Genome-wide MicroRNA Downregulation as a Negative Feedback Mechanism in the Early Phases of Liver Regeneration

ABSTRACT: Liver is one of the few organs that have the capacity to regenerate in response to injury. We carried out genome-wide miRNA microarray studies during liver regeneration in rats after 70% partial hepatectomy (PH) at early and mid-time points to more thoroughly understand their role. At 3, 12 and 18 hrs post-PH ~ 40% of the miRNAs tested were up-regulated. Conversely, at 24 hrs post-PH, ~ 70% of miRNAs were down-regulated. Further, we established that the genome-wide down-regulation of miRNA expression at 24 hrs was also correlated with decreased expression of genes such as Rnasen, Dgcr8, Dicer, Tarbp2 and Prkra that are associated with miRNA biogenesis. To determine if a potential negative feedback loop between miRNAs and their regulatory genes existed, 11 candidate miRNAs which were predicted to target the above genes were examined and found to be up-regulated at 3 hrs post-PH. Using reporter and functional assays, we determined that expression of these miRNA-processing genes could be regulated by a subset of miRNAs and some miRNAs could target multiple miRNA biogenesis genes simultaneously. We also demonstrated that over-expression of these miRNAs inhibited cell proliferation and modulated the cell cycle in both Huh-7 human hepatoma cells and primary rat hepatocytes. From these observations, we postulated that selective up-regulation of miRNAs in the early-phase after PH was involved in the priming and commitment to liver regeneration, while the subsequent genome-wide down-regulation of miRNAs was required for efficient recovery of liver cell mass. Conclusion: Our data suggest that miRNA changes are regulated by negative feedback loops between miRNAs and their regulatory genes that may play an important role in the steady-state regulation of liver regeneration.

Project description:Proctor2017 - Identifying microRNA for muscle regeneration during ageing (Mir1_in_muscle) This model is described in the article: Using computer simulation models to investigate the most promising microRNAs to improve muscle regeneration during ageing Carole J. Proctor & Katarzyna Goljanek-Whysall Nature Scientific Reports Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression through interactions with target sites within mRNAs, leading to enhanced degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of translation. Skeletal muscle expresses many different miRNAs with important roles in adulthood myogenesis (regeneration) and myofibre hypertrophy and atrophy, processes associated with muscle ageing. However, the large number of miRNAs and their targets mean that a complex network of pathways exists, making it difficult to predict the effect of selected miRNAs on age-related muscle wasting. Computational modelling has the potential to aid this process as it is possible to combine models of individual miRNA:target interactions to form an integrated network. As yet, no models of these interactions in muscle exist. We created the first model of miRNA:target interactions in myogenesis based on experimental evidence of individual miRNAs which were next validated and used to make testable predictions. Our model confirms that miRNAs regulate key interactions during myogenesis and can act by promoting the switch between quiescent/proliferating/differentiating myoblasts and by maintaining the differentiation process. We propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143 inhibiting myogenesis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are extensively in diverse biological processes. However, very little is known about the role of miRNAs in mediating thyroid hormones (TH) action. Maintenance of appropriate TH levels is known to be critically important for development, differentiation and maintenance of metabolic balance in mammals. We induced transient hypothyroidism in juvenile mice by short term exposure to methimazole and perchlorate from post natal day (PND) 12 to 15. The expression of miRNAs in the liver was analyzed with the Taqman Low Density Array (containing up to 600 rodent microRNAs). We found the expression of 40 miRNAs was significantly altered in the liver of hypothyroid mice compared to euthyroid controls. Among the miRNAs, miR-1/206/133 exhibited a massive increase in expression (50 – 500 folds). To further explore TH effect on miR-1/206/133, we treated mouse hepatocyte AML 12 cells with 10 nm T3 for 1 hr and 24 hrs. TH treatment induced the down-regulation of miR-1/206/133b at both time points, reaching statistical significance at 24 hrs. To identify the genes targeted by these miRNAs, DNA microarrays were used to examine hepatic mRNA levels in the hypothyroid mouse model alongside controls. We found transcripts from 92 known genes were significantly altered in hypothyroid mice. Web-based target predication softwares (TargetScan and Microcosm) identified 14 of these transcripts as targets of miR-1/106/133. The vast majority of these mRNA targets were significantly down-regulated in hypothyroid mice, corresponding well with the up-regulation of miR-1/206/133 in hypothyroid mouse liver. The results suggest that TH regulation of these genes may occur secondarily via the reduced repression consequent to TH-induced down-regulation of miR-1/206/133. These studies provide novel insight into the role of miRNAs in mediating TH regulation of gene expression. Agilent two-color microarray were used to perform gene expression profile in euthyroid and hypothyroid male mouse livers, 5 biological replicates. TLDA (Taqman microRNA Array) was used to explore the miRNA expression profile in euthyroid and hypothyroid male mouse livers, 4 biological replicates.
