Long Non-coding RNA and mRNA Profile of Liver Tissue During Four Developmental Stages in the Chicken.

ABSTRACT: The liver is the major organ of lipid biosynthesis in the chicken. In laying hens, the liver synthesizes most of the yolk precursors and transports them to developing follicles to produce eggs. However, a systematic investigation of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA transcriptome in liver across developmental stages is needed. Here, we constructed 12 RNA libraries from liver tissue during four developmental stages: juvenile (day 60), sexual maturity (day 133), peak laying (day 220), and broodiness (day 400). A total of 16,930 putative lncRNAs and 18,260 mRNAs were identified. More than half (53.70%) of the lncRNAs were intergenic lncRNAs. The temporal expression pattern showed that lncRNAs were more restricted than mRNAs. We identified numerous differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs by pairwise comparison between the four developmental stages and found that VTG2, RBP, and a novel protein-coding gene were differentially expressed in all stages. Time-series analysis showed that the modules with upregulated genes were involved in lipid metabolism processes. Co-expression networks suggested functional relatedness between mRNAs and lncRNAs; the DE-lncRNAs were mainly involved in lipid biosynthesis and metabolism processes. We showed that the liver transcriptome varies across different developmental stages. Our results improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying liver development in chickens.

Project description:BackgroundRectal cancer (RC) is a malignant tumor that seriously threatens human health. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in tumor regulation. Nevertheless, their exact expression features and functions remain obscure, and therefore was the aim of the current study.MethodsWe utilized the Affymetrix human GeneChip to screen differentially expressed profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs from the cancer tissues and matched paracancer tissues of 6 RC patients. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses identified crucial functions and pathways of the aberrantly expressed mRNAs. We used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to verify the significant expression differences of 11 candidate lncRNAs between the cancer and paracancer tissues. LncRNA-mRNA coexpression networks were built by calculating the Pearson correlation value to identify significant correlation pairs. Online bioinformatics tools GEPIA2, ONCOMINE, and PROGgeneV2 were used to mine the expression and prognosis of three crucial mRNAs and six verified lncRNAs. Competing endogenous RNA networks were constructed by predicting microRNA response elements and calculating free energy.ResultsWe found 1658 differentially expressed lncRNAs (778 up-regulated and 880 down-regulated) and 1783 aberrantly expressed mRNAs (909 up-regulated and 874 down-regulated). GO and pathway enrichment analyses revealed the vital functions of the differentially expressed mRNAs, including cell proliferation, cell migration, angiogenesis, and cellular response to zinc ion. The canonical signaling pathways mainly included the interleukin-17, cell cycle, Wnt, and mineral absorption signaling pathways. Six lncRNAs including AC017002.2 (P = 0.039), cancer susceptibility 19 (CASC19) (P = 0.021), LINC00152 (P = 0.013), NONHSAT058834 (P = 0.007), NONHSAT007692 (P = 0.045), and ENST00000415991.1 (P = 0.045) showed significant differences in expression levels between the cancer tissue and paracancer tissue groups. AC017002.2, NONHSAT058834, NONHSAT007692, and ENST00000415991.1 have not yet been reported in RC. The crucial mRNAs myelocytomatosis viral oncogene (MYC), transforming growth factor beta induced (TGFBI), and solute carrier family 7 member 5 (SLC7A5) were selected. AC017002.2 and LINC00152 were positively correlated with MYC, TGFBI, and cytochrome P450 family 2 sub-family B member 6 (All r > 0.900, P < 0.050). NONHSAT058834 was positively associated with MYC (r = 0.930, P < 0.001), and CASC19 was positively correlated with SLC7A5 (r = 0.922, P < 0.001).ConclusionThis study offers convincing evidence of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs as potential biomarkers in RC.
