Effect of high-throughput screening of circRNA01724 on a rat model of myocardial ischemia ventricular arrhythmia

BackgroundIt is considered that circRNA can participate in regulating the occurrence and effects of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) through competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism, regulating pre-mRNA and regulating parental gene expression. Therefore, we used animal modeling and high-throughput differential screening to screen out circRNA related to VA and study its possible mechanism of action on VA.MethodsThe rat model of myocardial ischemia VA was established. High-throughput screening of the differentiated circRNA was conducted and verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. Lv-circRNA01724 lentivirus was constructed using molecular biology. Primary isolation of the rat cardiomyocytes, hypoxia modeling, Lv-circRNA01724 transfection, mode of action verification, and dual luciferase detection of circRNA01724 and miR-323-5p was performed.ResultsThrough qRT-PCR verification of circRNA01724, circRNA02230, circRNA02088, miR-323-5p, miR-330-5p, and miR-324-3p expressions, circRNA01724 was selected as the research object. Detection by Western blot showed significantly lower Cx43, ZO-1, and α-catenin expressions in rat myocardial tissue in the model group compared with the control group at 1, 7, 14, and 28 days old. On identification of the isolated primary rat cardiomyocytes by immunofluorescence, the α-SMA characteristic protein expression indicated that the isolation was successful. Verification of rat cardiomyocytes transfected with Lv-circRNA01724 suggested overexpression in cells. The miR-323-5p was also highly expressed in the rat cardiomyocyte hypoxia model following Lv-circRNA01724 transfection. Detection by flow cytometry showed that modeling of the transfected Lv-circRNA01724 had a significant increased apoptotic rate. Detection by Western blot showed that modeling of the transfected Lv-circRNA01724 cells had significantly decreased Cx43, ZO-1, and α-catenin compared with the model group.ConclusionsHigh-throughput screening of circRNA01724 can promote the apoptosis of hypoxic cardiomyocytes, which is related to the rat model of myocardial ischemia VA and may be a potential target for the treatment of VA.

Folding and ligand recognition of the TPP riboswitch aptamer at single-molecule resolution

Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-sensitive mRNA domains are the most prevalent riboswitches known. Despite intensive investigation, the complex ligand recognition and concomitant folding processes in the TPP riboswitch that culminate in the regulation of gene expression remain elusive. Here, we used single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging to probe the folding landscape of the TPP aptamer domain in the absence and presence of magnesium and TPP. To do so, distinct labeling patterns were used to sense the dynamics of the switch helix (P1) and the two sensor arms (P2/P3 and P4/P5) of the aptamer domain. The latter structural elements make interdomain tertiary contacts (L5/P3) that span a region immediately adjacent to the ligand-binding site. In each instance, conformational dynamics of the TPP riboswitch were influenced by ligand binding. The P1 switch helix, formed by the 5′ and 3′ ends of the aptamer domain, adopts a predominantly folded structure in the presence of Mg²⁺ alone. However, even at saturating concentrations of Mg²⁺ and TPP, the P1 helix, as well as distal regions surrounding the TPP-binding site, exhibit an unexpected degree of residual dynamics and disperse kinetic behaviors. Such plasticity results in a persistent exchange of the P3/P5 forearms between open and closed configurations that is likely to facilitate entry and exit of the TPP ligand. Correspondingly, we posit that such features of the TPP aptamer domain contribute directly to the mechanism of riboswitch-mediated translational regulation.     

Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 4 Outbreak,Italy, 2011

During 2011, 5 persons in the area of Lazio, Italy were infected with a monophyletic strain of hepatitis E virus that showed high sequence homology with isolates from swine in China. Detection of this genotype in Italy parallels findings in other countries in Europe, signaling the possible spread of strains new to Western countries.
