[PMID: 38735080 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders and is mainly characterized by low mood or lack of interest and pleasure. It can be accompanied by varying degrees of cognitive and behavioral changes and may lead to suicide risk in severe cases. Due to the subjectivity of diagnostic methods and the complexity of patients' conditions, the diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) has always been a difficult problem in psychiatry. With the discovery of more diagnostic biomarkers associated with MDD in recent years, especially emerging non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), it is possible to quantify the condition of patients with mental illness based on biomarker levels. Point-of-care biosensors have emerged due to their advantages of convenient sampling, rapid detection, miniaturization, and portability. After summarizing the pathogenesis of MDD, representative biomarkers, including proteins, hormones, and RNAs, are discussed. Furthermore, we analyzed recent advances in biosensors for detecting various types of biomarkers of MDD, highlighting representative electrochemical sensors. Future trends in terms of new biomarkers, new sample processing methods, and new detection modalities are expected to provide a complete reference for psychiatrists and biomedical engineers.

Zhang M, Wu L, Zhang S, Li Y, Chen J. Non-coding RNA alterations in occlusal disharmony-induced anxiety-like behaviour. J Oral Rehabil 2024. [PMID: 39049786 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Occlusal disharmony (OD) may induce anxiety-like behaviours; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we explored the expression profiles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), along with their biological function and regulatory network, in anxiety-like behaviour induced by OD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Occlusal disharmony was produced by anterior crossbite of C57BL/6 mice. Behavioural tests, corticosterone (CORT) and serotonin (5-HT) levels were used to measure anxiety. In addition, RNA sequencing was used to screen all differentially expressed (DE) ncRNAs. Moreover, the RNA-binding proteins interacting with ncRNAs were predicted by the ENCORI database and confirmed using western blots. RESULTS The significant differences in behavioural tests and CORT suggested the successful induction of anxiety-like behaviour by OD. In OD mice, ncRNAs were significantly dysregulated. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses suggested that the DE ncRNAs were enriched in anxiety-related pathways. CircRNA10039 was upregulated, and PTBP1 was predicted to interact with circRNA10039. In addition, KEGG pathway analysis showed that PTBP1 may be associated with messenger RNA biogenesis and spliceosomes. CONCLUSION OD induced by anterior crossbite can lead to the anxiety-like behaviours. During this process, ncRNA also changes. CircRNA10039 and PTBP1 may play a role in OD-induced anxiety-like behaviours.

Abstract
Air pollution is one of the greatest environmental risks to health, with 99% of the world's population living where the World Health Organization's air quality guidelines were not met. In addition to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the brain is another potential target of air pollution. Population- and experiment-based studies have shown that air pollution may affect mental health through direct or indirect biological pathways. The evidence for mental hazards associated with air pollution has been well documented. However, previous reviews mainly focused on epidemiological associations of air pollution with some specific mental disorders or possible biological mechanisms. A systematic review is absent for early effect biomarkers for characterizing mental health hazards associated with ambient air pollution, which can be used for early warning of related mental disorders and identifying susceptible populations at high risk. This review summarizes possible biomarkers involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, and epigenetic changes linking air pollution and mental disorders, as well as genetic susceptibility biomarkers. These biomarkers may provide a better understanding of air pollution's adverse effects on mental disorders and provide future research direction in this arena.

Abstract
Early-life adversities, whether prenatal or postnatal exposure, have been linked to adverse mental health outcomes later in life increasing the risk of several psychiatric disorders. Research on its neurobiological consequences demonstrated an association between exposure to adversities and persistent alterations in the structure, function, and connectivity of the brain. Consistent evidence supports the idea that regulation of gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms are involved in embedding the impact of early-life experiences in the genome and mediate between social environments and later behavioral phenotypes. In addition, studies from rodent models and humans suggest that these experiences and the acquired risk factors can be transmitted through epigenetic mechanisms to offspring and the following generations potentially contributing to a cycle of disease or disease risk. However, one of the important aspects of epigenetic mechanisms, unlike genetic sequences that are fixed and unchangeable, is that although the epigenetic markings are long-lasting, they are nevertheless potentially reversible. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the mental health consequences derived from early-life exposure to malnutrition, maltreatment and poverty, adversities with huge and pervasive impact on mental health. We also discuss the evidence about transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in mammals and experimental data suggesting that suitable social and pharmacological interventions could reverse adverse epigenetic modifications induced by early-life negative social experiences. In this regard, these studies must be accompanied by efforts to determine the causes that promote these adversities and that result in health inequity in the population.

Abstract
Depressive disorders have a significant impact on public health, and depression have an unsatisfactory recurrence rate and are challenging to treat. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNAs that do not code protein, which have been shown to be crucial for transcriptional regulation. NcRNAs are important to the onset, progress and treatment of depression because they regulate various physiological functions. This makes them distinctively useful as biomarkers for diagnosing and tracking responses to therapy among individuals with depression. It is important to seek out and summarize the research findings on the impact of ncRNAs on depression since significant advancements have been made in this area recently. Hence, we methodically outlined the findings of published researches on ncRNAs and depression, focusing on microRNAs. Above all, this review aims to improve our understanding of ncRNAs and provide new insights of the diagnosis and treatment of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disability with significant mortality risk. Despite progress in our understanding of the etiology of MDD, the underlying molecular changes in the brain remain poorly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bound particles that can reflect the molecular signatures of the tissue of origin. We aimed to optimize a streamlined EV isolation protocol from postmortem brain tissue and determine whether EV RNA cargo, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), have an MDD-specific profile. METHODS EVs were isolated from postmortem human brain tissue. Quality was assessed using western blots, transmission electron microscopy, and microfluidic resistive pulse sensing. EV RNA was extracted and sequenced on Illumina platforms. Functional follow-up was performed in silico. RESULTS Quality assessment showed an enrichment of EV markers, as well as a size distribution of 30 to 200 nm in diameter, and no contamination with cellular debris. Small RNA profiling indicated the presence of several RNA biotypes, with miRNAs and transfer RNAs being the most prominent. Exploring miRNA levels between groups revealed decreased expression of miR-92a-3p and miR-129-5p, which was validated by qPCR and was specific to EVs and not seen in bulk tissue. Finally, in silico functional analyses indicate potential roles for these 2 miRNAs in neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. CONCLUSION We provide a streamlined isolation protocol that yields EVs of high quality that are suitable for molecular follow-up. Our findings warrant future investigations into brain EV miRNA dysregulation in MDD.

