A novel diagnostic signature of circulating tsRNAs and miRNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma detected with a microfluidic platform. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1272:341520. [PMID: 37355337 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) consisting of tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and miRNAs can be released by cancer cells and detected in blood, offering great potential for diagnosis of malignant tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (ESCC). One of the major challenges for the clinical application of blood-based sncRNAs biomarkers is the difficulty of detection because of their small sncRNA size and low abundance. The deferentially expressed tsRNAs and miRNAs in plasma were studied with high-throughput sequencing and polymerase chain reaction in ESCC cohorts. A novel signature containing tRF-55:74-chrM.Phe-GAA, tRF-56:75-Ala-CGC-1-M4 and miR-4488 was identified with diagnostic potential. The signature was further confirmed by an attomolar-level ultrasensitive and rapid microfluidic biochip, which can achieve a multiplex, simple and low-cost detection. Our results indicated that a combination of tsRNAs and miRNAs has high diagnostic efficiency and tremendous potential to act as specific biomarkers through a reliable, highly sensitive, fast, and economic microfluidic biochip for ESCC diagnosis.

A novel bioavailable curcumin-galactomannan complex modulates the genes responsible for the development of chronic diseases in mice: A RNA sequence analysis. Life Sci 2021; 287:120074. [PMID: 34687757 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic diseases or non-communicable diseases are a major burden worldwide due to the lack of highly efficacious treatment modalities and the serious side effects associated with the available therapies. PURPOSE/STUDY DESIGN A novel self-emulsifying formulation of curcumin with fenugreek galactomannan hydrogel scaffold as a water-dispersible non-covalent curcumin-galactomannan molecular complex (curcumagalactomannosides, CGM) has shown better bioavailability than curcumin and can be used for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. However, the exact potential of this formulation has not been studied, which would pave the way for its use for the prevention and treatment of multiple chronic diseases. METHODS The whole transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the liver tissues of mice treated with LPS to investigate the potential of CGM on the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. Expression analysis using DESeq2 package, GO, and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed transcripts was performed using UniProtKB and KEGG-KAAS server. RESULTS The results showed that 559 genes differentially expressed between the liver tissue of control mice and CGM treated mice (100 mg/kg b.wt. for 14 days), with adjusted p-value below 0.05, of which 318 genes were significantly upregulated and 241 were downregulated. Further analysis showed that 33 genes which were upregulated (log2FC > 8) in the disease conditions were significantly downregulated, and 32 genes which were downregulated (log2FC < -8) in the disease conditions were significantly upregulated after the treatment with CGM. CONCLUSION Overall, our study showed CGM has high potential in the prevention and treatment of multiple chronic diseases.
