Involvement of microRNA-related regulatory pathways in glucose-mediated control of Arabidopsis early seedling development

ABSTRACT: In plants, sugars such as glucose act as signaling molecules that promote changes in gene expression programs impacting on growth and development. Recent evidences have revealed the potential participation of mRNA decay control in some aspects of glucose-mediated regulatory responses suggesting a role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in these responses. In order to get a better understanding of glucose-mediated development modulation involving miRNA-related regulatory pathways, early seedling development of mutants impaired in miRNA biogenesis (hyl1-2) and miRNA-activity (ago1-25) were evaluated. Both mutants exhibited a glucose hyposensitive phenotype from germination up to seedling establishment, indicating that miRNA regulatory pathways may be involved in the glucose-mediated delay of early seedling development. The expression profile of 200 primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRs) were evaluated by large-scale quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) profiling revealing that 38 pri-miRs were regulated by glucose. For several of them, the corresponding mature miRNAs are known to participate directly or indirectly in plant development, and their accumulation was shown to be co-regulated with the pri-miRNA by glucose. These data indicate that deficiency in miRNA machinery leads to a deregulated expression of several miRNA target genes in response to glucose. Also, such deficiencies result in glucose-promoted misexpression of genes for the three Abscisic Acid signaling elements ABI3, ABI4 and ABI5. Thus, miRNA-regulatory pathways play a role in the adjustments of growth and development triggered by glucose signaling. Three samples, including untreated control, 2% glucose-treated and 2% mannitol-treated samples.

Project description:Vascular calcification is a complex process and has been associated with aging, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although there have been several studies studying the role of miRNAs (miRs) in bone osteogenesis, little is known about the role of miRs in vascular calcification and their role in the pathogenesis of vascular abnormalities. Matrix vesicles (MV) are known to play an important role in initiating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification. In the present study, we performed miRNA microarray analysis to identify the dysregulated miRs between MV and VSMC derived from CKD rats to understand the role of post-transcriptional regulatory networks governed by these miRNAs in vascular calcification and to uncover the differential miRNA content of MV. The percentage of miRNA to total RNA was increased in MV compared to VSMC. Comparison of expression profiles of miRNA by microarray demonstrated 33 miRs to be differentially expressed with the majority (~ 57%) of them down-regulated. Target genes controlled by differentially expressed miRNAs were identified utilizing two different complementary computational approaches Miranda and Targetscan to understand the functions and pathways that may be affected due to the production of MV from calcifying VSMC thereby contributing to the regulation of genes by miRs. We found several processes including vascular smooth muscle contraction, response to hypoxia and regulation of muscle cell differentiation to be enriched. Signaling pathways identified included MAP-kinase and wnt signaling that have previously been shown to be important in vascular calcification. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that miRs are concentrated in MV from calcifying VSMC, and that important functions and pathways are affected by the miRs dysregulation between calcifying VSMC and the MV they produce. This suggests that miRs may play a very important regulatory role in vascular calcification in CKD by controlling an extensive network of post-transcriptional targets. Compare miRNA from matrix vesicles to miRNA from vascular smooth muscle cells that gave rise to the matrix vesicles from 3 sets of MV and VSMC derived from 3 normal and 3 CKD rats
