Different microRNA profiles reveal the diverse outcomes induced by EV71 and CA16 infection in human umbilical vein endothelial cells using high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) remain the predominant pathogens in hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), but the factors underlying the pathogenesis of EV71 and CA16 infections have not been elucidated. Recently, the functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in pathogen-host interactions have been highlighted. In the present study, we performed comprehensive miRNA profiling in EV71- and CA16-infected human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) at multiple time points using high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that 135 known miRNAs exhibited remarkable differences in expression. Of these, 30 differentially expressed miRNAs presented opposite trends in EV71- and CA16-infected samples. Subsequently, we mainly focused on the 30 key differentially expressed miRNAs through further screening to predict targets. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway analysis of the predicted targets showed the enrichment of 14 biological processes, 9 molecular functions, 8 cellular components, and 85 pathways. The regulatory networks of these miRNAs with predicted targets, GOs, pathways, and co-expression genes were determined, suggesting that miRNAs display intricate regulatory mechanisms during the infection phase. Consequently, we specifically analyzed the hierarchical GO categories of the predicted targets involved in biological adhesion. The results indicated that the distinct changes induced by EV71 and CA16 infection may be partly linked to the function of the blood-brain barrier. Taken together, this is the first report describing miRNA expression profiles in HUVECs with EV71 and CA16 infections using high-throughput sequencing. Our data provide useful insights that may help to elucidate the different host-pathogen interactions following EV71 and CA16 infection and offer novel therapeutic targets for these infections.

Project description:BackgroundExposure to diabetes in utero influences future metabolic health of the offspring. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small noncoding RNAs that may contribute mechanistically to the effects on offspring imparted by diabetes mellitus (DM) during pregnancy. We hypothesized that exposure to DM during pregnancy influences select miRNAs in fetal circulation, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and placenta.MethodsmiRNA abundance was quantified using real-time PCR from RNA isolated from umbilical cord serum exosomes, HUVEC, and placenta exposed to diabetes or normoglycemia during pregnancy. The abundance of each of these miRNAs was determined by comparison to a known standard and the relative expression assessed using the 2-ΔΔCt method. Multivariable regression models examined the associations between exposure to diabetes during pregnancy and miRNA expression.ResultsmiR-126-3p was highly abundant in fetal circulation, HUVEC, and placenta. Diabetes exposure during pregnancy resulted in lower expression of miR-148a-3p and miR-29a-3p in the HUVEC. In the placenta, for miR-126-3p, there was a differential effect of DM by birth weight between DM versus control group, expression being lower at the lower birth weight, however not different at the higher birth weight.ConclusionExposure to DM during pregnancy alters miRNA expression in the offspring in a tissue-specific manner.ImpactmiRNAs are differentially expressed in fetal tissues from offspring exposed to in utero diabetes mellitus compared to those who were not exposed. miRNA expression differs among tissue types (human umbilical vein endothelial cells, placenta and circulation exosomes) and response to diabetes exposure varies according to tissue of origin. miRNA expression is also affected by maternal and infant characteristics such as infant birth weight, infant sex, maternal age, and maternal BMI. miRNAs might be one of the potential mechanisms by which offspring's future metabolic status may be influenced by maternal diabetes mellitus.

Project description:BackgroundMicroparticles (MPs) are small extracellular plasma membrane particles shed by activated and apoptotic cells, which are involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Our previous study found that microRNA (miR)-19b encapsulated within endothelial MPs (EMPs) may contribute to the upregulation of circulating miR-19b in unstable angina patients. Hypoxia is involved in atherosclerosis as a critical pathological stimulus. However, it still remains unclear whether the increase of miR-19b levels in EMPs is related to hypoxia and if the effect of miR-19b - wrapped within EMPs - stimulates hypoxia on vascular endothelial cells. This study aimed to explore the changes of miR-19b in EMPs induced by hypoxia as well as their effects on endothelial cells.MethodsHuman umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro and arranged to harvest EMPs in two parts: the first part consisted of EMPcontrol and EMPhypoxia and the second part included EMPvehicle, EMPNC mimic, and EMPmiR-19b mimic. Cell migration was detected by scratch migration and transwell chamber migration. Angiogenesis was assessed by tube formation assays. Furthermore, we predicted the target gene of miR-19b by bioinformatics analysis, and luciferase assay was used to verify the targeted gene of miR-19b. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. Student's t-test was used when two groups were compared.ResultsCompared with EMPcontrol- and EMPhypoxia-inhibited migration of cells by scratch migration assay (80.77 ± 1.10 vs. 28.37 ± 1.40, P < 0. 001) and transwell chamber migration assay (83.00 ± 3.46 vs. 235.00 ± 16.52, P < 0.01), the number of tube formations was markedly reduced by 70% in the EMPhypoxia group (P < 0.001) in vitro analysis of HUVECs. Meanwhile, a strong inhibition of migration and tube formation of HUVECs in the presence of miR-19b-enriched EMPmiR-19b mimic was observed. This effect might be due to the delivery of miR-19b in EMPs. Transforming growth factor-?2 (TGF?2) was predicted to be one of the target genes of miR-19b, and we further confirmed that TGF?2 was a direct target gene of miR-19b using the luciferase assay. The expression of TGF?2 in HUVECs was inhibited by treatment with EMPhypoxia and EMPmiR-19b mimic.ConclusionsMiR-19b in EMPs induced by hypoxia could reduce endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis by downregulating TGF?2 expression, which may have inhibited the progression of atherosclerosis.
