Project description:This study explored the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) and miR-155-5p for diabetic nephropathy and the correlation with urinary microalbumin. A total of 145 patients with type 2 diabetes who attended the Hwamei hospital were selected as research objects and assigned to diabetic nephropathy group (DN group) and diabetes group according to whether they suffered from diabetic nephropathy (DN). The expression levels of urine VDBP and serum miR-155-5p in the two groups were detected, and the correlation between urinary microalbumin (mAlb), serum cystatin C (Cys C) and 24-h urinary protein was analyzed. The predictive value of single and joint detection of urinary VDBP and serum miR-155-5p for DN onset and poor prognosis was analyzed. In DN patients, urine VDBP and serum miR-155-5p were highly expressed, and urine VDBP, serum miR-155-5p and mAlb, Cys C and 24-h urine protein were positively correlated (P<0.05). Moreover, the joint detection of urine VDBP and serum miR-155-5p was more valuable in diagnosis and poor prognosis prediction of DN patients than its single detection. Urine VDBP and serum miR-155-5p have good diagnostic value for DN, but their joint diagnostic value is higher, and their expression levels are all related to mAlb of DN patients, which may be used as new biological indicators for diagnosis and disease assessment.

Project description:The most frequent primary brain tumor in adults is glioma, yet no effective curative treatments are currently available. Our previous study demonstrated the enhancing effects of JARID2 on glioma sensitivity to TMZ treatment. In this study, miR-155 is predicted to target JARID2. miR-155 is overexpressed in clinical glioma specimens and cell lines. miR-155 overexpression in glioma cells enhances cell viability and represses cell apoptosis. Through targeting, miR-155 inhibits JARID2 expression. miR-155 inhibition inhibits glioma cell viability and enhances cell apoptosis, whereas JARID2 knockdown enhances cell viability and inhibits cell apoptosis; JARID2 knockdown partially reverses miR-155 inhibition effects on glioma phenotypes. miR-155 inhibition reduces but knockdown of JARID2 promotes the tumor formation ability of glioma cells in vivo. Valproic acid (VPA) upregulates JARID2 expression, inhibits glioma cell viability and enhances cell apoptosis. VPA downregulates the expression level of miR-155 by increasing the methylation level of the miR-155 promoter, suggesting that the miR-155/JARID2 axis is implicated in VPA inhibition of glioma cell viability and enhancement of glioma cell apoptosis. This study demonstrates a new mechanism of VPA treatment of gliomas by affecting the miR-155/JARID2 axis, which could be regarded as a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of glioma.

Project description:The data presented here are related to our research article entitled "miR-132/212 is induced by stress and its dysregulation triggers anxiety-related behavior" (Aten et al., 2018). In this article, we utilize immunofluorescent techniques to examine the protein-level expression of two microRNA-132/212 target genes, Sirt1 and Pten, in miR-132 transgenic and miR-132/212 conditional knockout (cKO) mouse lines. Additionally, using immunohistochemistry, we detail the expression profile of Sirt1 and Pten in the hippocampus and amygdala of WT mice after a 15?day chronic restraint stress paradigm.

