Project description:The transcription factor c-Myb plays a key role in human primary CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) lineage choice, by enhancing erythropoiesis at the expense of megakaryopoiesis. We previously demonstrated that c-Myb affects erythroid versus megakaryocyte lineage decision in part by transactivating KLF1 and LMO2 expression. To further unravel the molecular mechanisms through which c-myb affects lineage fate decision, we profiled the miRNA and mRNA changes in myb-silenced CD34+ HPCs. The integrative analysis of miRNA/mRNA expression changes upon c-myb silencing in human CD34+ HPCs highlighted a set of 19 miRNA with 150 anticorrelated putative target mRNAs. Among the miRNAs downregulated in myb-silenced progenitors with the highest number of predicted target mRNAs, we selected hsa-miR-486-3p based on the in vitro effects of its overexpression on HPCs commitment. Indeed, morphological and flow cytometric analyses after liquid culture showed that hsa-miR-486-3p overexpression in HPCs enhanced erythroid and granulocyte differentiation while restraining megakaryocyte and macrophage differentiation. Moreover, collagen-based clonogenic assay demonstrated a strong impairement megakaryocyte commitment upon hsa-miR-486-3p overexpression in CD34+ cells. Moreover, in order to identify the mRNA target through which hsa-miR-486-3p affects lineage fate decision, we profiled the mRNA changes in mimic transfected CD34+ HPC by means of Affymetrix GeneAtlas U219 strip array. Gene expression profiling of hsa-miR-486-3p overexpressing CD34+ cells enabled us to identify a set of 8 genes downregulated and computationally predicted, putative hsa-miR-486-3p targets. Among them, we selected c-maf transcript as upregulated upon myb silencing. Worth of note, c-maf silencing in CD34+ progenitor cells was able to reverse the affects of myb silencing on erythroid versus megakaryocyte lineage choice. Integrative miRNA/mRNA analysis highlighted a set of miRNAs and anticorrelated putative target mRNAs modulated upon myb silencing, therefore potential players in myb-driven HPCs lineage choice. Among them, we demonstrated the hsa-miR-486-3p/c-maf pair as partially contributing to the effects of myb on HPCs commitment. Therefore, our data collectively identified myb-driven hsa-miR-486-3p upregulation and subsequent c-maf downregulation as a new molecular mechanism through which cMyb favours erythropoiesis while restraining megakaryopoiesis. Gene expression profile (GEP) was performed on total RNA derived from three independent experiments at 24h after the last nucleofection.

Project description:Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical event with high morbidity and mortality. We previously demonstrated that injection of cord blood endothelial colony forming cell (ECFC)-derived exosomes, highly enriched in miRNA(miR)-486-5p, prevented ischemic kidney injury in mice. While preclinical models support involvement of several miRs in AKI, the direct effects of miR-486-5p on injury and the kidney transcriptome are unknown. Objective: We studied effects of miR-486-5p in mice with kidney ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, and compared the impact of miR-486-5p and ECFC-derived exosomes on the transcriptome of proximal tubules (PTs) and renal endothelial cells. Methods: Adult male mice were subjected to bilateral kidney ischemia (30 min), and injected via tail vein with or without vehicle, miR-486-5p mimic, ECFC-derived exosomes, or scramble miR at the start of reperfusion. Plasma and tissues were collected 24 hrs after reperfusion, and proximal tubular and endothelial cells were isolated for mRNA analysis by RNA-Seq. Results: In mice with kidney IR, injection of miR-486-5p mimic increased levels of miR-486-5p in proximal tubules and endothelial cells, and significantly improved plasma creatinine, histological injury, neutrophil infiltration, and apoptosis, compared to vehicle treatment. MiR-486-5p inhibited expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), and activated AKT. Similar results were observed with exosomes, but scramble miR had no effect. In proximal tubules, miR-486-5p or exosomes reduced expression of several AKI genes (e.g. Lcn2, Havcr1 and Krt20) and caused alterations in apoptotic genes compared to IR alone. In endothelium, miR-486-5p or exosomes caused milder effect than in PTs but still impacting on expression of injury-related genes. Conclusion: MiR-486-5p protects mice against ischemic kidney injury. Both miR-486-5p and exosomes reduce expression of apoptotic genes in PTs and endothelium. The results suggest that systemic delivery of miR-486-5p has therapeutic potential in ischemic AKI.

