Project description:Keloid is a dermal fibroproliferative disease with various etiologies and unclear pathogenesis. Recent studies have revealed that circular RNAs (circRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exerted regulatory functions through a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) pathway in keloid progression. However, the expression profiles of circRNAs and lncRNAs in keloid dermal tissues (KDTs) remain unknown. This study aimed to identify differentially expressed circRNAs, lncRNAs and genes in KDTs.

Project description:Cross-talk between competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) may play a critical role in revealing potential mechanisms of tumor development and physiology. Glioblastoma is the most common type of malignant primary brain tumor, and the mechanisms of tumor genesis and development in glioblastoma are unclear. Here, to investigate the role of non-coding RNAs and the ceRNA network in glioblastoma, we performed paired-end RNA sequencing and microarray analyses to obtain the expression profiles of mRNAs, lncRNAs circRNAs and miRNAs. We identified that the expression of 501 lncRNAs, 1789 mRNAs, 2038 circRNAs and 143 miRNAs were often altered between glioblastoma and matched normal brain tissue. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed on these differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNA-mediated target genes of lncRNAs and circRNAs. Furthermore, we used a multi-step computational framework and several bioinformatics methods to construct a ceRNA network combining mRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNA, based on co-expression analysis between the differentially expressed RNAs. We identified that plenty of lncRNAs, CircRNAs and their downstream target genes in the ceRNA network are related to glutamatergic synapse, suggesting that glutamate metabolism is involved in glioma biological functions. Our results will accelerate the understanding of tumorigenesis, cancer progression and even therapeutic targeting in glioblastoma. We hope to inspire researchers to study the role of non-coding RNAs in glioblastoma.

Project description:Purpose: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is immune-mediated primary glomerulonephritis, which is the most common reason leading to renal failure worldwide, the exact pathogenesis of IgAN is not well defined. Accumulating evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial roles in the immune disease by involving in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network mechanism. At present, the studies of the circRNA profiles and circRNA-associated ceRNA networks in the IgAN are still scarce. This study aimed to elucidate the potential roles of circRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA) ceRNA network in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of IgAN. Methods: CircRNA sequencing was used to identify the differential expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) of PBMCs in IgAN and healthy controls. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed to further investigate the mechanisms of IgAN. Results: A total of 145 circRNAs were differentially expressed in IgAN compared with controls (|log2 (FC)|>1 and P-value <0.05). Combined with the data from GSE73953 and GSE25590 in GEO database, a ceRNA network was constructed which contained 16 DEcircRNAs, 72 differential expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and 11 differential expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs). Conclusion: Our study identified a novel circRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory network mechanisms in the pathogenesis of IgAN.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) immunotherapy exhibits limited efficacy, prompting the investigation of its molecular mechanisms. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are believed to play a significant role in the development of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in ESCC, but their role in ceRNA regulation remains indeterminate. In this study, we identified the expression of mRNA, circRNA in four tumor samples and their pair normal samples noting their paired samples by high-throughput sequencing to validate the correlation analysis.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Emerging long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be associated with progression of various cancers. In the current study, we identified a novel lncRNA-TTN-AS1 and dissected the underlying mechanisms by which lncRNA-TTN-AS1 induced carcinogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS: ESCC and adjacent non-malignant specimens from 7 ESCC patients were chosen to analyze the expression profiles of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA using multiple microarrays. The novel lncRNA-TTN-AS1 was identified using multiple bioinformatics platforms. Levels of lncRNA-TTN-AS1 in tissues from 148 ESCC patients were verified by qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization. The biological function and mechanism of action of lncRNA-TTN-AS1 were performed both in vivo and in vitro using gain-of and loss-of function assays on TE-13 cells and KYSE-410 cells, luciferase reporter assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays and RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS: lncRNA-TTN-AS1 levels were upregulated in ESCC tissues compared with adjacent non-malignant tissues, and correlated with poor prognosis. LncRNA-TTN-AS1, as an oncogene, promoted ESCC cell proliferation and prevented apoptosis. Additionally, lncRNA-TTN-AS1 increased snail1 levels by competitively binding to miR-133b, thereby facilitating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) cascades. Sharing miR-133b binding sites, lncRNA-TTN-AS1 as a ceRNA also derepressed FSCN1 mediated by miR-133b. Notably, lncRNA-TTN-AS1 stabilized FSCN1 mRNA by interacting directly with the mRNA stabilizing protein HuR, resulting in ESCC invasion-cascades and activation of FSCN1/β-catenin. CONCLUSION: lncRNA-TTN-AS1 sponges miR-133b to govern the expression of snial1 and FSCN1, which promotes ESCC cell proliferation and metastasis. It also combines with HuR to modulate FSCN1 in ESCC cell lines. Our findings may provide a novel target for ESCC anti-metastatic therapies.

