Abstract:

Objective

To explore the role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in regulating the transcriptome of rat cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (rCMECs) .

Methods

Control group (rCMECs under normal culture condition) , LPS group (rCMECs treated with 100 ng/mL LPS for 6 h) , each group was subjected to 3 repeatly transcriptome sequencing. After identified differentially expressed genes, quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) was used to verify mRNA expression for some of differentially expressed genes. GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) enrichment were carried out in up-regulated and down-regulated genes respectively and co-expression network analysis was conducted fordifferentially expressed genes. Statistical analysis was performed using the unpaired t-test.

Results

265 genes were up-regulated and 118 down-regulated after LPS treatment. The 10 most significant up-regulated genes were Mt2a, Cyp7b1, Sod2, Icam1, Ccl2, AC128848.1, Mt1, Cebpd, Serpinb2 and Tnfrsf11b. while the 10 most significant down-regulated genes were Cavin2, Ankrd1, Edn1, Prss35, Lmod1, Dhrs3, Ttc22, Sema6a, Map2k3 and Sema7a. The results of q-PCR showed that the expressions of Mt2a, Sod2, Ccl2, Cxcl1, Icam1 and Vcaml indeed up-regulated (P < 0.01) , and the expressions of Cavin2Ankrd1Edn1 and Prss35 were down regulated (P < 0.05) . The enrichment of GO and KEGG showed that up-regulated genes and inflammatory immune cellswere related tochemotaxis and adhesion of endothelial lated to calcium ion signal and G proteinsicells. The down-regulated were related to calcium signaling and G protein-related pathways as well as increased endothelial permeability. In addition, the co-expression network analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that Sod2 was the key gene, which suggested that it may be related to the changes of rCMECs induced by LPS.

Conclusion

Lipopolysaccharide regulates the large numbers of genes of inflammatory immune cells entering myocardial tissue in rCMECs.
