The effect of transfected miR-10a in IL-1beta-stimulated and non-stimulated keratinocytes

ABSTRACT: miR-10a has been shown to regulate proliferation and invasiveness of cancer cells and inflammatory responses of endothelial cells. The function of miR-10a in the skin has not been studied before. Here we examined miR-10a expression, regulation and functions in keratinocytes (KCs) in association with atopic dermatitis (AD).

Project description:Abstract: Background & Aims: Unusual hypervascularity is a hallmark of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although microRNA-214 (miR-214) is upregulated in other human cancers, it is downregulated in HCC. We elucidated the biological and clinical significance of miR-214 downregulation in HCC. Methods: MicroRNAs deregulated in HCC were identified using array-based MicroRNA profiling. A luciferase reporter assay confirmed target association between miR-214 and hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF). Tube formation and in vivo angiogenesis assays validated the roles of miR-214/HDGF in angiogenesis. Results: MiR-214 downregulation was associated with higher tumor recurrence and worse clinical outcomes. Ectopic expression of miR-214 suppressed xenograft tumor growth and microvascularity of the tumor and its surrounding tissues. The genes downregulated by ectopic expression of miR-214 were involved in the regulation of apoptosis, cell cycle, and angiogenesis. Integrated analysis disclosed HDGF as a downstream target of miR-214. Conditioned medium of HCC cells contained bioactivity to stimulate tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells, which was abolished by pretreatment of the conditioned media with HDGF antibodies, silencing of HDGF expression or ectopic expression of miR-214 in the donor HCC cells. The angiogenic activity of the conditioned media lost by ectopic expression of miR-214 in the donor cells was restored by supplementation with recombinant HDGF. In vivo tumor angiogenesis assays showed significant suppression of tumor vascularity by ectopic expression of miR-214. Conclusions: A novel role of microRNA in tumrigenesis is identified. Downregulation of miR-214 contributes to unusual hypervascularity of HCC via activation of the HDGF paracrine pathway for tumor angiogenesis. To identify miRNAs that are deregulated in human HCC, 68 HCC and 21 non-tumor liver tissues were subjected to profiling of miRNA expression using miRNA arrays containing 739 human miRNA probes. Differentially expressed microRNAs were identified.
