MiR-539-5p negatively regulates migration of rMSCs induced by Bushen Huoxue decoction through targeting Wnt5a.

ABSTRACT: Bone fractures are very common, and above 5% of the fractures are impaired, leading to nonunions and severe disablilities. The traditional Chinese medicine Bushen Huoxue decoction (BHD) has been used to treat fracture in China. Our previous report has found that BHD promotes migration of rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) by activating Wnt5a signaling pathway. However, whether and how miRNAs are involved in modulating rMSCs migration induced by BHD has not been explored. In the present study, miRNA microarray analysis and further validation by real-time quantitative RT-PCR revealed that miR-539-5p was down-regulated in BHD-induced rMSCs. Transfection of miR-539-5p mimics suppressed rMSCs migration while the miR-539-5p inhibitor promoted rMSCs migration. Our results suggested that miR-539-5p was a negative regulator of migration of rMSCs induced by BHD. Target prediction analysis tools and Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay identified Wnt5a as a direct target of miR-539-5p. MiR-539-5p inhibited the expression of the Wnt5a and its downstream signaling molecules including JNK, PKC and CaMKII, which played a critical role in regulating migration of rMSCs. Taken together, our results demonstrate that miR-539-5p negatively regulates migration of rMSCs induced by BHD through targeting Wnt5a. These findings provide evidence that miR-539-5p should be considered as an important candidate target for the development of preventive or therapeutic approaches against bone nonunions.

Project description:ObjectiveBushen Huoxue Huatan Decoction (BHHD) is a classic prescription for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study aims to explore the effects and possible mechanisms of BHHD on PCOS by integrating network pharmacology and clinical study.MethodsThe components and potential drug targets of BHHD were analysed using the TCMSP platform, and the potential pathogenesis targets for PCOS were analysed using the GeneCards and OMIM databases. Subsequently, a disease-compound-target network diagram was established to identify the targets of BHHD treatment on PCOS. In addition, protein-protein interaction analysis, KEGG pathway analysis, and Gene Ontology biological analysis were carried out to reveal the mechanisms of BHHD. To further validate the analysis, a clinical trial involving 62 PCOS patients was conducted. All patients were treated with BHHD for 3 months and the ovulation rate, anthropometric indicators, clinical symptoms, and serological indicators were measured and compared before and after treatment.ResultsThe network pharmacology analysis showed that quercetin, luteolin, and kaempferol are the most significant active components in BHHD; STAT3, Jun, AKT1, MAPK3, MAPK1, and TP53 are the most critical drug targets; regulating hormones, reversing insulin (INS) resistance, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, and improving fertility might be the most important mechanisms of BHHD in the treatment of PCOS. After BHHD administration, the cyclic ovulation rate and the clinical symptoms including acanthosis nigricans and acne of patients were obviously improved. The serum endocrine levels of luteinising hormone (LH), LH/follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, insulin (INS), and area under the INS curve were evidently reversed, and the serum inflammatory factors levels including human interleukin (IL)-18, IL-16, IL-1β, IL-8, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, and human leukocyte differentiation antigen CD40 ligand were greatly reduced.ConclusionBHHD has a good therapeutic effect on PCOS, and its mechanisms may be related to regulating hormone levels, improving insulin resistance, alleviating inflammation, and promoting pregnancy.
