Project description:Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis and development of human diseases, such as epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In this study, we identified EOC-related lncRNAs and performed lncRNA and mRNA microarray analyses using IOSE80, a normal ovary cell line, and two ovarian carcinoma cell lines (SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP) to investigate the potential roles of lncRNAs in EOC. lncRNA-HEIH expression in EOC tissues and cell lines was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In addition, we generated a lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network in order to identify lncRNA-expression trends and potential lncRNA target genes. Cell viability, migration, and invasion were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8, transwell assay, and wound-healing assay, respectively, and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. We identified 3527 differentially expressed lncRNAs upon comparison of the lncRNA profiles from IOSE80 with those of SKOV3 cell lines, with 11 differentially expressed lncRNAs confirmed by qPCR. Both pathway and gene ontology analyses demonstrated the involvement of lncRNAs, especially HEIH and LINC-PINT, in multiple biological processes. Furthermore, in vitro knockdown experiments confirmed that suppression of HEIH expression inhibited EOC cell proliferation. Our findings provide a foundation for further research into the role of these lncRNAs in EOC carcinogenesis and progression.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in cellular homeostasis. However, little is known about their effect in developing rat brains with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). To explore the expression and function of lncRNA in HIBD, we analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNAs in hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brains and sham control using microarray analysis. The results showed a remarkable difference in lncRNA between HI and sham brains. A total of 322 lncRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in HI brains, compared to sham control. Among these, BC088414 was one of the most significantly urpregulated lncRNAs. In addition, 375 coding genes were differentially expressed between HI brains and sham control. Pathway and gene ontology analysis indicated that the upregulated coding genes mostly involved in wounding, inflammation and defense, whereas the downregulated transcripts were largely associated with neurogenesis and repair. Moreover, coding non-coding co-expression network analysis showed that the BC088414 lncRNA expression was correlated with apoptosis-related genes, including Casp6 and Adrb2. Silencing of lncRNA BC088414 in PC12 cells caused reduced mRNA level of Casp6 and Adrb2, decreased cell apoptosis and increased cell proliferation. These results suggested lncRNA might participate in the pathogenesis of HIBD via regulating coding genes.

Project description:LncRNAs, which represent one of the most highly expressed classes of ncRNAs in the brain, are becoming increasingly interesting with regard to brain functions and disorders. However, changes in the expression of regulatory lncRNAs in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) have not yet been reported. Using microarrays, we profiled the expression of 34834 lncRNAs and 39224 mRNAs in peripheral blood sampled from MDD patients as well as demographically-matched controls. Among these, we found that 2007 lncRNAs and 1667 mRNAs were differentially expressed, 17 of which were documented as depression-related gene in previous studies. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses indicated that the biological functions of differentially expressed mRNAs were related to fundamental metabolic processes and neurodevelopment diseases. To investigate the potential regulatory roles of the differentially expressed lncRNAs on the mRNAs, we also constructed co-expression networks composed of the lncRNAs and mRNAs, which shows significant correlated patterns of expression. In the MDD-derived network, there were a greater number of nodes and connections than that in the control-derived network. The lncRNAs located at chr10:874695-874794, chr10:75873456-75873642, and chr3:47048304-47048512 may be important factors regulating the expression of mRNAs as they have previously been reported associations with MDD. This study is the first to explore genome-wide lncRNA expression and co-expression with mRNA patterns in MDD using microarray technology. We identified circulating lncRNAs that are aberrantly expressed in MDD and the results suggest that lncRNAs may contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of MDD.

Project description:Venous congestion and volume overload are important in cardiorenal syndromes, in which multiple regulated factors are involved, including long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs). To investigate the underlying role of lncRNAs in regulating the development of venous congestion, an Affymetrix microarray associated with peripheral venous congestion was annotated, then a bipartite dynamic lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network was constructed in which nodes indicated lncRNAs or mRNAs. The nodes were connected when the lncRNAs or mRNAs were dynamically co‑expressed. Following functional analysis of this network, several dynamic alternative pathways were identified, including the calcium signaling pathway during venous congestion development. Additionally, certain lncRNAs (LINC00523, LINC01210 and RP11-435O5.5) were identified that may potentially dynamically regulate certain proteins, including plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) and G protein‑coupled receptor (GPCR), in the calcium signaling pathway. Particularly, the dynamically regulated switch of LINC00523 from co‑expression with PMCA to GPCR may be involved in damage to steady state intracellular calcium. In brief, the current study demonstrated a potential novel mechanism of lncRNA function during venous congestion.

Project description:IntroductionCervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer deaths in females in developing countries. Recent studies showed that long non-coding RNAs play a key role in human cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of cervical cancer remained to be further explored.Material and methodsIn this study, we explored the differential expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs in cervical cancer progression by analyzing the public dataset GSE63514. Next, PPI and co-expression networks were constructed to reveal the potential roles of cervical cancer related mRNAs and lncRNAs. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis was performed to explore functions of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in cervical cancer.ResultsIn the present study, we observed that 3021 mRNAs were up-regulated and 1605 mRNAs were down-regulated in cervical cancer progression. Meanwhile, we for the first time found that 172 lncRNAs were up-regulated and 106 lncRNAs were down-regulated in cervical cancer progression. Co-expression network analysis showed that lncRNAs were widely co-expressed with cell cycle related genes in cervical cancer, implicating the important roles of these lncRNAs in cell proliferation regulation. Of note, we identified two hub lncRNA-mRNA networks involved in regulating various biological processes in cervical cancer progression.ConclusionsOur results identified key mRNAs and lncRNAs in cervical cancer progression. This study will provide novel insights to explore the potential mechanisms underlying cervical cancer progression.

