Project description:Objectives Non-invasive staging of decompensated cirrhosis is an unmeet clinical need. The aims of this study were to characterize and validate a novel miRNA signature to stage decompensated cirrhosis and predict the portal pressure and cardiac dysfunction response to non-selective beta-blockers (NSBB). Design Serum samples from patients with decompensated cirrhosis (n=36) and healthy controls (n=36) were tested for a novel signature of five miRNAs (miR-452-5p, miR-429, miR-885-5p, miR-181b-5p, and miR-122-5p) identified in the secretome of primary human hepatocytes, and three miRNAs (miR-192-5p, miR-34a-5p and miR-29a-5p) previously discovered as biomarkers of chronic liver disease. All patients had ascites, that was refractory in 18 (50%), and were placed on NSBB for variceal bleeding prophylaxis. In all patients, serum miRNAs, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), and echocardiogram study was performed before and 1 month after NSBB. Results Cirrhotic patients had lower serum levels of miR-429, miR-885-5p, miR-181b-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-192-5p and miR-29a-5p (p<0.05). miR-452-5p and miR-429 expression were lower in NSBB responders (p=0.006). miR-181b-5p expression was greater in refractory- than in diuretic sensitive ascites (p=0.008) and correlated with serum creatinine. miR-452-5p and miR-885-5p were inversely correlated with baseline systemic vascular resistance (ρ=-0.46 p=0.007; and ρ=-0.41 p=0.01 respectively), and with diminished systolic contractility in patients with refractory ascites after NSBB (ρ=-0.55 p=0.02; and ρ=-0.55 p=0.02, respectively). Conclusion Analysis of a miRNA signature in serum distinguishes patients with decompensated cirrhosis who show more severe systemic circulatory dysfunction and compromised systolic function after beta-blockade, and those more likely to benefit from NSBB.

Project description:The lack of available biomarkers for diagnosing and predicting different stages of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently one of the main challenges that clinicians are facing. Recent evidence indicates that the plasma levels of specific miRNAs may be significantly modified in COVID-19 patients. Large-scale deep sequencing analysis of small RNA expression was performed on plasma samples from 40 patients hospitalized for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (between March and May 2020) (median 13.50 [IQR 9–24] days since symptoms initiation) and 21 healthy noninfected individuals. Patients were categorized as hospitalized not requiring oxygen therapy (n = 6), hospitalized requiring low-flow oxygen (n = 23), and hospitalized requiring high-flow oxygen support (n = 11). A total of 1218 different micro(mi)RNAs were identified. When compared with healthy noninfected donors, SARS-CoV-2 infected patients showed significantly (fold change [FC] >1.2 and adjusted p [padj] <0.05) altered expression of 190 miRNAs. The top 10 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were miR-122-5p, let-7b-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-342-3p, miR-146b-5p, miR-629-5p, miR-24-3p, miR-12136, let-7a-5p, and miR-191-5p, which displayed FC and padj values ranging from 153 to 5 and 2.51 × 10-32 to 2.21 × 10-21, respectively, which unequivocally diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection. No differences in blood cell counts and biochemical plasma parameters, including interleukin 6, ferritin and D-dimer, were observed between COVID-19 patients on high-flow oxygen therapy, low-flow oxygen therapy, or not requiring oxygen therapy. Notably, 31 significantly deregulated miRNAs were found when patients on high- and low-flow oxygen therapy were compared. Similarly, 6 DE miRNAs were identified between patients on high flow and those not requiring oxygen therapy. SARS-CoV-2 infection generates a specific miRNA signature in hospitalized patients. Furthermore, specific miRNA profiles are associated with COVID-19 prognosis in severe patients.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder, is characterized by chronic lung disease. Small non-coding RNAs are key regulators of gene expression and participate in various processes, which are dysregulated in CF; however, they remain poorly studied. Here, we determined the complete microRNAs (miRNAs) expression pattern in three CF ex-vivo models. The miRNA profiles of air-liquid interface cultures of airway epithelia (bronchi, nasal cells, and nasal polyps) samples from patients with CF and non-CF controls were obtained by deep sequencing. Compared with non-CF controls, several miRNAs were deregulated in CF samples, for instance miR-181a-5p and the miR-449 family were upregulated. Moreover, mature miRNAs often showed variations (i.e., isomiRs) relative to their reference sequence, such as miR-101, suggesting that miRNAs consist of heterogeneous repertoires of multiple isoforms with different effects on gene expression. Analysis of miR-181a-5p and miR-101-3p roles indicated that they regulate the expression of WISP1, a key component of cell proliferation/migration programs. We showed that miR-101 and miR-181a-5p participated in aberrant recapitulation of wound healing programs by controlling WISP1 mRNA and protein level. Our miRNA expression data bring new insights into CF physiopathology and define new potential therapeutic targets in CF

