The Different Roles of miRNA-92a-2-5p and let-7b-5p in Mitochondrial Translation in db/db Mice.

ABSTRACT: Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in mitochondria is known to be a causal event in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) are able to translocate to mitochondria to modulate mitochondrial activities, but the roles of such miRNAs in diabetic cardiomyopathy remain unclear. We observed a marked reduction of mitochondrial gene cytochrome-b (mt-Cytb) in the heart of db/db mice compared with controls. Downregulation of mt-Cytb by small interfering RNA (siRNA) recaptured some key features of diabetes, including elevated ROS production. Microarray revealed that none of the miRNAs were upregulated, but 14 miRNAs were downregulated in mitochondria of db/db heart. miR-92a-2-5p and let-7b-5p targeted mt-Cytb and positively modulated mt-Cytb expression. Re-expression of miR-92a-2-5p and let-7b-5p into cardiomyocytes led to reduced ROS production. Furthermore, recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-mediated delivery of miR-92a-2-5p, but not let-7b-5p, was sufficient to rescue cardiac diastolic dysfunction in db/db heart. Let-7b-5p not only upregulated mt-Cytb in mitochondria, but also downregulated insulin receptor substrate 1 in cytosol and finally lead to no efficiency for improvement of diastolic dysfunction in db/db mice. Our findings demonstrate that reduced mitochondrial miRNAs contribute to impaired mitochondrial gene expression and elevated ROS production. Re-expression of miR-92a-2-5p enhances mitochondrial translation and reduces ROS production and lipid deposition, which finally rescues diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Project description:ObjectiveCalorie restriction is a first-line treatment for overweight individuals with metabolic impairments. However, few patients can adhere to long-term calorie restriction. An alternative approach to calorie restriction that also causes negative energy balance is mitochondrial uncoupling, which decreases the amount of energy that can be extracted from food. Herein we compare the metabolic effects of calorie restriction with the mitochondrial uncoupler BAM15 in the db/db mouse model of severe hyperglycemia, obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and fatty liver.MethodsMale db/db mice were treated with ∼50% calorie restriction, BAM15 at two doses of 0.1% and 0.2% (w/w) admixed in diet, or 0.2% BAM15 with time-restricted feeding from 5 weeks of age. Mice were metabolically phenotyped over 4 weeks with assessment of key readouts including body weight, glucose tolerance, and liver steatosis. At termination, liver tissues were analysed by metabolomics and qPCR.ResultsCalorie restriction and high-dose 0.2% BAM15 decreased body weight to a similar extent, but mice treated with BAM15 had far better improvement in glucose control. High-dose BAM15 treatment completely normalized fasting glucose and glucose tolerance to levels similar to lean db/+ control mice. Low-dose 0.1% BAM15 did not affect body mass but partially improved glucose tolerance to a similar degree as 50% calorie restriction. Both calorie restriction and high-dose BAM15 significantly improved hyperglucagonemia and liver and serum triglyceride levels. Combining high-dose BAM15 with time-restricted feeding to match the time that calorie restricted mice were fed resulted in the best metabolic phenotype most similar to lean db/+ controls. BAM15-mediated improvements in glucose control were associated with decreased glucagon levels and decreased expression of enzymes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis.ConclusionsBAM15 and calorie restriction treatments improved most metabolic disease phenotypes in db/db mice. However, mice fed BAM15 had superior effects on glucose control compared to the calorie restricted group that consumed half as much food. Submaximal dosing with BAM15 demonstrated that its beneficial effects on glucose control are independent of weight loss. These data highlight the potential for mitochondrial uncoupler pharmacotherapies in the treatment of metabolic disease.

Project description:ObjectiveSkin cutaneous melanoma(SKCM) is the most severe, and complex disease of all skin cancers. The molecular mechanisms of this cancer progression are not well understood.MethodsGEPIA online database was used to validate the differentially expressed genes from two GEO datasets. The prognostic value was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RT-qPCR verified the expression of TUBB4A in SKCM cell line, and the immunohistochemistry of TUBB4A in SKCM and normal skin tissues were gained from Human Protein Atlas. Seven target prediction databases predicted potential microRNAs(miRNAs), and upstream long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) were predicted by starBase. The co-expressed gene of TUBB4A was obtained using the two online analysis sites UALCAN and starBase. These co-expressed genes were performed by enrichment analysis, and immune infiltration result was obtained by the TIMER2 online database. The receiver operating characteristic( ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the diagnostic value of TUBB4A in the SKCM and normal skin group. A new nomogram about TUBB4A was constructed to forecast the survival rate of SKCM patients at 1, 3, and 5 years.ResultsFirstly, we found that DLL3 and TUBB4A were significantly higher expressed in skin cutaneous melanoma than normal skin. Subsequently, by analyzing progress-free interval(PFI), diseasespecific survival(DSS), and disease-free survival(DFS), only TUBB4A was the most potent gene for inhibiting shin cutaneous melanoma progression. In gene ontology(GO)/ kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) analysis, TUBB4A may play a key role in the progression of skin cutaneous melanoma by regulating mitochondrial function and affecting cellular metabolism, possibly related to the immune infiltration of CD4+Th1 cells and NK cells. The upstream non-coding RNA(ncRNA) acts through the SNHG16-hsa-let-7b-5p-TUBB4A axis.ConclusionIn conclusion, we elucidated the regulatory role of the SNHG16-hsa-let-7b-5p-TUBB4A axis in the progression of skin cutaneous melanoma by modulating mitochondrial function to affect cellular metabolism. TUBB4A may be a promising diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for cutaneous skin melanoma.
