MicroRNA-93-5p increases multidrug resistance in human colorectal carcinoma cells by downregulating cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A gene expression.

ABSTRACT: Multidrug resistance (MDR) impedes successful chemotherapy in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and emerging evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRs) are involved in the development of MDR. In the present study, the role of miR-93-5p in the modulation of drug resistance in CRC was investigated using HCT-8 and MDR HCT-8/vincristine (VCR) cell lines. The results demonstrated upregulated expression of miR-93-5p and MDR protein 1 (MDR1) in HCT-8/VCR cells, compared with the parental HCT-8 cells. Furthermore, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A) was identified as a potential target of miR-93-5p using miR target analysis tools, including PicTar, TargetScan and miRanda. In addition, inhibition of miR-93-5p expression in HCT-8/VCR cells markedly downregulated MDR1 gene expression, upregulated CDKN1A gene expression and induced cell cycle arrest in G1. Conversely, the overexpression of miR-93-5p in HCT-8/VCR cells upregulated MDR1 gene expression, downregulated CDKN1A gene expression and promoted G1/S transition. Furthermore, the in vitro drug sensitivity assay performed suggested that downregulation of miR-93-5p enhanced the sensitivity of HCT-8/VCR cells to VCR, while the upregulation of miR-93-5p decreased the sensitivity of HCT-8 cells to VCR. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that miR-93-5p serves a role in the development of MDR through downregulating CDKN1A gene expression in CRC.

Project description:BackgroundEpigenetic factors influence the odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells and play indispensable roles during tooth development. Some microRNAs can epigenetically regulate other epigenetic factors like DNA methyltransferases and histone modification enzymes, functioning as epigenetic-microRNAs. In our previous study, microarray analysis suggested microRNA-93-5p (miR-93-5p) was differentially expressed during the bell stage in human tooth germ. Prediction tools indicated that miR-93-5p may target lysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B). Therefore, we explored the role of miR-93-5p as an epi-miRNA in tooth development and further investigated the underlying mechanisms of miR-93-5p in regulating odontogenic differentiation and dentin formation.MethodsThe expression pattern of miR-93-5p and KDM6B of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) was examined during tooth development and odontogenic differentiation. Dual luciferase reporter and ChIP-qPCR assay were used to validate the target and downstream regulatory genes of miR-93-5p in human DPSCs (hDPSCs). Histological analyses and qPCR assays were conducted for investigating the effects of miR-93-5p mimic and inhibitor on odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. A pulpotomy rat model was further established, microCT and histological analyses were performed to explore the effects of KDM6B-overexpression and miR-93-5p inhibition on the formation of tertiary dentin.ResultsThe expression level of miR-93-5p decreased as odontoblast differentiated, in parallel with elevated expression of histone demethylase KDM6B. In hDPSCs, miR-93-5p overexpression inhibited the odontogenic differentiation and vice versa. MiR-93-5p targeted 3' untranslated region (UTR) of KDM6B, thereby inhibiting its protein translation. Furthermore, KDM6B bound the promoter region of BMP2 to demethylate H3K27me3 marks and thus upregulated BMP2 transcription. In the rat pulpotomy model, KDM6B-overexpression or miR-93-5p inhibition suppressed H3K27me3 level in DPSCs and consequently promoted the formation of tertiary dentin.ConclusionsMiR-93-5p targets epigenetic regulator KDM6B and regulates H3K27me3 marks on BMP2 promoters, thus modulating the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs and dentin formation.

Project description:Background and purposeTrauma-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (TIONFH) is a major complication of femoral neck fractures. Degeneration and necrosis of subchondral bone can cause collapse, which results in hip joint dysfunction in patients. The destruction of bone metabolism homeostasis is an important factor for osteonecrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have an important role in regulating osteogenic differentiation, but the mechanisms underlying abnormal bone metabolism of TIONFH are poorly understood. In this study, we screened specific miRNAs in TIONFH by microarray and further explored the mechanism of osteogenic differentiation.DesignBlood samples from patients with TIONFH and patients without necrosis after trauma were compared by microarray, and bone collapse of necrotic bone tissue was evaluated by micro-CT and immunohistochemistry. To confirm the relationship between miRNA and osteogenic differentiation, we conducted cell culture experiments. We found that many miRNAs were significantly different, including miR-93-5p; the increase in this miRNA was verified by Q-PCR. Comparison of the tissue samples showed that miR-93-5p expression increased, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteopontin (OPN) levels decreased, suggesting miR-93-5p may be involved in osteogenic differentiation. Further bioinformatics analysis indicated that miR-93-5p can target bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2). A luciferase gene reporter assay was performed to confirm these findings. By simulating and/or inhibiting miR-93-5p expression in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, we confirmed that osteogenic differentiation-related indictors, including BMP-2, Osterix, Runt-related transcription factor, ALP and OPN, were decreased by miR-93-5p.ConclusionOur study showed that increased miR-93-5p in TIONFH patients inhibited osteogenic differentiation, which may be associated with BMP-2 reduction. Therefore, miR-93-5p may be a potential target for prevention of TIONFH.
