Differentially expressed lncRNAs in placentas from patients with late-onset preeclampsia

ABSTRACT: To identify lncRNA expression in placentas from patients with late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify differential expression of lncRNAs in placental samples from LOPE patients and normal controls. For microarray analysis, 8 randomly and blindly selected placental samples from LOPE patients and matched controls (4 samples per group) were used to extract total RNA. The expression profiles of the placental lncRNAs were detected using the Agilent Human lncRNA Microarray V4.0(OE Biotech, Shanghai, China). The threshold for a dysregulated lncRNA was set as a fold-change (FC) value of 2.0 or greater. A totle of 163 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified. Expression of nine lncRNAs (NONHSAT145880, ENST00000587240, NONHSAT116812, NONHSAT104536, FR339600, NONHSAG018907, TCONS_l2_00014782, NONHSAT134432 and NONHSAG024318) from this microarray was quantified n placental tissues from the LOPE patients (n = 40) and controls (n = 35) delivered by caesarean section by real-time PCR, confirming low variability between the qRT-PCR results and the microarray data.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex multi-factorial inflammatory disease with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) being the two most common forms. A number of transcriptional profiling studies have provided compelling evidence that describe the role of protein-coding genes and microRNAs in modulating the immune responses in IBD. In the present study, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome profiling of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes in inflamed and non-inflamed colon pinch biopsies from the IBD patients using expression microarrays platform. In this study, we identified widespread dysregulation of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes in both inflamed and non-inflamed CD and UC compared to the healthy controls. In case of inflamed CD and UC (iCD and iUC), we identified 438 and 745 differentially expressed lncRNAs, respectively, while in case of the non-inflamed CD and UC (niCD and niUC), we identified 12 and 19 differentially expressed lncRNAs, respectively. We also observed significant enrichment (p-value < 0.001, Pearson’s Chi-squared test) for 96 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 154 protein-coding genes within the IBD susceptibility loci. Furthermore, we found strong positive expression correlations for the intersecting and cis-neighboring differentially expressed IBD loci-associated lncRNA-protein-coding gene pairs. The functional annotation analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that they are involved in immune response, pro-inflammatory cytokine activity and MHC protein complex. The lncRNA expression profiling in both inflamed and non-inflamed CD and UC, successfully stratified IBD patients from the healthy controls. Taken together, the identified lncRNA transcriptional signature along with clinically relevant parameters suggests their potential as biomarkers in IBD. A total of 96 biopsy samples (including 6 samples used as technical replicates) extracted from different colonic locations from 45 patients (CD=13, UC=20, Controls=12) were profiled using Agilent Custom 8x60K format lncRNA expression microarray. In Gencode v15 lncRNA microarray design, each lncRNA transcript is targeted by two probes covering 22,001 lncRNA transcripts corresponding to 12,963 lncRNA genes. In addition, each array contains 17,535 randomly-selected protein-coding targets, of which 15,182 (unique 12,787) correspond to protein-coding genes.

Project description:Recent studies show that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in human cancers. However, functional lncRNAs and their downstream mechanisms are largely unknown in the molecular pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and its progression. In the present study, we performed transcriptomic profiling of five ICC and paired adjacent noncancerous tissues (N) using lncRNA and mRNA microarrays to identify relevant biomarkers in ICC. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the microarray results. We sought correlations between the expression levels of lncRNAs and those of target genes. Clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival were compared using the t-test and the Kaplan–Meier method, respectively. A total of 3,054 and 2,111 lncRNAs were significantly up- and down-regulated(fold change?2, p?0.05) in ICC tissues compared to the adjacent NT samples. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that most such genes were related to carcinogenesis, hepatic system disease, and signal transduction. Positive correlations were evident between four pairs of lncRNAs and target mRNAs (RNA43085 and SULF1, RNA47504 and KDM8, RNA58630 and PCSK6, and RNA40057 and CYP2D6). In addition, some lncRNAs and mRNAs were significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics. The cumulative overall survival rate was significantly associated with low-level expression of CYP2D6 (p=0.005) and PCSK6 (p=0.038). And patients with high expression levels of CYP2D6 and RNA40057 have significant better prognosis (p=0.014). Our results suggested that lncRNA expression profile in ICC tissues is profoundly different from that in NT samples. The lncRNA signature could be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of patients with ICC. Furthermore, the combination of lncRNA and mRNA can reliably predict the survival. The lncRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 5 ICC patients were studied by microarray and an combination of lncRNA and mRNA could be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of patients with ICC
