Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of respiratory tract infection, which seriously threatens the health and life of children. This study is conducted to reveal the rehabilitation mechanisms of RSV infection. Methods E-MTAB-5195 dataset was downloaded from EBI ArrayExpress database, including 39 acute phase samples in the acute phase of infection and 21 samples in the recovery period. Using the limma package, differentially expressed RNAs (DE-RNAs) were analyzed. The significant modules were identified using WGCNA package, and the mRNAs in them were conducted with enrichment analysis using DAVID tool. Afterwards, co-expression network for the RNAs involved in the significant modules was built by Cytoscape software. Additionally, RSV-correlated pathways were searched from Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, and then the pathway network was constructed. Results There were 2,489 DE-RNAs between the two groups, including 2,386 DE-mRNAs and 103 DE-lncRNAs. The RNAs in the black, salmon, blue, tan and turquoise modules correlated with stage were taken as RNA set1. Meanwhile, the RNAs in brown, blue, magenta and pink modules related to disease severity were defined as RNA set2. In the pathway networks, CD40LG and RASGRP1 co-expressed with LINC00891/LINC00526/LINC01215 were involved in the T cell receptor signaling pathway, and IL1B, IL1R2, IL18, and IL18R1 co-expressed with BAIAP2-AS1/CRNDE/LINC01503/SMIM25 were implicated in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Conclusion LINC00891/LINC00526/LINC01215 co-expressed with CD40LG and RASGRP1 might affect the rehabilitation process of RSV infection through the T cell receptor signaling pathway. Besides, BAIAP2-AS1/CRNDE/LINC01503/SMIM25 co-expressed with IL1 and IL18 families might function in the clearance process after RSV infection via cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.

ObjectiveGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. Studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) can regulate blood glucose levels by targeting mRNAs, but the role of circRNAs in GDM is still unknown. Therefore, a joint microarray analysis of circRNAs and their target mRNAs in GDM patients and healthy pregnant women was carried out.MethodsIn this study, microarray analyses of mRNA and circRNA in 6 GDM patients and 6 healthy controls were conducted to identify the differentially expressed mRNA and circRNA in GDM patients, and some of the discovered mRNAs and circRNAs were further validated in additional 56 samples by quantitative realtime PCR (qRT-PCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).ResultsGene ontology and pathway analyses showed that the differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in T cell immune-related pathways. Cross matching of the differentially expressed mRNAs and circRNAs in the top 10 KEGG pathways identified 4 genes (CBLB, ITPR3, NFKBIA, and ICAM1) and 4 corresponding circRNAs (circ-CBLB, circ-ITPR3, circ-NFKBIA, and circ-ICAM1), and these candidates were subsequently verified in larger samples. These differentially expressed circRNAs and their linear transcript mRNAs were all related to the T cell receptor signaling pathway, and PCR results confirmed the initial microarray results. Moreover, circRNA/miRNA/mRNA interactions and circRNA-binding proteins were predicted, and circ-CBLB, circ-ITPR3, and circ-ICAM1 may serve as GDM-related miRNA sponges and regulate the expression of CBLB, ITPR3, NFKBIA, and ICAM1 in cellular immune pathways.ConclusionUpregulation of T cell receptor signaling pathway components may represent the major pathological mechanism underlying GDM, thus providing a potential approach for the prevention and treatment of GDM.

Abstract Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a low-grade cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, in which malignant T cell clones (mostly CD4+) arise in the skin from the early disease stages. IFN-α is widely used in the treatment of MF and when used in combination with PUVA has been reported as an effective treatment, with overall response rates of 30%–80%, and complete response rates of 14%–25%. However, up to date there is no information available on prognostic factors that could help to predict response to IFN-α /PUVA in MF. The purpose of the study was to find the molecular signature associated with IFN-α /PUVA resistance, or lack of remission after IFN-α /PUVA treatment. The gene expression profile of the pre-treatment samples from 30 MF patients enrolled in a random clinical trial with IFN-α and/or PUVA has been analyzed by use of cDNA microarrays. Following the treatment outcome, the patients have been divided into good responders (23 patients that have achieved complete remission in the time of 24 weeks or less) and bad responders (7 patients that have not reached completed remission or have shown progression of the disease during treatment). The genes associated with good vs. bad response have been identified. Four genes associated with cell cycle regulation and tumour microenviroment have been identified to predict good response by the significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) correlating expression data with survival time. Moreover, 38 genes involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway, NF-kB activation and Jak-Stat signaling pathway have been found to be associated with unfavorable response to treatment by use of SAM analysis. This was validated using other bioinformatics tools based on t-statistics and Cox-model, applying False Discovery Rate for multiple testing. Furthermore, using a web-based tool (Signs) that uses a combination of gene filtering, clustering and survival model building, a 2-gene model has been obtained. This model could distinguish two groups of MF patients with probability of remission at 24 weeks of 15%, and 60% (log-rank test, p:0.007). This confirms that TCR-signaling plays a key role in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cell survival; and could potentially be used for stratifying MF patients treated with IFN-α /PUVA into different risk-groups, if confirmed in additional studies.
