MiR-150-5p and XIST interaction controls monocyte adherence: Implications for osteoarthritis therapy.

ABSTRACT: Recent literature highlights the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) functioning as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents in osteoarthritis (OA) and regulators of gene expression. In OA pathogenesis, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), especially vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1), recruit monocyte infiltration to inflamed synovial tissues and thus accelerate OA progression. Up until now, little has been known about the regulatory mechanisms between miRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and VCAM-1 during OA progression. The evidence in this article emphasizes that the functional feature of miR-150-5p is an interaction with the lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST), which regulates VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adherence in OA synovial fibroblasts (OASFs). Levels of VCAM-1, CD11b (a monocyte marker) and XIST expression were higher in human synovial tissue samples and OASFs, while levels of miR-150-5p were lower in human OA synovial tissue compared with non-OA specimens. XIST enhanced VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adherence to OASFs. Upregulation of miR-150-5p inhibited the effects of XIST upon monocyte adherence. Administration of miR-150-5p effectively ameliorated OA severity in anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) rats. The interaction of miR-150-5p and XIST regulated VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adherence and attenuated OA progression. Our findings suggest that miR-150-5p is a promising small-molecule therapeutic strategy for OA.

Project description:To date, the only effective pharmacological treatment for ischemic stroke is limited to the clinical use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), although endovascular therapy has also emerged as an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Unfortunately, the benefit of this treatment is limited to a 4.5-h time window. Most importantly, the use of rtPA is contraindicated in the case of hemorrhagic stroke. Therefore, the identification of a reliable biomarker to distinguish hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke could provide several advantages, including an earlier diagnosis, a better treatment, and a faster decision on ruling out hemorrhage so that tPA may be administered earlier. microRNAs (miRNAs) are stable non-coding RNAs crucially involved in the downregulation of gene expression via mRNA cleavage or translational repression. In the present paper, taking advantage of three preclinical animal models of stroke, we compared the miRNA blood levels of animals subjected to permanent or transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or to collagenase-induced hemorrhagic stroke. Preliminarily, we examined the rat miRNome in the brain tissue of ischemic and sham-operated rats; then, we selected those miRNAs whose expression was significantly modulated after stroke to create a list of miRNAs potentially involved in stroke damage. These selected miRNAs were then evaluated at different time intervals in the blood of rats subjected to permanent or transient focal ischemia or to hemorrhagic stroke. We found that four miRNAs-miR-16-5p, miR-101a-3p, miR-218-5p, and miR-27b-3p-were significantly upregulated in the plasma of rats 3 h after permanent MCAO, whereas four other different miRNAs-miR-150-5p, let-7b-5p, let-7c-5p, and miR-181b-5p-were selectively upregulated by collagenase-induced hemorrhagic stroke. Collectively, our study identified some selective miRNAs expressed in the plasma of hemorrhagic rats and pointed out the importance of a precise time point measurement to render more reliable the use of miRNAs as stroke biomarkers.
