Potential role of miRNA in acute hypoxic response of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

ABSTRACT: Intensive aquaculture and environmental changes will inevitably lead to hypoxic stress for largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). To better understand the hypoxia responds mechanisms of largemouth bass, we compared the miRNA profile in liver under different environmental DO to determine which miRNAs are most affected during hypoxia. A total of 266 miRNAs were identified, and 84 miRNAs were differentially expressed compared with in control group. GO and KEGG analysis indicated that the miRNAs may play important roles in environment information processing. Specifically, we considered the VEGF signaling pathway, Phosphatidylinositol signaling system and MAPK signaling pathway, the results show that, the 13 miRNAs (miR-15b-5p, miR-30a-3p, miR-133a-3p, miR-19d-5p, miR-1288-3p, miR456, miR-96-5p, miR-23a-3p, miR-23b, miR-214, miR-24, miR-20a-3p and miR-2188-5p) involved in these three pathways are significantly down-regulated during hypoxia stress. And 12 target genes of these miRNAs were showed a higher degree of expression. We found the obvious negative correlation between miRNA and their target mRNAs, providing several miRNA-mRNA interaction networks in largemouth bass in response to hypoxia. Although relatively little information is currently available concerning the biological function of miRNAs identified to date, we strongly suggest that miRNAs play an important role in modulating gene expression involved in the physiological response to hypoxic stress in the fish liver.

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that hypoxia caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can induce evident cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Exosomes, as paracrine signaling mediators by delivering cytosolic components (including miRNA, mRNA, protein), play crucial roles in intercellular communication. However, the systemic regulation of exosome-mediated miRNA delivery and subsequent regulation effect underlying AMI are not well-understood to date. Here, using small RNA-seq, we investigated the miRNAome of H9C2 cells and corresponding paracrine exosmes after hypoxia stress, and identified total of 92 and 62 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in cells and exosomes from hypoxia vs. normoxia condition. We found that hypoxia strongly induced the expression of hypoxamiRs in H9C2 cells and altered cardiomyocyte-derived exosomal miRNAome. Functional enrichment analysis revealed extensive roles of DE exosomal miRNAs in HIF-1 signaling pathway and cell apoptosis process, such as TNF signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, the gain- and loss-of-function analysis demonstrated the anti-apoptotic effects of hypoxia-induced exosomal miRNAs, i.e. miR-21-5p, miR-378-3p, miR-152-3p, let-7i-5p, and then the luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-152-3p and let-7i-5p implemented their anti-apoptotic function by directly targeting Atg12 and Faslg, respectively. In short, this study revealed that hypoxia-exosomes derived from cardiomyocyte, loaded abundant cardio-protective miRNAs, mediate crosstalk among cardiomyocytes and prevent cardiomyocytes apoptosis after hypoxia. Methods: we established the anoxia model using H9C2 cells, an immortal cardiac muscle cell line, to imitate hypoxia condition caused by AMI in vitro, and then small RNA-seq were employed to investigate the miRNA transcriptome of H9C2 cells and its exosomes collected from hypoxia and normoxia culture medium. Results: we identified the miRNAome of H9C2 cells and its exosmes under both hypoxia and normoxia, including 331, 338, 144, 74 unique mature miRNAs from hypoxia-cells, normoxia-cells, hypoxia-exosomes, normoxia-exosomes, respectively. Total of 92 and 62 DE miRNAs were identified from cells and exosomes. Among of which, the DE exosomal miRNAs were mainly involved in HIF-1 signaling pathway and cell apoptosis process, such as TNF signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway. Interestingly, we found that some DE exosomal miRNAs, including miR-21-5p, miR-378-3p, miR-152-3p, let-7i-5p, have an anti-apoptotic and pro-viability effects in H9C2 cells under hypoxic stress. In addition, Atg12 and Faslg to be respective target of miR-152-3p and let-7i-5p were partly elucidated the anti-apoptosis mechanism of hypoxia-exosomes. Conclusions:In brief, this study illustrated a potential mechanism that, under hypoxic stress, hypoxia pre-perceived cardiomyocytes can spontaneously secrete the hypoxamiRs enriched exosomes, loaded a large amount of cardio-protective miRNA, which mediate crosstalk among cardiomyocytes and prevent apoptosis to heighten the hypoxia adaptability of cardiomyocytes. In more detail, we first discovered that miR-152-3p and let-7i-5p, enriched in hypoxia-exosomes derived by cardiomyocytes, played an anti-apoptosis role via mitochondrial pathway(intrinsic pathway) and death receptor pathway (extrinsic pathway), respectively.

