Project description:Objective: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a common urologic disease associated with poorly understood molecular mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the possible involvements of circRNAs (circular RNAs) and circRNA-encoded proteins in BOO development. Methods: The rat BOO model was established by the partial bladder outlet obstruction surgery. Differential expression of circRNA and protein profiles were characterized by deep RNA sequencing and iTRAQ quantitative proteomics respectively. Novel proteins encoded by circRNAs were predicted through ORF (open reading frame) selection using the GETORF software and verified by the mass spectrometry in proteomics, combined with the validation of their expressional alterations by quantitative RT-PCR. Results: Totally 3051 circRNAs were differentially expressed in bladder tissues of rat BOO model with widespread genomic distributions, including 1414 up-regulated and 1637 down-regulated circRNAs. Our following quantitative proteomics revealed significant changes of 85 proteins in rat BOO model, which were enriched in multiple biological processes and signaling pathways such as the PPAR and Wnt pathways. Among them, 21 differentially expressed proteins were predicted to be encoded by circRNAs and showed consistent circRNA and protein levels in rat BOO model. The expression of five protein-encoding circRNA were further validated by quantitative RT-PCR and mass spectrometry. Conclusion: The circRNA and protein profiles were substantially altered in rat BOO model, with great expressional changes of circRNA-encoded novel proteins.
Project description:Adipose development is regulated by a series of complicate processes, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as circRNA have been reported to play important roles in regulating adipocytes proliferation and differentiation. In this study we profifile the expression of circRNA in cattle fat tissue from calf and adult developmental stages and detect 14,274 circRNA candidates. Some of these circRNAs are differentially expressed between two developmental stages.
Project description:The prevalence of obesity and overweight is steadily rising, posing a significant global challenge for humanity. The fundamental cause of obesity and overweight lies in the abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue. While numerous regulatory factors related to fat deposition have been identified in previous studies, a considerable number of regulatory mechanisms remain unknown. tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a novel class of non-coding RNAs, have emerged as significant regulators in various biological processes. In this study, we obtained small RNA sequencing data from subcutaneous white adipose tissue and omental white adipose tissue of lean and obese pigs. In addition, we similarly obtained tsRNAs profiles from scapular brown adipose tissue (BAT), inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and epigonadal white adipose tissue (eWAT) of normal mice. Finally, we successfully identified a large number of expressed tsRNAs in each tissue type and identified tsRNAs conserved in different adipose tissues of pigs and mice. These datasets will be a valuable resource for elucidating the epigenetic mechanisms of fat deposition.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE17058: MiRNA expression in adipose tissue and liver from a spontaneous rat model of Type 2 diabetes GSE17059: Gene expression in adipose tissue and liver from a spontaneous rat model of Type 2 diabetes Refer to individual Series
Project description:Many studies have demonstrated the importance of circRNA in regulating gene expression through functioning as microRNA sponges. However, the roles of circRNA-protein interaction are not fully understood. Importantly, how circRNA-protein interaction contributes the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is largely unexplored. Therefore, RNA Pull down assay for investigating RNA-protein interaction was performed in PANC-1 cells.
Project description:A high-fructose diet (HFrD) fed rat model of hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis was employed to investigate the global transcriptional changes in the lipid metabolizing pathways in three insulin sensitive tissues:, liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in response to chronic dietary administration of NDGA.
