MiR-155 regulates immune modulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells by targeting TAK1-binding protein 2.

ABSTRACT: MSCs possess potent immunosuppressive capacity. We have reported that mouse MSCs inhibit T cell proliferation and function via nitric oxide. This immune regulatory capacity of MSCs is induced by the inflammatory cytokines IFN? together with either TNF? or IL-1?. This effect of inflammatory cytokines on MSCs is extraordinary; logarithmic increases in the expression of iNOS and chemokines are often observed. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying this robust effect of cytokines, we examined the expression of microRNAs in MSCs before and after cytokine treatment. We found that miR-155 is most significantly up-regulated. Furthermore, our results showed that miR-155 inhibits the immunosuppressive capacity of MSCs by reducing iNOS expression. We further demonstrated that miR-155 targets TAK1-binding protein 2 (TAB2) to regulate iNOS expression. Additionally, knockdown of TAB2 reduced iNOS expression. In summary, our study demonstrated that miR-155 inhibits the immunosuppressive capacity of MSCs by reducing iNOS expression by targeting TAB2. Our data revealed a novel role of miR-155 in regulating the immune modulatory activities of MSCs.

MSCs possess potent immunosuppressive capacity. We have reported that mouse MSCs inhibit T cell proliferation and function via nitric oxide. This immune regulatory capacity of MSCs is induced by the inflammatory cytokines IFNγ together with either TNFα or IL-1β. This effect of inflammatory cytokines on MSCs is extraordinary; logarithmic increases in the expression of iNOS and chemokines are often observed. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying this robust effect of cytokines, we exa ...[more]

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a cardiovascular disease that has high incidence and causes massive deaths. miR-155-5p/PYGL pathway was revealed to play a crucial role in PAH by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The potential mechanism of miR-155-5p in regulating hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) function was analyzed through in vitro experiments. Hypoxia treatment stimulated the proliferation of PASMCs and increased the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). At the same time, revealed by qRT-PCR and western blot, the level of miR-155-5p was raised, and the level of PYGL was decreased in hypoxia-induced PASMCs. Through CCK-8 assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry, it was revealed that miR-155-5p inhibitor remarkably inhibited the cell proliferation and migration and decreased the proportion of hypoxia-stimulated PASMCs in S and G2/M phases. Dual-luciferase reporter system was subsequently applied to validate the straight regulation of miR-155-5p on PYGL based on the analysis of online database. Furthermore, siPYGL was revealed to reverse the influence of miR-155-5p inhibitor on hypoxia-induced PASMCs. These outcomes indicate that the increased level of miR-155-5p in hypoxia-stimulated PASMCs could enhance the cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell cycle progression by targeting PYGL directly. This study may supply novel treatment strategies for PAH.Abbreviations: PH, pulmonary hypertension; PAH, pulmonary arterial hypertension; WGCNA, weighted gene co-expression network analysis; PASMCs, pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; HIF-1α, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α; SMCs, smooth muscle cells; DEGs, differentially expressed genes; GEO, Gene Expression Omnibus; GO, Gene Ontology; KEGG, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes; FBS, fetal bovine serum; OD, optical density; BCA, bicinchoninic acid; PVDF, polyvinylidene fluoride; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; BP, biological process; MF, molecular function; CC, cell component.