Project description:Background: Newer 3D culturing approaches are a promising way to better mimic the in vivo tumor microenvironment and to study the interactions between the heterogeneous cell populations of glioblastoma multiforme. Like many other tumors, glioblastoma uses extracellular vesicles as an intercellular communication system to prepare surrounding tissue for invasive tumor growth. However, little is known about the effects of 3D culture on extracellular vesicles. The aim of this study was to comprehensively characterise extracellular vesicles in 3D organoid models and compare them to conventional 2D cell culture systems.Methods: Primary glioblastoma cells were cultured as 2D and 3D organoid models. Extracellular vesicles were obtained by precipitation and immunoaffinity, with the latter allowing targeted isolation of the CD9/CD63/CD81 vesicle subpopulation. Comprehensive vesicle characterisation was performed and miRNA expression profiles were generated by smallRNA-sequencing. In silico analysis of differentially regulated miRNAs was performed to identify mRNA targets and corresponding signaling pathways. The tumor cell media and extracellular vesicle proteome were analysed by high-resolution mass spectrometry.Results: We observed an increased concentration of extracellular vesicles in 3D organoid cultures. Differential gene expression analysis further revealed the regulation of twelve miRNAs in 3D tumor organoid cultures (with nine miRNAs down and three miRNAs upregulated). MiR-23a-3p, known to be involved in glioblastoma invasion, was significantly increased in 3D. MiR-7-5p, which counteracts glioblastoma malignancy, was significantly decreased. Moreover, we identified four miRNAs (miR- 323a-3p, miR-382-5p, miR-370-3p, miR-134-5p) located within the DLK1-DIO3 domain, a cancer associated genomic region, suggesting a possible importance of this region in glioblastoma progression. Overrepresentation analysis identified alterations of extracellular vesicle cargo in 3D organoids, including representation of several miRNA targets and proteins primarily implicated in the immune response.Conclusion: Our results show that 3D glioblastoma organoid models secrete extracellular vesicles with an altered cargo compared to corresponding conventional 2D cultures. Extracellular vesicles from 3D cultures were found to contain signaling molecules associated with the immune regulatory signaling pathways and as such could potentially change the surrounding microenvironment towards tumor progression and immunosuppressive conditions. These findings suggest the use of 3D glioblastoma models for further clinical biomarker studies as well as investigation of new therapeutic options.

Project description:We tested the hypothesis that a panel of placental mammal-specific miRNAs and their targets play important to establish receptivity to implantation and their dysregulated expression may be a feature in women with early pregnancy loss. Relative expression levels of miR-340-5p, −542-3p, and −671-5p all increased following treatment of Ishikawa cells with progesterone (10 μg/ml) for 24 hrs (p < 0.05). RNA sequencing of these P4-treated cells identified co-ordinate changes to 6,367 transcripts of which 1713 were predicted targets of miR-340-5p, 670 of miR-542-3p, and 618 of miR-671-5p. Quantitative proteomic analysis of Ishikawa cells transfected with mimic or inhibitor (48 hrs: n=3 biological replicates) for each of the P4-regulated miRNAs was carried out to identify targets of these miRNAs. Excluding off target effects, mir-340-5p mimic altered 1,369 proteins while inhibition changed expression of 376 proteins (p < 0.05) of which, 72 were common to both treatments. A total of 280 proteins were identified between predicted (mirDB) and confirmed (in vitro) targets. In total, 171 proteins predicted to be targets by mirDB were altered in vitro by treatment with miR-340-5p mimic or inhibitor and were also altered by treatment of endometrial epithelial cells with P4. In vitro targets of miR-542-3p identified 1,378 proteins altered by mimic while inhibition altered 975 a core of 200 proteins were changed by both. 100 protein targets were predicted and only 46 proteins were P4 regulated. miR-671-mimic altered 1,252 proteins with inhibition changing 492 proteins of which 97 were common to both, 95 were miDB predicted targets and 46 were also P4-regulated. All miRNAs were detected in endometrial biopsies taken from patients during the luteal phase of their cycle, irrespective of prior or future pregnancy outcomes Expression of mir-340-5p showed an overall increase in patients who had previously suffered a miscarriage and had a subsequent miscarriage, as compared to those who had infertility or previous miscarriage and subsequently went on to have a life birth outcome. The regulation of these miRNAs and their protein targets regulate the function of transport and secretion, and adhesion of the endometrial epithelia required for successful implantation in humans. Dysfunction of these miRNAs (and therefore the targets they regulate) may contribute to endometrial-derived recurrent pregnancy loss in women.
