Potential role of miR-155-5p in fat deposition and skeletal muscle development of chicken.

ABSTRACT: miR-155 has multiple functions in many physiological and pathological processes. However, little is known about the expression characteristics of avian miR-155. In the present study, partial pri-miR-155 sequences were cloned from AA+ broiler, Sanhuang broiler and Hy-Line Brown layer, respectively. Stem-loop qRT-PCR was performed to detect the miR-155-5p spatiotemporal expression profiles of each chicken breed, and the target genes of miR-155-5p were predicted in Gene Oncology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. The results showed that the partial pri-miR-155 sequences of different breeds of chicken were high conserved. The expression patterns of miR-155-5p between broiler and layer were basically similar, and miR-155-5p was expressed highly in immune related tissues (spleen, thymus and bursa). In the same old chicken (14 days old), miR-155-5p expression activity of fat tissue all had higher level in the three chicken breeds, but the expression activities in skeletal muscle of broilers were significantly lower than that of layer (P<0.05). In different development stages of Hy-Line Brown layer, miR-155-5p expression activities in skeletal muscle of 14-day-old and 10-month-old layers were significantly lower than that of 24-month-old layer (P<0.05). Fat related target genes (ACOX1, ACOT7, FADS1, SCD and HSD17B12) and skeletal muscle related target genes (CCNT2, DMD, CFL2, MAPK14, FLNB, ZBTB18 and CDK5) of miR-155-5p were predicted, respectively. The results indicate that miR-155-5p may be an important factor inhibiting the fat deposition and skeletal muscle development in chicken.

Project description:Introduction: Acute graft vs. host disease (aGvHD) is a frequent complication following allogeneic haematopoeitic transplantation (HSCT). Despite recent advances, there are no universally accepted biomarkers to determine development of aGvHD. MicroRNAs miR-146a and miR-155 have been previously associated with aGvHD and show promise as clinically translatable biomarkers. In this study, we performed comprehensive expression profiling of miR-146a, miR-155, and miR-155* expression in aGvHD target tissue and biofluids and relate expression to post-HSCT outcomes. Materials and Methods: MicroRNA expression was assessed by qRT-PCR in gastrointestinal (n = 31) and skin (n = 31) biopsies as well as serum (exploratory cohort n = 34, verification cohort n = 81, diagnostic cohort n = 65) and urine (exploratory cohort n = 30, verification cohort n = 56, diagnostic cohort n = 20) biofluids, including extracellular vesicle (EV) cohorts (serum EV n = 15, urine EV n = 30). Expression was related to aGvHD incidence, severity and overall survival. Results: In GI samples, expression of miR-155 (p = 0.03) and miR-146a (p = 0.03) was higher at aGvHD onset compared to patients with no GvHD. In skin biopsies, expression of miR-155 (p = 0.004) was upregulated in aGvHD patients compared to normal control skin. Expression of miR-146a was higher in aGvHD compared to no aGvHD biopsies (p = 0.002). In serum, miR-155 (p = 0.03) and miR-146a (p = 0.02) expression was higher at day 14 (D14), while in urine expression was elevated at D7 post-HSCT in patients who developed aGvHD compared to those disease-free. This was verified in an independent serum (miR-155 p = 0.005, miR-146a p = 0.003) and urine (miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.04) cohort, where both microRNAs were also associated with aGvHD by ROC analysis. In serum and urine samples taken at the time of aGvHD symptoms, expression of miR-155 and miR-146a was also elevated (serum miR-155 p = 0.03, miR-146a p < 0.001; urine miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.02). In contrast, miR-146a and miR-155 were downregulated at D14 in serum EVs and at D7 in urine EVs in patients who developed aGvHD compared to those that remained disease-free, in both an exploratory (serum miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.06; urine miR-155 p = 0.02, miR-146a p = 0.07) and an independent cohort (serum miR-155 p = 0.01, miR-146a p = 0.02). Conclusions: These results further support a role for miR-155 and miR-146a as non-invasive, clinically relevant biomarkers for aGvHD. However, the link between their involvement in generalized inflammation and in specific pathophysiology requires further investigation at a systemic level.

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a cardiovascular disease that has high incidence and causes massive deaths. miR-155-5p/PYGL pathway was revealed to play a crucial role in PAH by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The potential mechanism of miR-155-5p in regulating hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) function was analyzed through in vitro experiments. Hypoxia treatment stimulated the proliferation of PASMCs and increased the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). At the same time, revealed by qRT-PCR and western blot, the level of miR-155-5p was raised, and the level of PYGL was decreased in hypoxia-induced PASMCs. Through CCK-8 assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry, it was revealed that miR-155-5p inhibitor remarkably inhibited the cell proliferation and migration and decreased the proportion of hypoxia-stimulated PASMCs in S and G2/M phases. Dual-luciferase reporter system was subsequently applied to validate the straight regulation of miR-155-5p on PYGL based on the analysis of online database. Furthermore, siPYGL was revealed to reverse the influence of miR-155-5p inhibitor on hypoxia-induced PASMCs. These outcomes indicate that the increased level of miR-155-5p in hypoxia-stimulated PASMCs could enhance the cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell cycle progression by targeting PYGL directly. This study may supply novel treatment strategies for PAH.Abbreviations: PH, pulmonary hypertension; PAH, pulmonary arterial hypertension; WGCNA, weighted gene co-expression network analysis; PASMCs, pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; HIF-1α, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α; SMCs, smooth muscle cells; DEGs, differentially expressed genes; GEO, Gene Expression Omnibus; GO, Gene Ontology; KEGG, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes; FBS, fetal bovine serum; OD, optical density; BCA, bicinchoninic acid; PVDF, polyvinylidene fluoride; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; BP, biological process; MF, molecular function; CC, cell component.
