Transcriptional Network Analysis Reveals the Role of miR-223-5p During Diabetic Corneal Epithelial Regeneration

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder. Long-term hyperglycemia may induce diabetic keratopathy (DK), which is mainly characterized by delayed corneal epithelial regeneration. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play regulatory roles during tissue regeneration. However, the molecular mechanism by which miRNAs influence epithelial regeneration in DK is largely unknown. In this study, we performed miRNA and mRNA sequencing of regenerative corneal epithelium tissue from streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic (T1DM) and wild-type mice to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs. Based on regulatory network analysis, miR-223-5p was selected for subsequent experiments and Hpgds was then identified as a direct target gene. MiR-223-5p downregulation significantly promoted diabetic corneal epithelial wound healing and nerve regeneration. However, the beneficial effects of miR-223-5p inhibition were abolished by an Hpgds inhibitor. Furthermore, mechanistic studies demonstrated that miR-223-5p suppression ameliorated inflammation and enhanced cell proliferation signaling in DK. Taken together, our findings revealed that the regulatory role of miR-223-5p in diabetic corneal epithelial and nerve regeneration by mediating inflammatory processes and cell proliferation signaling. And silencing miR-223-5p may contribute to the development of potential therapeutic strategies for DK.

DNase I improves corneal epithelial and nerve regeneration in diabetic mice.

Project description:DNase I has been reported to improve diabetic wound healing through the clearance of neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) caused by neutrophil aggregation. However, the function of DNase I on diabetic corneal wound healing remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effect and mechanism of topical DNase I application on diabetic mouse corneal epithelial and nerve regeneration. Corneal epithelial defects, inflammatory response, regeneration-related signalling pathways, oxidative stress, corneal innervation and sensation were examined and compared between the diabetic and normal mice. The results confirmed firstly the increased NETs production during the delayed corneal epithelial wound healing of diabetic mice, which was significantly improved through either DNase I or Cl-amidine administration. Mechanistically, DNase I improved inflammation resolution, reactivated epithelial regeneration-related signalling pathways and attenuated the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, DNase I application also promoted corneal nerve regeneration and restored the impaired corneal sensitivity in diabetic mice. Therefore, these results indicate that topical DNase I application promotes corneal epithelial wound healing and mechanical sensation restoration in diabetic mice, representing the potential therapeutic approach for diabetic keratopathy.

MiR-223-3p and miR-122-5p as circulating biomarkers for plaque instability.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In this study, we discovered and validated candidate microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for coronary artery disease (CAD). METHOD:Candidate tissue-derived miRNAs from atherosclerotic plaque material in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) (n=14) and unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD) (n=25) were discovered by qPCR-based arrays. We validated differentially expressed miRNAs, along with seven promising CAD-associated miRNAs from the literature, in the serum of two large cohorts (n=395?and n=1000) of patients with SCAD and UCAD and subclinical atherosclerosis (SubA) and controls, respectively. RESULT:From plaque materials (discovery phase), miR-125b-5p and miR-193b-3p were most upregulated in SCAD, whereas miR-223-3p and miR-142-3p were most upregulated in patients with UCAD. Subsequent validation in serum from patients with UCAD, SCAD, SubA and controls demonstrated significant upregulation of miR-223-3p, miR-133a-3p, miR-146-3p and miR-155-5p. The ischaemia-related miR-499-5p was also highly upregulated in patients with UCAD compared with the other groups (SCAD OR 20.63 (95% CI 11.16 to 38.15), SubA OR 96.10 (95% CI 40.13 to 230.14) and controls OR 15.73 (95% CI 7.80 to 31.72)). However, no significant difference in miR-499-5p expression was observed across SCAD, SubA and controls. MiR-122-5p was the only miRNA to be significantly upregulated in the serum of both patients with UCAD and SCAD. CONCLUSION:In conclusion, miR-122-5p and miR-223-3p might be markers of plaque instability.

Bioinformatics analysis of the common targets of miR-223-3p, miR-122-5p, and miR-93-5p in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Project description:Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common gynecological endocrine disorders. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play extensive roles in the pathogenesis of PCOS and can serve as potential diagnostic markers. However, most studies focused on the regulatory mechanisms of individual miRNAs, and the combined regulatory effects of multiple miRNAs remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the common targets of miR-223-3p, miR-122-5p, and miR-93-5p; and assess the transcript levels of some of these targets in PCOS rat ovaries. Transcriptome profiles of granulosa cells from PCOS patients were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A total of 1,144 DEGs were screened, 204 of which were upregulated and 940 were downregulated. According to the miRWalk algorithm, 4,284 genes were targeted by all three miRNAs at the same time, and intersection with DEGs was used to obtain candidate target genes. A total of 265 candidate target genes were screened, and the detected target genes were subjected to Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment, followed by PPI network analysis. Then, qRT-PCR was used to determine the levels of 12 genes in PCOS rat ovaries. The expressions of 10 of these genes were found to be consistent with our bioinformatics results. In conclusion, JMJD1C, PLCG2, SMAD3, FOSL2, TGFB1, TRIB1, GAS7, TRIM25, NFYA, and CALCRL may participate in the development of PCOS. Our findings contribute to the identification of biomarkers that may promote the effective prevention and treatment of PCOS in the future.

Cisd2 plays an essential role in corneal epithelial regeneration.

Project description:BackgroundAge-related changes affecting the ocular surface cause vision loss in the elderly. Cisd2 deficiency drives premature aging in mice as well as resulting in various ocular surface abnormalities. Here we investigate the role of CISD2 in corneal health and disease.MethodsWe studied the molecular mechanism underlying the ocular phenotypes brought about by Cisd2 deficiency using both Cisd2 knockout (KO) mice and a human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) cell line carrying a CRISPR-mediated CISD2KO background. We also develop a potential therapeutic strategy that targets the Ca2+ signaling pathway, which has been found to be dysregulated in the corneal epithelium of subjects with ocular surface disease in order to extend the mechanistic findings into a translational application.FindingsFirstly, in patients with corneal epithelial disease, CISD2 is down-regulated in their corneal epithelial cells. Secondly, using mouse cornea, Cisd2 deficiency causes a cycle of chronic injury and persistent repair resulting in exhaustion of the limbal progenitor cells. Thirdly, in human corneal epithelial cells, CISD2 deficiency disrupts intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, impairing mitochondrial function, thereby retarding corneal repair. Fourthly, cyclosporine A and EDTA facilitate corneal epithelial wound healing in Cisd2 knockout mice. Finally, cyclosporine A treatment restores corneal epithelial erosion in patients with dry eye disease, which affects the ocular surface.InterpretationThese findings reveal that Cisd2 plays an essential role in the cornea and that Ca2+ signaling pathways are potential targets for developing therapeutics of corneal epithelial diseases.FundingThis study was supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and Chang Gung Medical Research Foundation, Taiwan.
