Project description:Fatty bone marrow (BM) and defective hematopoiesis are a pathologic hallmark of aplastic anemia (AA). We have investigated adipogenic and osteogenic potential of BM mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) in 10 AA patients (08 males and 02 females) with median age of 37 years (range: 06 to 79 years) and in the same number of age and sex matched controls. It was observed that BM-MSC of AA patients had a morphology, phenotype, and osteogenic differentiation potential similar to control subjects but adipocytes differentiated from AA BM-MSC had a higher density and larger size of lipid droplets and they expressed significantly higher levels of adiponectin and FABP4 genes and proteins as compared to control BM-MSC (P < 0.01 for both). Thus our data shows that AA BM-MSC have enhanced adipogenicity, which may have an important implication in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Project description:Increased propensity of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) toward adipogenic differentiation has been implicated in the fatty bone marrow and defective hematopoiesis of aplastic anemia (AA). However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be investigated. In this study, we found that microRNA 199a-5p (miR-199a-5p) exhibits significantly higher expression in AA BM-MSCs compared with the normal control and is demonstrated to facilitate adipogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs through lentivirus-mediated miR-199a overexpression. Mechanistic investigation reveals that miR-199a-5p could be regulated by PPAR gamma (PPARγ) in a transcription-independent manner and regulates adipogenic differentiation by targeting the expression of transforming growth factor beta induced (TGFBI), which is subsequently validated as a negative regulator of adipogenesis. Besides, the positive correlation between PPARγ and miR-199a-5p expression as well as the inverse relationship between miR-199a-5p and TGFBI expression in normal and AA BM-MSCs was observed. Altogether, our work demonstrates that PPARγ-regulated miR-199a-5p promotes adipogenesis of BM-MSCs by inhibiting TGFBI expression, which might be a novel mechanism underlying the bone marrow adiposity in AA, and provides promising therapeutic targets for AA treatment.

Project description:Acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is a type of bone marrow failure (BMF) syndrome characterized by partial or total bone marrow (BM) destruction resulting in peripheral blood (PB) pancytopenia, which is the reduction in the number of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC), as well as platelets (PLT). The first-line treatment option of AA is given by hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) transplant and/or immunosuppressive (IS) drug administration. Some patients did not respond to the treatment and remain pancytopenic following IS drugs. The studies are in progress to test the efficacy of adoptive cellular therapies as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which confer low immunogenicity and are reliable allogeneic transplants in refractory severe aplastic anemia (SAA) cases. Moreover, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) constitute an essential component of the hematopoietic niche, responsible for stimulating and enhancing the proliferation of HSCs by secreting regulatory molecules and cytokines, providing stimulus to natural BM microenvironment for hematopoiesis. This review summarizes scientific evidences of the hematopoiesis improvements after MSC transplant, observed in acquired AA/BMF animal models as well as in patients with acquired AA. Additionally, we discuss the direct and indirect contribution of MSCs to the pathogenesis of acquired AA.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (bone marrow transplantation [BMT]) is the only curative treatment of severe aplastic anemia. BMT from an human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor is the standard of care for young patients; immunosuppressive therapy is used for older patients or those lacking matched sibling donors. Patients with refractory or relapsed disease are increasingly treated with HLA haploidentical BMT. Historically, haploidentical BMT led to high rates of graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease. High-dose post transplant cyclophosphamide, which mitigates the risk of graft-versus-host disease, is a major advance. This article provides an overview of the haploidentical BMT approach in severe aplastic anemia.