Project description:Introduction: Acute graft vs. host disease (aGvHD) is a frequent complication following allogeneic haematopoeitic transplantation (HSCT). Despite recent advances, there are no universally accepted biomarkers to determine development of aGvHD. MicroRNAs miR-146a and miR-155 have been previously associated with aGvHD and show promise as clinically translatable biomarkers. In this study, we performed comprehensive expression profiling of miR-146a, miR-155, and miR-155* expression in aGvHD target tissue and biofluids and relate expression to post-HSCT outcomes. Materials and Methods: MicroRNA expression was assessed by qRT-PCR in gastrointestinal (n = 31) and skin (n = 31) biopsies as well as serum (exploratory cohort n = 34, verification cohort n = 81, diagnostic cohort n = 65) and urine (exploratory cohort n = 30, verification cohort n = 56, diagnostic cohort n = 20) biofluids, including extracellular vesicle (EV) cohorts (serum EV n = 15, urine EV n = 30). Expression was related to aGvHD incidence, severity and overall survival. Results: In GI samples, expression of miR-155 (p = 0.03) and miR-146a (p = 0.03) was higher at aGvHD onset compared to patients with no GvHD. In skin biopsies, expression of miR-155 (p = 0.004) was upregulated in aGvHD patients compared to normal control skin. Expression of miR-146a was higher in aGvHD compared to no aGvHD biopsies (p = 0.002). In serum, miR-155 (p = 0.03) and miR-146a (p = 0.02) expression was higher at day 14 (D14), while in urine expression was elevated at D7 post-HSCT in patients who developed aGvHD compared to those disease-free. This was verified in an independent serum (miR-155 p = 0.005, miR-146a p = 0.003) and urine (miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.04) cohort, where both microRNAs were also associated with aGvHD by ROC analysis. In serum and urine samples taken at the time of aGvHD symptoms, expression of miR-155 and miR-146a was also elevated (serum miR-155 p = 0.03, miR-146a p < 0.001; urine miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.02). In contrast, miR-146a and miR-155 were downregulated at D14 in serum EVs and at D7 in urine EVs in patients who developed aGvHD compared to those that remained disease-free, in both an exploratory (serum miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.06; urine miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.07) and an independent cohort (serum miR-155 p = 0.01, miR-146a p = 0.02). Conclusions: These results further support a role for miR-155 and miR-146a as non-invasive, clinically relevant biomarkers for aGvHD. However, the link between their involvement in generalized inflammation and in specific pathophysiology requires further investigation at a systemic level.

Project description:Infection-driven inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ~15-20% of human tumors. Expression of microRNA-155 (miR-155) is elevated during innate immune response and autoimmune disorders as well as in various malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms providing miR-155 with its oncogenic properties remain unclear. We examined the effects of miR-155 overexpression and proinflammatory environment on the frequency of spontaneous hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) mutations that can be detected based on the resistance to 6-thioguanine. Both miR-155 overexpression and inflammatory environment increased the frequency of HPRT mutations and down-regulated WEE1 (WEE1 homolog-S. pombe), a kinase that blocks cell-cycle progression. The increased frequency of HPRT mutation was only modestly attributable to defects in mismatch repair machinery. This result suggests that miR-155 enhances the mutation rate by simultaneously targeting different genes that suppress mutations and decreasing the efficiency of DNA safeguard mechanisms by targeting of cell-cycle regulators such as WEE1. By simultaneously targeting tumor suppressor genes and inducing a mutator phenotype, miR-155 may allow the selection of gene alterations required for tumor development and progression. Hence, we anticipate that the development of drugs reducing endogenous miR-155 levels might be key in the treatment of inflammation-related cancers.

Project description:MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) has been as an important controller of TLR3 signalling. However, the interactions between miR-155 and TLR3 are poorly understood. Here, we focused on the regulation of the relationship between miR-155 and TLR3. Sequence analyses and firefly luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-155 target were present in the coding sequences (CDS) of TLR3. And the expression of the TLR3 protein could be inhibited by a miR-155 mimic or by a virally encoded orthologue in chick embryo fibroblast cells. Notably, endogenous miR-155 induction emerged a negative regulation on TLR3 expression in TLR2, 4 and 7 ligands stimulated HD11 cells, an avian macrophage cell line. Moreover, treatment with the miR-155 antagomir increased TLR3 levels while significantly decreased the abundance of TLR3 with miR-155 agomir. In addition, our data showed that miR-155 could inhibit IFN-β production possibly though TLR3 signal pathway. All these findings might reveal a new mechanism by which miR-155 can regulate the TLR3 immune response.

Project description:MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated in primary effector CD8 T cells but is expressed at low amounts in naïve cells. Anti-viral CD8 T cell responses and viral clearance were impaired in miR-155 deficient (bic-/-) mice, and this defect was intrinsic to CD8 T cells, as adoptively transferred bic-/- CD8 T cells generated greatly reduced primary and memory responses during infection. To understand the mechanism by which miR-155 regulates CD8 T cell activation, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of naive and in vitro activated wild-type and bic-/- CD8 T cells.

