Retinoid acid-induced microRNA-31-5p suppresses myogenic proliferation and differentiation by targeting CamkII?.

ABSTRACT: We previously reported that Wnt5a/CaMKII? (calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta) pathway was involved in the embryonic tongue deformity induced by excess retinoic acid (RA). Our latest study found that the expression of miR-31-5p, which was predicted to target the 3'UTR of CamkII?, was raised in the RA-treated embryonic tongue. Thus, we hypothesized that the excess RA regulated Wnt5a/CaMKII? pathway through miR-31-5p in embryonic tongue.C2C12 myoblast line was employed as an in vitro model to examine the suppression of miR-31-5p on CamkII? expression, through which RA impaired the myoblast proliferation and differentiation in embryonic tongue.RA stimulated the expression of miR-31-5p in both embryonic tongue and C2C12 myoblasts. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that the 3'UTR of CamkII? was a target of miR-31-5p. MiR-31-5p mimics disrupted CamkII? expression, C2C12 proliferation and differentiation as excess RA did, while miR-31-5p inhibitor partially rescued these defects in the presence of RA.Excess RA can stimulate miR-31-5p expression to suppress CamkII?, which represses the proliferation and differentiation of tongue myoblasts.

Project description:As a member of the integrin family, integrin α3β1 (ITGA3) has been linked to intercellular communication and serves an important role in the signaling among cells and the extracellular matrix. MicroRNA (miR)‑199a‑5p has been demonstrated to be related to the pathogenesis and progression of multiple malignant diseases. However, the biological functions of miR‑199a‑5p and ITGA3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) have rarely been reported. The aim of the present study was to explore the roles of miR‑199a‑5p and ITGA3 in CRC. Immunohistochemistry staining and western blotting were applied to detect the protein expression of ITGA3 in CRC tissues and cells. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was performed to investigate the expression of miR‑199a‑5p and ITGA3 mRNA. HCT‑116 cells were transfected with miR‑199a‑5p mimics, mimics control, short hairpin RNA targeting ITGA3, or pcDNA‑ITGA3 for the functional experiments. Dual luciferase reporter assay was applied to confirm whether miR‑199a‑5p targeted the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of ITGA3. The MTT, Transwell and wound healing assays were used to evaluate the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC cells. Immunofluorescence assay was used to monitor the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker expression. The results demonstrated downregulation of miR‑199a‑5p and upregulation of ITGA3 in CRC tissues and cell lines. miR‑199a‑5p mimics and knockdown of ITGA3 suppressed the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC cells. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR‑199a‑5p targeted the 3'UTR of the ITGA3 transcript, and overexpression of ITGA3 reversed the tumor‑suppressive effects of miR‑199a‑5p elevation. In addition, the immunofluorescence assay suggested that miR‑199a‑5p mimics suppressed the EMT of CRC cells, whereas the overexpression of ITGA3 restored this effect. In conclusion, miR‑199a‑5p may act as a tumor suppressor by targeting and negatively regulating ITGA3 in CRC.

Project description:BackgroundNon-coding RNA is a key epigenetic regulation factor during skeletal muscle development and postnatal growth, and miR-542-3p was reported to be conserved and highly expressed in the skeletal muscle among different species. However, its exact functions in the proliferation of muscle stem cells and myogenesis remain to be determined.MethodsTransfection of proliferative and differentiated C2C12 cells used miR-542-3p mimic and inhibitor. RT-qPCR, EdU staining, immunofluorescence staining, cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8), and Western blot were used to evaluate the proliferation and myogenic differentiation caused by miR-542-3p. The dual luciferase reporter analysis and rescued experiment of the target gene were used to reveal the molecular mechanism.ResultsThe data shows overexpression of miR-542-3p downregulation of mRNA and protein levels of proliferation marker genes, reduction of EdU+ cells, and cellular vitality. Additionally, knocking it down promoted the aforementioned phenotypes. For differentiation, the miR-542-3p gain-of-function reduced both mRNA and protein levels of myogenic genes, including MYOG, MYOD1, et al. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining immunized by MYHC antibody showed that the myotube number, fluorescence intensity, differentiation index, and myotube fusion index all decreased in the miR-542-3p mimic group, compared with the control group. Conversely, these phenotypes exhibited an increased trend in the miR-542-3p inhibitor group. Mechanistically, phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten) was identified as the bona fide target gene of miR-542-3p by dual luciferase reporter gene assay, si-Pten combined with miR-542-3p inhibitor treatments totally rescued the promotion of proliferation by loss-function of miR-542-3p.ConclusionsThis study indicates that miR-542-3p inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of myoblast and Pten is a dependent target gene of miR-542-3p in myoblast proliferation, but not in differentiation.
