Identification of long noncoding RNAs involved in adaptability to chronic hypoxic by whole transcriptome sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia affects the physiology of cells and organisms; however, the mechanisms associated with hypoxia adaptation remain unknown in Tibetan chickens. In this study, we aimed to identify long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chickens and Daheng broilers, to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying hypoxia induction. RNA sequencing results revealed that a total of 5504 lncRNAs and 16,779 microRNAs were differentially expressed in four Tibetan chickens and four Daheng broilers; 70 lncRNAs were up-regulated and 113 lncRNAs were down-regulated in the Tibetan chickens compared to the expression levels in the Daheng broilers. The differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were enriched in the following Gene ontology terms: protein complex localization, small-molecule metabolic process, and RNA splicing. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses revealed that the DElncRNAs were mainly enriched in pathways that regulate cell junctions and intercellular spaces and oxygen or energy metabolism, mainly involved in hypoxic adaption. Moreover, a predicted ceRNA network with five DElncRNAs interacted with three miRNAs that acted on 42 pathways through 19 target genes. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to verify that the expression levels of ENSGALG00000008047, ENSGALG00000050044, and ENSGALG00000053982 were significantly lower in Tibetan chickens than in the Daheng broilers, consistent with the RNA sequencing results. We obtained lncRNA expression profiles for the heart tissue of Tibetan chickens for the first time and have provided novel data that may aid research on biological adaptation to hypoxic stress.

Whole-Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Long Noncoding RNAs Involved in Female Floral Development of Hickory (<i>Carya cathayensis</i> Sarg.).

Project description:Hickory, an endemic woody oil and fruit tree species in China, is of great economic value. However, hickory has a long juvenile period and an inconsistent flowering of males and females, thus influencing the bearing rates and further limiting fruits yield. Currently, it is reported that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in biological processes. However, the role of lncRNAs in the development of hickory female flowers remains unclear. In this study, a total of 6,862 putative lncRNAs were identified from the female flower transcriptomes in three different growth stages of hickory. We proposed that lncRNAs might play an important role in phytohormone signaling processes for flower formation, especially in the abscisic acid and jasmonic acid pathways, according to the results of our Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment. Moreover, we predicted the interactions among four microRNAs (miRNAs), three lncRNAs, and four genes. We proposed that facing the changing environment, LNC_002115 competes with PHOSPHATE2 (PHO2) for the binding sites on cca-miR399f, and protects PHO2 from suppression. In addition, cis-acting LNC_002115 regulates the expression of the SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) by influencing ABRE-binding factor (ABF). In brief, LNC_002115 regulates hickory female floral development by impacting both PHO2 and SVP. This study was the first to identify lncRNAs involved in hickory female floral development, and provided new insight to elucidate how lncRNAs and their targets play a role in female floral development in hickory, thus unfolding the opportunities for functional characterization of blossom-related lncRNAs in further studies.

Comprehensive characterization of 10,571 mouse large intergenic noncoding RNAs from whole transcriptome sequencing.

Project description:Large intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been recognized in recent years to constitute a significant portion of the mammalian transcriptome, yet their biological functions remain largely elusive. This is partly due to an incomplete annotation of tissue-specific lincRNAs in essential model organisms, particularly in mice, which has hindered the genetic annotation and functional characterization of these novel transcripts. In this report, we performed ab initio assembly of 1.9 billion tissue-specific RNA-sequencing reads across six tissue types, and identified 3,965 novel expressed lincRNAs in mice. Combining these with 6,606 documented lincRNAs, we established a comprehensive catalog of 10,571 transcribed lincRNAs. We then systemically analyzed all mouse lincRNAs to reveal that some of them are evolutionally conserved and that they exhibit striking tissue-specific expression patterns. We also discovered that mouse lincRNAs carry unique genomic signatures, and that their expression level is correlated with that of neighboring protein-coding transcripts. Finally, we predicted that a large portion of tissue-specific lincRNAs are functionally associated with essential biological processes including the cell cycle and cell development, and that they could play a key role in regulating tissue development and functionality. Our analyses provide a framework for continued discovery and annotation of tissue-specific lincRNAs in model organisms, and our transcribed mouse lincRNA catalog will serve as a roadmap for functional analyses of lincRNAs in genetic mouse models.

Pan-cancer transcriptome analysis reveals long noncoding RNAs with conserved function.

