Project description:A gender gap exists in cystic fibrosis (CF). Here we investigate whether plasma microRNA expression profiles differ between the sexes in CF children. microRNA expression was quantified in paediatric CF plasma (n=12; six females; Age range:1-6; Median Age: 3; 9 Phe508del homo- or heterozygotes) using TaqMan OpenArray Human miRNA Panels. Principal component analysis indicated differences in male versus female miRNA profiles. The miRNA array analysis revealed two miRNAs which were significantly increased in the female samples (miR-885-5p; fold change (FC):5.07, adjusted p value: 0.026 and miR-193a-5p; FC:2.6, adjusted p value: 0.031), although only miR-885-5p was validated as increased in females using specific qPCR assay (p < 0.0001). Gene ontology analysis of miR-885-5p validated targets identified cell migration, motility and fibrosis as processes potentially affected, with RAC1-mediated signalling featuring significantly. There is a significant increase in miR-885-5p in plasma of females versus males with CF under six years of age.

Project description:Purpose: Available tools for prostate cancer (PC) diagnosis and prognosis are suboptimal and novel biomarkers are urgently needed. Here, we investigated the regulation and biomarker potential of the GABRE~miR-452~miR-224 genomic locus. Experimental design: GABRE/miR-452/miR-224 transcriptional expression was quantified in 80 non-malignant and 281 PC tissue samples. GABRE promoter methylation was determined by methylation-specific qPCR (MethyLight) in 35 non-malignant, 293 PC (radical prostatectomy (RP) cohort 1) and 198 PC tissue samples (RP cohort 2). Diagnostic/prognostic biomarker potential of GABRE methylation was evaluated by ROC, Kaplan-Meier, uni- and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Functional roles of miR-224 and miR-452 were investigated in PC3 and DU145 cells by viability, migration, and invasion assays and gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of post-transfection transcriptional profiling data. Results: GABRE~miR-452~miR-224 was significantly downregulated in PC compared to non-malignant prostate tissue and had highly cancer-specific aberrant promoter hypermethylation (AUC=0.98). Functional studies and GSEA suggested that miR-224 and miR-452 inhibit proliferation, migration, and invasion of PC3 and DU145 cells by direct/indirect regulation of pathways related to the cell cycle and cellular motility. Finally, in uni- and multivariate analyses, high GABRE promoter methylation was significantly associated with biochemical recurrence in RP cohort 1, which was successfully validated in RP cohort 2. Conclusion: The GABRE~miR-452~miR-224 locus is downregulated and hypermethylated in PC and is a new promising epigenetic candidate biomarker for PC diagnosis and prognosis. Tumor suppressive functions of the intronic miR-224 and miR-452 were demonstrated in two PC cell lines, suggesting that epigenetic silencing of GABRE~miR-452~miR-224 may be selected for in PC.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, the most frequent of which is F508del-CFTR. CF is characterized by excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory chemokines into the airway lumen, inducing a highly inflammatory cellular phenotype. This process triggers fibrosis, causing airway destruction and leading to high morbidity and mortality. We previously reported that miR-155 is up-regulated in CF lung epithelial cells, but the molecular mechanisms by which miR-155 affects the disease phenotype is not understood. Here we report that the protein RPTOR (regulatory associated protein of mTOR, complex 1) is a novel target of miR-155 in CF lung epithelial cells. The suppression of RPTOR expression and subsequent activation of TGF-β signaling resulted in the induction of fibrosis by up-regulation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in CF lung epithelial cells. Thus, we propose that miR-155 can regulate fibrosis of CF lungs through the RPTOR-TGF-β-CTGF axis, highlighting its potential value in CF therapy.

Project description:Objectives Non-invasive staging of decompensated cirrhosis is an unmeet clinical need. The aims of this study were to characterize and validate a novel miRNA signature to stage decompensated cirrhosis and predict the portal pressure and cardiac dysfunction response to non-selective beta-blockers (NSBB). Design Serum samples from patients with decompensated cirrhosis (n=36) and healthy controls (n=36) were tested for a novel signature of five miRNAs (miR-452-5p, miR-429, miR-885-5p, miR-181b-5p, and miR-122-5p) identified in the secretome of primary human hepatocytes, and three miRNAs (miR-192-5p, miR-34a-5p and miR-29a-5p) previously discovered as biomarkers of chronic liver disease. All patients had ascites, that was refractory in 18 (50%), and were placed on NSBB for variceal bleeding prophylaxis. In all patients, serum miRNAs, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), and echocardiogram study was performed before and 1 month after NSBB. Results Cirrhotic patients had lower serum levels of miR-429, miR-885-5p, miR-181b-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-192-5p and miR-29a-5p (p<0.05). miR-452-5p and miR-429 expression were lower in NSBB responders (p=0.006). miR-181b-5p expression was greater in refractory- than in diuretic sensitive ascites (p=0.008) and correlated with serum creatinine. miR-452-5p and miR-885-5p were inversely correlated with baseline systemic vascular resistance (ρ=-0.46 p=0.007; and ρ=-0.41 p=0.01 respectively), and with diminished systolic contractility in patients with refractory ascites after NSBB (ρ=-0.55 p=0.02; and ρ=-0.55 p=0.02, respectively). Conclusion Analysis of a miRNA signature in serum distinguishes patients with decompensated cirrhosis who show more severe systemic circulatory dysfunction and compromised systolic function after beta-blockade, and those more likely to benefit from NSBB.

Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays were used for whole-genome transcriptional profiling of DU145 and PC3 cells at 48 hours post-transfection with either miR-224, miR-452, or scrambled miRNA mimics, or untransfected. All experiments were performed in duplicate. Transcript expression levels were determined after RMA16 normalization in GeneSpringGX 11.0 software (Agilent). PC3 and DU145 arrays were normalized separately. DU145 48 t Scr2a were excluded from the study because of bad performance of this microarray.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder, is characterized by chronic lung disease. Small non-coding RNAs are key regulators of gene expression and participate in various processes, which are dysregulated in CF; however, they remain poorly studied. Here, we determined the complete microRNAs (miRNAs) expression pattern in three CF ex-vivo models. The miRNA profiles of air-liquid interface cultures of airway epithelia (bronchi, nasal cells, and nasal polyps) samples from patients with CF and non-CF controls were obtained by deep sequencing. Compared with non-CF controls, several miRNAs were deregulated in CF samples, for instance miR-181a-5p and the miR-449 family were upregulated. Moreover, mature miRNAs often showed variations (i.e., isomiRs) relative to their reference sequence, such as miR-101, suggesting that miRNAs consist of heterogeneous repertoires of multiple isoforms with different effects on gene expression. Analysis of miR-181a-5p and miR-101-3p roles indicated that they regulate the expression of WISP1, a key component of cell proliferation/migration programs. We showed that miR-101 and miR-181a-5p participated in aberrant recapitulation of wound healing programs by controlling WISP1 mRNA and protein level. Our miRNA expression data bring new insights into CF physiopathology and define new potential therapeutic targets in CF

Project description:We studied miRNAs and their gene targets affecting SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis in CF airway epithelial cell models in response to TGF-β1. Small RNAseq in CF human bronchial epithelial cell line treated with TGF-β1 and miRNA profiling characterized TGF-β1 effects on the SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis pathways. Among the effectors, we identified and validated two miRNAs targeting ACE2 mRNA using different CF and non-CF human bronchial epithelial cell models. We have shown that TGF-β1 inhibits ACE2 expression by miR-136-3p and miR-369-5p. ACE2 levels were higher in cells expressing F508del-CFTR, compared to wild-type(WT)-CFTR and TGF-β1 inhibited ACE2 in both cell types. The ACE2 protein levels were still higher in CF, compared to non-CF cells after TGF-β1 treatment. TGF-β1 prevented the functional rescue of F508del-CFTR by ETI in primary human bronchial epithelial cells while ETI did not prevent the TGF-β1 inhibition of ACE2 protein. Finally, TGF-β1 reduced binding of ACE2 to the recombinant monomeric spike RBD. Our results may help to explain, at least in part, the role of TGF-β1 on the SARS-CoV-2 entry via ACE2 in the CF and non-CF airway.

Project description:Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play a critical role in cardiac cell therapy by delivering molecular cargo and mediating cellular signaling. Among sEV cargo molecule types, microRNA (miRNA) is particularly potent and highly heterogenous. However, not all miRNAs in sEV are beneficial. Two previous studies utilizing computational modeling identified miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p as potentially deleterious in cardiac function and repair. Here, we show that knocking down miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p in cardiac c-kit+ cell-derived sEVs enhances the therapeutic capabilities of sEVs in vitro and in a rat in vivo model of cardiac ischemia reperfusion. miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p depleted CPC-sEVs enhance cardiac function by reducing fibrosis, enhancing mesenchymal stromal cell-like cell mobilization, and inducing macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype. Knocking down deleterious miRNAs from sEV could be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of chronic myocardial infarction.

Project description:Women with diabetes have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular complications than men, suggesting that sex-steroid hormones like estrogen may impact on female health in diabetes. Here we demonstrate that estrogen suppletion and insulin resistance in male-to-female transgenders coincides with lower plasma levels of miR-224 and miR-452 carried in extracellular vesicles. Systemic silencing of miR-224 and miR-452 in mice triggered a prediabetic phenotype with higher plasma insulin levels, increased white adipose lipogenesis and less glucose uptake and mitochondrial respiration in brown adipose tissue. Consistent with a prediabetic metabolic state, RNA sequencing demonstrated differential expression of genes involved in lipogenesis in white adipose tissue and mitochondrial respiration and glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue. In vitro studies confirmed the estrogen-dependent lowering of miR-224 (brown adipocytes) and miR-452 (white adipocytes) and their impact on adipocyte-specific metabolic processes. Collectively, we identified novel estrogen-driven, post-transcriptional networks that could drive the progression to insulin resistance in transwomen and provide potential anti-diabetic therapeutic targets in women.
