A lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network for human primed, naive and extended pluripotent stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent a promising platform for studying embryonic development, and different states of pluripotency reflect the different stages of embryo development. Here, we successfully converted three in-house-derived primed hPSC lines (H10, H24, and iPS) to a naive state and an expanded pluripotent stem cell (EPS) state. Primed, naive and EPS cells displayed state-specific morphologies and expressed pluripotent markers. The expression of SSEA4 and TRA-1-60 was downregulated in the conversion process. The H3K27me3 expression level also decreased, indicating that global methylation was reduced and that the X chromosome started to reactivate. RNA-sequencing analysis results revealed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in both naive hPSCs and EPS cells when compared to the primed state. However, imprinted gene expression barely changed before and after state reversion. Gene ontology (GO) analyses showed that the upregulated DEGs were mostly enriched in RNA processing, DNA replication and repair, and regulation of cell cycle process, while downregulated DEGs were related to extracellular adhesion and various tissue developmental processes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that EPS cells were enriched in the PI3K-Akt and Wnt signaling pathways. Analysis of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network between primed, naive hPSCs and EPS cells revealed that hsa-miR-424-5p, has-miR-16-5p, has-miR-27b-3p, has-miR-29c-3p, and KCNQ1OT1 were crucial nodes with high degrees of connectivity. Our work may represent new insight into the intrinsic molecular features of different hPSC states.

Project description:Human adipose tissue‑derived stromal stem cells (HASCs) represent a promising regenerative resource for breast reconstruction and augmentation. However, the mechanisms involved in inducing its adipogenic differentiation remain to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to comprehensively investigate the expression changes in mRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non‑coding (lnc)RNAs during the adipogenic differentiation of HASCs, and screen crucial lncRNA‑miRNA‑mRNA interaction axes using microarray datasets GSE57593, GSE25715 and GSE61302 collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Following pretreatment, differentially expressed genes (DEGs), miRNAs (DE‑miRNAs) or lncRNAs (DE‑lncRNAs) between undifferentiated and differentiated HASCs were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray data method. A protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for the DEGs based on protein databases, followed by module analysis. The 'lncRNA‑miRNA‑mRNA' competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed based on the interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs predicted by the miRWalk and lnCeDB databases. The underlying functions of mRNAs were predicted using the clusterProfiler package. In the present study, 905 DEGs, 36 DE‑miRNAs and 577 DE‑lncRNAs were screened between undifferentiated HASCs and differentiated adipocyte cells. PPI network analysis demonstrated that LEP may be a hub gene, which was also enriched in significant module 5. LEP was predicted to be involved in the Janus kinase‑signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway, and the regulation of inflammatory response. The upregulation of LEP was regulated by downregulated hsa‑miRNA (miR)‑130b‑5p and hsa‑miR‑23a‑5p (or hsa‑miR‑302d‑3p). These miRNAs also respectively interacted with RP11‑552F3.9 (or RP11‑15A1.7), ultimately forming the ceRNA axes. In conclusion, the present study revealed that the RP11‑552F3.9 (RP11‑15A1.7)‑hsa‑miR‑130b‑5p/hsa‑miR‑23a‑5p (hsa‑miR‑302d‑3p)‑LEP interaction axes may be crucial for inducing the adipogenic differentiation of HASCs via involvement in inflammation.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are ncRNA transcripts >200 nucleotides that are important genetic regulators. LncRNAs can directly regulate mRNA through a lncRNA-mRNA regulatory mode and can also regulate mRNA through competitive binding to micro (mi)RNA, which is generally known as the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. The present study evaluated the functional roles and regulatory networks of lncRNAs in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). The proliferative ability of mouse glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) induced by different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in LPS-induced GMCs. Based on the sequencing results, six lncRNAs were selected for validation using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Furthermore, the lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network and the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network were constructed to assess the role and mechanism of CGN-related lncRNAs. To elucidate the biological functions of lncRNAs, Gene Ontology (GO) biological process term enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed on all mRNAs involved in the lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network and in the ceRNA network. A total of 1,532 differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 594 upregulated lncRNAs and 938 downregulated lncRNAs, were identified using RNA-seq. The results of RT-qPCR validation were consistent with RNA-seq results. An lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network, including 236 lncRNAs and 556 mRNAs, and a ceRNA network, including 6 lncRNAs, 18 miRNAs and 419 mRNAs, were successfully constructed. The GO biological process term enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses demonstrated that those lncRNAs were often related to inflammatory response and substance metabolism. The present study identified key CGN-related lncRNAs in LPS-induced GMCs, and further demonstrated a global view of the lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network and ceRNA network involved in CGN. These results offered novel insights into the roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of CGN and identified potential diagnostic biomarkers.
