The Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Intracranial Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) represent the most complex and relevant problem of modern neurology and neurosurgery. They serve as one of the main causes of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), causing up to 85% of all cases of intracranial hemorrhage, which is associated with frequent disability and high mortality among patients. Unfortunately, the molecular mechanisms of the development and rupture of IAs are still under study. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that typically have a length of more than 200 nucleotides. It is known that lncRNAs regulate many processes, such as transcription, translation, cell differentiation, regulation of gene expression, and regulation of the cell cycle. In recent years, a lot of evidence has established their role in human diseases from oncology to cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that lncRNAs may be involved in the pathogenesis of IAs. The study of lncRNAs and its targets in various pathological conditions of a person is a rapidly developing field, and it is likely that the knowledge obtained from these studies regarding the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms will have the potential to use lncRNAs in therapy, as well as in the diagnosis and prediction of high aneurysms risk of rupture.

Project description:Ruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA)‑induced subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) triggers a series of immune responses and inflammation in the brain and body. The present study was conducted to identify additional circulating biomarkers that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for SAH‑induced inflammation. Differentially expressed (DE) long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs; DElncRNAs) and genes (DEGs) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells between patients with IA rupture‑induced SAH and healthy controls were identified in the GSE36791 dataset. DEGs were used for weighted gene co‑expression network analysis (WGCNA), and SAH‑associated WGCNA modules were identified. Subsequently, an lncRNA‑mRNA regulatory network was constructed using the DEGs in SAH‑associated WGCNA modules. A total of 25 DElncRNAs and 1,979 DEGs were screened from patients with IA‑induced SAH in the GSE36791 dataset compared with the controls. A total of 11 WGCNA modules, including four upregulated modules significantly associated with IA rupture‑induced SAH were obtained. The DEGs in the SAH‑associated modules were associated with Gene Ontology biological processes such as 'regulation of programmed cell death', 'apoptosis' and 'immune response'. The subsequent lncRNA‑mRNA regulatory network included seven upregulated lncRNAs [HCG27, ZNFX1 antisense RNA 1, long intergenic non‑protein coding RNA (LINC)00265, murine retrovirus integration site 1 homolog‑antisense RNA 1, cytochrome P450 1B1‑AS1, LINC01347 and LINC02193] and 375 DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis and screening in the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database demonstrated that SAH‑associated DEGs, including neutrophil cytosolic factor (NCF)2 and NCF4, were enriched in 'chemokine signaling pathway' (hsa04062), 'leukocyte transendothelial migration' (hsa04670) and 'Fc gamma R‑mediated phagocytosis' (hsa04666). The upregulated lncRNAs and genes, including NCF2 and NCF4, in patients with IA rupture‑induced SAH indicated their respective potentials as anti‑inflammatory therapeutic targets.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, common genetic risk factors for intracranial aneurysm (IA) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) were found to explain a large amount of disease heritability and therefore have potential to be used for genetic risk prediction. We constructed a genetic risk score to (1) predict ASAH incidence and IA presence (combined set of unruptured IA and ASAH) and (2) assess its association with patient characteristics.MethodsA genetic risk score incorporating genetic association data for IA and 17 traits related to IA (so-called metaGRS) was created using 1161 IA cases and 407 392 controls from the UK Biobank population study. The metaGRS was validated in combination with risk factors blood pressure, sex, and smoking in 828 IA cases and 68 568 controls from the Nordic HUNT population study. Furthermore, we assessed association between the metaGRS and patient characteristics in a cohort of 5560 IA patients.ResultsPer SD increase of metaGRS, the hazard ratio for ASAH incidence was 1.34 (95% CI, 1.20-1.51) and the odds ratio for IA presence 1.09 (95% CI, 1.01-1.18). Upon including the metaGRS on top of clinical risk factors, the concordance index to predict ASAH hazard increased from 0.63 (95% CI, 0.59-0.67) to 0.65 (95% CI, 0.62-0.69), while prediction of IA presence did not improve. The metaGRS was statistically significantly associated with age at ASAH (β=-4.82×10-3 per year [95% CI, -6.49×10-3 to -3.14×10-3]; P=1.82×10-8), and location of IA at the internal carotid artery (odds ratio=0.92 [95% CI, 0.86-0.98]; P=0.0041).ConclusionsThe metaGRS was predictive of ASAH incidence, although with limited added value over clinical risk factors. The metaGRS was not predictive of IA presence. Therefore, we do not recommend using this metaGRS in daily clinical care. Genetic risk does partly explain the clinical heterogeneity of IA warranting prioritization of clinical heterogeneity in future genetic prediction studies of IA and ASAH.
