Project description:Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is frequently associated with a variety of cancers, including breast cancer. We and others have demonstrated that radiation-induced rat mammary cancer exhibits a characteristic gene expression profile and a random increase in aberrant DNA copy number; however, the role of aberrant miRNA expression is unclear. We performed a microarray analysis of frozen samples of eight mammary cancers induced by gamma-irradiation (2 Gy), eight spontaneous mammary cancers, and seven normal mammary samples. We found that a small set of miRNAs was characteristically overexpressed in radiation-induced cancer. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed that miR-135b, miR-192, miR-194, and miR-211 were significantly upregulated in radiation-induced mammary cancer compared with spontaneous cancer and normal mammary tissue. The expression of miR-192 and miR-194 also was upregulated in human breast cancer cell lines compared with non-cancer cells. Manipulation of the miR-194 expression level using a synthetic inhibiting RNA produced a small but significant suppression of cell proliferation and upregulation in the expression of several genes that are suggested to act as tumor suppressors in MCF-7 and T47D breast cancer cells. Thus, the induction of rat mammary cancer by radiation involves aberrant expression of miRNAs, which may favor cell proliferation. We performed miRNA microarray analysis on mammary carcinomas in Sprague-Dawley rat to identify radiation-specific miRNA expression patterns compared with spontaneous mammary carcinomas and normal mammary tissues.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 (FGF2 or basic FGF) mediates a wide range of biological functions, such as regulating proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, differentiation and injury repair. However, the roles of FGF2 and the underlying mechanisms of action in influenza virus (IAV) -induced lung injury remain largely unexplored. In this study, we firstly report miR-194 expression is significantly decreased in A549 cells following influenza virus A/Beijing/501/2009 (BJ501) infection. MiR-194 directly targeting FGF2, a novel antiviral regulator, could suppress FGF2 expression both in mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression miR-194 facilitate IAV replication via negatively regulating type I IFN production, and reintroduction of FGF2 abrogates miR-194-induced effects on promoting IAV replication. On the contrary, inhibition of miR-194 alleviate IAV induced lung injury via promoting type I IFNs antiviral activities in vivo. Importantly, contrary to FGF2 activated RIG-I signaling pathway, miR-194 suppressed TBK1 and IRF3 phosphorylation. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that miR-194-FGF2 axis play a vital role in IAV-induced lung injury, and miR-194 antagonism might be as a potential therapeutic target during IAV infection.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the cancer-related leading causes of death worldwide. Treatment of breast cancer is complex and challenging especially when metastasis is developed. In this study, we established a new concept of using infrared radiation as an alternative approach to breast cancer treatment. We used middle infrared (MIR) in the wavelength range of 3 to 5 μm to irradiate breast cancer cells. MIR significantly inhibited cell proliferation in several breast cancer cells, but did not affect the growth of normal breast epithelium cells. We performed iTRAQ-coupled LC-MS/MS system to investigate the MIR-triggered molecular mechanisms in breast cancer cells. A total of 1,749 proteins were quantified and 167 proteins were considered to be regulated by MIR. Applying the functional enrichment analysis on the proteomics results, we confirmed that MIR caused G2/M cell cycle arrest, remodeled microtubule network to an astral pole arrangement, altered actin filament formation and focal adhesion molecule localization, and reduced cell migration activity and invasion ability. Together, our results uncover the collaborative effects of MIR regulated physiological responses in concentrated networks, demonstrating the potential implementation of infrared radiation in breast cancer therapy.

