Genistein promotes M1 macrophage apoptosis and reduces inflammatory response by disrupting miR-21/TIPE2 pathway

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of mortality, and vascular injury, a common pathological basis of cardiovascular disease, is deeply correlated with macrophage apoptosis and inflammatory response. Genistein, a type of phytoestrogen, exerts cardiovascular protective activities, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, RAW264.7 cells were treated with genistein, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibitor, and/or protein kinase B (AKT) agonist to determine the role of genistein in apoptosis and inflammation in LPS-stimulated cells. Simultaneously, high fat diet-fed C57BL/6 mice were administered genistein to evaluate the function of genistein on LPS-induced cardiovascular injury mouse model. Here, we demonstrated that LPS obviously increased apoptosis resistance and inflammatory response of macrophages by promoting miR-21 expression, and miR-21 downregulated tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) expression by targeting the coding region. Genistein reduced miR-21 expression by inhibiting NF-κB, then blocked toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway and AKT phosphorylation dependent on TIPE2, resulting in inhibition of LPS. Our research suggests that miR-21/TIPE2 pathway is involved in M1 macrophage apoptosis and inflammatory response, and genistein inhibits the progression of LPS-induced cardiovascular injury at the epigenetic level via regulating the promoter region of Vmp1 by NF-κB.

TIPE2 May Target the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway to Inhibit M1 Macrophage-Related Neutrophilic Inflammation in Asthma.

Project description:PurposeAlthough recent studies have highlighted the link of TIPE2 and asthma airway inflammation, its roles and molecular mechanisms in different asthma inflammatory phenotypes remain largely unknown. We evaluated sputum TIPE2 expression level and its correlation with different asthma phenotypes. Additionally, we explored the roles and mechanism of TIPE2 in M1 polarization of macrophages.MethodsA total of 102 asthma patients who underwent sputum induction were enrolled to evaluate the expression level of TIPE2 and its association with different asthma phenotypes. To explore the roles and mechanism of TIPE2 in M1 polarization of macrophages, THP-1 monocytes stimulated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, were used as a model of undifferentiated (M0) macrophages, and M0 macrophages were treated with lipopolysaccharide to induce M1 macrophages.ResultsThe sputum TIPE2 level was significantly lower in patients with neutrophilic asthma (NA) and higher in patients with eosinophilic asthma (EA) compared with patients with paucigranulocytic asthma. The levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were highest in NA compared with other groups. TIPE2 levels in sputum negatively correlated with IL-1β and TNF-α levels but positively correlated with IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-10 levels (P < 0.05). In vitro, TIPE2 enhanced Nrf2/HO-1 pathway activation in macrophages and inhibited LPS-induced M1 macrophage differentiation and related cytokine release. Further analysis showed that the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 weakened TIPE2-induced activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, as well as TIPE2-induced suppression in M1 polarization of macrophage and inflammatory cytokines secretion.ConclusionsTIPE2 expression level was highly down-regulated in NA and was negatively correlated with inflammatory factors (IL-1β and TNF-α). Aberrant expression of TIPE2 may target the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to inhibit M1 macrophage-related neutrophilic inflammation in asthma.

Macrophage deficiency of miR-21 promotes apoptosis, plaque necrosis, and vascular inflammation during atherogenesis.

Project description:Atherosclerosis, the major cause of cardiovascular disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the artery wall. Aberrant expression of microRNAs has been implicated in the pathophysiological processes underlying the progression of atherosclerosis. Here, we define the contribution of miR-21 in hematopoietic cells during atherogenesis. Interestingly, we found that miR-21 is the most abundant miRNA in macrophages and its absence results in accelerated atherosclerosis, plaque necrosis, and vascular inflammation. miR-21 expression influences foam cell formation, sensitivity to ER-stress-induced apoptosis, and phagocytic clearance capacity. Mechanistically, we discovered that the absence of miR-21 in macrophages increases the expression of the miR-21 target gene, MKK3, promoting the induction of p38-CHOP and JNK signaling. Both pathways enhance macrophage apoptosis and promote the post-translational degradation of ABCG1, a transporter that regulates cholesterol efflux in macrophages. Altogether, these findings reveal a major role for hematopoietic miR-21 in atherogenesis.

LNA-anti-miR-150 alleviates renal interstitial fibrosis by reducing pro-inflammatory M1/M2 macrophage polarization.

