Neuronal activity enhances the elaboration of newborn neurons as they integrate into the synaptic circuitry of the adult brain. The role microRNAs play in the transduction of neuronal activity into growth and synapse formation is largely unknown. MicroRNAs can influence the expression of hundreds of genes and thus could regulate gene assemblies during processes like activity-dependent integration. Here, we developed viral-based methods for the in vivo detection and manipulation of the activity-d ...[more]

Project description:We show that target mRNAs trigger the non-templated addition of nucleotides (mainly adenosines and uridines) and shortening of their cognate miRNAs in primary hippocampal neurons. The induced effect is observable both in total RNA and in Ago2-associated RNA, demonstrating that the process is initiated in Ago2 bound miRNAs. Illumina Small RNA sequencing was performed on rat hippocampal neurons infected with different target mRNAs in different conditions. The data includes 3 independent experiments: 1. Hippocampal neurons (DIV15) 6 days after transducing them with target mRNAs (driven by the Synapsin promoter) against different miRNAs. Samples are titled "Syn-Target". Samples transduced with targets containing extensive complementarity are labeled "Ext" and those with Seed complementarity are labeled "Seed". 2. Hippocampal neurons (DIV16) 7 days after transducing them with an inducible target mRNA against miR-132, and inducing for different times with Doxycycline. Samples are titled "Time-course" 3. Hippocampal neurons (DIV16) 7 days after co-transducing them with FLAG/HA-Ago2 plus an inducible target mRNA against miR-132, and inducing them for different times with Doxycycline. Samples are titled "Time-course_Ago2"

Project description:The proliferation and remodeling of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is an important pathological event in atherosclerosis and restenosis. Here we report that microRNA-132 (miR-132) blocks vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation by inhibiting the expression of LRRFIP1 [leucine-rich repeat (in Flightless 1) interacting protein-1]. MicroRNA microarray revealed that miR-132 was upregulated in the rat carotid artery after catheter injury, which was further confirmed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Transfection of an miR-132 mimic significantly inhibited the proliferation of VSMCs, whereas transfection of an miR-132 antagomir increased it. Bioinformatics showed that LRRFIP1 is a target candidate of miR-132. miR-132 down-regulated luciferase activity driven by a vector containing the 3’-untranslated region of Lrrfip1 in a sequence-specific manner. LRRFIP1 induced VSMC proliferation. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that Lrrfip1 was clearly expressed along with the basal laminar area of smooth muscle, and its expression pattern was disrupted 7 days after arterial injury LRRFIP1 mRNA was decreased 14 days after injury. Delivery of miR-132 to rat carotid artery attenuated neointimal proliferation in carotid artery injury models. Our results suggest that miR-132 is a novel regulator of VSMC proliferation that represses neointimal formation by inhibiting LRRFIP1 expression.

Project description:To further development of the gene expression, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes that are regulated in miR-132 knockdown zebrafish. Zebrafish larvae were injected with Control MO or miR-132 MO at one-cell stage. Then the upregulated genes are combined to the miRNA prediction alagorithm. 21 genes were picked up and verifed by luciferase assay. The total RNA was extracted from 3 dpf zebrafish injected with 8 ng control or miR-132 MO MO. The RNA was applied for the microarray gene proliling

