Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs that regulate gene expression and are implicated in wide-ranging cellular processes and pathological conditions including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We have compared differential miRNA expression in proximal and distal limb muscles, diaphragm, heart and serum in the mdx mouse relative to wild-type controls. Global transcriptome analysis revealed muscle-specific patterns of differential miRNA expression as well as a number of changes common between tissues, including previously identified dystromirs. In the case of miR-31 and miR-34c, up-regulation of primary-miRNA transcripts, precursor hairpins and all mature miRNAs derived from the same transcript or miRNA cluster strongly suggests transcriptional regulation of these miRNAs. The most striking differences in differential miRNA expression were between muscle tissue and serum. Specifically, miR-1, miR-133a and miR-206 were highly abundant in serum but down-regulated or modestly up-regulated in muscle, suggesting that these miRNAs are promising disease biomarkers. Indeed, the relative serum levels of these miRNAs were normalised in response to peptide-PMO mediated dystrophin restoration therapy. This study has revealed further complexity in the miRNA transcriptome of the mdx mouse, an understanding of which will be valuable in the development of novel therapeutics and for monitoring their efficacy. Male WT C57/B10 and male mdx C57/B10 mice (n=4) were sacrificed at eight weeks of age. The heart, quadriceps femoris, and diaphragm were dissected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen-cooled isopentane. Samples were homogenised using Precellys 24 (Bertin Technologies, France), and RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) as according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression through
interactions with target sites within mRNAs, leading to
enhanced degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of translation.
Skeletal muscle expresses many different miRNAs with important
roles in adulthood myogenesis (regeneration) and myofibre
hypertrophy and atrophy, processes associated with muscle
ageing. However, the large number of miRNAs and their targets
mean that a complex network of pathways exists, making it
difficult to predict the effect of selected miRNAs on
age-related muscle wasting. Computational modelling has the
potential to aid this process as it is possible to combine
models of individual miRNA:target interactions to form an
integrated network. As yet, no models of these interactions in
muscle exist. We created the first model of miRNA:target
interactions in myogenesis based on experimental evidence of
individual miRNAs which were next validated and used to make
testable predictions. Our model confirms that miRNAs regulate
key interactions during myogenesis and can act by promoting the
switch between quiescent/proliferating/differentiating
myoblasts and by maintaining the differentiation process. We
propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial
switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on
and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143
inhibiting myogenesis.

Project description:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a classical monogenic disorder, a model disease for genomic studies and a priority candidate for regenerative medicine and gene therapy. Although the genetic cause of DMD is well known, the molecular pathogenesis of disease and the response to therapy are incompletely understood. Here, we describe analyses of protein, mRNA and microRNA expression in the tibialis anterior of the mdx mouse model of DMD. Notably, 3272 proteins were quantifiable and 525 identified as differentially expressed in mdx muscle (P < 0.01). Therapeutic restoration of dystrophin by exon skipping induced widespread shifts in protein and mRNA expression towards wild-type expression levels, whereas the miRNome was largely unaffected. Comparison analyses between datasets showed that protein and mRNA ratios were only weakly correlated (r = 0.405), and identified a multitude of differentially affected cellular pathways, upstream regulators and predicted miRNA–target interactions. This study provides fundamental new insights into gene expression and regulation in dystrophic muscle. 3 Wt, 4 mdx and 4 Pip6e-PMO treated mdx mice

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) are characterized by arm-wide chromosomal alterations. Loss at 14q is associated with disease aggressiveness in ccRCC, which responds poorly to chemotherapeutics. The 14q locus contains one of the largest miRNA clusters in the human genome; however, little is known about the contribution of these miRNAs to ccRCC pathogenesis. In this regard, we investigated the expression pattern of selected miRNAs at the 14q32 locus in TCGA kidney tumors and in ccRCC cell lines. We validated that the miRNA cluster is downregulated in ccRCC (and cell lines) as well as in papillary kidney tumors relative to normal kidney tissues and primary renal proximal tubule epithelial (RPTEC) cells. We demonstrated that agents modulating expression of DNMT1 (e.g., 5-Aza-deoxycytidine) could modulate miRNA expression in ccRCC cell lines. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, a Lysophospholipid mediator elevated in ccRCC) not only increased labile iron content but also modulated expression of 14q32 miRNAs. Through an overexpression approach targeting a subset of 14q32 miRNAs (specifically at subcluster A: miR-431, miR-432, miR-127, and miR-433) in 769-P cells, we uncovered changes in cellular viability and claudin-1, a tight junction marker. A global proteomic approach was implemented using these miRNA overexpressing cell lines which uncovered ATXN2 as a highly downregulated target, which has a role in chronic kidney disease pathogenesis. Collectively, these findings support a contribution of miRNAs at 14q32 in ccRCC pathogenesis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Several miRNAs are exclusively expressed in skeletal muscle and participate in the regulation of muscle differentiation by interacting with myogenic factors. These miRNAs can be found at high levels in the serum of patients and animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and which is expected to be useful as biomarkers for their clinical conditions. By miRNA microarray analysis, we identified miR-188 as a novel miRNA that is elevated in the serum of the muscular dystrophy dog model, CXMDJ. miR-188 was not muscle-specific miRNA, but its expression was up-regulated in skeletal muscles associated with muscle regeneration induced by cardiotoxin-injection in normal dogs and mice. Manipulation of miR-188 expression using antisense oligo and mimic oligo RNAs alters the mRNA expression of the myogenic regulatory factors, MRF4 and MEF2C. Searching for the direct target of miR-188 suggested that it could be MEF2-interacting transcription repressor (MITR). Our results suggest that miR-188 regulates myogenic factors targeting MITR during muscle differentiation and that it may serve as a serum biomarker reflecting skeletal muscle regeneration.