Project description:The effect and related mechanisms of miR-127-5p on the cartilage differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was investigated. Rat BMSCs were generated and transfected with miR-127-5p, RT-PCR and Safranin O staining were used to detect the effect of miR-127-5p on the cartilage differentiation of rat BMSCs. Western blot analysis was used to detect the related mechanisms of miR-127-5p on the cartilage differentiation of rat BMSCs. Genes related to cartilage differentiation such as Sox9, collagen II and aggrecan were significantly increased in the group which were transfected with miR-127-5p, while collagen X, which was related to cartilage hypertrophy, was decreased in the miR-127-5p transfected group. Safranin O staining revealed that the expression of chondroitin sulfate was significantly increased in the group of miR-127-5p, than the miRNA control group. Western blot analysis showed that miR-127-5p transfection promoted the expression of Sox9, while decreased the expression of Runx2 of rat BMSCs. In conclusion, via increasing the expression of Sox9 and decreasing the expression of Runx2, miR-127-5p could promote cartilage differentiation and decrease cartilage hypertrophy of rat BMSCs.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have verified the dysfunction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for immunoregulation in acquired aplastic anemia (AA) patients. Exosomes derived from MSCs can partially substitute MSCs acting as immune regulator. Dysfunction of exosomes (Exos) derived from AA-MSC (AA-Exos) may play a key role in immunologic dissonance.MethodIn this study, CD3 + T cells were collected and cocultured with AA-Exos and exosomes derived from HD-MSC (HD-Exos). The proliferation, differentiation and activation of CD3 + T cells were detected to compare the immunosuppressive effects between AA-Exos and HD-Exos. An immune-mediated murine model of AA was structured to compare the therapeutic effect of AA-Exos and HD-Exos. Furthermore, total RNA including miRNA from exosomes we purified and total RNA of CD3 + T cells were extracted for RNA-seq in order to construct the miRNA-mRNA network for interactions and functional analysis.ResultsAA-Exos had impaired inhibition effects on CD3 + T cells in terms of cell proliferation, activation and differentiation compared with exosomes from HD-Exos. HD-Exos showed a more effective rescue of AA mice compared to AA-Exos. Importantly, we found some differentially expressed miRNA involved in immune response, such as miR-199, miR-128 and miR-486. The Gene Ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed involvement of various cellular processes, such as lymphocyte chemotaxis, lymphocyte migration and response to interferon-gamma. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis illustrated upregulation of critical pathways associated with T cell function after coculturing with AA-Exos compared with HD-Exos, such as graft-versus-host disease, Th17 cell differentiation and JAK-STAT signaling pathway. A miRNA-mRNA network was established to visualize the interaction between them.ConclusionIn summary, AA-Exos had impaired immunosuppressive effect on T cells, less ability to rescue AA mice and differently expressed miRNA profile, which might partly account for the pathogenesis of AA as well as provide a new target of AA treatment.

Project description:Aplastic anemia (AA) is generally considered as an immune-mediated bone marrow failure syndrome with defective hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and marrow microenvironment. Previous studies have demonstrated the defective HSCs and aberrant T cellular-immunity in AA using a microarray approach. However, little is known about the overall specialty of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). In the present study, we comprehensively compared the biological features and gene expression profile of BM-MSCs between AA patients and healthy volunteers. In comparison with healthy controls, BM-MSCs from AA patients showed aberrant morphology, decreased proliferation and clonogenic potential and increased apoptosis. BM-MSCs from AA patients were susceptible to be induced to differentiate into adipocytes but more difficult to differentiate into osteoblasts. Consistent with abnormal biological features, a large number of genes implicated in cell cycle, cell division, proliferation, chemotaxis and hematopoietic cell lineage showed markedly decreased expression in BM-MSCs from AA patients. Conversely, more related genes with apoptosis, adipogenesis and immune response showed increased expression in BM-MSCs from AA patients. The gene expression profile of BM-MSCs further confirmed the abnormal biological properties and provided significant evidence for the possible mechanism of the destruction of the bone marrow microenvironment in AA.

