Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are longer than >?200 nt, perform various functions in a variety of important biological processes. The aim of this study is the investigation of relative expression levels of AK372815 putative pyridoxal reductase (PLR) gene and sense lncRNA AK370814 on four barley genotypes (Hasat, Beysehir 99, Konevi 98 and Tarm 92) in response to 150 mM salinity application during 3 days post-germination. Seeds were placed randomly in petri dishes containing (a) only H2O (control), (b) 150 mM NaCl, for 72 h. RNA isolation was carried out using TriPure® reagent from 150 mM salt-treated root and shoot samples. Relative expression levels of AK372815 PLR and sense lncRNA AK370814 were determined by qPCR. Results demonstrated that salinity affected the expression levels of both AK372815 PLR gene and sense lncRNA AK370814 during germination. Although expression levels of AK372815 PLR tended to be down-regulated under salinity, expression levels of sense lncRNA AK370814 were up-regulated. Another goal of this study is improvement of alternative approach to NGS technologies for determination of relative expression levels of sense lncRNAs under particular circumstances. This is the first report that demonstrates a relationship between lncRNA and vitamin B6 salvage pathway. 相似文献

Genetics is considered as an important risk factor in the pathological changes of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Substantia nigra (SN) is thought to be the most vulnerable area in this process. In recent decades, however, few related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the SN of PD patients had been identified and the functions of those lncRNAs had been studied even less. In this study, we sought to investigate the lncRNA expression profiles and their potential functions in the SN of PD patients. We screened lncRNA expression profiles in the SN of PD patients using the lncRNA mining approach from the ArrayExpress database, which included GSE20295. The samples were from 11 of PD and 14 of normal tissue samples. We identified 87 lncRNAs that were altered significantly in the SN during the occurrence of PD. Among these lncRNAs, lncRNA AL049437 and lncRNA AK021630 varied most dramatically. AL049437 was up-regulated in the PD samples, while AK021630 was down-regulated. Based on the results, we focused on the potential roles of the two lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of PD by the knockdown of the expression of AL049437 or AK021630 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. Results indicated that the reduction in AL049437 level increased cell viability, mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψm), mitochondrial mass, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TyrH) secretion. By contrast, the knockdown of AK021630 resulted in the opposite effect. Based on these results, we speculated that lncRNA AL049437 likely contributed to the risk of PD, while lncRNA AK021630 likely inhibited the occurrence of PD. 相似文献

lncRNAs are an emerging class of regulators involved in multiple biological processes. MEG3, an lncRNA, acts as a tumor suppressor, has been reported to be linked with osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. However, limited knowledge is available concerning the roles of MEG3 in the multilineage differentiation of hASCs. The current study demonstrated that MEG3 was downregulated during adipogenesis and upregulated during osteogenesis of hASCs. Further functional analysis showed that knockdown of MEG3 promoted adipogenic differentiation, whereas inhibited osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. Mechanically, MEG3 may execute its role via regulating miR-140-5p. Moreover, miR-140-5p was upregulated during adipogenesis and downregulated during osteogenesis in hASCs, which was negatively correlated with MEG3. In conclusion, MEG3 participated in the balance of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hASCs, and the mechanism may be through regulating miR-140-5p. 相似文献

