MiR-486 sustains NF-κB activity by disrupting multiple NF-κB-negative feedback loops.

ABSTRACT: Deubiquitinases, such as CYLD, A20 and Cezanne, have emerged as important negative regulators that balance the strength and the duration of NF-κB signaling through feedback mechanisms. However, how these serial feedback loops are simultaneously disrupted in cancers, which commonly exhibit constitutively activated NF-κB, remains puzzling. Herein, we report that miR-486 directly suppresses NF-κB-negative regulators, CYLD and Cezanne, as well as multiple A20 activity regulators, including ITCH, TNIP-1, TNIP-2 and TNIP-3, resulting in promotion of ubiquitin conjugations in NF-κB signaling and sustained NF-κB activity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that upregulation of miR-486 promotes glioma aggressiveness both in vitro and in vivo through activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. Importantly, miR-486 levels in primary gliomas significantly correlate with NF-κB activation status. These findings uncover a novel mechanism for constitutive NF-κB activation in gliomas and support a functionally and clinically relevant epigenetic mechanism in cancer progression.

The negative feedback loop of NF-κB/miR-376b/NFKBIZ in septic acute kidney injury.

Project description:Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the pathogenesis of septic AKI remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate a significant decrease of microRNA-376b (miR-376b) in renal tubular cells in mice with septic AKI. Urinary miR-376b in these mice was also dramatically decreased. Patients with sepsis with AKI also had significantly lower urinary miR-376b than patients with sepsis without AKI, supporting its diagnostic value for septic AKI. LPS treatment of renal tubular cells led to the activation of NF-κB, and inhibition of NF-κB prevented a decrease of miR-376b. ChIP assay further verified NF-κB binding to the miR-376b gene promoter upon LPS treatment. Functionally, miR-376b mimics exaggerated tubular cell death, kidney injury, and intrarenal production of inflammatory cytokines, while inhibiting miR-376b afforded protective effects in septic mice. Interestingly, miR-376b suppressed the expression of NF-κB inhibitor ζ (NFKBIZ) in both in vitro and in vivo models of septic AKI. Luciferase microRNA target reporter assay further verified NFKBIZ as a direct target of miR-376b. Collectively, these results illustrate the NF-κB/miR-376b/NFKBIZ negative feedback loop that regulates intrarenal inflammation and tubular damage in septic AKI. Moreover, urinary miR-376b is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of AKI in patients with sepsis.

MicroRNA-30e* promotes human glioma cell invasiveness in an orthotopic xenotransplantation model by disrupting the NF-κB/IκBα negative feedback loop.

Project description:Constitutive activation of NF-κB is a frequent event in human cancers, playing important roles in cancer development and progression. In nontransformed cells, NF-κB activation is tightly controlled by IκBs. IκBs bind NF-κB in the cytoplasm, preventing it from translocating to the nucleus to modulate gene expression. Stimuli that activate NF-κB signaling trigger IκB degradation, enabling nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Among the genes regulated by NF-κB are those encoding the IκBs, providing a negative feedback loop that limits NF-κB activity. How transformed cells override this NF-κB/IκB negative feedback loop remains unclear. Here, we report in human glioma cell lines that microRNA-30e* (miR-30e*) directly targets the IκBα 3ι-UTR and suppresses IκBα expression. Overexpression of miR-30e* in human glioma cell lines led to hyperactivation of NF-κB and enhanced expression of NF-κB-regulated genes, which promoted glioma cell invasiveness in in vitro assays and in an orthotopic xenotransplantation model. These effects of miR-30e* were shown to be clinically relevant, as miR-30e* was found to be upregulated in primary human glioma cells and correlated with malignant progression and poor survival. Hence, miR-30e* provides an epigenetic mechanism that disrupts the NF-κB/IκBα loop and may represent a new therapeutic target and prognostic marker.

NF-κB regulates neuronal ankyrin-G via a negative feedback loop.

Project description:The axon initial segment (AIS) is a neuronal compartment defined by ankyrin-G expression. We here demonstrate that the IKK-complex co-localizes and interacts with the cytoskeletal anchor protein ankyrin-G in immunoprecipitation and proximity-ligation experiments in cortical neurons. Overexpression of the 270 kDa variant of ankyrin-G suppressed, while gene-silencing of ankyrin-G expression increased nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity in primary neurons, suggesting that ankyrin-G sequesters the transcription factor in the AIS. We also found that p65 bound to the ank3 (ankyrin-G) promoter sequence in chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses thereby increasing ank3 expression and ankyrin-G levels at the AIS. Gene-silencing of p65 or ankyrin-G overexpression suppressed ank3 reporter activity. Collectively these data demonstrate that p65/NF-κB controls ankyrin-G levels via a negative feedback loop, thereby linking NF-κB signaling with neuronal polarity and axonal plasticity.

