MRNAs expression profiles of high glucose-induced memory in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A long-term "memory" of hyperglycemic stress, even when glycemia is normalized, has been previously reported in endothelial cells. However, the molecular mechanism of "metabolic memory" (MM) remains unknown. In this report, we sought to screen at the whole transcriptome level the genes that participate in MM.

Methods

In the present research, RNA sequencing was used to determine the protein-coding mRNA expression profiles of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under normal-glucose concentration (LG), high-glucose concentration (HG), and MM. A series of bioinformatic analyses was performed. HG-induced MM-involved up-regulated genes (up-HGMMGs) and HG-induced MM-involved down-regulated genes (down-HGMMGs) were identified. Afterward, based on up-HGMMGs and do