Project description:We aimed at extending the repertoire of high-quality miRNA normalizers for reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) of human plasma with special emphasis on the extremely guanine-cytosine-rich portion of the miRNome. For high-throughput selection of stable candidates, microarray technology was preferred over small-RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) since the latter underrepresented miRNAs with a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of at least 75% (p = 0.0002, n = 2). miRNA abundances measured on the microarray were ranked for consistency and uniformity using nine normalization approaches. The eleven most stable sequences included miRNAs of moderate, but also extreme GC content (45%–65%: miR-320d, miR-425-5p, miR-185-5p, miR-486-5p; 80%–95%: miR-1915-3p, miR-3656-5p, miR-3665-5p, miR-3960-5p, miR-4488-5p, miR-4497 and miR-4787-5p). In contrast, the seven extremely GC-rich miRNAs were not found in the two plasma miRNomes screened by sRNA-seq. Stem-loop RT-qPCR was employed for stability verification in 32 plasma samples of healthy male Caucasians (age range: 18–55 years). In general, inter-individual variance of miRNA abundance was low or very low as indicated by coefficient of variation (CV) values of 0.6%–8.2%. miR-3665 and miR-1915-3p outperformed in this analysis (CVs: 0.6 and 2.4%, respectively). The eight most stable sequences included four extremely GC-rich miRNAs (miR-1915-3p, miR-3665, miR-4787-5p and miR-4497). The best-performing duo normalization factor (NF) for the condition of human plasma, miR-320d and miR-4787-5p, also included a GC-extreme miRNA. In summary, the identification of extremely guanine-cytosine-rich plasma normalizers will help to increase accuracy of PCR-based miRNA quantification, thus raise the potential that miRNAs become markers for psychological stress reactions or early and precise diagnosis of clinical phenotypes. The novel miRNAs might also be useful for orthologous contexts considering their conservation in related animal genomes.

Project description:Graves ophthalmopathy (GO), a manifestation of Graves' disease, is an organ-specific autoimmune disease. Intravenous glucocorticoid therapy (ivGCs) is the first-line treatment for moderate-to-severe and active GO. However, ivGCs is only effective in 70-80% of GO patients. Insensitive patients who choose 12 weeks ivGCs were not only delayed in treatment, but also took the risk of adverse reactions of glucocorticoids. At present, there is still a lack of effective indicators to predict the therapeutic effect of ivGCs. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find biomarkers that can determine the sensitivity of ivGCs before the formulation of treatment, and to clarify the mechanism of its regulation of ivGCs sensitivity. This study first characterized the miRNA profiles of plasma exosomes by miRNA sequencing to identify miRNAs differentially expressed between GO patients with significant improvement (SI) and non-significant improvement (NSI) after ivGCs treatment. According to the function of the target genes, we screened 10 differentially expressed miRNAs. Results showed that compared with NSI patients, mir-885-3p was up-regulated and mir-4474-3p and mir-615-3p were down regulated in the exosomes of SI patients. Based on statistical difference and miRNA function, mir-885-3p was selected for follow-up study. In vitro functional analysis of exosomes mir-885-3p showed that exosomes from SI patients (SI-exo) could transfer mir-885-3p to orbital fibroblasts (OFs), up-regulate the GRE luciferase reporter gene plasmid activity and the level of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), down-regulate the level of inflammatory factors, and improve the glucocorticoid sensitivity of OFs. In addition, we found that high levels of mir-885-3p could inhibit AKT/NFκB signaling pathway, up‐regulate the GRE plasmid activity and GR level, and down‐regulate the level of inflammatory factors of OFs. Moreover, the improvement of glucocorticoid sensitivity by mir-885-3p transmitted by SI-exo can also be inhibited by AKT/NFκB agonist. Finally, through the in vivo experiment of GO mouse model, we further determined the relationship between exosomes mir‐885‐3p sequence, AKT/NFκB signaling pathway, and glucocorticoid sensitivity. As a conclusion, plasma exosomes deliver mir‐885‐3p and inhibit AKT/NFκB signaling pathway to improve the glucocorticoid sensitivity of OFs. Exosomes mir-885-3p can be used as a biomarker to determine the sensitivity of ivGCs in GO patients.

Project description:Objective Circulating plasma miRNAs have been increasingly studied in the field of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) research. Our aim was to discover circulating plasma miRNAs species associated with growth hormone (GH) secreting PitNETs and assess how the plasma levels of discovered miRNA candidates are impacted by SSA therapy and whether there is a difference in their levels between GH secreting PitNETs and other PitNET types. Methods miRNA candidates were discovered using the whole miRNA sequencing approach and differential expression analysis. Selected miRNAs were then analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results Whole miRNA sequencing discovered a total of 19 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in GH secreting PitNET patients' plasma 24 hours after surgery and 19 DEMs between GH secreting PitNET patients’ plasma and non-functioning (NF) PitNET patients’ plasma. Seven miRNAs were selected for further testing of which miR-625-5p, miR-503-5p miR-181a-2-3p and miR-130b-3p showed a significant downregulation in plasma after 1 month of SSA treatment. miR-181a-5p and mir-625-5p were also found to be significantly downregulated in plasma of GH secreting PitNET patients vs. NF PitNET patients. Conclusions Our study suggests that expression of plasma miRNAs miR-625-5p, miR-503-5p miR-181a-2-3p and miR-130b-3p in GH secreting PitNETs is affected by SSA treatment. Additionally, miR-625-5p and miR-181a-5p can distinguish GH secreting PitNETs from other PitNET types warranting further research on these miRNAs for treatment efficacy.

