Comprehensive Analysis of Differentially Expressed lncRNA, circRNA and mRNA and Their ceRNA Networks in Mice With Severe Acute Pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an acute digestive system disease with high morbidity mortality and hospitalization rate worldwide, due to various causes and unknown pathogenesis. In recent years, a large number of studies have confirmed that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play an important role in many cellular processes and disease occurrence. However, the underlying mechanisms based on the function of ncRNAs, including long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA), in SAP remain unclear. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing on the pancreatic tissues of three normal mice and three SAP mice for the first time to describe and analyze the expression profiles of ncRNAs, including lncRNA and circRNA. Our results identified that 49 lncRNAs, 56 circRNAs and 1,194 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the SAP group, compared with the control group. Furthermore, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs, and found that the functions of the parental genes are enriched in the calcium-regulated signaling pathway, NF-?B signaling pathway, autophagy and protein digestion and absorption processes, which are closely related to the central events in pathogenesis of SAP. We also constructed lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks to further explore their underlying mechanism and possible relationships in SAP. We found that in the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks, differentially expressed lncRNAs and circRNAs are mainly involved in the apoptosis pathway and calcium signal transduction pathway. In conclusion, we found that lncRNAs and circRNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of SAP, which may provide new insights in further exploring the pathogenesis of SAP and seek new targets for SAP.

Project description:Accumulating evidence has indicated that noncoding RNAs are involved in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD); however, the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA)‑mediated regulatory mechanisms in IDD remain rarely reported. The present study aimed to comprehensively investigate the alterations in expression levels of circular RNA (circRNA), long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA/miR) and mRNA in the nucleus pulposus (NP) of patients with IDD. In addition, crucial lncRNA/circRNA‑miRNA‑mRNA ceRNA interaction axes were screened using the GSE67567 microarray dataset obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. After data preprocessing, differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs), lncRNAs (DELs), miRNAs (DEMs) or genes (DEGs) between IDD and normal controls were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray data method. A protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed for DEGs based on protein databases, followed by module analysis. The ceRNA network was constructed based on the interaction between miRNAs and mRNAs, and lncRNAs/circRNAs and miRNAs. The underlying functions of mRNAs were predicted using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery database. The present study identified 636 DECs, 115 DELs, 84 DEMs and 1,040 DEGs between patients with IDD and control individuals. PPI network analysis demonstrated that Fos proto‑oncogene, AP‑1 transcription factor subunit (FOS), mitogen‑activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit α (HIF1A) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFB1) were hub genes and enriched in modules. Metastasis‑associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1)/hsa_circRNA_102348‑hsa‑miR‑185‑5p‑TGFB1/FOS, MALAT1‑hsa‑miR‑155‑5p‑HIF1A, hsa_circRNA_102399‑hsa‑miR‑302a‑3p‑HIF1A, MALAT1‑hsa‑miR‑519d‑3p‑MAPK1 and hsa_circRNA_100086‑hsa‑miR‑509‑3p‑MAPK1 ceRNA axes were obtained by constructing the ceRNA networks. In conclusion, these identified ceRNA interaction axes may be crucial targets for the treatment of IDD.

Project description:BackgroundThe traditional Chinese medicine prescription, Qianggan formula have been confirmed to be effective on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure.MethodsThirty-six male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: normal chow diet group; methionine-and-choline-deficient diet (MCD) group, and Qianggan extract (QG) intervention group (0.4 g/kg daily) that fed with MCD. The efficacy of QG was biochemically and histologically evaluated. The expression profiles of messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) were examined using microarray and verified by RT-qPCR.ResultsQG significantly improved the phenotypic characteristics of NASH, as serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and liver inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased. By the cutoff of a 1.5-fold change and P < 0.05, 6193 mRNAs, 5692 lncRNAs and 4843 circRNAs were identified as differentially expressed between the MCD and normal groups, and 514 mRNAs, 1182 lncRNAs and 443 circRNAs were identified as differentially expressed between the QG and MCD groups. The intersections (244 mRNAs, 259 lncRNAs and 98 circRNAs) among the three groups were chosen for analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment revealed that most overlapping mRNAs were related to immune functions such as natural-killer-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, intestinal immune network for IgA production, and T cell receptor signaling pathway. Pathway interactions, protein-protein interactions and molecular complex detection (MCODE) analysis identified numerous immune-related hub genes e.g. natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 1(Ncr1), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9 (Cxcl9), Klra1, and Cd28. Finally, two lncRNAs (Sngh1 and Slc36a3os) and four circRNAs (circ_0009029, circ_0004572, circ_0009212 and circ_0009453) in competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed by Cytoscape, and immune-related mRNAs (e.g., Cd28, Cd8a, Il15, and Klrk1) were involved in the ceRNA networks.ConclusionsLncRNA and circRNA-associated immune ceRNA networks might be the targets of QG in alleviating NASH, and our work may provide valuable clues for exploring the mechanisms underlying the effect of QG.

Project description:ObjectiveThe etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) remain unclear, and ideal biomarkers for the early detection of PE are scarce. The involvement of the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis in PE is only partially understood. The present study aimed to delineate a regulatory network in PE comprised of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) via ceRNA profiles from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to further reveal the pathogenesis of PE and potential biomarkers.MethodsDifferentially expressed mRNAs, circRNAs, and lncRNAs were detected in HUVECs from early onset preeclampsia (EOPE) cases (n = 4) and normal pregnancies (n = 4) by microarray analysis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to systematically analyze the data, and a relevant ceRNA network was constructed. RNAs (ANGPT2, LIPG, hsa_circ_0025992, hsa_circ_0090396, hsa_circ_0066955, hsa_circ_0041203, hsa_circ_0018116, lnc-C17orf64-1:1, lnc-SLC27A2-2:1, and lnc-UEVLD-5:1) were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in 10 pairs of HUVECs and placental tissues from PE patients and normal pregnancies. Furthermore, expression of hsa_circ_0025992 was detected in maternal peripheral blood samples from PE patients (n = 24) and normal pregnancies (n = 30) to confirm its potential as a novel biomarker. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze its diagnostic value.ResultsCompared with HUVECs from normal pregnancies, HUVECs from EOPE cases had 33 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), 272 DEcircRNAs, and 207 DElncRNAs. GO and KEGG analyses of the DERNAs revealed the biological processes and pathways involved in PE. Based on the microarray data and the predicted miRNAs, a ceRNA network was constructed with four mRNAs, 34 circRNAs, nine lncRNAs, and 99 miRNAs. GO and KEGG analyses of the network reinforced the crucial roles of metabolic disorders, the p53 and JAK/STAT signaling pathways in PE. In addition, ROC analysis indicated that hsa_circ_0025992 could be used as a novel biomarker for PE.ConclusionA novel ceRNA network was revealed in PE, and the potential of hsa_circ_0025992 to serve as a new biomarker was confirmed.
