MiR-200c-3p maintains stemness and proliferative potential in adipose-derived stem cells by counteracting senescence mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are promising therapeutic tools in regenerative medicine because they possess self-renewal, differentiation and immunomodulatory capacities. After isolation, ASCs are passaged multiple times in vitro passages to obtain a sufficient amount of cells for clinical applications. During this time-consuming procedure, ASCs become senescent and less proliferative, compromising their clinical efficacy. Here, we sought to investigate how in vitro passages impact ASC proliferation/senescence and expression of immune regulatory proteins. MicroRNAs are pivotal regulators of ASC physiology. Particularly, miR-200c is known to maintain pluripotency and targets the immune checkpoint Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). We therefore investigated its involvement in these critical characteristics of ASCs during in vitro passages. We found that when transiently expressed, miR-200c-3p promotes proliferation, maintains stemness, and contrasts senescence in late passaged ASCs. Additionally, this miRNA modulates PD-L1 and Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase (IDO1) expression, thus most likely interfering with the immunoregulatory capacity of ASCs. Based on our results, we suggest that expression of miR-200c-3p may prime ASC towards a self-renewing phenotype by improving their in vitro expansion. Contrarily, its inhibition is associated with senescence, reduced proliferation and induction of immune regulators. Our data underline the potential use of miR-200c-3p as a switch for ASCs reprogramming and their clinical application.

MiR-200c-3p Modulates Cisplatin Resistance in Biliary Tract Cancer by ZEB1-Independent Mechanisms.

Project description:Biliary tract cancer is a major global health issue in cancer-related mortality. Therapeutic options are limited, and cisplatin-based treatment schedules represent the mainstay of first-line therapeutic strategies. Although the gain of survival by the addition of cisplatin to gemcitabine is moderate, acquired cisplatin resistance frequently leads to treatment failures with mechanisms that are still poorly understood. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic process that changes the shape, function, and gene expression pattern of biliary tract cancer cells. In this study, we explored the influence of the EMT-regulating miR-200c-3p on cisplatin sensitivity in biliary tract cancer cells. Using gain of function experiments, we demonstrated that miR-200c-3p regulates epithelial cell markers through the downregulation of the transcription factor ZEB1. MiR-200c-3p upregulation led to a decreased sensitivity against cisplatin, as observed in transient overexpression models as well as in cell lines stably overexpressing miR-200c-3p. The underlying mechanism seems to be independent of miR-200c-3p's influence on ZEB1 expression, as ZEB1 knockdown resulted in the opposite effect on cisplatin resistance, which was abolished when ZEB1 knockdown and miR-200c-3p overexpression occurred in parallel. Using a gene panel of 40 genes that were previously associated with cisplatin resistance, two (Dual Specificity Phosphatase 16 (DUSP16) and Stratifin (SFN)) were identified as significantly (>2 fold, p-value < 0.05) up-regulated in miR-200c-3p overexpressing cells. In conclusion, miR-200c-3p might be an important contributor to cisplatin resistance in biliary tract cancer, independently of its interaction with ZEB1.

miR-200c-3p, miR-222-5p, and miR-512-3p Constitute a Biomarker Signature of Sorafenib Effectiveness in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundSorafenib constitutes a suitable treatment alternative for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in whom atezolizumab + bevacizumab therapy is contraindicated. The aim of the study was the identification of a miRNA signature in liquid biopsy related to sorafenib response.MethodsmiRNAs were profiled in hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells and tested in animal models, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and plasma from HCC patients.ResultsSorafenib altered the expression of 11 miRNAs in HepG2 cells. miR-200c-3p and miR-27a-3p exerted an anti-tumoral activity by decreasing cell migration and invasion, whereas miR-122-5p, miR-148b-3p, miR-194-5p, miR-222-5p, and miR-512-3p exerted pro-tumoral properties by increasing cell proliferation, migration, or invasion, or decreasing apoptosis. Sorafenib induced a change in EVs population with an increased number of larger EVs, and promoted an accumulation of miR-27a-3p, miR-122-5p, miR-148b-3p, miR-193b-3p, miR-194-5p, miR-200c-3p, and miR-375 into exosomes. In HCC patients, circulating miR-200c-3p baseline levels were associated with increased survival, whereas high levels of miR-222-5p and miR-512-3p after 1 month of sorafenib treatment were related to poor prognosis. The RNA sequencing revealed that miR-200c-3p was related to the regulation of cell growth and death, whereas miR-222-5p and miR-512-3p were related to metabolic control.ConclusionsThe study showed that Sorafenib regulates a specific miRNA signature in which miR-200c-3p, miR-222-5p, and miR-512-3p bear prognostic value and contribute to treatment response.

Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma: Elevated microRNA miR-181b-5p and Reduced miR-200b-3p, miR-200c-3p, and miR-203a-3p Expression as Potential Biomarkers with Diagnostic Value.

