Identification of long non-coding RNA using single nucleotide epimutation analysis: a novel gene discovery approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in a variety of mechanisms related to tumorigenesis by functioning as oncogenes or tumor-suppressors or even harboring oncogenic and tumor-suppressing effects; representing a new class of cancer biomarkers and therapeutic targets. It is predicted that more than 35,000 ncRNA especially lncRNA are positioned at the intergenic regions of the human genome. Emerging research indicates that one of the key pathways controlling lncRNA expression and tissue specificity is epigenetic regulation.

Methods

In the current article, a novel approach for lncRNA discovery based on the intergenic position of most lncRNAs and a single CpG site methylation level representing epigenetic characteristics has been suggested.

Results

Using this method, a novel antisense lncRNA named LINC02892 presenting three transcripts without the capacity of coding a protein was found exhibiting nuclear, cytoplasmic, and exosome distributions.

Conclusion

The current discovery strategy could be applied to identify novel non-coding RNAs influenced by methylation aberrations.

Project description:A previous genome-wide transcriptional analysis identified long non-coding RNA 8138.1 (lncRNA8138.1) as a candidate gene related to hen duration of the fertility (DF) trait. LncRNA8138.1 gene response to growth factor and reproductive system development suggests it has a vital role in reproduction. In this study, we investigated the lncRNA8138.1 gene sequence in a population of egg-laying hens. The sequence analysis of the lncRNA8138.1 gene containing about 1.6 k nucleotides (nt) was observed with four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 7 nt indel including r.4937159A > G; r.4937219T > C; r.4937258G > C; r.4937318C > G and g.4937319_4937325delinsTGTGTGG. Next, the genomic DNAs from laying hen populations were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to detect a region of 457 bp carrying lncRNA8138.1 r.4937159A > G substitution. Further inspection of the region containing r.4937159A > G mutation revealed three genotypes viz., AA, AG, and GG were observed with respective frequencies of 0.106, 0.607, and 0.287 in laying hen population 1 (P1) (n = 1, 042) and respective frequencies of 0.176, 0.708, and 0.116 in laying hen population 2 (P2) (n = 826). Moreover, to further examining the frequencies of r.4937159A > G genotypes in P1 and P2, and their additive and dominance effects; r.4937159A > G locus was significantly associated with DF-trait in both P1 and P2 (EN: the number of eggs, FN: the number of fertile eggs after a single AI), and DN (the number of days post-insemination until last fertile egg). In testing for additive and dominance effects, additive effect was significant (P < 0.05) in both P1 and P2 for DF-trait, and the dominance effect was significant (P < 0.05) for EN and FN traits, suggesting that r.4937159A > G polymorphism is a potential biomarker for DF-trait. However, the identified novel r.4937159A > G mutation and others require further investigation to confirm phenotypic causality and potential genetic relationships with reproductive traits. Overall, our findings suggest the significance of genetic variation in long non-coding RNAs may assist in future breeding programs to improve selection for prolonged DF-trait.