Abstract
Introduction: Biomarkers can be used to identify determinants of response to various treatments of mental disorders. Evidence to date demonstrates that markers of inflammatory, neurotransmitter, neurotrophic, neuroendocrine, and metabolic function can predict the psychological and physical consequences of depression in individuals, allowing for the development of new therapeutic targets with fewer side effects. Extensive research has included hundreds of potential biomarkers of depression, but their roles in depression, abnormal patients, and how bioinformatics can be used to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis have not been determined or defined. To determine which biomarkers can and cannot be used to predict treatment response, classify patients for specific treatments, and develop targets for new interventions, proprietary strategies, and current research projects need to be tailored.Material and Methods: This review article focuses on - biomarker systems that would help in the further development and expansion of newer targets - which holds great promise for reducing the burden of depression.Results and Discussion: Further, this review point to the inflammatory response, metabolic marker, and microribonucleic acids, long non-coding RNAs, HPA axis which are - related to depression and can serve as future targets.

Abstract
Although, by definition, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are not translated, they are sometimes associated with ribosomes. In fact, some estimates suggest the existence of more than 50 K lncRNA molecules that could encode for small peptides. We examined the effects of an ethanol and Poly-ADP Ribose Polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (ABT-888) on ribosome-bound lncRNAs. Mice were administered via intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) either normal saline (CTL) or ethanol (EtOH) twice a day for four consecutive days. On the fourth day, a sub-group of mice administered with ethanol also received ABT-888 (EtOH+ABT). Ribosome-bound lncRNAs in CaMKIIα-expressing pyramidal neurons were measured using the Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) technique. Our findings show that EtOH altered the attachment of 107 lncRNA transcripts, while EtOH+ABT altered 60 lncRNAs. Among these 60 lncRNAs, 49 were altered by both conditions, while EtOH+ABT uniquely altered the attachment of 11 lncRNA transcripts that EtOH alone did not affect. To validate these results, we selected eight lncRNAs (Mir124-2hg, 5430416N02Rik, Snhg17, Snhg12, Snhg1, Mir9-3hg, Gas5, and 1110038B12Rik) for qRT-PCR analysis. The current study demonstrates that ethanol-induced changes in lncRNA attachment to ribosomes can be mitigated by the addition of the PARP inhibitor ABT-888.

Abstract
Plastics in the environment can break down into nanoplastics (NPs), which pose a potential threat to public health. Studies have shown that the nervous system constitutes a significant target for nanoplastics. However, the potential mechanism behind nanoplastics' neurotoxicity remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA in the depressive-like responses induced by exposure to 25 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs). Forty mice were divided into four groups administered doses of 0, 10, 25, and 50 mg/kg via gavage for 6 months. After conducting behavioral tests, RNA sequencing was used to detect changes in mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs in the prefrontal cortex of the mice in the 0 and 50 mg/kg PS NPs groups. The results revealed that mice exposed to chronic PS NPs developed depressive-like responses in a dose-dependent manner. It was demonstrated that 987 mRNAs, 29 miRNAs, and 116 lncRNAs were significantly different between the two groups. Then, a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network containing 6 lncRNAs, 18 miRNAs, and 750 mRNAs was constructed. Enrichment results suggested that PS NPs may contribute to the onset of depression-like responses through the activation of axon guidance, neurotrophin-signaling pathways, and dopaminergic synapses. This study provided evidence of the molecular relationship between PS NPs and depression-like responses.

LncRNA XR_351665 Contributes to Chronic Pain-Induced Depression by Upregulating DNMT1 via Sponging miR-152-3p. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2023; 24:449-462. [PMID: 36257574 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2022.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Chronic pain is frequently comorbid with depression. However, the mechanisms underlying chronic pain-induced depression remain unclear. Here, we found that DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) was upregulated in the central amygdala (CeA) of spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced chronic pain-depression rats, and knockdown of DNMT1 could improve the depression-like behaviors in SNI rats. Additionally, a panel of differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 38 upregulated and 12 downregulated lncRNAs, were identified by microarray analysis. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that the upregulated lncRNA XR_351665 was the upstream molecule to regulate DNMT1 expression. The knockdown of XR_351665 significantly alleviated the depression-like behaviors in SNI rats, whereas overexpression of XR_351665 induced the depression-like behaviors in naïve rats. Further mechanism-related researches uncovered that XR_351665 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to upregulate DNMT1 by competitively sponging miR-152-3p, and subsequently promoted the development of chronic pain-induced depression. Our findings suggest that lncRNA XR_351665 is involved in the development of chronic pain-induced depression by upregulating DNMT1 via sponging miR-152-3p. These data provide novel insight into understanding the pathogenesis of chronic pain-induced depression and identify a potential therapeutic target. PERSPECTIVE: LncRNA XR_351665 in CeA functions as a ceRNA to block the inhibitory effect of miR-152-3p on DNMT1 and contributes to the development of chronic pain-induced depression. These data suggest that manipulation of XR_351665/miR-152-3p/DNMT1 axis may be a potential method to attenuate chronic pain-induced depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common and serious mental illness. Many novel genes in MDD have been characterized by high-throughput methods such as microarrays or sequencing. Recently, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) were suggested to be involved in the complicated environmental-genetic regulatory network of MDD occurrence; however, the interplay among RNA species, including protein-coding RNAs and ncRNAs, in MDD remains unclear.
AIM To investigate the RNA expression datasets downloaded from a public database and construct a network based on differentially expressed long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and mRNAs between MDD and controls.
METHODS Gene expression data were searched in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus using the search term “major depressive disorder.” Six array datasets from humans were related to the search term: GSE19738, GSE32280, GSE38206, GSE52790, GSE76826, and GSE81152. These datasets were processed for initial assessment and subjected to quality control and differential expression analysis. Differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were determined, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed, and protein-protein interaction network was generated. The results were analyzed for their association with MDD.
RESULTS After analysis, 3 miRNAs, 12 lncRNAs, and 33 mRNAs were identified in the competing endogenous RNA network. Two of these miRNAs were earlier shown to be involved in psychiatric disorders, and differentially expressed mRNAs were found to be highly enriched in pathways related to neurogenesis and neuroplasticity as per Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses. The expression of hub gene fatty acid 2-hydroxylase was enriched, and the encoded protein was found to be involved in myelin formation, indicating that neurological development and signal transduction are involved in MDD pathogenesis.
CONCLUSION The present study presents candidate ncRNAs involved in the neurogenesis and neuroplasticity pathways related to MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is among the most common psychiatric disorders, and is a leading cause of the global disease burden. Its pathophysiological mechanism is unclear, which limits the development of therapeutic strategies. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS) may be related. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of the rs2242385, rs155979, rs3762983, and rs3762984 polymorphisms in the lncRNA NONHSAT102891 on depression susceptibility in a Chinese population. METHODS We conducted a case-control study in a cohort of 480 patients with depression and 329 healthy controls, and performed genotyping by gene sequencing ii. RESULTS The rs155979 GC genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of depression compared with healthy controls. Stratified analysis showed a 2.08-fold increased risk of suicide in patients with rs155979 GC or GG genotype. The rs2242385, rs3762983, and rs3762984 polymorphisms were not significantly associated with the risk of depression. Haploid analysis showed linkage disequilibrium between rs155979, rs3762983, and rs3762984, and the CCG haplotype reduced the risk of depression. LIMITATIONS The study sample was relatively small, and was restricted to patients from central and southern China. Further, only peripheral blood was used for DNA extraction. CONCLUSION The rs155979 polymorphism may be associated with the occurrence of depression in the Chinese population. However, further studies are needed to verify the reliability of our results in large populations and different ethnic groups.

