Project description:Endothelial cell senescence is one of the most important causes of vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous RNA molecules with covalently closed-loop structures, which have been reported to be abnormally expressed in many human diseases. However, the potential role of circRNAs in endothelial cell senescence remains unknown. Here, we compared the expression patterns of circRNAs in young and senescent human endothelial cells using RNA sequencing. Among the differentially expressed endothelial cell senescence-associated circRNAs, we identified circGNAQ, generated by circularization of exons 4 and 5 of the GNAQ gene, as a circRNA showing markedly reduced levels in senescent endothelial cells. CircGNAQ silencing in young endothelial cells triggered senescence, as determined by a rise in senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, reduced cell proliferation, and suppressed angiogenesis; circGNAQ overexpression showed the opposite effects. Mechanistic studies revealed that circGNAQ acted as an endogenous miR-146a-5p sponge to sequester and inhibit miR-146a-5p activity, leading to increased PLK2 expression. In vivo studies showed that circGNAQ overexpression delayed endothelial cell senescence and atherosclerosis progression in ApoE-/- mice. These results revealed an important role for circGNAQ in cellular senescence and provide novel insight into the role of circRNAs in atherosclerosis progression.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function as modulators of gene expression. We previously showed that miR-146a-5p is upregulated in pancreatic islets treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines and in pancreatic sections from organ donors with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Other studies have associated overexpression of miR-146a-5p with β cell apoptosis and impaired insulin secretion; however, the molecular mechanisms mediating these effects remain elusive. To investigate the role of miR-146a-5p in β cell function, we developed stable MIN6 cell lines transduced with lentiviral vectors to either overexpress or inhibit the expression of miR-146a-5p. Monoclonal cell populations were treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, IFNg, and TNFα) to model T1D in vitro. We found that overexpression of miR-146a-5p increased the cell death of MIN6 cells under inflammatory stress, whereas inhibition of miR-146a-5p reversed these effects. Additionally, inhibition of miR-146a-5p increased mitochondrial DNA copy number, respiration rate, and ATP production, suggesting that miR-146a-5p inhibition improves mitochondrial function. In support of this finding, we also observed that miR-146a-5p is enriched in the mitochondria of MIN6 cells treated with cytokines. Consistently, bioinformatic analysis of RNA sequencing data using MIN6 stable cells showed enrichment of pathways related to insulin secretion, apoptosis, and mitochondrial function when the expression levels of miR-146a-5p were altered. Overall, the findings from our study show for the first time that miR-146a-5p upregulation during inflammatory stress may promote β cell dysfunction and death by suppressing mitochondrial function.

Project description:Bladder cancer characterized by RNA methylation abnormalities and NOTCH pathway dysregulation exhibits high recurrence that remains the major obstacle for bladder cancer treatment. Targeting methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and NOTCH signal is a potential strategy to block bladder cancer progression. However, the underlying mechanisms by which METTL3-manipulated NOTCH signal and its effect on bladder cancer tumorigenesis remain to be clarified. Here we showed that METTL3-guided m6A modification methylated pri-miR-146 at the flaking sequence, which was responsible for the pri-miR-146 maturation. Furthermore, NUMB/NOTCH2 axis was identified as the functional downstream target signal that mediated the pro-survival role of miR-146a-5p in bladder cancer cells. Therapeutically, the polypeptide melittin was demonstrated to induce apoptosis of bladder cancer cells in a METTL3-dependent manner. Importantly, METTL3 and miR-146a-5p were positively correlated with recurrence and poor prognosis of bladder cancer patient. Our studies indicate that METTL3/miR-146a-5p/NUMB/NOTCH2 axis could be a potential therapeutic target for recurrent bladder cancer treatment and METTL3 acts as a fate determinant that controls sensitivity of bladder cancer cells to melittin treatment.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is a malignant gynecologic disease rarely diagnosed in the early stages. Among ovarian cancers, clear cell carcinoma has a poor prognosis due to its malignant potential. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in cells by suppressing the translation of the target gene or by degrading the target mRNA. They are also secreted from the cells in the blood, binding to the proteins or lipids and assisting in cell-cell communication. Hence, serum miRNAs can also be diagnostic biomarkers for ovarian cancer. This study investigated and identified specific miRNAs for ovarian clear cell carcinoma and compared them to those of ovarian endometrioma in healthy patients. CA125, an ovarian tumor marker, did not differ between patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma, endometriosis, or healthy controls. Four miRNAs (miR-146a-5p, miR-191-5p, miR-484, and miR-574-3p) were analyzed. The miR-146a-5p and miR-191-5p expression levels were significantly increased in the serum samples from the patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma compared to the healthy controls but not in the patients with endometriosis (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the bioinformatics analysis showed that CCND2 and NOTCH2 were the candidate target genes of miR 146a-5p and miR-191-5p. In conclusion, our results showed that miR 146a-5p and miR-191-5p might be useful as early and non-invasive diagnostic tools in ovarian clear cell carcinoma. These miRNAs can help in distinguishing between ovarian clear cell carcinoma and ovarian endometrioma. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have screened any candidates specifically for clear cell carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced chronic liver disease is one of the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HCC development following chronic HCV infection remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cellular homeostasis within the liver and deregulation of the miRNome has been associated with liver disease including HCC. While host miRNAs are essential for HCV replication, viral infection in turn appears to induce alterations of intrahepatic miRNA networks. Although the cross-talk between HCV and liver cell miRNAs most likely contributes to liver disease pathogenesis, the functional involvement of miRNAs in HCV-driven hepatocyte injury and HCC remains elusive. Here, we combined a hepatocyte-like based model system, high-throughput small RNA-sequencing, computational analysis and functional studies to investigate HCV-miRNA interactions that may contribute to liver disease and HCC. Profiling analyses indicated that HCV infection differentially regulated the expression of 72 miRNAs by at least two-fold including miRNAs that were previously described to target genes associated with inflammation, fibrosis and cancer development. Further investigation demonstrated that miR-146a-5p was consistently increased in HCV-infected hepatocyte-like cells and primary human hepatocytes as well as in liver tissues from HCV-infected patients. Genome-wide microarray and computational analyses indicated that miR-146a-5p over-expression is related to liver disease and HCC development. Furthermore, we showed that miR-146a-5p positively impacts on late steps of the viral replication cycle thereby increasing HCV infection. Collectively, our data indicate that the HCV-induced increase in miR-146a-5p expression both promotes viral infection and is relevant for pathogenesis of liver disease. To explore the functional relevance of miR-146a-5p up-regulation, we performed a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of hepatocyte-like cells upon ectopic miR-146a-5p expression.

To investigate the role of miR-146a in psoriasis psoriasiform skin inflammation was indeuced in Mir-146a-/- and wild type mice (C57BL6J) by topical applciation of imiquimod (IMQ)-cream (Aldara). Gene expression profiling (Affymetrix) was used to identify transcriptomic changes associated with psoriasis-like skin inflammation in wild type vs. miR-146a -/-mice. A daily topical dose of 31.25 mg of Aldara cream (5% IMQ) was applied on the right ear of miR-146a -/- and C57BL/6 mice on three consecutive days to induce psorisis-like skin inflammation. Mice were sacrificed at day 4. Ear flaps were collected for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymatrix GeneTitan plate format Gene ST 2.1 (mouse).
