Project description:Morphine tolerance is a tricky problem, the mechanism of it is still unclear. Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) play important roles in biological process of central nervous system. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) as a key post-transcriptional modification of RNA can regulate the metabolism and functions of circRNAs. Here we conducted this research to explore the patterns of m6A-methylation of circRNAs in the spinal cords of 4 morphine tolerated rats and 4 normal rats.

Project description:Morphine tolerance developed after repeated or continuous morphine treatment is a global health concern hindering the control of chronic pain. In our previous research, we have reported that the expression of lncRNAs and microRNAs have been greatly modified in the spinal cord of morphine tolerated rats, and the modulating role of miR-873a-5p, miR-219-5p and miR-365 have already been confirmed. However, whether circular RNAs, another essential kind of non-coding RNA, are involved in the pathogenesis of morphine tolerance is still beyond our knowledge. In this study, we conducted microarray analysis for circRNA profile and found a large number of circRNAs changed greatly in the spinal cord by morphine treatment. Among them, we selected nine circRNAs for validation, and seven circRNAs are confirmed. Gene Ontology/Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (GO/KEGG) analysis were used for functional annotation. Besides, we confirmed the modified expression of seven circRNAs after validation by real-time PCR, selected 3 most prominently modulated ones among them and predicted their downstream miRNA-mRNA network and analyzed their putative function via circRNA-miRNA-mRNA pathway. Finally, we enrolled the differentially expressed mRNAs derived from the identical spinal cord, these validated circRNAs and their putative miRNA targets for ceRNA analysis and screened a promising circRNA-miRNA-mRNA pathway in the development of morphine tolerance. This study, for the first time, provided valuable information on circRNA profile and gave clues for further study on the circRNA mechanism of morphine tolerance.

Project description:The mechanism of morphine tolerance remains unclear, and lncRNA have been promising molecule in many pathophysiological processes. However, the role of lncRNA on morphine tolerance hasn’t been explored yet. So we explore this issue, and our results indicated that the expression profiles of lncRNAs have changed in morphine tolerance rats as compared with normal rats, and among those, some differentially expressed lncRNAs might be new therapeutic targets for morphine tolerance.

Project description:Morphine and other opioids continue to be commonly utilized as clinical analgesics, despite their numerous adverse side effects, including respiratory depression, addiction, and tolerance. The modulation of µ-opioid receptor (MOR) signaling and subsequent behavioral output is one viable approach to improve opioid therapy. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone protein that has recently been implicated in downstream MOR signaling within the brain in mice. Here we identify a context-dependent impact on MOR signaling in which the inhibition of Hsp90 within the spinal cord promotes morphine induced anti-nociception. We show that intrathecal and not systemic administration of the Hsp90 inhibitors 17-AAG or KU-32 amplifies morphine-induced anti-nociception in both thermal and mechanical pain models. Further, we demonstrate that the inhibition of Hsp90 allows for ERK phosphorylation after opioid treatment. ERK activation was localized within the dorsal horns of the spinal cord, which are heavily populated with primary afferents responsible for nociception. The behavioral effects observed with Hsp90 inhibitors were abolished upon intrathecal U0126 (ERK inhibitor) and cycloheximide (translation inhibitor) treatment, suggesting that downstream ERK phosphorylation and rapid protein translation are responsible for the observed amplification of anti-nociception. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified upregulated RSK with spinal cord Hsp90 inhibition, which we further found was necessary for the observed enhancement of anti-nociception. Taken together, we have uncovered a novel downstream MOR ERK/RSK cascade, localized to the spinal cord and repressed by Hsp90, whose modulation may allow for enhanced efficacy and decreased side effects during opioid therapy.

Project description:Injured axons in the CNS do not spontaneously regenerate leading to paralysis. Neurons can transport RNA and ribosomes to the site of injury where de novo translation has been known to occur, facilitating repair. Yet the tools available for studying axonal specific RNA are limited. We came up with a simple modification using Cold Active Proteases that enabled us to enrich for axonal RNA from rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) compared to non-injured. Our enriched axonal prep was then analyzed by bulk RNA-seq, where we looked at total RNA and we found differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Analyzing our bulk RNA-seq by Gene Ontology, we found the second most significant pathway for all DEGs was for axonogenesis, with markedly low glial cell contamination. From our DEGs we detected Rims2, which is reported to be predominately a circular RNA (circRNA) in the rodent CNS. Upon further annotation, we found over 200 putative circRNAs. circRNAs are abundant and well conserved in the brain, they are thought to be transcriptional regulators by functioning as microRNA (miR) sponges or binding to RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). By computational analysis using Circular RNA Interactome, we are able to predict which miRs or RBPs could bind to circRims2.

Project description:Covalently closed circular RNA molecules (circRNAs) have recently emerged as a class of RNA isoforms with widespread and tissue specific expression across animals, oftentimes independent of the corresponding linear mRNAs. circRNAs are remarkably stable and sometimes highly expressed molecules. Here, we sequenced RNA in human peripheral whole blood to determine the potential of circRNAs as biomarkers in an easily accessible body fluid. We report the reproducible detection of thousands of circRNAs. Importantly, we observed that hundreds of circRNAs are much higher expressed than corresponding linear mRNAs. Thus, circRNA expression in human blood reveals and quantifies the activity of hundreds of coding genes not accessible by classical mRNA specific assays. Our findings suggest that circRNAs could be used as biomarker molecules in standard clinical blood samples. Sequencing of blood RNA from five healthy individuals (biological replicates) plus technical replicate of one sample and detection of circRNAs.

Project description:A great number of studies have investigated changes induced by morphine exposure in gene expression using several experimental models. In this study, we examined gene expression changes during chronic exposure to morphine during maturation and differentiation of zebrafish CNS. Our study identified different functional classes of genes and individual candidates involved in the mechanisms underlying susceptibility to morphine actions related to CNS development. These results open new lines to study the treatment of pain and the molecular mechanisms involved in addiction. We also found a set of zebrafish-specific morphine-induced genes, which may be putative targets in human models for addiction and pain processes.

We also found a set of zebrafish-specific morphine-induced genes, which may be putative targets in human models for addiction and pain processes. Zebrafish embryos were divided into two experimental groups: control embryos and embryos at 5 hpf exposed to 10 nM morphine and collected at 24 hpf (covering the complete embryogenesis). Morphine was administered to the embryos in their water environment, i.e., diluted in E3 embryonic medium. The exposition to begun at the stage of 5 hpf (end of blastula) is continuous, in order to study the chronic effects of the exposure to drug. Microarray experiments were performed using six replicates for each condition, which contained the RNA of approximately one hundred embryos to minimize the influence of potential individual differences between the animals and technical variation introduced by tissue preparation. We previously reported that a concentration of 10 nM morphine is the highest concentration that can be used without a toxic effect on the embryos, and close to 5% of the morphine diluted in the E3 medium is detected in the embryo.
