Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosome-mediated microRNA-342-5p protects endothelial cells against atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Exosomes are reported to mediate several disease-related microRNAs (miRNAs) to affect the progression of diseases, including atherosclerosis. Here, we aimed to screen the atherosclerosis-associated miRNAs and preliminarily investigate the potential regulatory mechanism of atherosclerosis. First, the lesion model for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was favorably constructed. Later, through RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics analyses, miR-342-5p was identified in lesion model for HUVECs. MiR-342-5p overexpression or knockdown evidently promoted or inhibited the apoptosis of HUVECs impaired by H2O2. Mechanistically, PPP1R12B was found to have great potential as a target of miR-342-5p in HUVECs impaired by H2O2, supported by RNA-sequencing and a series of bioinformatics analyses. Meanwhile, the effect of miR-342-5p on PPP1R12B expression in HUVECs' lesion model was explored, revealing that miR-342-5p had an inhibitory role in PPP1R12B expression. Additionally, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in spindle-like shape and their derived exosomes with 30 to 150 nm diameter were characterized. Furthermore, results showed miR-342-5p was evidently decreased in the presence of ADSCs-derived exosomes. These findings indicated ADSCs-derived exosomes restrained the expression of miR-324-5p in lesion model. Collectively, this work demonstrates an atherosclerosis-associated miR-342-5p and reveals a preliminary possible mechanism in which miR-342-5p mediated by ADSCs-derived exosomes protects endothelial cells against atherosclerosis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in cartilage development and homeostasis in osteoarthritis (OA). While the fundamental roles of miRNAs in cartilage degeneration have been extensively studied, their effects on chondrogenic differentiation induced by human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) and the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we investigated the roles and mechanisms of miRNAs in hADSC chondrogenic differentiation and chondrocyte homeostasis. Using microarray analysis, we screened miRNAs expressed in the chondrogenic differentiated hADSCs and identified miR-490-5p as the most significantly down-regulated miRNA. We analyzed its expression patterns during chondrogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Our study showed that miR-490-5p overexpression promoted the transition of hADSCs from chondrogenesis to osteogenesis. In addition, based on miRNA-mRNA prediction analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay, we proposed and proved that miR-490-5p targeted PITPNM1 by binding to its 3'-UTR and inhibiting its translation. Moreover, loss- and gain-of-function experiments identified the involvement of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and a rescue experiment determined the effect and specific mechanism of the miR-490-5p/PITPNM1/PI3K/AKT axis in hADSC chondrogenic differentiation and chondrocyte homeostasis. Inhibition of miR-490-5p alleviated cartilage injury in vivo as demonstrated using the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) OA model. We identified miR-490-5p as a novel modulator of hADSC-mediated chondrogenesis and chondrocyte phenotype. This study highlighted that miR-490-5p attenuated hADSC chondrogenesis and accelerated cartilage degradation through activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by targeting PITPNM1. Inhibition of miR-490-5p facilitated hADSC chondrogenic differentiation and protected chondrocyte phenotype via the PITPNM1/PI3K/AKT axis, thus providing a novel stem cell potential therapeutic target for OA treatment.
