文题释义:
ceRNA网络:2011年,Salmena提出了一种竞争性的内源性RNA(ceRNA)假说。它描述了一个复杂的转录后水平调控网络,包括lncRNA、mRNA和其他类型的RNA,它们可以作为天然的miRNA海绵,通过共同竞争一个或多个miRNA结合位点来抑制其他RNA的功能。mRNA和lncRNA可作为ceRNA,而ceRNA通过竞争性结合miRNA位点来进行相互调节。其中,往往是lncRNA通过与miRNA的结合来隔离miRNA,从而降低了miRNA对mRNA的调控,促进mRNA的表达。
椎间盘退变:在椎间盘退变过程中,椎间盘发生了复杂的生物化学以及分子水平的改变,这些改变包括蛋白聚糖含量的减少、Ⅱ型胶原向Ⅰ型胶原的转变以及髓核组织密度的降低等,这些改变直接导致椎间盘结构的破坏,比如纤维环破裂、髓核组织突出等。然而导致椎间盘退变的具体分子机制仍不明确,目前暂无有效针对椎间盘退变的非手术治疗方案。

摘要
背景
:目前已有研究发现lncRNA GAS5激活了退变椎间盘髓核细胞(nucleus pulposus cells,NPC)内的线粒体凋亡通路,进而促进髓核细胞的凋亡。
目的:探索有关椎间盘退变的ceRNA网络调控机制,寻找治疗椎间盘退变的潜在靶点。
方法:计算机检索GEO数据库,下载lncRNA微阵列芯片GSE56081,重注释比对平台文件中的探针核酸序列,运用Perl软件将芯片系列矩阵文件中的探针ID转化为基因名,并添加基因属性。运用R软件分析系列矩阵文件得到差异的lncRNA与mRNA。在miRcode平台下载高度保守的miRNA家族文件,比对后得出lncRNA-miRNA关联。根据miRDB数据库、miRTarBase数据库和TargetScan数据库预测miRNA调控的mRNA,与芯片数据差异分析得到的差异mRNA取交集,得出miRNA-mRNA关联。构建ceRNA网络,运用String数据库分析蛋白互作关系,筛选关键蛋白互作模块。使用DAVID数据库分析关键蛋白模块的功能与相关通路,挖掘关键ceRNA网络。
结果与结论:退变椎间盘的髓核细胞中差异lncRNA与mRNA竞争miRNA,从而调控蛋白合成,最终影响泛素介导的蛋白水解、Wnt信号通路和PI3K-Akt信号通路。并发现7种miRNA(hsa-miR-107、hsa-miR-449c-5p、hsa-miR-301b-3p、hsa-miR-135a-5p、hsa-miR-17-5p、hsa-miR-20b-5p、hsa-miR-876-3p)可能在导致椎间盘退变的蛋白质分解代谢与细胞凋亡的过程中发挥关键作用。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: lncRNA GAS5 has been shown to activate the mitochondria apoptosis pathways in the nucleus pulposus cells of degenerative intervertebral disc, thus promoting pulposus apoptosis. 
OBJECTIVE: To explore the regulation mechanism of ceRNA network related to intervertebral disc degeneration and to find potential targets for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.
METHODS: The GEO database was retrieved by computer, the lncRNA microarray chip GSE56081 was downloaded, the probe nucleic acid sequence in the platform file was re-annotated, and the probe ID in the matrix file of the chip series was converted into gene name by using Perl software, and the gene category was added. The R software was used to analyze the series of matrix files to obtain differential lncRNA and mRNA. Highly conserved miRNA family files were downloaded from the miRcode platform and compared to obtain lncRNA-miRNA associations. According to the miRDB database, the miRTarBase database and the TargetScan database, the miRNA-regulated mRNA was predicted, and the differential mRNA was obtained by the difference analysis of the chip data, finally the miRNA-mRNA associations were confirmed, and the ceRNA network was set up. By using the String database to analyze protein interactions, the key protein interaction modules were screened. The DAVID database was used to analyze the function and related pathways of the genes of the key protein modules, and to discover the key ceRNA networks.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Differential lncRNA and mRNA competed for miRNA in degenerative intervertebral disc, which regulated the synthesis of protein and ultimately affected the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, Wnt signaling pathway, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Seven miRNAs (hsa-miR-107, hsa-miR-449c-5p, hsa-miR-301b-3p, hsa-miR-135a-5p, hsa-miR-17-5p, hsa-miR-20b-5p, hsa-miR-876-3p) are found which may play an important role in the protein catabolism and apoptosis, leading to degeneration of the intervertebral disc.