Abstract
Long-term chronic pain can lead to depression. However, the mechanism underlying chronic pain-related depression remains unclear. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent histone deacetylase (HDAC). Our previous studies have demonstrated that SIRT1 in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is involved in the development of chronic pain-related depression. In addition, increasing studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in the pathogenesis of pain or depression. However, whether lncRNAs are involved in SIRT1-mediated chronic pain-related depression remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified that a novel lncRNA-84277 in CeA was the upstream molecule to regulate SIRT1 expression. Functionally, lncRNA-84277 overexpression in CeA significantly alleviated the depression-like behaviors in spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced chronic pain rats, whereas lncRNA-84277 knockdown in CeA induced the depression-like behaviors in naïve rats. Mechanically, lncRNA-84277 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to upregulate SIRT1 expression by competitively sponging miR-128-3p, and therefore improved chronic pain-related depression-like behaviors. Our findings reveal the critical role of lncRNA-84277 in CeA specifically in guarding against chronic pain-related depression via a ceRNA mechanism and provide a potential therapeutic target for chronic pain-related depression.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex, multifactorial disorder of rising prevalence and incidence worldwide. Nearly, 280 million of people suffer from this leading cause of disability in the world. Moreover, patients with this condition are frequently co-affected by essential nutrient deficiency. The typical scene with stress and hustle in developed countries tends to be accompanied by eating disorders implying overnutrition from high-carbohydrates and high-fat diets with low micronutrients intake. In fact, currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has drawn more attention to this underdiagnosed condition, besides the importance of the nutritional status in shaping immunomodulation, in which minerals, vitamins, or omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) play an important role. The awareness of nutritional assessment is greater and greater in the patients with depression since antidepressant treatments have such a significant probability of failing. As diet is considered a crucial environmental factor, underlying epigenetic mechanisms that experience an adaptation or consequence on their signaling and expression mechanisms are reviewed. In this study, we included metabolic changes derived from an impairment in cellular processes due to lacking some essential nutrients in diet and therefore in the organism. Finally, aspects related to nutritional interventions and recommendations are also addressed.

Abstract
Depression is the second most common psychiatric disorder, affecting more than 340 million people of all ages worldwide. However, the mechanisms underlying the development of depression remain unclear, and existing antidepressants may cause clinical dependence and toxic side effects. Recently, emerging evidence from the fields of neuroscience, genetics, and genomics supports the modulatory role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in depression. LncRNAs may mediate the pathogenesis of depression through multiple pathways, including regulating neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors, affecting synaptic conduction, and regulating the ventriculo-olfactory neurogenic system. In addition, relying on genome-wide association study and molecular biological experiment, the possibility of lncRNA as a potential biomarker for the differential diagnosis of depression and other mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, is gradually being revealed. Thus, it is important to explore whether lncRNAs are potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers for depression. Here, we summarize the genesis and function of lncRNAs and discuss the aberrant expression and functional roles of lncRNAs in the development, diagnosis, and therapy of depression, as well as the deficiencies and limitations of these studies. Moreover, we established a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA-pathway-drug network of depression through bioinformatics analysis methods to deepen our understanding of the relationship between lncRNA and depression, promoting the clinical application of epigenetic research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate new lncRNAs as molecular markers of T2D. METHODS We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs from five patients with T2D and paired controls. Through bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR validation, ELISA, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of 100 patients with T2D and 100 controls to evaluate the correlation between lncRNAs and T2D, and whether lncRNAs could be used in the diagnosis of T2D patients. RESULTS We identified 68 and 74 differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs, respectively. The top five upregulated lncRNAs are ENST00000381108.3, ENST00000515544.1, ENST00000539543.1, ENST00000508174.1, and ENST00000564527.1, and the top five downregulated lncRNAs are TCONS_00017539, ENST00000430816.1, ENST00000533203.1, ENST00000609522.1, and ENST00000417079.1. The top five upregulated mRNAs are Q59H50, CYP27A1, DNASE1L3, GRIP2, and lnc-TMEM18-12, and the top five downregulated mRNAs are GSTM4, PODN, GLYATL2, ZNF772, and CLTC. Examination of lncRNA-mRNA interaction pairs indicated that the target gene of lncRNA XR_108954.2 is E2F2. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that XR_108954.2 (r = 0.387, p < 0.01) and E2F2 (r = 0.368, p < 0.01) expression levels were positively correlated with glucose metabolism indicators. Moreover, E2F2 was positively correlated with lipid metabolism indicators (r = 0.333, p < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve was 0.704 (95% CI: 0.578-0.830, p = 0.05) for lncRNA XR_108954.2 and 0.653 (95% CI: 0.516-0.790, p = 0.035) for E2F2. CONCLUSIONS This transcriptome analysis explored the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs and identified E2F2 and lncRNA XR_108954.2 as potential biomarkers for patients with T2D.

Abstract
Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a transcriptional regulator that is highly abundant in the brain. It binds to methylated genomic DNA to regulate a range of physiological functions implicated in neuronal development and adult synaptic plasticity. MeCP2 has mainly been studied for its role in neurodevelopmental disorders, but alterations in MeCP2 are also present in stress-related disorders such as major depression. Impairments in both stress regulation and synaptic plasticity are associated with depression, but the specific mechanisms underlying these changes have not been identified. Here, we review the interplay between stress, synaptic plasticity, and MeCP2. We focus our attention on the transcriptional regulation of important neuronal plasticity genes such as BDNF and reelin (RELN). Moreover, we provide evidence from recent studies showing a link between chronic stress-induced depressive symptoms and dysregulation of MeCP2 expression, underscoring the role of this protein in stress-related pathology. We conclude that MeCP2 is a promising target for the development of novel, more efficacious therapeutics for the treatment of stress-related disorders such as depression.

