Micro-Ribonucleic Acid-216a Regulates Bovine Primary Muscle Cells Proliferation and Differentiation via Targeting SMAD Nuclear Interacting Protein-1 and Smad7.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), belonging to a class of evolutionarily conserved small noncoding RNA of ?22 nucleotides, are widely involved in skeletal muscle growth and development by regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. While the expression feature and underlying function of miR-216a in mammal skeletal muscle development, especially in cattle, remains to be further elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the function and mechanism of miR-216a during bovine primary muscle cells proliferation and differentiation. Herein, we found that the expression level of miR-216a both presented a downward trend during the proliferation and differentiation phases, which suggested that it might have a potential role in the development of bovine skeletal muscle. Functionally, during the cells proliferation phase, overexpression of miR-216a inhibited the expression of proliferation-related genes, reduced the cell proliferation status, and resulted in cells G1 phase arrest. In cells differentiation stages, overexpression of miR-216a suppressed myogenic maker genes mRNA, protein, and myotube formation. Mechanistically, we found that SNIP1 and smad7 were the directly targets of miR-216a in regulating bovine primary muscle cells proliferation and differentiation, respectively. Altogether, these findings suggested that miR-216a functions as a suppressive miRNA in development of bovine primary muscle cells via targeting SNIP1 and smad7.

Project description:Background: The endothelium is the first line of defence against harmful microenvironment risks, and microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in vascular inflammation may be promising therapeutic targets to modulate atherosclerosis progression. In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism by which microRNA-216a (miR-216a) modulated inflammation activation of endothelial cells. Methods. A replicative senescence model of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was established, and population-doubling levels (PDLs) were defined during passages. PDL8 HUVECs were transfected with miR-216a mimics/inhibitor or small interfering RNA (siRNA) of SMAD family member 7 (Smad7). Real-time PCR and Western blot assays were performed to detect the regulatory role of miR-216a on Smad7 and NF-?B inhibitor alpha (I?B?) expression. The effect of miR-216a on adhesive capability of HUVECs to THP-1 cells was examined. MiR-216a and Smad7 expression in vivo were measured using human carotid atherosclerotic plaques of the patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy (n = 41).Results: Luciferase assays showed that Smad7 was a direct target of miR-216a. Smad7 mRNA expression, negatively correlated with miR-216a during endothelial aging, was downregulated in senescent PDL44 cells, compared with young PDL8 HUVECs. MiR-216a markedly increased endothelial inflammation and adhesive capability to monocytes in PDL8 cells by promoting the phosphorylation and degradation of I?B? and then activating NF-?B signalling pathway. The effect of miR-216a on endothelial cells was consistent with that blocked Smad7 by siRNAs. When inhibiting endogenous miR-216a, the Smad7/I?B? expression was rescued, which led to decreased endothelial inflammation and monocytes recruitment. In human carotid atherosclerotic plaques, Smad7 level was remarkably decreased in high miR-216a group compared with low miR-216a group. Moreover, miR-216a was negatively correlated with Smad7 and I?B? levels and positively correlated with interleukin 1 beta (IL1?) expression in vivo.Conclusion: In summary, our findings suggest a new mechanism of vascular endothelial inflammation involving Smad7/I?B? signalling pathway in atherosclerosis.

Project description:The present study evaluated the effects of strontium (Sr) on proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes isolated from dairy cows, and whether Sr exerts its effects via transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling. The chondrocytes were isolated from patellar cartilage from newborn Holstein bull calves (n = 3, 1 day old, 38.0 ± 2.8 kg, fasting) within 15 min after euthanasia, and treated with different concentrations of Sr (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg/ml, as SrCl2·6H2O). After pretreatment with or without activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) inhibitor (10 μM SB-505124) for 4 h, chondrocytes were incubated with Sr for another 4 h. Overall effects of Sr were evaluated relative to NaCl as the control. In contrast, the 1 μg/ml Sr-treated group served as the control to determine effects of preincubating with SB-505124. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used for measuring expression of proliferation-, differentiation-, and TGFβ1-responsive factors. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA in GraphPad Prism 7.0. Incubation with all doses of Sr increased TGFβ1/ALK5-induced SMAD3 phosphorylation, and at 10 μg/ml it inhibited ALK1-induced SMAD1/5/9 phosphorylation. Expression of mRNA and protein of the proliferation-responsive factors type Ⅱ Collagen α1 (COL2A1) and aggrecan (ACAN) was induced by Sr at 1 μg/ml. In contrast, Sr at 10 μg/ml inhibited the expression of differentiation-responsive factors type Ⅹ Collagen α1 (COL10A1) and secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), and at 1 μg/ml it had the same effect on alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) mRNA and protein levels. Cells were stained with PI/RNase Staining buffer to assess cell cycle activity using flow-cytometry. Incubation with Sr at 1 and 10 μg/ml induced an increase in the number of cells in the S-phase, leading to an increase in the proliferation index. Incubation with SB-505124 inhibited phosphorylation of SMAD3. Abundance of ACAN and COL2A1 mRNA and protein was lower when cells were pre-incubated with SB-505124. Overall, data indicated that Sr promotes proliferation and inhibits differentiation of primary chondrocytes by directing TGFβ1 signaling towards SMAD3 phosphorylation rather than SMAD1/5/9 phosphorylation. Whether these effects occur in vivo remains to be determined and could impact future application of Sr as an experimental tool in livestock.
