Decoction mediates spinal cord repair in vitro and in vivo through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to find the potential molecular mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of spinal cord injury Methods: Total RNA was isolated and purified using TRIzol reagent following the manufacturer's procedure. The RNA amount and purity of each sample was quantified using NanoDrop ND-1000 . The RNA integrity was assessed by Bioanalyzer 2100 with RIN number >7.0, and confirmed by electrophoresis with denaturing agarose gel. Poly (A) RNA is purified from 1μg total RNA using Dynabeads Oligo (dT)25-61005 using two rounds of purification. Then the poly(A) RNA was fragmented into small pieces using Magnesium RNA Fragmentation Module under 94℃ 5-7min. Then the cleaved RNA fragments were reverse-transcribed to create the cDNA by SuperScript™ II Reverse Transcriptase , which were next used to synthesise U-labeled second-stranded DNAs with E. coli DNA polymerase I, RNase H and dUTP Solution . An A-base is then added to the blunt ends of each strand, preparing them for ligation to the indexed adapters. Each adapter contains a T-base overhang for ligating the adapter to the A-tailed fragmented DNA. Single- or dual-index adapters are ligated to the fragments, and size selection was performed with AMPureXP beads. After the heat-labile UDG enzyme (NEB, cat.m0280, USA) treatment of the U-labeled second-stranded DNAs, the ligated products are amplified with PCR by the following conditions: initial denaturation at 95℃ for 3 min; 8 cycles of denaturation at 98℃ for 15 sec, annealing at 60℃ for 15 sec, and extension at 72℃ for 30 sec; and then final extension at 72℃ for 5 min. The average insert size for the final cDNA library was 300±50 bp. At last, we performed the 2×150bp paired-end sequencing (PE150) on an Illumina Novaseq™ 6000 following the vendor's recommended protocol. Results:In this study, we obtained: chromosome: 23, Genes (G): 32623, Transcripts (T): 40808, GO Annoated: 20795, KEGG Annoated: 8299; in further pathway analysis, it was shown that PI3K-AKT signaling pathway may be the underlying molecular mechanism. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the spinal cord transcriptome generated by RNA-seq technology with biological replicates. Our results suggest that Modified Erxian decoction may mediate spinal cord repair through the PI3K-AKT pathway.

Project description:The discovery of small open reading frames (smORFs) encoding for polypeptides (SEPs; <100aa) highlights that the coding capacity of the genomes has been underestimated. Most ORF-finding algorithms have historically set a minimum threshold length of 100 aa. As consequence, some transcripts encoding for SEPs, were erroneously discarded or classified as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). With this experiments we try to experimentally assess the existence and complexity of these small proteins. The experimental design includes: After growing each Mycoplasma for 6h at 37°C, cells were washed twice with PBS and lysed with 700 µl of Qiazol buffer. Then, samples were lysed with 700 µl of Qiazol buffer. RNA extractions were performed by using the miRNeasy mini Kit (Qiagen) following the instructions of the manufacturer. Libraries for RNA-seq were prepared following directional RNA-seq library preparation and sequencing. Briefly, 1 µg of total RNA was fragmented to ~100-150 nt using NEB Next Magnesium RNA Fragmentation Module (ref. E6150S, NEB). Treatments with Antarctic phosphatase (ref. M0289S, NEB) and PNK (ref. M0201S, NEB) were performed in order to make the 5’ and 3’ ends of the RNA available for adapter ligation. Samples were further processed using the TruSeq small RNA Sample Prep Kit (ref. RS-200-0012, Illumina) according to the manufacturer's protocol. In summary, 3’ adapters and subsequently 5’ adapters were ligated to the RNA. cDNA was synthesized using reverse transcriptase (SuperScript II, ref. 18064-014, Invitrogen) and a specific primer (RNA RT Primer) complementary to the 3’ RNA adapter. cDNA was further amplified by PCR using indexed adapters supplied in the kit. Finally, size selection of the libraries was performed using 6% Novex® TBE Gels (ref. EC6265BOX, Life Technologies). Fragments with insert sizes of 100 to 130 bp were cut from the gel, and cDNA was precipitated and eluted in 10 µl of elution buffer. Double-stranded templates were cluster amplified and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:The tracks show enrichment of RNA sequence tags generated by high throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) and mapped to the human genome. Double stranded cDNA was synthesized from polyadenylated RNA (polyA+) . PCR amplified, adapter ligated cDNA, 150-300nt long, was sequenced on an Illumina GA sequencer. Where designated, cell lines received specific treatments prior to RNA isolation. As indicated, K562 cells were treated with either interferon-a or interferon-g for 30 minutes or 6 hours. These experiments were carried out in conjunction with ChIP-Seq experiments on the transcription factors STAT1 and STAT2 in order to examine the effects that inducers of a specific transcriptional response might have on gene expression and on transcription factor binding site discovery. K562 cells were treated with a-amanitin in order to examine the effects of RNA polymerase II inhibition on RNA polymerase III-mediated transcription. This track shows expression data generated as confirmation of the SYDH TFBS (http://genome-preview.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeSydhTfbs) tracks currently available on genome-preview. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf Cells were grown according to the approved ENCODE cell culture protocols (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/protocols/cell). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagents (15596-018, Life Tech), following the manufacturer's protocol. For polyA+ samples, polyadenylated RNA was purified using the MicroPoly(A) Purist kit (AM1919, Life Tech) and fragmented using RNA Fragmentation Reagent (AM8740, Life Tech). Illumina adapters were ligated to double stranded cDNA which was synthesized using reagents from Life Tech (11917-010). PCR amplified adapter ligated cDNA (150-300 bp) was sequenced using Illumina GA. Sequence reads of 27-33nt long with 0-2 mismatches were mapped to the genome. The signal height corresponds to the number of overlapping fragments at each nucleotide position in the genome. Samples originally mapped to the hg18 version of the human genome were remapped to hg19 using the BWA aligner, version 0.5.7.
