The effect of FBS and cyclic mechanical stretch on serum starved mesenchymal stem cells

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Cyclic mechanical stretch (CMS) promoted proliferation of serum starved mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by inhibiting miR-337 expression, similar to FBS. In order to reveal the underlying mechanisms of both CMS and FBS on MSC activation, as well as the regulatory role of miR-337, this research performed high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on MSCs isolated from both wild-type (ET)- and miR-337 knockout- (miR-337-/-) rats. Methods: MSCs isolated form 2-month-old wild-type (WT) and miR-337 knockout (-/-) rats and cultured in vitro to passage 3. After serum starvation for 8h, MSCs were treated with FBS or 10% CMS for another 24h before deep sequencing in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 40 million sequence reads per sample. We identified 2472 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CMS-stimulated vs. SSt conditions, 2468 DEGs FBS-treated vs. SSt groups. However, only 97 DEGs were identified between CMS and FBS groups, indicating that CMS and FBS groups are more similar to each other and both CMS and FBS groups are quite different from the SSt group. Analysis of DEGs between CMS- or FBS-treated and SSt -treated group revealed that CMS and FBS stimulation activated similar biological processes, of which, PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway was highly enriched. However, PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway was not enriched in miR-337-/- MSCs, indicating constitutive activation of this pathway. Conclusions: Our RNA-seq data revealed that both CMS and FBS activates quiescent MSCs through regulating similar genes and pathways. miR-337 is one of the main factors that regulate MSC activation by targeting PI3K-Akt pathway.

Project description:Hyperactivation of the PI3K/AKT pathway is observed in most NSCLCs, promoting proliferation, migration and resistance to therapy. AKT can be activated through several mechanisms that include loss of the negative regulator PTEN, activating mutations of the catalytic subunit of the positive regulator phosphatydil-inositol-3â phosphate kinase (PIK3CA) and/or mutations of AKT1 itself. However, whereas the effects of AKT activation on mRNAs and proteins in the cell are fairly clear, the role of miRNAs as downstream targets of activated PI3K/AKT signalling is still poorly defined so far. To identify miRNAs that are targets of constitutive signalling of PI3K/AKT in lung cancer cells, we performed miRNA profiling of human lung epithelial cells expressing active mutant AKT1 (E17K), active mutant PI3KCA (E545K) or that are silenced for PTEN. We identified 28 differentially expressed miRNAs (8 up-regulated, 20 down-regulated) that were common to BEAS-AKT1-E17K, BEAS-PIK3CA-E545K and BEAS-shPTEN cells. Among the 8 up-regulated miRNAs that were common to all the alterations, the miRNA most consistently up-regulated by activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in BEAS-2B cells was miR-196a. The results reported here demonstrate that miR-196a acts as oncogene downstream the PI3K/AKT pathway, mediating the proliferative, pro-migratory and tumorigenic activity of this pathway in NSCLC cells by targeting FoxO1 and p27 expression. By adoptive expression of miR-196a in BEAS-2B cells, we demonstrated that miR-196a stimulates anchorage-dependent and -independent proliferation, migration and tumorigenicity in BEAS-2B cells. On the other hand, by use of antimir-196a in NCI-H460 cells to silence the endogenous expression of miR-196a, we demonstrate that miR-196a plays a pivotal role in mediating the stimulation of proliferation, migration and tumorigenicity induced by aberrant activation of PI3K/AKT signalling. Accordingly, we found that miR-196a was significantly overexpressed in human NSCLC-derived cell lines (n=6) and primary lung cancer samples (n=28). Finally, based on predicted binding sites for miR-196a by microRNA analysis software, we found that miR-196a affects protein levels of FoxO1 and p27 in NSCLC cells.
