Gga-miR-130b-3p inhibits MSB1 cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and its downregulation in MD tumor is attributed to hypermethylation.

ABSTRACT: Marek's disease is an oncogenic and lymphoproliferative disease of chickens caused by Marek's disease virus. Hypermethylation or hypomethylation of CpG islands in gene promoter region are involved in the initiation and progression of carcinogenesis. In this study, we analyzed differential methylation levels of upstream region of gga-miR-130b-3p gene between Marek's disease virus-infected tumorous and non-infected spleens. Around the upstream 1 kb of gga-miR-130b-3p gene, two amplicons were designed that covered 616 bp. There were forty-eight CpG sites in this region. CpG sites in this region presented higher methylation level in tumorous spleens compared with that in non-infected ones. There were eight CpG sites significantly hypermethylated in tumorous spleens. The expression level of three DNA methyltransferases including DNMT1, DNMT3a and DNMT3b increased and the expression level of Tet ten-eleven translocation protein 2 remarkably decreased in tumorous spleens. Hypermethylation in the upstream region of gga-miR-130b-3p gene might be a direct reason for its downregulation in MD tumorous tissues. Moreover, cell proliferation of Marek's disease lymphoblastoid cell line MDCC-MSB1 was remarkably inhibited at 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 h post-gga-miR-130b-3p-agomir transfection. The transwell migration assay indicated cell number of migration was significantly lower in miRNA agomir transfection group. Matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP9 are involved in tumor invasion, and their protein levels were significantly downregulated at 72 h post-miRNA-agomir transfection. Collectively, these results indicated that hypermethylation in upstream region of gga-miR-130b-3p gene contributed to its downregulation in tumorous tissues. Gga-miR-130b-3p plays an inhibitory role in lymphomatous cell transformation.

Project description:BackgroundMarek's disease (MD), a class II infectious, lymphoproliferative disease that mainly afflicts poultry, has been shown to cause wasting, limb paralysis, and often acute death. It is a neoplastic disease caused by a cell-binding herpesvirus that leads to the formation of tumors in various organs and tissues. Our previous reports have found that the microRNA, gga-miR-29b-3p, showed abnormal expression in MD lymphoma. However, it remains unknown whether gga-miR-29b-3p affects MD tumorigenesis.MethodsThe MD tumor cell line MSB1 was chosen to analyze the characteristics of gga-miR-29b-3p in tumors. Cell proliferation and migration were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell, respectively, and cell apoptosis and cycle were analyzed via fluorescent staining and flow cytometry, respectively. The regulation between gga-miR-29b-3p and its potential target genes was verified by dual luciferase results and loss-of-function assays. The effect of target genes was verified by examining the degree of RNA interference on MSB1 cells.ResultsAnalysis revealed that gga-miR-29b-3p impaired the proliferation of the MSB1 MD tumor cell line, induced apoptosis without obvious effects on the cell cycle, and suppressed the expression of the invasion-associated MMP2 and MMP9 genes. It was concluded that DNMT3B is the direct target of gga-miR-29b-3p. As expected, the effects of DNMT3B knockdown with small interfering RNA (siRNA) on MSB1 cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cycle were associated with gga-miR-29b-3p overexpression. Moreover, BCL2 and BCL2L1 were downregulated and TNFSF10 was upregulated in both the gga-miR-29b-3p overexpression and DNMT3B knockdown groups. The expression levels of invasion-related genes were decreased post-DNMT3B knockdown. In both the gga-miR-29b-3p overexpression and DNMT3B knockdown conditions, a decrease in MEQ oncogene expression in MD virus was observed.ConclusionsOverall, gga-miR-29b-3p was demonstrated to have a suppressive effect in MD lymphoma progression via the targeting of the DNMT3B gene. Gga-miR-29b-3p overexpression and DNMT3B knockdown inhibited MSB1 cell proliferation through suppressing the pro-apoptotic gene expression and elevating the anti-apoptotic gene expression in the apoptosis pathway. Our study provides a theoretical basis for targeted treatment of MD.