Project description:Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathological feature contributing to chronic injury and maladaptive repair following acute kidney injury. Currently, there is no effective therapy for RIF. We have reported that locked nuclear acid (LNA)-anti-miR-150 antagonizes pro-fibrotic pathways in human renal tubular cells by regulating the suppressor of cytokine signal 1 (SOCS1)/Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. In the present study, we aimed to clarify whether LNA-anti-miR-150 attenuates folic acid-induced RIF mice by regulating this pathway and by reducing pro-inflammatory M1/M2 macrophage polarization. We found that renal miR-150 was upregulated in folic acid-induced RIF mice at day 30 after injection. LNA-anti-miR-150 alleviated the degree of RIF, as shown by periodic acid-Schiff and Masson staining and by the expression of pro-fibrotic proteins, including alpha-smooth muscle actin and fibronectin. In RIF mice, SOCS1 was downregulated, and p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 were upregulated. LNA-anti-miR-150 reversed the changes in renal SOCS1, p-JAK1, and p-STAT1 expression. In addition, renal infiltration of total macrophages, pro-inflammatory M1 and M2 macrophages as well as their secreted cytokines were increased in RIF mice compared to control mice. Importantly, in folic acid-induced RIF mice, LNA-anti-miR-150 attenuated the renal infiltration of total macrophages and pro-inflammatory subsets, including M1 macrophages expressing CD11c and M2 macrophages expressing CD206. We conclude that the anti-renal fibrotic role of LNA-anti-miR-150 in folic acid-induced RIF mice may be mediated by reducing pro-inflammatory M1 and M2 macrophage polarization via the SOCS1/JAK1/STAT1 pathway.

Therapeutic miR-21 Silencing Reduces Cardiac Fibrosis and Modulates Inflammatory Response in Chronic Chagas Disease.

Project description:Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), remains a serious public health problem for which there is no effective treatment in the chronic stage. Intense cardiac fibrosis and inflammation are hallmarks of chronic Chagas disease cardiomyopathy (CCC). Previously, we identified upregulation of circulating and cardiac miR-21, a pro-fibrotic microRNA (miRNA), in subjects with CCC. Here, we explored the potential role of miR-21 as a therapeutic target in a model of chronic Chagas disease. PCR array-based 88 microRNA screening was performed in heart samples obtained from C57Bl/6 mice chronically infected with T. cruzi and serum samples collected from CCC patients. MiR-21 was found upregulated in both human and mouse samples, which was corroborated by an in silico analysis of miRNA-mRNA target prediction. In vitro miR-21 functional assays (gain-and loss-of-function) were performed in cardiac fibroblasts, showing upregulation of miR-21 and collagen expression upon transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) and T. cruzi stimulation, while miR-21 blockage reduced collagen expression. Finally, treatment of T. cruzi-infected mice with locked nucleic acid (LNA)-anti-miR-21 inhibitor promoted a significant reduction in cardiac fibrosis. Our data suggest that miR-21 is a mediator involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis and indicates the pharmacological silencing of miR-21 as a potential therapeutic approach for CCC.

miR-21 Inhibition Reduces Liver Fibrosis and Prevents Tumor Development by Inducing Apoptosis of CD24+ Progenitor Cells.

Project description:miR-21 is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, where it is associated with poor prognosis. Here, we offer preclinical evidence that miR-21 offers a therapeutic and chemopreventive target in these liver cancers. In mice with hepatic deletion of Pten, anti-miR-21 treatment reduced liver tumor growth and prevented tumor development. These effects were accompanied with a decrease in liver fibrosis and a concomitant reduction of CD24(+) liver progenitor cells and S100A4(+) cancer-associated stromal cells. Notch2 inhibition also occurred in tumors following anti-miR-21 treatment. We further showed that miR-21 is necessary for the survival of CD24(+) progenitor cells, a cellular phenotype mediated by Notch2, osteopontin, and integrin αv. Our results identify miR-21 as a key regulator of tumor-initiating cell survival, malignant development, and growth in liver cancer, highlighting the role of CD24(+) cells in the expansion of S100A4(+) cancer-associated stromal cells and associated liver fibrosis.

RNA editing enzyme APOBEC3A promotes pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization.

Project description:Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization is associated with microbicidal and antitumor responses. We recently described APOBEC3A-mediated cytosine-to-uracil (C > U) RNA editing during M1 polarization. However, the functional significance of this editing is unknown. Here we find that APOBEC3A-mediated cellular RNA editing can also be induced by influenza or Maraba virus infections in normal human macrophages, and by interferons in tumor-associated macrophages. Gene knockdown and RNA_Seq analyses show that APOBEC3A mediates C>U RNA editing of 209 exonic/UTR sites in 203 genes during M1 polarization. The highest level of nonsynonymous RNA editing alters a highly-conserved amino acid in THOC5, which encodes a nuclear mRNA export protein implicated in M-CSF-driven macrophage differentiation. Knockdown of APOBEC3A reduces IL6, IL23A and IL12B gene expression, CD86 surface protein expression, and TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 cytokine secretion, and increases glycolysis. These results show a key role of APOBEC3A cytidine deaminase in transcriptomic and functional polarization of M1 macrophages.

TIPE2 governs macrophage polarization via negative regulation of mTORC1.

