Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a persistent sinonasal mucosa inflammatory disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) that are involved in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP in Northern China remain unknown.
A miRCURY™ LNA Array was used to analyze miRNA profiles in nasal mucosa tissues of CRSwNP patients (n = 19) and healthy controls (n = 10). Subsequent pathways were predicted by DIANA-mirPath software.
Five upregulated miRNAs, including miR-210-5p, miR-3178, miR-585-3p, miR-3146, and miR-320e, and 19 downregulated miRNAs, including miR-32-3p, miR-1299, miR-3196, miR-3924, and miR-548e-3p, were differentially expressed (p < 0.05, fold change >2) in tissues of CRSwNP vs controls. Utilizing the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database (KEGG), which is an online database for pathway mapping, mucin type O-glycan biosynthesis pathway was significantly enriched in upregulated miRNAs. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway were significantly linked to downregulated miRNAs.
The mucin type O-glycan biosynthesis pathway and TGF-β signaling pathway are regulated by miRNAs, which could be our focus in the future studies.
伴有鼻息肉的慢性鼻-鼻窦炎(CRSwNP)是一种持续性的鼻窦黏膜炎症性疾病。在中国北方,参与 CRSwNP 发病机制的 microRNAs(miRNAs)尚不清楚。
使用 miRCURY™ LNA Array 分析了 19 例 CRSwNP 患者(n=19)和 10 例健康对照者(n=10)的鼻黏膜组织中的 miRNA 图谱。随后使用 DIANA-mirPath 软件预测了相关通路。
与对照组相比,CRSwNP 组织中存在 5 个上调 miRNA(包括 miR-210-5p、miR-3178、miR-585-3p、miR-3146 和 miR-320e)和 19 个下调 miRNA(包括 miR-32-3p、miR-1299、miR-3196、miR-3924 和 miR-548e-3p),差异具有统计学意义(p<0.05,倍数变化>2)。利用京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)数据库(KEGG 是一个用于通路映射的在线数据库)对差异表达 miRNA 进行通路分析,发现粘蛋白型 O-聚糖生物合成途径显著富集。转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)、瞬时受体电位(TRP)通道和丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)信号通路与下调的 miRNA 显著相关。
miRNAs 调控粘蛋白型 O-聚糖生物合成途径和 TGF-β 信号通路,这可能是我们未来研究的重点。
