Project description:Currently, micro RNAs (miRNAs) constitute a promising models for cell-to-cell communication since they are transferred between cells to execute essential roles in many processes. Their structure and size, in addition to various transport mechanisms, allow them to remain stable within various biological fluids, surviving in extremely adverse conditions, including low pH, boiling, and freezing. The presence of miRNAs in reproductive fluids, such as follicular, uterine and seminal fluid, indicate potential roles in the reproductive system. These extracellular miRNAs can be transported by lipoproteins (both HDL and LDL) or other proteins, including Argonaute2 (AGO2) and nucleophosmin1 (NPM1). Another transport system is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as apoptotic bodies, microvesicles (MVs) and/or exosome-like vesicles. EVs protect miRNAs from degradation and contribute to their stability within biological fluids. Furthermore, EVs can transport a wide range of components packaged in a selective way. For instance, Squadrito et al. (2014), used macrophages and endothelial cells to demonstrate that the sorting of miRNAs into EVs for heterotrophic cell communication is altered by both, the presence of target transcripts and the self-presence of the respectively miRNA. In addition, the signature of miRNAs found in the exosomes significantly differed for those detected in the parent cells. To date, mechanisms controlling the specific loading of miRNAs into exosomes remain unclear. Indeed, several mechanisms may govern exosome sorting of specific subsets of miRNAs. MiRNA sorting appears to be influenced by different pathways and molecules in different cell types and tissues, and miRNAs contain well defined motifs (i.e., EXOmotifs), that direct the miRNA allocation into exosomes before delivery into recipient cells. A recent study showed that this RNA sequence can be recognized by the sumoylated form of the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (hnRNPA2B1). Moreover, a terminal 30 nucleotide addition in miRNAs affects their selective sorting in B cells. Another hypothesis suggests that RNAs are selectively sorted depending on the differential affinity of RNA motifs towards the raft-like region of the cytoplasmic surface of microvesicular body (MVB) limiting membranes. Current data indicate that cells can communicate with each other through the transfer of miRNA-loaded exosomes. For example, monocyte-derived exosomes deliver miR-150 to endothelial cells and enhance endothelial cell migration by reducing c-myb expression. The miRNA content of exosomes plays a critical role in such cell-to-cell communication and determines the fate of recipient cells. Thus, exosomes derived from the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells of myeloma patients promote tumor growth depending on the content of miR-15a in exosomes. Our group has described a novel cell-to-cell communication mechanism involving the delivery of endometrial miRNAs from the maternal endometrium to the trophectoderm cells of preimplantation embryos. Specifically, in B6C3 derived mouse embryos, we found EV-associated and free miR-30d to cause overexpression of genes involved in embryonic adhesion processes, including Itb3, Itga7 and Cdh5. Furthermore, supplementing murine embryos with miR-30d significantly improved embryo adhesion, suggesting that external miRNAs may have a functional role as transcriptomic modifiers of preimplantation embryos. Based on profiling of miRNAs in endometrial fluid, maternally-derived miRNAs are present within EVs in the uterine microenvironment. The internalization of maternally-derived exosomes has been visualized, but the mechanism by which miR-30d becomes incorporated into exosomes remains unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanism of hsa-miR-30d transfer from human endometrial epithelial cells (hEECs) to the interior of exosomes and eventually to early-stage blastocysts, using a mir-30d knockout murine mode.

Project description:To identify putative novel specific targets of miR-34a, miR-122, miR-206 and miR-210, we overexpressed these miRNAs in human Hela cells by transfecting them with synthetic pre-miRNAs or a synthetic “negative” pre-miRNA as control (miR-Neg1). RNA samples were harvested at 48 hours post-transfection and 2 independent experiments were carried out.

Project description:The skeletal myogenic lineage in developing embryos is specified within the somites and requires members of the Paired box (Pax) family of transcription factors. In particular, Pax3 is the first member of this family expressed in the central region of the dermomyotome and it is necessary for specification, migration and survival of the myogenic progenitors that will form the muscles of the limbs, diaphragm and tongue. To investigate Pax3 molecular functions in the developing mesoderm, we generated doxycycline-inducible mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells expressing untagged and HaFlag-tagged-Pax3. These cell lines were used to unbiasedly identify its interacting partners by tandem affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry.

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) are characterized by arm-wide chromosomal alterations. Loss at 14q is associated with disease aggressiveness in ccRCC, which responds poorly to chemotherapeutics. The 14q locus contains one of the largest miRNA clusters in the human genome; however, little is known about the contribution of these miRNAs to ccRCC pathogenesis. In this regard, we investigated the expression pattern of selected miRNAs at the 14q32 locus in TCGA kidney tumors and in ccRCC cell lines. We validated that the miRNA cluster is downregulated in ccRCC (and cell lines) as well as in papillary kidney tumors relative to normal kidney tissues and primary renal proximal tubule epithelial (RPTEC) cells. We demonstrated that agents modulating expression of DNMT1 (e.g., 5-Aza-deoxycytidine) could modulate miRNA expression in ccRCC cell lines. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, a Lysophospholipid mediator elevated in ccRCC) not only increased labile iron content but also modulated expression of 14q32 miRNAs. Through an overexpression approach targeting a subset of 14q32 miRNAs (specifically at subcluster A: miR-431, miR-432, miR-127, and miR-433) in 769-P cells, we uncovered changes in cellular viability and claudin-1, a tight junction marker. A global proteomic approach was implemented using these miRNA overexpressing cell lines which uncovered ATXN2 as a highly downregulated target, which has a role in chronic kidney disease pathogenesis. Collectively, these findings support a contribution of miRNAs at 14q32 in ccRCC pathogenesis.

