MicroRNA-345-5p regulates depression by targeting suppressor of cytokine signaling 1.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

MicroRNA(miR)-345-5p plays a key role in various cellular functions. However, the function of miR-345-5p in resistant depression (TRD) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role and mechanism of miR-345-5p in the treatment of resistance depression (TRD).

Methods

RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-345-5p in BV-2 microglia. CCK-8 method and flow cytometry were used for cell viability and apoptosis of microglia. Target gene prediction and screening, and luciferase reporter assays were used to verify the downstream target gene of miR-345-5p. Western blot was used to analyze the protein expression of related proteins.

Results

miR-345-5p increased the cell viability of BV-2 microglia and the expression level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, the conditioned medium of microglia treated with miR-345-5p reduced the cell viability of HT22 hippocampal cells and caused S-phase arrest. The miR-345-5p-treated microglia induced apoptosis by regulating the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, pro-caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-3. Furthermore, SOCS1 was a direct target of miR-345-5p, and overexpression of SOCS1 was able to reverse the proapoptotic effect of miR-345-5p on activation of microglia on hippocampal neurons.

Conclusion

miR-345-5p induced inflammatory damage in hippocampal neurons by activating microglia. MiR-345-5p may be an effective target for TRD therapy.

MicroRNA-139-5p acts as a suppressor gene for depression by targeting nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1.

Project description:MicroRNA-139-5p (miR-139-5p) is one of the most differentially expressed miRNAs in the brain between healthy people and depressed patients. However, its function in depression is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the function of miR-139-5p in depression. Here, miR-139-5p expression was found to be upregulated in the model group. MiR-139-5p inhibition could increase sucrose preference and decrease mice immobility time after chronic corticosterone (CORT) injection. Furthermore, compared with the antago-NC group, 3 weeks of antagomiR-139-5p treatment significantly decreased miR-139-5p level in model group hippocampus, increased sucrose preference index, reduced neuron damages, and enhanced the levels of nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1 (NR3C1), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), phosphorylated/total tyrosine kinase receptor B (p-TrkB/TrkB), phosphorylated/total cAMP-response element-binding protein (p-CREB/CREB) and phosphorylated/total extracellular regulated protein kinases (p-ERK/ERK). Moreover, as a potential target for miR-139-5p, NR3C1 level was reduced by miR-139-5p mimic. Altogether, by activating the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway, miR-139-5p inhibition plays an antidepressant-like role and might serve as an effective depression target (Fig. graphical abstract).

MicroRNA MiR-199a-5p regulates smooth muscle cell proliferation and morphology by targeting WNT2 signaling pathway.

Project description:MicroRNA miR-199a-5p impairs tight junction formation, leading to increased urothelial permeability in bladder pain syndrome. Now, using transcriptome analysis in urothelial TEU-2 cells, we implicate it in the regulation of cell cycle, cytoskeleton remodeling, TGF, and WNT signaling pathways. MiR-199a-5p is highly expressed in the smooth muscle layer of the bladder, and we altered its levels in bladder smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to validate the pathway analysis. Inhibition of miR-199a-5p with antimiR increased SMC proliferation, reduced cell size, and up-regulated miR-199a-5p targets, including WNT2. Overexpression of WNT2 protein or treating SMCs with recombinant WNT2 closely mimicked the miR-199a-5p inhibition, whereas down-regulation of WNT2 in antimiR-expressing SMCs with shRNA restored cell phenotype and proliferation rates. Overexpression of miR-199a-5p in the bladder SMCs significantly increased cell size and up-regulated SM22, SM α-actin, and SM myosin heavy chain mRNA and protein levels. These changes as well as increased expression of ACTG2, TGFB1I1, and CDKN1A were mediated by up-regulation of the smooth muscle-specific transcriptional activator myocardin at mRNA and protein levels. Myocardin-related transcription factor A downstream targets Id3 and MYL9 were also induced. Up-regulation of myocardin was accompanied by down-regulation of WNT-dependent inhibitory Krüppel-like transcription factor 4 in miR-199a-5p-overexpressing cells. In contrast, Krüppel-like transcription factor 4 was induced in antimiR-expressing cells following the activation of WNT2 signaling, leading to repression of myocardin-dependent genes. MiR-199a-5p plays a critical role in the WNT2-mediated regulation of proliferative and differentiation processes in the smooth muscle and may behave as a key modulator of smooth muscle hypertrophy, which is relevant for organ remodeling.

