Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression changes of lncRNAs and mRNAs in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) treated by tritiated water.Methods:HUVEC cells were divided into two groups, the control group cultured in DMEM medium, and the tritiated water exposure group cultured in a medium containing tritiated water with a final concentraion of 3.7×10 3 Bq/ml. After culture for 48 h, cells were collected for RNA extract.The differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were screened by high-through put chip technology and then analyzed. Results:Compared with the control group, 1 717 lncRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 3 994 lncRNAs significantly down-regulated, and 4 562 mRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 1 433 mRNAs down-regulated. Through co-expression analysis of differential mRNAs and lncRNAs, some key genes including SQSTM1, CXCL8, ITPR1, GADD45A, NF-kB1 and VDAC1 were obtained.Conclusions:Tritiated water exposure can induce multiple changes of mRNAs and lncRNAs in vascular endothelial cells, which may lead to toxic effects through signaling pathways including some key genes such as SQSTM1, CXCL8, and ITPR1.