Positive feedback promotes oscillations in negative feedback loops.

Project description:A simple three-component negative feedback loop is a recurring motif in biochemical oscillators. This motif oscillates as it has the three necessary ingredients for oscillations: a three-step delay, negative feedback, and nonlinearity in the loop. However, to oscillate, this motif under the common Goodwin formulation requires a high degree of cooperativity (a measure of nonlinearity) in the feedback that is biologically "unlikely." Moreover, this recurring negative feedback motif is commonly observed augmented by positive feedback interactions. Here we show that these positive feedback interactions promote oscillation at lower degrees of cooperativity, and we can thus unify several common kinetic mechanisms that facilitate oscillations, such as self-activation and Michaelis-Menten degradation. The positive feedback loops are most beneficial when acting on the shortest lived component, where they function by balancing the lifetimes of the different components. The benefits of multiple positive feedback interactions are cumulative for a majority of situations considered, when benefits are measured by the reduction in the cooperativity required to oscillate. These positive feedback motifs also allow oscillations with longer periods than that determined by the lifetimes of the components alone. We can therefore conjecture that these positive feedback loops have evolved to facilitate oscillations at lower, kinetically achievable, degrees of cooperativity. Finally, we discuss the implications of our conclusions on the mammalian molecular clock, a system modeled extensively based on the three-component negative feedback loop.

miR-130b, an onco-miRNA in bladder cancer, is directly regulated by NF-κB and sustains NF-κB activation by decreasing Cylindromatosis expression.

Project description:Persistent activation of NF-κB signaling is closely related to chronic inflammation and tumorigenesis. Commonly, NF-κB signaling is tightly controlled by multiple feedback loops and regulators, such as the deubiquitinases (DUBs). However, in cancer cells, NF-κB may override these feedbacks through special pathways and lead to the sustained activation. In the present study, we demonstrate that in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of bladder, miR-130b plays an oncogenesis role, it enhanced proliferation, invasion and migration of TCC cell, and was highly correlated with tumor progression. On the other hand, NF-κB directly regulated the transcription of miR-130b by binding with its promoter region. Importantly, we verify that, through deceasing the expression of Cylindromatosis (CYLD), a K63-specific DUB and endogenous blocker of NF-κB signaling, miR-130b can in return sustain the persistent activation of NF-κB, which may promote the malignant progression of TCC. Thus, the present study uncovers a potential signaling transduction in which NF-κB is continuously activated, and may provide a novel therapeutic approach for the clinical management of TCC.

Oscillation patterns in negative feedback loops.

Project description:Organisms are equipped with regulatory systems that display a variety of dynamical behavior ranging from simple stable steady states, to switching and multistability, to oscillations. Earlier work has shown that oscillations in protein concentrations or gene expression levels are related to the presence of at least one negative feedback loop in the regulatory network. Here, we study the dynamics of a very general class of negative feedback loops. Our main result is that, when a single negative feedback loop dominates the dynamical behavior, the sequence of maxima and minima of the concentrations exhibit a pattern that uniquely identifies the interactions of the loop. This allows us to devise an algorithm to (i) test whether observed oscillating time series are consistent with a single underlying negative feedback loop, and if so, (ii) reconstruct the precise structure of the loop, i.e., the activating/repressing nature of each interaction. This method applies even when some variables are missing from the data set, or if the time series shows transients, like damped oscillations. We illustrate the relevance and the limits of validity of our method with three examples: p53-Mdm2 oscillations, circadian gene expression in cyanobacteria, and cyclic binding of cofactors at the estrogen-sensitive pS2 promoter.

MiR-92a and miR-486 are potential diagnostic biomarkers for mercury poisoning and jointly sustain NF-κB activity in mercury toxicity.