Abstract
Variation in the expression level and activity of genes involved in drug disposition and action in tissues of pharmacological importance have been increasingly investigated in patients treated with psychotropic drugs. Findings are promising, but reliable predictive biomarkers of response have yet to be identified. Here we conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic search of PubMed, Scopus and PsycInfo up to 12 September 2020 for studies investigating RNA expression levels in cells or biofluids from patients with major depressive disorder, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder characterized for response to psychotropic drugs (antidepressants, antipsychotics or mood stabilizers) or adverse effects. Among 5497 retrieved studies, 123 (63 on antidepressants, 33 on antipsychotics and 27 on mood stabilizers) met inclusion criteria. Studies were either focused on mRNAs (n = 96), microRNAs (n = 19) or long non-coding RNAs (n = 1), with only a minority investigating both mRNAs and microRNAs levels (n = 7). The most replicated results include genes playing a role in inflammation (antidepressants), neurotransmission (antidepressants and antipsychotics) or mitochondrial function (mood stabilizers). Compared to those investigating response to antidepressants, studies focused on antipsychotics or mood stabilizers more often showed lower sample size and lacked replication. Strengths and limitations of available studies are presented and discussed in light of the specific designs, methodology and clinical characterization of included patients for transcriptomic compared to DNA-based studies. Finally, future directions of transcriptomics of psychopharmacological interventions in psychiatric disorders are discussed.

Abstract
The central dogma of molecular genetics is defined as encoded genetic information within DNA, transcribed into messenger RNA, which contain the instructions for protein synthesis, thus imparting cellular functionality and ultimately life. This molecular genetic theory has given birth to the field of neuroepigenetics, and it is now well established that epigenetic regulation of gene transcription is critical to the learning and memory process. In this review, we address a potential role for a relatively new player in the field of epigenetic crosstalk - long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). First, we briefly summarize epigenetic mechanisms in memory formation and examine what little is known about the emerging role of lncRNAs during this process. We then focus discussions on how lncRNAs interact with epigenetic mechanisms to control transcriptional programs under various conditions in the brain, and how this may be applied to regulation of gene expression necessary for memory formation. Next, we explore how epigenetic crosstalk in turn serves to regulate expression of various individual lncRNAs themselves. To highlight the importance of further exploring the role of lncRNA in epigenetic regulation of gene expression, we consider the significant relationship between lncRNA dysregulation and declining memory reserve with aging, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy, as well as the promise of novel therapeutic interventions. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the critical questions that remain to be answered regarding a role for lncRNA in memory.

Abstract
Microglia and astrocytes maintain tissue homeostasis in the nervous system. Both microglia and astrocytes have pro-inflammatory phenotype and anti-inflammatory phenotype. Activated microglia and activated astrocytes can contribute to several neurological diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), two groups of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), can function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to impair the microRNA (miRNA) inhibition on targeted messenger RNAs (mRNAs). LncRNAs and circRNAs are involved in various neurological disorders. In this review, we summarized that lncRNAs and circRNAs participate in microglia dysfunction, astrocyte dysfunction, neuron damage, and inflammation. Thereby, lncRNAs and circRNAs can positively or negatively regulate neurological diseases, including spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), stroke, neuropathic pain, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Besides, we also found a lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in microglia and astrocyte mediated neurological diseases. Through this review, we hope to cast light on the regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs and circRNAs in microglia and astrocyte mediated neurological diseases and provide new insights for neurological disease treatment.

Abstract
Suicide is a complex phenomenon and a global public health problem that involves several biological factors that could contribute to the pathophysiology of suicide. There is evidence that epigenetic factors influence some psychiatric disorders, suggesting a predisposition to suicide or suicidal behavior. Here, we review studies of molecular mechanisms of suicide in an epigenetic perspective in the postmortem brain of suicide completers and peripheral blood cells of suicide attempters. Besides, we include studies of gene-specific DNA methylation, epigenome-wide association, histone modification, and interfering RNAs as epigenetic factors. This review provides an overview of the epigenetic mechanisms described in different biological systems related to suicide, contributing to an understanding of the genetic regulation in suicide. We conclude that epigenetic marks are potential biomarkers in suicide, and they could become attractive therapeutic targets due to their reversibility and importance in regulating gene expression.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, circular RNAs, and long non-coding RNAs, are important regulators of normal biological processes and their abnormal expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases including depression. Multiple studies have demonstrated a significantly increased or reduced ncRNAs expression in depressed patients compared with healthy subjects and that antidepressant therapy can alter the aberrant expression of ncRNAs in depressed patients. Although the existing evidence is important, it is also mixed and a comprehensive review to guide an effective clinical translation is lacking. Focused on human research, this review summarizes clinical findings of ncRNAs in depression, including those in brain tissues and peripheral samples. We outlined the characteristics and functions of ncRNAs and highlighted their performance in the diagnosis and treatment of depression. Although their precise roles in depression remain uncertain, ncRNAs have shown potential value as biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy in depressed patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long noncoding RNA small nuclear host gene 1 (SNHG1) was involved in neuroinflammation in microglial BV-2 cells; however, its interaction with microRNA (miR)-181b in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 cells remained poor. METHODS BV-2 cells were treated with LPS and then were subjected to observation on morphology and immunofluorescence staining. After transfection, levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The potential binding sites between SNHG1 and miR-181b were confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were applied for detecting the mRNA and protein expressions of proinflammatory cytokines, ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). RESULTS LPS led to the morphological changes and activation of BV-2 cells. The transfection of SNHG1 overexpression vector further promoted LPS-induced SNHG1 upregulation, inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) generation and Iba-1, COX-2, and iNOS expressions, whereas silencing SNHG1 did the opposite. miR-181b functions as a downstream miRNA of SNHG1. In LPS-treated cells, the inhibition of miR-181b induced by SNHG1 promoted inflammation response and the expressions of Iba-1, COX-2, and iNOS. CONCLUSION SNHG1 was involved in LPS-induced microglial activation and inflammation response via targeting miR-181b, providing another evidence of the roles of SNHG1 implicated in neuroinflammation of microglia.

Abstract
Bone cancer pain (BCP)–depression comorbidity has become a complex clinical problem during cancer treatment; however, its underlying molecular mechanisms have not been clarified. Several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be promising therapeutic targets in depression, but research on the role of lncRNAs in BCP–depression comorbidity has been limited. Therefore, high-throughput RNA sequencing was performed to detect differentially expressed profiles in the amygdala of a BCP–depression rat model in this study. We detected 330 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and 78 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in the BCP–depression comorbidity model and then verified the expression of six DEmRNAs and six DElncRNAs with the greatest degrees of difference by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed that differentially expressed genes were strongly enriched in inflammatory and immunologic systemic responses. Then the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and the Th17 differentiation pathway showed significant differences, as determined by Western blot analysis. Finally, we constructed a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network to explore the potential regulatory mechanism of DEmRNAs. In conclusion, our study reveals a new resource for the understanding of dysregulated lncRNAs and mRNAs in BCP–depression comorbidity and provides novel potential therapeutic targets for further approaches.

