Methylation status and AP1 elements are involved in EBV-mediated miR-155 expression in EBV positive lymphoma cells.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and miR-155 is well established. EBV infection induces miR-155 expression, which is expressed at higher levels in EBV latency type III cells compared to EBV latency type I cells. However, the mechanism by which EBV latency genes activate miR-155 expression is still unclear. Here we present data showing that DNA methylation regulates miR-155 expression. We also provide evidence that the AP1 signaling pathway is involved in EBV-mediated miR-155 activation, and that Bay11 influences signaling of the miR-155 promoter AP1 element. Lastly, we show that LMP2A, LMP1 and EBNAs cannot activate miR-155 expression alone, indicating that the regulation of miR-155 by EBV is dependent on more than one EBV gene or cell signaling pathway. We conclude that the regulation of miR-155 in EBV-positive cells occurs through multiple cell signaling processes involving EBV-mediated chromatin remodeling, cell signaling regulation and transcription factor activation.

Project description:BackgroundThe differentiation of stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) into odontoblasts determines the regeneration of dentin-pulp complex. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), participate in many multiple biological processes, but the specific miRNAs involved in odontogenesis are incompletely defined. It was confirmed that lncRNA IGFBP7-AS1 could positively regulate odontogenetic differentiation in SHEDs. To investigate the downstream mechanisms of this process, miR-335-3p and miR-155-5p were found to be closely related with SHED odontogenic differentiation through whole-genome sequencing. The aim of the current study was to determine the role of miR-335-3p/miR-155-5p in IGFBP7-AS1-enhanced SHED differentiation and explore the potential mechanism of IGFBP7-AS1-mediated odontogenesis.MethodsPutative miR-335-3p/miR-155-5p binding sites within IGFBP7-AS1 were identified by bioinformatics analysis, and the binding of miR-335-3p/miR-155-5p to these sites was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assays. The effects of miR-335-3p/miR-155-5p in odontogenesis were detected by tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase staining, Alizarin red staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses, and western blot testing. The molecular mechanisms of miR-335-3p/miR-155-5p involved in IGFBP7-AS1-mediated odontogenesis were analysed by qRT-PCR and western blot testing.ResultsDual-luciferase reporter gene assays showed that miR-335-3p/miR-155-5p could directly bind to IGFBP7-AS1. MiR-335-3p and miR-155-5p both could down-regulate dentin sialophosphoprotein expression, and both miRNAs could inhibit IGFBP7-AS1-mediated SHED odontogenetic differentiation via suppression of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway.ConclusionsBoth miR-335-3p and miR-155-5p were negative regulators to IGFBP7-AS1-enhanced odontogenic differentiation of SHED through suppression of the ERK pathway.
