MiRNA profiling by array of human paired adipose tissue (subcutaneous and omentum) before and after gastric-bypass and weight loss

ABSTRACT: Objective: Adipose tissue plays a key role in obesity related metabolic dysfunction. MicroRNA (miRNA) are gene regulatory molecules involved in inter-cellular and inter-organ communication. We hypothesised that miRNA levels in adipose tissue would change after gastric bypass surgery and that this would provide insights into their role in obesity-induced metabolic dysregulation. Methods: miRNA-profiling (Affymetrix_Gene-Chip_miRNA2.0_Arrays) of omental and subcutaneous adipose (n=15 females) before, and after, gastric bypass surgery. Results: One omental, and thirteen subcutaneous adipose miRNAs were significantly, differentially expressed after gastric bypass, including down-regulation of miR-223-3p and its antisense relative, miR-223-5p, in both adipose tissues. mRNA levels of miR-223-3p targets NLRP3 and GLUT4 were increased and decreased respectively following gastric bypass in both adipose tissues. Significantly more NLRP3 protein was observed in omental adipose after gastric bypass (P=0.02). Significant hypomethlyation of NLRP3 and hypermethylation of miR-223 was observed in both adipose tissues after gastric bypass. In subcutaneous adipose significant correlations were observed between both miR-223-3p and miR-223-5p and glucose, and between NLRP3 mRNA and protein levels and blood lipids. Conclusions: This is the first report detailing genome-wide miRNA-profiling of omental adipose before and after gastric bypass, and further highlights a link between miR-223-3p and the NLRP3 inflammasome in obesity.

Project description:Objective: Emerging evidence suggested that brain angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) deficiency contributed to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Meanwhile, our previous studies revealed that restoration of brain Ang-(1-7) levels provided neuroprotection by inhibition of inflammatory responses during AD progress. However, the potential molecular mechanisms by which Ang-(1-7) modulates neuroinflammation remain unclear. Materials and Methods: APP/PS1 mice were injected intraperitoneally with AVE0991 (a nonpeptide analogue of Ang-(1-7)) once a day for 30 consecutive days. Cognitive functions, neuronal and synaptic integrity, and inflammation-related markers were assessed. Since astrocytes played a crucial role in AD-related neuroinflammation whilst long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were reported to participate in modulating inflammatory responses, astrocytes of APP/PS1 mice were then isolated for high-throughput lncRNA sequencing to identify the most differentially expressed lncRNA following AVE0991 treatment. Afterward, the downstream pathway of this lncRNA in the anti-inflammatory action of AVE0991 were investigated using primary astrocytes. Results: The protection of AVE0991 against cognitive impairment and neuronal and synaptic damage in APP/PS1 mice was confirmed. For the first time, we demonstrated that AVE0991 suppressed astrocytic NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation via a lncRNA SNHG14-dependent manner. SNHG14 acted as a sponge of miR-223-3p while NLRP3 represented a direct target of miR-223-3p in astrocytes. In addition, miR-223-3p participated in the AVE0991-induced suppression of astrocytic NLRP3 inflammasome. Conclusion: These results suggest that AVE0991 inhibits astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation via SNHG14/miR-223-3p/NLRP3 pathway. Moreover, these results reveal the underlying mechanisms by which Ang-(1-7) inhibits neuroinflammation under AD condition and uncovers the potential of its nonpeptide analogue AVE0991 in AD treatment.

Project description:Two miRNA arms from the same precursor, miR-574-5p and miR-574-3p, were reversely expressed and played exact opposite role in gastric cancer progression. miR-574-5p/-3p ratio was also strongly correlated with higher TNM stages and shorter survival of patients. The increase of miR-574-5p/-3p ratio, or the arm-imbalance of miR-574 was due to the dynamic expression of their highly complementary targets in gastric carcinogenesis. The arm imbalance of miR-574 in turn strongly contributed to and further promoted gastric cancer progression. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that targets mediated miR-574 arm-imbalance contributed to gastric cancer progression. Re-modification of the miR-574-targets homeostasis may represent a realistic approach for gastric cancer prevention and therapy.

Project description:To map the genetics of gene expression in metabolically relevant tissues and investigate the diversity of expression SNPs (eSNPs) in multiple tissues from the same individual, we collected four tissues from approximately 1,000 patients undergoing Roux-en-y gastric bypass and clinical traits associated with their weight loss and co-morbidities. We then performed high-throughput genotyping and gene expression profiling and carried out a genome-wide association analyses for more than one hundred thousand gene expression traits representing four metabolically relevant tissues; liver, omental adipose, subcutaneous adipose and stomach. We successfully identified 24,531 eSNPs corresponding to ~10,000 distinct genes. This represents the greatest number of eSNPs identified to our knowledge by any study to date and the first study to identify eSNPs from stomach tissue. We then demonstrate how these eSNPs provide a high quality disease map for each tissue in morbidly obese patients to not only inform genetic associations indentified in this cohort, but in previously published genome wide association studies as well. eSNPs and gene co-expression modules identification in morbidly obese patients represent a great resource that will aid in elucidating the key networks associated with morbid obesity, response to RYGB and disease as a whole. Keywords: Tissue profiling in a human cohort. Omental adipose tissue was collected from patients at the time of RYGB surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital between 2000 and 2007. Samples were collected in RNAlater (Ambion/Applied Biosystems), stored at -80° and shipped to Rosetta Inpharmatics Gene Expression Laboratory Seattle, WA for extraction, amplification, labeling, and microarray processing. Samples processed ranged in size from 100-200mg. Total RNA extracted from omental adipose was converted to fluorescently labeled cRNA that was hybridized to custom 44K DNA oligonucleotide microarrays manufactured by Agilent Technologies as described previously (Hughes et al. 2001; Schadt et al. 2008). Successful gene expression profiling results were collected from 848 omental adipose samples.
