Project description:Sepsis is commonly complicated by acute lung injury (ALI). We aimed to determine the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs expression profiles in a cecal ligation and puncture mouse model of septic ALI. The model was verified by the elevation of inflammatory cytokine levels, the protein concentration in Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and histological analysis of lung tissues. LncRNA and mRNA profiles were detected using an Agilent microarray. Bioinformatic analyses were employed to analyze the expression profiles and multiple biological functions. The results showed that lncRNAs These results implied that lncRNAs would be novel regulators and potential targets in septic ALI.
Project description:Our team has constructed a prediction model based on the expression level of lncRNA (lncRNA-UCID、NEAT1、ciRS-7) to predict the chronicization of radiation-induced acute intestinal injury (RAII) and verified the predictive efficacy of the system in retrospective studies. This clinical study intends to further prospectively verify the accuracy of this prediction model in rectal cancer patients. In this study, we plan to enroll 200 patients diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer by pathology and MRI, who undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and total mesorectal excision (TME) and develop RAII during NCRT or within 1 month. We will follow up the occurrence and progression of radiation-induced intestinal injury within 1 year after TME. Expression levels of lncRNA will be detected in pathological tissue after TME and applied to the prediction model to predict the chronicization of RAII. Based on the clinical diagnosis of chronic radiation-induced intestinal injury, the area under curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, specificity, and sensitivity of this prediction model in predicting the chronicization of RAII will be evaluated. The main outcome hypothesis is that the AUC of chronicization of RAII predicted by the prediction model based on the expression level of lncRNA is more than 0.8.
Project description:Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common form of AKI with poor outcomes. Renal proteomic analysis after bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration revealed that the local renal acute phase reaction (APR) is one of the strongest responses of the kidney during septic AKI in mice. Evaluation of mRNA expression confirmed that most acute phase proteins were produced in the kidney. Our study also provides missing information on the time course of septic renal APR. Proteomic analysis of LPS-induced AKI demonstrated a marked upregulation of local renal acute phase response (APR) that commenced a few hours post injection and peaked at 24 h. Much more APPs were involved in the renal APR than previously identified.
Project description:OrR drosophila 3rd instar larvae were subjected to septic injury with a mixture of E.coli and S.aureus at 3h, 6h and 18h. Plasmatocytes were isolated afterwards and subjected to RNA-seq
Project description:Sepsis is a complex, life-threatening clinical syndrome that can cause other related diseases, such as acute kidney injury (AKI). Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA with a diverse range of functions, and it plays essential roles in miRNA sponge. CircRNA plays a huge part in the development of various diseases. CircRNA and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network are unknown factors in the onset and progression of septic AKI (SAKI). This study aimed to clarify the complex circRNA-associated regulatory mechanism of circRNAs in SAKI.

Project description:To further explore the expression of circRNA, lncRNA and mRNA in mice with septic cardiomyopathy, we have employed microarray analysis as a discovery platform to identify circRNAs and lncRNAs with the potential to play role in the pathophysiology process of LPS-induced septic cardiomyopathy in mice. Six hours after intraperitoneal injection of LPS(10mg/kg) or saline solution, eight mice (LPS group, n=4; Cont group, n=4) were anesthetized and the heart were collected. And then total RNA was extracted and used for microarray detection.
Project description:Drosophila 3rd instar larvae were subjected to septic injury. After 6h plasmatocytes were isolated, fixed and subjected to ChIP-seq.
Project description:Gene expression profiling was performed in lung tissues from an animal model of sepsis challenged with injurious and non-injurious mechanical ventilation to unravel the molecular pathways involved in acute lung injury. Sepsis was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats by means of cecal ligation and puncture. Septic rats were randomly allocated to three distinct groups: spontaneous breathing, mechanically ventilated with high tidal volume with zero positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and with low tidal volume and 10 cmH2O of PEEP. Comparisons were performed against an unventilated control group.
Project description:Drosophila plasmatocyes expressed control or trxG RNAis under the plasmatocyte specific Hml promotor. 6h prior to plasmatocyte collection animals were split into control and septic injury groups and treated accordingly. Afterwards plasmatocytes were isolated and polyA RNA was subjected to RNA-seq.
