目的 探寻主观性耳鸣患者的差异表达非编码RNA(ncRNA)及相应调控的信使RNA(mRNA)。 方法 对37例主观性耳鸣患者(耳鸣组)和20例健康志愿者(健康对照组)外周血样本进行高通量测序分析,以识别差异表达的长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)、环状RNA(circRNA)和mRNA,并通过公共数据库匹配ncRNA-miRNA-mRNA的调控路径。通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(qPCR)对另外10例耳鸣组和10例健康对照组外周血样本进行检测,以验证筛选出的ncRNA和mRNA的差异表达是否具有普遍性。 结果 在耳鸣组外周血中发现了13个lncRNA、596个circRNA和38个mRNA存在显著差异表达。13个差异表达的lncRNA均未能匹配到相应的miRNA,未行后续的mRNA匹配分析。596个差异表达的circRNA成功匹配到58个miRNA和595个mRNA,其中有1个mRNA(
Objective To investigate the differentially expressed non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and their corresponding regulated messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in patients with subjective tinnitus. Methods High-throughputsequencing analysis was performed on peripheral blood samples from 37 patients with subjective tinnitus (tinnitus group) and 20 healthy volunteers (healthy control group) to identify differentially expressed long non-codingRNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and mRNAs. The regulatory pathways of ncRNA-miRNA-mRNAwere matched using public databases. Additionally, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) wasused to detect the expression of selected ncRNAs and mRNAs in peripheral blood samples from another 10 patients of tinnitus group and 10 healthy controls to verify the universality of the differential expression. Results Significant differential expression of 13 lncRNAs, 596 circRNAs, and 38 mRNAs were found in the peripheralblood in the tinnitus group. The 13 differentially expressed lncRNAs did not match any corresponding miRNAs, and thus no subsequent mRNA matching analysis was conducted. The 596 differentially expressed circRNAswere successfully matched to 58 miRNAs and 595 mRNAs, among which only one mRNA (
