Insulin-like growth factor-1-mediated regulation of miR-193a expression promotes the migration and proliferation of c-kit-positive mouse cardiac stem cells.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:C-kit-positive cardiac stem cells (CSCs) have been shown to be a promising candidate treatment for myocardial infarction and heart failure. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 is an anabolic growth hormone that regulates cellular proliferation, differentiation, senescence, and death in various tissues. Although IGF-1 promotes the migration and proliferation of c-kit-positive mouse CSCs, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. METHODS:Cells were isolated from adult mouse hearts, and c-kit-positive CSCs were separated using magnetic beads. The cells were cultured with or without IGF-1, and c-kit expression was measured by Western blotting. IGF-1 induced CSC proliferation and migration, as measured through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays, respectively. The miR-193a expression was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays. RESULTS:IGF-1 enhanced c-kit expression in c-kit-positive CSCs. The activities of the phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) were enhanced, and their respective inhibitors LY294002 and 5-azacytidine (5-AZA) blunted c-kit expression. Based on the results of quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays, the expression of miR-193a, which is embedded in a CpG island, was down-regulated in the IGF-1-stimulated group and negatively correlated with c-kit expression, whereas c-kit-positive CSCs infected with lentivirus carrying micro-RNA193a displayed reduced c-kit expression, migration and proliferation. CONCLUSIONS:IGF-1 upregulated c-kit expression in c-kit-positive CSCs resulting in enhanced CSC proliferation and migration by activating the PI3K/AKT/DNMT signaling pathway to epigenetically silence miR-193a, which negatively modifies the c-kit expression level.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study is aimed at exploring the specific expression of miR-193a-3p and the mechanism underlying miR-193a-3p-mediated mesenchymal transition (MT), invasion, and migration in glioma.MethodsThe gene expression profile datasets of GSE39486 and GSE25676 were downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI). Data regarding the expression of miR-193a-3p and survival curves were derived from Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). Online websites including miRWalk, DIANA, and starbase were employed to predict the target genes for miR-193a-3p. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed by the Omicsbean online software. Module analysis of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks was performed by the plug-in Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE), and the degrees of genes were calculated by CytoHubba plug-in of Cytoscape. Survival curves were based on the Gene Expression Profile Interaction Analysis (GEPIA). Transwell, wound healing, and Western blot experiments were performed to investigate the effects of miR-193a-3p and beta-transducin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (BTRC) on the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma.ResultsmiR-193a-3p was highly expressed in glioma tissues and significantly correlated with poor survival in patients with glioma. The target genes for miR-193a-3p were involved in many cancer-related signaling pathways. The PPI showed 11 genes with both high degrees and MCODE scores in the network. Survival analysis demonstrated that the expression of BTRC was significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients with glioma. The results from the transwell, wound healing, and Western blot analyses suggested that miR-193a-3p promoted the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma cells, which could be reversed by BTRC.ConclusionsmiR-193a-3p was upregulated in patients with glioma and could affect the invasion, migration, and MT of glioma by regulating BTRC.
