Age-dependent increase of oxidative stress regulates microRNA-29 family preserving cardiac health

ABSTRACT: The short-lived turquoise killifish Nothobranchius furzeri (Nfu) is a valid model for aging studies. Here, we investigated its age-associated cardiac function. We observed oxidative stress accumulation and an engagement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the aging heart. MiRNA-sequencing of 5 week (young), 12-21 week (adult) and 28-40 week (old) Nfu hearts revealed 23 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated miRNAs with age. MiR-29 family turned out as one of the most up-regulated miRNAs during aging. MiR-29 family increase induces a decrease of known targets like collagens and DNA methyl transferases (DNMTs) paralleled by 5´methyl-cytosine (5mC) level decrease. To further investigate miR-29 family role in the fish heart we generated a transgenic zebrafish model where miR-29 was knocked-down. In this model we found significant morphological and functional cardiac alterations and an impairment of oxygen dependent pathways by transcriptome analysis leading to hypoxic marker up-regulation. To get insights the possible hypoxic regulation of miR-29 family, we exposed human cardiac fibroblasts to 1% O2 levels. In hypoxic condition we found miR-29 down-modulation responsible for the accumulation of collagens and 5mC. Overall, our data suggest that miR-29 family up-regulation might represent an endogenous mechanism aimed at ameliorating the age-dependent cardiac damage leading to hypertrophy and fibrosis.

Aging triggers H3K27 trimethylation hoarding in the chromatin of Nothobranchius furzeri skeletal muscle.

Project description:Aging associates with progressive loss of skeletal muscle function leading up to sarcopenia, a process characterized by impaired mobility and weaken muscle strength. Sarcopenia underpinning molecular mechanisms are still poorly characterized. Since, aging associates with profound epigenetic changes, the investigation of the epigenetic landscape alteration in the skeletal muscle promises to highlight molecular mechanisms of age-associated sarcopenia. Here, the study was conducted exploiting the short-lived Nothobranchius furzeri (Nfu), a relatively new model for aging studies. The epigenetic analysis suggested for a less accessible and more condensed chromatin in old Nfu skeletal muscle. Specifically, an accumulation of heterochromatin regions was observed as consequence of increased levels of H3K27me3, HP1a, polycomb complex subunit expression and SAHFs. Consistently, euchromatin histone marks, including H3K9ac, decreased. The integrative bioinformatics analysis of RNASeq and ChIPSeq dataset, related to skeletal muscle of Nfu at different ages, revealed a down-modulation of transcripts involved in cell cycle, differentiation and DNA repair and an up-regulation of inflammation and senescence genes. Undoubtedly, more studies are needed to disclose the detailed mechanisms, but this approach shed light on unprecedented specific features of Nfu skeletal muscle aging, responsible of sarcopenia onset and consequent impairment of swimming and mobility activity typical of old Nfu.

Modulation of miR-29 influences myocardial compliance likely through coordinated regulation of calcium handling and extracellular matrix

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs) control the expression of diverse subsets of target mRNAs, and studies have found miR dysregulation in failing hearts. Expression of miR-29 is abundant in heart, increased with aging, and altered in cardiomyopathies. Prior studies demonstrate that miR-29 reduction via genetic knockout or pharmacologic blockade can blunt cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in mice. Surprisingly, this depended on specifically blunting miR-29 actions in cardiomyocytes versus fibroblasts. To begin developing more translationally-relevant vectors, we generated a novel transgene-encoded miR-29 inhibitor (TuD-29) that can be incorporated into a viral-mediated gene therapy for cardioprotection. Herein, we corroborate that miR-29 expression and activity is higher in cardiomyocytes versus fibroblasts and demonstrate that TuD-29 effectively blunts hypertrophic responses in cultured cardiomyocytes and mouse hearts. Furthermore, we found that adeno-associated viral (AAV)-mediated miR-29 overexpression in mouse hearts induces early diastolic dysfunction, whereas AAV:TuD-29 treatment improves cardiac output by increasing end-diastolic and stroke volumes. Integration of RNA-seq and miR-target interactomes reveals that miR-29 regulates genes involved in calcium handling, cell stress and hypertrophy, metabolism, ion transport, and extracellular matrix remodeling. These investigations support a likely versatile role for miR-29 in influencing myocardial compliance and relaxation, potentially providing a unique therapeutic avenue to improve diastolic function in heart failure patients.