Abstract
High impulsive and aggressive traits associate with poor behavioural self-control. Despite their importance in predicting behavioural negative outcomes including suicide, the molecular mechanisms underlying the expression of impulsive and aggressive traits remain poorly understood. Here, we identified and characterized a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), acting as a regulator of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene in the brain, and named it MAOA-associated lncRNA (MAALIN). Our results show that in the brain of suicide completers, MAALIN is regulated by a combination of epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation and chromatin modifications. Elevated MAALIN in the dentate gyrus of impulsive-aggressive suicides was associated with lower MAOA expression. Viral overexpression of MAALIN in neuroprogenitor cells decreased MAOA expression while CRISPR-mediated knock out resulted in elevated MAOA expression. Using viral-mediated gene transfer, we confirmed that MAALIN in the hippocampus significantly decreases MAOA expression and exacerbates the expression of impulsive-aggressive behavioural traits in CD1 aggressive mice. Overall, our findings suggest that variations in DNA methylation mediate the differential expression of a novel lncRNA that acts on MAOA expression to regulate impulsive-aggressive behaviours.

Neuroepigenetics of psychiatric disorders: Focus on lncRNA. Neurochem Int 2021; 149:105140.

Abstract
Understanding the pathology of psychiatric disorders is challenging due to their complexity and multifactorial origin. However, development of high-throughput technologies has allowed for better insight into their molecular signatures. Advancement of sequencing methodologies have made it possible to study not only the protein-coding but also the noncoding genome. It is now clear that besides the genetic component, different epigenetic mechanisms play major roles in the onset and development of psychiatric disorders. Among them, examining the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is a relatively new field. Here, we present an overview of what is currently known about the involvement of lncRNAs in schizophrenia, major depressive and bipolar disorders, as well as suicide. The diagnosis of psychiatric disorders mainly relies on clinical evaluation without using measurable biomarkers. In this regard, lncRNA may open new opportunities for development of molecular tests. However, so far only a small set of known lncRNAs have been characterized at molecular level, which means they have a long way to go before clinical implementation. Understanding how changes in lncRNAs affect the appearance and development of psychiatric disorders may lead to a more classified and objective diagnostic system, but also open up new therapeutic targets for these patients.

Abstract
Despite studies providing insight into the neurobiology of chronic stress, depression and anxiety, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-mediated mechanisms underlying the common and distinct pathophysiology of these stress-induced disorders remain nonconclusive. In a previous study, we used the chronic mild stress paradigm to separate depression-susceptible, anxiety-susceptible and insusceptible rat subpopulations. In the current study, lncRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was comparatively profiled in the hippocampus of the three stress groups using microarray technology. Groupwise comparisons identified distinct sets of lncRNAs and mRNAs associated with the three different behavioral phenotypes of the stressed rats. To investigate the regulatory roles of the dysregulated lncRNAs upon mRNA expression, correlations between the differential lncRNAs and mRNAs were first analyzed by combined use of weighted gene coexpression network analysis and ceRNA theory-based methods. Subsequent functional analysis of strongly correlated mRNAs indicated that the dysregulated lncRNAs were involved in various biological pathways and processes to specifically induce rat susceptibility or resiliency to depression or anxiety. Further intersectional analysis of phenotype-associated and drug-associated lncRNA-mRNA networks and subnetworks assisted in identifying 16 hub lncRNAs as potential targets of anti-depression/anxiety drugs. Collectively, our study established the molecular basis for understanding the similarities and differences in pathophysiological mechanisms underlying stress-induced depression or anxiety and stress resiliency, revealing several important lncRNAs that represent potentially new therapeutic drug targets for depression and anxiety disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing research reveals that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in various biological processes of human diseases. Nonetheless, only a handful of lncRNA-disease associations have been experimentally verified. The study of lncRNA-disease association prediction based on the computational model has provided a preliminary basis for biological experiments to a great degree so as to cut down the huge cost of wet lab experiments. OBJECTIVE This study aims to learn the real distribution of lncRNA-disease association from a limited number of known lncRNA-disease association data. This paper proposes a new lncRNA-disease association prediction model called LDA-GAN based on a generative adversarial network (GAN). METHOD Aiming at the problems of slow convergence rate, training instabilities, and unavailability of discrete data in traditional GAN, LDA-GAN utilizes the Gumbel-softmax technology to construct a differentiable process for simulating discrete sampling. Meanwhile, the generator and the discriminator of LDA-GAN are integrated to establish the overall optimization goal based on the pairwise loss function. RESULTS Experiments on standard datasets demonstrate that LDA-GAN achieves not only high stability and high efficiency in the process of confrontation learning but also gives full play to the semi-supervised learning advantage of generative adversarial learning framework for unlabeled data, which further improves the prediction accuracy of lncRNA-disease association. Besides, case studies show that LDA-GAN can accurately generate potential diseases for several lncRNAs.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent disease and one of the main causes of disability worldwide. Although many studies have partially revealed the occurrence and development process of MDD, the pathogeny and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to explore the co-expression modules and hub genes in MDD. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the most significant module and a TF-miRNA-lncRNA regulatory network of MDD were constructed using bioinformatics analysis tools. A KEGG pathway and gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis of the genes in the significant module was performed using DAVID. Five hub genes in the PPI network and 10 genes in the TF-miRNA-lncRNA regulatory network with high degree values were identified, which may provide new insights for the investigation of key pathways, diagnostic bio-markers, and therapeutic targets of MDD. This study brings a novel perspective and provides valuable information to explore the molecular mechanism of MDD.

Downregulation of miR-383 reduces depression-like behavior through targeting Wnt family member 2 (Wnt2) in rats. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9223. [PMID: 33927285 PMCID: PMC8085118 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88560-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the role of miR-383 in the regulation of Wnt-2 signaling in the rat model of chronic stress. The male SD rats with depressive-like behaviors were stimulated with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) including ice-water swimming for 5 min, food deprivation for 24 h, water deprivation for 24 h, stimulating tail for 1 min, turning night into day, shaking for 15 min (once/s), and wrap restraint (5 min/time) every day for 21 days. The expression levels of miRNAs were detected by qRT-PCR, and the expression levels of Wnt2, depression-impacted proteins (GFAP, BDNF, CREB), brain neurotransmitters (5-HT, NE, DA) and apoptosis-related proteins (Bax and Bcl-2) were evaluated by qRT-PCR and western blot. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase reporter assay were performed to determine the relationship between miR-383 and Wnt2. Ethological analysis was evaluated by sugar preference test, refuge island test and open field tests. Rescue experiments including knockdown of miR-383, overexpression and silencing of Wnt2 were performed to determine the role of miR-383. High expression levels of miR-383 were observed in the hippocampus of rats submitted to CUMS model. Downregulation of miR-383 significantly inhibited the apoptosis and inflammatory response of hippocampal neurons, and increased the expression levels of GFAP, BDNF and CREB which were impacted in depression, as well as neurotransmitters, then attenuated neural injury in rats induced by CUMS. Furthermore, Wnt family member 2 (Wnt2) was identified as a target of miR-383, and silencing of Wnt2 obviously attenuated the protective effect of miR-383 inhibitor on the apoptosis and inflammatory response in hippocampal neurons, as well as neural injury in CUMS-induced rats. Downregulation of miR-383 ameliorated the behavioral and neurochemical changes induced by chronic stress in rats by directly targeting Wnt2, indicating that the miR-383/Wnt2 axis might be a potential therapeutic target for MDD.