Project description:Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare yet aggressive breast cancer variant, associated with a poor prognosis. The major challenge for IBC is misdiagnosis due to the lack of molecular biomarkers. We profiled dysregulated expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in primary samples of IBC and non-IBC tumors using human breast cancer miRNA PCR array. We discovered that 28 miRNAs were dysregulated (10 were upregulated, while 18 were underexpressed) in IBC vs. non-IBC tumors. We identified 128 hub genes, which are putative targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs and modulate important cancer biological processes. Furthermore, our qPCR analysis independently verified a significantly upregulated expression of miR-181b-5p, whereas a significant downregulation of miR-200b-3p, miR-200c-3p, and miR-203a-3p was detected in IBC tumors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves implied that the four miRNAs individually had a diagnostic accuracy in discriminating patients with IBC from non-IBC and that miR-203a-3p had the highest diagnostic value with an AUC of 0.821. Interestingly, a combination of miR-181b-5p, miR-200b-3p, and miR-200c-3p robustly improved the diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.897. Intriguingly, qPCR revealed that the expression of zinc finger E box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) mRNA, the putative target of miR-200b-3p, miR-200c-3p, and miR-203a-3p, was upregulated in IBC tumors. Overall, this study identified a set of miRNAs serving as potential biomarkers with diagnostic relevance for IBC.

Circular RNA hsa_circ_001783 regulates breast cancer progression via sponging miR-200c-3p.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests circular RNAs (circRNAs) exert critical functions in tumor progression via sponging miRNAs (microRNAs). However, the role of circRNAs in breast cancer remains unclear. Here we systematically analyzed the circular RNAs in breast cancer based on their characteristic in sponging disease-specific miRNAs and identified hsa_circ_001783 as a top ranked circRNA in our computation and verified its high expression in both breast cancer cells and cancer tissue. A higher level of hsa_circ_001783 was significantly correlated with heavier tumor burden and poorer prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Knockdown of this circRNA remarkably inhibited the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells. Importantly, hsa_circ_001783 promoted progression of breast cancer cells via sponging miR-200c-3p. Taken together, hsa_circ_001783 may serve as a novel prognostic and therapeutic target for breast cancer.

TBX2 Drives Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer through Exosome-Mediated Repression of miR-200c-3p.

Project description:Deciphering the mechanisms that drive transdifferentiation to neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is crucial to identifying novel therapeutic strategies against this lethal and aggressive subtype of advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Further, the role played by exosomal microRNAs (miRs) in mediating signaling mechanisms that propagate the NEPC phenotype remains largely elusive. The unbiased differential miR expression profiling of human PCa cells genetically modulated for TBX2 expression led to the identification of miR-200c-3p. Our findings have unraveled the TBX2/miR-200c-3p/SOX2/N-MYC signaling axis in NEPC transdifferentiation. Mechanistically, we found that: (1) TBX2 binds to the promoter and represses the expression of miR-200c-3p, a miR reported to be lost in castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and (2) the repression of miR-200c-3p results in the increased expression of its targets SOX2 and N-MYC. In addition, the rescue of mir-200c-3p in the context of TBX2 blockade revealed that miR-200c-3p is the critical intermediary effector in TBX2 regulation of SOX2 and N-MYC. Further, our studies show that in addition to the intracellular mode, TBX2/miR-200c-3p/SOX2/N-MYC signaling can promote NEPC transdifferentiation via exosome-mediated intercellular mechanism, an increasingly recognized and key mode of propagation of the NEPC phenotype.

Effect of miR-200c-3p overexpression on primary human macrophages

Project description:Macrophages constitute a major part of the tumor-infiltrating immune cells and within the tumor microenvironment acquire an alternatively activated, tumor-supporting phenotype. Factors released by tumor cells are crucial for the recruitment of tumor-associated macrophages. In the present project, we aimed to understand the role of miR-200c in the interplay between tumor cells and macrophages. To this end, we employed a coculture system of MCF7 breast tumor cells and primary human macrophages and observed a substantial transfer of miR-200c from apoptotic tumor cells to macrophages, which required intact CD36 receptor in macrophages. We further comprehensively determined miR-200c targets in macrophages by mRNA-sequencing and found numerous migration-associated mRNAs to be downregulated by miR-200c. Consequently, miR-200c attenuated macrophage infiltration into 3-dimensional tumor spheroids. The miR-200c-mediated reduction of infiltration further correlated well with a miR-200c migration signature comprised of four miR-200c-repressed targets (PPM1F, RAB11FIB2, RDX, MSN).

Identification of miR-31-5p, miR-141-3p, miR-200c-3p, and GLT1 as human liver aging markers sensitive to donor-recipient age-mismatch in transplants.

