Project description:<p><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> To explore the cardioprotective effects of exercise-derived β-aminoisobutyric (BAIBA) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and energy metabolism in a rat model of heart failure (HF).</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> In male Sprague-Dawley rats (8-week-old), myocardial infarction (MI) was used to induce HF by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. In the Sham group, the coronary artery was threaded but not ligated. After HF development, Sham and HF rats were exercised 60 min daily, 5 days per week on a treadmill for 8 weeks (50-60% maximal intensity) and exercise-induced cardiac remodeling after MI were assessed using echocardiography, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson’s Trichrome and TUNEL staining for the detection of apoptosis-associated factors in cardiac tissue. High-throughput sequencing and mass spectrometry were used to measure BAIBA production and to explore its cardioprotective effects and molecular actions. To further characterize the cardioprotective effects of BAIBA, an <em>in vitro</em> model of apoptosis was generated by applying H2O2 to H9C2 cells to induce mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, cells were transfected with either a miR-208b analogue or a miR-208b inhibitor. Apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western Blotting (WB). ATP production was also assessed by luminometry. After administration of BAIBA and Compound C, the expression of proteins related to apoptosis, mitochondrial function, lipid uptake and β-oxidative were determined. Changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed by fluorescence microscopy. In addition, alterations in membrane potential (δψm) were obtained by confocal microscopy.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Rats with HF after MI are accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic stress and apoptosis. Reduced expression of apoptosis-related proteins was observed, together with increased ATP production and reduced mitochondrial dysfunction in the exercised compared with the Sham (non-exercised) HF group. Importantly, exercise increased the production of BAIBA, irrespective of the presence of HF. To assess whether BAIBA had similar effects to exercise in ameliorating HF-induced adverse cardiac remodeling, rats were treated with 75 mg/kg/day of BAIBA and we found BAIBA had a similar cardioprotective effect. Transcriptomic analyses found that the expression of miR-208b was increased after BAIBA administration, and subsequent transfection with an miR-208b analogue ameliorated both the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and energy metabolism in H2O2-treated H9C2 cells. In combining transcriptomic with metabolomic analyses, we identified AMPK as a downstream target for BAIBA in attenuating metabolic stress in HF. Further cell experiments confirmed that BAIBA increased AMPK phosphorylation and had a cardioprotective effect on downstream fatty acid uptake, oxidative efficiency and mitochondrial function, which was prevented by the AMPK inhibitor Compound C.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>Exercise-generated BAIBA can reduce cardiomyocyte metabolic stress and apoptosis induced by mitochondrial dysfunction through the miR-208b/AMPK pathway.</p>

Project description:We designed microRNA-responsive, modified mRNA switches (miR-switches) that quantitatively control their own translation level by determining the miRNA activities. We found that the three miR-switches (i.e., miR-1-, miR-208-, and miR-499-switches) enable to purify cardiomyocytes differentiated from hPSCs with high efficiency, accuracy, and safety. The purified cardiomyocytes were engrafted in mouse heart and did not form tumor. Simultaneous purification of two different cell types, cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells, was also performed by transfecting the mRNA responding to the both miR-208 and miR-126, into heterogeneous cell population derived from hPSCs. In addition, selective induction of apoptosis in noncardiomyocytes triggered by miR-1/208-Bim switch enriched cardiomyocytes without cell sorting. The mRNA switch could purify desired cell types and control cell death pathways by monitoring the miRNA expression dynamics during cell fate conversion.

