Recombinant adenovirus (AdEasy system) mediated exogenous expression of long non-coding RNA H19 (lncRNA H19) biphasic regulating osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

ABSTRACT:

Background

We previously constructed AdEasy system for rapid generation of recombinant adenovirus expressing coding genes. However, it is unclear if AdEasy system could be used for exogenously expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Here we investigated how to overexpress lncRNA H19 with AdEasy system and identified the effect of overexpression H19 on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) osteogenic differentiation.

Methods

H19 fragment 1 and H19 fragment 2 were amplified from mouse genomic DNA separately and then connected for full-length H19. H19 was firstly subcloned to homemade pMOK plasmid, then H19 was cut off from pMOK-H19 and subcloned to recombinant adenovirus plasmid. After homologous recombination in AdEasier cells (BJ5183 cell), packing in mammalian packaging cell line and amplification in 293pTP cells, high titer AdH19 was obtained. Immortalized mouse adipose-derived progenitors (iMADs) were infected by AdH19 with different infection rate, the expression of H19, H19 related microRNAs (miRs) and osteogenic differentiation markers were determined by TqPCR. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and matrix mineralization were determined by ALP assays and Alizarin red S staining respectively.

Results

AdEasy system was suitable for rapid generation and production of H19, AdH19 can effectively overexpress H19 and serve as functional lncRNA in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Higher dosage of AdH19 inhibited osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, however, lower dosage of AdH19 promoted osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.

Conclusions

We firstly reported the method for the generation of functional lncRNA with AdEasy system, and identified the biphasic effect of H19 on MSCs osteogenic differentiation.

Project description:ObjectiveAcute lung injury (ALI) increases sepsis morbidity and mortality. LncRNA H19 plays a critical role in sepsis. miR-107 is highly-expressed and TGFβ type III receptor (TGFBR3) is poorly-expressed in sepsis, yet their roles in sepsis development require further investigation. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of H19 in alleviating sepsis-induced ALI through the miR-107/TGFBR3 axis.MethodsMice were intravenously injected with Ad-H19 adenovirus vector or control vector one week before establishing the mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) were transfected with oe-H19 or oe-NC plasmids and then stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Lung injury was assessed via hematoxylin-eosin staining, measurement of wet-to-dry (W/D) ratio, and TUNEL staining. Levels of H19, miR-107, and TGFBR3 were determined by RT-qPCR. Apoptosis of PMVECs was evaluated by flow cytometry. Levels of Bax and Bcl-2 in lung tissues and PMVECs were measured using Western blot. Total protein concentration and the number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were quantified. Levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 in BALF, lung tissues, and PMVECs were measured by ELISA. Cross-linking relationships among H19, miR-107 and TGFBR3 were verified by dual-luciferase and RIP assays.ResultsH19 was poorly-expressed in CLP-operated mice. H19 overexpression attenuated sepsis-induced ALI, which was manifested with complete alveolar structure, decreased lung injury score and lung W/D ratio, and inhibited apoptosis in CLP-operated mice, which was manifested with decreased number of TUNEL-positive cells and Bax level and increased Bcl-2 level. CLP-operated mice had increased concentration of total protein and number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in BALF, which was nullified by H19 overexpression. H19 overexpression declined levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and elevated IL-10 levels. H19 inhibited LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. H19 targeted TGFBR3 as the ceRNA of miR-107. miR-107 overexpression or silencing TGFBR3 partially averted the inhibition of H19 overexpression on LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production.ConclusionLncRNA H19 inhibited LPS-induced PMVEC apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production and attenuated sepsis-induced ALI by targeting TGFBR3 as the ceRNA of miR-107.