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) isolated from human umbilical Wharton’s Jelly are a population of primitive and pluripotent cells. In specific conditions, hUCMSCs can differentiate into various cells, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, neurocytes, and endothelial cells. However, few studies have assessed their differentiation into epidermal cells in vitro. To assess the potential of hUCMSCs to differentiate into epidermal cells, a microporous membrane-based indirect co-culture system was developed in this study. Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) were seeded on the bottom of the microporous membrane, and hUCMSCs were seeded on the top of the microporous membrane. Cell morphology was assessed by phase contrast microscopy, and the expression of early markers of epidermal cell lineage, P63, cytokeratin19 (CK19), and β1-integrin, was determined by immunofluorescence, Western blot, and quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) analyses. hUCMSC morphology changed from spindle-like to oblate or irregular with indirect co-culture with ESCs; they also expressed greater levels P63, CK19, and β1-integrin mRNA and protein compared to the controls (p < 0.01). As compared to normal co-cultures, indirect co-culture expressed significantly greater CK19 protein (p < 0.01). Thus, hUCMSCs may have the capability to differentiate into the epidermal lineage in vitro, which may be accomplished through this indirect co-culture model. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used for tissue regeneration in several pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases. However, the optimal sources and culture requirements for these cells are still under investigation. Here, we compared mRNA expression in dermal MSCs (DMSCs) at passage (P) 3 and P5 to provide a reference for future studies related to DMSCs expansion. In normal DMSCs, the expression of three of eight genes associated with basic cellular activity were different at P5 compared to that at P3: PLCB4 and SYTL2 were upregulated by 4.30- and 6.42-fold, respectively (P < 0.05), whereas SATB2 was downregulated by 39.25-fold (P < 0.05). At the same time, genes associated with proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, and apoptosis were expressed at similar levels at P3 and P5 (P > 0.05). In contrast, in DMSCs isolated from psoriatic patients we observed differential expression of three inflammation-associated genes at P5 compared to P3; thus IL6, IL8, and CXCL6 mRNA levels were upregulated by 16.02-, 31.15-, and 15.04-fold, respectively. Our results indicate that normal and psoriatic DMSCs showed different expression patterns for genes related to inflammation and basic cell activity at P3 and P5, whereas those for genes linked to proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis were mostly similar. 相似文献

Recently, a large number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported in human diseases that are evolutionarily conserved and are likely to play a role in many biological events including pre-eclampsia. In our previous research, we selected thousands of lncRNAs for their relationship with early-onset pre-eclampsia. Among these lncRNAs, a lncRNA named uc.294 attracted our attention, was once reported to specifically be expressed at a high level in the early-onset of pre-eclampsia. This study aims to investigate the function of uc.294 in early-onset pre-eclampsia and the possible mechanism. The uc.294 expression level in early-onset pre-eclampsia or in normal placenta tissues was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. To detect the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis capacity of the trophoblast cells, we performed the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Here we report, for the first time, that uc.294 inhibits proliferation, invasion, and promotes apoptosis of trophoblast cells HTR-8/SVneo by working in key aspects of biological behaviors. However, how uc.294 acts to regulate gene functions in early-onset pre-eclampsia needs further exploration. 相似文献

Recent studies have demonstrated the utility and superiority of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as novel biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. In the present study, the prognostic value of lncRNAs in glioblastoma multiforme was systematically investigated by performing a genome-wide analysis of lncRNA expression profiles in 419 glioblastoma patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. Using survival analysis and Cox regression model, we identified a set of six lncRNAs (AC005013.5, UBE2R2-AS1, ENTPD1-AS1, RP11-89C21.2, AC073115.6, and XLOC_004803) demonstrating an ability to stratify patients into high- and low-risk groups with significantly different survival (median 0.899 vs. 1.611 years, p = 3.87e?09, log-rank test) in the training cohort. The six-lncRNA signature was successfully validated on independent test cohort of 219 patients with glioblastoma, and it revealed superior performance for risk stratification with respect to existing lncRNA-related signatures. Multivariate Cox and stratification analysis indicated that the six-lncRNA signature was an independent prognostic factor after adjusting for other clinical covariates. Further in silico functional analysis suggested that the six-lncRNA signature may be involved in the immune-related biological processes and pathways which are very well known in the context of glioblastoma tumorigenesis. The identified lncRNA signature had important clinical implication for improving outcome prediction and guiding the tailored therapy for glioblastoma patients with further prospective validation. 相似文献