Project description:OBJECTIVES: This study aims to define a microRNA signature in chronic AF (CAF) and to unravel key target genes contributing to the atrial remodelling. METHODS: Total RNA from atrial biopsies of 2 sinus rhythm (SR) and 4 CAF patients was analyzed by microRNA(miR)-array. Expression of most deregulated miRs and their actions on specific targets were confirmed by qRT-PCR in human and ovine samples and validated in HL-1 cells and myocytes isolated from CAF patients. After bioinformatics prediction of targets and signaling, and through lentiviral miR-transduction or mimics-miR transfection of HL-1 cells, effects on main predicted regulatory pathways were analyzed. RESULTS: 38 microRNAs showed significant changes in expression in CAF atrial samples (>2-fold) and among them, miR-208a and miR-208b were confirmed to be significantly upregulated (>2 and >5-fold, respectively). Bioinformatics analysis predicted 70 pairs of CAF-altered mRNAs/miR-208a/b interactions. We confirmed that miR-208a and b directly targeted muscle cardiac gene program and canonical Wnt-signaling receptors and seemed to repress indirectly CX43. L-type Ca(2+) channel genes (CACNA1C and CACNB2) and sarcoplasmic reticulum-calcium pump SERCA2 were repressed by miR-208b at transcriptional, posttranscriptional and functional levels. CONCLUSION:In this work we report for the first time the role of miR-208b upregulation in the control of calcium balance in CAF.

Project description:Isolation of specific cell types, including pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived populations, is frequently accomplished using cell surface antigens expressed by the cells of interest. However, specific antigens for many cell types have not been identified, making their isolation difficult. Here, we describe an efficient method for purifying cells based on endogenous miRNA activity. We designed synthetic mRNAs encoding a fluorescent protein tagged with sequences targeted by miRNAs expressed by the cells of interest. These miRNA switches control their own translation levels by sensing miRNA activities. Several miRNA switches (miR-1-, miR-208a-, and miR-499a-5p-switches) efficiently purified cardiomyocytes differentiated from human PSCs, and switches encoding the apoptosis inducer Bim enriched for cardiomyocytes without cell sorting. This approach is generally applicable, as miR-126-, miR-122-5p- and miR-375-switches purified endothelial cells, hepatocytes and INSULIN-producing cells differentiated from hPSCs, respectively. Thus, miRNA switches can purify cell populations for which other isolation strategies are unavailable.