Abstract
Depression is a prevalent mental disorder that is associated with aging and contributes to increased mortality and morbidity. The overall prevalence of geriatric depression with clinically significant symptoms is currently on the rise. Recent studies have demonstrated that altered expressions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the brain affect neurodevelopment and manifest modulating functions during the depression. However, most lncRNAs have not yet been studied. Herein, we analyzed the transcriptome of dysregulated lncRNAs to reveal their expressions in a mouse model exhibiting depressive-like behaviors, as well as their corresponding response following antidepressant fluoxetine treatment. A chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mouse model was applied. A six-week fluoxetine intervention in CUMS-induced mice attenuated depressive-like behaviors. In addition, differential expression analysis of lncRNAs was performed following RNA-sequencing. A total of 282 lncRNAs (134 up-regulated and 148 down-regulated) were differentially expressed in CUMS-induced mice relative to non-stressed counterparts ( P<0.05). Moreover, 370 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in CUMS-induced mice after fluoxetine intervention. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses showed an association between significantly dysregulated lncRNAs and protein binding, oxygen binding, and transport activity, while the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that these dysregulated lncRNAs might be involved in inflammatory response pathways. Fluoxetine effectively ameliorated the symptoms of depression in CUMS-induced mice by regulating the expression of lncRNAs in the hippocampus. The findings herein provide valuable insights into the potential mechanism underlying depression in elderly people.

Abstract
Recent studies imply that there is a tight association between epigenetics and a molecular mechanism of major depressive disorder (MDD). Epigenetic modifications, i.e., DNA methylation, post-translational histone modification and interference of microRNA (miRNA) or long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), are able to influence the severity of the disease and the outcome of the therapy. This article summarizes the most recent literature data on this topic, i.e., usage of histone deacetylases as therapeutic agents with an antidepressant effect and miRNAs or lncRNAs as markers of depression. Due to the noteworthy potential of the role of epigenetics in MDD diagnostics and therapy, we have gathered the most relevant data in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidences have demonstrated the roles of several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in depression. We aim to examine the capabilities of lncRNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) on mice with depression-like behaviors and the mechanism of action. METHODS Fifty-six healthy mice were selected for model establishment. Morris water maze test and trapeze test were performed for evaluating learning and memory ability. The binding relationship between lncRNA GAS5 and microRNA-26a (miR-26a) and the target relationship between miR-26a and EGR1 were verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The apoptosis of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice was detected by TUNEL staining. The expression of inflammatory factors, lncRNA GAS5, miR-26a, early growth response gene 1 (EGR1), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway- and apoptosis-related factors in hippocampal tissues was tested by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. RESULTS miR-26a expression was down-regulated while EGR1 and lncRNA GAS5 expression were up-regulated in hippocampal tissues of mice with depression-like behaviors. LncRNA GAS5 specifically bound to miR-26a and miR-26a targeted EGR1. Silencing of lncRNA GAS5 curtailed the release of inflammatory factors and the apoptosis of hippocampal neuron of mice with depression-like behaviors. EGR1 suppressed PI3K/AKT pathway activation to promote the release of inflammatory factors and the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in mice with depression-like behaviors. CONCLUSION Our study provides evidence that silencing of lncRNA GAS5 could activate PI3K/AKT pathway to protect hippocampal neurons against damage in mice with depression-like behaviors by regulating the miR-26a/EGR1 axis.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a rare population of tumor cells that exhibit stem cell properties with the abilities of self-renewal and differentiation. These cells are now widely accepted to be responsible for tumor initiation, development, resistance to conventional therapies, and recurrence. Thus, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the control of CSCs is essential to improve patient management in terms of diagnostics and therapies. CSCs are regulated by signals of the tumor microenvironment as well as intrinsic genetic and epigenetic modulators. H19, the first identified lncRNA is involved in the development and progression of many different cancer types. Recently, H19 has been demonstrated to be implicated in the regulation of CSCs in different types of cancers. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the role and mechanisms of action of H19 in the regulation of CSCs. We summarize how H19 may regulate CSC division and cancer cell reprogramming, thus affecting metastasis and drug resistance. We also discuss the potential clinical implications of H19.

Abstract
Introduction Schizophrenia is recognized as one of the most important mental illnesses of the last century. Many genetic and environmental factors are involved in this condition. Recently, the genome-wide association study identified two significant genes LRP8 and CEP85L associated with psychiatric disorders. LRP8 (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8) acts as a cytoplasmic receptor for Reelin. Many studies have revealed that LRP8 was significantly related to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in Chinese population. CEP85L standing for 'centrosomal protein 85 kDa-like' is another gene, which has been reportedly associated with BPD. Methods We performed a case-control study to analyze the association between rs5177 single-nucleotide polymorphism in the LRP8 gene plus the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs11756438 in the CEP85L gene and schizophrenia in the Iranian population. The genotype for rs5177 was determined by ARMS PCR method, while for rs11756438 genotype, it was determined by PCR-RFLP method after which statistical analysis was performed for each polymorphism. In rs5177, the CC genotype was susceptible to the disease while G allele was associated with disease protection. Results and Conclusion In rs11756438, the AA genotype was associated with disease susceptibility, while allele A did not have a significant association with the disease.

