| خلاصه مقاله | Objective: MSC-derived exosomes have therapeutic potential
by delivering anti-tumor agents and regulatory RNAs. Hypoxia
can mediate the tumor microenvironment and is involved in the
metastasis and progression of tumor cells. Previous research
has indicated that hypoxic conditions can provide a better condition for MSC-derived exosomes and aid in their therapeutic
potential. This study analyzed GEO data to explore how hypoxia affects mRNA expression in BMMSC-exosomes.
Materials and Methods: At first, GEO was used to examine
the RNAseq data of BMMSC-derived exosomes in hypoxia and
normoxia conditions to identify all DEGs linked with hypoxia
conditions. Thereafter, based on significant genes(p-value ≤
0.05), a Protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed with STRING at the Cytoscape software for identifying hub genes. Ultimately, enrichment analysis, including Gene
Ontology(GO), was used to explore the related biological processes, molecular functions, cellular components, and KEGG
pathway analysis for DEGs.
Results: From 15990 genes obtained from GEO-RNAseq for
MSC-derived exosome contents in hypoxic conditions rather
than normoxic, 967 DEGs were identified, of which 589 genes
were up-regulated, and 338 were down-regulated. According to
PPI networks, we identified 767 nodes, based on their degree
and interaction; 185 of them have more than 10 interactions
and node-degree, including CDCA8, PLK1, CCNB1, AURKA,
CDC20, BIRC5, BUB1B, FEN1, and TRIM28. Furthermore,
the enrichment analysis showed DEGs have the strongest significance in the Assembly of Checkpoint Signaling, Cell cycle,
Golgi and mitochondria cellular components, VEGF, Pentose
phosphate, FoxO and P53 signalling pathways, and so on.
Conclusion: Our study identified DEGs, hub genes, and key
signalling pathways that may be involved in hypoxic conditions. These findings contribute to a better understanding of cellular survival mechanisms under hypoxia and may aid in
identifying potential prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers.
Further investigations are warranted to explore the effects of
these exosomes on cancer cell lines. |
