Systematic analysis of long non-coding RNA and mRNA profiling using RNA sequencing in the femur and muscle of ovariectomized rats.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression profile of lncRNAs in bone and skeletal muscle of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. METHODS:Six-month-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into OVX group (ovariectomized, n=12) and sham group (sham-operated, n=12). After 12 weeks, RNA-seq was used to analyze the differential expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in femur and quadriceps between two groups. Dys-regulated expression of lncRNAs was confirmed by qRT-PCR. The cis and trans-regulatory functions were analyzed to determine their function and biological processes. Lastly, GO and KEGG analyses were performed to assess the biological relevance of genes in each profile. RESULTS:A total of 17 lncRNAs and 440 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the femur. Thirteen lncRNAs and 292 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the quadriceps. qRT-PCR results were in consistent with the RNA-seq data. Among them, ENSRNOT00000090777 was found in both femur and quadriceps samples. Bioinformatics analysis found that LNC_004549 participated in the differentiation of skeletal and skeletal muscle. CONCLUSIONS:The expression profile of lncRNAs was significantly altered in femur and quadriceps of OVX rat models, which may offer new insights into pathogenesis of osteoporosis and sarcopenia and potentially provide novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:The blue egg is both of biological interest and economic importance for consumers, egg retailers, and scientists. To date, the genetic mechanisms underlying pigment have mainly focused on protein-coding genes. However, the underpinning mechanism of non-coding RNAs on the pigment deposition among different eggshell colors remains unknown. In this study, RNA sequencing was employed to profile the uterine gland transcriptome (lncRNA and mRNA) of 15 Changshun blue eggshell layers, to better understand the genetic mechanisms of deposition of blue eggshell color. Results showed that differentially expressed mRNAs, GO terms, and KEGG pathways among pink-eggshell and blue-eggshell chickens were mainly targeting immune- and transporter-related terms with the SLC family, IgJ, CD family, and MTMR genes. Furthermore, the progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation and cortisol synthesis and secretion pathway with targeted gene PGR and Pbx1 were significantly enriched between blue- and pink-eggshell chickens. Integrating analysis of lncRNA and mRNA profiles predicted 4 and 25 lncRNA-gene pairs by antisense and cis analysis. They were relative to immune, nerve, and lipids and amino acid metabolisms, porphyrin, and chlorophyll metabolism with targeted gene FECH and oxidative phosphorylation and cardiac muscle contraction pathways with targeted gene COX6A1. Within blue-eggshell chickens, the GO terms hindbrain tangential cell migration and phosphatidylinositol monophosphate phosphatase activity with targeted gene Plxna2 and MTRM1 were identified. Integrating analysis of lncRNA and mRNA profiles predicted 8 and 22 lncRNA-gene pairs. Most pathways were mainly enriched on lipid-related metabolisms as found in mRNA sequencing. The lncRNAs did exert similar functions in color formation by modulating pigment disposition and immune- and lipid-related metabolisms. Our results provide a catalog of chicken uterine lncRNAs and genes worthy of further studies to understand their roles in the selection for blue eggshell color layers.
