MicroRNA-181b blocks gensenoside Rg3-mediated tumor suppression of gallbladder carcinoma by promoting autophagy flux via CREBRF/CREB3 pathway.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the seventh most common gastrointestinal cancer. Suppression of autophagy contributes to cell death of gallbladder cancer. Gensenoside Rg3 sensitizes tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents through autophagy inhibition. However, its role mechanism on the progression of GBC remains vague. The present study is aimed to explore the functional action of Rg3 on GBC progression. METHODS:Expression of miR-181b and CREBRF in human gallbladder carcinoma specimen were determined by western blotting and qRT-PCR. Biological character of tumor cells were assessed by FACS, CCK8 and xenograft assays, respectively. Dual luciferase assay was employed to explore the targeting site of miR-181b. Autophagy flux was detected by IF staining. RESULTS:MiR-181b expression was increased, while CREBRF expression was reduced in GBC specimens compared to adjacent normal tissues. Based on Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database (408 GBC samples), there was negative correlation between hsa-miR-181b-5p/-3p and CREBRF which was a direct targeting of miR-181b. miR-181b mimic promoted cell proliferation and autophagy, restrained cell apoptosis by regulating CREBRF/CREB3 pathway. As an anti-tumor agent, gensenoside Rg3 inhibited cell proliferation and tumor growth, while promoted cell apoptosis by inhibiting autophagy. However, exogenous miR-181b blunted Rg3-evoked anti-tumor effect possibly by inhibiting CREBRF/CREB pathway. CONCLUSION:Collectively, these data indicates that miR-181b possibly mediates the pathologic progression of GBC by CREBRF/CREB3 signaling pathways and impairs anti-tumor effects of Rg3 on GBC development, which suggests that miR-181b might be an key switch in the process of Rg3-mediated tumor cytotoxicity in the progression of GBC.

Project description:BackgroundIt is confirmed that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) transplantation effectively relieves kidney fibrosis and type 2 diabetes disease in mice. Currently, exosome from urine-derived stem cells (USCs) can protect type 1 diabetes-mediated kidney injury and attenuate podocyte damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Exosome derived from USCs has evolved into the strategy for DN treatment, but the role of ADSCs-derived exosome (ADSCs-Exo) in DN remains unclear. The present study is aimed to investigate the therapeutic action and molecular mechanism of ADSCs-derived exosome on DN.MethodsADSCs and exosome were authenticated by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Morphology and the number of exosome were evaluated by electron microscope and Nanosight Tracking Analysis (NTA), respectively. Cell apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry. Podocyte autophagy and signaling transduction were measured by immunofluorescence and immunoblotting. Dual Luciferase Reporter assay was employed to detect the regulatory relationship between miR-486 and Smad1.ResultsADSCs-Exo attenuated spontaneous diabetes by reducing levels of urine protein, serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and podocyte apoptosis in mice. In in vitro experiment, ADSCs-Exo also reversed high glucose-induced decrease of cell viability and the increase of cell apoptosis in MPC5 cells. In terms of mechanism, ADSCs-Exo could enhance autophagy flux and reduce podocyte injury by inhibiting the activation of mTOR signaling in MPC5 and spontaneous diabetic mice. Eventually, we found that miR-486 was the key factors in ADSCs and in the process of ADSCs-Exo-mediated improvement of DN symptom in vivo and in vitro. miR-486 reduced Smad1 expression by target regulating Smad1 whose reduction could inhibit mTOR activation, leading to the increase of autophagy and the reduction of podocyte apoptosis.ConclusionsIn conclusion, we illustrated that ADSCs-Exo vividly ameliorated DN symptom by enhancing the expression of miR-486 which led to the inhibition of Smad1/mTOR signaling pathway in podocyte. Possibly, ADSCs-Exo was used as a main therapeutic strategy for DN in future.
