Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of human cell-free circulating miRNAs expression in early rheumatoid arthritis

ABSTRACT: The second metacarpal head (MCP2) of the 20 ERA patients and 6 sex- and age- matched healthy controls were scanned by HR-pQCT. Then the 20 ERA patients were devided into two sub-groups: bone erosion group and non-erosion group detected by HR-pQCT. Peripheral blood samples were collected using Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at the day of fasting status of ERA patients as well as HCs and were centrifuged at 3000×g for 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, the plasma samples were aliquoted and centrifuged at 3000×g for an additional 10 minutes at 4oC to remove any remaining cellular debris. The plasma was immediately stored at –80oC until analysis.

Project description:Purpose: To explore myokines and signaling pathways in skeletal muscle dysfunction in a Cigarette Smoke-induced Model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Methods: Total RNA was extracted from the muscle tissues using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, USA) according to manual instruction. About 60 mg of tissues were ground into powder by liquid nitrogen in a 2 mL tube, followed by being homogenized for 2 minutes and rested horizontally for 5 minutes. The mix was centrifuged for 5 minutes at 12,000×g at 4°C, and then the supernatant was transferred into a new EP tube with 0.3 mL chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (24:1). The mix was shacked vigorously for 15s, and then centrifuged at 12,000×g for 10 minutes at 4°C. After centrifugation, the upper aqueous phase where RNA remained was transferred into a new tube with equal volume of supernatant of isopropyl alcohol, then centrifuged at 13,600 rpm for 20 minutes at 4°C. After deserting the supernatant, the RNA pellet was washed twice with 1 mL 75% ethanol, and then the mix was centrifuged at 13,600 rpm for 3 minutes at 4°C to collect residual ethanol, followed by the pellet air dry for 5-10 minutes in the biosafety cabinet. Finally, 25μL~100μL of DEPC-treated water was added to dissolve the RNA. Subsequently, total RNA was qualified and quantified using a Nano Drop and Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA). Results: The sequencing data were filtered with SOAPnuke (v1.5.2) (Li et al., 2008)by (1) Removing reads containing sequencing adapter; (2) Removing reads whose low-quality base ratio (base quality less than or equal to 5) was more than 20%; (3) Removing reads whose unknown base ('N' base) ratio was more than 5%, and afterwards clean reads were obtained and stored in FASTQ format. The clean reads were mapped to the reference genome using HISAT2 (v2.0.4)(Kim et al., 2015). Bowtie2 (v2.2.5)(Langmead and Salzberg, 2012) was applied to align the clean reads to the reference coding gene set，and then expression level of gene was calculated by RSEM (v1.2.12)(Li and Dewey, 2011). The heatmap was drawn by pheatmap (v1.0.8) according to the gene expression in different samples. Essentially, differential expression analysis was performed using the DESeq2(v1.4.5) with Q value ≤ 0.05. To take insight to the change of phenotype, GO (http://www.geneontology.org/) and KEGG (https://www.kegg.jp/) enrichment analysis of annotated different expressed gene was performed by Phyper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_distribution) based on Hypergeometric test. The significant levels of terms and pathways were corrected by Q value with a rigorous threshold (Q value ≤ 0.05) by Bonferroni. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of retinal transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.
