Project description:miRNA sponge, a special class of miRNA target, has been emerging as a pivotal player in miRNA mediated regulatory network. Currently, the identified miRNA sponge genes mostly act on sequestering conserved miRNAs (e.g. miR-7, miR-145), however, the existence, potential function and evolutionary process of miRNA sponge genes for species-specific miRNA, especially for human specific miRNA, are largely unknown. In this study, we conducted a systematic analysis including sponge gene identification and subsequent function and evolutionary analyses for an authentic human-specific miRNA, miR-941.

Project description:miRNA-mediated gene expression silencing has previously been shown to be important for a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Here, we have explored the role of one bona fide human-specific miRNA (miR-941) in evolution of the human-specific expression and function. Using combination of high-throughput sequencing (GSE26545), miRNA transfection and large-scale PCR of various human populations, we have shown that emergence and rapid expansion of miR-941 might take place on the human evolutionary linage between six and one million years ago. Functionally, miR-941 could be associated with hedgehog and insulin signaling pathways, and thus might potentially play a role in evolution of human longevity. Human-specific effects of miR-941 regulation are detectable in human brain and affect genes involved in neurotransmitter signaling. Furthermore, emergence of miR-941 on the human evolutionary linage was accompanied by the accelerated loss of its binding sites. Taken together, these results strongly implicate the contribution of miR-941 in evolution of the human-specific phenotype. Cerebellum mRNA samples from 5 human, 5 chimpanzee and 1 rhesus macaque for Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Arrays were prepared following the standard GeneChip Whole Transcript (WT) Sense Target Labelling Assay.

Furthermore, emergence of miR-941 on the human evolutionary linage was accompanied by the accelerated loss of its binding sites. Taken together, these results strongly implicate the contribution of miR-941 in evolution of the human-specific phenotype. miRNA transfection experiments were conducted in 6 cell lines: two human derived kidney cell lines (HEK and 293T), one human skin fibroblast cell line (HSF2), two macaque derived kidney cell lines (LLCMK2 and FrhK-4), and one macaque skin fibroblast cell line (MSF). Briefly, cells were plated in 0.5 ml of growth medium 24h prior to transfection without antibiotics. miR-941 mimics-Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) complexes were prepared freshly before transfection based on the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were transfected in six-well plates using miRNA mimics-Lipofectamine 2000 with a final oligonucleotide concentration of 10nmol/L. In parallel, negative control transfections with mock oligonucleotides were conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol. After 24h, cells were harvested and total RNA were extracted using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and further processed and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays following the manufacturer’s instructions. The R RMA package was used to quantify gene expression levels.

Ago2 Immunoprecipitation (Ago2-IP) experiments after miR-941 overexpression were conducted in 293T cell line. Briefly, All transfections were performed using human 293T cells cultured in 6-well tissue culture plates. Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) was used for a Synthetic miR-941 or a scrambled oligo transfection, at 30 nmol/l each (final concentration) per 1x106 cells/well of a 6-well plate using DharmaFECT (GE Healthcare). Total 5x106 cells were collected and subjected to Ago2 immunoprecipitation (Ago2-IP) using the RNA isolation kit Mouse Ago2 (Wako Chemicals) according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a negative control, immunoprecipitation was performed using nonimmune IgG beads prepared with the antibody immobilization bead kit (Wako Chemicals). The IP pull down RNA was used as template for an “in vitro” transcription reaction generating biotin-labeled antisense cRNA. The cRNA was analyzed on affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays following the manufacturer’s instructions. R RMA package was used to quantify gene expression levels.

Project description:Rationale: microRNAs (miRNAs) modulate gene expression by repressing translation of targeted genes. Previous work has established a role for miRNAs in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) activity. Whether circular RNAs (circRNA) are involved in the modulation of miRNA activity in VSMCs is unknown. Objective: We aimed to identify circRNAs interacting with miRNAs enriched in VSMCs and modulating the cells' activity. Methods and Results: RNA sequencing and bioinformatics identified several circRNAs enriched in VSMCs; however, only one, possessing multiple putative binding sites for miR-145, was highly conserved between mouse and man. This circRNA gemmed from alternative splicing of lipoprotein receptor 6 (Lrp6), a gene highly expressed in vessels and implicated in vascular pathologies, and was thus named circ_Lrp6. Its role as a miR-145 sponge was confirmed by determining reciprocal interaction through RNA immunoprecipitation, stimulated emission depletion microscopy, and competitive luciferase assays; functional inhibition of miR-145 was assessed by measuring expression of the target genes ITGβ8, FASCIN, KLF4, Yes1, and Lox. The interaction was preferentially localized to P-bodies, sites of mRNA degradation. Using loss- and gain-of-function approaches, we found that circ_Lrp6 hindered miR-145-mediated regulation of VSMC migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Differential expression of miR-145 and circ_Lrp6 in murine and human vascular diseases suggests that the ratio of circ_Lrp6 bound to miR145 vs. unbound could play a role in vascular pathogenesis. Viral delivery of circ_Lrp6 shRNA prevented intimal hyperplasia in mouse carotids. Conclusions: circ_Lrp6 is an intracellular modulator and a natural sponge for miR-145, counterbalancing the functions of the miRNA in VSMCs.
