Altered microRNA expression profiles in lung damage induced by nanosized SiO2.
The objective of the present research is to explore miRNAs expression profiles in lung tissue of rat treated by nanosized SiO2in the light of normal at diverse dosages, time, predict their target genes, and probe the biological function and regulation of miRNA in the lung damage process caused by nanosized SiO2. Up-regulation of rno-miR-208, rno-miR-212 and rno-miR-18a in lung tissue mainly characterized by inflammation of SD rats caused by nanosized SiO2particles instilled intratracheally at 7th, 15th30thd using Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencing technique and were further verified by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR) assay. Lung damage is mainly with characteristics of lung interstitial fibrosis, upregulation of rno-miR-212, rno-miR-144, rno-miR-702-3p, rno-miR-379 and rno-miR-127, down-regulation of rno-miR-541 at 60th, 90thd post-exposure. As target genes of rno-miR-208, rno-miR-212 and rno-miR-18a respectively, there was no statistical significance of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4), LIN28B and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA expression level (P > 0.05) compared to β-actin as internal controls detected by Real-time quantitative PCR. The differences in protein gray value ratio of PDCD4, LIN28B and CTGF detected by Western blotting test were statistically significant (P < 0.05). These results suggested that miR-208, miR-212 and miR-18a may take effects in rats' lung damage lead by nanosized SiO2. Their target genes of PDCD4, LIN28B and CTGF functioned in translation level of target genes in regulation of inflammatory signaling pathways and involved in the formation of tissue fibrosis.
