Abstract
Introduction
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders. DNA hypermethylation is considered to be the key mechanism of pathogenesis for MDS. Studies have demonstrated that DNA methylation can be regulated by the co-effect between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). The aim of this study was to identify DNMTs-associated differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs, which may be a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for MDS.
Methods
Two gene expression profile datasets (GSE4619 and GSE19429) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Systematic bioinformatics analysis was conducted. Then we verified the expression of PRKCQ-AS1 in MDS patients and features in SKM-1 cells.
Results
Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the DNMT-associated DE-lncRNA PRKCQ-AS1 was functionally related to DNA methylation. The target genes of PRKCQ-AS1 associated with DNA methylation are mainly methionine synthetase (MTR) and ten-eleven-translocation 1 (TET1). Moreover, the high expression of PRKCQ-AS1 was verified in real MDS cases. Further cellular analysis in SKM-1 cells revealed that overexpressed PRKCQ-AS1 promoted methylation levels of long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1) and cell proliferation, and apparently elevated both mRNA and protein levels of MTR and TET1, while knockdown of PRKCQ-AS1 showed opposite trend in SKM-1 cells.
Conclusion
DNMT-associated DE-lncRNA PRKCQ-AS1 may affects DNA methylation levels by regulating MTR and TET1.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology provides a forum for the communication of new developments, research topics and the practice of laboratory haematology.
The journal publishes invited reviews, full length original articles, and correspondence.
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology is the official journal of the International Society for Laboratory Hematology, which addresses the following sub-disciplines: cellular analysis, flow cytometry, haemostasis and thrombosis, molecular diagnostics, haematology informatics, haemoglobinopathies, point of care testing, standards and guidelines.
The journal was launched in 2006 as the successor to Clinical and Laboratory Hematology, which was first published in 1979. An active and positive editorial policy ensures that work of a high scientific standard is reported, in order to bridge the gap between practical and academic aspects of laboratory haematology.
