ACOX1, regulated by C/EBPα and miR-25-3p, promotes bovine preadipocyte adipogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation of fatty acids. Previous studies have reported that ACOX1 was correlated with the meat quality of livestock, while the role of ACOX1 in intramuscular adipogenesis of beef cattle and its transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays demonstrated that ACOX1 positively regulated the adipogenesis of bovine intramuscular preadipocytes. The C/EBPα-binding sites in the bovine ACOX1 promoter region at -1142 to -1129 bp, -831 to -826 bp, and -303 to -298 bp were identified by promoter deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) further showed that these three regions are C/EBPα-binding sites, both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that C/EBPα directly interacts with the bovine ACOX1 promoter and inhibits its transcription. Furthermore, the results from bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase assay, site-directed mutagenesis, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting demonstrated that miR-25-3p directly targeted the ACOX1 3'UTR (3'UTR). Taken together, our findings suggest that ACOX1, regulated by transcription factor C/EBPα and miR-25-3p, promotes adipogenesis of bovine intramuscular preadipocytes via regulating peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation.

Bovine Pre-adipocyte Adipogenesis Is Regulated by bta-miR-150 Through mTOR Signaling.

Project description:Micro RNA (miR) are recognized for their important roles in biological processes, particularly in regulatory componentization. Among the miR, miR-150 has been the focus of intense scrutiny, mostly due to its role in malignant tumors. A comparison between steer and bull adipose tissues identified bta-miR-150 as one of the nine downregulated miRNAs, although its function remains unknown (GEO:GSE75063). The present study aimed to further characterize the role of bta-miR-150 in cattle. bta-miR-150 has a negative regulatory effect on the differentiation of bovine adipocytes and promotes proliferation. Overexpression of bta-miR-150 can promote mRNA and protein expression of the marker genes CDK1, CDK2, and PCNA, increase the number of EdU-stained cells, promote adipocyte proliferation, inhibit adipocyte differentiation, and reduce lipid droplet formation. Results of RNA-seq and WGCNA analyses showed that the mammalian target of the rapamycin signaling pathway, which plays a major regulatory role, is dysregulated by the overexpression and inhibition of miR-150. We found that the target gene of bta-miR-150 is AKT1 and that bta-miR-150 affects AKT1 phosphorylation levels. These results showed that bta-miR-150 plays a role in adipogenic differentiation and might therefore have applications in the beef industry.

miR-424 Promotes Bovine Adipogenesis Through an Unconventional Post-Transcriptional Regulation of STK11.

Project description:Adipose tissue is the largest energy reservoir and secretory organ in the animal body, and is essential for maintaining normal physiological functions and metabolic balance. MicroRNAs regulate the process of adipogenic differentiation through post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. In the present study, miR-424 was upregulated during bovine adipocyte differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. The overexpression and interference of miR-424 exhibited the positive regulatory role in the differentiation of bovine adipocytes. Furthermore, miR-424 directly binds to the three prime untranslated region (3' UTR) of serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11, also called LKB1), a master upstream gene in the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) cascade, and up-regulates its expression. Functional studies showed that the knockdown of STK11 attenuated the pro-adipogenic effect of miR-424. Post-transcriptional regulation of STK11 by miR-424 was mediated potentially in an RNA binding protein (RBP) binding site-dependent manner. In conclusion, our study shows that miR-424 promotes bovine adipogenesis through an unconventional post-transcriptional regulation of STK11, which may serve as a potential target for the regulation of bovine adipogenesis and the improvement of livestock breeding efficiency.

Exosome-Derived miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p Stimulate Liposarcoma Progression.

Project description:Despite the development of combined modality treatments against liposarcoma in recent years, a significant proportion of patients respond only modestly to such approaches, possibly contributing to local or distant recurrence. Early detection of recurrent or metastatic disease could improve patient prognosis by triggering earlier clinical intervention. However, useful biomarkers for such purposes are lacking. Using both patient plasma samples and cell lines, we demonstrate here that miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p are secreted by liposarcoma cells through extracellular vesicles and may be useful as potential biomarkers of disease. Both miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p stimulated secretion of proinflammatory cytokine IL6 from tumor-associated macrophages in a TLR7/8-dependent manner, which in turn promoted liposarcoma cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via this interaction with the surrounding microenvironment. Our findings provide novel and previously unreported insight into liposarcoma progression, identifying communication between liposarcoma cells and their microenvironment as a process critically involved in liposarcoma progression. This study establishes the possibility that the pattern of circulating miRNAs may identify recurrence prior to radiological detectability while providing insight into disease outcome and as a possible approach to monitor treatment efficacy.