Project description:To investigate the potential effect of grazing movement on miRNA circulation in cattle, here we profiled miRNA expression in centrifugally prepared exosomes from the plasma of both grazing and housed Japanese Shorthorn cattle. Microarray analysis of the c-miRNAs resulted in detection of a total of 231 bovine exosomal miRNAs in the plasma, with a constant expression level of let-7g across the duration and cattle groups. Expression of muscle-specific miRNAs such as miR-1, miR-133a, miR-206, miR-208a/b, and miR-499 were undetectable, suggesting the mildness of grazing movement as exercise.

Project description:TAp63 is a transcription factor belonging to the p53 family with important tumor suppressive functions. We show that TAp63-/- mice exhibit an increased susceptibility to UVR-induced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cuSCC). These tumors showed global disruption of miRNA and mRNA expression when compared to tumors arising in wild-type mice. A comparison to similarly sequenced human cuSCC tumors identified miR-30c-2* and miR-497 as being significantly underexpressed in cuSCC. Reintroduction of these miRNAs significantly inhibited the growth of cuSCC cell lines and xenografts. Proteomic profiling of cells transfected with either miRNA showed significant downregulation of proteins related to cell cycle progression and mitosis. A cross-platform comparison of the RNAseq and proteomics signatures identified 7 downregulated proteins, which are also frequently overexpressed in both mouse and human cuSCC. Knockdown of AURKA, KIF18B, PKMYT1, and ORC1 in cuSCC cell lines suppressed tumor cell proliferation and induced cell death. Additionally, we found that an investigational, oral, selective inhibitor of AURKA suppressed cuSCC cell growth and induced cell death, and showed anti-tumor effects in vivo. Our data establishes TAp63 as an essential regulator of miRNA expression during skin carcinogenesis and reveals a novel network of miRNAs and mRNAs, which include potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism responsible for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) progression. We analyzed microRNAs (miRNAs) expression profiling in aqueous humor (AH) of both POAG patients and normal controls, using a microarray-based approach. Subsequently, differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified using Bayes moderated t-test. Next, DEmiRNAs target genes were predicted based on miRNA databases, followed by GO analysis and pathway analysis using DAVID. Furthermore, OAG-related genes analysis for target genes was carried out using CTD database, respectively. Finally, verification of DEmiRNAs expression levels was performed by RT-qPCR. A total of 40 significant DEmiRNAs were identified between control and POAG groups, including 24 up-regulated miRNAs and 16 down-regulated miRNAs. Further, the target genes of hsa-miR-206, including BMP2, SMAD4, ID2, and TNF, were mainly enriched in transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway. While, target genes of hsa-miR-184, hsa-miR-34c-5p, hsa-miR-7-2-3p and hsa-miR-20b-3p, including BCL2, EPHB2, VEGFA, COL4A1, APC, and TGFBR1, were enriched in eye development. Moreover, FNDC3B, CAV2 and VEGF, target genes of hsa-miR-206 or hsa-miR-34c-5p, were the OAG-related genes. Ultimately, RT-qPCR analysis confirmed that mRNA levels of hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-7-2-3p, and hsa-miR-20b-3p were increased, while those of hsa-miR-184 and hsa-miR-34c-5p were decreased in POAG compared with normal groups (P < 0.05). Hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-184, hsa-miR-34c-5p, hsa-miR-7-2-3p and hsa-miR-20b-3p might play a significant role in the pathogenesis of POAG and hsa-miR-206 might be associated with the development of POAG by regulating TGF-β signaling pathway. These results might provide insight toward a better understanding of the pathogenesis of POAG.

Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression through
interactions with target sites within mRNAs, leading to
enhanced degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of translation.
Skeletal muscle expresses many different miRNAs with important
roles in adulthood myogenesis (regeneration) and myofibre
hypertrophy and atrophy, processes associated with muscle
ageing. However, the large number of miRNAs and their targets
mean that a complex network of pathways exists, making it
difficult to predict the effect of selected miRNAs on
age-related muscle wasting. Computational modelling has the
potential to aid this process as it is possible to combine
models of individual miRNA:target interactions to form an
integrated network. As yet, no models of these interactions in
muscle exist. We created the first model of miRNA:target
interactions in myogenesis based on experimental evidence of
individual miRNAs which were next validated and used to make
testable predictions. Our model confirms that miRNAs regulate
key interactions during myogenesis and can act by promoting the
switch between quiescent/proliferating/differentiating
myoblasts and by maintaining the differentiation process. We
propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial
switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on
and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143
inhibiting myogenesis.