Project description:The metabolic syndrome (MetS), a collective cluster of disease risk factors that includes dyslipidemia, obesity, inflammation, hypertension, and insulin resistance, affects numerous people worldwide. Accumulating studies have shown that long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) serve as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to play essential roles in regulating gene expression in various diseases. To explore the role of lncRNAs as ceRNAs in MetS, we examined a MetS-associated network in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) collected from systemic blood of MetS and control patients (n=5 each). MetS patients showed elevated body-weight, glucose, blood pressure, insulin, liver injury and inflammatory markers levels. In total, 191 differentially-expressed (DE) lncRNAs, 1389 mRNAs, and 138 miRNAs were selected for further analysis. Biological processes and pathway functional enrichment analysis were performed based on the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) database. LncRNA/mRNA/miRNA ceRNA network was constructed by Cytoscape v3.8 based on the DE-RNAs, and included 13 lncRNAs, 8 miRNAs, and 64 mRNAs. We found that the lncRNA-associated ceRNA network members potentially serve as regulators of central cellular processes and complications of MetS, including cancer. These findings suggest that MetS alters the interactions among the ceRNA network components in circulating EV-specific ceRNA network, and implicate the cargo of circulating EVs in ramifications of MetS.

Project description:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heritable cardiomyopath that caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere. Although multiple efforts have been made to understand the pathogenesis of HCM, the mechanisms of how long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network result in HCM still unkown. Herein, we acquired the different expression profiles of lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNA, DEGs) by using microarray, microRNAs (DEmiRNAs) by sequencing in plasma of HCM patients and healthy controls. LncRNA-miRNA pairs were predicted using miRcode and starBase, and crossed with DEmiRNAs. MiRNA-mRNA pairs were retrieved from miRanda and TargetScan, and crossed with DEGs. Combined these pairs, the ceRNA network was constructed and hub nodes were then analyzed to reconstruct subnetwork. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathways were used to analyse the mRNAs in the ceRNA. Total 520 DElncRNAs, 33 DEmiRNAs, and 371 DEGs were identified. By coexpression analysis, 682 lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified with a coefficient ≥ 0.9 and p < 0.05. The ceRNA network with 8 lncRNAs, 3 miRNAs and 22 mRNAs was constructed visualized by Cytoscape. LncRNA RP11-66N24.4 and LINC00310 are among the top 10% nodes and the associated ceRNA subnetwork may be the center of the whole ceRNA network. Furthermore, the qRT-PCR results showed that LINC00310 was signifcantly decreased in HCM patients. For LINC00310, GO analysis revealed that the biological processes was enriched in cardiovascular system development, sprouting angiogenesis, circulatory system development and so on, and Pathway analysis was mainly enriched in cGMP-PKG signaling pathway. Our study reveals the novel lncRNA-related ceRNA network in HCM and the identified lncRNA LINC00310 may be roles in the pathogenesis mechanisms of HCM, which could provide further insight into the pathogenesis of HCM.