LncRNA JPX promotes cervical cancer progression by modulating miR-25-3p/SOX4 axis.

Project description:Background:The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) JPX is a molecular switch for X-chromosome inactivation. Accumulating studies have shown that the aberrant expression and function of lncRNAs are involved in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the functional importance and mechanism of the action of lncRNA JPX in cervical cancer (CC) remain unknown. Method:In this study, qRT-PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate the mRNA or protein expression of JPX, miR-25-3p and SOX4 in CC tissues and cell lines. StarBase v2.0 database, luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were used to explore the relationship between JPX and miR-25-3p. EdU assay, CCK-8 assay and transwell assay were utilized to evaluate the proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells. The tumor xenograft assay in nude mice was performed to demonstrate the role of the JPX/miR-25-3p/SOX4 axis in CC. Results:We found that JPX was markedly upregulated, whereas miR-25-3p was markedly downregulated in CC tissues and cell lines, and the expression of JPX was negatively correlated with miR-25-3p in CC tissues. Moreover, overexpression of JPX increased proliferation, migration and invasion of HeLa cells, whereas knockdown of JPX decreased proliferation, migration and invasion of HeLa cells. In contrast to JPX, overexpression of miR-25-3p decreased proliferation, migration and invasion of HeLa cells. In addition, knockdown of JPX was found to inhibit HeLa cell viability and tumor development via up-regulating the expression of miR-25-3p and inhibiting the expression of SOX4. Conclusions:Our study demonstrates that JPX promotes cervical cancer progression through modulating the miR-25-3p/SOX4 axis, and may serve as a potential target for CC therapy.

miR-370-3p Regulates Adipogenesis through Targeting Mknk1.

Project description:Excessive fat accumulation can lead to obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, and other diseases. MicroRNAs are a class of microRNAs that regulate gene expression and are highly conserved in function among species. microRNAs have been shown to act as regulatory factors to inhibit fat accumulation in the body. We found that miR-370-3p was expressed at lower levels in the fat mass of mice on a high-fat diet than in mice on a normal control diet. Furthermore, our data showed that the overexpression of miR-370-3p significantly suppressed the mRNA expression levels of adipogenic markers. Thus, miR-370-3p overexpression reduced lipid accumulation. Conversely, the inhibition of miR-370-3p suppressed 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and promoted preadipocyte differentiation. In addition, Mknk1, a target gene of miR-370-3p, plays an opposing role in preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, consistent results from in vitro as well as in vivo experiments suggest that the inhibition of fat accumulation by miR-370-3p may result from the inhibition of saturated fatty acids that promote the accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In conclusion, these results suggest that miR-370-3p plays an important role in adipogenesis and fatty acid metabolism through the regulation of Mknk1.

Neudesin Neurotrophic Factor Promotes Bovine Preadipocyte Differentiation and Inhibits Myoblast Myogenesis.

Project description:Neudesin neurotrophic factor (NENF) is a secreted protein that is essential in multiple biological processes, including neural functions, adipogenesis, and tumorigenesis. In our previous study, NENF was significantly inhibited in the bovine adipocytes-myoblasts co-culture system. However, studies on NENF regulation of bovine muscle development and involvement in the cross-talk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle have not been reported. Hence, the aim of this study was to clarify the functional roles of NENF in bovine preadipocytes and myoblasts. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to examine the spatial expression patterns of NENF in different tissues, and the results showed that NENF was highly expressed in the muscle of four-day-old and 24-month-old Qinchuan cattle. Compared with four-day-old Qinchuan cattle, the expression level of NENF was significantly up-regulated in 24-month-old bovine adipose tissue. To explore the roles of NENF in bovine myoblast and preadipocyte differentiation, small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the NENF gene were transfected into bovine preadipocytes and myoblasts to knock down the expression of the NENF gene. The results showed that the knockdown of NENF in differentiating adipocytes attenuated lipid accumulation, decreased the mRNA expression of adipogenic key marker genes PPAR?, CEBP?, CEBP?, FASN, and SCD1, and decreased the protein expression of PPAR?, CEBP?, and FASN. The formation of myotubes was significantly accelerated, and the mRNA expression levels of myogenic marker genes MYOD1, MYF5, MYF6, MEF2A, MEF2C, and CKM, and the protein expression levels of MYOD1, MYF6, MEF2A, and CKM were up-regulated in myoblasts where NENF was knocked down. In short, the knockdown of NENF inhibited preadipocyte differentiation and promoted myoblast myogenesis.

Lnc NR2F1-AS1 Promotes Breast Cancer Metastasis by Targeting the MiR-25-3p/ZEB2 Axis.

