Medical examination powers miR-194-5p as a biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT: An important attribute of microRNAs is their potential use as disease biomarkers. However, such applications may be restricted because of unsatisfactory performance of the microRNA of interest. Owing to moderate correlation with spine T-score, miR-194-5p was identified as a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Here, we determined whether medical examination could improve its characteristic as a biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis. We recruited 230 postmenopausal Chinese women to measure circulating levels of miR-194-5p, determine the spine bone status, and perform a 42-item medical examination. No obvious information redundancy was observed between miR-194-5p and any one item. However, on examining miR-194-5p alone, the sensitivity at fixed specificity of 0.9 (SESP=0.9) was 0.27, implying poor identification of at-risk individuals. Model integration of the microRNA and multiple medical items strengthened this property; in addition, model complexity greatly contributed to performance improvement. Using a model composed of two artificial neural networks, the ability of miR-194-5p to identify at-risk individuals significantly improved (SESP=0.9 = 0.54) when correlated with five medical items: weight, age, left ventricular end systolic diameter, alanine aminotransferase, and urine epithelial cell count. We present a feasible way to achieve a more accurate microRNA-based biomarker for a disease of interest.

Identification of miR-194-5p as a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Project description:The incidence of osteoporosis is high in postmenopausal women due to altered estrogen levels and continuous calcium loss that occurs with aging. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the development of osteoporosis. These miRNAs may be used as potential biomarkers to identify women at a high risk for developing the disease. In this study, whole blood samples were collected from 48 postmenopausal Chinese women with osteopenia or osteoporosis and pooled into six groups according to individual T-scores. A miRNA microarray analysis was performed on pooled blood samples to identify potential miRNA biomarkers for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Five miRNAs (miR-130b-3p, -151a-3p, -151b, -194-5p, and -590-5p) were identified in the microarray analysis. These dysregulated miRNAs were subjected to a pathway analysis investigating whether they were involved in regulating osteoporosis-related pathways. Among them, only miR-194-5p was enriched in multiple osteoporosis-related pathways. Enhanced miR-194-5p expression in women with osteoporosis was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis. For external validation, a significant correlation between the expression of miR-194-5p and T-scores was found in an independent patient collection comprised of 24 postmenopausal women with normal bone mineral density, 30 postmenopausal women with osteopenia, and 32 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (p < 0.05). Taken together, the present findings suggest that miR-194-5p may be a viable miRNA biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

MiR-16-5p regulates postmenopausal osteoporosis by directly targeting VEGFA.

Project description:In this study, we used bioinformatics tools, and experiments with patient tissues and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to identify differentially regulated genes (DEGs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) that promote postmenopausal osteoporosis. By analyzing the GSE56815 dataset from the NCBI GEO database, we identified 638 DEGs, including 371 upregulated and 267 downregulated genes, in postmenopausal women with low bone density. Enrichment and protein-protein interaction network analyses showed that TP53, RPS27A, and VEGFA were the top three hub genes with the highest degree of betweenness and closeness centrality. TargetScanHuman and DIANA software analyses and dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-16a-5p directly targets the 3'UTR of VEGFA. Postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis showed higher miR-16-5p and lower VEGFA levels than those without osteoporosis (n=10 each). VEGFA levels were higher in miR-16-5p knockdown hMSCs and were reduced in miR-16-5p-overexpressing hMSCs. mRNA expression of osteogenic markers, ALP, OCN, and RUNX2, as well as calcium deposition based on Alizarin red staining, correlated inversely with miR-16-5p levels and correlated positively with VEGFA levels. These findings suggest that miR-16-5p suppresses osteogenesis by inhibiting VEGFA expression and is a promising target for postmenopausal osteoporosis therapy.

MiR-422a as a potential cellular microRNA biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNAs. Recently, miRNAs have been shown to play important roles in the etiology of various diseases. However, little is known about their roles in the development of osteoporosis. Circulating monocytes are osteoclast precursors that also produce various factors important for osteoclastogenesis. Previously, we have identified a potential biomarker miR-133a in circulating monocytes for postmenopausal osteoporosis. In this study, we aimed to further identify significant miRNA biomarkers in human circulating monocytes underlying postmenopausal osteoporosis.Methodology/principal findingsWe used ABI TaqMan miRNA array followed by qRT-PCR validation in human circulating monocytes from 10 high BMD and 10 low BMD postmenopausal Caucasian women to identify miRNA biomarkers. MiR-422a was up-regulated with marginal significance (P = 0.065) in the low compared with the high BMD group in the array analysis. However, a significant up-regulation of miR-422a was identified in the low BMD group by qRT-PCR analysis (P = 0.029). We also performed bioinformatic target gene analysis and found several potential target genes of miR-422a which are involved in osteoclastogenesis. Further qRT-PCR analyses of the target genes in the same study subjects showed that the expression of five of these genes (CBL, CD226, IGF1, PAG1, and TOB2) correlated negatively with miR-422a expression.Conclusions/significanceOur study suggests that miR-422a in human circulating monocytes (osteoclast precursors) is a potential miRNA biomarker underlying postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Inhibition of Circulating miR-194-5p Reverses Osteoporosis through Wnt5a/β-Catenin-Dependent Induction of Osteogenic Differentiation.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) critically contribute to bone formation, and proper induction of osteogenic differentiation can lead to an increase in bone mass. In the present study, we reported that an increased miR-194-5p level in plasma is inversely related to the degree of bone formation in osteoporosis patients. We also noted that increased miR-194-5p in the MSCs of ovariectomized (OVX) mice and agomiR-194-5p manipulation of miR-194-5p significantly suppressed bone formation, both in aged and OVX mice. Furthermore, our in vitro study showed that overexpression of miR-194-5p suppresses osteogenic differentiation, as evidenced by the decreased bone formation marker genes and matrix mineralization. The luciferase assay indicated that Wnt family member 5a (Wnt5a) is a target gene of miR-194-5p that positively regulates osteogenic differentiation. Collectively, these data indicated that miR-194-5p inhibition may be a potential strategy for osteoporosis prevention.

miR-194-5p/BCLAF1 deregulation in AML tumorigenesis.

Project description:Deregulation of epigenetic mechanisms, including microRNA, contributes to leukemogenesis and drug resistance by interfering with cancer-specific molecular pathways. Here, we show that the balance between miR-194-5p and its newly discovered target BCL2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1) regulates differentiation and survival of normal hematopoietic progenitors. In acute myeloid leukemias this balance is perturbed, locking cells into an immature, potentially 'immortal' state. Enhanced expression of miR-194-5p by treatment with the histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA or by exogenous miR-194-5p expression re-sensitizes cells to differentiation and apoptosis by inducing BCLAF1 to shuttle between nucleus and cytosol. miR-194-5p/BCLAF1 balance was found commonly deregulated in 60 primary acute myeloid leukemia patients and was largely restored by ex vivo SAHA treatment. Our findings link treatment responsiveness to re-instatement of miR-194-5p/BCLAF1 balance.
