Mmu-miR-615-3p regulates lipoapoptosis by inhibiting C/EBP homologous protein.

ABSTRACT: Lipoapoptosis occurring due to an excess of saturated free fatty acids such as palmitate is a key pathogenic event in the initiation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Palmitate loading of cells activates the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, including induction of the proapoptotic transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Furthermore, the loss of microRNAs is implicated in regulating apoptosis under conditions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The aim of this study was to identify specific microRNAs regulating CHOP expression during palmitate-induced ER stress. Five microRNAs were repressed under palmitate-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions in hepatocyte cell lines (miR-92b-3p, miR-328-3p, miR-484, miR-574-5p, and miR-615-3p). We identified miR-615-3p as a candidate microRNA which was repressed by palmitate treatment and regulated CHOP protein expression, by RNA sequencing and in silico analyses, respectively. There is a single miR-615-3p binding site in the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of the Chop transcript. We characterized this as a functional binding site using a reporter gene-based assay. Augmentation of miR-615-3p levels, using a precursor molecule, repressed CHOP expression; and under these conditions palmitate- or tunicamycin-induced cell death were significantly reduced. Our results suggest that palmitate-induced apoptosis requires maximal expression of CHOP which is achieved via the downregulation of its repressive microRNA, miR-615-3p. We speculate that enhancement of miR-615-3p levels may be of therapeutic benefit by inhibiting palmitate-induced hepatocyte lipoapoptosis.

MicroRNA 615-3p Inhibits the Tumor Growth and Metastasis of NSCLC via Inhibiting IGF2.

Project description:MicroRNAs are essential regulators of cancer-associated genes at the posttranscriptional level, and their expression is altered in cancer tissues. Herein we sought to identify the regulation of miR-615-3p in NSCLC progression and its mechanism. miR-615-3p expression was significantly downregulated in NSCLC tissue compared to control normal tissue. Exogenous overexpression of miR-615-3p inhibited the growth and metastasis of NSCLC cells. In addition, the in vivo mouse xenograft model showed that overexpression of miR-615-3p inhibited NSCLC growth and lung metastasis, whereas decreased expression of miR-615-3p caused an opposite outcome. Furthermore, we revealed that insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) expression was negatively correlated with the miR-615-3p level in NSCLC specimens, and IGF2 knockdown mimicked the effect of miR-615-3p inhibition on NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In addition, overexpression of IGF2 rescued the inhibition of miR-615-3p in NSCLC cells. Together, our results indicated that miR-615-3p played important roles in the regulation of NSCLC growth and metastasis by targeting IGF2.

Mmu-miR-1894-3p Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Migration of Breast Cancer Cells by Targeting Trim46.

Project description:Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women and the presence of metastasis significantly decreases survival. MicroRNAs are involved in tumor progression and the metastatic spreading of breast cancer. Here, we reported that a microRNA, mmu-miR-1894, significantly decreased the lung metastasis of 4TO7 mouse breast cancer cells by 86.7% in mouse models. Mmu-miR-1894-3p was the functional mature form of miR-1894 and significantly decreased the lung metastasis of 4TO7 cells by 90.8% in mouse models. A dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that mmu-miR-1894-3p directly targeted the tripartite motif containing 46 (Trim46) 3'-untranslated region (UTR) and downregulated the expression of Trim46 in 4TO7 cells. Consistent with the effect of mmu-miR-1894-3p, knockdown of Trim46 inhibited the experimental lung metastasis of 4TO7 cells. Moreover, knockdown of human Trim46 also prohibited the cell proliferation, migration and wound healing of MBA-MD-231 human breast cancer cells. These results suggested that the effect of knockdown of Trim46 alone was sufficient to recapitulate the effect of mmu-miR-1894 on the metastasis of the breast cancer cells in mouse and that Trim46 was involved in the proliferation and migration of mouse and human breast cancer cells.

