[PMID: 38631653 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148475] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally despite advancements in treatment. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in the atherosclerotic process, with ANRIL being one such lncRNA. This study explored the association between ANRIL polymorphisms (rs1333049:C > G, rs564398:T > C, and rs10757274:A > G) and CAD along with CAD risk factors in a Turkish patient group. METHODS The study included 1285 participants, consisting of 736 patients diagnosed with CAD (mean age = 63.3 ± 10.5 years) and 549 non-CAD controls (mean age = 57.52 ± 11.01 years). Genotypes for rs1333049, rs564398, and rs10757274 were determined using qRT-PCR. RESULTS G allele carriage of both rs1333049 and rs10757274 polymorphisms were associated with higher Gensini score, SYNTAX score, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in female CAD patients and non-CAD males. Females with rs564398 CC genotype were more susceptible to CAD (p = 0.02) and severe CAD (p = 0.05). Moreover, the G and T alleles of rs10757274 and rs564398 were more prevalent among hypertensive males. Also, carrying the C allele for rs564398 was associated with a decreased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (p = 0.02). Besides, carriers of the rs1333049 C allele for decreased risk for T2DM (p = 0.03) and CAD complexed with T2DM (p = 0.04) in logistic regression analyses. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, selected ANRIL polymorphisms were associated with CAD presence/severity and CAD risk factors, T2DM, and hypertension. Notably, this study, the largest sample-sized study examining the effects of selected polymorphisms on CAD and its risk factors among Turkish individuals, supported the findings of previous studies conducted on different ethnicities.

Abstract
There is a significant mortality rate associated with cardiovascular disease despite advances in treatment. long Non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in many biological processes and their dysregulation is associated with a wide range of diseases in which their downstream pathways are disrupted. A lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) is well known as a factor that regulates the physiological process of chromosome dosage compensation for females. According to recent studies, lncRNA XIST is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, oxidative stress and inflammation, through molecular networks with microRNAs and their downstream targets in neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Because these cellular processes play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, we aim to investigate the role that lncRNA XIST plays in this process. Additionally, we wish to determine whether it is a prognostic factor or a potential therapeutic target in these diseases.

Single-cell sequencing analysis confirms the association of ANRIL with the increased smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration gene signatures in pulmonary artery hypertension in silico. Adv Med Sci 2024; 69:217-223. [PMID: 38631609 DOI: 10.1016/j.advms.2024.04.002] [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: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Smooth muscle cell (SMC) dysregulation is part of the pathological basis of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). We aimed to explore the heterogeneity of SMCs in PAH. METHODS The profile GSE210248 was obtained from NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus, containing the scRNA-seq data of pulmonary arteries (PA) from three patients with PAH and three healthy donors. After quality control, normalization, and dimension reduction, cell clustering analysis was performed. Differential expression analysis and functional enrichment analysis were carried out successively in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The enrichment scores of cell cycle and cell migration gene sets in SMCs were calculated. Then, the Spearman correlation coefficients between antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) expression and two gene sets were computed. RESULTS Eight cell clusters were identified in PA from samples. The proportion of SMCs was increased in PAH samples. SMCs were divided into five subclusters with diverse biological functions. Muscle contraction-related SMC1 was decreased, while extracellular matrix organization-related SMC2, immune and inflammatory response-related SMC4 and SMC5 were increased in PAH samples compared with healthy donors. The enrichment scores of cell cycle and cell migration gene sets in SMCs were higher in PAH samples than in donors. ANRIL was down-regulated significantly in PAH samples and was negatively related to the scores of two gene sets. CONCLUSION SMCs exhibited significant heterogeneity in PAH. The altered abilities of SMC proliferation and migration in PAH were associated with ANRIL expression.