ABSTRACT: To better understand the response mechanism of rice plants to Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) infection, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis between the RBSDV-infected and non-infected rice plants. A total of 1342 mRNAs and 22 lncRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed after RBSDV infection. Most differentially expressed transcripts involved in the plant-pathogen interaction pathway were upregulated after RBSDV infection, indicating the activation of rice defense response by RBSDV. A network of differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) was then constructed. In this network, there are 56 plant-pathogen interaction-related DEmRNAs co-expressing with 20 DElncRNAs, suggesting these DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs may play essential roles in rice innate immunity against RBSDV.
Project description:High-throughput single-base resolution bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq) was carried out to analyze the distribution pattern and characteristics of cytosine methylation in RBSDV-infected rice. Widespread differences were identified at CG and non-CG contexts between the RBSDV-infected and RBSDV-free rice. We identified a large number of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) along the genome of RBSDV-infected rice. And meanwhile, the transcriptome sequencing analysis obtained 1119 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Correlation analysis of DMRs-related genes (DMGs) and DEGs filtered 71 genes with negative relationship between methylation level at promoter regions and gene expression. Many of them were significantly enriched in the KEGG pathways of biosynthesis of amino acids, plant-pathogen interaction and plant hormone signal transduction.

Project description:The goal of our study is to uncover the pathogenesis of large-artery atherosclerotic ischemic stroke (LAAIS) and small-artery occlusion ischemic stroke (SAOIS) and analyze their difference using RNA sequencing.RNA sequencing was used to filtrate differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in LAAIS and SAOIS. Specific DEmRNAs and DElncRNAs in LAAIS and SAOIS were further foun. Functional annotation and DElncRNA-DEmRNA co-expression network was built to reveal biological function of DEmRNAs.

Project description:Background: Luminal B cancers show much worse outcomes compared to luminal A. This present study aims to screen key lncRNAs and mRNAs correlated with luminal-B breast cancer. Methods: Luminal-B breast cancer tissue samples and adjacent tissue samples were obtained from 4 patients with luminal-B breast cancer. To obtain differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) between luminal-B breast cancer tumor tissues and adjacent tissues, RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed. Functional annotation of DEmRNAs and protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) construction were performed. DEmRNAs transcribed within a 100kb window up- or down-stream of DElncRNAs were searched, which were defined as cis nearby-targeted DEmRNAs of DElncRNAs. DElncRNA-DEmRNA co-expression networks were performed. Results: A total of 1178 DEmRNAs and 273 DElncRNAs between luminal-B breast cancer tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were obtained. Hematopoietic cell lineage, Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and Primary immunodeficiency were significantly enriched KEGG pathways in luminal-B breast cancer. FN1, EGFR, JAK3, TUBB3 and PTPRC were five hub proteins of the PPI networks. A total of 99 DElncRNAs-nearby-targeted DEmRNA pairs and 1878 DElncRNA-DEmRNA co-expression pairs were obtained. Conclusion: This study determined key genes and lncRNAs involved in luminal-B breast cancer, which expected to present a new avenue for the diagnosis and treatment of luminal-B breast cancer.
Project description:Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD) is a severe disease that has been occurring frequently in southern China and many other Asian countries. MRDD is caused by the infection of Rice black streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and leads to significant economic losses in maize production. To well understand the destructive effects of RBSDV infection on maize growth, comparative proteomic analysis of maize seedlings under RBSDV infection was performed using an integrated approach involving LC-MS/MS and TMT labeling. Our study identified 7615 maize proteins, of which 6319 proteins were quantified. A total of 116 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified, including 35 up- and 81 down-regulated proteins under RBSDV infection. Enrichment analysis showed that the DEPs were most strongly associated with Cyanoamino acid metabolism, protein processing in ER, and ribosome-related pathways. Two sulfur metabolism-related proteins were significantly reduced, indicating that sulfur may participate in the resistance against RBSDV infection. Furthermore, 15 DEPs involved in six metabolic pathways were identified in maize under RBSDV infection. Our data revealed that the responses of maize to RBSDV infection were controlled by various metabolic pathways.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely involved in gene transcription regulation and which act as epigenetic modifiers. To determine whether lncRNAs are involved in ischemic stroke (IS), we analyzed the expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in IS. RNA sequencing was performed on the blood of three pairs of IS patients and heathy controls. Differential expression analysis was used to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs). Based on the co-expression relationships between lncRNA and mRNA, a series of bioinformatics analysis including GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and PPI analysis, were conducted to predict the function of lncRNA. RNA sequencing produced a total of 5 DElncRNAs and 144 DEmRNAs. Influenza A pathway and Herpes simplex infection pathway were the most significant pathway. EP300 and NFKB1 were the most important target proteins, Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) family were the key gene in IS. Analysis of this study revealed that dysregulated lncRNAs in IS may lead to IS by affecting the immune and inflammation system. Findings may be the foundation for understanding the potential role of lncRNAs.
