Long noncoding RNAs in traumatic brain injury accelerated fracture healing
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: It is commonly observed that patients with bone fracture concomitated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) had significantly increased fracture healing while the underlying mechanisms were not fully revealed. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were known for paly complicated roles in bone homeostasis while its role in TBI accelerated fracture were rarely reported. The present study was designed to determine the role of lncRNAs in TBI accelerated fracture via transcriptome sequencing and further bioinformatical analysis. Blood samples from 3 fracture only patients, 3 fracture concomitated with TIB patients and 3 healthy controls were harvested and were subsequently subjected to transcriptome lncRNAs sequencing. Differentially expression genes were identified, and pathway enrichment were performed by Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyze. High high-dimensional data portraying by self-organizing map (SOM) machine learning was applied to further interpret the data. A xCell method were then used to predict cellular behavior in all samples based on gene expression profiles and a lncRNA-cell interaction network were generated. A total of 874 differentially expressed genes were identified, of which about 26% were lncRNAs. Those identified lncRNAs were mainly enriched on traumatic brain injury related- and damage repair related-pathways. SOM analyzes revealed that those differentially expressed lncRNAs could be divided into three major module implications and were mainly enriched on transcriptional regulation and immune related signal pathways, which promote us to further explore cellular behaviors based on differentially expressed lncRNAs. We have predicted that basophils, CD8+ T effector memory cells, B cells, and naïve B cells were significantly down-regulated while microvascular endothelia cells were predicated significantly up-regulated with TBI/Fr group was the lowest or highest, respectively. ENSG00000278905, ENSG00000240980, ENSG00000255670, and ENSG00000196634 were the most differentially expression lcnRNA that related to all changes of cellular behavior. The present study has revealed for the first time that several critical lncRNAs may participate in TBI accelerated fracture potentially via regulating cellular behaviors of basophils, cytotoxic T cells, B cells and endothelia cells.
