Elevated hsa-miR-590-3p expression down-regulates HMGB2 expression and contributes to the severity of IgA nephropathy.

ABSTRACT: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Our study aimed to provide a deep understanding of IgAN and focused on the dysregulation of hsa-miR-590-3p and its target gene HMGB2 in PBMCs. Three gene expression profile datasets (GSE14795, GSE73953 and GSE25590) were downloaded from the GEO database. The DEGs (differentially expressed genes)-miRNA network that was associated with IgAN was constructed by Cytoscape, and HMGB2 and hsa-miR-590-3p were selected for further exploration. The dual-luciferase reporter system was utilized to verify their interaction. Then, the expression levels of HMGB2 and hsa-miR-590-3p in PBMCs were detected by qPCR in another cohort, and the correlation of their expression levels with the clinical pathological manifestations and serum Gd-IgA1(galactose-deficient IgA1) levels was also investigated. HMGB2 was identified as the target gene of hsa-miR-590-3p. Furtherly, the elderly patients had higher HMGB2 expression levels than the expression levels of the younger patients. As the serum creatinine, serum BUN levels increased, the expression of HMGB2 decreased; Besides, the HMGB2 expression was positively correlated with serum complement 3(C3) levels, and it also had a negative correlation with the diastolic blood pressure, but not reach statistical significance. What is more, both hsa-miR-590-3p and HMGB2 expression had a slight correlation tendency with serum Gd-IgA1 levels in the whole population. In conclusion, HMGB2, the target gene of hsa-miR-590-3p, was identified to correlate with the severity of IgAN, and this provides more clues for the pathogenesis of IgAN.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) between Lynch syndrome (LS) and the normal colonic (N-C) control samples, predict the target genes (TGs) and analyze the potential functions of the DEMs and TGs. The miRNA expression dataset GSE30454, which included data of 13 LS and 20 N-C tissue samples, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. The classical t-test in Linear Models for Microarray Data package was used for DEM identification. TG prediction was performed using 5 databases. The regulatory network of the DEMs and their TGs was constructed using Cytoscape. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis was performed. The transcription factors (TFs), tumor-associated genes (TAG) and tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) were then identified. Three key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p were identified. Hsa-miR-520e and hsa-miR-137 had 4 common TGs, including SNF related kinase, metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), round spermatid basic protein 1 and YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-137 had 14 common TGs, including NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1), EPH receptor A7, and stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-520e had 12 common TGs, including Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 13, twinfilin actin binding protein 1, and nuclear factor I B. Through the functional and pathway enrichments analysis, MTF1 was involved in regulation of gene expression and metabolic processes, and sequence-specific DNA binding TF activity. KLF13 was involved in regulation of gene expression and regulation of cellular metabolic processes. NCK1 was enriched in the axon guidance pathway. In addition, the functional and pathway enrichment analysis showed certain TGs, such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, AKT serine/threonine kinase 2, and rapamycin-insensitive companion of mammalian target of rapamycin, participated in the mTOR signaling pathway. The 3 key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p may have important roles in the process of LS.
