LncRNA expression in CD4+ T cells in neurosyphilis patients

ABSTRACT: Objective: To analysis lncRNAs expression profiles and identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in CD4+ T cells response to T. pallidum infection in neurosyphilis patients. Methods: CD4+ T cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RNA extraction was performed to conduct further experiments. Expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs in CD4+ T cells isolated from neurosyphilis patients and healthy controls were analyzed by using microarray assay. Four lncRNAs were selected to conduct validation by using real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the expression levels of those above mentioned lncRNAs in neurosyphilis patients and healthy controls were compared. Results: In total, 17, 278 lncRNAs and 15, 840 mRNA were found to be differentially expressed when comparing the CD4+ T cells between neurosyphilis patients and healthy control individuals. Of these transcripts, 2258 lncRNAs and 1728 mRNAs were significantly over or under expressed, respectively. Compared with healthy controls, AC068282.3 (fold change: 21.90) and CTD-3064M3.3 (fold change: 23.93) were the most over-expressed and under-expressed lncRNAs in neurosyphilis patients. The majority of differentially expressed lncRNAs are from intergenic regions (~ 57.5%), intronic antisense to protein-coding loci (~ 15.0%), natural antisense to protein-coding loci (~12.1%). It is worth noting that 59 lncRNAs were significant difference along with significantly different mRNA. Among the 59 pairs of genes, LOC7999 mRNA was positively correlated with lncRNA RP11-160E2.16, RP11-160E2.11, RP11-160E2.19, respectively; NKX1-1 mRNA was positively correlated with lncRNA RP11-1398P2.1, RP11-160E2.19, XLOC_003422, respectively. The following five mRNAs were correlated with two differential lncRNAs, namely DUSP16, AP000349.1, FAM115C, TIMM8A, SMCHD1. GO analysis revealed that the differentially expressed coding genes were mainly involved in the biological processes, and among them, the most significant association was observed in defense response to fungus, defense response to bacterium, killing cells of other organism and disruption of cells of other organism. Subsequent pathway analysis was also conducted, and T cell receptor signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, etc. were found out to be associated with differentially expressed mRNAs. Conclusion: The present study revealed the differential expression profiles of lncRNAs in CD4+ T cells response to T. pallidum infection in neurosyphilis patients. LncRNAs are involved in the key biological process in CD4+ T cell response to T. pallidum infection.

Project description:Objective: The diagnostic roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are still not well defined. We aimed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in plasma of ccRCC patients and health controls systematically. Methods: Expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in plasma from ccRCC patients and healthy controls was analyzed by microarray assay. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway based approaches were used to investigate biological functions and signaling pathways affected by the differentially expressed mRNAs. SOCS2-AS1 was selected for validation using Real-Time PCR. The differentially expressed genes were further compared with E-MTAB-1830 datasets by Venn and NetworkAnalyst website. The expression level and overall survival (OS) of differentially expressed mRNAs were analyzed in GEPIA and ULCAN website. Results: Compared with healthy controls, a total of 3,664 differentially expressed lncRNAs were revealed by heatmap and volcano-plot, including up-regulation in 1,511 and down-regulation in 2,153 (fold change ≥ 2 and P < 0.05), respectively. And differential expression was noticed in 2,268 mRNAs, including up-regulation in 932 mRNAs and down-regulation in 1,336 mRNAs, respectively (fold change ≥ 2 and P < 0.05). Pathways analysis based on deregulated mRNAs were mainly involved in melanogenesis and Hippo signaling pathway (P < 0.05). The expression of SOCS2-AS1 was down in ccRCC plasma and tissues, as well as in cell lines, which was the same as the results of lncRNA microarray. Compared with the E-MTAB-1830 gene expression profiles, we identified 18 lncRNAs, and 87 mRNAs were differently expressed in both plasma and neoplastic tissues of ccRCC. Ten mRNAs (EPB41L4B, CCND1, GGT1, CGNL1, CYSLTR1, PLAUR, UGT3A1, PROM2, MUC12, and PCK1) were correlated with the overall survival (OS) rate in ccRCC patients based on the GEPIA and ULCAN website.Conclusions: We first reported differentially expressed lncRNAs in ccRCC patient and healthy control systemically. Combined with the published dataset, we identified several differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs which might to be diagnostic or prognostic markers. The biological functions of those lncRNAs and mRNAs should be further validated. Taken together, this study provided the basis for future treatment of ccRCC and novel insights into cancer biology.

Project description:Background:Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by a variety of cells and are widely distributed in human body fluids. Exosomal long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a by-product of gene transcription and is involved in the regulation of cancer cell growth and migration. Numerous studies have identified aberrant lncRNA levels in pancreatic cancer (PC), but studies on exosomal lncRNA expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) plasma are relatively few and remain largely unknown. Methods:We studied the expression of exosomal lncRNAs and mRNAs in the plasma of 5 PDAC patients and 5 healthy human subjects using high-throughput sequencing. Results:A total of 43715 exosomal lncRNAs were found to be expressed in PDAC and healthy human plasma, of which 5851 were up-regulated, and 1055 were down-regulated in all 5 PDAC plasma (≥2.0-fold change, P<0.05). The expression of eight significantly expressed genes (ABCD4, RP11-77P6.2, FLVCR1-AS1, HMBOX1, TUBA1C, RP11-115C21.2, PRKG1-AS1, and MTATP6P1) were selected to be measured in 5 patients using database and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), and the data were consistent with those obtained from high-throughput sequencing. Analysis of their nearby coding genes (mRNAs) showed that the principal functions of most genes were to regulate cell metabolism process, apoptosis, protein binding and receptor binding. The main regulatory pathways included the ErbB signaling pathway, which regulates cell proliferation and differentiation, and the tumour pathway. Analysis of the co-expressed gene regulatory network identified key lncRNA-mRNA pairs that may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PDAC. Conclusions: Expression differences in exosomal lncRNAs exist between PDAC and healthy human plasma, so the expression profile of exosomal lncRNAs could explain the onset and development of PDAC and could also serve as a candidate biomarker for the diagnosis of PDAC and a potential therapeutic target.
