Abstract:
:For the epigenetic characterization of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), we determined whether messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are expressed differentially in subjects with and without NMO. lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of NMO patients and healthy controls were generated by using microarray analysis. For comparison, the differentially expressed mRNA functions were annotated by using gene ontology (GO) and pathway analyses. The microarray revealed that 1310 lncRNAs and 743 mRNAs differed in NMO patients from those in healthy controls. Pathway analysis then demonstrated that IL23-mediated signaling events, interferon gamma signaling, natural killer (NK)-κB signaling pathway, chemokine receptors that bind chemokines, GPCR ligand binding, and metabolic disorders of biological oxidation enzyme pathways play important roles in NMO. Several GO terms including cytokine stimulus, response to cytokine, immune response, cytokine-mediated signaling pathway, and response to chemical cytokine activity were enriched in gene lists, suggesting a potential correlation with NMO. Co-expression network analysis indicated that 183 lncRNAs and 458 mRNAs were included in the co-expression network. Our present study showed that these differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs may play important roles in NMO and could provide basic information for new biomarkers or treatment targets to alleviate NMO.