miR-29 targets in human fetal lung fibroblast IMR-90 cells

Project description:TGFβ is one of most intensively studied regulators of extracellular matrix formation, and has been implicated in the development of pulmonary fibrosis in different models. However, little is know about the role of miRNAs in TGFβ mediated fibrogenic gene regulation. By using miRNA qRT-PCR array, we have identified miRNAs whose expression are regulated by TGFβ in IMR-90 cells. Among those down-regulated miRNAs are miR-29 family members. Knockdown miR-29 in IMR-90 cells results in up-regulation of a large number of extracellular matrix and fibrogenic genes including family members of collagen, laminin, integrin, ADAM and MMP, many of them are predicted or confirmed miR-29 targets. Hierarchichal clustering analysis of mRNA array data revealed that many extracellular matrix and fibrogenic genes up-regulated by TGFβ in IMR-90 cells, are also up-regulated in miR-29 KD cells. Moreover, the similar set of extracellular matrix and fibrogenic genes is also significantly up-regulated in bleomycin treated mouse lungs. Together, our data strongly suggest that downstream of the TGFβ, miR-29 is a master modulator of genes involved in extracellular matrix formation and might play a significant role in pulmonary fibrosis.

Differential Gene Expression in Bladders of Wild-Type Mice Compared to Mice Lacking miroRNA-29a/b1

Project description:Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) refer to a spectrum of urological diseases, and incomplete bladder emptying is common among affected patients. The etiology of LUTS is largely unknown and evidence arising from epidemiologic, clinical, and basic research suggests that bladder fibrosis is an important contributing factor to pathogenesis of LUTS. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (~22 nucleotides), non-coding RNAs that repress target gene expression by a combination of mRNA degradation and translation inhibition. The miR-29 family is best known for its anti-fibrotic role in various organs. Recent studies have reported decreased miR-29 in bladders of patients with outlet obstruction and in a rat model of bladder outlet obstruction, suggesting that miR-29 may be associated with impaired bladder function subsequent to tissue fibrosis. In the present study, we characterized bladder function in male mice lacking expression of MIR29A and MIR29B1 (miR-29a/b1). We found that lack of miR-29a/b1 resulted in severe urinary retention, increased urination duration with reduced flow rate, and these mice failed to void or voided irregularly during anesthetized cytometry. Collagens and elastin were increased in the bladder walls of mice lacking miR-29a/b1. These findings reveal an important role of mir-29 in bladder homeostasis and suggest therapeutic potential of miR-29 to improve symptoms in patients with LUTS.

Inhibiting collagen I production and tumor cell colonization in the lung via miR-29a-3p loading of exosome-/liposome-based nanovesicles

Project description:The lung is one of the most common sites for cancer metastasis. Collagens in the lung provide a permissive microenvironment that supports the colonization and outgrowth of disseminated tumor cells. Therefore, down-regulating the production of collagens may contribute to the inhibition of lung metastasis. It has been suggested that miR-29 exhibits effective anti-fibrotic activity by negatively regulating the expression of collagens. Indeed, our clinical lung tumor data shows that miR-29a-3p expression negatively correlates with collagen I expression in lung tumors and positively correlates with patients’ outcomes. However, suitable carriers need to be selected to deliver this therapeutic miRNA to the lungs. In this study, we found that the chemotherapy drug cisplatin facilitated miR-29a-3p accumulation in the exosomes of lung tumor cells, and this type of exosomes exhibited a specific lung-targeting effect and promising collagen down-regulation. To scale up the preparation and simplify the delivery system, we designed a lung-targeting liposomal nanovesicle (by adjusting the molar ratio of DOTAP/cholesterol–miRNAs to 4:1) to carry miR-29a-3p and mimic the exosomes. This liposomal nanovesicle delivery system significantly down-regulated collagen I secretion by lung fibroblasts in vivo, thus alleviating the establishment of a pro- metastatic environment for circulating lung tumor cells.

mRNA profiling of human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells transfected with miR-29a and subjected to adipocyte differentiation

Project description:The human microRNA hsa-miR-29a is a member of the miR-29 family of microRNAs, which is expressed in the adipogenic lineage. To identify putative direct target mRNAs of the miR-29 family, and to get an idea about potential functions of the miR-29 family in adipocyte development, we transfected human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells with miR-29a mimics (leading to elevation of intracellular levels of mature miR-29a). Subsequently, gene expression profiling was performed for hMADS cells at day 0 (48 h after transfection) and at day 3, i.e. 3 days after adipocyte differentiation was induced by a chemically defined medium.

Effects of miRNA-mediated TET2 in prostate cancer

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. We identified that miR-29 family is the most androgen-responsive miRNA in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cells. For the screening of miR-29b target, we performed microarray analysis in two prostate cancer cells. Because TET2 is the primary target of miR-29 family by our analysis, we also performed TET2 signaling by microarray. In order to investigate the downsteam signals mediated by TET2 and miR-29b, we performed comprehensive analysis of gene expression in positive prostate cancer cell lines after siTET2 or miR-29b treatment.
