MicroRNA-26b-5p Targets DAPK1 to Reduce Intestinal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Inhibition of Intestinal Mucosal Cell Apoptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence has suggested that miRNAs are important regulators of intestinal I/R injury, but their function in this context remains elusive.

Aims

To evaluate the role of miR-26b-5p in intestinal I/R injury.

Methods

We utilized in vivo murine models of intestinal I/R and in vitro Mode-K cell-based models of oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) to examine the function of miR-26b-5p in intestinal I/R injury. The expression of miR-26b-5p in intestinal mucosa and Mode-K cell was detected by RT-PCR. HE staining and Chiu's score were used to evaluate intestinal mucosa injury severity. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL stain, flow cytometry, and western blot. TargetScan and StarBase prediction algorithms were applied to predict putative target genes of miR-26b-5p and validated by luciferase reporter analyses.

Results

We found that the expression of miR-26b-5p in intestinal mucosa was markedly decreased during I/R injury. We additionally found miR-26b-5p overexpression to markedly disrupt intestinal I/R- or OGD/R-induced injury in vivo and in vitro, whereas inhibiting this miRNA had an adverse impact and resulted in increased intestinal tissue injury and Mode-K cell damage. From a mechanistic perspective, miR-26b-5p was predicted to target DAPK1, which was related to cellular apoptosis. Luciferase reporter assay results confirmed that miR-26b-5p directly targets DAPK1 in Mode-K cells, thereby suppressing OGD/R-induced cell apoptosis.

Conclusion

Our findings show that miR-26b-5p may prevent intestinal I/R injury via targeting DAPK1 and inhibiting intestinal mucosal cell apoptosis, suggesting that this miRNA may be a viable target for the treatment of intestinal I/R injury.

Project description:Early detection of acute kidney injury is difficult due to lack of known biomarkers; previous studies have tried to identify new biomarkers for detecting acute kidney injury at an early stage. MicroRNA, a 21-23 nucleotide noncoding RNA molecule, has emerged as a desirable marker in the diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases. This study aims to identify the expression profile of microRNA in ischemia-reperfusion-induced kidney injury and determine the possibility of using the candidate microRNA as biomarker for the detection of I/R-induced kidney injury. Based on the established rat model of I/R-induced kidney injury, a microarray analysis of rat urine was performed at the beginning of operation (0 h) as well as 72 h post operation. To validate the results, urine samples from 71 patients who underwent cardiac surgery were collected, after which urinalysis was conducted to determine the microRNA concentration. An alternative expression profile of microRNAs was detected in rat urine. The quantitative validation of microRNA showed that the expression of miR-30c-5p, miR-192-5p, and miR-378a-3p was elevated significantly in urine post operation, which was consistent with those of the microarray analysis and earlier than kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). In patients with acute kidney injury, increased levels of miR-30c-5p and miR-192-5p were also detected 2 h post operation, and miR-30c-5p showed preferable diagnostic value compared with protein-based biomarkers. In conclusion, an aberrant expression profile of microRNA was detected in rat urine based on the established ischemia-reperfusion animal model. Both miR-30c-5p and miR-192-5p served as important potential diagnostic markers for I/R-induced kidney injury. Impact statement Firstly, one differentiating factor in our study is that the candidate miRNAs were screened in a controlled animal model rather than in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) to ensure the purity of the cause of disease and to avoid possible effects of comorbidities on the spectrum of urine miRNA. This ensured the presence of only the relevant candidate miRNA (that associated with I/R injury); and what's more, the alterative expression of miR-192-5p and miR-30c-5p in animal model, patients with AKI, and cell model was confirmed simultaneously, which is likely to be more convincing. Secondly, the candidate miRNAs were screened sequentially at regular time points, which covered the initiation, progression, and partial repair stages, thus ensuring that no significant miRNAs were omitted in the screening process, and miR-biomarkers in 2 h post operation showed preferable diagnostic performance.