Project description:A growing number of gene-centric studies have highlighted the emerging significance of lncRNAs in cancer. However, these studies primarily focus on a single cancer type. Therefore, we conducted a pan-cancer analysis of lncRNAs comparing tumor and matched normal expression levels using RNA-Seq data from ? 3,000 patients in 8 solid tumor types. While the majority of differentially expressed lncRNAs display tissue-specific expression we discovered 229 lncRNAs with outlier or differential expression across multiple cancers, which we refer to as 'onco-lncRNAs'. Due to their consistent altered expression, we hypothesize that these onco-lncRNAs may have conserved oncogenic and tumor suppressive functions across cancers. To address this, we associated the onco-lncRNAs in biological processes based on their co-expressed protein coding genes. To validate our predictions, we experimentally confirmed cell growth dependence of 2 novel oncogenic lncRNAs, onco-lncRNA-3 and onco-lncRNA-12, and a previously identified lncRNA CCAT1. Overall, we discovered lncRNAs that may have broad oncogenic and tumor suppressor roles that could significantly advance our understanding of cancer lncRNA biology.

Identification of long noncoding RNAs involved in muscle differentiation.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large class of regulatory RNAs with diverse roles in cellular processes. Thousands of lncRNAs have been discovered; however, their roles in the regulation of muscle differentiation are unclear because no comprehensive analysis of lncRNAs during this process has been performed. In the present study, by combining diverse RNA sequencing datasets obtained from public database, we discovered lncRNAs that could behave as regulators in the differentiation of smooth or skeletal muscle cells. These analyses confirmed the roles of previously reported lncRNAs in this process. Moreover, we discovered dozens of novel lncRNAs whose expression patterns suggested their possible involvement in the phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells. The comparison of lncRNA expression change suggested that many lncRNAs have common roles during the differentiation of smooth and skeletal muscles, while some lncRNAs may have opposite roles in this process. The expression change of lncRNAs was highly correlated with that of their neighboring genes, suggesting that they may function as cis-acting lncRNAs. Furthermore, within the lncRNA sequences, there were binding sites for miRNAs with expression levels inversely correlated with the expression of corresponding lncRNAs during differentiation, suggesting a possible role of these lncRNAs as competing endogenous RNAs. The lncRNAs identified in this study will be a useful resource for future studies of gene regulation during muscle differentiation.

Analysis of histology and long noncoding RNAs involved in the rabbit hair follicle density using RNA sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundHair follicle density influences wool fibre production, which is one of the most important traits of the Wan Strain Angora rabbit. However, molecular mechanisms regulating hair follicle density have remained elusive.ResultsIn this study, hair follicle density at different body sites of Wan Strain Angora rabbits with high and low wool production (HWP and LWP) was investigated by histological analysis. Haematoxylin-eosin staining showed a higher hair follicle density in the skin of the HWP rabbits. The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) profile was investigated by RNA sequencing, and 50 and 38 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and genes, respectively, were screened between the HWP and LWP groups. A gene ontology analysis revealed that phospholipid, lipid metabolic, apoptotic, lipid biosynthetic, and lipid and fatty acid transport processes were significantly enriched. Potential functional lncRNAs that regulate lipid metabolism, amino acid synthesis, as well as the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and hedgehog signalling pathways, were identified. Consequently, five lncRNAs (LNC_002171, LNC_000797, LNC_005567, LNC_013595, and LNC_020367) were considered to be potential regulators of hair follicle density and development. Three DE lncRNAs and genes were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR).ConclusionsLncRNA profiles provide information on lncRNA expression to improve the understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of hair follicle density.

The landscape of long noncoding RNAs in the human transcriptome.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of tissue physiology and disease processes including cancer. To delineate genome-wide lncRNA expression, we curated 7,256 RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries from tumors, normal tissues and cell lines comprising over 43 Tb of sequence from 25 independent studies. We applied ab initio assembly methodology to this data set, yielding a consensus human transcriptome of 91,013 expressed genes. Over 68% (58,648) of genes were classified as lncRNAs, of which 79% were previously unannotated. About 1% (597) of the lncRNAs harbored ultraconserved elements, and 7% (3,900) overlapped disease-associated SNPs. To prioritize lineage-specific, disease-associated lncRNA expression, we employed non-parametric differential expression testing and nominated 7,942 lineage- or cancer-associated lncRNA genes. The lncRNA landscape characterized here may shed light on normal biology and cancer pathogenesis and may be valuable for future biomarker development.

Regulation of the ESC transcriptome by nuclear long noncoding RNAs.