Project description:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a secreted protein of the neurotrophin family that regulates brain development, synaptogenesis, memory and learning, as well as development of peripheral organs, such as angiogenesis in the heart and postnatal growth and repair of skeletal muscle. However, while precise regulation of BDNF levels is an important determinant in defining the biological outcome, the role of microRNAs (miRs) in modulating BDNF expression has not been extensively analyzed. Using in silico approaches, reporter systems, and analysis of endogenous BDNF, we show that miR-1, miR-10b, miR-155, and miR-191 directly repress BDNF through binding to their predicted sites in BDNF 3'UTR. We find that the overexpression of miR-1 and miR-10b suppresses endogenous BDNF protein levels and that silencing endogenous miR-10b increases BDNF mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, we show that miR-1/206 binding sites within BDNF 3'UTR are used in differentiated myotubes but not in undifferentiated myoblasts. Finally, our data from two cell lines suggest that endogenous miR-1/206 and miR-10 family miRs act cooperatively in suppressing BDNF through their predicted sites in BDNF 3'UTR. In conclusion, our results highlight miR-1, miR-10b, miR-155, and miR-191 as novel regulators of BDNF long and short 3'UTR isoforms, supporting future research in different physiological and pathological contexts.

Project description:Several studies have indicated an important role for miR-155 in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. Highly elevated levels of miR-155 were indeed observed in most B-cell lymphomas with the exception of Burkitt lymphoma (BL). However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie the oncogenic role of miR-155 in B-cell lymphoma are not well understood. To identify the miR-155 targets relevant for B-cell lymphoma, we performed RNA immunoprecipitation of Argonaute 2 in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cells upon miR-155 inhibition and in BL cells upon ectopic expression of miR-155. We identified 54 miR-155-specific target genes in BL cells and confirmed miR-155 targeting of DET1, NIAM, TRIM32, HOMEZ, PSIP1 and JARID2. Five of these targets are also regulated by endogenous miR-155 in HL cells. Both overexpression of miR-155 and inhibition of expression of the novel miR-155 target gene NIAM increased proliferation of BL cells. In primary B-cell lymphoma NIAM-positive cases have significant lower levels of miR-155 as compared to NIAM-negative cases, suggesting that NIAM is also regulated by miR-155 in primary B-cell lymphoma. Thus, our data indicate an oncogenic role for miR-155 in B-cell lymphoma which involves targeting the tumor suppressor NIAM.

Project description:MicroRNA 155 (miR-155) is an oncomir, generated as a noncoding RNA from the BIC gene whose promoter activity is mainly controlled via activation protein 1 (AP-1) and NF-κB transcription factors. We found that the expression levels of miR-155 and programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4) exhibit inverse relationships in tongue cancer cells (SAS and AWL) and tumor tissues compared to their relationships in normal FBM cells and normal tongue tissues, respectively. In silico and in vitro studies with the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of Pdcd4 via luciferase reporter assays, quantitative PCR (qPCR), and Western blotting showed that miR-155 directly targets Pdcd4 mRNA and blocks its expression. Ectopic expression of Pdcd4 or knockdown of miR-155 in tongue cancer cells predominantly reduces AP-1-dependent transcriptional activity of the BIC promoter and decreases miR-155 expression. In this study, we demonstrate that miR-155 expression is modulated by a feedback loop between Pdcd4, AP-1, and miR-155 which results in enhanced expression of miR-155 with a consequent progression of tongue tumorigenesis. Further, miR-155 knockdown increases apoptosis, arrests the cell cycle, regresses tumor size in xenograft nude mice, and reduces cell viability and colony formation in soft-agar and clonogenic assays. Thus, the restoration of Pdcd4 levels by the use of molecular manipulation such as using a miR-155 sponge has an essential role in the therapeutic intervention of cancers, including tongue cancer.
