FOXO1-suppressed miR-424 regulates the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by targeting FGF2 under oxidative stress.

ABSTRACT: Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as key regulators of the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Our previous in vivo study and other in vitro studies using miRNA microarrays suggest that miR-424 is involved in the regulation of bone formation. However, the role and mechanism of miR-424 in bone formation still remain unknown. Here, we identified that the downregulation of miR-424 mediates bone formation under oxidative stress, and we explored its underlying mechanism. Our results showed that miR-424 was significantly downregulated in an anterior lumbar interbody fusion model of pigs and in a cell model of oxidative stress induced by H2O2. The overexpression of miR-424 inhibited proliferation and osteogenic differentiation shown by a decrease in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization and osteogenic markers, including RUNX2 and ALP, whereas the knockdown of miR-424 led to the opposite results. Moreover, miR-424 exerts its effects by targeting FGF2. Furthermore, we found that FOXO1 suppressed miR-424 expression and bound to its promoter region. FOXO1 enhanced proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in part through the miR-424/FGF2 pathway. These results indicated that FOXO1-suppressed miR-424 regulates both the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs via targeting FGF2, suggesting that miR-424 might be a potential novel therapeutic strategy for promoting bone formation.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To investigate role of microRNA-1/Golgi phosphoprotein 3/Foxo1 axis in bladder cancer. METHODS:The expression of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was determined in both bladder cancer tissues and cell lines using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively. Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was knocked down by small hairpin RNA. MicroRNA-1 was overexpressed or inhibited by microRNA-1 mimic or inhibitor. Cell viability and proliferation were determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT) and colony-formation assay. Cell apoptosis and cycle was detected using flow cytometer. The expression of microRNA-1 and Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting was used to test the expression of Golgi phosphoprotein 3, Foxo1, p-Foxo1, AKT, p-AKT, p27, and CyclinD1. Binding between microRNA-1 and Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was confirmed by Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay. RESULTS:MicroRNA-1 was downregulated in bladder cancer tissues, while Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was overexpressed in bladder cancer cells and tissues. In both bladder cancer 5637 and T24 cell lines, the cell viability and proliferation were dramatically reduced when Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was knocked down. The inhibition of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 remarkably promoted cell apoptosis and induced cell-cycle arrest, as well as decreased the expression of p-Foxo1, p-AKT, and CyclinD1 and increased the expression of p27. The overexpression of microRNA-1 significantly inhibited cell viability and proliferation, induced G-S cell-cycle arrest, and decreased the expression of Golgi phosphoprotein 3, p-Foxo1, and CyclinD1 and upregulated p27, while inhibition of microRNA-1 led to opposite results. Golgi phosphoprotein 3 was a direct target for microRNA-1. CONCLUSION:Overexpression of microRNA-1 inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell-cycle arrest of bladder cancer cells through targeting Golgi phosphoprotein 3 and regulation of Foxo1.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of bone development and regeneration. The aim of the present study was to determine whether miR-203a-3p.1 is involved in osteogenic differentiation of multiple myeloma (MM)-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the potential underlying mechanism. MSCs were isolated from patients with MM and normal subjects and confirmed by flow cytometry using specific surface markers. The osteogenic differentiation capacity of MM-MSCs was identified by Alizarin Red S calcium deposition staining and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) of typical osteoblast differentiation markers. The role of miR-203a-3p.1 in the osteoblast differentiation of MM-MSCs was determined by gain or loss of function experiments. The target of miR-203a-3p.1 was identified using bioinformatics (including the miRNA target prediction database TargetScan, miRDB, DIANA TOOLS and venny 2.1.0), luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR and western blotting. The expression levels of proteins involved in the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway were detected by western blot analysis. The results revealed that the osteogenic differentiation capacity of MM-MSCs was reduced when compared with normal (N)-MSCs, as demonstrated by a decrease in calcium deposition and mRNA expression of typical osteoblast differentiation markers, including ALP, OPN and OC. In addition, miR-203a-3p.1 was downregulated in N-MSCs following osteoblast induction, whereas no changes were observed in MM-MSCs. The downregulation of miR-203a-3p.1 resulted in increased osteogenic potential, as indicated by the increase in the mRNA expression levels of the typical osteoblast differentiation markers, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OC). Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assay analysis indicated that mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 9 (Smad9) may be a direct target of miR-203a-3p.1 in N-MSCs. The RT-qPCR and western blot assays revealed that overexpression of smad9 significantly enhanced the effect of miR-203a-3p.1 inhibitors on osteoblast markers, which indicated that miR-203a-3p.1 inhibitors may regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MM-MSCs by upregulating Smad9. In addition, the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway was activated following miR-203a-3p.1 inhibition. These results suggest that miR-203a-3p.1 may serve an important role in the osteogenic differentiation of MM-MSCs by regulating Smad9 expression.
