Abstract:
This study investigates the potential gene regulation of long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) during skin regeneration by analyzing the changes in the lncRNA expression profile during skin regeneration under mechanical tension. Through the effect of mechanical tension on human skin tissue, the authors observed that after the accelerated differentiation and proliferation of skin epidermal cells, the lncRNA expression profile was compared with that of normal epidermal cells, and differential expression of lncRNA in skin tissue was found. Fifty-three lncRNAs were differentially expressed between the experimental and control groups, and compared with the control group, 22 lncRNAs were upregulated and 31 lncRNAs were downregulated in the experimental group. In addition, through the annotation of the functions of gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes, it was further clarified that the main signaling pathway of lncRNAs in the process of skin tissue expansion is involved in the regulation of skin tissue regeneration, and the regulatory network of lncRNAs and microRNAs was established. The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the mechanism of lncRNA regulation of skin regeneration, and changes in the lncRNA expression profile can also provide clues for the study of the biological regulation mechanism of skin regeneration.
