Project description:miR-29a/b1 was reported to be involved in the regulation of reproductive function in female mice, but the underlying molecular mechanisms were not clear. In this study, female mice lacking miR-29a/b1 showed a delay in vaginal opening, irregular estrus cycles, ovulation disorder and infertility. However, the development of egg was normal in mutant mice and the ovulation disorder could be rescued by the superovulation treatment. The plasma level of luteinizing hormone (LH) was significantly lower in the mutant mice. Using iTRAQ coupled with LC-MS/MS, we found that the deficiency of miR-29a/b1 in mice resulted in an abnormal expression of a number of proteins involved in vesicular transport and secretion in the pituitary gland. The miR-29a/b1 targeting gene Dnmt3a and Hdac4 were up-regulated in the pituitary of miR-29a/b1 knockout mice suggesting that these two epigenetic writers may be the upstream causes for these phenotype changes due to miR-29a/b1 deficiency. These findings demonstrated that miR-29a/b1 is indispensable for the function of the reproductive axis through regulating LH secretion in the pituitary gland.

Project description:To confirm the mechanism of miR-29a in liver fibrosis healing, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes. CCl4 and TAA liver fibrosis model mouse were used for this experiment. After five weeks liver fibrosis induction period, mouse have been observed for one week (1w) or two weeks (2w) and negative control nucleotide (N.C) or miR-29a were injected every 3 days on this period. We used CCl4 1w N.C (n = 1), 1w miR-29a (n = 1), 2w N.C (n = 1), 2w miR-29a (n = 1), and also used TAA model mouse (total n = 8) liver samples for microarray analysis. We can get only one gene (PDGF-c) as a target of miR-29a which relate to liver fibrosis and down-regulated more than 1.5 times in common miR-29a injected group than N.C group. CCl4 and TAA liver fibrosis model mouse were used for this experiment. After five weeks liver fibrosis induction period, mouse have been obserbed for one week (1w) or two weeks (2w) and negative control nucleotide (N.C) or miR-29a were injected every 3 days on this period.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by excessive desmoplasia and autophagy-dependent tumorigenic growth. Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) as a predominant stromal cell type play a critical role in PDAC biology. Autophagy facilitates PSC activation. However, the mechanism remains unknown. To investigate the mechanism of autophagy in PSC activation, gene expression profiles between patient-derived PSCs from pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis were compared using a gene expression microarray. Here, we found that endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2), which resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, was highly expressed in both cancer-associated PSCs and pancreatic cancer cells (PCCs). We found that high stromal ERAP2 expression is associated with a poor prognosis of PDAC patients. Knockdown of ERAP2 inhibited autophagy of PSCs and PCCs. In PSCs, inhibition of autophagy by ERAP2 knockdown led to inactivation of PSCs and attenuated tumor-stromal interactions. This process was mediated by ER stress and consequent IRE1α and PERK unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathways. In orthotopic models, ERAP2 knockdown in PSCs inhibited growth and fibrosis of xenografted tumor compared with coimplantation of PSCs without ERAP2 knockdown, and gemcitabine treatment further inhibited tumor growth. Our findings demonstrate a novel mechanism of PSCs activation regulated by autophagy. ERAP2 as a promising therapeutic target may provide a novel strategy for the treatment of PDAC.

Project description:Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most common sensory degenerative disease and can significantly impact the quality of life in elderly people. A previous study using GeneChip miRNA microarray assays showed that the expression of miR-29a changes with age, however, its role in hearing loss is still unclear. In this study, we characterized the cochlear phenotype of miR-29a knockout (miR-29a-/-) mice and found that miR-29a-deficient mice had a rapid progressive elevation of the hearing threshold from 2 to 5 months of age compared with littermate controls as measured by the auditory brainstem response. Stereocilia degeneration, hair cell loss and abnormal stria vascularis were observed in miR-29a-/- mice at 4 months of age. Transcriptome sequencing results showed elevated extracellular matrix (ECM) gene expression in miR-29a-/- mice. Both GO annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the key differences were closely related to ECM. Further examination with a transmission electron microscope showed thickening of the basilar membrane in the cochlea of miR-29a-/- mice. Five Col4a genes (Col4a1-a5) and two laminin genes (Lamb2 and Lamc1) were validated as miR-29a direct targets by dual luciferase assays and miR-29a inhibition assays with a miR-29a inhibitor. Consistent with the target gene validation results, the expression of these genes was significantly increased in the cochlea of miR-29a-/- mice, as shown by RT-PCR and Western blot. These findings suggest that miR-29a plays an important role in maintaining cochlear structure and function by regulating the expression of collagen and laminin and that the disturbance of its expression could be a cause of progressive hearing loss.