Project description:Patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) are commonly treated with systemic combination therapy but suffer eventually from drug resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are suggested to play a role in treatment resistance of CRC. We studied whether restoring downregulated miR-195-5p and 497-5p sensitize CRC cells to currently used chemotherapeutics 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan. Sensitivity to 5-FU, oxaliplatin and irinotecan before and after transfection with miR-195-5p and miR-497-5p mimics was analyzed in CRC cell lines HCT116, RKO, DLD-1 and SW480. Mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis of transfected and wild-type cells was used to identify targets involved in sensitivity to chemotherapy. Proteomic analysis revealed 181 proteins with significantly altered expression after transfection with miR-195-5p mimic in HCT116 and RKO, including 118 downregulated and 63 upregulated proteins. After transfection with miR-497-5p mimic, 130 proteins were significantly downregulated and 102 were upregulated in HCT116 and RKO (P<0.05 and FC<-3 or FC>3). CHUK and LUZP1 were coinciding downregulated proteins in sensitized CRC cells after transfection with either mimic. Resistance mechanisms of these two proteins may be related to nuclear factor kappa-B signaling and G1 cell cycle arrest, respectively. Restoring miR-195-5p and miR-497-5p expression enhanced sensitivity to chemotherapy, mainly oxaliplatin, in CRC cells and could be a promising treatment strategy for patients with mCRC. Proteomics revealed potential targets of these miRNAs involved in sensitivity to chemotherapy.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in the pathogenesis of viral infections, but little is known about the miRNA alternations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we performed high throughout sequencing to detect miRNAs in the plasma samples collected from 61 healthy controls, 16 asymptomatic individuals and 100 symptomatic COVID-19 patients. In total, we identified 2,336 known miRNAs and 361 novel miRNAs, including 75 differentially expressed miRNAs with p value<0.05 between various groups. We also found a number of miRNAs that were associated with various clinical presentations and viral persistence of COVID-19, such as hsa-miR-370-3p, hsa-miR-146a-3p, hsa-miR-885-5p, hsa-miR-214-3p and hsa-miR-10b-5p. Further analysis of the target genes, gene ontology and KEGG pathways revealed a panel of miRNAs that were linked to immune responses, viral infections, inflammation and apoptosis. Our findings may help understand the contribution of miRNAs to the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and identify potential biomarkers and molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Project description:BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that recognize sites of complementarity of target messenger RNAs, resulting in transcriptional regulation and translational repression of target genes. In Huntington’s disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion, miRNA dyregulation has been reported, which may impact gene expression and modify the progression and severity of HD. METHODS: We performed next-generation miRNA sequence analysis in prefrontal cortex (Brodmann Area 9) from 26 HD, 2 asymptomatic HD, and 36 control brains. Neuropathological information was available for all HD brains, including age at disease onset, CAG-repeat size, Vonsattel grade, and Hadzi-Vonsattel striatal and cortical scores, a continuous measure of the extent of neurodegeneration. Linear models were performed to examine the relationship of miRNA expression to these clinical features, and messenger RNA targets of associated miRNAs were tested for gene ontology term enrichment. RESULTS: We identified 75 miRNAs differentially expressed in HD brain (FDR q-value <0.05). Among the HD brains, nine miRNAs were significantly associated with Vonsattel grade of neuropathological involvement and three of these, miR-10b-5p, miR-10b-3p, and miR-302a-3p, significantly related to the Hadzi-Vonsattel striatal score (a continuous measure of striatal involvement) after adjustment for CAG length. Five miRNAs (miR-10b-5p, miR-196a-5p, miR-196b-5p, miR-10b-3p, and miR-106a-5p) were identified as having a significant relationship to CAG length-adjusted age of onset including miR-10b-5p, the mostly strongly over-expressed miRNA in HD cases. Although prefrontal cortex was the source of tissue profiled in these studies, the relationship of miR-10b-5p expression to striatal involvement in the disease was independent of cortical involvement. Correlation of miRNAs to the clinical features clustered by direction of effect and the gene targets of the observed miRNAs showed association to processes relating to nervous system development and transcriptional regulation. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that miRNA expression in cortical BA9 provides insight into striatal involvement and support a role for these miRNAs, particularly miR-10b-5p, in HD pathogenicity. The miRNAs identified in our studies of postmortem brain tissue may be detectable in peripheral fluids and thus warrant consideration as accessible biomarkers for disease stage, rate of progression, and other important clinical characteristics of HD. 26 Huntington's disease, 2 asymptomatic HD gene positive and 49 neurologically normal control prefrontal cortex samples
