Description: | There were 13 tRFs differentially expressed between patients with AS and healthy controls, of which 2 were up-regulated and 11 were down-regulated. Validation by RT-qPCR analysis confirmed the sequencing results, and tRF-Gly-GCC-009 was highly up-regulated in the AS group based on the results of sequencing which was confirmed by RT-qPCR analysis. Furthermore, GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that 10 signaling pathways were related to tRF-Gly-GCC-009. These pathways might be physiopathological fundamentals of AS, mainly involving in Apelin signaling, Notch signaling and calcium signaling. |