microRNA-139-5p exerts tumor suppressor function by targeting NOTCH1 in colorectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundmiR-139-5p was identified to be significantly down-regulated in colon tumor tissues by miRNA array. We aimed to clarify its biological function, molecular mechanisms and direct target gene in colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsThe biological function of miR-139-5p was examined by cell growth, cell cycle and apoptosis analysis in vitro and in vivo. miR-139-5p target gene and signaling pathway was identified by luciferase activity assay and western blot.ResultsmiR-139-5p was significantly down-regulated in primary tumor tissues (P < 0.0001). Ectopic expression of miR-139-5p in colon cancer cell lines significantly suppressed cell growth as evidenced by cell viability assay (P < 0.001) and colony formation assay (P < 0.01) and in xenograft tumor growth in nude mice (P < 0.01). miR-139-5p induced apoptosis (P < 0.01), concomitantly with up-regulation of key apoptosis genes including cleaved caspase-8, caspase-3, caspase-7 and PARP. miR-139-5p also caused cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase (P < 0.01), with upregulation of key G0/G1 phase regulators p21Cip1/Waf1 and p27Kip1. Moreover, miR-139-5p inhibited cellular migration (P < 0.001) and invasiveness (P < 0.001) through the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)7 and MMP9. Oncogene NOTCH1 was revealed to be a putative target of miR-139-5p, which was inversely correlated with miR-139-5p expression (r = -0.3862, P = 0.0002).ConclusionsmiR-139-5p plays a pivotal role in colon cancer through inhibiting cell proliferation, metastasis, and promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by targeting oncogenic NOTCH1.

MicroRNA-17-5p regulates EMT by targeting vimentin in colorectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundEpithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the most common cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we investigated the functional roles of miRNA-17-5p in EMT of CRC cells.MethodsIn order to determine if miRNA-17-5p regulated EMT, the precursors and inhibitors of miR-17-5p were transduced into four CRC cells. To evaluate the regulatory mechanism, we performed argonaute 2 (Ago2) immunoprecipitation (IP) and luciferase assay. In addition, we used an intra-splenic injection mouse model of BALB/c nude mice to investigate the metastatic potential of miRNA-17-5p in vivo.ResultsThe miRNA-17-5p expression was lower in primary CRC tissues with metastasis than in primary CRC tissues without metastasis in our RNA sequencing data of patient tissue. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed that miRNA-17-5p was inversely correlated with that of vimentin in five CRC cell lines. Over-expression of miRNA-17-5p decreased vimentin expression and inhibited cell migration and invasion in both LoVo and HT29 cells. However, inhibition of miRNA-17-5p showed the opposite effect. Ago2 IP and luciferase assay revealed that miRNA-17-5p directly bound to the 3'UTR of VIM mRNA. Furthermore, miRNA-17-5p inhibited the metastasis of CRC into liver in vivo.ConclusionsOur results demonstrated that miRNA-17-5p regulates vimentin expression, thereby regulating metastasis of CRC.

miR-20b-5p functions as tumor suppressor microRNA by targeting cyclinD1 in colon cancer.

Project description:MicroRNA functions as an oncogenic regulator or tumor suppressor in various human tumors. Although bioinformatics analysis suggested that miRNA-20b-5p may be associated with the tumorigenesis, its role in colon cancer remains elusive. To investigate the role of miRNA-20b-5p, HCT116 cell, a human colon cancer cell line used in therapeutic research and drug screenings, was chosen as a model system for our in vitro studies. We first carried out bioinformatics and microarray analysis. To gain further mechanism insight, flow cytometry was performed to determine cell apoptosis and cell cycle, and western blot or immunohistochemistry were employed to check the expression of CCND1/CDK/FOXM1 axis in HCT116 cells. In addition, wound-healing migration assay and transwell assay were conducted to uncover the effect of miR-20b-5p on tumor migration and invasion. Finally, we examined the role of miR-20b-5p by subcutaneous xenograft mouse models. Our data have shown that miRNA-20b-5p inhibited the cell cycle, migration, and invasion in HCT116 cells, but had no effect on cell apoptosis. CyclinD1 (CCND1) was identified as a direct target of miR-20b-5p. Overexpression of miRNA-20b-5p downregulated CCND1 level in HCT-116 cells. Mechanically, the inhibition of cell cycle, migration, and invasion of CC cells mediated by miRNA-20b-5p are through regulating the CCND1/CDK4/FOXM1 axis. Furthermore, miRNA-20b-5p inhibited the tumorigenesis in Balb/c nude mice CC xenograft models. Our data demonstrated that miR-20b-5p may serve as a tumor suppressor in colon cancer by negatively regulating CCND1, implying that miR-20b-5p could be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of colon cancer.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) associates with FLT3 and negatively regulates downstream signaling.

Project description:The suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) is a member of the SOCS family of E3 ubiquitin ligases. SOCS2 is known to regulate signal transduction by cytokine receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases. The receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 is of importance for proliferation, survival and differentiation of hematopoietic cells and is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia. We observed that SOCS2 associates with activated FLT3 through phosphotyrosine residues 589 and 919, and co-localizes with FLT3 in the cell membrane. SOCS2 increases FLT3 ubiquitination and accelerates receptor degradation in proteasomes. SOCS2 negatively regulates FLT3 signaling by blocking activation of Erk 1/2 and STAT5. Furthermore, SOCS2 expression leads to a decrease in FLT3-ITD-mediated cell proliferation and colony formation. Thus, we suggest that SOCS2 associates with activated FLT3 and negatively regulates the FLT3 signaling pathways.