Project description:Occupational and environmental exposure to mercury is a public health concern worldwide. Although the altered epigenetic regulatory features, such as microRNA, have been associated with mercury exposure, the underlying molecular mechanism is not well illuminated. This study aimed to confirm that hsa-miR-92a and hsa-miR-486 are novel diagnostic biomarkers of occupational mercury poisoning, and to explore the underlying mechanism of miR-92a and miR-486 in mercury toxicity. RT-qPCR assays and receiver operating characteristics curve analyses were conducted to confirm the diagnostic value of miR-92a and miR-486 as biomarkers of occupational mercury poisoning. Dual-luciferase assay was applied to confirm the target gene of miR-92a and miR-486 in vitro. Then, we established an in-vitro model where miR-92a and miR-486 were overexpressed or knocked down in HEK-293 and HUVEC cells. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to analyze gene and protein expression levels. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Results show that miR-92a and miR-486 expression levels were up-regulated in workers exposed to occupational mercury. Upregulation of miR-92a and miR-486 may play a crucial role in mercury toxicity by jointly activating the NF-κB signaling pathway via targeting KLF4 and Cezanne, respectively.

miR-181d/RBP2/NF-κB p65 Feedback Regulation Promotes Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Blast Crisis.

Project description:BackgroundChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal proliferative disease. Once it progresses into the phase of blast crisis (CML-BP), the curative effect is poor, and the fatality rate is extremely high. Therefore, it is urgent to explore the molecular mechanisms of blast crisis and identify new therapeutic targets.MethodsThe expression levels of miR-181d, RBP2 and NF-κB p65 were assessed in 42 newly diagnosed CML-CP patients and 15 CML-BP patients. Quantitative real-time PCR, Western blots, and cell proliferation assay were used to characterize the changes induced by overexpression or inhibition of miR-181d, RBP2 or p65. Luciferase reporter assay and ChIP assay was conducted to establish functional association between miR-181d, RBP2 and p65. Inhibition of miR-181d expression and its consequences in tumor growth was demonstrated in vivo models.ResultsWe found that miR-181d was overexpressed in CML-BP, which promoted leukemia cell proliferation. Histone demethylase RBP2 was identified as a direct target of miR-181d which downregulated RBP2 expression. Moreover, RBP2 inhibited transcriptional expression of NF-κB subunit, p65 by binding to its promoter and demethylating the tri/dimethylated H3K4 region in the p65 promoter locus. In turn, p65 directly bound to miR-181d promoter and upregulated its expression. Therefore, RBP2 inhibition resulting from miR-181d overexpression led to p65 upregulation which further forwarded miR-181d expression. This miR-181d/RBP2/p65 feedback regulation caused sustained NF-κB activation, which contributed to the development of CML-BP.ConclusionsTaken together, the miR-181d/RBP2/p65 feedback regulation promoted CML-BP and miR-181d may serve as a potential therapeutic target of CML-BP.

Feedback loop in miR-449b-3p/ADAM17/NF-κB promotes metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Project description:An emerging body of evidence has promoted the understanding of the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumorigenesis and progression, but the mediating function of miRNAs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development remains poorly elucidated. In this study, miR-449b-3p was downregulated in NPC specimens (P < .001) and cells (P < .05). Cytological and animal experiments provided evidence that miR-449b-3p inhibited NPC metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) was revealed as a direct target of miR-449b-3p. Rescue experiments suggested that the downregulation of ADAM17 in the miR-449b-3p knockdown cells partially reversed the inhibition of cell invasion and migration. Luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, and Western blot analysis showed that ADAM17 could suppress the promoter activity and expression of miR-449b-3p by inducing NF-κB transcriptional activity. In conclusion, our study provided new insights into the underlying mechanism of the invasion and metastasis of NPC. The novel miR-449b-3p/ADAM17/NF-κB feedback loop could be a target for the clinical treatment of NPC.

Scaffolding protein Grb2-associated binder 1 sustains epidermal growth factor-induced mitogenic and survival signaling by multiple positive feedback loops.

Project description:Grb2-associated binder 1 (GAB1) is a scaffold protein involved in numerous interactions that propagate signaling by growth factor and cytokine receptors. Here we explore in silico and validate in vivo the role of GAB1 in the control of mitogenic (Ras/MAPK) and survival (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt) signaling stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF). We built a comprehensive mechanistic model that allows for reliable predictions of temporal patterns of cellular responses to EGF under diverse perturbations, including different EGF doses, GAB1 suppression, expression of mutant proteins, and pharmacological inhibitors. We show that the temporal dynamics of GAB1 tyrosine phosphorylation is significantly controlled by positive GAB1-PI3K feedback and negative MAPK-GAB1 feedback. Our experimental and computational results demonstrate that the essential function of GAB1 is to enhance PI3K/Akt activation and extend the duration of Ras/MAPK signaling. By amplifying positive interactions between survival and mitogenic pathways, GAB1 plays the critical role in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.