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a devastating complication of diabetes, having extensive and resilient effects on those who suffer from it. As yet, the underlying cell mechanisms of this microvascular disorder are largely unclear. Recently, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms can be responsible for gene deregulation leading to the alteration of key processes in the development and progression of DR, in addition to the widely recognized pathological mechanisms. It is noteworthy that seemingly unending epigenetic modifications, caused by a prolonged period of hyperglycemia, may be a prominent factor that leads to metabolic memory, and brings epigenetic entities such as non-coding RNA into the equation. Consequently, further investigation is necessary to truly understand this mechanism. Exosomes are responsible for carrying signals from cells close to the vasculature that are participating in abnormal signal transduction to faraway organs and cells by sailing through the bloodstream. These signs indicate metabolic disorders. With the aid of their encased structure, they can store diverse signaling molecules, which then can be dispersed into the blood, urine, and tears. Herein, we summarized various non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are related to DR pathogenesis. Moreover, we highlighted the role of exosomal ncRNAs in this disease.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), a prevalent cardiovascular disease, is fundamentally precipitated by thrombus formation in the coronary arteries, which subsequently decreases myocardial perfusion and leads to cellular necrosis. The intricacy of MI pathogenesis necessitates extensive research to elucidate the disease's root cause, thereby addressing the limitations present in its diagnosis and prognosis. With the continuous advancement of genomics technology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and transcriptomics are widely used in the study of MI, which provides an excellent way to identify new biomarkers that elucidate the complex mechanisms of MI. This paper provides a detailed review of various genomics studies of MI, including genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and multi-omics studies. The metabolites and proteins involved in the pathogenesis of MI are investigated through integrated protein-protein interactions and multi-omics analysis by STRING and Metascape platforms. In conclusion, the future of omics research in myocardial infarction offers significant promise.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is characterized by chronic inflammation of the arterial wall. However, the exact mechanism underlying atherosclerosis-related inflammation has not been fully elucidated. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the inflammatory process that leads to atherosclerosis, there is need to identify novel molecular markers. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have gained prominence in recent years. LncRNAs/circRNAs act as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) that bind to miRNAs via microRNA response elements (MREs), thereby inhibiting the silencing of miRNA target mRNAs. Inflammatory mediators and inflammatory signaling pathways are closely regulated by ceRNA regulatory networks in atherosclerosis. In this review, we discuss the role of LncRNA/CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis in atherosclerotic inflammation and how it can be targeted for early clinical detection and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The linear long non-coding RNA P14AS has previously been reported to be dysregulated in colon cancer, but the mechanistic role that P14AS plays in colon cancer progression has yet to be clarified. Accordingly, this study was developed to explore the regulatory functions of ANRIL linear transcript-P14AS in cancer. METHODS The expression of P14AS, ANRIL, miR-23a-5p and their target genes were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Cell supernatants of IL6 and IL8 were measured by Enzyme linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assays, RNA immunoprecipitation, or pull-down assays were used to confirm the target association between miR-23a-5p and P14AS or UBE2D3. Cell proliferation and chemosensitivity of NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7085 were evaluated by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8). RESULTS When P14AS was overexpressed in colon cancer cell lines, enhanced TNF-NF-κB signaling pathway activity was observed together with increases in IL6 and IL8 expression. The Pita, miRanda, and RNA hybrid databases revealed the ability of miR-23a-5p to interact with P14AS, while UBE2D3 was further identified as a miR-23a-5p target gene. The results of dual-luciferase reporter, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed these direct interactions among P14AS/miR-23a-5p/UBE2D3. The degradation of IκBa mediated by UBE2D3 may contribute to enhanced NF-κB signaling in these cells. Moreover, the beneficial impact of P14AS on colon cancer cell growth was eliminated when cells were treated with miR-23a-5p inhibitors or UBE2D3 was silenced. As such, these findings strongly supported a role for the UBE2D3/IκBa/NF-κB signaling axis as a mediator of the ability of P14AS to promote colon cancer progression. CONCLUSIONS These data suggested a mechanism through which the linear ANRIL transcript P14AS can promote inflammation and colon cancer progression through the sequestration of miR-23a-5p and the modulation of NF-κB signaling activity, thus highlighting P14AS as a promising target for therapeutic intervention efforts.

