Abstract
Objective: This study aims to decode the proteomic signature of cardiomyocytes in response to lncRNA Ftx knockdown and overexpression via proteomic analysis, and to study the biological role of lncRNA Ftx in cardiomyocytes. METHODS: The expression level of the lncRNA Ftx in cardiomyocytes cultured in vitro was intervened, and the changes in protein levels in cardiomyocytes were quantitatively detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The key molecules and pathways of the lncRNA-Ftx response were further examined by GO, KEGG, and protein interaction analysis.
Results: A total of 2828 proteins are quantified. With a 1.5-fold change threshold, 32 upregulated proteins and 49 downregulated proteins are identified in the lncRNA Ftx overexpression group, while 67 up-regulated proteins and 54 down-regulated proteins are identified in the lncRNA Ftx knockdown group. Functional clustering analysis of differential genes revealed that the lncRNA Ftx is involved in regulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis and ferroptosis and improving cellular energy metabolism. In addition, Hub genes such as ITGB1, HMGA2, STAT3, GSS, and LPCAT3 are regulated downstream by lncRNA Ftx.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that lncRNA Ftx plays a vital role in cardiomyocytes and may be involved in the occurrence and development of various myocardial diseases. It provides a potential target for clinical protection of the myocardium and reversal of myocardial fibrosis.
期刊介绍:
Proteome Science is an open access journal publishing research in the area of systems studies. Proteome Science considers manuscripts based on all aspects of functional and structural proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, systems analysis and metabiome analysis. It encourages the submissions of studies that use large-scale or systems analysis of biomolecules in a cellular, organismal and/or environmental context.
Studies that describe novel biological or clinical insights as well as methods-focused studies that describe novel methods for the large-scale study of any and all biomolecules in cells and tissues, such as mass spectrometry, protein and nucleic acid microarrays, genomics, next-generation sequencing and computational algorithms and methods are all within the scope of Proteome Science, as are electron topography, structural methods, proteogenomics, chemical proteomics, stem cell proteomics, organelle proteomics, plant and microbial proteomics.
In spite of its name, Proteome Science considers all aspects of large-scale and systems studies because ultimately any mechanism that results in genomic and metabolomic changes will affect or be affected by the proteome. To reflect this intrinsic relationship of biological systems, Proteome Science will consider all such articles.