miR-582-5p Is a Tumor Suppressor microRNA Targeting the Hippo-YAP/TAZ Signaling Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Project description:The Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway involved in a broad spectrum of biological processes, including tumorigenesis. Whilst aberrant Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling is frequently reported in various cancers, the genetic alterations of this pathway are relatively rare, suggesting regulation at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNAs play key role in tumorigenesis by regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. Amongst the cancer-relevant microRNAs, miR-582-5p suppresses cell growth and tumorigenesis by inhibiting the expression of oncogenes, including AKT3, MAP3K2 and NOTCH1. Given the oncogenic role of YAP/TAZ in solid tumors, we scrutinized the possible interplay between miR-582-5p and Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling. Correlation analysis in NSCLC cells revealed a positive relationship between the expression of mature miR-582-5p and the proportion of phosphorylated YAP/TAZ. Intriguingly, YAP/TAZ knockdown reduced the expression of mature miR-582-5p but increased that of primary miR-582. Overexpression of miR-582-5p resulted in increased phosphorylation of YAP/TAZ with a concomitant reduction in cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we find that miR-582-5p targets actin regulators NCKAP1 and PIP5K1C, which may be responsible for the observed alteration in F-actin, known to modulate YAP/TAZ. We postulate that regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by miR-582-5p may attenuate YAP/TAZ activity. Altogether, this study reveals a novel mechanism of YAP/TAZ regulation by miR-582-5p in a cytoskeleton-dependent manner and suggests a negative feedback loop, highlighting the therapeutic potential of restoring miR-582-5p expression in treating NSCLC.

MicroRNA-1225-5p behaves as a tumor suppressor in human glioblastoma via targeting of IRS1.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis by directly regulating their target genes.Materials and methodsIn this study, we observed that the miR-1225-5p expression level in glioblastoma tissues was significantly lower as compared with that in normal brain tissues, and its low expression was significantly associated with histopathological grade and poor patient prognosis.ResultsThrough establishing a miR-1225-5p overexpression glioblastoma cell line, we found that ectopic overexpression of miR-1225-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of glioblastoma cells in vitro. Moreover, the growth of a glioblastoma xenograft tumor was attenuated by overexpression of miR-1225-5p. Further integrative studies suggested that the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) was a direct functional target of miR-1225-5p in glioblastoma, and the mRNA and protein levels of IRS1 in six human glioblastoma cell lines (A172, SW1783, U87, LN-229, SW1088, and T98G) were significantly higher as compared with normal human astrocytes.ConclusionThese results suggest that miR-1225-5p may be a novel candidate for glioblastoma therapy.

MicroRNA?138?5p regulates the development of spinal cord injury by targeting SIRT1.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs) play an important role in the development and progression of spinal cord injury (SCI). The role of miR?138?5p in SCI was investigated in the present study. The anti?inflammatory effects of miR?138?5p and underlying mechanisms were investigated in an SCI rat model and in vitro model. Reverse transcription?quantitative PCR (RT?qPCR) was used to examine the expression of miR?138?5p in the SCI in vivo and in vitro models, as well as patients with SCI; it was found that miR?138?5p was significantly upregulated in SCI. Bioinformatics and dual?luciferase reporter assays were performed to predict and confirm the binding sites between miR?138?5p and the 3'untranslated region of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). Then, the expression of SIRT1 was detected via RT?qPCR and western blotting, indicating downregulation of SIRT1 in SCI. PC12 cells were transfected with miR?138?5p inhibitor, inhibitor control or miR?138?5p inhibitor + SIRT1 small interfering RNA for 48 h, and then subjected to lipopolysaccharide (100 ng/ml) treatment for 4 h. Then, MTT assay, flow cytometry and ELISA experiments were performed to analyze cell viability, apoptosis, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor??, interleukin (IL)?1? and IL?6. Findings suggested that downregulation of miR?138?5p increased PC12 cell viability, inhibited cell apoptosis and attenuated proinflammatory responses, which may result in amelioration of SCI. However, all these effects were reversed by SIRT1 knockdown. Finally, it was observed that miR?138?5p altered the related protein expression of the PTEN/AKT pathway. These results indicated that miR?138?5p could regulate inflammatory responses and cell apoptosis in SCI models by modulating the PTEN/AKT signaling pathway via SIRT1, thus playing an important role in the development of SCI. Collectively, the present study demonstrated that miR?138?5p may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of SCI.

Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling-1/STAT1 Regulates Renal Inflammation in Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis Models.

Project description:Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsGN) is a significant global threat to public health. Inflammation plays a crucial role in MsGN; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that suppression of the cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) signaling pathway is associated with renal inflammation and renal injury in MsGN. Using MsGN rat (Thy1.1 GN) and mouse (Habu GN) models, renal SOCS1/STAT1 was determined to be associated with CD4+ T cell infiltration and related cytokines. In vitro, SOCS1 overexpression repressed IFN-?-induced MHC class II and cytokine levels and STAT1 phosphorylation in mesangial cells. SOCS1 and STAT1 inhibitors significantly inhibited IFN-?-induced CIITA promoter activity and MHC class II expression. In conclusion, our study emphasizes the pivotal role of the SOCS1/STAT1 axis in the regulation of inflammation in MsGN.
