Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of long non - coding RNA(lncRNA)in neonatal rats with hypoxic - ischemic brain damage(HIBD). Methods SD rats of 10 postnatal days were divided into the sham -operated control and the hypoxic - ischemic(HI)group. At 24 h after HI,the animals were sacrificed. HE staining was used to assess histopathological damage. Microarray was used to detect the expression of lncRNA and mRNA in hypoxic -ischemic and sham control brain. Real - time PCR was used to verify the microarray result. The differentially expressed mRNA was analyzed by gene ontology(GO),pathway and coding - noncoding RNA co - expression(CNC)network analysis. Results HE staining showed that cells in HI brains became swollen and disordered with ambiguous cell struc-ture. Microarray data demonstrated that 322 lncRNAs and 375 mRNAs were significantly altered in the neonatal brains following hypoxic - ischemic injury compared with sham control(P ﹤ 0. 05). The real - time PCR results agreed with those of the microarray. GO analysis showed that the most enriched biological process associated with the upregulated mRNA had response to wounding,whereas the biological process mostly enriched among the downregulated mRNA was so-matic stem cell division. Pathway analysis indicated that upregulated mRNA was primarily corresponded with cytokine -cytokine receptor interaction pathway and that downregulated mRNA mainly correlated to axon guidance pathway. CNC network analysis demonstrated that 177 lncRNAs were correlated to the expression of mRNA involved in inflammation and cell death(P ﹤0. 05). Conclusions HI injury significantly influences cerebral lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in the neonatal rat brains. Deregulated lncRNAs might contribute to the pathogenesis of HIBD via interacting with mRNA.
