Differential Expression Profiles and Function Predictions for tRFs & tiRNAs in Skin Injury Induced by Ultraviolet Irradiation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: to explore the function and mechanism of skin damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation. Method: Skin tRF & tiRNA profiles of mice normal skin and damage skin induced by Ultraviolet Irradiation (UV) were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina NextSeq 500. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results:Sequencing was used to screen expression profiles and predict target genes. Compared with normal skin, a total of 31 differentially expressed tRFs and tiRNAs were screened. Among these, 10 tRFs and tiRNAs were shown to be significantly different in expression levels, where there were 4 up-regulated and 6 down-regulated target genes.Altered expression of 4 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR, demonstrating the high degree of sensitivity of the RNA-seq method. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered several as yet uncharacterized genes that may contribute to skin repair after damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation. Conclusion: tRF-Trp-TCA-001 and tRF-Gly-CCC-019 plays an important role in acute skin injury induced by UVB radiation by regulating the ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) gene in the WNT signaling pathway. This study provides new insights into the mechanisms and therapeutic targets of UV-induced skin injury.