Abstract
ANRIL (Antisense Noncoding RNA in the INK4 Locus), a long non-coding RNA encoded in the human chromosome 9p21 region, is a critical factor for regulating gene expression by interacting with multiple proteins and miRNAs. It has been found to play important roles in various cellular processes, including cell cycle control and proliferation. Dysregulation of ANRIL has been associated with several diseases like cancers and cardiovascular diseases, for instance. Understanding the oncogenic role of ANRIL and its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in cancer is crucial. This review provides insights into the regulatory mechanisms and oncogenic significance of the 9p21 locus and ANRIL in cancer.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction has increasingly become a global health problem and is a primary cause of cardiovascular disease-related death. Although long noncoding RNAs have been reported to play an important role in various cardiovascular diseases, their protective effects on cardiomyocytes against reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative injury have nonetheless been poorly studied. The present study aims to explore the effect of a novel long noncoding RNA, NONHSAT098487.2, on cardiomyocyte injury induced by H2O2. The expression of NONHSAT098487.2 and pathway-related genes was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell viability, release of lactate dehydrogenase, and apoptosis levels were detected by cell counting kit-8, lactate dehydrogenase release assay, and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The protein levels were estimated by western blotting. The results showed that NONHSAT098487.2 was expressed at a high level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from acute myocardial infarction patients, which showed a positive correlation with the HS-TnT and CK-MB levels of patients. Furthermore, it is also upregulated in human AC16 cardiomyocytes treated with H2O2 or exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation conditions. Knockdown of NONHSAT098487.2 restrained the Notch signalling pathway and aggravated H2O2-induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress injury. In contrast, overexpression of NONHSAT098487.2 activated the Notch signalling pathway and suppressed H2O2-induced oxidative stress injury. However, the Notch inhibitor DAPT weakened the protective effects of NONHSAT098487.2. Therefore, the novel lncRNA NONHSAT098487.2 may play a role in protecting cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress injury by regulating the Notch pathway.

Abstract
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 9p21 region have been associated with cardiovascular disease and to a lesser extent insulin sensitivity. Previous studies have focused on older populations, and few have examined the impact of gene-diet interactions. The objective of this study was to determine the interaction between dietary patterns and 9p21 genotypes on insulin sensitivity in young adults from different ethnic groups. Methods: Subjects were 1,333 participants aged 20–29 years from the Toronto Nutrigenomics and Health Study (405 men and 928 women; 776 Caucasians and 557 East Asians). Fasting blood was collected to measure glucose, insulin, c-reactive protein and serum lipids, as well as to isolate DNA for genotyping subjects for five SNPs in 9p21 (rs10757274, rs10757278, rs1333049, rs2383206, and rs4977574). Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and beta-cell dysfunction (HOMA-Beta) were calculated from fasting insulin and glucose concentrations. The Toronto-modified Harvard 196-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to measure dietary intake over 1 month and principal components analysis was used to identify three dietary patterns (Prudent, Western and Eastern). ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to examine gene-diet interactions on markers of insulin sensitivity. Results: Significant gene-diet interactions on insulin sensitivity using HOMA-IR were observed with all five SNPs, which remained significant after adjusting for covariates (p < 0.05). Among those who were homozygous for the 9p21 risk allele (rs1333049), fasting insulin was 40% higher in those who were consuming a low-prudent diet compared to those consuming a high-prudent diet (p < 0.05). No differences were observed between those following a low versus high-prudent diet among those who did not carry a 9p21 risk allele. Similar findings were observed with HOMA-Beta, however, the association was only significant for rs10757274 (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a prudent dietary pattern may protect against the effects of 9p21 risk genotypes on insulin sensitivity.
