Abstract

目的

探讨lncRNA在胎盘植入中的表达特征及潜在的ceRNA调控机制。

方法

随机选取2017年12月~2018年6月于我院行剖宫产合并胎盘植入的植入部分胎盘组织与邻近正常胎盘组织各5例,采用基因芯片技术检测组织lncRNA的表达水平;植入组与对照组比较,筛选差异表达lncRNAs;随机选取5个差异表达lncRNAs进行实时荧光定量PCR检测,验证基因芯片结果的准确性与可靠性,对差异表达基因进行GO功能聚类分析及KEGG通路分析;选取芯片扫描与qRT-PCR结果均显示显著差异的ENST00000511361(RP5-875H18.4)、NR_027457(LINC00221)和NR_126415(FOXP4-AS1)3条lncRNAs构建ceRNA调控网络。

结果

植入组与对照组比较,筛选出329个差异表达lncRNAs与179个差异表达mRNAs,实时荧光定量PCR变化趋势与芯片结果相一致;差异表达mRNAs主要参与TGF-β通路的调控;ceRNA调控网络的构建提示RP5-875H18.4--miRNA-218-- SLIT2在胎盘植入的发生中存在潜在ceRNA调节机制。

结论

差异表达lncRNAs可能通过调控TGF-β通路参与胎盘植入的发生发展过程,RP5-875H18.4--miRNA-218--SLIT2在胎盘植入的发生中存在潜在ceRNA调节机制,但该结果还需进一步验证。

胎盘植入是胎盘绒毛异常侵入子宫肌层的一种产科并发症,根据胎盘绒毛侵入子宫肌层深度分为:胎盘粘连(胎盘绒毛黏附于子宫肌层表面),胎盘植入(胎盘绒毛深入子宫肌壁间未到达子宫浆膜层)以及穿透性胎盘植入(胎盘绒毛穿过子宫肌层到达或超过子宫浆膜层甚至侵入膀胱或者其他器官)[1]。胎盘植入是产科最严重的并发症之一,由于胎盘绒毛异常侵袭,胎盘难以从子宫分离,导致在尝试分离胎盘的过程中常引起大出血,大出血又会带来继发感染、多器官功能衰竭、DIC、失血性休克甚至产妇死亡[2]。胎盘植入的早期诊断有利于将此类型的危重孕产妇往高级别医院分流,对降低孕产妇不良结局意义重大。然而,目前胎盘植入的分娩前诊断主要依靠超声及影像学检查,到目前为止仍然有1/2~2/3的孕妇被漏诊[3]。为了提高孕产妇预后,寻找胎盘植入新的生物标志物,了解胎盘植入发生的分子机制将有助于合并胎盘植入孕产妇的早期诊断与治疗。

近年来的研究发现,lncRNA能在表达遗传调控、转录及转录后调控等多层面调控基因表达,并与靶基因构成复杂的调控网络,参与机体的病理生理过程[4-5],人类胎盘中发现的具有调节作用的lncRNA数量也急剧上升[6-7]。研究表明,许多胎盘lncRNA通过调节滋养细胞分化、增殖与迁移参与了子痫前期[8]、胎儿生长受限[9]、妊娠期糖尿病[10]、早产[11]、未足月胎膜早破[11]等疾病,有学者发现lncRNA MALAT1参与了胎盘植入[12],但是lncRNA在胎盘植入中的表达谱特征及调控网络尚未有完整研究报道。因此,本研究采用lncRNA芯片技术筛选胎盘植入患者差异表达lncRNA,并对相应的lncRNA进行基因调控网络分析,从而以lncRNA为切入点揭示胎盘植入发生的分子机制,为寻找胎盘植入的早期诊断生物标志物提供新的依据。

此外,为了解差异表达基因聚集的分子调节通路,我们还进行了KEGG通路分析。结果显示,上调基因主要聚集的通路为TGF-beta signaling pathway(ko04350);下调基因主要聚集在cAMP signaling pathway(ko04024)。

2.4. ceRNA调控网络构建

为更深入了解差异表达lncRNA是否通过ceRNA机制参与了胎盘植入的形成,我们挑选了芯片扫描与qRT-PCR结果均显示显著差异的ENST00000511361(RP5-875H18.4)、NR_027457(LINC00221)和NR_ 126415(FOXP4-AS1)3条lncRNAs进行构建,最终获得的ceRNA network包含了3条lncRNAs、47条mRNAs与325个miRNAs(图 2)。