Project description:ObjectiveIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) is a common pathological injury in clinic, and the systemic inflammatory response it causes will lead to multiple organ damage and functional failure. miR-185-5p has been reported to be a regulator of inflammatory response and autophagy, but whether it participates in the regulation of autophagy in II/R is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the mechanism of miR-185-5p regulating intestinal barrier injury in (II/R).MethodsCaco-2 cells was induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to establish II/R model. The superior mesenteric artery of C57BL/6 mice was clamped for 45 min and then subjected to reperfusion for 4 h for the establishment of II/R mice model. miR-185-5p mimic, miR-185-5p inhibitor, pcDNA-autophagy-related 101 (ATG101) were respectively transfected into Caco-2 cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to assess miR-185-5p expression. Western blot detected the level of ATG101 and tight junction-associated proteins ZO1, Occludin, E-cadherin, β-catenin, as well as autophagy markers ATG5, ATG12, LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ, Beclin1 and SQSTM1. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values was detected by a resistance meter. FITC-Dextran was performed to measure cell permeability. 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) staining measured cell proliferation. Transmission electron microscope was conducted to observe autophagosomes. Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining observed the damage of mice intestinal. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) measured the percentage of ki67 positive cells. TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay assessed cell apoptosis in intestinal tissues of II/R. Dual-luciferase assay verified the targeting relationship between miR-185-5p and ATG101.Results miR-185-5p was overexpressed in OGD/R-induced Caco-2 cells and intestinal tissues of II/R mice. Knocking down miR-185-5p markedly promoted autophagy and TEER values, reduced cell permeability, and alleviated intestinal barrier damage. ATG101 was a target of miR-185-5p, and overexpression of ATG101 promoted autophagy and dampened OGD/R-induced intestinal barrier damage. Overexpression of miR-185-5p reversed the effect of overexpressed ATG101 on OGD/R-induced Caco-2 cells.ConclusionKnockdown of miR-185-5p enhanced autophagy and alleviated II/R intestinal barrier damage by targeting ATG101.

Project description:BackgroundRemote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon, whereby repeated, non-lethal episodes of ischemia to an organ or limb exert protection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in distant organs. Despite intensive research, there is still an apparent lack of knowledge concerning the RIPC-mediated mechanisms, especially in the intestine. Aim of this study was to evaluate possible protective effects RIPC on intestinal I/R injury.MethodsThirty rats were randomly assigned to four groups: I/R; I/R + RIPC; Sham; Sham + RIPC. Animals were anesthetized and the superior mesenteric artery was clamped for 30 min, followed by 60 min of reperfusion. RIPC-treated rats received 3 × 5 min of bilateral hindlimb I/R prior to surgery, sham groups obtained laparotomy without clamping. After I/R injury serum/tissue was analyzed for: Mucosal damage, Caspase-3/7 activity, expression of cell stress proteins, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) production, Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) protein expression and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity.ResultsIntestinal I/R resulted in increased mucosal injury (P < 0.001) and elevated Caspase-3/7 activity (P < 0.001). RIPC significantly reduced the histological signs of intestinal I/R injury (P < 0.01), but did not affect Caspase-3/7 activity. Proteome profiling suggested a RIPC-mediated regulation of several cell stress proteins after I/R injury: Cytochrome C (+ 157%); Cited-2 (- 39%), ADAMTS1 (+ 74%). Serum concentrations of H2O2 and MDA remained unchanged after RIPC, while the reduced intestinal injury was associated with increased HIF-1α levels. Measurements of MMP activities in serum and intestinal tissue revealed an attenuated gelatinase activity at 130 kDa within the serum samples (P < 0.001) after RIPC, while the activity of MMPs within the intestinal tissue was not affected by I/R injury or RIPC.ConclusionsRIPC ameliorates intestinal I/R injury in rats. The underlying mechanisms may involve HIF-1α protein expression and a decreased serum activity of a 130 kDa factor with gelatinase activity.
