LncRNAs and their regulatory networks in breast muscle tissue of Chinese Gushi chicken during postnatal late development

Abstract Background: Chicken skeletal muscle is an important economic product. Late stages of chicken development are the main period that affects meat production. LncRNAs play important roles in controlling the epigenetic process of growth and development. However, studies on the role of lncRNAs in the late stages of chicken breast muscle development are still lacking. In this study, in order to study the expression characteristics of lncRNAs during chicken muscle development, 12 cDNA libraries were constructed from Gushi chicken breast muscle samples from 6-, 14-, 22-, and 30-week-old chickens. Results: Therefore, a total of 1,252 new lncRNAs and 1,376 annotated lncRNAs were identified. Furthermore, 53, 61, 50, 153, 117, and 78 DE-lncRNAs were found in the W14 vs. W6, W22 vs. W14, W22 vs. W6, W30 vs. W6, W30 vs. W14 , and W30 vs. W22 comparison groups, respectively. After GO enrichment analysis of the DE-lncRNAs, several muscle development-related GO terms were found in the W22 vs. W14 comparison group. Furthermore, it was found that the MAPK signaling pathway was one of the most frequently enriched pathways in the different comparison groups. In addition, 12 common target DE-miRNAs of DE-lncRNAs were found in different comparison groups, some of which were muscle-specific miRNAs, such as gga-miR-206, gga-miR-1a-3p, and miR-133a-3p. Interestingly, the precursors of four newly identified miRNAs were found to be homologous to lncRNAs. Furthermore, we found some ceRNA networks associated with muscle development-related GO terms. For example, the ceRNA networks containing the DYNLL2 gene with 12 lncRNAs that targeted 2 miRNAs. In addition, we also constructed PPI networks, such as IGF-I - EGF and FZD6 - WNT11 , etc. Conclusions: This study for the first time revealed the dynamic changes of lncRNA expression in Gushi chicken breast muscle at different periods, and reveal the MAPK signaling pathway play a vital role in muscle development. Furthermore, MEF2C and its target lncRNA may be involved in muscle regulation through the MAPK signaling pathway. This research provided valuable resources for elucidating post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms for postpartum development of chicken breast muscle.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary malignant bone tumors in teenagers. Emerging studies demonstrated TWEAK and Fn14 were involved in regulating cancer cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. Objective: The present study identified differently expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs after anti-TWEAK treatment in OS cells using GSE41828. Methods: We identified 922 up-regulated mRNAs, 863 downregulated mRNAs, 29 up-regulated lncRNAs, and 58 down-regulated lncRNAs after anti-TWEAK treatment in OS cells. By constructing PPI networks, we identified several key proteins involved in anti-TWEAK treatment in OS cells, including MYC, IL6, CD44, ITGAM, STAT1, CCL5, FN1, PTEN, SPP1, TOP2A, and NCAM1. By constructing lncRNAs coexpression networks, we identified several key lncRNAs, including LINC00623, LINC00944, PSMB8-AS1, LOC101929787. Result: Bioinformatics analysis revealed DEGs after anti-TWEAK treatment in OS were involved in regulating type I interferon signaling pathway, immune response related pathways, telomere organization, chromatin silencing at rDNA, and DNA replication. Bioinformatics analysis revealed differently expressed lncRNAs after antiTWEAK treatment in OS were related to telomere organization, protein heterotetramerization, DNA replication, response to hypoxia, TNF signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Focal adhesion, Apoptosis, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway. Conclusion: : This study provided useful information for understanding the mechanisms of TWEAK underlying OS progression and identifying novel therapeutic markers for OS.

Conclusion: Stroke is a complex disease caused by genetic and environmental factors, and its etiological mechanism has not been fully clarified yet, which brings great challenges to its effective prevention and treatment. MAPK signaling pathway regulates gene expression of eukaryotic cells and basic cellular processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, metabolism and apoptosis, which are considered as therapeutic targets for many diseases. Up to now, mounting evidence has shown that MAPK signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis and development of ischemic stroke. However, the upstream kinase and downstream kinase of MAPK signaling pathway are complex and the influencing factors are numerous, the exact role of MAPK signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke has not been fully elucidated. MAPK signaling molecules in different cell types in the brain respond variously after stroke injury, therefore, the present review article is committed to summarizing the pathological process of different cell types participating in stroke, discussed the mechanism of MAPK participating in stroke. We further elucidated that MAPK signaling pathway molecules can be used as therapeutic targets for stroke, thus promoting the prevention and treatment of stroke.
