Project description:BackgroundFerroptosis and long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced myocardial injury (DIMI). Nevertheless, there is no research to construct competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) network between lncRNAs and ferroptosis-related key gene. So our research was designed to screen ferroptosis-related genes from differentially expressed mRNAs in DIMI and construct lncRNAs regulated ferroptosis-related key gene ceRNAs network.MethodsThe male mice were injected with DOX intraperitoneally to induce myocardial injury, myocardial injury was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and ferroptosis-related protein-glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) protein expression was detected. The differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were detected by microarray, and the ferroptosis-related genes were screened to construct a protein-protein associations (PPA) network, the highest maximal clique centrality (MCC) score gene were identified by Cytoscape software, miRNAs bound to key genes and lncRNAs bound to miRNAs were predicted; then, the obtained lncRNAs were intersected with differentially expressed lncRNAs detected by microarray. Finally, the lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA ceRNA network of the highest MCC score gene regulating ferroptosis in DIMI was constructed. The expressions of the key components in ceRNA network were detected by qRT-PCR.ResultsCompared with the control group, in the DOX group, myocardial enzymes and HE staining showed that myocardium structure was changed, and GPx4 protein expression was decreased. The differentially expressed 10,265 lncRNAs and 6,610 mRNAs in the DOX group were detected via microarray. Among them, 114 ferroptosis-related genes were obtained to construct PPA networks, and Becn1 was identified as the key gene. Finally, the ceRNA network including Becn1, three miRNAs and four lncRNAs was constructed by predicting data of the Starbase database. The relative expressions of these components in ceRNA net were up-regulated and consistent with microarray results.ConclusionsBased on the microarray detection results and bioinformatics analysis, we screened ferroptosis-related gene Becn1 and constructed the lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA ceRNA network of regulated ferroptosis in DIMI.

Project description:Adiponectin (APN) is an endogenous adipokine secreted from adipocytes that exerts an anti-inflammation property. AdipoAI is an orally active adiponectin receptor agonist identified by our group, which can emulate APN's anti-inflammatory properties through mechanisms not fully understood. To explore AdipoAI function, we used lncRNA microarray and got differential lncRNA/mRNA expression medicated by AdipoAI. Identified as one kind of non-coding RNA with more than 200bp length, lncRNA has been demonstrated to have abundance biological functions, including anti-inflammatory response. In the current study, we performed an lncRNA microarray in LPS-induced Raw264.7 cells which pre-stimulated with AdipoAI, and screened 110 DElncRNAs and 190 DEmRNAs. Enrichment analyses were conducted to total mRNAs and DEmRNAs, including GSVA, ssGSEA, GO/KEGG, GSEA and PPI analysis. Among all these processes, endocytosis was significantly enriched. A co-expression analysis was built based on DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs. Then, using Targetscan and miRwalk to predict related microRNAs of DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs respectively, we established competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks including 54 mRNAs from 8 GO items. Furthermore, 33 m6A methylation related marker genes were obtained from previous study and used for the construction of m6A related-lncRNA network using the co-expression analysis. We identified FTO as the hub gene of the network, and 14 lncRNAs that interacted with it. The expression levels of 10 lncRNAs selected from ceRNA and FTO- related lncRNAs networks were validated with qRT-PCR. Finally, Macrophage phenotype scores showed that AdipoAI could attenuate the M2b and M2c polarization of macrophage and correlate with the above lncRNAs. Our work reveals that lncRNA might involve in the anti-inflammation process of AdipoAI in LPS-induced macrophages through ceRNA network and epigenetic regulation of m6A. Mechanistically, these lncRNAs associated with AdipoAI might be related to endocytosis and polarization in macrophage, and provide new candidates for the anti-inflammatory application of APN and its receptor agonist.