Abstract
Microglia polarization is associated with the pathogenesis of depression. A previous study shows that long non-coding RNA uc.80- is down-regulated in the hippocampus of depressed rats. Thus, this article aims to investigate the role of uc.80- in microglia polarization in depression. We first established depression model rats by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) regiment. We found that hippocampus of depressed rats exhibited an increase of M1 microglias and a decrease of M2 microglias. uc.80- was down-regulated in hippocampus of depressed rats. Furthermore, the detection of behaviouristics of depressed rats showed that uc.80- overexpression alleviated depression of rats. In addition, uc.80- overexpression promoted M2 polarization of microglias in vivo and in vitro. uc.80- overexpression led to a decrease in apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, our study confirms that lncRNA uc.80- overexpression ameliorates depression in rats by promoting M2 polarization of microglias. Thus, our work suggests that uc.80- may be a target gene for depression treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The release of zinc from glutamatergic terminals in the hippocampal CA3 region can activate postsynaptic GPR39 receptors and regulate cognition and depression. However, the role and mechanism of GPR39 in the stress-induced depression is still poorly understood. METHODS In this study, hippocampal cells (HT-22) were treated with corticosterone (CORT). Then the effects of stress on the activity, mitochondrial function and apoptosis of HT-22 cells were observed. The effects of GPR39 on CORT-induced stress injury were analyzed by both siRNA and agonist (TC-G-1008). RESULTS Compared with the 500 nM CORT group, the cell viability, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and expression levels of BCL-2, CREB and BDNF mRNA were significantly decreased in the GPR39 siRNA+500 nM CORT group, while the expression levels of caspase3, caspase9, AIF and BAX mRNA were significantly increased in the GPR39 siRNA+500 nM CORT group. Compared with the 1 μM CORTgroup, the cell viability, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and expression levels of BCL-2, CREB and BDNF were significantly increased in the GPR39 agonist+1 μΜ CORT group, while the expression levels of caspase3, caspase9, AIF and BAX mRNA were significantly decreased in the GPR39 siRNA+500 nM CORT group. Compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein levels of GPR39, CREB and BDNF were significantly increased, and the mRNA and protein levels of CREB and BDNF were significantly decreased after 50 μM zinc sulfate treatment for 6 h. CONCLUSIONS GPR39 may play a neuroprotective role in CORT-induced cell injury via the improvement of CREB-BDNF expression, by inhibiting pro-apoptotic proteins and by upregulating anti-apoptotic proteins.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) , as the most prevalent type of lung carcinoma with high severity, is of urgent necessity to be investigated for novel therapeutic strategies. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are notable for their participation in cancer regulation, and lncRNA long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 641 (LINC00641) has been found to have an inhibitory influence on bladder cancer, but its role in NSCLC has not yet been studied. In this research, we launched an investigation into the biological functions and the underlying molecular mechanisms of LINC00641 in NSCLC. At first, downregulation of LINC00641 was identified in NSCLC cells. Functionally, LINC00641 suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in NSCLC, indicating that LINC00641 exerted tumor-suppressive role in NSCLC. Through mechanism investigation, we determined that LINC00641 acted as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in NSCLC by sponging miR-424-5p to upregulate phospholipid scramblase (PLSCR4) expression. Further rescue assays indicated that miR-424-5p and PLSCR4 could reverse LINC00641-mediated cellular processes. Taken together, it is demonstrated in our study that LINC00641 can function as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC via a ceRNA network.

Abstract
Cancer cells exhibit hallmarks in terms of proliferation, resistance to cell death, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, and genomic instability. Despite the progress in cancer research and the comprehension of tumorigenesis mechanisms, cancer remains a major issue in public health. A better understanding of the molecular factors associated with the appearance or progression of cancer may allow the development of therapeutic alternatives. Increasing data highlight the role of long non-coding RNAs in many diseases, including cancer. The long non-coding RNA H19 was the first discovered riboregulator, and it has been shown to be involved at multiple steps of tumorigenesis. Indeed, this lncRNA exert its action at various molecular scales. Understanding the role of H19 in cancer progression may allow to set up therapeutic strategies to prevent tumor expansion and metastatic dissemination. In this review, we will summarize the overexpression of the long non-coding RNA H19 in several types of cancer and the multiple implications of the long non-coding RNA H19 in the different hallmarks that define human cancer.

Abstract
As a highly heterogeneous malignancy, breast cancer (BC) has become the most significant threat to female health. Distant metastasis and therapy resistance of BC are responsible for most of the cases of mortality and recurrence. Distant metastasis relies on an array of processes, such as cell proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET), and angiogenesis. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refers to a class of non-coding RNA with a length of over 200 nucleotides. Currently, a rising number of studies have managed to investigate the association between BC and lncRNA. In this study, we summarized how lncRNA has dual effects in BC metastasis by regulating invasion, migration, and distant metastasis of BC cells. We also emphasize that lncRNA has crucial regulatory effects in the stemness and angiogenesis of BC. Clinically, some lncRNAs can regulate chemotherapy sensitivity in BC patients and may function as novel biomarkers to diagnose or predict prognosis for BC patients. The exact impact on clinical relevance deserves further study. This review can be an approach to understanding the dual effects of lncRNAs in BC, thereby linking lncRNAs to quasi-personalized treatment in the future.

Abstract
In order to study the molecular differences between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and T2DM with depression (DD), we aimed to screen the differential expression of lncRNA, mRNA, and circRNA in the blood of patients with T2DM and DD. Based on the self-rating depression scale (SDS), patient health questionnaire 9 (PHQ9), blood glucose and HbA1c, we divided the patients into T2DM and DD group. Peripheral blood was collected from the two groups of patients to perform lncRNA, mRNA, and circRNA expression profiling and screening DD-related specific molecules. Subsequently, bioinformatics analysis was performed to investigate the functions of differentially expressed genes (DEgenes). Finally, RT-PCR and lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network was performed to verify the expressions of lncRNAs and mRNAs related to the occurrence and development of DD. 28 lncRNAs, 107 circRNAs, and 89 mRNAs were identified in DD differential expression profiles. GO and pathway analysis found that 20 biological process (BP) related entities and 20 pathways associated with DD. The analysis shows that the genes that are differentially expressed in the DD group involved in the development of the neuropsychiatric system, immunity, and inflammation. Then, we screening for the important DElncRNA and mRNA associated with DD were verified by RT-PCR experiments and the results of RT-PCR were consistent with the sequencing results. LncRNA, circRNA, and mRNA differential expression profiles exist in DD patients compared with T2DM. The lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network analysis confirmed the crosslinking and complex regulation patterns of lncRNA and mRNA expression and verified the authenticity of the regulatory network.