Project description:Increasing evidence highlights the multiple roles of microRNAs (miRs) in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the molecular mechanism, particularly the target of miR-146b-5p in CRC has not been fully elucidated. The present study aimed to elucidate the influence of miR-146b-5p via regulating tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) in CRC. The expression levels of miR-146b-5p and TRAF6 in CRC tissue and cells were determined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR and western blotting. Binding between miR-146b-5p and TRAF6 was examined using a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. The impact of miR-146b-5p and TRAF6 on proliferation and migration of CRC cells was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays, respectively. An animal model of CRC was established to determine the carcinogenic effect of the miR-146b-5p-TRAF6 axis. The results demonstrated that miR-146b-5p was highly expressed in CRC tissue samples compared with in normal adjacent tissue samples and in CRC cells compared with in the normal NCM460 cell line, whereas TRAF6 was expressed at low levels. Overexpression of miR-146b-5p decreased TRAF6 expression in CRC HT29 and SW620 cells. miR-146b-5p targeted and inhibited TRAF6 expression in CRC cells. Furthermore, transfection with a miR-146b-5p mimic promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells and tumor growth; however, these effects were abolished by TRAF6 overexpression. Transfection with a miR-146b-5p inhibitor suppressed the proliferation of CRC cells. Taken together, the results from the present study demonstrated that miR-146b-5p could enhance the initiation and tumorigenesis of CRC by targeting TRAF6. These results will help elucidate the mechanisms underlying CRC development and will facilitate the development of targeted therapy for CRC.

Project description:Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy, and papillary thyroid carcinoma represents the most common thyroid cancer. Papillary thyroid carcinomas that invade locally or metastasize are associated with a poor prognosis. We found that, during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), papillary thyroid carcinoma cells acquired increased cancer stem cell-like features and the transcription factor paired-related homeobox protein 1 (PRRX1; alias PRX-1), a newly identified EMT inducer, was markedly up-regulated. miR-146b-5p was also transiently up-regulated during EMT, and in siRNA experiments miR-146b-5p had an inhibitory role on cell proliferation and invasion during TGF-β1-induced EMT. We conclude that papillary thyroid carcinoma tumor cells exhibit increased cancer stem cell-like features during TGF-β1-induced EMT, that miR-146b-5p has a role in cell proliferation and invasion, and that PRRX1 plays an important role in papillary thyroid carcinoma EMT and disease progression.

Project description:BackgroundAcquired aplastic anemia (AA) is characterized by deficiency or dysfunction of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. However, little is known about the impairment of BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in AA patients.MethodsWe used Illumina HiSeqTM 2000 sequencing, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), flow cytometry (FCM), and Western blotting to test the expression of CD106 gene (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1)) and CD106 protein of BM-MSCs. Furthermore, we used hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and histochemical staining analysis, immunofluorescence, and the formation of capillary-like structures to analyze capillary tube-like formation in vitro; we also used the Matrigel plug assay to test in vivo vasculogenesis, and an assay of colony forming units (CFUs) and colony-forming unit-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) to detect the support function of MSCs in vitro. The in vivo engraftment of CD34+ cells and MSCs in NOD/SCID mice was tested by FACS and survival assay; the expression of NF-?B was tested by NanoPro analysis and immunofluorescence. NF-?B-regulated CD106 gene (VCAM1) was confirmed by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?)-stimulated and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated MSCs, blockade assay, and immunofluorescence.ResultsHere, we report that BM-MSCs from AA patients exhibited downregulation of the CD06 gene (VCAM1) and low expression of CD106 in vitro. Further analysis revealed that CD106+ MSCs from both AA patients and healthy controls had increased potential for in vitro capillary tube-like formation and in vivo vasculogenesis compared with CD106- MSCs, and the results were similar when healthy MSCs were compared with AA MSCs. CD106+ MSCs from both AA patients and healthy controls more strongly supported in vitro growth and in vivo engraftment of CD34+ cells in NOD/SCID mice than CD106- MSCs, and similar results were obtained when healthy MSCs and AA MSCs were compared. The expression of NF-?B was decreased in AA MSCs, and NF-?B regulated the CD106 gene (VCAM1) which supported hematopoiesis.ConclusionsThese results revealed the effect of CD106 and NF-?B in BM failure of AA.