Project description:To understand why livers from aged donors are successfully used for transplants, we looked for markers of liver aging in 71 biopsies from donors aged 12-92 years before transplants and in 11 biopsies after transplants with high donor-recipient age-mismatch. We also assessed liver function in 36 age-mismatched recipients. The major findings were the following: (i) miR-31-5p, miR-141-3p, and miR-200c-3p increased with age, as assessed by microRNAs (miRs) and mRNA transcript profiling in 12 biopsies and results were validated by RT-qPCR in a total of 58 biopsies; (ii) telomere length measured by qPCR in 45 samples showed a significant age-dependent shortage; (iii) a bioinformatic approach combining transcriptome and miRs data identified putative miRs targets, the most informative being GLT1, a glutamate transporter expressed in hepatocytes. GLT1 was demonstrated by luciferase assay to be a target of miR-31-5p and miR-200c-3p, and both its mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (immunohistochemistry) significantly decreased with age in liver biopsies and in hepatic centrilobular zone, respectively; (iv) miR-31-5p, miR-141-3p and miR-200c-3p expression was significantly affected by recipient age (older environment) as assessed in eleven cases of donor-recipient extreme age-mismatch; (v) the analysis of recipients plasma by N-glycans profiling, capable of assessing liver functions and biological age, showed that liver function recovered after transplants, independently of age-mismatch, and recipients apparently 'rejuvenated' according to their glycomic age. In conclusion, we identified new markers of aging in human liver, their relevance in donor-recipient age-mismatches in transplantation, and offered positive evidence for the use of organs from old donors.

HDAC7-mediated control of tumour microenvironment maintains proliferative and stemness competence of human mammary epithelial cells.

Project description:HDAC7 is a pleiotropic transcriptional coregulator that controls different cellular fates. Here, we demonstrate that in human mammary epithelial cells, HDAC7 sustains cell proliferation and favours a population of stem-like cells, by maintaining a proficient microenvironment. In particular, HDAC7 represses a repertoire of cytokines and other environmental factors, including elements of the insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway, IGFBP6 and IGFBP7. This HDAC7-regulated secretome signature predicts negative prognosis for luminal A breast cancers. ChIP-seq experiments revealed that HDAC7 binds locally to the genome, more frequently distal from the transcription start site. HDAC7 can colocalize with H3K27-acetylated domains and its deletion further increases H3K27ac at transcriptionally active regions. HDAC7 levels are increased in RAS-transformed cells, in which this protein was required not only for proliferation and cancer stem-like cell growth, but also for invasive features. We show that an important direct target of HDAC7 is IL24, which is sufficient to suppress the growth of cancer stem-like cells.

miR-197-3p Promotes Osteosarcoma Stemness and Chemoresistance by Inhibiting SPOPL.

Project description:First-line treatment for osteosarcoma includes chemotherapy and surgery. However, the five-year survival rate of refractory osteosarcoma remains unsatisfactory. Osteosarcoma cancer stem cells, possessing stemness and chemoresistance, are one of the critical causes of poor response to chemotherapy. Elucidating regulatory signaling pathways of osteosarcoma cancer stem cells may provide a rationale for improving regimens against chemoresistant osteosarcoma. Methotrexate (MTX)-resistant osteosarcoma cells were established. microRNA expression profiles were used for detecting differentially expressed microRNA in resistant clones and the parental cells. microRNA target databases were employed to predict potential microRNA and mRNA interactions. Flow cytometry was performed to measure stem cell marker Prominin-1 (CD133)-positive cells. Immunofluorescence staining was applied to detect CD133 expression. miR-197-3p mimic or anti-miR-197-3p stably transfected cells were used to generate xenograft models. In the study, we found that miR-197-3p was increased in MTX-resistant cell lines. Overexpression of miR-197-3p enhanced the expression of cancer stem cell markers CD133, Octamer-binding protein 4 (OCT4), Transcription factor SOX-2 (SOX2), and Homeobox protein NANOG (NANOG), as well as chemoresistance-associated genes ATP-dependent translocase ABCB1 (ABCB1) and Broad substrate specificity ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 (ABCG2), whereas miR-197-3p knockdown inhibited stemness and recovered sensitivity to MTX. We also classified the tumor suppressor Speckle-type POZ protein-like (SPOPL) as a target of miR-197-3p. The miR-197-3p mutation that could not combine SPOPL promoter regions was unable to sustain stemness or chemoresistance. Collectively, we discovered miR-197-3p conferred osteosarcoma stemness and chemotherapy resistance by targeting SPOPL, prompting promising therapeutic candidates for refractory osteosarcoma treatment.

Delivery of miR-200c-3p Using Tumor-Targeted Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Breast Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Despite advances in breast cancer treatment, it remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. In this context, microRNAs have emerged as potential therapeutic targets but still present some limitations for in vivo applications. Particularly, miR-200c-3p is a well-known tumor suppressor microRNA that inhibits tumor progression and metastasis in breast cancer through downregulating ZEB1 and ZEB2. Based on the above, we describe the design and validation of a nanodevice using mesoporous silica nanoparticles for miR-200c-3p delivery for breast cancer treatment. We demonstrate the biocompatibility of the synthesized nanodevices as well as their ability to escape from endosomes/lysosomes and inhibit tumorigenesis, invasion, migration, and proliferation of tumor cells in vitro. Moreover, tumor targeting and effective delivery of miR-200c-3p from the nanoparticles in vivo are confirmed in an orthotopic breast cancer mouse model, and the therapeutic efficacy is also evidenced by a decrease in tumor size and lung metastasis, while showing no signs of toxicity. Overall, our results provide evidence that miR-200c-3p-loaded nanoparticles are a potential strategy for breast cancer therapy and a safe and effective system for tumor-targeted delivery of microRNAs.