Project description:The pretreatment karyotype of leukemic blasts is currently the key determinant in therapy decision-making in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, approximately fifty percent of AML patients, often carrying a normal karyotype, are currently unclassifiable based these established methods. Gene expression profiling has proven to be valuable for risk stratification of AML. This is a repository of 662 adult AML cases characterized on gene expression microarrays and used for different studies investigating the mechanisms underlying leukemogenesis. Bone marrow aspirates or peripheral blood samples of three independent representative cohorts of de novo AML patients, comprising 277, 256 and 129 cases respectively, were collected at diagnosis. Gene expression profiling was performed on 662 adult AML patients who have been treated according to Dutch-Belgian Hemato-Oncology Cooperative Group and the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (HOVON/SAKK) AML-04, -04A, -29, -32, -42, -42A, -43 and -92 protocols (available at http://www.hovon.nl). All patients provided written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study was approved by all participating institutional review boards. Blast cell purification and RNA isolation were performed as previously described (Valk et al., Prognostically Useful Gene-Expression Profiles in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, New England Journal of Medicine, 2004).

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key gene regulators in the pathogenesis and development of various cancers including B lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). In this pilot study, we used RNA-Seq transcriptomic data for identifying novel lncRNA-mRNA cooperative pairs involved in childhood B-ALL pathogenesis. We conceived a bioinformatic pipeline based on unsupervised PCA feature extraction approach and stringent statistical criteria to extract potential childhood B-ALL lncRNA signatures. We then constructed a co-expression network of the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs (30) and protein-coding genes (754). We cross-validated our in-silico findings on an independent dataset and assessed the expression levels of the most differentially expressed lncRNAs and their co-expressed mRNAs through ex vivo experiments. Using the guilt-by-association approach, we predicted lncRNA functions based on their perfectly co-expressed mRNAs (Spearman's correlation) that resulted closely disease-associated. We shed light on 24 key lncRNAs and their co-expressed mRNAs which may play an important role in B-ALL pathogenesis. Our results may be of clinical utility for diagnostic and/or prognostic purposes in paediatric B-ALL management.

Project description:Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is serious disorder in the central nervous system common in aged patients after anesthesia. Although its clinical symptoms are well recognized, however, the molecular etiology of the POCD remains unrevealed. Similarly, neither gold standard molecular diagnosis nor effective treatment is available for POCD until the present. Therefore, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of this disorder through investigating lncRNAs and mRNAs associated with POCD human patients and investigate their underlying regulatory pathways. In this study, we recruited 200 patients requiring hip or knee replacement surgery. Their neurological functions were assessed at two time points, 1 day before the surgery and 30 days post-surgery. In parallel, serum samples were collected from the participants to analyze lncRNAs and mRNAs differential expression profile between POCD and non-POCD patients using microarray analysis. To further investigate the role differentially expressed mRNA and lncRNAs, Gene Ontology (GO), pathway analyses on mRNAs and lncRNA-mRNA interaction network were performed. As a result, 68 lncRNAs and 115 mRNAs were dysregulated in the POCD group compared to non-POCD group. Among them, the top 10 upregulated lncRNAs and 10 downregulated lncRNAs were listed for enrichment analysis. Interestingly, we found that these lncRNA and mRNA are involved in biological process, molecular function, and cellular component in addition to various signaling pathways, suggesting that the pathogenesis of POCD involves lncRNAs and mRNAs differential expression. Consequently, the genetic dysregulation between the non-POCD and POCD patients participates in the occurrence and development of POCD, and could be served as diagnostic biomarkers and drug targets for POCD treatment.

Project description:Aim: Heart failure (HF) is the end stage of various cardiovascular diseases. However, the precise regulation of gene expression profiles and functional mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in HF remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to identify the differentially expressed profiles and interaction of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and lncRNAs in pressure overload-induced HF. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the HF group and the sham-operated group. HF was induced by the transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery. The cardiac expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs in HF were investigated using the microarray. Bioinformatics analyses and co-expression network construction were performed from the RNA sequencing data. Results: The expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs showed significant differences between HF and controls. A total of 147 mRNAs and 162 lncRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed with a fold change of >2 in HF. The relative expression levels of several selected mRNAs and lncRNAs were validated by quantitative PCR. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses indicated that diverse pathways were involved in the molecular mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy and HF including immune response, smooth muscle contraction, ion transmembrane transport. The mRNA-lncRNA and transcription factors (TFs)-lncRNA co-expression networks were constructed and several genes and TFs were identified as key regulators in the pathogenesis of HF. Further functional prediction showed that the lncRNA NONRATT013999 was predicted to cis-regulate mRNA CDH11, and NONRATT027756 was predicted to trans-regulate HCN4. Conclusion: This study revealed specific expression regulation and potential functions of mRNAs and lncRNAs in pressure overload-induced HF. These results will provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for HF.