Project description:We showed novel synthetic microRNA (miRNA) switch system, which can purify large quantities of iPSC-CMs using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). We used miR-208a, which is specifically expressed in cardiomyocytes, as a specific miRNA of CMs, and CD4 as a selection marker for MACS. We synthesized a miRNA switch encoding CD4 tagged with complementary sequences against miR-208a (miR-208a CD4 switch). We transfected this switch into differentiated cells, and easily got efficiently purified CMs in a large scale with MACS. In addition, we demonstrated that purified cells were shown to be engrafted as CMs in mouse hearts.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) converts 4-thiouracil (4TUc) into 4-thiouridine (4TUd), which is incorporated into nascent RNAs and can be biotinylated, then labeled with streptavidin conjugates or isolated via streptavidin-affinity methods. Here, we generated mice that expressed T. gondii UPRT only in cardiomyocytes (CMUPRT mice) and tested our hypothesis that CM-derived miRNAs (CMmiRs) are transferred into remote organs after myocardial infarction (MI) by small extracellular vesicles (sEV) that are released from the heart into the peripheral blood (PBsEV). We found that 4TUd was incorporated with high specificity and sensitivity into RNAs isolated from the hearts and PBsEV of CMUPRT mice six hours after 4TUc injection. In PBsEV, 4TUd was incorporated into CM-specific/enriched miRs including miR-208a, but not into miRs with other organ or tissue-type specificities. 4TUd-labeled miR208a was also present in lung tissues, especially lung endothelial cells (ECs), and CM-derived miR-208a (CMmiR-208a) levels peaked 12 hours after experimentally induced MI in PBsEV and 24 hours after MI in the lung. Notably, miR-208a is expressed from intron 29 of alpha myosin heavy chain (a-MHC), but a-MHC transcripts were nearly undetectable in the lung. When PBsEV from mice that underwent MI (MI-PBsEV) or sham surgery (Sham-PBsEV) were injected into intact mice, the expression of Tmbim6 and NLK, which are suppressed by miR-208a and cooperatively regulate inflammation via the NF-kappa B pathway, was lower in the lungs of MI-PBsEV-treated animals than the lungs of animals treated with Sham-PBsEV or saline. In MI mice, Tmbim6 and NLK were downregulated, whereas endothelial adhesion molecules and pro-inflammatory cells were upregulated in the lung; these changes were significantly attenuated when the mice were treated with miR-208a antagomirs prior to MI surgery. Thus, CMUPRT mice enables us to track sEV-mediated transport of CMmiRs and identify an miR-208a-mediated mechanism by which myocardial injury alters the expression of genes and inflammatory response in the lung.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an evolutionarily conserved large class of small non-coding RNAs that mediate post-transcriptional silencing of genes and influence a broad spectrum of biological processes ranging from embryonic development to organismal death. Our previous study identified the miR-29 family, three paralogous species of miR-29a/b/c, as the most predominantly expressed small RNA in aged mouse brain compared to neonate one. The mouse brain miR-29 is highly astrocytic. Its expression is quiescent during early brain development, and thereafter steadily increases to a saturating level around the end of the reproductive phase. To explore the functional relevance of miR-29 expression to the neural physiology of mouse brain from the mechanistic perspective of mammalian species-specific lifespan, we here designed a gain-of-function approach through forced expression of miR-29 in astrocyte from mouse fetus and surveyed the resulting alteration in the transcriptional and translational levels. DNA microarray analyses retrieved a total of 5,589 genes showing a temporal significant expression changes in the miR-29-transfected fetal astrocytes, and classified them into two gene groups positively or negatively regulated by miR-29. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantification of translational products of miR-29-responsive genes identified 18 species of miR-29 target candidates. We performed functional enrichment analyses using bioinformatics resources to elucidate the biological roles of the gene sets thus identified, and obtained their expression trend that favor the processes for facilitating cell differentiation while supporting normal cell proliferation /survival, which was different from the functional signatures of miR-29 at adult stages, implying the bifunctional property of miR-29 depending on the developmental context. Our present results strongly suggest that miR-29 serves as the central coordinator to shift the global gene expression in the developing mouse brain toward matured phenotype, and through which ensure the programmed transition to the post-developmental stage that is inherently set for the mouse lifespan. DNA microarray experiment: Sample labeling, hybridization and washing were performed following the standard protocol detailed in the Agilent One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis ver.5.7. Briefly, a One-color Spike-Mix was diluted 1000-fold and a 5-μl aliquot of the diluted mix were added to every 0.5 μg of total RNA samples (three each of extraction replicates of miR-29-treated sample and control sample named elsewhere) prior to labeling reaction. The labeling reaction was carried out separately for the RNA samples using a Quick Amp Labeling Kit one-color, in the presence of cyanine 3-CTP. The dye-labeled target (1.6 μg as cRNA) was fragmented and hybridized on an Agilent Whole Mouse Genome 4X44K microarray at 65°C for 17 hr with a Gene Expression Hybridization Kit. The hybridized slide was washed in Gene Expression Wash Buffer 1 at room temperature for 1 min, which was followed by a wash for 1 min in Gene Expression Wash Buffer 2. The processed microarrays were scanned using an Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner. Data extraction from raw image files was done with Agilent Feature Extraction software ver.10.7.

Project description:To investigate the potential effect of grazing movement on miRNA circulation in cattle, here we profiled miRNA expression in centrifugally prepared exosomes from the plasma of both grazing and housed Japanese Shorthorn cattle. Microarray analysis of the c-miRNAs resulted in detection of a total of 231 bovine exosomal miRNAs in the plasma, with a constant expression level of let-7g across the duration and cattle groups. Expression of muscle-specific miRNAs such as miR-1, miR-133a, miR-206, miR-208a/b, and miR-499 were undetectable, suggesting the mildness of grazing movement as exercise.

Plasma exosome samples prepared from three cattle for each treatment were collected and mixed within the treatment at each time for microarray analysis .
