Transcriptome sequencing of lncRNAs, circRNAs, miRNAs, mRNAs and interaction network constructing in acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Background: Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is the most common cause of acute respiratory deterioration and death in IPF patients, with an elusive etiology and pathogenesis. Roles of noncoding RNAs in AE-IPF have been proposed, however, it was rare to find studies have systematically investigated the crosstalk among various transcripts until now. The construction of RNA functional networks such as lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA and circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction networks could therefore facilitate our understanding of RNA interactions in AE-IPF. The study aimed to identify the expression differences of RNA transcripts in RNA sequencing from AE-IPF patients and stable IPF (S-IPF), and further to construct the potential RNA networks. Methods: Five AE-IPF patients and five S-IPF were recruited in this study to perform RNA sequencing and miRNA sequencing. The differentially expression profiles of lncRNAs, circRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs between AE-IPF and S-IPF patients were identified for further analyses. Gene Oncology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of were performed. The competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) network of lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA was constructed, and the core regulatory molecules in the ceRNA network were analyzed. Results: A total of 69 lncRNAs, 150 circRNAs, 27 miRNAs and 56 mRNAs were differentially expressed between AE-IPF and S-IPF. GO and KEGG analysis show that differentially expression mRNAs are significantly associated with tight junction and Hepatitis C, etc. In the ceRNA network, all nodes are directly or indirectly involved in the progression of AE-IPF. 1 lncRNAs, 6 circRNAs, 1 miRNAs, and 5 mRNAs constituted a hsa-miR-150-5p core sub-network. Based on the analysis of ceRNA sub-network, NR_120628/hsa-miR-150-5p/E2F3 and has-circ-0053515/hsa-miR-150-5p/E2F3 were considered to be the key ceRNA axis. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study reveals NR_120628/hsa-miR-150-5p/E2F3 and has-circ-0053515/hsa-miR-150-5p/E2F3 may be the key ceRNA axis in the regulation of AE-IPF, providing clues for future studies on their roles for AE-IPF. Our findings will help to explore the pathological mechanism of AE-IPF from a transcriptomic perspective and provide enlightenment for the biomarker and therapeutic targets of AE-IPF.

Project description:Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF), a critical health and economic issue is common in patients with heart failure (HF). Meanwhile, HF is a leading complication of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), and the presence of both conditions is associated with worsen outcomes. Accumulating evidence has indicated that messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) play vital roles in the occurrence and progression of HF and AF. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of HF with AF remains elusive. We aimed to investigate the role of circRNA/miRNA/mRNA regulatory network in HF with AF through High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 4 patients who had heart failure with atrial fibrillation (HF /AF group) and 4 matched healthy subjects. RNA sequencing was performed to get circRNAs and mRNAs. miRNAs were obtained through miRanda and HMDD databases. qRT-PCR was used to verify our data. R software was employed for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. The PPI network was completed using STRING. Immune infiltration analysis was performed using cibersort method. The ceRNA network of circRNA/miRNA/mRNA was constructed by Cytoscape. Results: Differential expression analysis showed that circRNAs (137 upregulated and 31 downregulated) and mRNAs (534 upregulated and 255 downregulated) were considered as significantly different between HF with AF group and control group. Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated that macrophages were obviously upregulated and mast cells were significantly downregulated in PBMCs of the HF/AF group. GO and KEGG analyses showed that HF with AF-related mRNAs were abundant in the pathway of programmed cell death (PCD) and myocardial remodeling. So we confirm that hsa_circ_0047870/hsa-miR-34a-5p/SMPD1, hsa_circ_0127340/hsa-miR-192-3p/FBXW5, hsa_circ_0002484/hsa-miR-26b-3p/PYCARD, hsa_circ_0047870/hsa-miR-20b-3p/HTRA2 and hsa_circ_0004027/hsa-miR-26a-5p/HIF1A ceRNA axes could promote the development of HF with AF through the PCD-related pathway. Conclusions: We suggested that the imbalance of immune cell composition in PBMCs may play an initial role in the progression of HF with AF. The PCD-related ceRNA regulatory network may be the potential therapeutic target in the occurrence and progression of HF with AF. The circRNAs could serve as novel diagnostic markers.
