Circular RNA hsa_circ_0000848 promotes trophoblast cell migration and invasion and inhibits cell apoptosis by sponging hsa-miR-6768-5p

ABSTRACT: To investigate the expression profiles of circRNAs in the placental tissues from pregnant women with fetal growth restriction (FGR), Arraystar Human circRNA Array V2 analysis was performed. Six samples (three samples each from FGR group and healthy controls group) were used in the microarray screening. 13532 circRNAs were identified in the placental tissues from FGR and normal groups, and only 244 circRNAs were found to be more differentially expressed in the placental tissues of the FGR group than in normal placenta (fold-change > 1.5, p < 0.05). Among them, 100 and 144 circRNAs were up- and down-regulated, respectively. To verify circRNA expression in the FGR placenta, we chose hsa_circ_0007738, hsa_circ_0071271, and hsa_circ_0000848, which have the greatest expression differences between FGR and normal groups, for further analysis. Hsa_circ_0000848 expression level was significantly lower in FGR placental tissues than in the normal placenta tissues, whereas hsa_circ_0007738 and hsa_circ_0071271 expression levels did not change significantly. Further, we found that hsa_circ_0000848 promoted trophoblast cell migration and invasion, and inhibited cell apoptosis via sponging miR-6768-5p.

Project description:In platelets, splicing and translation occur in the absence of a nucleus. However, the integrity and stability of mRNAs derived from megakaryocyte progenitor cells remain poorly quantified on a transcriptome-wide level. As circular RNAs (circRNAs) are resistant to degradation by exonucleases, their abundance relative to linear RNAs can be used as a surrogate marker for mRNA stability in the absence of transcription. Here we show that circRNAs are enriched in human platelets 17-188 fold relative to nucleated tissues, and 14-26 fold relative to samples digested with RNAseR to selectively remove linear RNA. We compare RNAseq read depths inside and outside circRNAs to provide in silico evidence of transcript circularity, show that exons within circRNAs are enriched ~13X in platelets relative to nucleated tissues, and identify 3162 genes significantly enriched for circRNAs including some where all RNAs appear to be derived from circular molecules. We also confirm that this is a feature of other anucleate cells through transcriptome sequencing of mature erythrocytes, demonstrate that circRNAs are not enriched in megakaryocytes, and that linear RNAs decay more rapidly than circRNAs in platelet preparations. Collectively, these results suggest that circulating platelets have lost on aveage over 90% of their progenitor mRNAs, and that translation in platelets occurrs against the backdrop of a highly degraded transcriptome. Finally, we find that transcripts classified as products of reverse transcriptase template switching are both enriched in platelets and resistant to decay, countering the recent suggestion that up to 50% of rearranged RNAs are artefacts. A single rRNA depleted total RNA sample was sequenced. This together with 25 publicly available rRNA depleted total RNA samples (including 3 from platelets) were analysed using PTESFinder v 1 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ptesfinder-v1/) to identify back-splice junctions, characteristic of circRNA transcripts. The contribution of circRNA producing exons was analysed on a gene by gene basis as follows: All circRNA transcripts identified in any sample were first pooled to define exons which can contribute to circRNA generation using custom scripts (available on request). For each sample, expression estimates (RPKMI) across all circRNA producing exons were computed for each locus using the total size of exons (in bp) and the read counts mapping to them. Similarly, total size and exonic read counts for exons for which no circRNA were detected in any sample were used to compute expression estimates (RPKME) for non-circRNA producing exons for each locus. Abundance ratios (RPKMI/RPKME and RPKMI/RPKMI+RPKME) were calculated and compared between Platelets and human tissues using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
