MicroRNA-365 inhibits YAP through TLR4-mediated IRF3 phosphorylation and thereby alleviates gastric precancerous lesions.

ABSTRACT: Background: Gastric carcinoma (GC) is currently one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system, and gastric precancerous lesions play a vital role in studying the mechanism of GC. Multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) have been documented to be potential biomarkers to indicate progression of gastric precancerous lesions. In this study, we explained the anti-cancer effect of miR-365 in gastric precancerous lesions via regulation of the TLR4/IRF3/YAP/CDX2 axis.

Methods: miR-365, TLR4, CDX2 and IPF3 expression was determined in GC and atrophic gastritis tissues and cells. After transfection of shRNA and overexpression plasmids, in vitro experiments detected the alteration of cell viability, apoptosis and inflammatory factors. Bioinformatics analysis, Co-IP and dual luciferase reporter gene assay were conducted to evaluate the binding between miR-365 and TLR4 as well as IRF3 and YAP. Rat models were established to explore the effect of the miR-365 and TLR4 on gastric precancerous lesions.

Results: miR-365 was poorly expressed in GC and atrophic gastritis tissues and GC cell lines, while TLR4, CDX2 and IRF3 were overexpressed. Of note, miR-365 was indicated to target TLR4 and thereby suppressed cancer progression and increased hemoglobin content. Interestingly, silencing of TLR4 was accompanied by decreased IRF3 phosphorylation and reduced expression with less binding between CDX2 and IRF3. Downregulation of YAP resulted in declined CDX2 expression in cancer cells. Moreover, the inhibitory role of miR-365 was further confirmed in animal models.

Conclusion: Taken together, miR-365-mediated TLR4 inhibition reduces IRF3 phosphorylation and YAP-mediated CDX2 transcription to impede progression of gastric precancerous lesions.

Project description:Aim of the studyWe aimed to explore how weipiling (WPL) decoction WPL alleviates gastric precancerous lesions (GPLs) and uncover its anti-inflammatory roles in GPL treatment.Materials and methodsThe anti-GPL action mechanisms of WPL were analysed using a network pharmacological method. The WPL extract was prepared in a traditional way and evaluated for its major components using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). BALB/c mice were exposed to N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) (150 μg/mL) for 6 weeks to induce GPLs. GPL mice were administered WPL (3.75 g/kg/day and 15 g/kg/day) for an additional 8 weeks. Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used to investigate histological alterations in gastric tissues. Expression of the T helper 1 (Th1) cell markers CD4+ and interferon-gamma (INF-γ) were tested using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Inflammatory protein and mRNA levels in the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway were detected using western blotting and a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), respectively.ResultsWe identified and selected 110 active compounds and 146 targets from public databases and references. Four representative components of WPL were established and quantified by HPLC-MS/MS analysis. WPL attenuated MNNG-induced GPLs, including epithelial shedding, cavity fusion, basement membranes with asymmetrical thickness, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, pro-inflammatory Th1-cell infiltration, and INF-γ production, indicating that WPL prevents inflammation in the gastric mucosa. Furthermore, WPL reversed MNNG-induced activation of the IκB/NF-κB signalling pathway and subsequently attenuated the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase (NOX)) family members NOX2 and NOX4.ConclusionWPL attenuated GPLs by controlling the generation of pro-inflammatory elements and inhibiting the NF-κB signalling pathway in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundAngiogenesis is a pathobiological hallmark of gastric cancer. However, rare studies focus on angiogenesis in gastric precancerous lesions (GPL). Weipixiao (WPX), a Chinese herbal preparation, is proved clinically effective in treating GPL. Here, we evaluated WPX's anti-angiogenic potential for GPL, and also investigated the possibility of its anti-angiogenic mechanisms.MethodsHPLC analysis was applied to screen the major chemical components of WPX. After modeling N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced GPL in male Sprague-Dawley rats, different doses of WPX were administrated orally for 10 weeks. Next, we performed histopathological examination using routine H&E staining and HID-AB-PAS staining. In parallel, we assessed angiogenesis revealed by microvessel density (MVD) using CD34 immunostaining, and subsequently observe microvessel ultrastructure in gastric mucosa under Transmission Electron Microscope. Finally, we detect expression of angiogenesis-associated markers VEGF and HIF-1α using immunohistochemistry. Moreover, mRNA expressions of ERK1, ERK2, Cylin D1 as well as HIF-1α in gastric mucosa were determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction.ResultsWe observed the appearance of active angiogenesis in GPL rats, and demonstrated that WPX could reduce microvascular abnormalities and attenuate early angiogenesis in most of GPL specimens with a concomitant regression of most intestinal metaplasia (IM) and a portion of gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED). In parallel, WPX could suppress HIF-1α mRNA expression (P < 0.01) as well as protein expression (although without statistical significance), and could markedly inhibit VEGF protein expression in GPL rats. Mechanistically, WPX intervention, especially at low dose, caused a significant decrease in the ERK1 and Cylin D1 mRNA levels. However, WPX might probably have no regulatory effect on ERK2 amplification.ConclusionsWPX could attenuate early angiogenesis and temper microvascular abnormalities in GPL rats. This might be partly achieved by inhibiting on the angiogenesis-associated markers HIF-1α and VEGF, and on the ERK1/Cylin D1 aberrant activation.

Project description:Objective:The clinical outcomes of gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer have been attributed to the interplay of virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), host genetic susceptibility, and host immune responses.
