Abstract

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a novel noncoding RNA that is mostly found in humans and animals. Although the flux of circRNA research has increased in recent years, its precise function is still unclear. Some studies demonstrate that circRNAs can function as microRNA (miRNA) sponges involved in the regulation of competitive endogenous RNAs networks and play a crucial role in many biological processes. Other studies show that circRNAs play multiple biological roles in gastrointestinal diseases. However, the expression characteristics and function of circRNA in intestinal mucosal injury and repair after severe burn have not been reported. This study aims to screen differentially expressed circRNAs in intestinal mucosal injury and repair after severe burns and understand their underlying mechanisms. To test our hypothesis that circRNA may play a role in promoting repair in intestinal mucosa injury after severe burns, we collected the intestinal tissues of three severely burned mice and three pseudo-scalded mice and evaluated the expression of circRNAs via microarray analysis. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was also used to validate the circRNA microarray data by selecting six based on different multiples, original values, and p values. The host genes of all differentially expressed circRNAs and the downstream target genes of six selected DEcircRNAs were identified by Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. Meanwhile, we also created a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network to predict the role and function of circRNAs in intestinal mucosal injury and repair after severe burns.

摘要

环状 RNA(circRNA)是一种新型的非编码 RNA,主要存在于人类和动物中。尽管近年来 circRNA 研究的热潮不断增加,但它的确切功能仍不清楚。一些研究表明,circRNAs 可以作为 miRNA(miRNA)海绵,参与调控竞争内源性 RNA 网络,并在许多生物学过程中发挥关键作用。其他研究表明,circRNAs 在胃肠道疾病中发挥多种生物学作用。然而,circRNA 在严重烧伤后肠道黏膜损伤和修复中的表达特征和功能尚未报道。本研究旨在筛选严重烧伤后肠道黏膜损伤和修复过程中差异表达的 circRNA,并探讨其潜在机制。为了验证 circRNA 可能在严重烧伤后肠道黏膜损伤修复中发挥作用的假设,我们收集了 3 只严重烧伤小鼠和 3 只假烫伤小鼠的肠道组织,通过微阵列分析评估 circRNA 的表达。我们还通过选择基于不同倍数、原始值和 p 值的 6 个 circRNA 进行定量实时聚合酶链反应,验证 circRNA 微阵列数据。通过基因本体论和京都基因与基因组百科全书通路分析鉴定所有差异表达 circRNA 的宿主基因和 6 个选定 DEcircRNA 的下游靶基因。同时,我们还构建了 circRNA-miRNA-mRNA 网络,以预测 circRNA 在严重烧伤后肠道黏膜损伤和修复中的作用和功能。
