Signaling Modulations of miR-206-3p in Tooth Morphogenesis.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of naturally occurring small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in organisms. Most mammalian miRNAs influence biological processes, including developmental changes, tissue morphogenesis and the maintenance of tissue identity, cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism. The miR-206-3p has been correlated with cancer; however, developmental roles of this miRNA are unclear. In this study, we examined the expression pattern and evaluated the developmental regulation of miR-206-3p during tooth morphogenesis using ex-vivo culture method. The expression pattern of miR-206-3p was examined in the epithelium and mesenchyme of developing tooth germ with stage-specific manners. Perturbation of the expression of miR-206-3p clearly altered expression patterns of dental-development-related signaling molecules, including Axin2, Bmp2, Fgf4, Lef1 and Shh. The gene expression complemented with change in cellular events including, apoptosis and proliferation which caused altered crown and pulp morphogenesis in renal-capsule-calcified teeth. Especially, mislocalization of ?-Catenin and SMAD1/5/8 were observed alongside dramatic alterations in the expression patterns of Fgf4 and Shh. Overall, our data suggest that the miR-206-3p regulate the cellular physiology during tooth morphogenesis through modulation of the Wnt, Bmp, Fgf, and Shh signaling pathways to form proper tooth pulp and crown.

Project description:Growth disorders in the orofacial bone development process may lead to orofacial deformities. The balance between bone matrix formation by mesenchymal lineage osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts is vital for orofacial bone development. Although the mechanisms of orofacial mesenchymal stem cells (OMSCs) in orofacial bone development have been studied intensively, the communication between OMSCs and osteoclasts remains largely unclear. Methods: We used a neural crest cell-specific knockout mouse model to investigate orofacial bone development in GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4) morphants. We investigated the underlying mechanisms of OMSCs-derived exosomes (OMExos) on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption activity in vitro. miRNAs were extracted from OMExos, and differences in miRNA abundances were determined using an Affymetrix miRNA array. Luciferase reporter assays were used to validate the binding between GATA4 and miR-206-3p in OMSCs and to confirm the putative binding of miR-206-3p and its target genes in OMSCs and osteoclasts. The regulatory mechanism of the GATA4-miR-206-3p axis in OMSC osteogenic differentiation and osteoclastogenesis was examined in vitro and in vivo. Results: Wnt1-Cre;Gata4fl/fl mice (cKO) not only presented inhibited bone formation but also showed active bone resorption. Osteoclasts cocultured in vitro with cKO OMSCs presented an increased capacity for osteoclastogenesis, which was exosome-dependent. Affymetrix miRNA array analysis showed that miR-206-3p was downregulated in exosomes from shGATA4 OMSCs. Moreover, the transcriptional activity of miR-206-3p was directly regulated by GATA4 in OMSCs. We further demonstrated that miR-206-3p played a key role in the regulation of orofacial bone development by directly targeting bone morphogenetic protein-3 (Bmp3) and nuclear factor of activated T -cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). OMExos and agomiR-206-3p enhanced bone mass in Wnt1-cre;Gata4fl/fl mice by augmenting trabecular bone structure and decreasing osteoclast numbers. Conclusion: Our findings confirm that miR-206-3p is an important downstream factor of GATA4 that regulates the functions of OMSCs and osteoclasts. These results demonstrate the efficiency of OMExos and microRNA agomirs in promoting bone regeneration, which provide an ideal therapeutic tool for orofacial bone deformities in the future.