Project description:Macrophages can be polarized into the inflammatory M1 lineage or the immunomodulatory M2 lineage, depending on the differential tissue microenvironment signaling, specific pathogens or cytokine stimulation. Tumor necrosis factor α‑induced protein 8‑like protein 2 (TIPE2) has been demonstrated to negatively regulate inflammation by inhibiting the Toll‑like receptor (TLR) pathway. The present study utilized murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) as the model of undifferentiated (M0) macrophages to study the roles of TIPE2 in the differential polarization status of BMDMs. It was observed that the expression levels of TIPE2 were diminished in M1 macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide/interferon γ, and elevated in M2 macrophages treated with interleukin (IL)‑4. BMDMs with TIPE2 overexpression exhibited defective M1 polarization and enhanced responses to IL‑4 stimulation. TIPE2 impeded M1 polarization by interfering with mitogen‑activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7‑inhibitor of nuclear factor‑κB kinase subunit β and B cell receptor‑associated protein‑serine/threonine‑protein kinase mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activation. TIPE2 overexpression accelerated IL‑4 induced M2 polarization by dampening mTORC1 activation via the accelerated process of arginine to urea. Overall, these results define a key role for TIPE2 in macrophage polarization by impeding mTORC1 response.

MiR-19a-3p Suppresses M1 Macrophage Polarization by Inhibiting STAT1/IRF1 Pathway.

Project description:Macrophages, an important type of immune cells, are generally polarized to classically activated macrophage (M1) or alternatively activated macrophage (M2) to respond to environmental stimuli. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), a very important transcription factor, can promote M1 macrophage polarization. However, the mechanisms of regulating STAT1 in macrophage polarization remain unclear. In the present study, STAT1 was markedly elevated, however, miR-19a-3p was down-regulated in interferon (IFN)-γ and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated RAW264.7 cells, and dual-luciferase reporter assay identified that miR-19a-3p directly targeted STAT1 by binding to its 3'UTR. Up-regulated miR-19a-3p inhibited M1 polarization by targeting STAT1/interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) and vice versa in vitro. Consistently, overexpression of miR-19a-3p in LPS treated mice by systemically administering agomiR-19a-3p effectively reduced the inflammation in mouse lung tissues, and inhibited M1 macrophage polarization via suppressing STAT1/IRF1 pathway. In summary, our study confirmed that miR-19a-3p, as a direct regulator of STAT1, inhibited M1 macrophages polarization. The miR-19a-3p/STAT1/IRF1 pathway can potentially be used to design novel immunotherapy for modulating macrophage polarization.

miR-30c-5p Reduces Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Involving Macrophage.

Project description:BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) leads to kidney injury. Renal I/R frequently occurs in kidney transplantations and acute kidney injuries. Recent studies reported that miR-30 stimulated immune responses and reductions in renal I/R related to anti-inflammation. Our study investigated the effects of miR-30c-5p on renal I/R and the relationship among miR-30c-5p, renal I/R, and macrophages. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sprague Dawley rats received intravenous tail injections of miR-30c-5p agomir. Then a renal I/R model were established by removing the left kidney and clamping the right renal artery. Serum creatinine (Cr) was analyzed using a serum Cr assay kit, and serum neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) was measured using a NGAL ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit. Rat kidney tissues were analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. THP-1 cells treated with miR-30c-5p agomir and miR-30c-5p antagomir were measured with quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Protein levels were analyzed by western blot. RESULTS MiR-30c-5p agomir reduced serum Cr, serum NGAL, and renal I/R injury. MiR-30c-5p agomir inhibited the expression of CD86 (M1 macrophage marker), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and promoted the expression of CD206 (M2 macrophage marker), interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-10 in rat kidneys. MiR-30c-5p agomir reduced the expression of CD86 and iNOS, and increased the expression of CD206 and IL-10 in THP-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS We preliminarily demonstrated that miR-30c-5p agomir might decrease renal I/R through transformation of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages and resulted in changes in inflammatory cytokines.

miR-146b suppresses LPS-induced M1 macrophage polarization via inhibiting the FGL2-activated NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway in inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:ObjectivesM1 macrophage polarization and phenotype in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are common biological responses.MethodHerein, IBD mice models were constructed and macrophages were derived.ResultsIt was discovered that microRNA-146b (miR-146b) was downregulated in IBD mice and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages. Moreover, the inhibitory role of overexpressed miR-146b in reducing the inflammation level and blocking M1 macrophage polarization was confirmed. Further investigation indicated that Fibrinogen Like 2 (FGL2) acted as the target gene of miR-146b, and FGL2 mediated activation of NLRP3, NF-κB-p65, and p38-MAPK. More importantly, it was validated that miR-146b could ameliorate inflammatory phenotype and prevent M1 macrophage polarization via inhibiting FGL2 in vitro, and miR-146b overexpression alleviated the intestinal injury of IBD mice in vivo.ConclusionsOverall, it is potential to use miR-146b for the amelioration of IBD.