Abstract
The human population is getting ageing. Both ageing and age-related diseases are correlated with an increased number of senescent cells in the organism. Senescent cells do not divide but are metabolically active and influence their environment by secreting many proteins due to a phenomenon known as senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescent cells differ from young cells by several features. They possess more damaged DNA, more impaired mitochondria and an increased level of free radicals that cause the oxidation of macromolecules. However, not only biochemical and structural changes are related to senescence. Senescent cells have an altered chromatin structure, and in consequence, altered gene expression. With age, the level of heterochromatin decreases, and less condensed chromatin is more prone to DNA damage. On the one hand, some gene promoters are easily available for the transcriptional machinery; on the other hand, some genes are more protected (locally increased level of heterochromatin). The structure of chromatin is precisely regulated by the epigenetic modification of DNA and posttranslational modification of histones. The methylation of DNA inhibits transcription, histone methylation mostly leads to a more condensed chromatin structure (with some exceptions) and acetylation plays an opposing role. The modification of both DNA and histones is regulated by factors present in the diet. This means that compounds contained in daily food can alter gene expression and protect cells from senescence, and therefore protect the organism from ageing. An opinion prevailed for some time that compounds from the diet do not act through direct regulation of the processes in the organism but through modification of the physiology of the microbiome. In this review we try to explain the role of some food compounds, which by acting on the epigenetic level might protect the organism from age-related diseases and slow down ageing. We also try to shed some light on the role of microbiome in this process.

Abstract
Maternal separation (MS), a stressful event in early life, has been linked to neuropsychiatric disorders later in life, especially depression. In this study we investigated whether treatment with electroacupuncture (EA) could ameliorate depression-related manifestations in adult animals that had adverse early life experiences. We demonstrated depression-like behavior deficiencies in a sucrose preference test and a forced swimming test in a rat model with neonatal MS. Repeated EA treatment at the acupoints Baihui (GV20) and Yintang (GV29) during adulthood was shown to be remarkably attenuated above behavioral deficits. Using unbiased genome-wide RNA sequencing to investigate alterations in the transcriptome of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), we explored the altered gene sets involved in circadian rhythm and neurotransmitter transporter activity in MS rats, and their expression tended to be reversed after EA treatment. In addition, we analyzed the interaction network of differentiated lncRNA- or circRNA-miRNA-mRNA by using the principle of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA). These results suggest that EA at GV20 and GV29 ameliorates depression-related manifestations by regulating the expression of multiple genes.

RNA-Sequencing and Bioinformatics Analysis of Long Noncoding RNAs and mRNAs in the Prefrontal Cortex of Mice Following Repeated Social Defeat Stress. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:7505260.

Abstract
Background Repeated or continuous chronic psychological stress may induce diverse neuropsychiatric disorders; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we explored the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs, along with their biological function and regulatory network, in mice after repeated social defeat (RSD) stress to explore their potential involvement in the development of anxiety-like behaviors. Main Methods RNA-sequencing was used to screen all differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs between the RSD and control groups. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used for confirmation of the RNA-sequencing results. The function of DE lncRNAs was predicted by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and pathway analyses of target mRNAs. In addition, the functional regulatory network of the target mRNAs was constructed to reveal potential relationships between lncRNAs and their target genes with bioinformatics approaches. Key Findings In mice experiencing RSD, 373 and 454 lncRNAs, along with 1142 and 654, mRNAs were significantly upregulated and downregulated, respectively. The detailed regulatory network included 126 eligible lncRNA-mRNA pairs. Among them, 14 genes such as Arhgef1, Chchd2, Fam107a, Dlg1, Nova2, Dpf1, and Shank3 involved in neurite growth, neural development, and synaptic plasticity were direct targets of the DE lncRNAs. qRT-PCR of four of the DE lncRNAs and mRNAs confirmed the reliability of RNA-sequencing. GO clustering analyses showed that the top enriched biological process, cellular component, and molecular function terms were synaptic transmission, neuron spine, and glutamate receptor binding, respectively. Further, the top three significant enriched pathways were synaptic adhesion-like molecule (SALM) protein interactions at the synapses, trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors, as well as glutamate binding, activation of AMPA receptors, and synaptic plasticity. Significance Hundreds of lncRNAs and mRNAs are dysregulated after RSD, and many of these lncRNAs might participate in the development of anxiety-like behaviors via multiple complex mechanisms such as target regulation. Available informatics evidence highlighted the likely role of synapse dysfunction and abnormal synaptic neurotransmission in these behaviors. Thus, our findings provide potential candidate biomarkers or intervention targets for chronic psychological stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons are involved in diverse neurological functions, including control of movements, emotions or reward. In turn, their dysfunctions cause severe clinical manifestations in humans, such as the appearance of motor and cognitive symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease. The physiology and pathophysiology of these neurons are widely studied, mostly with respect to molecular mechanisms implicating protein-coding genes. In contrast, the contribution of non-coding elements of the genome to DA neuron function is poorly investigated. In this study, we isolated DA neurons from E14.5 ventral mesencephalons in mice, and used RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to establish and describe repertoires of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and putative DNA regulatory regions specific to this neuronal population. We identified 1,294 lncRNAs constituting the repertoire of DA neurons, among which 939 were novel. Most of them were not found in hindbrain serotonergic (5-HT) neurons, indicating a high degree of cell-specificity. This feature was also observed regarding open chromatin regions, as 39% of the ATAC-seq peaks from the DA repertoire were not detected in the 5-HT neurons. Our work provides for the first time DA-specific catalogues of non-coding elements of the genome that will undoubtedly participate in deepening our knowledge regarding DA neuronal development and dysfunctions.

Baduanjin exerts anti-diabetic and anti-depression effects by regulating the expression of mRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA. Chin Med 2019; 14:3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese exercise therapy, has been widely used in China to treat type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with depression (DD). However, the underlying mechanism of Baduanjin in anti-DD is unclear. This study was focused on investigating the effects of Baduanjin on symptoms of depression and blood glucose in patients with DD and the underlying mechanism. METHODS We performed a 12-week Baduanjin intervention on patients with DD and longitudinally compared the differential expressions of lncRNAs, circRNAs, and mRNAs between pre- (BDD) and post- (ADD) Baduanjin intervention in the same group. Subsequently, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analysis was performed to investigate the function of differentially expressed mRNAs. Finally, Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was used to verify the sequencing result and the mRNA-lncRNA regulatory network was constructed. RESULTS The blood glucose level, depression index scores, and PHQ9 scores of the patients with DD were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) after Baduanjin intervention. Compared to BDD, 207 lncRNAs, 266 circRNAs, and 610 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified in ADD. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and GO showed that the significantly dysregulated mRNAs were mainly involved in immune function and inflammatory response pathways, and various signaling pathways including IL-17 and TNF. In addition, we selected five differentially expressed lncRNAs to construct an lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network, and found a total of 1045 mRNAs associated with them. CONCLUSIONS Our research is the first systematic profiling of mRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA in patients of ADD and BDD, and provides valuable insights in the potential mechanism of Baduanjin in anti-DD. Further, it was confirmed that Baduanjin is a safe and effective intervention for patients with DD because it can effectively ameliorate the symptoms of depression and blood glucose levels in patients with DD by regulating the dysregulated expression of lncRNA, mRNA, and circRNA.