Circular RNA-ZNF609 regulates retinal neurodegeneration by acting as miR-615 sponge.

Project description:Glaucoma is a major cause of visual impairment characterized by progressive retinal neurodegeneration. Circular RNAs are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. In this study, we investigated the role of cZNF609 in retinal neurodegeneration induced by glaucoma. Methods: qRT-PCR and Sanger sequencing were conducted to detect cZNF609 expression pattern during retinal neurodegeneration. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect the effect of cZNF609 silencing on retinal neurodegeneration in vivo. MTT assay, Ki67 staining, and PI staining were conducted to detect the effect of cZNF609 silencing on retinal glial cells and RGC function in vitro. Bioinformatics analysis, RNA pull-down assays, and in vitro studies were conducted to reveal the mechanism of cZNF609-mediated retinal neurodegeneration. Results: cZNF609 expression was significantly up-regulated during retinal neurodegeneration. cZNF609 silencing reduced retinal reactive gliosis and glial cell activation, and facilitated RGC survival in vivo. cZNF609 silencing directly regulated Müller cell function but indirectly regulated RGC function in vitro. cZNF609 acted as an endogenous miR-615 sponge to sequester and inhibit miR-615 activity, which led to increased METRN. METRN overexpression could partially rescue cZNF609 silencing-mediated inhibitory effects on retinal glial cell proliferation. Conclusion: Intervention of cZNF609 expression is a promising therapeutic strategy for retinal neurodegeneration.

miR-3059-3p Regulates Glioblastoma Multiforme Radiosensitivity Enhancement through the Homologous Recombination Pathway of DNA Repair.

Project description:BackgroundGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most deadly and recalcitrant illnesses of the neurocentral nervous system in humans. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that play important roles in the regulation of gene expression and biological processes, including radiosensitivity. In this study, we demonstrated the relationship between miR-3059-3p and radiation in GBM.Materials and methodsRadioresistant (RR) cells were obtained by exposing GBM8401 cells to 80 Gy radiation in 20 weekly 4 Gy fractions. miR-3059-3p mRNA and DNA replication helicase/nuclease 2 (DNA2) protein expressions were detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting. Using flow cytometry, colony formation and apoptosis were identified using miR-3059-3p mimic, miR-3059-3p inhibitor, DNA2 siRNA, and DNA2 plasmid. Immunoblotting was used to detect DNA repair proteins.ResultsLow levels of miR-3059-3p and high levels of DNA2 were observed in RR cells. Colony formation and apoptosis assays revealed that miR-3059-3p targeted DNA2 to regulate radioresistance. Immunoblotting revealed that miR-3059-3p regulated the homologous recombination (HR) pathway (Rad51 and Rad52) but not the nonhomologous end joining pathway (ku70 and ku80).ConclusionDownregulation of DNA2 via miR-3059-3p enhanced the radiosensitivity of GBM cells through the inhibition of the HR pathway.

The Potential Tumor Promotional Role of circVAPA in Retinoblastoma via Regulating miR-615-3p and SMARCE1.

Project description:Background:Growing evidence reveals that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play roles in cancer development. However, the effects and possible mechanisms of circRNAs in retinoblastoma (RB) are far from clear. Methods:circVAPA expression pattern was identified by RT-qPCR. circVAPA induced effects on RB cells were tested by CCK-8, clone forming, flow cytometry and transwell assays. Bioinformatics assay, rescue experiments and dual-luciferase tests were applied for mechanism exploration. Additionally, mouse models were established for in vivo assays. Results:circVAPA was upregulated in human RB specimen and RB cell lines, and was correlated with poor outcomes of Rb patients. Knockdown of circVAPA could suppress the malignant phenotypes of RB. Mechanistic experiments demonstrated that miR-615-3p could reverse the circVAPA induced effects on RB cells, and the downstream oncogene SMARCE1 was positively regulated by circVAPA via miR-615-3p. Further, in vivo analysis confirmed the findings. Conclusion:In summary, circVAPA promoted RB proliferation and metastasis by sponging miR-615-3p, thereby upregulating SMARCE1. CircVAPA was a potential biomarker for Rb therapy.

