MicroRNA Bta-miR-24-3p Suppressed Galectin-9 Expression through TLR4/NF-ĸB Signaling Pathway in LPS-Stimulated Bovine Endometrial Epithelial Cells.

ABSTRACT: Endometritis is a major infectious disease affecting dairy development. MicroRNAs are recognized as critical regulators of the innate immune response. However, the role and mechanism of Bta-miR-24-3p in the development of endometritis are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Bta-miR-24-3p on the inflammatory response triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to clarify the possible mechanism. LPS-treated bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEECs) were cultured to investigate the role of Bta-miR-24-3p. The expression levels of Bta-miR-24-3p were downregulated, and galectin-9 (LGALS9) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The LPS-induced inflammatory response was assessed by the elevated secretion of inflammatory cytokines measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and TLR4 pathway was assessed by Western blot. The interaction between Bta-miR-24-3p and LGALS9 was validated by bioinformatics analysis and a luciferase reporter assay. LPS-induction in BEECs with Bta-miR-24-3p was overexpressed leads inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, LGALS9 expression, and TLR4/NF-ĸB pathway deactivation. Knockdown of LGALS9 inhibited the LPS-induced inflammatory response in BEECs. LGALS9 was validated as a target of Bta-miR-24-3p. Cloned overexpression of LGALS9 failed to alter the effect of Bta-miR-24-3p on the inflammatory response in BEECs. Overall, Bta-miR-24-3p attenuated the LPS-induced inflammatory response via targeting LGALS9. The immunotherapeutic stabilisation of Bta-miR-24-3p could give a therapeutic option for endometritis and other disorders commonly associated with endometritis, suggesting a novel avenue for endometritis treatment.

Project description:Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and has been used to relieve pain and control inflammation in cows with metritis and endometritis. Meloxicam has been found to be effective in inhibiting tissue or cell growth when it is used as an anti-inflammatory therapy. However, the influence of meloxicam on bovine endometrial regeneration has not been reported. This study was to research the effect of meloxicam (0.5 and 5 μM) on the proliferation of primary bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEECs) stimulated by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. The cell viability, cell cycle, and cell proliferation were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, and cell scratch test, respectively. The mRNA transcriptions of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1) and PTGS2, Toll-like receptor 4, and proliferation factors were detected using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The activations of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and Wnt/β-catenin pathways were determined using western blot and immunofluorescence. As a result, co-treatment of meloxicam and lipopolysaccharide inhibited (P < 0.05) the cell cycle progression and reduced (P < 0.05) the cell healing rate and the mRNA level of proliferation factors as compared with the cells treated with lipopolysaccharide alone. Meloxicam decreased (P < 0.05) the lipopolysaccharide-induced PTGS2 gene expression. Neither lipopolysaccharide nor meloxicam changed PTGS1 mRNA abundance (P > 0.05). Meloxicam inhibited (P < 0.05) the lipopolysaccharide-activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway by reducing (P < 0.05) the protein levels of β-catenin, c-Myc, cyclin D1, and glycogen synthase kinase-3β and prevented the lipopolysaccharide-induced β-catenin from entering the nucleus. Meloxicam suppressed (P < 0.05) the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT. In conclusion, meloxicam alone did not influence the cell cycle progression or the cell proliferation in BEEC but caused cell cycle arrest and inhibited cell proliferation in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BEEC. This inhibitory effect of meloxicam was probably mediated by Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT pathways.
