MicroRNA hsa-miR-25-3p suppresses the expression and drug induction of CYP2B6 in human hepatocytes.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6), mainly expressed in the liver and brain, is important for processing a number of widely used drugs. Variations in CYP2B6 expression are associated with decreased drug efficacy or adverse effects in some patients. Although CYP2B6 genetic variants are associated with its differential expression, epigenetic mechanisms affecting CYP2B6 gene regulation have not been established. Sequence analysis identified 29 domains in the CYP2B6 mRNA transcript that could be subject to regulation by microRNAs. Inverse correlations were found in human hepatocytes for the levels of the microRNAs hsa-miR-504-5p and hsa-miR-25-3p compared with CYP2B6 mRNA. Reporter gene assays showed that hsa-miR-25-3p suppresses CYP2B6 expression by targeting a specific sequence in the 3'-untranslated region of the mRNA transcript. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays confirmed that hsa-miR-25-3p forms stable complexes with its cognate mRNA sequence and that it recruits cellular factors, including Ago-4. Transfection of HepaRG cells with hsa-miR-25-3p mimics inhibited expression of the endogenous CYP2B6 gene and it also decreased rifampicin-dependent induction of CYP2B6 at the mRNA and protein levels. In summary, in silico and in vitro analyses show that hsa-miR-25-3p suppresses CYP2B6 expression in human liver cells via an epigenetic mechanism.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) between Lynch syndrome (LS) and the normal colonic (N-C) control samples, predict the target genes (TGs) and analyze the potential functions of the DEMs and TGs. The miRNA expression dataset GSE30454, which included data of 13 LS and 20 N-C tissue samples, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. The classical t-test in Linear Models for Microarray Data package was used for DEM identification. TG prediction was performed using 5 databases. The regulatory network of the DEMs and their TGs was constructed using Cytoscape. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis was performed. The transcription factors (TFs), tumor-associated genes (TAG) and tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) were then identified. Three key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p were identified. Hsa-miR-520e and hsa-miR-137 had 4 common TGs, including SNF related kinase, metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), round spermatid basic protein 1 and YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-137 had 14 common TGs, including NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1), EPH receptor A7, and stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-520e had 12 common TGs, including Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 13, twinfilin actin binding protein 1, and nuclear factor I B. Through the functional and pathway enrichments analysis, MTF1 was involved in regulation of gene expression and metabolic processes, and sequence-specific DNA binding TF activity. KLF13 was involved in regulation of gene expression and regulation of cellular metabolic processes. NCK1 was enriched in the axon guidance pathway. In addition, the functional and pathway enrichment analysis showed certain TGs, such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, AKT serine/threonine kinase 2, and rapamycin-insensitive companion of mammalian target of rapamycin, participated in the mTOR signaling pathway. The 3 key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p may have important roles in the process of LS.

Project description:This study aimed to determine the effect of miR-186-3p and KRT18 interaction on the biological behavior of colon cancer cells. A biotin-microRNA pull-down assay was performed to identify potential miRNAs. qRT-PCR was used to verify the KRT18 and miR-186-3p levels. In addition, Western blotting was used to detect the KRT18 protein levels. The functional connection between KRT18 and miR-186-3p was confirmed using a dual luciferase reporter assay. BrdU incorporation, MTT assay, and flow cytometry were performed to verify the biological function coupled with in vivo assays. A significant decrease in miR-186-3p expression was observed in colon carcinoma tissues and cells. Functionally, overexpression of miR-186-3p displayed an obvious suppressive action on cell proliferation and viability, and a stimulatory action on the apoptotic ability of SW620 and SW480 cells. Conversely, reduced miR-186-3p had a marked stimulatory effect on proliferation and viability, and a suppressive apoptotic effect. Inhibition of tumorigenesis was observed in mice treated with the miR-186-3p agomir. Furthermore, we identified that miR-186-3p regulated KRT18 levels in colon carcinoma, where silenced KRT18 suppressed proliferation and viability and promoted apoptosis. However, the addition of a miR-186-3p inhibitor weakened the effects of si-KRT18. Additionally, the activation of MAPK signaling pathway upon miR-186-3p silencing was antagonized by the combined transfection of si-KRT18 and miR-186-3p inhibitor. miR-186-3p suppresses proliferation and viability, but facilitates apoptosis in colon cancer cells by targeting KRT18 and negatively regulating the MAPK signaling pathway, indicating that the miR-186-3p/KRT18 axis may be a promising therapeutic target for colon carcinoma.Abbreviations: KRT18: keratin 18; NC: negative control; si‑: small interfering RNA; inhibitor: miR-186-3p inhibitor; OD: optical density; PI: propidium iodide; FITC: fluorescein isothiocyanate; 3'UTR: 3'untranslated region; WT: wild-type; MUT: mutant-type; miR: microRNA.