Project description:Gene expression profiling from fine purified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells of WT or miR-29a deletion. This anlaysis identified the up- and down-regulated genes from miR-29a deletion, and suggest that cell cycle regulators are significantly changed. The results demonstrate that the HSC lacking of miR-29a appeared as committed progentiors from their gene expression patterns.

Project description:The miR-29 family is an important player in the molecular pathophysiology of distinct types of cancer, with roles that seems to depend on cellular context. Reduced miR-29 levels are associated with more aggressive disease and its overexpression in cancer and leukemic cell lines inhibits proliferation. In contrast, its overexpression in hematopoietic progenitors, promotes leukemogenesis. We explored the potential roles of miR-29a in the molecular pathophysiology of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). As compared to normal T-cells, miR-29a levels are extremely reduced in T-ALL and in the Jurkat cell line. Microarrays analysis in Jurkat cells, following the introduction of synthetic miR-29a mimics, revealed the down-regulation of several predicted targets, including previously described targets (DNMT3a/b, CDK6, PXDN, MCL1, PIK3R1 and CXXC6), and novel targets with roles in active DNA demethylation, such as members of the ten-eleven-translocation (TET) family and TDG. Reduced miR-29a levels contribute to altered epigenetics, as its introduction in Jurkat cells, promotes the demethylation of the AHR gene (commonly methylated in T-ALL). In T-ALL patients, miR-29a levels are significantly associated with blast counts and disease free survival. Our results highlight the relevance of miR-29 in T-ALL physiopathology, and may help to clarify some contrasting findings reported in the literature. In order to identify potential miR-29a targets in T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, Jurkat cells were electroporated with synthetic RNA molecules corresponding to miR-29a mimics (pre-miR) or inhibitors (anti-miR); and microarray profiles were compared to the profiles of Jurkat cells eletroporated with the corresponding negative controls. Transcripts with levels reduced following the introduction of the pre-miR-29a (as compared to pre-miR-Control), or transcripts acumulated folowing introduction of the anti-miR-29a inhibitor (as compared to anti-miR-Control), were considered potential targets; and were further compared to microRNA target prediction databases. Two paired samples were used for this analysis.

Project description:The presence of activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) microenvironment plays a significant role in cancer progression. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is overexpressed in PDAC tissues and expressed by both cancer and stromal cells. The expression status of MIF and its receptors in PDAC- associated fibroblasts or PSCs and its pathophysiological roles are yet to be elucidated. The next-generation sequencing technique was adapted to check the effect of MIF absence on the expression of other genes in mice (mPSCs).

Project description:MiR-29a-3p plays a crucial role in regulating cell-cell junctions in the nasal mucosa epithelial cells of individuals with allergic rhinitis (AR). However, the impact of miR-29a-3p on focal adhesion (FA) homeostasis or cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion remains uncertain. This study demonstrates that miR-29a-3p can regulate the expression of LAMC1 and ITGA6, showing a potential correlation with AR pathogenesis in humans. Furthermore, the targeted inhibitory relationship between miR-29a-3p and both LAMC1 and ITGA6 was confirmed through dual-luciferase reporter assays. Analysis of miRNA-seq and mRNA-seq datasets established a differential expression (DE) profile for AR-associated genes, revealing 278 DE-miRNAs and 11,352 DE-mRNAs. Based on this data, we assert that miR-29s are a remarkable example of a single microRNA family exhibiting a consistent upregulation trend in AR. The KEGG analysis showed that AR is significantly associated with FA and ECM-receptor interaction. By integrating online databases for miRNA-target prediction with mRNA-seq data, we identified crucial genes involved in FA (e.g., ITGA6) and cell-ECM adhesion (e.g., LAMC1) as potential targets of miR-29s. Consequently, the role of the entire miRNA transcriptome can be virtually encompassed by miR-29s. In vivo evidence from AR mouse models further supported the role of miR-29a-3p in repressing these proteins' expression. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the significant differential expression of miRNA/mRNA genes in AR, with a specific focus on miR-29a-3p. This particular miRNA appears to hinder the process of FA and cell-ECM adhesion by targeting the ECM-integrins-adaptor protein axis, potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of AR.