Project description:The subcellular localization of specific mRNAs is an evolutionary conserved mechanism that underlies the establishment of cellular polarity and specialized cell functions. In neurons, mRNA trafficking and local protein translation in dendrites provides an important mechanism that mediates synaptic development and plasticity. The significance of mRNA targeting and protein synthesis in axons, however, is still unclear. Only a small number of transcripts have been identified in axons to date, and their contribution to axon growth and neuronal survival remains largely unknown. Here, we report the results of a novel screen that allowed the separate identification of mRNAs localized in cell bodies and in axons of developing neurons. Using compartmentalized cultures of sympathetic neurons and Sequential Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE), the screen identified more than 200 axonal mRNAs, including ones that encode cytoskeletal proteins and proteins that function in neural development and signal transduction. Importantly, several classes of transcripts were selectively enriched in axons, indicating that an active process drives the targeting of specific mRNAs from the cell bodies to the axons. This study is the first comprehensive and unbiased analysis of mRNA localization in subcellular domains of any neuronal cell type. We used compartmentalized chambers to culture neonatal rat sympathetic neurons (Campenot, 1977). In these cultures, the cell bodies are separated from the distal axons by a 1 mm wide Teflon divider, which maintains the cell bodies and axon terminals in separate fluid compartments. Primary rat sympathetic neurons are especially suitable for compartmentalized culture because they can be grown as a highly homogeneous population without glial cells. Neurons were seeded in the central compartment with nerve growth factor (NGF), and after a few days, the NGF was lowered in this compartment and supplied only to the peripheral compartment to stimulate axon growth. The anti-mitotic agent cytosine arabinoside C (Ara-C) was added to both compartments to remove non-neuronal cells. mRNA was then isolated after 12 days in culture (DIV) from cell body or axon compartments. As the initial mRNA content in axons was not sufficient to perform the SAGE analysis, both axon and cell body mRNAs were subjected to two rounds of linear amplification to obtain antisense RNA (aRNA). The amplified aRNA was then reverse transcribed and second strand synthesis was performed to proceed with the SAGE assay using the LongSAGE kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that control protein expression through translational inhibition or mRNA degradation. MiRNAs have been implicated in diverse biological processes such as development, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Upon treatment with nerve growth factor (NGF), rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells elicit neurite outgrowth and differentiae into neuron-like cells. NGF plays a critical role not only in neuronal differentiation but also in protection against apoptosis. In an attempt to identify NGF-regulated miRNAs in PC12 cells, we performed miRNAM-cM-^@M-^@microarray analysis using total RNAs harvested from cells treated with NGF. In response to NGF treatment, expression of 8 and 12 miRNAs were up- and down-regulated, respectively. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed increased expression of miR-221, miR-181a* and miR-326, and decreased expression of miR-143, miR-210 and miR-532-3p after NGF treatment, among which miR-221 was drastically up-regulated. Overexpression of miR-221 induced neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells in the absence of NGF treatment, and also enhanced neurite outgrowth caused by low-dose NGF. More importantly, knockdown of miR-221 by antagomir attenuated NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth. Finally, miR-221 decreased expression of Foxo3a and Apaf-1, both of which are involved in apoptosis in PC12 cells. Our results indicate that miR-221 plays a critical role for neuronal differentiation as well as protection against apoptosis in PC12 cells. NGF induced miRNAs expression in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells was measured in cells treated with 100 ng/ml NGF for 0, 12, 24 and 48 hr.

Project description:Despite some success of pharmacotherapies targeting primarily neurohormonal dysregulation, heart failure is a growing global pandemic with increasing burden. Treatments that improve the disease by reversing heart failure at the cardiomyocyte level are lacking. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are transcriptional regulators of gene expression, acting through complex biological networks, and playing thereby essential roles in disease progression. Adverse structural remodelling of the left ventricle due to myocardial infarction (MI) is a common pathological feature leading to heart failure. We previously demonstrated increased cardiomyocyte expression of the miR-212/132 family during pathological cardiac conditions. Transgenic mice overexpressing the miR-212/132 cluster (miR-212/132-TG) develop pathological cardiac remodelling and die prematurely from progressive HF. Using both knockout and antisense strategies, we have shown miR-132 to be both necessary and sufficient to drive the pathological growth of cardiomyocytes in a murine model of left ventricular pressure overload. Based on the findings, we proposed that miR-132 may serve as a therapeutic target in heart failure therapy. Here we provide novel mechanistic insight and translational evidence for the therapeutic efficacy in small and large animal models (n=135) of heart failure. We demonstrate strong PK/PD relationship, dose-dependent efficacy and high clinical potential of a novel optimized synthetic locked nucleic acid phosphorothioate backbone antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-132 (antimiR-132) as a next-generation heart failure therapeutic.

Project description:Social interactions are critical components for the survival of mammalian biology and evolution. Dysregulation of social behavior often leads to psychopathologies such as social anxiety disorder, which is characterized by an intense fear and avoidance of social situations. Using the social fear conditioning (SFC) paradigm, we analyzed expression levels of miR-132-3p and miR-124-3p within the septum, a brain region essential for social behavior and fear, after acquisition and extinction of social fear. Functional in vivo approaches using pharmacology, functional inhibition of miR-132-3p, viral miR-132 overexpression and shRNA-mediated knockdown of miR-132-3p within oxytocin receptor positive neurons confirmed septal miR-132-3p to be involved in social fear extinction and the oxytocin-mediated reversal of social fear. Moreover, Argonaute-RNA-co-immunoprecipitation-microarray analysis and further target mRNA quantification, depicted growth differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) to be involved in miR-132-3p-mediated regulation of social fear extinction. Local application of GDF-5 resulted in impaired social fear extinction, an effect which seems to be mediated by miR-132-3p. In summary, we show that septal miR-132-3p is functionally involved in social fear extinction learning and oxytocin-mediated reversal of social fear.
