摘要:


文题释义:

雏菊叶龙胆酮:又名雏菊叶龙胆素、龙胆山酮酚,主要存在于龙胆科獐牙菜属、假龙胆属、龙胆属植物中。雏菊叶龙胆酮作为一种天然酮类化合物具有多种药理活性,如抗氧化、抑制胆碱酯酶及单胺氧化酶、保护心血管系统及缺血性脑损伤、降血糖、抗菌等作用。
长链非编码RNA(lncRNA):一般是指大于200 nt的RNA,不参与或很少参与蛋白编码功能,位于细胞核内或胞浆内。大部分lncRNA由RNA聚合酶Ⅱ催化转录而来,但其序列保守性不高且表达丰度较低,在组织和细胞中表现出较强的特异性。目前的研究表明lncRNA参与了各种重要的调控过程,例如X染色体沉默、基因组印记、染色质修饰、转录激活、转录干扰和核内转运等。


背景:有研究表明,长链非编码RNA(long non-coding RNA,lncRNA)在心脏疾病的发生和发展中发挥了重要作用,其是否参与雏菊叶龙胆酮拮抗阿霉素诱导的小鼠心脏损伤目前未见报道。

目的:筛选雏菊叶龙胆酮改善阿霉素诱导心肌损伤小鼠心肌组织中差异表达的lncRNA,并对其进行生物信息学分析。
方法:取48只C57小鼠,采用随机数字表法分为正常组、模型组、雏菊叶龙胆酮组和阳性药组,每组12只。模型组、雏菊叶龙胆酮组和阳性药组小鼠腹腔注射阿霉素,隔日一次,共8次;雏菊叶龙胆酮组和阳性药组在注射阿霉素的基础上分别灌胃给予雏菊叶龙胆酮悬浊液、卡托普利溶液,1次/d,连续给药21 d。给药结束后,进行心电图检查与心肌组织病理形态观察,同时对小鼠心肌组织进行高通量测序分析,筛选出差异表达的lncRNA,对差异表达的lncRNA进行靶基因预测,并对靶基因进行GO富集与KEGG信号通路分析。

结果与结论:①模型组小鼠心电图ST段明显抬高,雏菊叶龙胆酮组小鼠心电图ST段抬高程度减轻;苏木精-伊红、Masson及天狼猩红染色显示,模型组小鼠心肌组织中心肌胞浆着色不均,颜色深浅不一,心肌纤维完整性及连续性较差,可见大量胶原纤维沉积;雏菊叶龙胆酮处理后小鼠心肌组织异常情况有所改善。②高通量测序分析结果显示,与模型组相比,雏菊叶龙胆酮组小鼠心肌组织识别出差异表达lncRNA共270个,其中表达上调的lncRNA有165个,表达下调的lncRNA有105个。结合实验结果与相关文献,最终获得3条LncRNA(NONMMUT149833.1、NONMMUT003237.2、ENSMUST00000219015)及4个相关mRNAs(Alas2、Igf2、Acta1、Cilp)。靶基因预测、GO富集与KEGG信号通路分析结果显示,雏菊叶龙胆酮处理后,心肌损伤小鼠心肌组织中差异表达的 lncRNA可通过顺式(cis-)和/或反式(trans-)调控来调节其靶蛋白编码基因的表达,参与调控分子功能及生物过程等。③结果显示,雏菊叶龙胆酮可显著改善阿霉素诱导心肌损伤小鼠的心功能和部分lncRNA表达。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: It has been shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in the development and progression of cardiac diseases, and whether it is involved in daisy leaf gentianone antagonizing adriamycin-induced cardiac injury in mice has not been reported.
OBJECTIVE: To screen differentially expressed lncRNAs in myocardial tissue of mice with adriamycin-induced myocardial injury antagonized with daisy leaf gentianone and conduct a bioinformatics analysis.
METHODS: Forty-eight C57 mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, daisy leaf gentianone group and positive drug group, with 12 mice in each group. The mice in the model group, daisy leaf gentianone group and positive drug group were injected with adriamycin intraperitoneally once every other day for 8 times in total. The daisy leaf gentianone group and positive drug group were given daisy leaf gentianone suspension and captopril solution by gavage based on adriamycin injection once a day for 21 continuous days. After medication, mice in each group underwent electrocardiogram examination and the myocardial tissue was taken for pathomorphological observation. At the same time, high-throughput sequencing analysis of mouse myocardial tissue was carried out, differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened, and target genes were predicted for differentially expressed lncRNAs. Gene ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes signaling pathway analyses of target genes were performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The ST segment of the electrocardiogram of mice in the model group was significantly elevated. Compared with the model group, the degree of ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram was reduced in the daisy leaf gentianone group. Results from hematoxylin-eosin, Masson, and Sirius red staining indicated that in the model group, the myocardial cytoplasm was unevenly colored with varying shades of color, the integrity and continuity of myocardial fibers were poor, and a large number of collagen fibers were deposited. After treatment with gentianone daisy leaves, the abnormalities in myocardial tissue of mice were improved. The results of high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that compared with the model group, a total of 270 lncRNAs were identified in the myocardial tissue of mice in the daisy leaf gentianone group, including 165 up-regulated and 105 down-regulated lncRNAs. Combining the experimental results with related literature, three lncRNAs (NONMMUT149833.1, NONMMUT003237.2, and ENSMUST00000219015) and four related mRNAs (Alas2, Igf2, Acta1, and Cilp) were finally identified. The results of target gene prediction, gene ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes signaling pathway analyses showed that differentially expressed lncRNAs in myocardial tissue of mice with myocardial injury could regulate the expression of their target protein-coding genes through cis- and/or trans-regulation, and participate in regulating molecular functions and biological processes. To conclude, daisy leaf gentianone significantly improves cardiac function and partial lncRNA expression in mice with adriamycin-induced myocardial injury.
