The long noncoding RNA expression profile of human intervertebral disc degeneration identified by microarray analysis

ABSTRACT: In addition to the well-known short noncoding RNAs as miRNAs, increasing evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as key regulators in a wide aspect of biologic processes. Dysregulated expression of lncRNAs has been demonstrated being implicated in a variety of human diseases. However, there is relative paucity of information regarding the role of lncRNAs in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) hitherto. We have addressed the expression profiles of miRNAs in IDD previously. To determine whether lncRNAs is differentially expressed in IDD, we employed a lncRNA-mRNA microarray analysis of human nucleus pulposus (five degenerative as IDD and five normal specimens as control). With abundant probes accounting for 33,045 lncRNAs and 30,215 coding transcripts in our microarray, microarray data profiling indicated that 18995 lncRNAs and 14635 mRNAs were detected in all samples with 2309 lncRNAs and 3017 mRNAs differentially expressed in degenerated samples. Amongst them, 164 lncRNAs (97 up and 67 down) and 265 mRNAs were highly differentially expressed with an absolute fold change greater than ten. The upregulated mRNAs included the extracellular matrix components as COL1A2, LUM, FN1ACAN, DCN and ITFG2. 1100 lncRNAs and 1379 mRNAs were altered in the same direction in at least 4 of the 5 degenerative samples with fold change greater than 2 respectively. Three lncRNAs were chosen for the real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. qRT-PCR results showed a high consistency with the microarray data. In this study, to explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in IDD, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 5 human control nucleus pulposus tissue and 5 degenerative nucleus pulposus tissue by microarray.Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 degenerated, independently harvested.

Project description:Background: The nucleus pulposus is a constituent structure of the human intervertebral disc, and its degeneration can cause Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). However the cellular molecular mechanisms involved remain elusive. Methods: Through bioinformatics analysis, the single-cell transcriptome sequencing expression profiles of human normal nucleus pulposus cells (NNP) and human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells (DNP) were compared to clarify the transcriptome differential expression profiles of human normal and human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells. The single-cell sequencing results of the two samples were analyzed using bioinformatics methods to compare the differences in histiocytosis between human normal nucleus pulposus and human degenerated nucleus pulposus, map the histiocytes of NNP and DNP, perform cell differentiation trajectories for the cell populations of interest and predict cell function, and explore their heterogeneity by pathway analysis and Gene ontology analysis. Results: Nine cell types were identified, which were Chondrocyte1, Chondrocyte2, Chondrocyte3, Chondrocyte4, Chondrocyte5, Endothelial, Macrophage, Neutrophil, and T cells. Analysis of the proportion of chondrocytes in different tissues revealed that chondrocyte 1 accounted for a higher proportion of normal nucleus pulposus cells and highly expressed COL2A1 compared with degenerated nucleus pulposus cells; chondrocyte 2, chondrocyte 3, chondrocyte 4, and chondrocyte 5 accounted for a higher proportion of degenerated nucleus pulposus cells compared with normal nucleus pulposus cells. Among them, chondrocyte 2 was an inhibitory calcified chondrocyte with high expression of MGP, Chondrocytes 3 were fibrochondrocytes with high expression of COL1A1, Chondrocytes 4 are chondrocytes that highly express pain inflammatory genes such as PTGES, Chondrocytes 5 were calcified chondrocytes with high expression of FN1. (Chondrocytes 4 and chondrocytes 5 were found for the first time in a study of single-cell transcriptome sequencing of disc tissue.) Cell trajectory analysis revealed that chondrocyte 1 was at the beginning of the trajectory and chondrocyte 3 was at the end of the trajectory, while chondrocyte 5 appeared first in the trajectory relative to chondrocyte 2 and chondrocyte 4. Conclusion: After functional identification of the specifically expressed genes in five chondrocytes, it was found that chondrocyte 1 was a chondrocyte with high expression of COL2A1, COL9A2, COL11A2, and CHRDL2 in a high proportion of normal nucleus pulposus cells, and chondrocyte 3 was a fibrochondrocyte with high expression of COL1A1, COL6A3, COL1A2, COL3A1, AQP1, and COL15A1 in an increased proportion during nucleus pulposus cell degeneration. Through cell trajectory analysis, it was found that chondrocytes 5 specifically expressing FN1, SESN2, and GDF15 may be the key cells leading to degeneration of nucleus pulposus cells. Chondrocytes 2 expressing MGP, MT1G, and GPX3 may play a role in reversing calcification and degeneration, and chondrocytes 4 expressing PTGES, TREM1, and TIMP1 may play a role in disc degeneration pain and inflammation.
