Summary (written by the submitters)
Background: N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a scavenger of free radicals, possesses strong capability to improve high fat diet (HFD)-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice. However, the underlying mechanism(s) of NAC-ameliorated NAFLD are still not fully illustrated. This study was designed to clarify the involvement of long chain non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the beneficial effects of NAC on NAFLD in HFD-induced obese mice.

Methods: C57BL/6J mice were arranged into normal fat diet (10% energy from fat), HFD (45% energy from fat), and HFD plus NAC (2 g/L in drinking water) groups, respectively. After 14-week intervention, the role of NAC was determined by immunohistochemistry and biochemical indexes in both plasma and liver. The profiles of hepatic lncRNAs were analyzed by whole transcriptome sequencing, and were further verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Meanwhile, the gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses were carried out to identify the functions of candidate lncRNAs. Furthermore, lncRNA-related ceRNA network was constructed in combination with miRNA and mRNA profiles by Cytoscape software. Results: NAC treatment obviously rescued the deleterious alterations induced by HFD, including body and liver weight, hepatic triglyceride (TG), plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT), plasma aspartate transaminase (AST), and liver histomorphology (H&E and Oil red O staining). Through whole transcriptome sequencing technology, 52167 (50758 known and 1409 novel) lncRNAs were detectable in liver samples. Our data revealed that the expressions of 175 lncRNAs were significantly changed by HFD but reversed by NAC treatment through cross-comparison. Among those lncRNAs, 5 lncRNAs, including lncRNA-NONMMUT148902.1 (NO_902.1), lncRNA-XR_001781798.1 (XR_798.1), lncRNA-NONMMUT141720.1 (NO_720.1), lncRNA-XR_869907.1 (XR_907.1), and lncRNA-ENSMUST00000132181 (EN_181), were selected based on the absolute value of log2 fold change (FC) being greater than 4, P-value < 0.01, and P-adjust < 0.01. Further qRT-PCR identified that lncRNA-NO_902.1, lncRNA-XR_798.1, and lncRNA-EN_181 were dramatically decreased by HFD while rescued by NAC treatment, consistent with the RNA-sequencing. Finally, we further screened and constructed a ceRNA network, including lncRNA-EN_181, 3 miRNAs, and 13 mRNAs, which was associated with the beneficial role of NAC in NAFLD. Conclusions: This study identified for the first time that lncRNA-EN_181 might be a potential target in NAC-ameliorated NAFLD. The finding enhanced our understanding of biological mechanisms in the beneficial role of NAC.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE188128_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA777818 and SRA study SRP344543. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
