MRNA profiling of hypoxia+SU5416-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) mouse model treated with an inhibitor of miR-130/301 family

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Guided by an in silico combination of microRNA (miRNA) target prediction, analysis of transcriptomic changes in 137 human diseases, and advanced gene network modeling, we predicted the miR-130/301 family of miRNAs as a shared regulator of a fibrotic gene network across human diseases, thus orchestrating broad control over disease manifestation. The goals of this study are to compare the lung mRNA profile of mouse model of Pulmonary hypertension, one of the most fibrotic pathology uncovered by our in silico prediction, treated with an inhibitor of miR-130/301 (Short-130) to mice treated with a control inhibitor (Short-NC). Methods: Eight-week-old mice (C57BL/6) were injected with SU5416 (20 mg/kg/dose; Sigma-Aldrich), followed by exposure to normobaric hypoxia (10% O2; OxyCycler chamber, Biospherix Ltd.) for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks and confirmation of PH development in 5 mice (right heart catheterization), mice were further treated with 3 intrapharyngeal injections (every 4 days) of control or miR-130/301 shortmer oligonucleotides, designed as fully modified antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the seed sequence of the miR-130/301 miRNA family (10 mg/kg/dose; Regulus). Specifically, the control and miR-130/301 shortmer oligonucleotides were nontoxic, lipid-permeable, high-affinity oligonucleotides. The miR-130/301 shortmer carried a sequence complementary to the active site of the miR-130/301 miRNA family, containing a phosphorothioate backbone and modifications (fluoro-, methoxyethyl, and bicyclic sugar) at the sugar 2’ position. Three days after the last injection, right heart catheterization was performed followed by harvesting of lung tissue for RNA extraction. Lung mRNA profiles of those mice or control mice (Normoxia+SU5416) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the gene-level count. The gene level counts were then normalized with the R/Bioconductor package limma using the voom /variance stabilization method. The data were quality controlled for outliers using principal component analysis (PCA). Differential expression analysis between transcriptome profiles of experimental groups was performed using the R / Bioconductor package limma. Results: Transcriptomic analyses of whole lung from mice with hypoxia+SU5416-induced PH revealed a generalized de-repression of miR-130/301 targets by Short-130 treatment. Importantly, although whole lung transcriptomics likely captured only a subset of the miR-130/301 targets affecting the diseased pulmonary vasculature, pathway enrichment nonetheless revealed pronounced representation of several pathways known to be involved in fibrosis. Thus, the miR-130/301 family indeed induces a programmatic shift at the molecular level toward the fibrotic pathophenotype in vivo

Project description:Background: Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of bone and show multiple and complex genomic aberrations. miRNAs are non-coding RNAs capable of regulating gene expression at the post transcriptional level, and miRNAs and their target genes may represent novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers for osteosarcoma. In order to investigate the involvement of miRNAs in osteosarcoma development, global microarray analyses of a panel of 19 human osteosarcoma cell lines was performed. Principal findings: We identified 177 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in osteosarcoma cell lines relative to normal bone. Among these, miR-126/miR-126*, miR-142-3p, miR-150, miR-223, miR-486-5p and members of the miR-1/miR-133a, miR-144/miR-451, miR-195/miR-497, and miR-206/miR-133b clusters were found to be downregulated in osteosarcoma cell lines. All miRNAs in the paralogous clusters miR-17-92, miR-106b-25 and miR-106a-92 were overexpressed. Furthermore, the upregulated miRNAs included miR-9/miR-9*, miR-21*, miR-31/miR-31*, miR-196a/miR-196b, miR-374a and members of the miR-29, miR-130/301 families. The most interesting inversely correlated miRNA/mRNA pairs in osteosarcoma cell lines included miR-9/TGFBR2 and miR-29/the p85α regulatory subunit of PI3K. PTEN mRNA correlated inversely with miR-92a and members of the miR-17 and miR-130/301 families. Expression profiles of selected miRNAs were confirmed in clinical samples. A set of miRNAs, miR-1, miR-18a, miR-18b, miR-19b, miR-31, miR-126, miR-142-3p, miR-133b, miR-144, miR-195, miR-223, miR-451 and miR-497 was identified with an intermediate expression level in osteosarcoma clinical samples compared to osteoblasts and bone, which may reflect the differentiation level of osteosarcoma relative to the undifferentiated osteoblast and fully differentiated normal bone. Significance: This study provides an integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA in osteosarcoma, and gives new insight into the complex genetic mechanisms of osteosarcoma development and progression.
