Project description:To determine the effect of antimiR-122 administration on the mouse miRNome. To functionally investigate a possible link between miR-122 and iron metabolism we inhibited miR-122 by a single, intraperitoneal injection of Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA)-modified antimiR oligonucleotides into age- and sex-matched C57Bl/6 WT mice. To inhibit miR-122 specifically, we injected an antimiR compound with perfect complementarity to miR-122 [perfect match (PM); PM_antimiR-122]. As negative controls, mice were either injected with an LNA control compound with two mismatches (2MM, 2MM_antimiR-122) or the vehicle control (SAL; 0.9% NaCl). Mice were sacrificed three and six weeks after injection. Independent of treatment, mice were viable and exhibited no overt physical or behavioral abnormalities. To exclude that PM_antimiR-122 administration disturbs the expression of other miRNAs we analyzed miRNA expression profiles in the livers, hearts and spleens of the same mice.

Project description:Antagonism of microRNA-122 in mice by systemically administered LNA-antimiR leads to up-regulation of a large set of predicted target mRNAs in the liver MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) is an abundant liver-specific miRNA, implicated in fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism as well as hepatitis C viral replication. Here, we report that a systemically administered 16-nt, unconjugated LNA (locked nucleic acid)-antimiR oligonucleotide complementary to the 5' end of miR-122 leads to specific, dose-dependent silencing of miR-122 and shows no hepatotoxicity in mice. Antagonism of miR-122 is due to formation of stable heteroduplexes between the LNA-antimiR and miR-122 as detected by northern analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrated uptake of the LNA-antimiR in mouse liver cells, which was accompanied by markedly reduced hybridization signals for mature miR-122 in treated mice. Functional antagonism of miR-122 was inferred from a low cholesterol phenotype and de-repression within 24 h of 199 liver mRNAs showing significant enrichment for miR-122 seed matches in their 3' UTRs. Expression profiling extended to 3 weeks after the last LNA-antimiR dose revealed that most of the changes in liver gene expression were normalized to saline control levels coinciding with normalized miR-122 and plasma cholesterol levels. Combined, these data suggest that miRNA antagonists comprised of LNA are valuable tools for identifying miRNA targets in vivo and for studying the biological role of miRNAs and miRNA-associated gene-regulatory networks in a physiological context.

Experiment Overall Design: Female NMRI mice were treated at day 2 with either 25mg/kg antimiR-122 (SPC3372) or vehicle (saline). Mice were sacrificied at day 3, 9 and 23 and liver RNA assayed. Three biological replicates for each of the six groups.

Project description:Expression of the miR-34 family (miR-34a, -34b, -34c) is elevated in settings of heart disease, and inhibition with antimiR-34a/antimiR-34 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Under chronic cardiac disease settings, targeting the entire miR-34 family is more effective than targeting miR-34a alone. The identification of transcription factor (TF)-miRNA regulatory networks has added complexity to understanding the therapeutic potential miRNA-based therapies. Here, we sought to determine whether antimiR-34 targets secondary miRNAs via TFs which could contribute to antimiR-34-mediated protection. Using miRNA-Seq we identified differentially regulated miRNAs in hearts from mice with cardiac pathology due to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), and these miRNAs were also regulated by antimiR-34. Two clusters of stress-responsive miRNAs were classified as “pathological” and “cardioprotective”. Using ChIPBase we identified 45 TF binding sites on the promoters of “pathological” and “cardioprotective” miRNAs, and 5 represented direct targets of miR-34, with the capacity to regulate other miRNAs. The expression of two “pathological” miRNAs (let-7e and miR-31) was independently experimentally validated in hearts from antimiR-34 treated TAC mice, and may explain why targeting the entire miR-34 family is more effective than targeting miR-34a alone. AntimiR-34 regulates the expression of other miRNAs and this has significant implications for drug development.

Project description:Background MicroRNAs are potent regulators of biology and disease. The miR-15 family has been shown to regulate cardiomyocyte proliferation and antimiR-based inhibition induces a cardioprotective effect after myocardial infarction in mice. However, systemic delivery of antimiRs leads to accumulation in kidneys and liver, with relatively poor cardiac exposure. pH-responsive injectable hydrogels serve as a sustained-release drug delivery depot and could potentially be used to improve cardiac efficacy of antimiR therapeutics. Objective Examine whether hydrogel can improve local delivery of antimiR-195 in ischemic hearts to increase cardiac efficacy and limit off-target effects. Methods Study the effect of intramyocardial injections of hydrogel-formulated antimiR-195 under both baseline conditions and after ischemic injury. Results Intracardiac injections of UPy-PEG induced a transient inflammatory response that was no longer present 7 days post-injection. In vitro experiments showed that antimiR-195 was released from the gel, and induced microRNA inhibition leading to downstream cardiomyocyte proliferation. In vivo, intramyocardial delivery of antimiR-195 in UPy-PEG enhanced cardiac target de-repression compared to PBS-dissolved antimiR-195, despite a low cardiac retention. After ischemic injury, this translated into a greater therapeutic effect by increasing both target de-repression and cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conclusions UPy-PEG can be used as a cardiac delivery vehicle of antimiRs and intramyocardial injection of UPy-PEG formulated antimiR-195 is sufficient to improve cardiac efficacy of antimiR-195. Follow up experiments in large animals will enable us to assess the true added value of using UPy-PEG to increase cardiac exposure of antimiR therapies.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus uniquely requires the liver specific microRNA-122 for replication, yet global effects on endogenous miRNA targets during infection are unexplored. Here, high-throughput sequencing and crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) experiments of human Argonaute (Ago) during HCV infection showed robust Ago binding on the HCV 5’UTR, at known and predicted miR-122 sites. On the human transcriptome, we observed reduced Ago binding and functional mRNA de-repression of miR-122 targets during virus infection. This miR-122 “sponge” effect could be relieved and redirected to miR-15 targets by swapping the miRNA tropism of the virus. Single-cell expression data from reporters containing miR-122 sites showed significant de-repression during HCV infection depending on expression level and number of sites. We describe a quantitative mathematical model of HCV induced miR-122 sequestration and propose that such miR-122 inhibition by HCV RNA may result in global de-repression of host miR-122 targets, providing an environment fertile for the long-term oncogenic potential of HCV.
