Transcriptome-wide Analysis of Intracranial Artery in Patients with Moyamoya Disease Showing Up-regulation of Immune Response, and Down-regulation of Oxidative Phosphorylation and DNA Repair

ABSTRACT: Micro-samples of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) were collected from patients with MMD (n=11) and those with control (n=9). Using microarray techniques, transcriptome-wide analysis was performed. Comparison of the MCA gene expression between patients with MMD and control detected 62 and 26 genes whose expression was significantly (P<0.001, fold change>2) up- or down-regulated in the MCA of MMD. Gene set enrichment analysis of genes expressed in the MCA of MMD revealed positive correlations with genes involved in antigen processing and presentation, dendric cells pathway, cytokine pathway, and interleukin 12 pathway, whereas negative correlations with genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and DNA repair. In addition, quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed decreased gene expressions of tetraspanin 2 and ras homolog family member Q in MCA of MMD (P<0.05).

Project description:We aim to investigate circulating genome-wide microRNA (miRome) profiles in Moyamoya disease (MMD)-discordant monozygotic (MZ) twins with the RNF213 founder mutation (rs112735431).A disease discordant monozygotic twin-based study design may unmask potential confounders from previously published circulating microRNA signature in MMD. Circulating genome-wide microRNA (miRNome) profiling was performed in MMD-discordant monozygotic twins, non-twin-MMD patients, and non-MMD healthy volunteers by microarray followed by qPCRvalidation, using blood samples. Differential plasma-microRNAs were further quantified in endothelial cells differentiated from iPS cell lines (iPSECs) derived from another independent non-twin cohort. Lastly, their target gene expression in the iPSECs was analyzed. Microarray detected 309 plasma-microRNAs in MMD-discordant monozygotic twins that were also detected in the non-twin cohort. Principal component analysis of the plasma-microRNA expression level demonstrated distinct 2 groups separated by MMD and healthy control in the twin- and non-twin cohorts. Of these, differential up-regulations of hsa-miR-6722-3p/-328-3p were validated in the plasma of MMD (Imposed threshold: absolute log2 expression fold change (logFC) > 0.26 for the twin cohort; absolute logFC > 0.26, p < 0.05, and q < 0.15 for the non-twin cohort). In MMD derived iPSECs, hsa-miR-6722-3p/-328-3p showed a trend of up-regulation with a 3.0- or higher expression fold change. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that 41 target genes of miR- 6722-3p/-328-3p were significantly down-regulated in MMD derived iPSECs and were involved in STAT3, IGF-1-, and PTEN-signaling, suggesting a potential microRNA- gene expression interaction between circulating plasma and endothelial cells. In conclusion, our MMD-discordant monozygotic twin-based study confirmed a novel circulating microRNA signature in MMD as a potential diagnostic biomarker minimally confounded by genetic heterogeneity. The novel circulating microRNA signature can contribute for the future functional microRNA analysis to find new diagnostic and therapeutic target of MMD.
