The functional impact of several long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) has been characterized in previous studies. However, it is difficult to identify lincRNAs on a large-scale and to ascertain their functions or predict their structures in laboratory experiments because of the diversity, lack of knowledge and specificity of expression of lincRNAs. Furthermore, although there are a few well-characterized examples of lincRNAs associated with cancers, these are just the tip of the iceberg owing to the complexity of cancer. Here, by combining RNA-Seq data from several kinds of human cell lines with chromatin-state maps and human expressed sequence tags, we successfully identified more than 3000 human lincRNAs, most of which were new ones. Subsequently, we predicted the functions of 105 lincRNAs based on a coding-non-coding gene co-expression network. Finally, we propose a genetic mediator and key regulator model to unveil the subtle relationships between lincRNAs and lung cancer. Twelve lincRNAs may be principal players in lung tumorigenesis. The present study combines large-scale identification and functional prediction of human lincRNAs, and is a pioneering work in characterizing cancer-associated lincRNAs by bioinformatics. 相似文献

<正>Liver cirrhosis is the pathologic end stage of multiple liver diseases.The major complications of liver cirrhosis,such as hepatic encephalopathy,spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and esophageal variceal bleeding are characterized by remarkable changes of the gut microbiota,which indicates that enteric dysbiosis might play an important role in the progression of liver cirrhosis[1,2].The human gastrointes- 相似文献

Although microRNAs(miRNAs) have been intensively studied in cardiac fibrosis,their roles in drug-mediated anti-fibrotic therapy are still unknown.Previously,Pioglitazone attenuated cardiac fibrosis and increased miR-711 experimentally.We aimed to explore the role and mechanism of miR-711 in pioglitazone-treated myocardial infarction in rats.Our results showed that pioglitazone significantly reduced collagen-I levels and increased miR-711 expression in myocardial infarction heart.Pioglitazone increased the expression of miR-711 in cardiac fibroblasts,and overexpression of miR-711 suppressed collagen-I levels in angiotensin II(Ang II)-treated or untreated cells.Transfection with antagomir-711 correspondingly abolished the pioglitazone-induced reduction in collagen-I levels.Bioinformatics analysis identified SP1,which directly promotes collagen-I synthesis,as the putative target of miR-711.This was confirmed by luciferase assay and western blot analysis.Additionally,increased SP1 expression was attenuated by pioglitazone in myocardial infarction heart.Furthermore,transfection of antagomir-711 attenuated pioglitazone-reduced SP1 expression in cardiac fibroblasts with or without Ang II stimulation.We conclude that pioglitazone up-regulated miR-711 to reduce collagen-I levels in rats with myocardial infarction.The miR-711-SP1-collagen-I pathway may be involved in the anti-fibrotic effects of pioglitazone.Our findings may provide new strategies for miRNA-based anti-fibrotic drug research. 相似文献

Mammals and other complex organisms can transcribe an abundance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that fulfill a wide variety of regulatory roles in many biological processes. These roles, including as scaffolds and as guides for protein-coding genes, mainly depend on the structure and expression level of lncRNAs. In this review, we focus on the current methods for analyzing lncRNA structure and expression, which is basic but necessary information for in-depth, large-scale analysis of lncRNA functions. 相似文献

Tgfbm1 (chromosome 5, P = 8 x 10(-5)) and Tgfbm3 (chromosome 12, P = 6 x 10(-11)) were identified as loci that modify developmental angiogenesis of Tgfb1 -/- mice. Congenic mice validated these loci and demonstrated epistatic interaction between them. The novel locus, Tgfbm3, encompasses approximately 22 genes, colocalizes with both tumor susceptibility and atherosclerosis susceptibility loci, and is enriched in genes regulating cell growth and morphogenesis. The use of gene knockout and/or transgenic mice that predispose to a complex trait, such as vascular development/angiogenesis, facilitates the identification of modifiers by simplifying genetic analysis. Identification of genes that modify response to lack of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) will enhance the understanding of TGFbeta1 action in vivo and may help predict which patients would respond well to anti-TGFbeta therapy. Identification of angiogenesis-modifying genes may provide new targets for angiogenesis therapies and analysis of polymorphisms therein may contribute to assessment of risk for diseases involving angiogenesis. 相似文献
