摘要:

miRNA可通过与靶mRNA3’端非编码区配对调控基因表达,从而调节多种生物学过程,研究发现miRNA在脑缺血再灌注损伤模型中表达异常。高通量测序是近年发展起来的一种基于合成技术测序识别miRNA的方法,已广泛用于生物miRNA的分析。因此实验对再灌注前侧脑室注射50 ng/kg apelin-13的脑缺血再灌注损伤模型大鼠进行分析。先以高通量测序分析脑缺血再灌注模型大鼠大脑海马组织中miRNA表达谱变化,见352个miRNA表达存在差异,其中78个miRNA的表达差异大于1倍。然后以实时荧光定量PCR对其中4个表达水平发生明显变化的miRNA进行验证,得到的结果与高通量测序分析结果一致。基因本体分析结果显示,差异基因参与细胞、代谢过程、单生物代谢、细胞骨钉等生物过程。KEGG分析显示,差异基因参与代谢、MAPK、钙离子以及NF-κB信号通路。结果说明差异miRNA及靶基因在模型大鼠缺血再灌注损伤及apelin-13干预过程中发挥了重要的作用。

Abstract:

miRNAs regulate a variety of biological processes through pairing-based regulation of gene expression at the 3′ end of the noncoding region of the target miRNA. miRNAs were found to be abnormally expressed in ischemia/reperfusion injury models. High-throughput sequencing is a recently developed method for sequencing miRNAs and has been widely used in the analysis of miRNAs. In this study,ischemia/reperfusion injury models were intracerebroventricularly injected with 50 μg/kg apelin-13. High-throughput sequencing showed that 357 known miRNAs were differentially expressed among rat models, among which 78 changed to > 2-fold or < 0.5-fold. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was selected to confirm the expression levels of four miRNAs that were differentially expressed,the results of which were consistent with the results of high-throughput sequencing. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the predicted targets of the different miRNAs are particularly associated with cellular process, metabolic process, single-organism process, cell, and binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome analysis showed that the target genes are involved in metabolic pathways, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that differentially expressed miRNAs and their target genes play an important role in ischemia/reperfusion injury and neuroprotection by apelin-13.
