摘要:

文题释义:
高通量测序:又称“下一代”测序技术,以能一次并行对几十万到几百万条DNA分子进行序列测定和一般读长较短等为标志。目前应用最多的是人全外显子组捕获测序,因为外显子组测序的数据分析计算量较小,与生物学表型结合更为直接,高通量测序开始广泛应用于寻找疾病的候选基因上。
circRNA:为circular RNAs(环状RNA分子)的简写,是一类不具有5’ 末端帽子和3’ 末端poly(A)尾巴,并以共价键形成环形结构的非编码RNA分子。部分circRNA分子含miRNA应答元件(miRNAresponse element,MRE),可充当竞争性内源RNA(competing endogenousRNA,ceRNA),与miRNA结合,在细胞中起到miRNA海绵的作用,进而解除miRNA对其靶基因的抑制作用,上调靶基因的表达水平。

背景:研究表明环状RNA(circRNA)是广泛存在于多种组织中的内源性非编码RNA,可充当microRNA(miRNA)的“海绵”调节哺乳动物的基因表达。但circRNA在骨质疏松症中的表达特征和分子机制以及其潜在的circRNA-miRNA-mRNA调控网络尚未有相关报道。
目的:基于骨质疏松相关非编码RNA高通量测序数据,构建互作网络及功能富集分析,筛选可能通过竞争性内源RNA(ceRNA)机制,并对筛选出的参与骨质疏松发生发展的circRNA进行功能和机制验证。
方法:利用GEO数据库中的骨质疏松非编码RNA高通量测序数据,构建circRNA-miRNA -mRNA网络。随后,对miRNA预测的共表达靶基因进行GO和KEGG分析。采用人间充质干细胞诱导成骨细胞分化,qRT-PCR和Western blot检测筛选出的circ_0076906和其靶向的miR-29b及骨糖蛋白mRNA和蛋白的表达,碱性磷酸酶活性和茜素红染色检测骨形成情况,荧光素酶报告实验以检测基因之间的相互作用。
结果与结论:①实验从GEO数据库中最终筛选了5个共表达circRNA(如circ_0076906,circ_0004276和circ_0003060等)、10个共表达miRNA(如miR-183-5p,miR-29b和hsa-miR-15b-3p等)以及241个共表达mRNA(如骨糖蛋白基因、SMARCC1和LRP6等),并成功构建了骨质疏松相关circRNA-miRNA-mRNA网络;②GO分析结果揭示了78个生物过程,其主要包括成骨细胞增殖、凋亡和迁移等功能;③KEGG分析FoxO信号通路和PI3K-AKT信号通路传导途径与骨质疏松发生发展密切相关;④对筛选出的差异显著同时有靶向关系的circ_0076906、miR-29b和骨糖蛋白验证结果显示,circ_0076906、miR-29b及骨糖蛋白基因在疏松症患者和对照组骨组织和血清中均呈差异表达,circ_0076906可诱导成骨分化,其沉默可抑制人间充质干细胞的成骨相关基因(骨钙素和RUNX2)表达,circ_0076906可充当miR-29b调节的骨糖蛋白基因表达的海绵;⑤上述数据说明,实验成功构建了骨质疏松circRNA-miRNA-mRNA网络,筛选出的circ_0076906和其靶向的miR-29b及骨糖蛋白基因可能在骨质疏松进展中发挥重要作用;实验进一步证实了人间充质干细胞中circ_0076906通过竞争性抑制miR-29b从而促进骨糖蛋白表达,缓解骨质疏松症并促进成骨分化。该研究方案经新疆医科大学第七附属医院伦理委员会批准,批准号:XY20190501-1。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that circular RNA (circRNA) is an endogenous non-coding RNA widely present in a variety of tissues, which can act as a "sponge" of microRNA (miRNA) to regulate mammalian gene expression. However, the expression characteristics and molecular mechanism of circRNA in osteoporosis and its potential circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network have not been reported yet.
OBJECTIVE: Based on the high-throughput and high-throughput sequencing data of osteoporosis-related non-coding RNAs, to construct an interaction network and functional enrichment analysis, screen the possible mechanisms of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), and verify the function and mechanism of circRNAs involved in the development of osteoporosis. 
METHODS: The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed using the high-throughput sequencing data of liver cancer non-coding RNA in the GEO database. Subsequently, GO and KEGG analyses were performed on the co-expressed target genes predicted by miRNA. Through human mesenchymal stem cells-induced osteoblast differentiation, qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of circ_0076906 and its targeted miR-29b and osteoglycoprotein (OGN) at mRNA and protein levels. Alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red staining were used to detect bone formation, and luciferase reporter assay used to detect gene interactions.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experiment finally screened 5 co-expressed circRNAs (such as circ_0076906, circ_0004276 and circ_0003060, etc.), 10 co-expressed miRNAs (such as miR-183-5p, miR-29b and hsa-miR-15b-3p, etc.), and 241 co-expressed mRNAs (such as OGN, SMARCC1 and LRP6, etc.) from the GEO database, to successfully construct a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network related to osteoporosis. GO analysis results revealed 78 biological processes, mainly including osteoblast proliferation, apoptosis and migration. KEGG analysis results indicated that FoxO signaling pathway and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway were closely related to the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. The verification results of circ_0076906, miR-29b and OGN, which have significant differences and target relationships, showed that circ_0076906, miR-29b and OGN were differentially expressed in the bone tissue and serum of patients with porosity and the control group. circ_0076906 could induce osteogenic differentiation, and its silencing could inhibit the expression of osteogenic genes (OCN and RUNX2) in human mesenchymal stem cells. circ_0076906 could act as miR-29b regulated OGN expression sponge. The above-mentioned data show that the osteoporosis circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network is successfully established in this study, and circ_0076906 and its targeted miR-29b and OGN screened out may play an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. The study further confirms that circ_0076906 in hMSCs promotes OGN expression by competitively inhibiting miR-29b, alleviating osteoporosis and promoting osteogenic differentiation.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University (approval No.XY20190501-1).
