The interaction between 30b-5p miRNA and MBNL1 mRNA is involved in vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial wall have diverse functions. In pathological states, the interplay between transcripts and microRNAs (miRNAs) leads to phenotypic changes. Understanding the regulatory role of miRNAs and their target genes may reveal how VSMCs modulate the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. Laser capture microdissection was performed on aortic wall tissues obtained from coronary artery bypass graft patients with and without recent acute myocardial infarction (MI). The mSMRT-qPCR miRNA assay platform (MiRXES, Singapore) was used to profile miRNA. The miRNA data were co-analyzed with significant mRNA transcripts. TargetScan 7.1 was applied to evaluate miRNA-mRNA interactions. The miRNA profiles of 29 patients (16 MI and 13 non-MI) were evaluated. Thirteen VSMC-related miRNAs were differentially expressed between the MI and non-MI groups. Analysis revealed seven miRNA-targeted mRNAs related to muscular tissue differentiation and proliferation. TargetScan revealed that among the VSMC-related transcripts, MBNL1 had a recognition site that matched the hsa-miR-30b-5p target seed sequence. In addition to predicted analysis, our experiment in vitro with human VSMC culture confirmed that hsa-miR-30b-5p negatively correlated with MBNL1. Our data showed that overexpression of hsa-miR-30b-5p led to downregulation of MBNL1 in VSMCs. This process influences VSMC proliferation and might be involved in VSMC differentiation.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in tuberculosis (TB). Vitamin D receptor (VDR), an miRNA target gene, and its ligand, vitamin D3 (VitD3), have been reported to exert protective effects against TB. However, whether miRNAs can affect the progression of TB by targeting VDR has not been reported.Materials and methodsResearch subjects were selected according to defined inclusion criteria. A clinical database of 360 samples was established, including the subjects' demographic information, miRNA expression profiles and cellular experimental results. Two candidate miRNAs, miR-27a-3p, and miR-30b-5p, were identified by a high-throughput sequencing screen and validated by qRT-PCR assays. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed. VDR and NF-kB p65 protein levels were detected by Western blot assays. Proinflammatory cytokine expression levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Luciferase assays and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) were further applied to elucidate the detailed mechanisms.ResultsDifferential miRNA expression profiles were obtained, and miR-27a-3p and miR-30b-5p were highly expressed in patients with TB. These results showed that the two miRNAs were able to induce M1 macrophage differentiation and inhibit M2 macrophage differentiation. Further experiments showed that the two miRNAs decreased the VDR protein level and increased proinflammatory cytokine secretion by macrophages. Mechanistically, the miRNAs targeted the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the VDR mRNA and thereby downregulated VDR protein levels by post-transcriptional regulation. Then, due to the reduction in VDR protein levels, the NF-kB inflammatory cytokine signaling pathway was activated, thus promoting the progression of TB.ConclusionOur study not only identified differentially expressed miRNAs between the TB and control groups but also revealed that miR-27a-3p and miR-30b-5p regulate proinflammatory cytokine secretion and macrophage differentiation through VDR in macrophages. Thus, these two miRNAs influence the progression of TB.
