[PMID: 36970372 PMCID: PMC10031284 DOI: 10.1016/j.ncrna.2023.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), specifically long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), regulate cellular processes by affecting gene expression at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels. Emerging evidence indicates that pathogenic microbes dysregulate the expression of host lncRNAs to suppress cellular defense mechanisms and promote survival. To understand whether the pathogenic human mycoplasmas dysregulate host lncRNAs, we infected HeLa cells with Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg) and Mycoplasma penumoniae (Mp) and assessed the expression of lncRNAs by directional RNA-seq analysis. HeLa cells infected with these species showed up-and-down regulation of lncRNAs expression, indicating that both species can modulate host lncRNAs. However, the number of upregulated (200 for Mg and 112 for Mp) and downregulated lncRNAs (30 for Mg and 62 for Mp) differ widely between these two species. GREAT analysis of the noncoding regions associated with differentially expressed lncRNAs showed that Mg and Mp regulate a discrete set of lncRNA plausibly related to transcription, metabolism, and inflammation. Further, signaling network analysis of the differentially regulated lncRNAs exhibited diverse pathways such as neurodegeneration, NOD-like receptor signaling, MAPK signaling, p53 signaling, and PI3K signaling, suggesting that both species primarily target signaling mechanisms. Overall, the study's results suggest that Mg and Mp modulate lncRNAs to promote their survival within the host but in distinct manners.

Both Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria sicca Induce Cytokine Secretion by Infected Human Cells, but Only Neisseria gonorrhoeae Upregulates the Expression of Long Non-Coding RNAs. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11040394.

Abstract
Bacteria of the Neisseria genus are Gram-negative diplococci including both pathogenic and commensal species. We focused on pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoeae and commensal Neisseria sicca. We have demonstrated that not only N. gonorrhoeae, but also N. sicca induce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and chemokines CXCL8 and CCL20 by infected epithelial cells. However, N. sicca triggers a lesser effect than does N. gonorrhoeae. Furthermore, N. gonorrhoeae and N. sicca invoke distinct effects on the expression of genes (JUNB, FOSB, NFKB1, NFKBIA) encoding protein components of AP-1 and NF-κB transcription factors. We have also shown that the infection of epithelial cells by N. gonorrhoeae leads to significant overexpression of the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including MALAT1, ERICD, and RP11-510N19.5. This effect was not identified for N. sicca. In conclusion, data on the expression of lncRNAs and cytokine secretion in response to Neisseria spp. exposure indicate new directions for research on Neisseria-host interactions and can provide further insights into virulence of not only pathogenic, but also commensal Neisseria spp.

