Identification of Long Non-Coding RNA-Associated Competing Endogenous RNA Network in the Differentiation of Chicken Preadipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of cell differentiation by acting as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). However, the regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA and the lncRNA-associated ceRNA network involved in adipogenic differentiation of chicken preadipocytes remain elusive. Here, we first constructed the chicken preadipocyte in vitro induction model. Then, we identified differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), miRNAs (DEMis), and mRNAs (DEMs) between differentiated and undifferentiated preadipocytes. Furthermore, we constructed the lncRNA associated ceRNA network by gene expression correlation analysis and target prediction of DELs, DEMis, and DEMs. Finally, we determined twelve candidate lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions from the lncRNA associated ceRNA network. Eight out of the twelve interactions were validated by RT-qPCR, indicating their potential role in the regulation of chicken preadipocytes differentiation. Among the eight interactions, TCONS_00026544-gga-miR-128-1-5p-RASD1, TCONS_00055280-gga-miR-135a-5p-JAM3, TCONS_00055280-gga-miR-135a-5p-GPR133, TCONS_00055280-gga-miR-135a-5p-CLDN1, and TCONS_00055280-gga-miR-135a-5p-TMEM123 may promote adipogenic differentiation of chicken preadipocytes while TCONS_00057272-gga-miR-146a-3p-FOXO6, TCONS_00057242-gga-miR-6615-3p-FOXO6, and TCONS_00057242-gga-miR-6615-3p-ENSGALT00000043224 have the opposite effects. Our results not only provide novel insights into ceRNA roles of lncRNAs in chicken preadipocytes differentiation and but also contribute to a better understanding of chicken fat deposition.

Project description:Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a serious psychiatric condition with a 1% lifetime risk. SCZ is one of the top ten global causes of disabilities. Despite numerous attempts to understand the function of genetic factors in SCZ development, genetic components in SCZ pathophysiology remain unknown. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network has been demonstrated to be involved in the development of many kinds of diseases. The ceRNA hypothesis states that cross-talks between coding and non-coding RNAs, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), via miRNA complementary sequences known as miRNA response elements, creates a large regulatory network across the transcriptome. In the present study, we developed a lncRNA-related ceRNA network to elucidate molecular regulatory mechanisms involved in SCZ. Microarray datasets associated with brain regions (GSE53987) and lymphoblasts (LBs) derived from peripheral blood (sample set B from GSE73129) of SCZ patients and control subjects containing information about both mRNAs and lncRNAs were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The GSE53987 comprised 48 brain samples taken from SCZ patients (15 HPC: hippocampus, 15 BA46: Brodmann area 46, 18 STR: striatum) and 55 brain samples taken from control subjects (18 HPC, 19 BA46, 18 STR). The sample set B of GSE73129 comprised 30 LB samples (15 patients with SCZ and 15 controls). Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified using the limma package of the R software. Using DIANA-LncBase, Human MicroRNA Disease Database (HMDD), and miRTarBase, the lncRNA- associated ceRNA network was generated. Pathway enrichment of DEmRNAs was performed using the Enrichr tool. We developed a protein-protein interaction network of DEmRNAs and identified the top five hub genes by the use of STRING and Cytoscape, respectively. Eventually, the hub genes, DElncRNAs, and predictive miRNAs were chosen to reconstruct the subceRNA networks. Our bioinformatics analysis showed that twelve key DEmRNAs, including BDNF, VEGFA, FGF2, FOS, CD44, SOX2, NRAS, SPARC, ZFP36, FGG, ELAVL1, and STARD13, participate in the ceRNA network in SCZ. We also identified DLX6-AS1, NEAT1, MINCR, LINC01094, DLGAP1-AS1, BABAM2-AS1, PAX8-AS1, ZFHX4-AS1, XIST, and MALAT1 as key DElncRNAs regulating the genes mentioned above. Furthermore, expression of 15 DEmRNAs (e.g., ADM and HLA-DRB1) and one DElncRNA (XIST) were changed in both the brain and LB, suggesting that they could be regarded as candidates for future biomarker studies. The study indicated that ceRNAs could be research candidates for investigating SCZ molecular pathways.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a common type of cancer, and identification of novel diagnostic biomarkers associated with this disease is important. The present study aimed to identify novel diagnostic biomarkers associated with the prognosis of GC, using an integrated bioinformatics approach. Differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with GC were identified using Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE58828, GSE72305 and GSE99416) and The Cancer Genome Atlas database. A competing endogenous RNA network that incorporated five lncRNAs [long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 501 (LINC00501), LINC00365, SOX21 antisense divergent transcript 1 (SOX21-AS1), GK intronic transcript 1 (GK-IT1) and DLEU7 antisense RNA 1 (DLEU7-AS1)], 29 microRNAs and 114 mRNAs was constructed. Gene Ontology and protein-protein interaction network analyses revealed that these lncRNAs may be involved in 'biological regulation', 'metabolic process', 'cell communication', 'developmental process', 'cell proliferation', 'reproduction' and the 'cell cycle'. The results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that LINC00501 (AUC=0.819), LINC00365 (AUC=0.580), SOX21-AS1 (AUC=0.736), GK-IT1 (AUC=0.823) and DLEU7-AS1 (AUC=0.932) had the potential to become valuable diagnostic biomarkers for GC. Associations with clinicopathological characteristics demonstrated that LINC00501 expression was significantly associated with sex (P=0.015) and tumor grade (P=0.022). Furthermore, LINC00365 expression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P=0.025). