Description

Application of exosome lncRNA in preparation of liver injury biomarker
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to application of an exosome lncRNA in preparation of a liver injury biomarker.
Background
The liver is the most important metabolic organ in the body and is also one of the main target organs of exogenous toxicants in the body. The susceptibility of the liver to chemical damage is determined by its particular anatomical location and physiological and biochemical functions. Since the liver is anatomically close to the blood supply from the digestive tract, it is the primary target for poisons absorbed through the digestive tract to exert their toxic effects; the liver has the ability to concentrate and transform exogenous chemical substances, and plays an important role in the process of excreting exogenous chemical substances and metabolites thereof into bile. Thus, when an organism is exposed to an exogenous toxicant, the liver reacts more often to toxicity than other organs. Therefore, it is urgently needed to establish a new liver injury biomarker which can be found and confirmed, can detect liver injury early, can reflect improvement or aggravation of liver injury, and even can reflect an injury mechanism.
Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI), also known as Drug Induced Liver Injury, refers to Liver Injury caused by drugs and/or their metabolites, which can occur in healthy people who have no previous history of Liver disease or in patients who have had a serious disease, and to varying degrees after the use of certain drugs. DILI is clinically the leading cause of acute liver failure and death, and is also a major factor in the withdrawal of marketed drugs. Statistically, at least 13% of acute liver failure in the united states is caused by DILI. In addition, at least over 1100 of the currently clinically used drugs are associated with liver damage, and although the reported incidence rate of DILI is in the range of 1/10000 to 1/100000, the actual incidence rate of DILI is much higher than the above range due to misdiagnosis or untimely reporting in some cases.
In response to the potential occurrence of serious Clinical adverse events caused by DILI, the European Drug administration (EMEA) issued the "Non-Clinical guidelines on Drug-Induced Hepatotoxicity" in 2008, and the U.S. FDA issued "Drug-Induced Liver approach in 2009: the premarking Clinical Evaluation' guiding principle helps pharmaceutical enterprises to comprehensively and deeply evaluate DILI risks in the process of developing new drugs.
For nearly half a century, traditional biomarkers such as alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Total Bilirubin (TBD) have been used clinically for detection of DILI. ALT and AST are present in hepatocytes and during drug-induced liver injury, serum levels of ALT and AST are elevated, which correlates with hepatocyte death and its released content. Elevation of serum ALP is associated with damage to bile duct epithelial cells, and elevation of TBIL may reflect impairment of hepatocyte function, or be associated with bilirubin production and processing. However, while existing liver injury biomarkers such as alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), etc. can identify liver injury or altered function, these indicators have failed to meet the early and accurate assessment of DILI risk due to lack of specificity (other organ or tissue injury can also increase their activity) and poor compliance with tissue morphology data.
With the progressive research on liver injury, a plurality of new detection indexes of hepatotoxic injury are discovered. Recently 2 new DILI biomarkers were discovered: glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) and miRNA-122. These 2 biomarkers have all been supported by the U.S. food and drug administration and the european drug administration as liver-specific candidate biomarkers.
Exosomes are one of extracellular vesicles, which are divided into three types: apoptotic bodies, microvesicles and exosomes. The process of exosome production involves double invagination of the plasma membrane and the formation of intracellular vesicles (MVBs) containing intraluminal vesicles (ILVs). ILV is finally fused to the plasma membrane via MVB, secreted in exosomes with diameters of 40-160 nm via exocytosis. The density of exosomes was 1.15-1.19g/mL. The tetrameric transmembrane proteins CD63, CD9 and CD81 found on their surface are commonly used as surface biomarkers for exosomes. Meanwhile, most cells secrete exosomes, which are widely present in various body fluids, such as blood, saliva, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and the like. Exosomes transport various molecules from parent cells to other cells, including proteins, DNA, mRNA/miRNA, lncRNA, and the like. Exosomes are similar in composition to the parental cells and therefore are able to provide information specific to the parental cells that can be traced. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analysis are widely used to measure physical characteristics of exosomes, such as the size, distribution and concentration of vesicles.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncrnas) are a class of open reading frame-lacking non-coding RNA molecules that are over 200 ribonucleotides in length, and either have no capacity to encode a protein or have limited coding function. It was initially recognized as "noise" in genome transcription, a byproduct of RNA polymerase II transcription, and has no biological effect. Through intensive research, lncRNA is found to be involved in important regulation and control processes in cells, such as: regulate cell differentiation, aging, proliferation, apoptosis, necrosis, and tumor development. It was found that although lncRNA tends to be expressed at lower levels compared to messenger RNA, lncRNA expression is more cell specific than mRNA expression, suggesting lncRNA may be a key regulator of cell fate. Meanwhile, research shows that lncRNA is closely related to liver-related diseases and injuries. However, the lncRNA database is very large (172,216 to date), and lncRNA which is closely related to liver damage, especially liver damage caused by exogenous compounds (such as acetaminophen) has not been developed in clinical tests.
At present, a great deal of research reports that the expression level of a plurality of exosomes lncRNA is obviously different from that of a normal control group under pathological conditions, and the exosomes can selectively package, secrete and transport the lncRNA and specifically exert biological functions. Exosomes can protect lncrnas from rnases and therefore they can be stably present in body fluids.

2.0Fluorometer assay concentration, agilent2100 assay library size.
1.2.5 machine sequencing
The qualified library was tested and prepared for Illumina sequencing, with the sequencing strategy being PE150. The basic principle of Sequencing is Sequencing By Synthesis (SBS): and (2) loading a flow cell with a cluster on a computer, adding four kinds of fluorescence-labeled dNTPs, DNA polymerase and a joint primer into the flow cell for amplification, releasing corresponding fluorescence every time one fluorescence-labeled dNTP is added when each sequencing cluster extends a complementary chain, and converting an optical signal into a sequencing peak through a sequencer by capturing a fluorescence signal and computer software so as to obtain sequence information of the fragment to be detected.
1.2.6 data quality control
After obtaining sequencing original Data (Raw Data), firstly, the Data needs to be filtered, the connector sequences are removed, low-quality reads are processed, then the sequencing quality is evaluated, and repeated inspection is carried out to obtain high-quality Data (clear Data). Comparing clear Data with a reference genome, and quantitatively analyzing known mRNA and lncRNA; unaligned reads were analyzed for circular RNA using ACFS.
1.2.7 data preprocessing
The original sequencing data contains sequencing joint sequences, some reads contain bases with lower quality, the quality of the tail ends of the reads is low and other unqualified conditions which can affect the reliability of the subsequent analysis result, so the original data is preprocessed to remove the joint sequences and the low-quality reads. The data pre-processing software uses Seqtk.
The method mainly comprises the following steps:
1) Removing the linker sequence contained in the reads;
2) Removing bases with the mass Q of the 3' end lower than 20, namely the error rate of the bases is less than 0.01, wherein Q = -10log (error _ ratio);
3) Removing reads with the length less than 25;
4) The ribosome RNA reads of the species to which they belong were removed.
And (4) after the raw data is preprocessed, obtaining clean reads used for subsequent analysis.

Typically we aligned clean no RNA reads to the genome, which is also the basis for subsequent analysis. HISAT2 adopts a global and local search method, can efficiently map, can effectively compare spliced reads in RNA Seq sequencing data, sets default parameters for the parameters, and has a reference genome version of Rnor-6.0.95 and a BAM file result.
1.2.9 lncRNA quantitation and differential analysis
1.2.9.1 prediction of New lncRNA