Abstract
By analysis of lncRNA expression profiles of macrophages in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, we identified novel highly expressed transcripts, unique in encompassing a protein coding transcript- Cytidine Monophosphate Kinase 2 (CMPK2) and a previously identified lncRNA- Negative Regulator of Interferon Response (NRIR). While these transcripts (TILT1, 2,3 - TLR4 and Infection induced Long Transcript) are induced by virulent Mtb as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) early, lack of/delayed expression in non-viable Mtb/BCG infected cells, respectively, suggest an important role in macrophage responses. The elevated expression by 3 hr in response to fast growing bacteria further emphasizes the importance of these RNAs in the macrophage infection response. Overall, we provide evidence for the presence of multiple transcripts that form a part of the early infection response programme of macrophages.Abbreviations: IFN: Interferon; NRIR: negative regulator of interferon response; CMPK2: cytidine/ uridine monophosphate kinase; LPS: lipopolysaccharide; LAM: Lipoarabinomannan; PIMs: Phosphatidylinositol Mannosides; TILT1, 2,3: TLR4 and Infection induced Long Transcript; TLR4: Toll-like receptor 4; Mtb: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; BCG: Mycobacterium bovis BCG; MDMs: human monocyte derived macrophages.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2021; 11:701352. [PMID: 34568091 PMCID: PMC8460124 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2021.701352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens in the world, but the exact pathogenic mechanism still needs to be further elucidated. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become vital regulators in many biological processes. Their role in the interaction between Ct and host cells has not been reported. Methods Microarrays were used to study the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in HeLa cells at 12, 24, and 40 h post-infection (hpi). Differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were verified by RT-qPCR. Coding-non-coding (CNC) network analysis showed co-expression molecules of selected lncRNA. Western blot, flow cytometry, and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the effect of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 on apoptosis during Ct infection. Results Compared with the uninfected group, the number of differential lncRNAs were 2,130, 1,081, and 1,101 at 12, 24, and 40 hpi, and the number of differential mRNAs was 1,998, 1,129, and 1,330, respectively. Ct induced differential expression of large amounts of lncRNAs and mRNAs in HeLa cells, indicating that lncRNAs may play roles in the pathogenesis of Ct. RT-qPCR verified six differential lncRNAs and six differential mRNAs, confirming the reliability of the microarray. Among these molecules, lncRNA FGD5-AS1 was found to be upregulated at 12 and 24 hpi. Coding-non-coding (CNC) network analysis showed that co-expressed differential molecules of FGD5-AS1 at 12 and 24 hpi were enriched in the DNA replication and Wnt signaling pathway. The downregulation of FGD5-AS1 decreased the expression of β-catenin and inhibited the translocation of β-catenin and the DNA replication, while it promoted apoptosis of the host cells. Conclusions DNA replication and apoptosis of host cells were affected by upregulating FGD5-AS1 via Wnt/β-catenin pathway during Ct infection. This study provides evidence that lncRNAs are involved in the coaction between Ct and hosts, and provides new insights into the study of lncRNAs that regulate chlamydial infection.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) involves in fibrotic diseases, but its role in nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs)-induced pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. The present study aimed to explore the relationships among MEG3, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway in NiO NPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Wistar rats were intratracheally instilled with NiO NPs twice a week for 9 weeks, and human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (A549 cells) were exposed to NiO NPs for 24 h. The pathological alterations and increased hydroxyproline indicated that NiO NPs caused pulmonary fibrosis in rats. The up-regulated type I collagen (Col-I) suggested that NiO NPs-induced collagen deposition in A549 cells. Meanwhile, NiO NPs could significantly down-regulate MEG3, up-regulate TGF-β1 and activate PI3K/AKT signaling pathway both in vivo and in vitro. However, we found that the PI3K/AKT pathway activated by NiO NPs could be suppressed by 10 μM TGF-β1 inhibitor (SB431542) in A549 cells. The protein markers (Col-I, Fibronectin, and alpha-smooth muscle actin) of collagen deposition up-regulated by NiO NPs were reduced by 10 μM PI3K inhibitor (LY294002). Furthermore, we further found that overexpressed MEG3 inhibited the expression of TGF-β1, resulting in the inactivation of PI3K/AKT pathway and the reduction of collagen formation. In summary, our results validated that MEG3 could arrest NiO NPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis via inhibiting TGF-β1-mediated PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) can lead to high mortality rates relative to other foodborne pathogens. Lm-induced inflammation is partly characterized by macrophage activation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in various biological processes. However, it is unknown how lncRNAs regulate the host response to Lm infection. To identify the role of lncRNA in Lm infection, we used in vitro and in vivo models. We found that lincRNA-Cox2 was highly expressed in Lm-infected RAW264.7 cells. LincRNA-Cox2 knockdown resulted in reduced proinflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, migration ability and enhanced phagocytosis of Lm. LincRNA-Cox2 knockdown also reduced the phosphorylation of Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3) and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB P65, which are known to be involved in inflammatory responses. Experimentally inhibiting the protein and phosphorylation levels of STAT3 resulted in reduced proinflammatory cytokines and enhanced phagocytosis of Lm by the RAW264.7 cells. Our research suggests that lincRNA-Cox2 plays important roles in inflammation, the phagocytic function and cell migration ability of RAW264.7 cells by activating interleukin (IL)-6/JAK3/STAT3 signaling, and lincRNA-Cox2 also regulates NF-κB P65 nuclear translocation. Our research provides new insights into the regulatory role of lincRNA-Cox2 in Lm infection.

