AIMS: Corneal nerve fibers are derived from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Here, by sequencing of microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) from diabetic and normal TG tissues, we aimed to uncover potential miRNAs, mRNAs, and the network of their interactions involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic corneal neuropathy.
MAIN METHODS: We performed RNA sequencing to systematically screen out differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in TG tissues from diabetic and normal mice. Functional enrichment analyses were performed to illustrate the biological functions of differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs). Following this, miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks were built by means of bioinformatics methods to suggest regulatory role for miRNAs in the pathogenesis of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Finally, the credibility of the sequencing-based results was validated using qRT-PCR.
KEY FINDINGS: Sequencing analyses disclosed that 68 miRNAs and 114 mRNAs were differentially expressed in diabetic TG tissues compared with normal TG samples. The functional analyses showed that DEmRNAs participated in diabetes-related biological processes. After applying an optimized approach to predict miRNA-mRNA pairs, a miRNA-mRNA interacting network was inferred. Subsequently, the expression and correlation of miR-350-5p and Mup20, miR-592-5p and Angptl7 as well as miR-351-5p and Elovl6 were preliminarily validated.
SIGNIFICANCE: Our study provides a systematic characterization of miRNA and mRNA expression in the TG during diabetic corneal neuropathy and will contribute to the development of clinical diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for diabetic corneal neuropathy.