Project description:Hypertrophic scars, which result from aberrant fibrosis and disorganized collagen synthesis by skin fibroblasts, emerge due to disrupted wound healing processes. These scars present significant psychosocial and functional challenges to affected individuals. The current treatment limitations largely arise from an incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms of hypertrophic scar development. Recent studies, however, have shed light on the potential of exosomal non-coding RNAs interventions to mitigate hypertrophic scar proliferation. This research assesses the impact of exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs-Exos) on hypertrophic scar formation using a rabbit ear model. We employed Hematoxylin and Eosin staining, Masson’s Trichrome staining, and Immunohistochemical staining techniques to track scar progression. Our comprehensive analysis encompassed the differential expression of non-coding RNAs, enrichment analyses of functional pathways, protein-protein interaction studies, and miRNA-mRNA interaction investigations. The results reveal a marked alteration in the expression levels of long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs following ADSCs-Exos treatment, with little changes observed in circular RNAs. Notably, miR-194 emerges as a critical regulator within the signaling pathways that govern hypertrophic scar formation. Dual-luciferase assays indicated a significant reduction in the promoter activity of TGF-β1 after miR-194 overexpression. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting assays further validated the decrease in TGF-β1 expression in the treated samples. Moreover, the treatment resulted in diminished levels of inflammatory markers IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-10. In vivo evidence strongly supports the role of miR-194 in attenuating hypertrophic scar formation through the suppression of TGF-β1. Our findings endorse the strategic use of ADSCs-Exos, particularly through miR-194 modulation, as an effective strategy for reducing scar formation and lowering pro-inflammatory and fibrotic indicators like TGF-β1. Therefore, this study advocates for the targeted application of ADSCs-Exos, with an emphasis on miR-194 modulation, as a promising approach to managing proliferative scarring.

Project description:Breast cancer ranks top in the incidence among the main sites of female cancer in Japan. The epidemiological study on atomic bomb survivors has suggested that the excess relative risk for breast cancer is higher than any other sites. Little is known, however, about the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer induction by radiation. Therefore, we analyzed here the genome-wide copy number aberration of radiation-induced rat mammary carcinomas using microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). Mammary carcinomas were induced by 2 Gy gamma irradiation of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at 3 or 7 weeks of age. We examined 14 mammary carcinomas induced by gamma-irradiation (2 Gy) and found 26 aberrations including trisomies of chromosomes 4 and 10 in 3 and 1 carcinomas, respectively, and deletion of chromosomes 3q35q36 and 5q32 (Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b region) in 2 and 2 carcinomas, respectively. On the other hand, only one aberration (amplification of chromosome 10q31) was observed in four spontaneous mammary carcinomas. These results suggest that the trisomy of chromosome 4 and deletion of chromosomes 3q35q36 and 5q32 were associated with radiation exposure. We performed aCGH on mammary carcinoma in Sprague-Dawley rat to identify radiation-specific DNA copy number aberration compared with spontaneous mammary carcinoma.

Project description:Increasing studies report that miR-194-5p plays a tumor suppressor role in gastric cancer (GC). Previous studies have revealed that miR-194 inhibited gastric cancer progression through different pathways by affecting the expression level of different target genes. For example, miR-194 have been reported to be able to regulate the expression of FOXM1, NR2F2, BMI1, SDAD1, RBX1, KDM5B, ZEB1 and AKT2 etc. It suggested that miR-194 may play complicated roles in GC. To figure out the mechanism of miR-194' tumor suppressor role in GC, we performed RNA sequencing in two different GC cell lines. Our studies showed that miR-194 tends to regulated target genes by binding on their 3' untranslated regions with either 7-mer-A1 or 7-mer-m8 or 8-mer. Approximately 138 genes were downregulated in both SGC7901 and BGC823 cell lines that transfected with miR-194-5p mimics compared to negative control siRNAs. Most of the downregulated genes have not reported yet.

Project description:Potent therapeutic inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate adenocarcinoma can lead to the emergence of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), a phenomenon associated with enhanced cell plasticity. Here, we show that microRNA-194 (miR-194) is a regulator of epithelial-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation. In clinical prostate cancer samples, miR-194 expression and activity were elevated in NEPC and inversely correlated with AR signalling. Over-expression of miR-194 facilitated the emergence of neuroendocrine features in prostate cancer cells, a process mediated by its ability to directly target a suite of genes involved in cell plasticity. One such target gene was FOXA1, which encodes a transcription factor with a vital role in maintaining the prostate epithelial lineage. Importantly, a miR-194 inhibitor blocked epithelial-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation and inhibited the growth of cell lines and patient-derived organoids possessing neuroendocrine features. Overall, our study reveals a post-transcriptional mechanism regulating the plasticity of prostate cancer cells and provides a rationale for targeting miR-194 in NEPC.
