| Popis: | Huntington disease (HD) is the most common neurogenetic disorder caused by expansion of the CAG repeat in the HTT gene; nevertheless, the molecular bases of the disease are not fully understood. Non-coding RNAs have demonstrated to be involved in the physiopathology of HD. However, the role of circRNAs has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to identify the circRNAs with differential expression in a murine cell line model of HD and to identify the biological pathways regulated by the differentially expressed circRNAs. CircRNA expression was analyzed through a microarray, which specifically detects circular species of RNA. The expression patterns between a murine cell line expressing mutant Huntingtin and cells expressing wild-type Huntingtin were compared. We predicted the miRNAs with binding sites for the differentially expressed circRNAs and the corresponding target genes for those miRNAs. Using the target genes, we performed a function enrichment analysis. We identified 23 circRNAs differentially expressed, 19 downregulated and four upregulated. Most of the downregulated circRNAs derive from the Rere gene. The dopaminergic synapse, MAPK, and long-term depression pathways were significantly enriched. The three identified pathways have been previously associated with the physiopathology of HD. The understanding of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network involved in the molecular mechanisms driving HD can lead us to identify novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study analyzing circRNAs in a model of Huntington disease. |
