Cardiomyocyte Maturation Requires TLR3 Activated Nuclear Factor Kappa B.

ABSTRACT: The process by which committed precursors mature into cardiomyocytes is poorly understood. We found that TLR3 inhibition blocked cardiomyocyte maturation; precursor cells committed to the cardiomyocyte lineage failed to express maturation genes and sarcomeres did not develop. Using various approaches, we found that the effects of TLR3 upon cardiomyocyte maturation were dependent upon the RelA subunit of nuclear factor kappa B (NF?B). Importantly, under conditions that promote the development of mature cardiomyocytes NF?B became significantly enriched at the promoters of cardiomyocyte maturation genes. Furthermore, activation of the TLR3-NF?B pathway enhanced cardiomyocyte maturation. This study, therefore, demonstrates that the TLR3-NF?B pathway is necessary for the maturation of committed precursors into mature cardiomyocytes. Stem Cells 2018;36:1198-1209.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hsa-microRNA-27b-3p (hsa-miR-27b) is involved in the formation and progression of various cancers, but its role and clinical value in HCC remain unclear.MethodsThe expression of hsa-miR-27b in HCC was examined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH) assays of clinical samples. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assays, Transwell assays, filamentous actin (F-actin) staining and western blot analyses were used to determine the effects of hsa-miR-27b on HCC cells in vitro. Subcutaneous xenograft and lung metastatic animal experiments were conducted to verify the role of hsa-miR-27b in HCC in vivo. In silico prediction, qRT-PCR, western blot, anti-Argonaute 2 (AGO2) RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and dual luciferase reporter assays were applied to identify the target genes of hsa-miR-27b. To detect the impacts of hsa-miR-27b on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-кB) signalling cascades mediated by transforming growth factor-activated kinase-binding protein 3 (TAB3), we performed qRT-PCR, western blot assays, immunofluorescence staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Recombinant oncolytic adenovirus (OncoAd) overexpressing hsa-miR-27b was constructed to detect their therapeutic value in HCC.ResultsThe expression of hsa-miR-27b was lower in HCC than in adjacent non-tumourous tissues (ANTs), and the reduced expression of hsa-miR-27b was associated with worse outcomes in patients with HCC. Hsa-miR-27b significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, subcutaneous tumour growth and lung metastasis of HCC cells. The suppression of hsa-miR-27b promoted the nuclear translocation of NF-κB by upregulating TAB3 expression. TAB3 was highly expressed in HCC compared with ANTs and was negatively correlated with the expression of hsa-miR-27b. The impaired cell proliferation, migration and invasion by hsa-miR-27b overexpression were recovered by ectopic expression of TAB3. Recombinant OncoAd with overexpression of hsa-miR-27b induced anti-tumour activity compared with that induced by negative control (NC) OncoAd in vivo and in vitro.ConclusionsBy targeting TAB3, hsa-miR-27b acted as a tumour suppressor by inactivating the NF-кB pathway in HCC in vitro and in vivo, indicating its therapeutic value against HCC.
