Inhibition of microRNA-128-3p alleviates liver ischaemia-reperfusion injury in mice through repressing the Rnd3/NF-?B axis.

ABSTRACT: Although liver ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains the primary underlying reason for liver transplant failure or post-transplantation liver dysfunction, the underlying mechanism is still largely elusive. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation. Here, we identified that the miR-128-3p/Rho family GTPase 3 (Rnd3)/NF-?B axis might play a critical role in liver I/R injury. Our results demonstrated that the level of miR-128-3p was negatively correlated with the Rnd3 level during liver I/R. Dual luciferase reporter assay results proved that Rnd3 mRNA was a direct target of miR-128-3p. Additionally, Western blotting and quantitative RT-PCR analyses revealed that knock-down of miR-128-3p could up-regulate Rnd3 mRNA and protein levels, thereby suppressing the NF-?B pathway through down-regulating NF-?B p65. Consequently, the serum levels of NF-?B-associated inflammatory factors and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase were decreased. Moreover, overexpression of Rnd3 could reverse the activation of NF-?B caused by miR-128-3p agomir during liver I/R injury. Overall, our study results suggest that repression of miR-128-3p can alleviate liver I/R injury through the miR-128-3p/Rnd3/NF-?B axis and may facilitate the development of novel protective approaches against liver I/R injury.

Project description:Long non‑coding RNA forkhead box D3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3‑AS1) functions as an oncogenic regulator in several types of cancer, including breast cancer, glioma and cervical cancer. However, the effects and mechanisms underlying FOXD3‑AS1 in cervical cancer (CC) are not completely understood. The present study aimed to investigate the biological functions and potential molecular mechanisms underlying FOXD3‑AS1 in CC progression. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was performed to detect FOXD3‑AS1, microRNA (miR)‑128‑3p and LIM domain kinase 1 (LIMK1) expression levels in CC tissues and cells. Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting were conducted to assess LIMK1 protein expression levels in CC tissues and cells, respectively. Cell Counting Kit‑8 and BrdU assays were used to determine the role of FOXD3‑AS1 in regulating cell proliferation. CC cell migration and invasion were assessed by performing Transwell assays. Dual‑luciferase reporter assays were conducted to verify the binding between miR‑128‑3p and FOXD3‑AS1. FOXD3‑AS1 expression was significantly increased in CC tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent healthy tissues and normal cervical epithelial cells, respectively. High FOXD3‑AS1 expression was significantly associated with poor differentiation of tumor tissues, increased tumor size and positive lymph node metastasis. FOXD3‑AS1 overexpression significantly increased CC cell proliferation, migration and invasion compared with the negative control (NC) group, whereas FOXD3‑AS1 knockdown resulted in the opposite effects compared with the small interfering RNA‑NC group. Moreover, the results demonstrated that FOXD3‑AS1 targeted and negatively regulated miR‑128‑3p, which indirectly upregulated LIMK1 expression. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that FOXD3‑AS1 upregulated LIMK1 expression via competitively sponging miR‑128‑3p in CC cells, promoting CC progression.
