Background/Aims: Coronary microembolization (CME) is a serious complication of coronary heart disease and is considered as a strong predictor of poor long-term prognosis and major cardiac adverse events. Here, we identified differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the myocardial tissue of CME pigs, and predicted and analyzed the possible functions of their target genes. Methods: Twelve Bama mini-pigs were randomly assigned to the sham and CME group (n = 6 in each group). The two groups were compared with regard to heart function, area of infarction, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and myocardial expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Further, miRNA chip analysis was used to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs, and the results were validated by real-time PCR. Bioinformatics methods were used to predict and analyze the functions of the target genes of the identified miRNAs. Results: The model CME pigs showed significantly increased expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, as well as micro-infarction lesions and cell apoptosis in the myocardial tissue. Thus, the model was established successfully. In the myocardial tissue of the CME pigs, the expression of ssc-miR-92b-5p, ssc-miR-491, ssc-miR-874, ssc-miR-425-3p, ssc-miR-376a-5p, ssc-miR-370, ssc-miR-30c-3p, ssc-miR-493-5p and ssc-miR-323 was significantly increased, whereas the expression of ssc-miR-136 and ssc-miR-142-3p was significantly decreased. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the target genes of these miRNAs are mainly associated with cell proliferation, apoptosis, necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Conclusion: The differentially expressed miRNAs identified in the myocardial tissue of CME pigs could be new biomarkers or potential treatment targets for CME.

Abstract Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs playing vital roles in regulating posttranscriptional gene expression. Elucidating the expression regulation of miRNAs underlying pig testis development will contribute to a better understanding of boar fertility and spermatogenesis. Results: In this study, miRNA expression profile was investigated in testes of Duroc and Meishan boars at 20, 75, and 270 days of age by high-throughput sequencing. Forty-five differentially expressed miRNAs were identified from testes of Duroc and Meishan boars before and after puberty. Integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA profiles predicted many miRNA-mRNA pairs. Gene ontology and biological pathway analyses revealed that predicted target genes of ssc-mir-423-5p, ssc-mir-34c, ssc-mir-107, ssc-165 mir-196b-5p, ssc-mir-92a, ssc-mir-320, ssc-mir-10a-5p, and ssc-mir-181b were involved in sexual reproduction, male gamete generation, and spermatogenesis, and GnRH, Wnt, and MAPK signaling pathway. Four significantly differentially expressed miRNAs and their predicted target genes were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and phospholipase C beta 1 ( PLCβ1) gene was verified to be a target of ssc-mir-423-5p . Conclusions: This study provides an insight into the functional roles of miRNAs in testis development and spermatogenesis and offers useful resources for understanding differences in sexual function development caused by the change in miRNAs expression between Duroc and Meishan boars.

Background/Aims: Based on the theory of constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Chinese Han population has been classified into nine constitutions. Of these, Yang deficiency constitution mainly exhibit cold intolerance while Yin deficiency constitution mainly exhibit heat intolerance. Some studies have been carried out to explore the modern genetic and biological basis of such constitution classification, but more remains to be done. MicroRNA (miRNA) serves as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and may play a role in the classification process. Here, we examined miRNA expression profile of saliva to further improve the comprehensiveness of constitution classification. Methods: Saliva was collected from Chinese Han individuals with Yang deficiency, Yin deficiency and Balanced constitutions (n=5 each), and miRNA expression profile was determined using the Human miRNA OneArray®v7. Based on 1.5 Fold change, means log2|Ratio|≥0.585 and P-value< 0.05, differentially expressed miRNA was screened. Target genes were predicted using DIANA-TarBasev7.0 and analysis of KEGG pathway was carried out using DIANA-mirPathv.3. Results: We found that 81 and 98 differentially expressed miRNAs were screened in Yang deficiency and Yin deficiency constitution, respectively. Among them, 16 miRNAs were identical and the others were unique. In addition, the target genes that are regulated by the unique miRNAs were significantly enriched in 27 and 20 signaling pathways in Yang deficiency and Yin deficiency constitution, respectively. Thyroid hormone signaling pathway is present in both constitutions. These unique miRNAs that regulated target genes of thyroid hormone signaling pathway may be associated with cold intolerance or heat intolerance. Conclusion: The results of our study show that Yang deficiency and Yin deficiency constitutions exhibit systematic differences in miRNA expression profile. Moreover, the distinct characteristics of TCM constitution may be explained, in part, by differentially expressed miRNAs.

Background: Drought is one of the most damaging and widespread abiotic stresses that can severely limit the rice production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as a promising tool for improving the drought tolerance of rice and have become a hot spot in recent years. Objective: In order to further extend the understanding of miRNAs, the functions of miRNAs in rice under drought stress are analyzed by bioinformatics. Method: In this study, we integrated miRNAs and genes transcriptome data of rice under the drought stress. Some bioinformatics methods were used to reveal the functions of miRNAs in rice under drought stress. These methods included target genes identification, differentially expressed miRNAs screening, enrichment analysis of DEGs, network constructions for miRNA-target and target-target proteins interaction. Results: (1) A total of 229 miRNAs with differential expression in rice under the drought stress, corresponding to 73 rice miRNAs families, were identified. (2) 1035 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, which included 357 up-regulated genes, 542 down-regulated genes and 136 up/down-regulated genes. (3) The network of regulatory relationships between 73 rice miRNAs families and 1035 DEGs was constructed. (4) 25 UP_KEYWORDS terms of DEGs, 125 GO terms and 7 pathways were obtained. (5) The protein-protein interaction network of 1035 DEGs was constructed. Conclusion: (1) MiRNA-regulated targets in rice might mainly involve in a series of basic biological processes and pathways under drought conditions. (2) MiRNAs in rice might play critical roles in Lignin degradation and ABA biosynthesis. (3) MiRNAs in rice might play an important role in drought signal perceiving and transduction.

Peri-implantitis, which is characterized by dense inflammatory infiltrates and increased osteoclast activity, can lead to alveolar bone destruction and implantation failure. miRNAs participate in the regulation of various inflammatory diseases, such as periodontitis and osteoporosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the differential expression of miRNAs in canine peri-implantitis and to explore the functions of their target genes. An miRNA sequence analysis was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in peri-implantitis. Under the criteria of a fold-change >1.5 and P<0.01, 8 up-regulated and 30 down-regulated miRNAs were selected for predictions of target genes and their biological functions. Based on the results of Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses, these miRNAs may fine-tune the inflammatory process in peri-implantitis through an intricate mechanism. The results of quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed that let-7g, miR-27a, and miR-145 may play important roles in peri-implantitis and are worth further investigation. The results of the present study provide insights into the potential biological effects of the differentially expressed miRNAs, and specific enrichment of target genes involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was observed. These findings highlight the intricate and specific roles of miRNAs in inflammation and osteoclastogenesis, both of which are key aspects of peri-implantitis, and thus may contribute to future investigations of the etiology, underlying mechanism, and treatment of peri-implantitis.