Project description:NEK2 is a member of the NIMA-related family of serine/threonine centrosomal kinases. We analyzed the relationship between differential expression of NEK2 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient outcomes after liver transplants. We also studied the microRNAs that affect NEK2 expression. Analysis of multiple microarrays in the Oncomine database revealed that NEK2 expression was higher in HCC tissues than adjacent normal liver tissues. High NEK2 expression correlated with tumor size, pathological grade and macro- and microvascular invasion. Consequently, patients exhibiting high NEK2 expression had poorer prognosis. This was corroborated by our multivariate analysis that showed NEK2 to be an independent prognostic factor for HCC patient survival. Further, high NEK2 expression promoted proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of HCC cell lines. Tumor xenograft data from Balb/c nude mice demonstrated that HCC cells with high NEK2 expression formed larger tumors than those with low NEK2 expression. Finally, we showed that miR-486-5p suppressed NEK2 by directly binding to its transcript 3'UTR. We also demonstrated an inverse relationship between miR-486-5p and NEK2 expression in HCC patients. These findings suggest miR-486-5p negatively regulates NEK2, which is a critical prognostic indicator of HCC patient survival after liver transplantation.

Project description:Hemopoiesis entails a series of hierarchically organized events that proceed throughout cell specification and terminates with cell differentiation. Commitment needs the transcription factors effort that, in concert with microRNAs, drives cell fate specification, answering to promiscuous patterns of gene expression by turning on lineage-specific genes and repressing alternate lineage transcripts. Therefore microRNAs and mRNAs cooperate to direct cell fate decisions. We obtained microRNAs profiles from human CD34+ hemopoietic progenitor cells and in-vitro differentiated erythroblasts, megakaryoblasts, monoblasts and myeloblasts precursors and we analyzed them together with the gene expression profiles of the same populations. We found that for most part of microRNAs specifically up-regulated in one single cell progeny an inverse correlation between microRNAs and down-regulated putative targets expression levels occurs. We chose hsa-mir-299-5p as a model to get further insights into the possible biological relevance of this microRNAs-mRNAs expression integrated analytical approach and we asked if the forced expression of a single lineage-specific microRNA is able to control the cell fate of CD34+ progenitors grown in multilineage culture conditions. Gain and loss of-function experiments established that mir-299-5p regulates hemopoietic progenitors fate modulating reciprocally megakaryocytic-granulocytic versus erythroid-monocytic differentiation and has at least two genuine targets, the transcription factors CTCF and SOX4. CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells were transfected with the Amaxa Nucleofector Device, using the Human CD34 Cell Nucleofection Kit, accordingly to the manufacturer’s instructions (Amaxa Biosystem, Cologne, Germany), and 5µg of either the Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule—Negative Control # 1 (NC1) or the hsa-mir-299-5p Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule (299-5p) (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) and pulsed with the program U-008. The dataset is composed of three independent paired experiment of 299-5p gain of-function (three hsa-299-5p Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule nucleoporated samples and three paired Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule—Negative Control # 1 transfected ones).

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked progressive muscle disorder resulting in muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy. MicroRNAs have shown to play a significant role in muscle development, metabolism, and disease pathologies. We demonstrated that miR-486 expression is reduced in DMD muscles and its expression levels correlate with dystrophic disease severity. miR-486 knockout mice developed disrupted myofiber architecture, decreased myofiber size, decreased locomotor activity, increased fibrosis, and metabolic defects that were exacerbated on the dystrophic mdx5cv background. We integrated RNA-sequencing and chimeric eCLIP-sequencing data to identify direct in vivo targets of miR-486 and associated dysregulated gene signatures in skeletal muscle. Together, our studies identify miR-486 as a driver of muscle remodeling in DMD, a useful biomarker for dystrophic disease progression, and highlight chimeric eCLIP-sequencing as a useful tool to identify direct in vivo microRNA target transcripts.

Project description:Erythroid-specific miR-451a and miR-486-5p are two dominant microRNAs (miRNAs) in human peripheral blood-derived small RNA sequencing libraries. Their overabundance reduces diversity as well as complexity of libraries after PCR amplification and consequently causes negative effects such as inaccurate detectability and quantification of other low abundant miRNAs. Here we present a cost-effective and feasible hybridization-based method to deplete these two erythropoietic miRNAs from blood-derived RNA samples
