ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To establish a co-expression lncRNA-mRNA ceRNA network and explore the potential molecular mechanism of lncRNA in dengue fever. 【Methods】 DENV-2-infected and normal pHUVEC were sequenced and screened for differentially expressed lncRNA and mRNA by gene microarray technology. Differentially expressed mRNA was analyzed by protein-protein interaction (PPI), and significantly related co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was screened by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The microRNA (miRNA) that bound to co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was predicted by the database. The ceRNA network of co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was constructed by Cytoscape software. Finally differentially expressed mRNAs and co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA were analyzed by GO and KEGG enrichment, and co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was verified by RT-qPCR. 【Results】 At 48 h and 72 h after infection, 105 and 51 differentially expressed mRNAs were obtained, respectively, while 59 and 29 differentially expressed lncRNAs were obtained, respectively. Furthermore, at the two time intervals, there were 10 differential mRNAs and 5 differential lncRNAs, respectively. PPI analysis of differential mRNAs showed that isocratic values of interleukin 6 (IL6), interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (IFIT2), and 2’-5’-oligoadenylate synthetase 2 (OAS2) were relatively high. The pairing results of lncRNA-mRNA co-expression analysis with the highest correlation coefficients at 48 h and 72 h after infection were XLOC_001966-SMTNL1 and XLOC_001966-ESR2, respectively. According to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, the functions of differentially expressed mRNA and co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA were mainly involved in virus epidemic prevention response, immune response, and signal transduction, as well as the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway, type I interferon, and cytokine receptor interaction. RT-qPCR revealed that lncRNA XLOC-I2-8991 was upregulated in the co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA, whereas all the other lncRNA and mRNA were downregulated. 【Conclusion】 This study initially revealed the potential lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network during dengue virus infection, and found that co-expressed lncRNA-mRNA was mainly enriched in the immune regulation and signal transduction pathways during virus infection. The findings will help further exploration into the infection mechanism of DENV-2.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the enhancement characteristics of the mass of liver and pancreas on Mn-DPDP enhanced MRI. Methods Mn-DPDP enhanced MRI were carried out in 25 cases, of which 15 cases had examined by Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI. Conventional plain with SE T 1WI、FSE T 2WI were done in all patient. SE T 1WI and FSPGR T 1WI were performed during 40 minutes～4 hours after the administration of Mn-DPDP, with a dose of 0.5 ml/kg.Parts of the patients were repeat examined 24 hours after the administration of Mn-DPDP. Results Among 10 cases of hepatocelluler carcinoma, slightly heterogeneous enhancement were found in 8 cases.hemi-ring enhancement were found in 2 cases. 2 cases of liver cirrhosis had apparently nodular homogenous enhancement and their signal intensity were higher than normal liver tissue. No enhancement were found in 2 cases of hemangioma, 2 cases of liver metastases and 1 case of hepatic cyst. Also no enhancement were found in 8 cases of pancreatic carcinoma, but the tissue of pancreas around the tumor were enhanced remarkably. Conclusion The Mn- DPDP can show remarkably enhancement of normal liver and pancreas.The medicine's peak value keeps on time grows, can provide plentiful scanning time windows.