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that LINC00501, LINC00365 and SOX21-AS1 were enriched in signaling pathways associated with GC. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that LINC00501 expression (P=0.043) was significantly upregulated in GC tissues, whereas the expression levels of LINC00365 (P=0.033) and SOX21-AS1 (P=0.037) were significantly downregulated in GC tissues. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that LINC00501, LINC00365, SOX21-AS1, GK-IT1 and DLEU7-AS1 may be used as novel diagnostic biomarkers for GC, and may be functionally associated with GC development and progression.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to develop multi-RNA-based models using a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network to provide survival risk prediction in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).MethodsAll long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA expression data and clinicopathological features related to HNSCC were derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Differentially expressed RNAs were calculated using R. Prognostic factors were identified using univariate Cox regression analysis. Functional analysis was performed using GO, KEGG pathways, and PPI network. Based on the results, we derived a risk signature and compared high- and low-risk subgroups using LASSO regression analysis. Survival analysis and the relationship between risk signature and clinicopathological features were performed using log-rank tests and Cox regression analysis. A ceRNA regulatory network was constructed, and prognostic lncRNAs and miRNA expression levels were validated in vitro and in vivo.ResultsA list of 207 lncRNAs, 18 miRNAs and 362 mRNAs related to overall survival was established. Five lncRNAs (HOTTIP, LINC00460, RMST, SFTA1P, and TM4SF19-AS1), one miRNA (hsa-miR-206), and one mRNA (STC2) were used to construct the ceRNA network. Three prognostic models contained 13 lncRNAs, eight miRNAs, and 17 mRNAs, which correlated with the patient status, disease-free survival (DFS), stage, grade, T stage, N stage, TP53 mutation status, angiolymphatic invasion, HPV status, and extracapsular spread. KEGG pathway analysis revealed significant enrichment of "Transcriptional misregulation in cancer" and "Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction." In addition, HOTTIP, LINC00460, miR-206 and STC2 were validated in GTEx data, GEO microarrays and six HNSCC cell lines.ConclusionsOur findings clarify the interaction of ceRNA regulatory networks and crucial clinicopathological features. These results show that prognostic biomarkers can be identified by constructing multi-RNA-based prognostic models, which can be used for survival risk prediction in patients with HNSCC.

Project description:Long non?coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases; however, the role of circulating acute ischemic stroke (AIS)?related lncRNAs remains relatively unknown. The present study aimed to screen crucial lncRNAs for AIS based on the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis. The expression profile datasets for one mRNA, accession no. GSE16561, and four microRNAs (miRNAs), accession nos. GSE95204, GSE86291, GSE55937 and GSE110993, were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs), lncRNAs (DELs), and miRNAs (DEMs) were identified, and ClusterProfiler was used to interpret the function of the DEGs. Based on the protein?protein interaction (PPI) network and module analyses, hub DEGs were identified. A ceRNA network was established based on miRNA?mRNA or miRNA?lncRNA interaction pairs. In total, 2,041 DEGs and 5 DELs were identified between the AIS and controls samples in GSE16561, and 10 DEMs between at least two of the four miRNA expression profiles. A PPI network was constructed with 1,235 DEGs, among which 20 genes were suggested to be hub genes. The hub genes paxillin (PXN), FYN?proto?oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase (FYN), ras homolog family member A (RHOA), STAT1, and growth factor receptor?bound protein 2 (GRB2), were amongst the most significantly enriched modules extracted from the PPI network. Functional analysis revealed that these hub genes were associated with inflammation?related signaling pathways. An AIS?related ceRNA network was constructed, in which 4 DELs were predicted to function as ceRNAs for 9 DEMs, to regulate the five identified hub genes; that is, minichromosome maintenance complex component 3 associated protein?antisense RNA 1 (MCM3AP?AS1)/long intergenic non?protein coding RNA 1089 (LINC01089)/hsa?miRNA (miR)?125a/FYN, inositol?tetrakisphosphate 1?kinase?antisense RNA 1 (ITPK1?AS1)/hsa?let?7i/RHOA/GRB2/STAT1, and human leukocyte antigen complex group 27 (HCG27)/hsa?-miR?19a/PXN interaction axes. In conclusion, MCM3AP?AS1, LINC01089, ITPK1?AS1, and HCG27 may represent new biomarkers and underlying targets for the treatment of AIS.