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary zinc oxide (ZnO) on the antioxidant capacity, small intestine development, and jejunal gene expression in weaned piglets. Ninety-six 21-day-old piglets were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments. Each treatment had eight replicates with four piglets per replicate. The piglets were fed either control diet (control) or control diet supplemented with in-feed antibiotics (300 mg/kg chlortetracycline and 60 mg/kg colistin sulfate) or pharmacological doses of ZnO (3000 mg/kg). The experiment lasted 4 weeks. Blood samples were collected at days 14 and 28, while intestinal samples were harvested at day 28 of the experiment. Dietary high doses of ZnO supplementation significantly increased the body weight (BW) at day 14 and average daily gain (ADG) of days 1 to 14 in weaned piglets, when compared to control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of diarrhea of piglets fed ZnO-supplemented diets, at either days 1 to 14, days 14 to 28, or the overall experimental period, was significantly decreased in comparison with those in other groups (P < 0.05). Supplementation with ZnO increased the villus height of the duodenum and ileum in weaned piglets and decreased the crypt depth of the duodenum, when compared to the other groups (P < 0.05). Dietary ZnO supplementation decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration at either day 14 or day 28, but increased total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) at day 14, when compared to that in the control (P < 0.05). ZnO supplementation upregulated the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin in the jejunum mucosa of weaned piglets, compared to those in the control (P < 0.05). The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-lβ (IL-1β) mRNA expression in the jejunum mucosa was downregulated in the ZnO-supplemented group, compared with the control (P < 0.05). Both in-feed antibiotics and ZnO supplementation decreased the mRNA expression of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), but increased the mRNA expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), in the jejunum mucosa of piglets, when compared to those in the control (P < 0.05). In summary, supplemental ZnO was effective on the prevention of post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in weaned piglets and showed comparative growth-promoting effect on in-feed antibiotics, probably by the mechanism of improvement of the antioxidant capacity, restoration of intestinal barrier function and development, and modulation of immune functions. 相似文献

In this study, we developed a unique in vitro model to mimic the endogenous tumor microenvironment to understand the effect of immunotherapy with activated T-cells (ATC) armed with anti-CD3 × anti-Her2 bispecific antibody (aATC) on antibody response by naive immune cells. This model contained a co-culture of naïve peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), breast cancer cells (SK-BR-3), ATC or aATC and CpG ODNs. Culture supernatants were tested at various time points for anti-SK-BR-3 antibodies by ELISA, Western blot and flow cytometry. PBMC cocultured with non-irradiated aATC or irradiated (*) aATC showed significant increases in anti-tumor antibody production at day 14 (P < 0.0001) in the presence of CpG-ODN compared to unstimulated PBMC cultures (n = 9). Antibody specificity was confirmed by ELISA, Western blot and flow cytometry. Co-cultures containing *aATC and CpG showed significantly enhanced levels of IgG2 (P < 0.001) and cytokines that promote IgG2 synthesis including IL-13 (P < 0.02), IFNγ (P < 0.01) and GM-CSF (P < 0.05) compared to unstimulated PBMC control (n = 3). We show that aATC targeting and lysis of tumor cells induces an anti-tumor antibody response in our in vitro model. This model provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the interactions of T-cells, B-cells, and antigen-presenting cells leading to specific anti-tumor antibody responses. 相似文献

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia worldwide, is a complex neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of memory and other cognitive functions. The pathogenesis of AD is not yet completely understood. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been shown to play a role in AD pathogenesis, the specific influences of lncRNAs in AD remain largely unknown; in particular, hippocampal lncRNA expression profiles in AD rats are lacking. In this study, microarray analysis was performed to investigate the hippocampal expression patterns of dysregulated lncRNAs in a rat model of AD. A total of 315 lncRNAs and 311 mRNAs were found to be significantly dysregulated in the AD model (≥2.0 fold, p < 0.05). Then, quantitative real-time PCR was used to validate the expression of selected lncRNAs and mRNAs. Bioinformatics tools and databases were employed to explore the potential lncRNA functions. This is the first study to comprehensively identify dysregulated hippocampal lncRNAs in AD and to demonstrate the involvement of different lncRNA expression patterns in the hippocampal pathogenesis of AD. This information will enable further research on the pathogenesis of AD and facilitate the development of novel AD therapeutics targeting lncRNAs. 相似文献
