Sonic hedgehog-heat shock protein 90β axis promotes the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (miRNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The incidence rate of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is on the rise with no effective clinical treatment available to date. Understanding the key molecular mechanism underlying the process of NASH can provide theoretical support for the development of safe and effective therapeutic drugs. Sonic hedgehog (SHH) and heat shock protein 90β (HSP90β) have been implicated in NASH but their molecular mechanisms of action remain elusive. HSP90β was found to be a key SHH downstream molecule that promoted NASH processes In hepatocytes, SHH reduced HSP90β ubiquitylation through deubiquitylase USP31, thus preventing HSP90β degradation and promoting hepatic lipid synthesis. As an important component protein in the formation of exosomes, HSP90β is high in high fructose, high fat, and high cholesterol (HFFC) diet-induced NASH mouse model, leading to secretion of exosomes enriched with miR-28-5p. miR-28-5p directly targets and decreases Rap1b levels, which in turn promote NF-κB transcriptional activity in macrophages and stimulate the expression of inflammatory factors. Genetic deletion, pharmacological inhibition of the SHH-HSP90β axis, or delivery of miR-28-5p to macrophages in the liver, impaired NASH symptomatic development. Importantly, analysis of NASH patient sera revealed a markedly higher abundance of miR-28-5p compared to healthy donors. Taken together, the SHH-HSP90β-miR-28-5p axis offers promising therapeutic targets against NASH, and serum miR-28-5p may serve as a novel NASH diagnostic biomarker.

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:Lifestyle disorders like obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular diseases can be prevented and treated by regular physical activity. During exercise, skeletal muscles release signaling factors that communicate with other organs and mediate beneficial effects of exercise. These factors include myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). In the present study, we have examined how electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of myotubes, a model of exercise, affects the cargo of released EVs. Chronic low frequency EPS was applied for 24 h to human myotubes isolated and differentiated from biopsy samples from 6 morbidly obese females with T2D, and EVs, both exosomes and microvesicles (MV), were isolated from cell media 24 h thereafter. Size and concentration of EV subtypes were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, surface markers were examined by flow cytometry and Western blotting, and morphology was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Protein content was assessed by high-resolution proteomic analysis (LC-MS/MS), non-coding RNA was quantified by Affymetrix microarray, and selected microRNAs (miRs) validated by real time RT-qPCR. The size and concentration of exosomes and MV were unaffected by EPS. Of the 400 miRs identified in the EVs, EPS significantly changed the level of 15 exosome miRs, of which miR-1233-5p showed the highest fold change. The miR pattern of MV was unaffected by EPS. Totally, about 1000 proteins were identified in exosomes and 2000 in MV. EPS changed the content of 73 proteins in exosomes, 97 in MVs, and of these 4 were changed in both exosomes and MV (GANAB, HSPA9, CNDP2, and ATP5B). By matching the EPS-changed miRs and proteins in exosomes, 31 targets were identified, and among these several promising signaling factors. Of particular interest were CNDP2, an enzyme that generates the appetite regulatory metabolite Lac-Phe, and miR-4433b-3p, which targets CNDP2. Several of the regulated miRs, such as miR-92b-5p, miR-320b, and miR-1233-5p might also mediate interesting signaling functions.

Project description:Aim: EBV encode at least 44 miRNAs involved in immune regulation and disease progression. Exosomes can be used as carriers of EBV-miRNA-BART intercellular transmission and affect the biological behavior of cells. We characterized exosomes and established a co-culture experiment of exosomes to explore the mechanism of miR-BART1-3p transmission through the exosome pathway and its influence on tumor cell proliferation and invasion. Materials and methods: Exosomes of EBV-positive and EBV-negative gastric cancer cells were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Nanosight and western blotting, and miRNA expression profiles in exosomes were sequenced with high throughput. Exosomes with high or low expression of miR-BART1-3p were co-cultured with AGS cells to study the effects on proliferation, invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells. The target genes of EBV-miR-BART1-3p were screened and predicted by PITA, miRanda, RNAhybrid, virBase and Diana-Tarbase v.8 databases, and the expression of the target genes after co-culture was detected by qPCR. Results：The exosomes secreted by EBV positive and negative gastric cancer cells range in diameter from 30 nm to 150nm and express the exosomal signature proteins CD63 and CD81. High throughput sequencing showed that exosomes expressed some human miRNAs, among which has-miR-23b-3p, has-miR-320a-3p and has-miR-4521 were highly expressed in AGS-exo. has-miR-21-5p, has-miR-148a-3p and has-miR-7-5p were highly expressed in SNU-719-exo. All EBV miRNAs were expressed in SNU-719 cells and their exosomes, among which EBV- miR-Bart1-5p, EBV- miR-bart22 and EBV- miR-bart16 were the highest in SNU-719 cells. EBV-miR-BART1-5p, EBV-miR-BART10-3p and EBV-miR-BART16 were the highest in SNU-719-exo. After miR-BART1-3p silencing in gastric cancer cells, the proliferation, healing, migration and invasion of tumor cells were significantly improved. Laser confocal microscopy showed that exosomes could carry miRNA into recipient cells. After co-culture with miR-BART1-3p silenced exosomes, the proliferation, healing, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells were significantly improved. The target gene of miR-BART1-3p was FMA168A, MACC1, CPEB3, ANKRD28 and USP37 after screening by targeted database. CPEB3 was not expressed in all exosome co-cultured cells, while ANKRD28, USP37, MACC1 and FAM168A were all expressed to varying degrees. USP37 and MACC1 are down-regulated after up-regulation of miR-BART1-3p, which may be the key target genes for miR-BART1-3p to regulate the proliferation of gastric cancer cells through exosomes. Conclusions: miR-BART1-3p can affect the growth of tumor cells through exosome pathway. The proliferation, healing, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells were significantly improved after co-culture with exosomes of miR-BART1-3p silenced expression. USP37 and MACC1 may be potential target genes of miR-BART1-3p in regulating cell proliferation.
