Transcriptome sequencing analysis of lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in bone nonunion
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background: Bone nonunion is a serious complication of fracture. This study explored the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) and mRNAs (DEGs) and identified potential lncRNA-mRNA interactions in bone nonunion. Methods: We extracted total RNA from three bone nonunion and three bone union patient tissue samples. RNA sequencing was performed to detect DELs and DEGs between bone nonunion and union tissue samples. The lncRNAs and genes with absolute log2-fold change (log2FC) > 1 and adjusted p value < 0.05 were further chosen for gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. lncRNA and targeted mRNA interaction networks were constructed. Results: We observed 179 DELs and 415 DEGs between the bone nonunion and union tissue samples. GO analysis indicated that DELs and DEGs were mainly enriched in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process. DELs and DEGs were enriched in 'ECM-receptor interaction' and 'Staphylococcus aureus infection' KEGG pathways. Several potential lncRNA-mRNA interactions were also predicted. Conclusions: This study identified bone nonunion-associated lncRNAs and mRNAs using deep sequencing that may be useful as potential biomarkers for bone nonunion.
