Lipopolysaccharide-induced microRNA-146a targets CARD10 and involves in angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study was designed to explore the role of miRNA-146a (miR-146a) and its target genes in the endothelial cells. In this study we have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced upregulation of miR-146a in the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the induction was blocked by the silencing of the toll-like receptors (TLRs) adaptor molecules MyD88 and nonspecific NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7082. In addition, knockdown of miR-146a by transfection of the locked nucleic acid (LNA)-antimiR-146a significantly decreased the increased cell migration and tube formation induced by LPS. A combined analysis of the bioinformatics miRanda algorithms and the whole genome expression microarray of the immunoprecipitated Ago2 ribonucleoprotein complex identified 14 transcripts as the potential target genes. Subsequent transfection with miR-146a precursor pre-miR-146a into the HUVEC validated that the CARD10 was the target gene of the miR-146a both in the transcript and protein level.
