Differential expression profiles of tsRNAs in myocardial ischemic rats with/without caloric restriction
We report the application of high-throughput RNA sequencing technology to examine expression profiling of transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in a normal control group (Norm group), isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemic group (MI group), and CR-pretreatment plus ISO-induced myocardial ischemic group (CR+MI group). A total of 714 precisely matched tsRNAs were identified in the myocardial tissues from the three groups of rats (701 in Norm, 708 in MI, and 712 in CR+MI). We find that 302 tsRNAs were identified to be notably dysregulated in the MI group: 166 tsRNAs were upregulated while 136 tsRNAs were downregulated compared with those in the Norm group. After CR pretreatment, we identified 136 tsRNAs that were significantly altered compared with those in the MI group: 45 were upregulated while 91 were downregulated. This study provides new ideas for future research on elucidating the mechanisms of CR pretreatment through regulating tsRNAs levels in myocardial ischemic injury. Overall design: Examination of different expression profiling of tsRNAs in in ISO-induced myocardial ischemic rats with/without caloric restriction.
