Comparative Analysis Of miRNA Profile In Human Dendritic Cells Infected With Respiratory Syncytial Virus And Human Metapneumovirus

ABSTRACT: Background. Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), are responsible for respiratory diseases mostly in children. In spite of the resemblance between these two pneumoviruses, they elicit a different extent of immune response. miRNAs are small non coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and are involved in numerous cellular processes including the immune system. Methodology. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) were differentiated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and infected at an MOI of 3 for 24h. RNA was isolated to analyze the miRNAs transcription by high throughput sequencing using illumina technology. Principal findings. Infection with HMPV up-regulated the expression of hsa-miR-4448, while RSV infection induced significant expression of hsa-miR-30a-5p, hsa-miR-182-5p, hsa-miR-1913, hsa37, miR-4448 and hsa-miR-4634. Conclusions/Significance. In human monocyte derived dendritic cells (moDC), RSV and HMPV induced different profiles of miRNA expression. Understanding the changes of miRNA expression profiles by RSV and HMPV in immune cells will further our understanding of the differential immune response induced by these respiratory viruses

Project description:The molecular response to hypoxia is a critical cellular process implicated in cancer, and a target for drug development. The activity of the major player, HIF1M-NM-1,M-BM- is regulated at different levels, including the transcriptional level by the Ets factor ELK3. The molecular mechanisms of this intimate transcriptional connection remain largely unknown. Whilst investigating global ELK3-chromatin interactions, we uncovered an unexpected connection that involves the microRNA hsa-miR-155-5p, a hypoxia-inducible oncomir that targets HIF1M-NM-1. One of the ELK3 chromatin binding sites, detected by Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation Sequencing (ChIP-seq) of normal Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC), is located at the transcription start site of the MIR155HG genes that expresses hsa-miR-155-5p. We confirmed that ELK3 binds to this promoter by ChIP and QPCR. We showed that ELK3 and hsa-miR-155-5p form a double-negative regulatory loop. ELK3 depletion induced hsa-miR-155-5p expression, and hsa-miR-155-5p expression decreased ELK3 expression at the RNA level through a conserved target sequence in its 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-UTR. We further showed that the activities of hsa-miR-155-5p and ELK3 are functionally linked. Pathway analysis indicates that both factors are implicated in related processes, including cancer and angiogenesis. hsa-miR-155-5p expression and ELK3 depletion have similar effects on expression of known ELK3 target genes, and in-vitro angiogenesis and wound closure. Bioinformatic analysis of cancer RNA-seq data shows that hsa-miR-155-5p and ELK3 expression are significantly anti-correlated, as would be expected from hsa-miR-155-5p targeting ELK3 RNA. Hypoxia (0% oxygen) down-regulates ELK3 mRNA in a microRNA and hsa-miR-155-5p dependent manner. These results tie ELK3 into the hypoxia response pathway through an oncogenic microRNA and into a circuit implicated in the dynamics of the hypoxic response.M-BM- This crosstalk could be important in the development of new treatments for a range of pathologies.
