Changes of metabolic genes expression in lungs of bleomycin-treated mice

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Explore whether bleomycin treatment will induce changes of metabolic genes expression via next-generation sequencing (NGS) in mouse lung tissues. Methods: Four groups of wild type mice were intratracheally injected with 25 µl PBS or bleomycin (15 mg/kg) after anesthetization. 10 days after bleomycin treatment, lung tissues were removed for RNA collection. Three samples per group were mixed to one sample and used for next RNA purification. RNA samples were then used for high-throughput sequencing according to standard operation based on RNA BGISEQ-500. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 21.9 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10) and identified 1024 upregulated and 936 downregulated genes in lungs of bleomycin-treated mice. RNA-seq data had a linear relationship with qRT–PCR for more than four orders of magnitude. Altered expression of 20 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR, demonstrating the high degree of sensitivity of the RNA-seq method. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered metabolic changes of many carbohydrates, amino acid and fatty acid. Data analysis with BWA and TopHat workflows revealed a significant overlap yet provided complementary insights in metabolism profiling. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of metabolic changes in lungs of bleomycin-treated mice with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. We conclude that RNA-seq based metabolic genes characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived WT and dKO round spermatids transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) Methods: Adult WT and dKO round spermatids mRNA profiles mice were generated by deep sequencing, in dulplicate. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified 16,014 transcripts in the retinas of WT and Nrl−/− mice with BWA workflow and 34,115 transcripts with TopHat workflow. RNA-seq data confirmed stable expression of 25 known housekeeping genes, and 12 of these were validated with qRT–PCR. RNA-seq data had a linear relationship with qRT–PCR for more than four orders of magnitude and a goodness of fit (R2) of 0.8798. Approximately 10% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the WT and dKO round spermatids, with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value <0.05. Altered expression of 25 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR, demonstrating the high degree of sensitivity of the RNA-seq method. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered several as yet uncharacterized genes that may contribute to retinal function. Data analysis with BWA and TopHat workflows revealed a significant overlap yet provided complementary insights in transcriptome profiling. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of retinal transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions. Adult wild type (WT) and dKO mouse round spermatids were generated by deep sequencing, in dulplicate, using Illumina GAIIx.