Abstract
Infectious and inflammatory diseases remain major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. To combat bacterial infections, the mammalian immune system employs a myriad of regulators, which secure the effective initiation of inflammatory responses while preventing pathologies due to overshooting immunity. Recently, the human genome has been shown to be pervasively transcribed and to generate thousands of still poorly characterized long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). A growing body of literature suggests that lncRNAs play important roles in the regulatory circuitries controlling innate and adaptive immune responses to bacterial pathogens. This review provides an overview of the roles of lncRNAs in the interaction of human and rodent host cells with bacterial pathogens. Further decoding of the lncRNA networks that underlie pathological inflammation and immune subversion could provide new insights into the host cell mechanisms and microbial strategies that determine the outcome of bacterial infections. This article is categorized under: RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > Protein-RNA Interactions: Functional Implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis, one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide, is difficult to diagnose. As long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were demonstrated to be promising biomarkers, we aimed to identify lncRNAs in plasma as potential biomarkers for tuberculosis. METHODS We analyzed a GEO dataset (GSE94907) to identify the differential lncRNAs in serum exosomes between active tuberculosis (ATB) patients and healthy controls. To search for promising candidates that can be used for tuberculosis diagnosis, we excluded low-abundance lncRNAs using a cutoff value of FPKM >5. Four lncRNAs were selected for validation using real-time quantitative PCR in 69 ATB patients and 69 healthy individuals. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the diagnostic value of these lncRNAs for ATB. RESULTS Integrated analysis of the GEO dataset and NONCODE database identified nine dysregulated lncRNAs in ATB patient serum exosomes. Compared with the heathy controls, NONHSAT101518.2, NONHSAT067134.2, NONHSAT148822.1 and NONHSAT078957.2 were significantly downregulated in ATB patient plasma. ROC curve analysis suggests that these four lncRNAs can discriminate ATB from healthy individuals with high specificity and sensitivity. CONCLUSION We identified four differentially expressed lncRNAs in ATB patient plasma that can be used as potential diagnostic biomarkers of ATB.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), a serious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains the world's top infectious killer. It is well-established that TB can circumvent the host's immune response for long-term survival. Macrophages serve as the major host cells for TB growth and persistence and their altered functions are critical for the response of the host defense against TB exposure (elimination, latency, reactivation, and bacillary dissemination). Noncoding RNAs are crucial posttranscriptional regulators of macrophage discrimination. Therefore, this review highlights the regulatory mechanism underlying the relationship between noncoding RNAs and macrophages in TB infection, which may facilitate the identification of potential therapeutic targets and effective diagnosis biomarkers for TB disease.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis remains an important disease threatening the security of public health, and no effective targets have been found for the immunological diagnosis or therapy of tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between lncRNA CASC8 genetic polymorphism and tuberculosis risk. Method A total of 900 tuberculosis patients and 1534 healthy individuals in the Western Chinese Han population were recruited for our study. Candidate SNPs of CASC8 were initially filtered by importing the 1000 genomes database into Haploview, and subsequently genotyped using modified multiplex ligation detection reactions. Results The lncRNA CASC8 genetic variant rs7836840 was associated with an increased tuberculosis risk with a P‐value of .034, but .134 after Bonferroni correction. Using subtype analysis, the C allele in rs7836840 showed a significant association with tuberculosis susceptibility (OR = 1.196, 95% CI = 1.05‐1.362, P = .02739 after Bonferroni correction). Patients carrying genotype AG and GG of rs7825118 and rs9297758 exhibited lower Hb concentrations (P = .006) and neutrophil counts (P = .015), respectively, while genotype AG and AA in rs6981424 demonstrated higher levels of ALT (P = .005) and AST (P = .033) in a dominant model, which were consistent with a tendency toward increased TB risk. Conclusions This study was the first to explore the association between lncRNA CASC8 polymorphisms and TB infection risk and clinical manifestations. Our results provide evidence that CASC8 may act as a biomarker for the progression of clinical tuberculosis.

Abstract
Autophagy and inflammasomes are shown to interact in various situations including
infectious disease, cancer, diabetes and neurodegeneration. Since multiple layers of
molecular regulators contribute to the interplay between autophagy and inflammasome
activation, the detail of such interplay remains largely unknown. Non-coding RNAs
(ncRNAs), which have been implicated in regulating an expanding list of cellular processes
including immune defense against pathogens and inflammatory response in cancer and
metabolic diseases, may join in the crosstalk between inflammasomes and autophagy in
physiological or disease conditions. In this review, we summarize the latest research on
the interlink among ncRNAs, inflammasomes and autophagy and discuss the emerging role of
these three in multiple signaling transduction pathways involved in clinical conditions.
By analyzing these intriguing interconnections, we hope to unveil the mechanism
inter-regulating these multiple processes and ultimately discover potential drug targets
for some refractory diseases.
