Long noncoding RNA and messenger RNA abnormalities in pediatric sepsis: a preliminary study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sepsis represents a complex disease with dysregulated inflammatory response and high mortality rate. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play regulatory roles in a variety of biological processes. However, studies evaluating the function of lncRNAs in pediatric sepsis are scarce, and current knowledge of the role of lncRNAs in pediatric sepsis is still limited. The present study explored the expression patterns of both lncRNAs and mRNAs between pediatric sepsis patients and healthy controls based on a comprehensive microarray analysis.

Methods

LncRNA and mRNA microarray was used to detect the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the septic and control groups. Aberrantly expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs identified were further interpreted by enrichment analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, co-expression network analysis, and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).

Results

A total of 1488 differetially expressed lncRNAs and 1460 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified. A co-expression network of the identified lncRNAs and mRNAs was constructed. In this network, lncRNA lnc-RP11-1220?K2.2.1-7 is correlated with mRNA CXCR1 and CLEC4D; lncRNA lnc-ANXA3-2 is correlated with mRNA CLEC4D; lncRNA lnc-TRAPPC5-1 is correlated with mRNA DYSF and HLX; lncRNA lnc-ZNF638-1 is correlated with mRNA DYSF and HLX. Significantly different expressions between pediatric sepsis patients and controls were validated by qPCR for the 4 lncRNAs and 4 co-expressed mRNAs, validating the microarray results.

Conclusions

Our study contributes to a comprehensive understading of the involvment of lncRNAs and mRNAs in pediatric sepsis, which may guide subsequent experimental research. Furthermore, our study may also provide potential candidate lncRNAs and mRNAs for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric sepsis.

Project description:The incidence of melanoma, the most aggressive and life-threatening form of skin cancer, has significantly risen over recent decades. Therefore, it is essential to identify the mechanisms that underlie melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis and to explore novel and effective melanoma treatment strategies. Accumulating evidence s uggests that aberrantly expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have vital functions in multiple cancers. However, lncRNA functions in melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis remain unclear. In this study, we investigated lncRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles in primary melanomas, metastatic melanomas and normal skin samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We used GSE15605 as the training set (n = 74) and GSE7553 as the validation set (n = 58). In three comparisons (primary melanoma versus normal skin, metastatic melanoma versus normal skin, and metastatic melanoma versus primary melanoma), 178, 295 and 48 lncRNAs and 847, 1758, and 295 mRNAs were aberrantly expressed, respectively. We performed Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses to examine the differentially expressed mRNAs, and potential core lncRNAs were predicted by lncRNA-mRNA co-expression networks. Based on our results, 15 lncRNAs and 144 mRNAs were significantly associated with melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis. A subsequent analysis suggested a critical role for a five-lncRNA signature during melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis. Low expression of U47924.27 was significantly associated with decreased survival of patients with melanoma. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to explore the expression patterns of lncRNAs and mRNAs during melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis by re-annotating microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray dataset. These findings reveal potential roles for lncRNAs during melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis and provide a rich candidate reservoir for future studies.
