【摘要】 背景 心肌缺血再灌注(Myocardial ischemia reperfusion,MIR)不仅可能加重潜在的心血管疾病,如导致心力衰竭,加重原有的心血管疾病,还可能导致远处器官功能障碍,大大增加患者的发病率和死亡率。因此,研究MIR的分子调控网络对于更好地了解 MIR的基本过程以应用于治疗至关重要。方法 从基因表达数据库(gene expression omnibus,GEO)中下载了MIR小鼠和假手术组样本GSE148864数据集。用limma R软件包识别MIR和假手术组样本之间的差异表达的miRNAs(differentially expressed miRNAs DEmiRNAs)。利用DIANA-miRPath工具分析DEmiRNAs的生物学功能。通过受试者工作特性曲线(Receiver Operation Curves,ROC)评估DEmiRNA的诊断价值,并将曲线下面积(Areas Under Curves,AUC)大于0.85的DEmiRNA鉴定为MIR中的关键miRNA。应用miRWalk软件预测关键miRNAs调控的MRNA。使用clusterProfiler R软件包分析预测mRNA的生物学功能。TRRUST 数据库用于从预测的mRNA中提取转录因子 (transcription factors,TFs),并确定相应的靶基因。STING数据库用于预测mRNA的相互作用。通过提取miRNA-mRNA、mRNA-mRNA、miRNA-miRNA、miRNA-TF和TF-mRNA关系对,构建miRNA-TF基因调控网络。此外,还利用FANMOD软件检测了其中的四节点调控基序,以进一步确定MIR中最重要的调控基序。结果 在GSE148864数据集中,损伤样本和假手术组样本之间共发现了12个DEmiRNA,其中大部分涉及线粒体功能、脂质代谢和能量代谢相关的KEGG通路、mmu-miR-1843a-5p、mmu-miR-5621-3p、mmu-miR-5113、mmu-miR-8116、mmu-miR-144-5p、mmu-miR-3962、mmu-miR-103-3p、mmu-miR-505-5p和mmu-miR-299b-3p被确定为MIR损伤的关键miRNA,其AUC大于0.85。基于miRWalk、STRING和TRRUST数据库,构建了一个由1,466个节点和2,121临界点组成的miRNA-TF-基因网络,并通过Cytoscape软件将其可视化。此外,利用 FANMOD 工具,确定了7个三节点和15个四节点调控基团,并选择Z评分最高的ID:2182作为MIR损伤中最重要的基团。结论 我们的研究确定了9种参与MIR损伤的关键miRNA,并建立了miRNA、TFs和基因之间的调控网络。这些发现可能为今后研究MIR损伤奠定分子基础。

Abstract:

【Abstract】 Background Myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) may not only exacerbate the underlying cardiovascular illness such as leading to heart failure aggravating the original cardiovascular disease, but it may also result in distant organ dysfunction, considerably increasing patient morbidity and death. Thus, it is critical to research the molecular regulatory network in MIR to get a better understanding of the processes underlying MIR for therapeutic application. Methods Expression data of MIR and sham samples of mice in GSE148864 were downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. DEmiRNAs between MIR and sham samples were identified by limma R package. The biological function of DEmiRNAs were analyzed by DIANA-miRPath tool. The diagnostic value of DEmiRNAs were evaluated by receiver operation curves (ROC), and DEmiRNAs with the areas under curves (AUC) greater than 0.85 were identified as key miRNAs in MIR. The miRWalk software was applied to predict the mRNAs regulated by key miRNAs. The biological function of predicted mRNAs were analyzed by clusterProfiler R package. TRRUST database was used to extract the transcription factors (TFs) from predicted mRNAs and to identify corresponding target genes. STING database was used to predict the interactions of predicted mRNAs. A miRNA-TF-gene regulatory network was constructed by extracting miRNA-mRNA, mRNA-mRNA, miRNA-miRNA, miRNA-TF and TF-mRNA relation pairs. Moreover, there- and four-node regulatory motifs were detected by FANMOD software to further identify the most significant regulatory motif in MIR. Results 2 Between injury and sham samples in the GSE148864 dataset, a total of 12 DEmiRNAs were discovered, most of which were involved in mitochondrial function, lipid metabolism, and energy metabolism-related KEGG pathways. The mmu-miR-1843a-5p, mmu-miR-5621-3p, mmu-miR-5113, mmu-miR-8116, mmu-miR-144-5p, mmu-miR-3962, mmu-miR-103-3p, mmu-miR-505-5p and mmu-miR-299b-3p were identified as key miRNAs in MIR injury with AUC greater than 0.85. Based on miRWalk, STRING and TRRUST database, a miRNA-TF-gene network composed of 1,466 nodes and 2,121 edges was constructed and visualized by Cytoscape software. Furthermore, using FANMOD tool, seven three-node and 15 four-node regulatory motifs were identified, and ID: 2182 with the highest Z score was selected as the most significant motif in MIR injury. Conclusion Our research identified nine critical miRNAs involved in MIR injury and established a regulatory network between miRNAs, TFs, and genes. These discoveries might serve as a molecular foundation for future research into MIR damage.
