诱导乳腺上皮细胞重编程前后miRNA表达谱差异分析

Differential analysis of miRNA expression profiles before and after induction of mammary epithelial cell reprogramming

  • 摘要: 为了探讨诱导乳腺上皮细胞重编程前后细胞miRNA的差异表达情况及细胞功能和命运的变化,试验基于小分子化合物诱导山羊耳缘成纤维细胞重编程为乳腺上皮细胞的现象,对诱导前后的细胞进行miRNA测序,并进一步对测序数据进行差异表达分析、差异miRNA靶基因预测、靶基因GO功能富集分析及KEGG通路富集分析。结果表明:与诱导前的成纤维细胞相比,重编程后的细胞共存在135个差异显著(P<0.05)的已知miRNA和11个差异显著(P<0.05)的新miRNA;且差异显著的miRNA靶基因主要富集在与乳腺发育和泌乳相关的发育过程、代谢过程、信号转导及催化活性等功能条目上,以及对乳腺发育分化和泌乳过程具有重要调控作用的催乳素信号通路、雌激素信号通路和PI3K-AKt信号通路上。说明重编程后细胞的性质及功能与重编程前相比发生了改变,即细胞命运发生了改变。

     

    Abstract: In order to investigate the differential expression of miRNAs and changes in cell function and fate before and after induction of mammary epithelial cell reprogramming, miRNA sequencing was performed on the cells before and after reprogramming, based on the finding that small molecule compounds induced the reprogramming of goat ear margin fibroblasts into mammary epithelial cells. The sequencing results were used for different expression analysis, different miRNA target gene prediction, target gene GO function enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. The results showed that there were 135 known miRNAs with significant differences(P<0.05) and 11 new miRNAs with significant differences(P<0.05) in the reprogrammed cells, compared to those fibroblasts. The different miRNA target genes were found to be mainly enriched in functional items such as developmental process, metabolic process, signal transduction and catalytic activity related to mammary gland development and lactation, as well as the prolactin signaling pathway, estrogen signaling pathway and PI3 K-AKt signaling pathway affecting mammary gland development regulation, differentiation and lactation. It could be deduced that the properties and functions of cells could be changed after reprogramming, compared to those before reprogramming, indicating that cell fate was transformed.
