Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown pathogenesis with no effective treatment currently available. Given the regulatory roles of lncRNAs (TP53TG1, LINC00342, H19, MALAT1, DNM3OS, MEG3), miRNAs (miR-218-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-200a-3p, miR-18a-5p, miR-29a-3p), and their target protein-coding genes (PTEN, TGFB2, FOXO3, KEAP1) in the TGF-β/SMAD3, Wnt/β-catenin, focal adhesion, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, we investigated the expression levels of selected genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and lung tissue from patients with IPF. Lung tissue and blood samples were collected from 33 newly diagnosed, treatment-naive patients and 70 healthy controls. Gene expression levels were analyzed by RT-qPCR. TaqMan assays and TaqMan MicroRNA assay were employed to quantify the expression of target lncRNAs, mRNAs, and miRNAs. Our study identified significant differential expression in PBMCs from IPF patients compared to healthy controls, including lncRNAs MALAT1 (Fold Change = 3.809, P = 0.0001), TP53TG1 (Fold Change = 0.4261, P = 0.0021), and LINC00342 (Fold Change = 1.837, P = 0.0448); miRNAs miR-126-3p (Fold Change = 0.102, P = 0.0028), miR-200a-3p (Fold Change = 0.442, P = 0.0055), and miR-18a-5p (Fold Change = 0.154, P = 0.0034); and mRNAs FOXO3 (Fold Change = 4.604, P = 0.0032) and PTEN (Fold Change = 2.22, P = 0.0011). In lung tissue from IPF patients, significant expression changes were observed in TP53TG1 (Fold Change = 0.2091, P = 0.0305) and DNM3OS (Fold Change = 4.759, P = 0.05). Combined analysis of PBMCs expression levels for TP53TG1, MALAT1, miRNA miR-126-3p, and PTEN distinguished IPF patients from healthy controls with an AUC = 0.971, sensitivity = 0.80, and specificity = 0.955 (P = 6 × 10-8). These findings suggest a potential involvement of the identified ncRNAs and mRNAs in IPF pathogenesis. However, additional functional validation studies are needed to elucidate the precise molecular mechanisms by which these lncRNAs, miRNAs, and their targets contribute to PF.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Genetics welcomes original manuscripts that address and test clear scientific hypotheses, are directed to a broad scientific audience, and clearly contribute to the advancement of the field through the use of sound sampling or experimental design, reliable analytical methodologies and robust statistical analyses.
Although studies focusing on particular regions and target organisms are welcome, it is not the journal’s goal to publish essentially descriptive studies that provide results with narrow applicability, or are based on very small samples or pseudoreplication.
Rather, Biochemical Genetics welcomes review articles that go beyond summarizing previous publications and create added value through the systematic analysis and critique of the current state of knowledge or by conducting meta-analyses.
Methodological articles are also within the scope of Biological Genetics, particularly when new laboratory techniques or computational approaches are fully described and thoroughly compared with the existing benchmark methods.
Biochemical Genetics welcomes articles on the following topics: Genomics; Proteomics; Population genetics; Phylogenetics; Metagenomics; Microbial genetics; Genetics and evolution of wild and cultivated plants; Animal genetics and evolution; Human genetics and evolution; Genetic disorders; Genetic markers of diseases; Gene technology and therapy; Experimental and analytical methods; Statistical and computational methods.
