CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in high-altitude hypobaric hypoxia-induced hearing impairment and hearing acclimatization

Objective: High altitude hypobaric hypoxia can induce hearing impairment and hearing acclimatization, but few studies have been performed to decipher the potential transition between the two states. To decipher transition-related circular RNAs (circRNAs)-microRNAs (miRNAs)-messenger RNA (mRNAs) regu...

description Objective: High altitude hypobaric hypoxia can induce hearing impairment and hearing acclimatization, but few studies have been performed to decipher the potential transition between the two states. To decipher transition-related circular RNAs (circRNAs)-microRNAs (miRNAs)-messenger RNA (mRNAs) regulatory network. Methods: Wistar rats were airlifted from plain to high altitude and maintained for 30 days and 60 days. Hearing acclimatization was determined using the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) test. Cochlea tissues were isolated, and high-throughput circRNA analysis and mRNAs-sequencing were performed. Differentially Expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) and Differentially Expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were obtained, and circRNA-miRNA and miRNA-mRNA regulation were predicted. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was also constructed. The DEmRNAs in this network were functionally annotated using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses based on Metascape. Results: The ABR assay indicated that hearing impairment happened on day 30 and hearing acclimatization occurred on day 60. Hearing impairment-related circRNAs (64 upregulated and 147 downregulated) and genes (572 upregulated and 757 downregulated) were identified. Hearing acclimatization-related circRNAs (79 upregulated and 142 downregulated) and genes (690 upregulated and 751 downregulated) were also identified. Hearing impairment and hearing acclimatization ceRNA networks were also constructed after integrating the predicted miRNA regulation analyses. Anterograde trans-synaptic signaling (GO:0098916) and negative regulation of cellular response to growth factor stimulus (GO:0090288) were regulated by hearing impairment ceRNA networks, and embryonic organ development (GO:0048568) was regulated by hearing acclimatization ceRNA networks. Conclusion: Hearing impairment- and hearing acclimatization-associated circRNAs and ceRNA networks were identified, which contribute new knowledge to our understanding of acclimatization transition.
