Comparison of lncRNA and mRNA expression levels in peri-implantitis and periodontitis

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs that influence the different manifestations of peri-implantitis and periodontitis (I vs. P). Materials and methods: Gingival tissues from 6 peri-implantitis patients, 6 periodontitis patients, and 6 healthy individuals were analysed using lncRNAs and mRNAs gene expression microarrays. A lncRNAs subgroup analysis, a lncRNAs cluster graph, gene ontology (GO), and a pathway analysis of mRNAs were performed to analyse the data extracted from microarrays. To verify the results of the microarray studies, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to assess some differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs. Results: In the gene expression microarray studies, 1,079 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 1,003 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified when comparing I vs. P. The lncRNAs subgroup analysis showed that there were 9 significantly up-regulated antisense lncRNAs and 18 significantly down-regulated antisense lncRNAs when comparing I vs. P. GO analysis on mRNAs revealed that the cyclooxygenase pathway is the most prominent signal among the up-regulated transcripts (3 genes) and that hemidesmosome assembly represents the most significant biological process among the down-regulated transcripts (4 genes) when comparing I vs. P. The expression levels of antisense lncRNA GACAT2 and mRNA MTCL1, antisense lncRNA MSC-AS1 with its sense mRNA MSC and TRPA1 were verified by RT-qPCR. Conclusions: Results indicated that peri-implantitis and periodontitis exhibit significantly different lncRNAs and mRNAs expression profiles. Additionally, specific lncRNAs may take part in the pathogenesis mechanisms of peri-implantitis and periodontitis through influencing their nearby mRNAs.
