multiple pathways, such as axon guidance, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and neurotrophin. The associated biological processes were mainly related to neuron projection development, cell morphogenesis, and head development. Their corresponding distributions were especially high in the axon, postsynapse, and neuronal body. We constructed a ceRNA network that included five circRNAs, four miRNAs, and 188 mRNAs. In this network, the differential expressions of three circRNAs (circRNA04655, circRNA00723, and circRNA01891), two miRNAs (miR-3470b and miR-6240), and 13 mRNAs (Vgll3, Nhsl2, Rab7, Tardbp, Vps33b, Fam107a, Tacr1, Ankrd40, Creb1, Snap23, Csnk1a1, Bmi1, and Bfar) in the hippocampus of 5 × FAD mice using qRT-PCR analyses were consistent with the RNA sequencing results. Another one circRNAs (circRNA00747) and two mRNAs (Zfp37 and Polr1e) had similar expression trends to the sequencing data, while circRNA03723 and Mapk10 had deviated expression trends to the sequencing data.ConclusionsIn conclusion, our study uncovered dysregulated circRNA expression profiles in the hippocampus of 5 × FAD mice, stretched comprehension of ceRNA biology, investigated the potential role of this ceRNA network in pathogenesis and progression, and identified potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AD.