3. 讨论

lncRNA参与细胞的生命活动,其表达异常与多种疾病的发生发展相关。既往研究曾报道lncRNA MALAT1参与胎盘植入的发生[12],lncRNA通过与miRNA竞争mRNAs结合位点调节mRNA表达[13],可能影响胎盘植入的发生发展,但目前仍未有对胎盘植入lncRNA表达特征全面深入的研究。在本研究中,我们发现lncRNA和mRNA在植入胎盘组织和正常胎盘组织之间的表达存在明显差异。在植入部分胎盘组织中,共筛选出329个差异表达lncRNAs(101个上调,228个下调,倍数变化>1.5,P < 0.05)和179个差异表达mRNA(95个上调,84个下调,倍数变化>1.5,P < 0.05),表明lncRNAs可能在胎盘植入的形成过程中发挥了重要作用。为了验证我们的基因芯片结果的可靠性和可重复性,随机选取了2个上调的和3个下调的lncRNA在5对标本中进行实时荧光定量PCR检测,qRT-PCR的结果与芯片扫描结果是一致的,表明芯片扫描结果具有很好的可靠性。

我们对差异表达基因进行GO功能聚类分析显示,所有失调基因的前三个功能都富集在蛋白质细胞外基质、细胞外基质(ECM)和细胞外基质成分。在生物学中,ECM是由细胞合成并分泌到胞外、分布在细胞表面或细胞之间的大分子,其支持并连接组织结构、调节组织的发生和细胞的生理活动,其主要组成包括胶原蛋白、弹性蛋白、蛋白多糖和糖蛋白等[14]。在既往的研究中已发现ECM与胎盘和滋养细胞的侵袭相关,如Haimov-Kochman等[15]发现一种名叫酸乙酰肝素蛋白多糖的ECM成分,在胎盘和蜕膜中富集,它们的降解可以促进胎盘和滋养细胞的侵袭。Borbely等[16]研究表明,一些ECM组分如decorin和biglycan是富含亮氨酸的蛋白多糖家族的成员,它们与胎盘侵袭性疾病相关。因此,ECM可能在胎盘植入过程中发挥重要作用。然而,既往研究中尚未发现多细胞生物体过程和胎盘基底板与胎盘植入、滋养细胞侵袭的关系,本研究中GO功能分析结果表明,多细胞生物体过程和胎盘基底板与胎盘植入的发生密切相关。Kuo等[17]研究报道,胎盘基底板中超过80%为ECM蛋白组成的基底膜蛋白,而对于有效的细胞滋养层侵袭是必不可少的,我们推测胎盘基底板通过基底膜蛋白影响胎盘植入的发生。而关于多细胞生物体过程与胎盘和滋养细胞侵袭的研究国内外尚未有相关报道,其作用机制有待于我们进一步研究。

本研究中,KEGG通路分析的结果与GO功能聚类分析的结果是一致的,DEmRNA的KEGG通路分析显示,6种上调的通路和11种下调的通路共同参与胎盘植入的发生发展,对于上调的mRNA,最主要聚集的通路为TGF-β通路。目前的研究发现,TGF-β通路调节许多细胞过程,包括上皮间质转化(EMT)[18-20]、ECM再生和胎盘形成[21]。虽然尚缺乏关于lncRNA调控胎盘植入发生发展的研究报道,但基于本研究提供的线索,差异表达lncRNA可能通过调控TGF-β通路,调节ECM再生和胎盘形成,从而促进胎盘植入的发生发展。

越来越多的研究发现,ceRNA在许多生物过程中起着关键作用,尤其是癌细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭[22-24],至今已经发现超过10 000个lncRNA作为潜在的ceRNA起作用[25]。本研究挑选了芯片扫描与qRT-PCR结果均显示显著差异的ENST00000511361(RP5- 875H18.4)、NR_027457(LINC00221)和NR_126415(FOXP4-AS1)3条lncRNAs进行构建,成功构建了基于lncRNA/ miRNA/mRNA间的相互作用的ceRNA调控网络,与正常胎盘组织相比,通过基因芯片检测和qRT-PCR证实RP5-875H18.4(lncRNA-ENST00000511361)在胎盘植入中表达降低,RP5-875H18.4(lncRNA-ENST00000511361)作为表达下调的第top26的lncRNA,起到上调SLIT2的作用。既往的研究已表明,SLIT2受miRNA-218调节,miRNA-218是RP5-875H18.4和SLIT2共有的miRNA之一[26],SLIT2/ROBO信号调节滋养细胞分化[27]、血管再生[28-29]和侵袭过程[27-28],并在糖尿病[30]、子痫前期[29]、异位妊娠[28]和先兆流产[27]中起着重要作用。因此我们推测RP5-875H18.4-miRNA-218-SLIT2在胎盘植入的发生中存在潜在ceRNA调节机制,该ceRNA网络中的所有RNA都有可能成为胎盘植入诊断的生物标志物,其在胎盘植入过程中的潜在作用需要在将来研究中进一步验证。

综上所述,本研究找到的差异表达lncRNAs和mRNAs可能参与了胎盘植入的发生,差异表达lncRNAs可能通过调控TGF-β通路,调节ECM的生成与胎盘的形成,进而参与胎盘植入的发生。此外,我们还构建的差异表达lncRNA相关的ceRNA调控网络,其中RP5-875H18.4--miRNA-218--SLIT2可能在胎盘植入的发生中存在潜在ceRNA调节机制,它们可以作为分娩前诊断胎盘植入潜在的生物标志物。
