Inhibition of microRNA-221-5p induces osteogenic differentiation by directly targeting smad3 in myeloma bone disease mesenchymal stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Myeloma bone disease (MBD) is one of the clinical features of multiple myeloma, which contributes to the attenuation of osteoblast function. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exhibit a high potential for differentiation into osteoblasts. A number of studies have reported that microRNAs (miRs) serve a vital role in mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) osteogenesis; however, the role of miR-221-5p in the osteogenic differentiation of MBD-MSCs remains unclear. The present study revealed that the osteogenic differentiation capacity of MBD-MSCs was reduced compared with that of normal (N)-MSCs. Further experiments demonstrated that miR-221-5p expression was downregulated in N-MSCs following osteoblast induction while no obvious alterations in expression levels were observed in MBD-MSCs. The inhibition of miR-221-5p promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MBD-MSCs. Bioinformatics, luciferase reporter assays, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting assays indicated that smad family member 3 (smad3) was a direct target of miR-221-5p in MBD-MSCs. A negative association was identified between the expression levels of smad3 and miR-221-5p. Investigations of the molecular mechanism indicated that suppressed miR-221-5p could regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MBD-MSCs by upregulating smad3 expression. It was also identified that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was activated following miR-221-5p inhibition, and this increased the osteogenic differentiation capacity of MBD-MSCs. The present study may improve the understanding regarding the role of miR-221-5p in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation, and may contribute to the development of a novel therapy for MBD.

Project description:Background and purposeTrauma-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (TIONFH) is a major complication of femoral neck fractures. Degeneration and necrosis of subchondral bone can cause collapse, which results in hip joint dysfunction in patients. The destruction of bone metabolism homeostasis is an important factor for osteonecrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have an important role in regulating osteogenic differentiation, but the mechanisms underlying abnormal bone metabolism of TIONFH are poorly understood. In this study, we screened specific miRNAs in TIONFH by microarray and further explored the mechanism of osteogenic differentiation.DesignBlood samples from patients with TIONFH and patients without necrosis after trauma were compared by microarray, and bone collapse of necrotic bone tissue was evaluated by micro-CT and immunohistochemistry. To confirm the relationship between miRNA and osteogenic differentiation, we conducted cell culture experiments. We found that many miRNAs were significantly different, including miR-93-5p; the increase in this miRNA was verified by Q-PCR. Comparison of the tissue samples showed that miR-93-5p expression increased, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteopontin (OPN) levels decreased, suggesting miR-93-5p may be involved in osteogenic differentiation. Further bioinformatics analysis indicated that miR-93-5p can target bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2). A luciferase gene reporter assay was performed to confirm these findings. By simulating and/or inhibiting miR-93-5p expression in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, we confirmed that osteogenic differentiation-related indictors, including BMP-2, Osterix, Runt-related transcription factor, ALP and OPN, were decreased by miR-93-5p.ConclusionOur study showed that increased miR-93-5p in TIONFH patients inhibited osteogenic differentiation, which may be associated with BMP-2 reduction. Therefore, miR-93-5p may be a potential target for prevention of TIONFH.

Project description:Glioma accounts for the majority of primary malignant brain tumors in adults and is highly aggressive. Although various therapeutic approaches have been applied, outcomes of glioma treatment remain poor. Acquiring a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms is essential to the design of effective therapeutic strategies. Previous studies have found that miR-520d-5p was negatively correlated with glioma grade, but its role and mechanism in glioma progression remain largely unknown. In the present study, we reported that miR-520d-5p directly targeted the Pituitary Tumor Transforming Gene 1 (PTTG1) and functioned as a tumor-suppressor in glioma. The expression of miR-520d-5p in glioma cells and specimens were detected by Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The effects of miR-520d-5p on glioma progression was examined by cell-counting kit 8, colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EDU) and flow cytometry assays. Using bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays, we identified PTTG1 as a novel and direct target of miR-520d-3p. A xenograft model was used to study the effect of miR-520d-5p on tumor growth and angiogenesis. We found that miR-520d-5p expression was significantly decreased in glioma cell lines and tissues. Overexpression of miR-520d-5p showed a significant inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and accompanied cell cycle G0/G1 arrest in U87-MG and LN229 glioma cells. PTTG1 was a novel and direct target of miR-520d-5p, and the protein expression of PTTG1 was markedly reduced after overexpression of miR-520d-5p in U87-MG and LN229 cells. Overexpression of PTTG1 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-520d-5p on glioma cell proliferation. In vivo studies confirmed that miR-520d-5p overexpression retarded the growth of U87 xenograft tumors, which was accompanied by reduced expression of PTTG1. In conclusion, these results provide compelling evidence that miR-520d-5p functions as an anti-onco-miRNA, which is important in inhibiting cell proliferation in GBM, and its anti-oncogenic effects are mediated chiefly through direct suppression of PTTG1 expression. Therefore, we suggest that miR-520d-5p is a potential candidate for the prevention of glioblastoma.

Project description:ObjectiveOsteogenesis is the key process of bone homeostasis differentiation. Numerous studies have manifested that circular RNA (circRNA) is a critical regulator of osteogenesis. The research was to explore circRNA-mediated mechanisms in osteogenesis.MethodsBone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultured and induced to osteogenic differentiation (OD). Then, oe-circ-FKBP5, oe-NC, si-circ-FKBP5, si-NC, miR-205-5p mimic, mimic NC, miR-205-5p inhibitor, inhibitor NC, sh-RUNX2, or sh-NC were transfected into BMSCs. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected by ALP staining, cell mineralization was detected by alizarin red staining, cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Then, the expression of circ-FKBP5, miR-205-5p, RUNX2 and osteogenic marker genes was detected by RT-qPCR, and the expression of RUNX2 protein was detected by Western blot. Finally, the targeting relationship between miR-205-5p and circ-FKBP5 or RUNX2 was verified by bioinformation website analysis and dual luciferase reporter gene detection.ResultsCirc-FK501 binding protein 51 (FKBP5) was distinctly elevated during OD of BMSCs. Elevated circ-FKBP5 boosted the proliferation and OD, as well as expression of osteogenic marker genes while reduced apoptosis of BMSCs. Down-regulation of circ-FKBP5 inhibited BMSCs proliferation, OD and osteogenic marker gene expression, and promoted apoptosis of BMSCs. Subsequently, circ-FKBP5 combined with miR-205-5p and constrained miR-205-5p expression. Silenced miR-205-5p boosted proliferation, OD, and expression of osteogenic marker genes and suppressed apoptosis of BMSCs. However, up-regulation of miR-205-5p inhibited BMSC proliferation, OD and osteogenic marker gene expression, and promoted apoptosis. Additionally, miR-205-5p targeted Runt-associated transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). Repression of RUNX2 turned around the effect of circ-FKBP5 overexpression on BMSCs.ConclusionIn brief, circ-FKBP5 boosted BMSC proliferation and OD by mediating the miR-205-5p/RUNX2 axis.
