Description

TiRNA-Cys-GCA and application thereof in aortic dissection diseases
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of early diagnosis and treatment of aortic dissection diseases, and relates to a TiRNA-Cys-GCA and application thereof in aortic dissection diseases.
Background
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the most serious diseases threatening human beings in the world today, and according to the summary of China Cardiovascular disease report 2018, the death rate of the disease accounts for more than 40% of the death component ratio of resident diseases, and exceeds the first death rate of tumors and other diseases. Meanwhile, the prevalence rate and the death rate of cardiovascular diseases are still on the rising trend, and the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases is expected to rapidly increase in the next 10 years. Among them, Aortic Dissection (AD) is one of the most aggressive cardiovascular diseases. The aortic valve is characterized in that blood in an aortic cavity enters an aortic media from an aortic intimal tear part to separate the media, and expands along the major axis direction of an aorta to form a separation state of true and false aortic walls. Aortic dissection mainly has two classification methods at present. The first is DeBakey type classification, which is classified into type I, type II and type III, wherein type I and type II laces are in ascending aorta, type I affects thoracic aorta even abdominal aorta, type II affects ascending main or aortic arch, type III laces are in descending aorta, lesion affects thoracic aorta or abdominal aorta, and in severe cases, thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta can be affected simultaneously. The second is Stanford typing, classified as a type a dissection (lesions involving the ascending aorta or aortic arch), usually treated by sternotomy, particularly in emergency surgery; type B dissections (abdominal aorta with lesions affecting or distant from the descending aorta) do not affect the ascending aorta, and usually involve medically conservative treatment unless the condition is complicated. Thus, Stanford type a is the most life-threatening subtype with the highest mortality rate. AD is a critical severe disease with rapid onset, rapid progress, complex and various manifestations, fierce course of disease, high mortality and poor prognosis in clinic. The incidence of AD is reported to be about 4-5/10 million people per year and is rising year by year, with the onset showing a trend towards younger people.
AD has various clinical manifestations, and the current clinical main treatment mode is to close intimal lacerations through operations and reconstruct blood flow in a blood vessel blocking area caused by a false cavity. However, the operative treatment has large trauma and a lot of complications, the incidence and the death rate of AD cannot be reduced fundamentally, and the death rate after only Stanford A type AD operation is about 21.1% according to the report of foreign big data. So far, the molecular regulation mechanism in the process of AD diseases at home and abroad is still unclear, the prevention strategy is limited, how to predict and intervene the occurrence of AD early, reduce the death rate and search for potentially important regulation factors become a medical problem to be solved urgently by scientific research personnel and clinical workers.
The regulatory mechanisms of non-coding nucleic acids for cardiovascular disease are currently the focus of research in the cardiovascular field. Among them, the tiRNAs & tRFs are a new discovered small non-coding RNA derived from tRNAs (Transfer RNAs ), which are precisely regulated and cleaved under different physiological and pathological conditions, and are considered to have important biomedical functions and to have potential association with diseases such as development and metabolism.

Detailed Description
Experimental example 1: differential expression and cellular localization of 5' tiRNA-Cys-GCA in vivo and in vitro
Fluorescence in situ hybridization assay detected that 5' tiRNA-Cys-GCA was most likely located in VSMC (fig. 1A).
The cell positioning condition of 5 ' -TIRNA-Cys-GCA in a normal arteriole and thoracic aorta interlayer sample is detected by utilizing a fluorescence in situ hybridization experiment, the result is shown in figure 1A, and the result shows that the 5 ' -TIRNA-Cys-GCA and alpha-SMA (alpha smooth muscle actin) are co-positioned, and the alpha-SMA is an important protein marker of VSMC, so that the 5 ' -TIRNA-Cys-GCA is most probably positioned in the VSMC and probably has close relation with the VSMC and plays a certain role in regulating and controlling the functions of the VSMC.
RT-qPCR detection found that 5' tirRNA-Cys-GCA expression in human aortic dissection samples was significantly lower than in normal arteriole samples (FIG. 1B).
RT-qPCR is utilized to detect the expression condition of 5 ' TiRNA-Cys-GCA in normal small artery and human thoracic aorta interlayer samples, the result is shown in figure 1B, and the result shows that the expression of 5 ' TiRNA-Cys-GCA in human aorta interlayer samples is obviously lower than that of normal small artery samples, and the 5 ' TiRNA-Cys-GCA is prompted to possibly play a protective role in lesion samples.
RT-qPCR assays found 5' TiRNA-Cys-GCA expression in TAD model mice to be about 2.5-fold lower than control mice (FIG. 1C).
Detecting the expression condition of 5' tirRNA-Cys-GCA in a TAD model mouse by RT-qPCR, wherein the model construction method comprises the following steps: the mice in the control group were injected intraperitoneally with angiotensin II (AngII) 4.0mg/kg/8h in combination with beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) 0.33g/kg/d for 14 days, and with the same amount of physiological saline. The results are shown in FIG. 1C and demonstrate that 5' TiRNA-Cys-GCA expression levels in aortic samples from TAD model mice were approximately 2.5-fold lower than in control mice. The results show that the expression level of 5 'tirRNA-Cys-GCA in TAD tissues is reduced, and the 5' tirRNA-Cys-GCA can possibly become a biomarker of thoracic aortic dissection and has important value in disease diagnosis.
RT-qPCR assay found decreased expression of 5' TIRNA-Cys-GCA in ox-LDL (oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein) -treated cells (FIG. 1D).

In an in vitro experiment, ox-LDL is used as a pathological condition to simulate a pathological environment, and in order to detect that the expression quantity of 5 'TiRNA-Cys-GCA is less and less along with the time progress of the pathological condition, the 5' TiRNA-Cys-GCA is further suggested to play a protective role.
