Project description:Higher incidence of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is generally considered a precancerous lesion of gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of CAG, especially in Tibetan Plateau areas, play an important role in the prevention of GC. The atrophic and non-atrophic gastric mucosal tissue samples from 7 patients with chronic gastritis (CG) and cancer tissue samples from 3 patients with GC were collected. High-throughput sequencing was performed to identify the differentially expressed in lncRNAs, circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs, followed by the construction of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks (lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network) in CAG. Those differentially expressed mRNAs with the same expression trend in both CAG and GC were further identified. Two datasets (GSE153224 and GSE163416), involving data in non-Tibetan Plateau areas, were used to further screen out plateau-specific mRNAs in CAG, followed by identification of the plateau-specific and ferroptosis related mRNAs. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed to investigate the biological functions of plateau-specific mRNAs in CAG. This study may provide useful information for identifying potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of CAG.

Project description:Intervention type:DRUG. Intervention1:Huaier, Dose form:GRANULES, Route of administration:ORAL, intended dose regimen:20 to 60/day by either bulk or split for 3 months to extended term if necessary. Control intervention1:None.
Primary outcome(s): For mRNA libraries, focus on mRNA studies. Data analysis includes sequencing data processing and basic sequencing data quality control, prediction of new transcripts, differential expression analysis of genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathway database are used for annotation and enrichment analysis of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes.
For small RNA libraries, data analysis includes sequencing data process and sequencing data process QC, small RNA distribution across the genome, rRNA, tRNA, alignment with snRNA and snoRNA, construction of known miRNA expression pattern, prediction New miRNA and Study of their secondary structure Based on the expression pattern of miRNA, we perform not only GO / KEGG annotation and enrichment, but also different expression analysis.. Timepoint:RNA sequencing of 240 blood samples of 80 cases and its analysis, scheduled from June 30, 2022..

Project description:The present NGST, TMT and Q-TOF MS platform should provide unprecedented resources to address such questions as to how hypoxic condition affects gene, miRNA, protein, and metabolite expression and changes the molecular pathways, and whether miRNAs participate in this process. For this purpose, we characterise transcriptomic, miRNAomic, proteomic and metabonomic sequencing of control- and hypoxia-treated P. vachelli muscles to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of hypoxia adaptation. We were able to find the predicted miRNA-mRNA-protein-metabolite regulatory network using bioinformatics analysis and miRNA prediction algorithms (Fig. 1). This is the first report on integrated analysis of transcriptome, miRNAome, and proteome, and metabolome in fishes and as such offers deeper insight into the hypoxia molecular mechanisms. We provide a good case study with which to analyse mRNA, miRNA, protein and metabolite expression and profile non-model fish species.
Project description:Purpose:Yak long-term colonization and widespread distribution across the plateau can be serve as an ideal natural animal model to provide insights into the adaptive evolution of other plateau species, including humans. Methods:To exploring the molecular mechanisms of lung tissue in yak to response to hypoxia, the mRNA, lncRNA and miRNA of lung tissue from cattle and three different altitude yaks were sequenced. Results:A total of 21764 mRNAs, 14168 lncRNAs and 1209miRNAs (305 known and 904 novel miRNAs)were identifed.Compared yak with cattle, 4975 mRNAs, 3326 lncRNAs and 75 miRNAs were differentially expressed. 756 mRNAs, 346 lncRNAs and 83 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed amongthree different altitude yaks(fold change≥2 and P-value<0.05). Conclusions:The differentially expressed genes were functionally enriched in long-chain fatty acid metabolic process and protein processing between yak and cattle, while the immune response and cell cycle were enriched among three different altitude yaks. Furthermore, the competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) networks were identified to illustrate their roles.