Project description:Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) substantially affect tumor metastasis and are aberrantly expressed in various cancers. However, its role in breast cancer (BC) remains unclear. Methods: A microarray assay of differentially expressed lncRNAs in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and non-EMT cells was performed. The prognostic value of lnc NR2F1-AS1 expression in patients with BC was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Lnc NR2F1-AS1 expression levels in different BC cell lines were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR. The role of lnc NR2F1-AS1 in BC cell metastasis was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation were performed to investigate the relationship between lnc NR2F1-AS1, miR-25-3p, and ZEB2. Results: High levels of lnc NR2F1-AS1 were observed in BC cells undergoing EMT and were closely correlated with adverse prognosis in patients with BC. Lnc NR2F1-AS1 knockdown significantly inhibited BC cell migration, invasiveness in vitro, and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, lnc NR2F1-AS1 competitively binds to miR-25-3p to impede ZEB2 degradation, a positive EMT transcription factor in BC. Conclusions: Our study revealed a novel lnc NR2F1-AS1/miR-25-3p/ZEB2 axis in BC metastasis and that lnc NR2F1-AS1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for BC metastasis.

Dact1, a nutritionally regulated preadipocyte gene, controls adipogenesis by coordinating the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling network.

Project description:ObjectiveWnt signaling inhibits adipogenesis, but its regulation, physiological relevance, and molecular effectors are poorly understood. Here, we identify the Wnt modulator Dapper1/Frodo1 (Dact1) as a new preadipocyte gene involved in the regulation of murine and human adipogenesis.Research design and methodsChanges in Dact1 expression were investigated in three in vitro models of adipogenesis. In vitro gain- and loss-of-function studies were used to investigate the mechanism of Dact1 action during adipogenesis. The in vivo regulation of Dact1 and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling were investigated in murine models of altered nutritional status, of pharmacological stimulation of in vivo adipogenesis, and during the development of dietary and genetic obesity.ResultsDact1 is a preadipocyte gene that decreases during adipogenesis. However, Dact1 knockdown impairs adipogenesis through activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, and this is reversed by treatment with the secreted Wnt antagonist, secreted Frizzled-related protein 1 (Sfrp1). In contrast, constitutive Dact1 overexpression promotes adipogenesis and confers resistance to Wnt ligand-induced antiadipogenesis through increased expression of endogenous Sfrps and reduced expression of Wnts. In vivo, in white adipose tissue, Dact1 and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling also exhibit coordinated expression profiles in response to altered nutritional status, in response to pharmacological stimulation of in vivo adipogenesis, and during the development of dietary and genetic obesity.ConclusionsDact1 regulates adipogenesis through coordinated effects on gene expression that selectively alter intracellular and paracrine/autocrine components of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. These novel insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling adipose tissue plasticity provide a functional network with therapeutic potential against diseases, such as obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

TOP2A promotes proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma regulated by miR-144-3p.

Project description:Topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) is an important nuclear protein which is found in various types of cancers. Whether TOP2A plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Through bioinformatic analysis and clinical specimen verification, we found that TOP2A is highly expressed in HCC and is associated with poor prognosis. Knockdown and overexpression of TOP2A can respectively inhibit or promote proliferation, metastasis and invasion of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanismly, TOP2A activates cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase by inhibiting the phosphorylation of CHK1 and promotes Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. We further confirmed that TOP2A is a direct target of miR-144-3p whose overexpressing can partially reverse the effect of TOP2A in HCC cells. Our data suggested that TOP2A functions by promoting the proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT process of HCC and can be considered as a potential target for the treatment of HCC.

Myomaker, Regulated by MYOD, MYOG and miR-140-3p, Promotes Chicken Myoblast Fusion.

Project description:The fusion of myoblasts is an important step during skeletal muscle differentiation. A recent study in mice found that a transmembrane protein called Myomaker, which is specifically expressed in muscle, is critical for myoblast fusion. However, the cellular mechanism of its roles and the regulatory mechanism of its expression remain unclear. Chicken not only plays an important role in meat production but is also an ideal model organism for muscle development research. Here, we report that Myomaker is also essential for chicken myoblast fusion. Forced expression of Myomaker in chicken primary myoblasts promotes myoblast fusion, whereas knockdown of Myomaker by siRNA inhibits myoblast fusion. MYOD and MYOG, which belong to the family of myogenic regulatory factors, can bind to a conserved E-box located proximal to the Myomaker transcription start site and induce Myomaker transcription. Additionally, miR-140-3p can inhibit Myomaker expression and myoblast fusion, at least in part, by binding to the 3' UTR of Myomaker in vitro. These findings confirm the essential roles of Myomaker in avian myoblast fusion and show that MYOD, MYOG and miR-140-3p can regulate Myomaker expression.