Project description:Background. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in the occurrence and development of diseases. However, the role of circRNAs in male smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. Methods. Stable COPD patients and healthy controls were recruited. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted. After high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of PBMCs, a bioinformatics method was used to analyse differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs). Results. Total of 114 DEcircRNAs and 58 DEmRNAs were identified. Functional enrichment analysis showed that processes related to COPD include the regulation of interleukin (IL)-18, IL-5 and the NLRP3 inflammasome; differentiation of T helper type 1 (Th1), Th2, and Th17 cells, and the AMPK, Wnt, JAK-STAT, and PI3K-Akt signalling pathways. In the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network, the core genes were MYO16, MYL4, SCN4A, NRCAM, HMCN1, MYOM2, and IQSEC3. Small-molecule prediction results revealed potential drugs for the COPD treatment. Additionally, the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network was constructed. Conclusion. This study identified a set of dysregulated circRNAs and mRNAs and revealed potentially important genes, pathways, new small-molecule drugs and ceRNA regulatory networks in male smokers with COPD. These circRNAs might be prospective biomarkers or potential molecular targets of the ceRNA mechanism for COPD.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is characterized by an aggressive clinical course. In approximately one-third of DLBCL patients, first-line multi-agent immunochemotherapy fails to produce a durable response. Molecular heterogeneity and apoptosis resistance pose major therapeutic challenges in DLBCL treatment. To circumvent apoptosis resistance, the induction of ferroptosis might represent a promising strategy for lymphoma therapy. Here, a compound library targeting epigenetic modulators was screened to identify ferroptosis-sensitizing drugs. Strikingly, bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) inhibitors sensitized cells of the germinal center B cell-like (GCB) subtype of DLBCL to ferroptosis induction and the combination of BET inhibitors with ferroptosis inducers, such as dimethyl fumarate (DMF) or RSL3, synergized in the killing of DLBCL cells in vitro and in vivo. On the molecular level, the BET protein BRD4 was found to be an essential regulator of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) expression and to thus protect GCB DLBCL cells from ferroptosis. Collectively, we identified and characterized BRD4 as an important player in ferroptosis suppression in GCB DLBCL and provide a rationale for the combination of BET inhibitors with ferroptosis-inducing agents as a novel therapeutic approach for DLBCL treatment.

Project description:The heart suffers from a severe loss of cardiomyocyte after myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is not known which type of cell death is the major contributor of the loss of cardiomyocytes. By studying a mouse heart MI model at a regenerative and a non-regenerative stage, we demonstrate that ferroptosis, not apoptosis or necroptosis, is the major contributor to cardiomyocyte death starting at 1 day-post-MI. Intrinsic Pitx2 signaling in cardiomyocyte prevents ferroptosis. Meanwhile, cardiac fibroblasts expressing high level of Fth1 interact with cardiomyocytes to share the iron burden, therefore inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Cardiomyocyte Pitx2 also inhibits Tsp1 expression, therefore negatively regulate fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation to limit fibrosis.

Project description:Smooth muscle cell (SMC) loss is the characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of aortic dissection (AD), and ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by the excessive lipid peroxidation accumula_x0002_tion. However, whether targeting ferroptosis is an effective approach for SMC loss and AD treatment remains unclear. Here, we found that the iron level, ferroptosis-related molecules TFR, HOMX1, ferritin and the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal were increased in the aorta of AD. Then, we screened several inhibitors of histone methyltransferases and found that BRD4770 had a protective effect on cystine deprivation-, imidazole ketone erastin- or RSL3-induced ferroptosis of SMCs. The classic ferroptosis pathways, System Xc--GPX4, FSP1- CoQ10 and GCH1-BH4 pathways which were inhibited by ferroptosis inducers, were re-activated by BRD4770 via inhibiting mono-, di- and tri- methylated histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me1/2/3). RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that there was a positive feedback regulation between ferroptosis and inflammatory response, and BRD4770 can reverse the effects of inflammation activation on ferroptosis. More importantly, treatment with BRD4770 attenuated aortic dilation and decreased morbidity and mortality in a β-Aminopropionitrile monofumarate-induced mouse AD model via inhibiting the inflammatory response, lipid peroxidation and fer_x0002_roptosis. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that ferroptosis is a novel and critical pathological mechanism that is involved in SMC loss and AD development. BRD4770 is a novel ferroptosis inhibitor and has equivalent protective effect to Ferrostatin-1 at the optimal concentration. Translating insights into the anti-ferroptosis ef_x0002_fects of BRD4770 may reveal a potential therapeutic approach for targeting SMC ferroptosis in AD.