Project description:Long noncoding (lnc)RNAs have recently emerged as key regulators of gene expression. Here, we performed high-depth poly(A)(+) RNA sequencing across multiple clonal populations of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) to comprehensively identify differentially regulated lncRNAs. We establish a biologically robust profile of lncRNA expression in these two cell types and further confirm that the majority of these lncRNAs are enriched in the nucleus. Applying weighted gene coexpression network analysis, we define a group of lncRNAs that are tightly associated with the pluripotent state of ESCs. Among these, we show that acute depletion of Platr14 using antisense oligonucleotides impacts the differentiation- and development-associated gene expression program of ESCs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Firre, a lncRNA highly enriched in the nucleoplasm and previously reported to mediate chromosomal contacts in ESCs, controls a network of genes related to RNA processing. Together, we provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, and high resolution compilation of lncRNA expression in ESCs and NPCs and show that nuclear lncRNAs are tightly integrated into the regulation of ESC gene expression.

Key Anti-Fibrosis Associated Long Noncoding RNAs Identified in Human Hepatic Stellate Cell via Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis.

Project description:Hepatic fibrosis is the main pathological basis for chronic cirrhosis, and activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the primary cells involved in liver fibrosis. Our study analyzed anti-fibrosis long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in activated human HSCs (hHSCs). We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and bioinformatics analysis to determine whether lncRNA expression profile changes between hHSCs activation and quiescence. Eight differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and three pairs of co-expression lncRNAs-mRNAs were verified by quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). A total of 34146 DE lncRNAs were identified in this study. Via gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses, we found several DE lncRNAs regulated hHSC activation by participating in DNA bending/packaging complex, growth factor binding and the Hippo signaling pathway (p < 0.05). With lncRNA-mRNA co-expression analysis, three lncRNAs were identified to be associated with connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and netrin-4 (NTN4). The quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) results of the eight DE lncRNAs and three pairs of co-expression lncRNAs-mRNAs were consistent with the RNA-seq data and previous reports. Several lncRNAs may serve as potential targets to reverse the progression of liver fibrosis. This study provides a first insight into lncRNA expression profile changes associated with activated human HSCs.

Deregulated RNAs involved in sympathetic regulation of sepsis-induced acute lung injury based on whole transcriptome sequencing.

Project description:Sympathetic nerves play essential roles in the regulation of lung inflammation, and we investigated the effect of sympathetic denervation (SD) on sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Mice were randomized to the control, SD, ALI and SD + ALI, groups. SD and ALI were established through intratracheal 6-hydroxydopamine and intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide, respectively. Models and gene expressions levels were evaluated by HE staining, ELISA, Western blotting and RT-qPCR. RNA extraction, whole transcriptome sequencing and subsequent biostatistical analysis were performed. Sympathetic denervation in the lungs significantly attenuated lung TNF-ɑ and norepinephrine expression, alleviated sepsis-induced acute lung injury and inhibited NF-κB signaling. Compared with the ALI group, the SD + ALI group exhibited 629 DE circRNAs, 269 DE lncRNAs,7 DE miRNAs and 186 DE mRNAs, respectively. Some DE RNAs were validated by RT-qPCR. CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks in the SD + ALI group revealed enrichment of the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, CAM, primary immunodeficiency, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction terms. The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network also revealed inflammation-related signaling pathways. Taken together, based on the successfully established models of SD and ALI, we show here that sympathetic nerves may regulate sepsis-induced ALI supposedly by affecting the expression of circRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in the lungs. These results may allow for further exploration of the roles of pulmonary sympathetic nerves in sepsis-induced ALI.

Functional evolutionary convergence of long noncoding RNAs involved in embryonic development.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs have been identified in most vertebrates, but the functional characterization of these molecules is challenging, mainly due to the lack of linear sequence homology between species. In this work, we aimed to find functional evolutionary convergent lncRNAs involved in development by screening of k-mer content (nonlinear similarity) and secondary structure-based approaches combining in silico, in vitro and in vivo validation analysis. From the Madagascar gecko genes, we have found a non-orthologous lncRNA with a similar k-mer content and structurally concordant with the human lncRNA EVX1AS. Analysis of function-related characteristics together with locus-specific targeting of human EVX1AS and gecko EVX1AS-like (i.e., CRISPR Display) in human neuroepithelial cells and chicken mesencephalon have confirmed that gecko EVX1AS-like lncRNA mimics human EVX1AS function and induces EVX1 expression independently of the target species. Our data shows functional convergence of non-homologous lncRNAs and presents a useful approach for the definition and manipulation of lncRNA function within different model organisms.
