Project description:Ossification of the ligamentum flava (OLF) is a common spinal disorder among the elderly that causes myelopathy and radiculopathy. Although studies have identified several genes that correlated with OLF, the underlying regulation network is far from clear. To identify transcriptional regulators for OLF, we compared the circRNAs expression of the ligamentum flava tissues from OLF patients and healthy volunteers through microarray analysis, which revealed a panel of circRNAs that were specifically regulated in ligament tissues of human undergoing ossification. To identify transcriptional regulators for OLF, we compared the circRNAs expression of the ligamentum flava tissues from OLF patients and healthy volunteers through microarray analysis.

Although studies have identified several genes that correlated with OLF, the underlying regulation network is far from clear. To identify transcriptional regulators for OLF, we compared the microRNA expression of the ligamentum flava tissues from OLF patients and healthy volunteers through microRNA sequencing.

Although studies have identified several genes that correlated with OLF, the underlying regulation network is far from clear. To identify transcriptional regulators for OLF, we compared the lncRNAs and mRNAs expression of the ligamentum flava tissues from OLF patients and healthy volunteers through microarray analysis, which revealed a panel of lncRNAs and mRNAs that were specifically regulated in ligament tissues of human undergoing ossification.

Project description:In this study, we want to screen differentially expressed circRNAs in ALV-J-induced tumor chickens by circRNA-seq, and then conduct the mechanism research of those important circRNAs in ALV-J-induced tumor chickens
Project description:Background: Ischemic stroke is a disease with high rate of death and disability worldwide. This study investigated key circRNAs related to ischemic stroke. Methods: Three ischemic stroke patients and three healthy individuals were included in the current study to obtain the circRNA expression profiles by RNA sequencing. Through bioinformatic analysis, differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) were identified, and GO and pathway analyses for the host genes of DEcircRNAs were conducted. To further explore the functions of key circRNAs, a DEcircRNA-miRNA interaction network was constructed. Finally, the expression levels of selected circRNAs were validated with qRT-PCR. Results: A total of 736 DEcircRNAs were detected in ischemic stroke. Functional annotation of host genes of DEcircRNAs revealed several significantly enriched pathways, including Fc epsilon RI signaling pathway, B cell receptor signaling pathway, and T cell receptor signaling pathway. A circRNA-miRNA network, including 1544 circRNA-miRNA pairs, 456 circRNAs and 4 miRNAs, was obtained. The qRT-PCR results were largely in keeping with our RNA-seq data. Conclusion: The results of our study may help to elucidate the specific mechanism underlying ischemic stroke.