Project description:Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common disease that induced by sudden occlusion of a coronary artery and myocardial necrosis, which causes a great medical burden worldwide. Noncoding RNAs, such as circRNA, lncRNA and miRNA, play crucial roles in the progression of cardiovascular diseases. However, the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in the occurrence and development of AMI needs further investigation. In this study, we downloaded three AMI datasets, including circRNA (GSE160717), miRNA (GSE24591), and mRNA (GSE66360) from GEO database. The differentially expressed candidates, and GO and KEGG functions were analyzed by RStudio, and subsequently import to PPI and Cytoscape to obtain the hub genes. By using the starbase target prediction database, we further screen the ceRNA network of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA based on the selected differentially expressed candidates. We found 46 differential expressed mRNAs, 65 miRNAs, and five circRNAs. GO functions and KEGG enrichment of the 46 mRNAs focused on immune response and functions, involving IL-17 signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, TNF signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, and NF-kappaB signaling pathway, which may aggravate the pathologies of AMI. PPI and Cytoscape analysis showed 10 hub genes, including TLR2, IL1B, CCL4, CCL3, CCR5, TREM1, CXCL2, NLRP3, CSF3, and CCL20. By using starbase and circinteractome databases, ceRNA network construction showed that circRNA_023461 and circRNA_400027 regulate several miRNA-mRNA axes in AMI. In summary, this study uncovered the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on three AMI datasets. The differentially expressed genes, including CCL20, CCL4, CSF3, and IL1B, focus on immune functions and pathways. Furthermore, circRNA_023461 and circRNA_400027 regulate several miRNA-mRNA axes, exerting important roles in AMI progression. Our founding provides new insights into AMI and improve the therapeutic strategies for AMI.

Project description:Expression changes of competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have been proposed to influence microRNA (miRNA) activity and thereby regulate other transcripts that contain miRNA binding sites. Here, we find that although miRNA levels define the extent of repression, they do not affect the magnitude of the ceRNA expression change required to observe derepression. Canonical 6-nt sites, which typically mediate modest repression, can nonetheless compete for miRNA binding, with potency ~20% of that observed for canonical 8-nt sites. Sites with extensive additional complementarity can be even more potent, but this occurs predominantly through miRNA degradation rather than competition. Cooperative binding of closely spaced sites for different miRNAs can also increase potency. These results provide quantitative insights into the stoichiometric relationship between miRNA and target abundance, target-site spacing and affinity requirements for ceRNA-mediated gene regulation and specify the unusual circumstances in which ceRNA-mediated gene regulation might be observed. Sixty-four mRNA profiles were generated of 1) primary hepatocytes of mice expressing variable levels of a recombinant Adenovirus expressing the transcript of AldolaseA (Ad-AldoA), containing sites matching miR-122, let-7, miR-192, miR-194 or a mutated site (no site) or 2) embryonic stem (ES) cells that were transfected with a Tet-inducible dual-color reporter construct expressing enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (eYFP) and mCherry that contains zero (0s) or three (3s) 8 nt miRNA seed matches for miR-293 or miR-92 in the 3� UTR. ES cells were sorted with a FACSAria IIIu flow cytometer into three bins based on their eYFP fluorescence intensity. All samples were sequenced in duplicates by an Illumina HiSeq 2500. Library preparation and sequencing were performed by Fasteris SA (Switzerland) or by the Functional Genomics Centre Zürich (FGCZ). Three small RNA profiles or either primary hepatocytes or embryonic stem cells were also generated by Solexa sequencing.
