Age-Related Pathways in Cardiac Regeneration: A Role for lncRNAs?

ABSTRACT: Aging imposes a barrier for tissue regeneration. In the heart, aging leads to a severe rearrangement of the cardiac structure and function and to a subsequent increased risk of heart failure. An intricate network of distinct pathways contributes to age-related alterations during healthy heart aging and account for a higher susceptibility of heart disease. Our understanding of the systemic aging process has already led to the design of anti-aging strategies or to the adoption of protective interventions. Nevertheless, our understanding of the molecular determinants operating during cardiac aging or repair remains limited. Here, we will summarize the molecular and physiological alterations that occur during aging of the heart, highlighting the potential role for long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as novel and valuable targets in cardiac regeneration/repair.

Project description:BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the occurrence and development of HCC through multiple pathways. Our previous study reported the specific molecular mechanism for sulfatide regulation of integrin αV expression and cell adhesion in HCC cells through lncRNA AY927503. Next, it is necessary to identify more sulfatide-related lncRNAs, explore their clinical signifcance, and determine new targeted treatment strategies.MethodsMicroarrays were used to screen a complete set of lncRNAs with different expression profiles in sulfatide-treated cells. Sulfatide-related lncRNAs expression data and corresponding HCC patient survival information were obtained from the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the prognosis prediction model was constructed based on Cox regression analysis. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation with next generation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) was used to detemine the effect of sulfatide on lncRNAs m6A modification. Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and Gene set nnrichment analysis (GSEA) were utilized to enrich the immune and functional pathways of sulfatide-related lncRNAs.ResultsA total of 85 differentially expressed lncRNAs (|Fold Change (FC)|>2, P<0.05) were screened in sulfatide-treated HCC cells. As a result, 24 sulfatide-related lncRNAs were highly expressed in HCC tissues, six of which were associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. Based on thses data, a sulfatide-related lncRNAs prognosis assessment model for HCC was constructed. According to this risk score analysis, the overall survival (OS) curve showed that the OS of high-risk patients was significantly lower than that of low-risk patients (P<0.05). Notably, the expression difference in sulfatide-related lncRNA NRSN2-AS1 may be related to sulfatide-induced RNA m6A methylation. In addition, the expression level of NRSN2-AS1 was significantly positively correlated with immune cell infiltration in HCC and participated in the peroxisome and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways.ConclusionsIn conclusion, sulfatide-related lncRNAs might be promising prognostic and therapeutic targets for HCC.
