Project description:Next to genetic alterations, it is being recognized that the cellular environment also acts as a major determinant in onset and progression of disease. In cases where different cell types contribute to the final disease outcome, this imposes environmental challenges as different cell types likely differ in their extracellular dependencies. A number of skin diseases, including psoriasis is characterized by a combination of keratinocyte hyperproliferation and immune cell activation. Activation of immune cells involves increased glucose consumption thereby intrinsicly limiting glucose availability for other cell types. Thus, these type of skin diseases require metabolic adaptations that enable coexistence between hyperproliferative keratinocytes and activated immune cells in a nutrient-limited environment. Hsa-microRNA-31-5p (miR-31) is highly expressed in keratinocytes within the psoriatic skin. Here we show that miR-31 expression in keratinocytes is induced by limited glucose availability and enables increased survival of keratinocytes under limiting glucose conditions, by increasing glutamine metabolism. In addition, miR-31 induced glutamine metabolism results in secretion of specific metabolites (aspartate and glutamate) but also secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. We show that this miR-31-induced secretory phenotype is sufficient to induce Th17 cell differentiation, a hallmark of psoriasis. Inhibition of glutaminase (GLS) using CB-839 impedes miR31-induced metabolic rewiring and secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. Concordantly, pharmacological targeting of GLS alleviated psoriasis pathology in a mouse model of psoriasis. Together our data illustrate an emerging concept of metabolic interaction across cell compartments that characterizes disease development, which can be employed to design effective treatment options for disease, as shown here for psoriasis.

Project description:Defects in stress responses are important contributors in many chronic conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity-driven pathologies like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Specifically, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is linked with these pathologies and control of ER stress can ameliorate tissue damage. MicroRNAs have a critical role in regulating diverse stress responses including ER stress. Here we show that miR-494-3p plays a functional role during ER stress. ER stress inducers (tunicamycin and thapsigargin) robustly increase the expression of miR-494 in vitro in an ATF6 dependent manner. Surprisingly, miR-494 pretreatment dampens the induction and magnitude of ER stress in response to tunicamycin in endothelial cells. Conversely, inhibition of miR-494 increases ER stress de novo and amplifies the effects of ER stress inducers. Using Mass Spectrometry (TMT-MS) we identified many proteins that are downregulated by both tunicamycin and miR-494 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among these, we found 6 transcripts which harbor a putative miR-494 binding site. Our data indicates that ER stress driven miR-494 may act in a feedback inhibitory loop to dampen downstream ER stress signaling. We propose that RNA-based approaches targeting miR-494 or its targets may be attractive candidates for inhibiting ER stress dependent pathologies in human disease.

Project description:These experiments were conducted as part of a study to derive the targets of miRNAs (See also E-MTAB-418). Two independent BayGenomics mouse embryonic stem cell lines (XH157 and XG058), each bearing a gene trap between exons 9 and 10 of the Dgcr8 locus (ENSMUST00000115633, Ensembl v53) were further mutagenised by the targetted insertion of a second Dgcr8 gene trap cassette. Consequently two independent heterozygous and two independent homozygous mutant Dgcr8 cells were derived (Dgcr8tm1,gt1/+, Dgcr8tm1,gt2/+, Dgcr8gt1/tm1 and Dgcr8gt2/tm1). Subsequently individual miRNA mimics were reintroduced into the Dgcr8-depleted background. In this set of experiments, cells were allowed to recover for 10 hours. The effect of the miRNA on the mRNA expression of the cells was assessed through the comparison of the expression profile of the transfected cells to that of cells transfected with a control mimic, which had recovered over the same period. This allows the roles of individual miRNAs to be investigated.

Project description:Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial metabolic syndrome defined by the rapid loss of skeletal muscle mass and the loss of fat mass. Up 80% of cancer patients at the late stage with cachexia suffer from progressive atrophy of adipose tissue. Unlike studies on skeletal muscle wasting, there is limited research on fat loss in cachexia. It was noted that most patients suffer from fat loss as cancer progress. Fat loss precedes muscle loss, is associated with shorter survival, and is variable to timing and intensity in various cancer populations. Increased lipolysis may be the leading cause of fat loss in cancer cachexia. miRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs of 19~25 nucleotides that regulate gene silencing by interacting with the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNA to cause mRNA degradation and translational repression. miRNAs play multifaceted roles in pancreatic cancer proliferation, survival, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Aberrant expression of miRNA in circulating exosomes may play potential roles in modulating fat loss in cancer cachexia. We identified 2 miRNAs, miR-16 and miR-29, which have 2-fold higher expression existed in at PDAC cells. To explore which genes in adipogenesis and lipolysis were directly affected by miR-16-5p or/and miR-29a-3p, we analyzed the targets which were down-regulated in both miR-16-5p and miR-29a-3p-transfected 3T3-L1 cells by mass analysis.

Project description:The miR-99 family is one of the evolutionarily most ancient microRNA families, and it plays a critical role in development. There are 3 members of the miR-99 family in humans (miR-99a, miR-99b, miR-100). Recent studies suggested that miR-99 family also regulates various physiological processes in adult tissues, such as wound healing, and a number of diseases processes, including cancer. Here, we aim to identify gene expression changes mediated by miR-99 family in epithelial cells. HaCaT cells and 1386Ln cells were transfected with miR-100 mimic or with negative control mimic (Dharmacon), the total RNA was isolated using miRNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen), and labeled and hydridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays according standard protocol.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiling identified miR-638 as one of the most significantly overexpressed miRNAs in metastatic lesions compared with primary melanomas. miR-638 enhanced the tumourigenic properties of melanoma cells in vitro and lung colonization in vivo. mRNA expression profiling of miR-638 and antagomir-transduced cells identified new candidate genes as miR-638 targets, the majority of which is involved in p53-mediated apoptosis regulation. miR-638 depletion stimulated expression of p53 and its downstream target genes and induced apoptosis and autophagy in melanoma cells. miR-638 promoter analysis revealed transcription factor associated protein 2-? (TFAP2A) as a direct negative regulator of miR-638. Further analyses provided strong evidence for a double negative regulatory feedback loop between miR-638 and TFAP2A. Taken together, miR-638 may support melanoma progression by suppressing p53-mediated apoptosis pathways and by targeting the transcriptional repressor TFAP2A. Whole genome cDNA microarray (Illumina Human HT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip Kit, San Diego, CA 92122 USA) analyses were performed in duplicates using RNA extracted from SK-Mel-147 cells transfected with a non-targeting control, miR-638 or antagomiR-638.