HoxC5 and miR-615-3p target newly evolved genomic regions to repress hTERT and inhibit tumorigenesis.

Project description:The repression of telomerase activity during cellular differentiation promotes replicative aging and functions as a physiological barrier for tumorigenesis in long-lived mammals, including humans. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here we describe how miR-615-3p represses hTERT expression. mir-615-3p is located in an intron of the HOXC5 gene, a member of the highly conserved homeobox family of transcription factors controlling embryogenesis and development. Unexpectedly, we found that HoxC5 also represses hTERT expression by disrupting the long-range interaction between hTERT promoter and its distal enhancer. The 3'UTR of hTERT and its upstream enhancer region are well conserved in long-lived primates. Both mir-615-3p and HOXC5 are activated upon differentiation, which constitute a feed-forward loop that coordinates transcriptional and post-transcriptional repression of hTERT during cellular differentiation. Deregulation of HOXC5 and mir-615-3p expression may contribute to the activation of hTERT in human cancers.

Interference with lactate metabolism by mmu-miR-320-3p via negatively regulating GLUT3 signaling in mouse Sertoli cells.

Project description:Disruption of the nursery function in Sertoli cells (SCs) by reducing lactate production, a preferred energy substrate for developed germ cells (spermatocytes and spermatids), is tightly associated with spermatogenic failure such as SC-only syndrome (SCOS). However, whether this complicated pathogenesis is regulated by certain miRNAs at the post-transcriptional level remain fascinating but largely unknown. Here we show for the first time that mmu-miR-320-3p was exclusively expressed in murine SCs and this expression was significantly induced in busulphan-treated murine testis. The most efficient stimulatory germ cell types for the induction of apoptosis-elicited mmu-miR-320-3p expression were meiotic spermatocytes and haploid spermatids. Functionally, forced expression of the exogenous mmu-miR-320-3p in SCs compromises male fertility by causing oligozoospermia and defection of sperm mobility. Mechanistically, mmu-miR-320-3p negatively regulates lactate production of SCs by directly inhibiting glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3) expression. Thus, dysregulation of mmu-miR-320-3p/GLUT3 cascade and consequently of lactate deficiency may be a key molecular event contributing the germ cell loss by SC dysfunction. Future endeavor in the continuous investigation of this important circulating miRNA may shed novel insights into epigenetic regulation of SCs nursery function and the etiology of azoospermia, and offers novel therapeutic and prognostic targets for SCOS.

Mouse bone marrow cells transfected with mmu-miR-142-3p mimic oligo.

Project description:Tumor progression is accompanied by an altered myelopoiesis that causes the accumulation of cells inhibiting anti-tumor T lymphocytes. We previously reported that immunosuppressive cells can be generated in vitro from bone marrow cells (BM) after four days GM-CSF and IL-6 treatment. Here, we describe that miR-142-3p down-regulation directs macrophage differentiation and determines the acquisition of their immunosuppressive function in cancer. Enforced miR over-expression impaired monocyte to macrophage transition both in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, forced miR down-regulation promoted the generation of immunosuppressive macrophages even during G-CSF-induced granulocytic differentiation. To identify how miR-142-3p regulates MDSC generation and activity, we analyze the gene expression of BM cultures transfected with either CTRL- or miR 142-3p mimic oligo -transfected before four days GM-CSF and IL-6 treatment. Keywords: Expression profiling by array BM cells were transfected either CTRL- or miR 142-3p mimic oligo before GM-CSF and IL-6 treatment to generate in vitro MDSCs during enforced miR over-expression. A triplicate of each sample was considered.Total RNA from obtained in vitro BM-differentiated MDSCs was isolated by Trizol reagent, and cRNA samples were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430 2.0.
