    摘要:

    目的]Krüppel样因子(KLF)2和4是与血管稳态密切相关的两个核心转录因子,具有抗炎、抗钙化、抗血栓等多重保护效应。本研究旨在在内皮细胞中阐明并验证KLF2和KLF4共同调控的血管稳态相关基因谱。 [方法]使用腺病毒(Ad-KLF2或Ad-KLF4)及对照病毒(Ad-NC)处理人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)24 h后提取RNA并进行转录组测序分析。过表达KLF2和KLF4的测序结果与已报道的KLF2/KLF4双基因敲除鼠测序结果进行叠加。筛选出的差异表达基因通过实时荧光定量PCR在Ad-KLF2或Ad-KLF4处理的HUVEC以及在阿托伐他汀或白藜芦醇处理的HUVEC中进行验证。 [结果]转录组学叠加发现,KLF2和KLF4上调的差异基因有256个,KEGG通路富集分析显示这些差异基因主要富集于肥厚型心肌病、扩张型心肌病、ECM-受体交互以及黏着斑、致心律失常性右心室心肌病等;KLF2和KLF4下调的差异基因有145个,KEGG通路富集分析显示这些差异基因主要富集于癌症中的microRNA、糖胺聚糖生物合成-硫酸软骨素/硫酸皮聚糖、矿物质吸收、p53信号通路以及氨基酸生物合成等。最终通过验证得到6个受到KLF2和KLF4调控的新基因。 [结论]FGFR3、SEMA4B、SEMA6A、PTX3、FABP4和FABP5可能是内皮细胞中转录因子KLF2和KLF4调控血管稳态的新基因。

    Abstract:

    Aim Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 2 and 4 are two core transcription factors closely related to vascular homeostasis, with multiple protective effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-calcification and anti-thrombotic. The aim of this study is to elucidate and validate the vascular homeostasis related gene profile co-regulated by KLF2 and KLF4 in endothelial cells. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with adenovirus (Ad-KLF2 or Ad-KLF4) and control virus (Ad-NC) for 24 h, RNA was extracted from the cells and analyzed by transcriptomic sequencing. The sequencing results of overexpressed KLF2 and KLF4 were superimposed with the sequencing results of reported KLF2/KLF4 double-gene knockout mice. The selected differential expression genes were verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR in HUVEC treated with Ad-KLF2 or Ad-KLF4, and in HUVEC treated with atorvastatin or resveratrol. Results Transcriptomic superposition revealed 256 differential expression genes were up-regulated by KLF2 and KLF4, and KEGG analysis showed that differential expression genes were enriched in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, ECM-receptor interaction and focal adhesion; there were 145 differential expression genes down-regulated by KLF2 and KLF4, and KEGG analysis showed that differential expression genes were enriched in microRNA of cancer, mineral absorption, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis-chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate, p53 signaling pathway and biosynthesis of amino acids. Finally, six novel genes regulated by KLF2 and KLF4 were obtained. Conclusion FGFR3, SEMA4B, SEMA6A, PTX3, FABP4 and FABP5 may be novel genes that regulate vascular homeostasis in endothelial cells by the transcription factors KLF2 and KLF4.
