Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of liver cirrhosis

ABSTRACT: Liver cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of decreased life expectancy worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of liver cirrhosis remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis using transcriptome and metabolome sequencing to explore the genes, pathways, and interactions associated with liver cirrhosis. We performed transcriptome and metabolome sequencing of blood samples from patients with cirrhosis and healthy controls (1:1 matched for sex and age). For transcriptome analysis, we screened for differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs, analyzed mRNAs to identify possible core genes and pathways, and performed co-analysis of miRNA and mRNA sequencing results. And we validated differentially expressed microRNA (miRNA) and mRNAs using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In terms of the metabolome, we screened five pathways that were substantially enriched in the differential metabolites. Next, we identified the metabolites with the most pronounced differences among these five metabolic pathways. We performed receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of these five metabolites to determine their diagnostic efficacy for cirrhosis. Finally, we explored possible links between the transcriptome and metabolome. Using a systems biology framework, We identified miRNAs and mRNAs that were differentially expressed in the blood of cirrhotic patients and healthy controls. And explored associated pathways as well as disease-specific networks. Additionally, We identified possible common pathways in the transcriptome and metabolome that can reveal coherent changes in cirrhosis from the transcriptional level to the metabolic level, which can be further studied from multiple perspectives.

Project description:Background & aims: The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH) and their potential as therapeutic targets in liver disease has not been explored yet. This study aims at profiling miRNA in AH and identifying dysregulated miRNAs involved in AH pathophysiology. Methods: miRNA expression arrays were performed in 13 AH, 5 alcohol liver disease-induced cirrhosis (ALD-CH), 5 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced cirrhosis (NASH-CH), 4 HCV-induced cirrhosis (HCV-CH) and 6 non-injured liver control samples. Genome wide expression profile was retrieved for 12 paired AH and control samples. MiRNA and mRNA expression data was integrated and identified miRNAs were validated in AH samples and in animal models of liver injury. Results:Â The miRNA array showed 111 upregulated and 66 downregulated miRNAs in AH versus healthy subjects. The comparison of miRNA profile in liver samples from AH among ALD-CH, HCV-CH and NASH-CH identified 18 miRNAs specifically dysregulated in AH. Integrative miRNA and mRNA analysis in AH identified dysregulated miRNAs for which their target genes were also dysregulated. A functional analysis of identified miRNAs and their targets revealed their involvement in the regulation of canonical pathways related to apoptosis, fatty acid metabolism and cell cycle among others. miRNAs expression (miR-182, miR-21, miR-155, miR-214, miR-432, miR-422a) was validated in an independent cohort of AH. MiR-182 expression correlated with cholestasis, disease severity and short-term mortality. Moreover, miR-182 expression is associated to cholestasis with ductular reaction but not to fibrosis and inflammation in animal models of liver injury. Conclusions:Â AH is characterized by an important dysregulation of miRNA expression with a unique miRNA profile. MiRNAs specifically expressed in AH are associated to cholestasisâ¦ Uncovered miRNAs are involved in important pathophysiological features in AH suggesting ta regulation of he role of miRNAs in the regulation of AH, and highlight miR-182 as a potential regulator of its pathophysiology. miRNA expression arrays were performed in 13 AH(Alcoholic hepatitis), 5 alcohol liver disease-induced cirrhosis (ALD-CH), 5 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced cirrhosis (NASH-CH), 4 HCV-induced cirrhosis (HCV-CH) and 6 non-injured liver control samples(CTRL).

Project description:Proctor2017 - Identifying microRNA for muscle regeneration during ageing (Mir143_in_muscle) This model is described in the article: Using computer simulation models to investigate the most promising microRNAs to improve muscle regeneration during ageing Carole J. Proctor & Katarzyna Goljanek-Whysall Scientific Reports Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression through interactions with target sites within mRNAs, leading to enhanced degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of translation. Skeletal muscle expresses many different miRNAs with important roles in adulthood myogenesis (regeneration) and myofibre hypertrophy and atrophy, processes associated with muscle ageing. However, the large number of miRNAs and their targets mean that a complex network of pathways exists, making it difficult to predict the effect of selected miRNAs on age-related muscle wasting. Computational modelling has the potential to aid this process as it is possible to combine models of individual miRNA:target interactions to form an integrated network. As yet, no models of these interactions in muscle exist. We created the first model of miRNA:target interactions in myogenesis based on experimental evidence of individual miRNAs which were next validated and used to make testable predictions. Our model confirms that miRNAs regulate key interactions during myogenesis and can act by promoting the switch between quiescent/proliferating/differentiating myoblasts and by maintaining the differentiation process. We propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143 inhibiting myogenesis.

Project description:Abstract: Background: Hyposalivation is one of the common symptoms of diabetes. Although the micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) has recently been identified to play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, the specific effects of miRNAs on diabetic salivary glands remain unclear. This work was aimed to investigate the expression profiles of miRNAs and identify miRNA‐mRNA network in submandibular gland (SMG) in db/db mice. Methods: miRNA and mRNA expressional profiles were analyzed by microarray technology from the SMG of db/db mice and db/m mice. Significant fold changes in miRNAs and mRNAs were confirmed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Bioinformatic analyses were performed to identify the critical biological functions and signaling pathways involved in diabetes-mediated hyposalivation and to identify the functional networks formed between differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and mRNAs. Results: A total of 28 DE miRNAs and 1146 DE mRNAs were identified of the SMG in db/db mice and db/m mice. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and KEGG pathway analysis demonstrated that DE miRNAs were highly associated with terms related to diverse biological processes and signaling pathways. Of the related pathways, TGF-beta signaling pathway and tight junction pathway were notable. The constructed network indicated interactions between 11 miRNAs and 42 mRNAs. Autophagy pathway is worth studying, especially the dynamic network of miRNA and mRNA. In addition, AKT3 and PIK3CD may play important roles in the development of diabetes-mediated hyposalivation. Conclusions: Our research describes the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles and functional networks involved in SMGs from db/db mice. These results provide possible molecular mechanisms and may help to elucidate possible molecular therapeutic targets for the treatment of diabetes-induced hyposalivation.
