Identification of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network and primary blast lung injury-related circRNAs in mouse

ABSTRACT: Background. Primary blast lung injury (PBLI) was the main cause of death for blast injury patients, however, there is no diagnosis and effective treatment for PBLI in clinical practice. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) is becoming new regulators of various diseases, and the performance of circRNAs in PBLI remain largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the PBLI-related circRNA, to provide a new idea for the PBLI diagnosis and treatment. Methods. The differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs and mRNAs profile were screened by transcriptome high throughput sequencing. The differentially expressed circRNA linear transcripts and mRNAs were used to performed GO and KEGG pathway enrichment to investigate the potential function. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was based on DE circRNA-miRNA pairs and PBLI-related mRNAs-miRNA pairs. Results. A total of 117 circRNAs and 681 mRNAs were aberrantly expressed in PBLI, including 64 up-regulated and 53 down-regulated circRNAs, and 315 up-regulated and 366 down-regulated mRNAs. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the up-regulated circRNAs might involve MAPK signaling pathways, and down-regulated circRNAs might involve in the TGF-β signaling pathway. And the differentially expressed mRNAs might involve TNF signaling pathway and fanconi anemia pathway. A total of 89 PBLI-related circRNAs and 156 circRNAs-miRNA-mRNA interactions were predicted, these circRNAs might involve in the inflammation, oxidative stress or DNA damage repair in PBLI. Conclusion. This study reveals the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on altered expression of circRNAs and mRNA in PBLI. Our results may provide information about the occurrence of PBLI and new ideas for diagnosing and treating PBLI.

Project description:Background: There is growing evidence that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in a variety of diseases, including erectile dysfunction (ED). Nevertheless, the role of circRNAs in cavernous nerve-damaging ED (CNI-ED) is unknown. Here, we aimed to discover new circRNAs, investigate their potential role in the pathogenesis of CNI-ED, and construct a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. Methods: Twelve male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into bilateral cavernous nerve crush (BCNC) and control groups. Four weeks after surgery, the spongy smooth muscle tissue of the rat penis was sequenced using high-throughput full transcriptome sequencing. We analyzed the expression profiles of circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in the two groups. Twenty circRNAs with significantly different expressions were selected for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established using Cytoscape. Gene ontology (GO)-term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed using the edgeR package. Results: RNA transcriptome sequencing showed that 4,587 circRNAs, 762 miRNAs, and 21,661 mRNAs were dysregulated in the BCNC group. The top 20 differentially expressed circRNAs were further verified via RT-qPCR. The ceRNA network contained 23 circRNA-miRNA pairs and 227 miRNA-mRNA pairs, including ten circRNAs, six miRNAs, and 227 mRNAs. GO analysis suggested that these ten circRNAs could regulate various processes, such as oxidation-reduction processes, lipid metabolic processes, apoptotic processes, and proteolysis. Furthermore, KEGG analysis of mRNAs in the ceRNA network showed that they were involved in energy metabolism and communication between cells. A protein‐protein interaction network was constructed with the 227 mRNAs, and five hub genes (Ccna2, Cxcl10, Pld1, Mapk11, and Mboat2) were identified. In addition, Using circRNADb, we found 12 circRNAs with protein-coding potential, three of which were highly conserved in humans and rats. Our study revealed a potential link between circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in CNI-ED, suggesting that circRNAs may contribute to the occurrence of ED by regulating the cellular energy metabolism in CNI-ED.
