High-throughput sequencing for lacrimal sacs from chronic dacryocystitis patients and normal controls

ABSTRACT: We report the application of whole transcriptome sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of lacrimal sacs from chronic dacryocystitis patients and normal controls. Differently expressed mRNAs and circRNAs were used for co-expression analysis. The expression levels of mRNAs and circRNAs in control and chronic dacryocystitis samples were validated by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Among all the 3909 circRNAs predicted from RNA sequencing data, 25 circRNAs (20 up regulated and 5 down-regulated) were differentially expressed in chronic dacryocystitis samples. Besides, 1486 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified. This study identified statistically significant differences between circRNAs and mRNAs of lacrimal sac samples of chronic dacryocystitis patients and control individuals. Of these differently expressed circRNAs and mRNAs, eight were validated by qRT-PCR, including MYH2, DSP, CD27, CCL5, FN1, has_circ_0004792, has_circ_0001062 and has_circ_0115476. This study suggested the differentially expressed circRNAs might participate in pathogenesis of chronic dacryocystitis, and it is therefore reasonable to consider circRNAs as potential therapeutic targets in treating chronic dacryocystitis patients.

Project description:Purpose: Identify the differentially expressed circular RNA (circRNA) and elucidate their potential function in AQP5 knockout (AQP5-/-) mice with primary dry eye phenotype. Methods: A slit lamp examination was performed on AQP5 knockout mice to assess corneal epithelial defect by fluorescein sodium staining. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscope analysis were performed to access the structure of lacrimal gland epithelial cells. The expression profiles of circRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) were determined by microarray analysis. The selected circRNA was verified by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were used to predict biological functions and potential pathways of parental genes involved in lacrimal gland epithelial cell changes. According to the bioinformatics analysis of identified circRNA, we can predict a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. Results: AQP5-/- mice exhibit spontaneous dry eye symptoms. AQP5 deficiency obviously changes the structure of lacrimal gland epithelial cells. Analysis showed that compared to AQP5+/+ mice, 30 circRNAs in the lacrimal glands of AQP5‑/- mice had differential expression (fold change ≥ 2.0, P < 0.05). Nine upregulated circRNAs were identified by qRT-PCR; nine upregulated validated circRNAs, 40 altered microRNAs (miRNAs), and nine upregulated mRNAs were involved in the network analysis. KEGG analysis showed these nine target genes were expressed in phagosomes. Conclusions: AQP5-/- mice have primary and stable dry eye phenotypes from birth. The study identified different expressed circRNAs in lacrimal glands between AQP5-/- and AQP5+/+ mice, predicting a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network of phagosomes. CircRNA likely plays an important role in lacrimal gland epithelial cell pathogenesis. Therefore, it is reasonable to use circRNA as a potential therapeutic target for dry eyes.

Project description:Purpose: Whole-transcriptome sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis were applied to systematically analyze the differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs and miRNAs in adipose stem cells (ASCs) from diabetic, old and young patients. Methods: MRNAs, lncRNAs and cirRNAs profiles of adipose stem cells were generated by RNA sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq X Ten . MiRNAs profiles of adipose stem cells were generated by RNA sequencing, in triplicate, using BGISEQ-500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level by using sequence analysis programs, including HISAT, Stringtie, CIRI, find_circ and DESeq. qRT–PCR validation was performed using Takara, Vazyme and Clontech kits. Results: The data showed that 1377 mRNAs, 5353 circRNAs, 932 lncRNAs and 85 miRNAs were significantly differently expressed in adipose stem cells from old patients compared with young patients, with a fold change ≥2 or ≤ -2 and q value <0.001. The data showed that 1878 mRNAs, 22988 circRNAs, 2638 lncRNAs and 122 miRNAs were significantly differently expressed (DE) in adipose stem cells from old patients compared with diabetic patients, with a fold change ≥2 or ≤ -2 and q value <0.001. The results of qRT-PCR confirmed 25 mRNAs, 9 lncRNAs, 8 circRNAs and 13 miRNAs which were consistent with the RNA-seq data. GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated DE mRNAs were significantly enriched in aging and cell senescence terms separately. Conclusion: Our group simultaneously examined the changing expression of miRNAs, mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in ASCs associated with diabetes and aging. GO and KEGG pathway analyses were conducted to annotate the possible function of the differentially expressed mRNAs. PPI networks were established in order to find critical protein genes highly involved in our disease models. The ceRNA networks including lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA and cirRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions were successfully constructed based on the bioinformatic analyses and PCR results. Thus, this study may contribute to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of ASCs instability and provide novel targets to reverse the dysfunction of ASCs isolated from diabetic and old patients.

Project description:Purpose: This study aimed to explore the differential expression profiles of exosomal lncRNAs and evaluated their potential utility in the accurate diagnosis of LAA stroke. Methods: LncRNA profiles of exosomes in large artery atherosclerosis stroke and controls were generated by high-throughput sequencing. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with Hisat2, Trapnell, STAR. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: A total of 1020 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in LAA stroke patients. GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that their target genes are involved in atherosclerosis-related pathways, including inflammation, cell adhesion, and cell migration. 8 exosomal lncRNAs were confirmed with qRT–PCR.The result showed that the expression trend of differential expressed lncRNAs in validation was consistent with RNA-seq.Conclusion: Our study showed the differential expression of lncRNAs in plasma exosomes and presented related diagnostic potential for LAA stroke for the first time. The results suggested that exosomal lncRNA could be potential diagnostic tools in LAA stroke. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), novel endogenous noncoding RNAs, play diverse roles in ischemic stroke. Recently, the abundance and stability of circRNAs in exosomes have been identified. However, a comprehensive analysis of exosomal circRNAs in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke has not yet been reported. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to comprehensively identify differentially expressed exosomal circRNAs in five paired LAA and normal controls. RNA-Seq identified a total of 462 circRNAs in peripheral exosomes; there were 25 differentially expressed circRNAs among them. Additionally, circRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and translatable analysis revealed the potential functions of the exosomal circRNAs in LAA progression. Two ceRNA pathways involving 5 circRNAs, 2 miRNAs, and 3 mRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. In the validation cohort, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis identified two circRNAs as possible novel biomarkers, and a logistic model combining two and four circRNAs increased the area under the curve compared with the individual circRNAs.
