MiR-127-3p is an epigenetic activator of myofibroblast senescence situated within the miRNA enriched Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted domain on mouse chromosome 12 [miRNA array]

ABSTRACT: During wound healing, fibroblasts differentiate into non-proliferative contractile myofibroblasts, contribute to skin repair, and eventually undergo apoptosis or become senescent. MicroRNAs (miR) are posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression networks that control cell fate and survival and may also regulate senescence. Here we determined regulated miRs in myofibroblasts isolated from wounds and analyzed their role in senescent myofibroblast formation. Transcriptome profiling showed that a 200 kbp region of the Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted domain on mouse chromosome 12 encodes for most of the upregulated miRs in the entire genome of mouse myofibroblasts. Among those, miR-127-3p induced a myofibroblast-like phenotype associated with a block in proliferation. Molecular analysis revealed that miR-127-3p induced a prolonged cell-cycle arrest with unique molecular features of senescence, including the activation of the senescence-associated ß-galactosidase, increase in p21 levels, inhibition of lamin B1, proliferation factors, and the production of senescence-associated inflammatory and extracellular matrix -remodeling components. Hence, miR-127-3p emerges as an epigenetic activator regulating the transition from repair to remodeling during skin wound healing, but may also induce age-related defects, pathological scarring and fibrosis, all linked to myofibroblast senescence.

Integrative small and long RNA-omics analysis of human healing and non-healing wounds discovers cooperating microRNAs as therapeutic targets

Project description:Due to microRNAs' (miRs) important functions and high potential for disease diagnosis and therapy, increasing efforts have been put to understand their role in wound repair and identify targetable miRs for wound treatment. However, lack of knowledge about miR-mediated gene expression in human wound tissues hinders the recognition of clinically relevant miRs. Here we profiled genome-wide miR and mRNA expression by RNA-sequencing in the same set of samples from human normal acute wounds and chronic non-healing venous ulcers (VU). By integrative analysis of miR and mRNA omics, we unraveled miR-mediated gene regulatory networks specifically associated with different phases of wound repair or VU. We also identified transcriptional factors and miR arm switching events underpinning the dynamically changed miR expression. In this study, we focused on not only a few top changed miRs, but also the miRs with their targetome enriched in the VU gene signature, such as miR-34a-5p, miR-34c-5p, miR-218-5p, miR-7704, miR-424-5p, miR-450-5p, miR-517b-3p, miR-96-5p, and miR-516b-5p. We confirmed these miRs' targetome in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts using microarrays and demonstrated their functional relevance to VU pathology.

MBNL1-mediated Regulation of Differentiation RNAs Promotes Myofibroblast Transformation and the Fibrotic Response

Project description:The differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts mediates tissue wound healing and fibrotic remodeling. To better understand this process we performed a genome-wide screen in fibroblasts, which identified the RNA-binding protein muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) as a potent regulator of myofibroblast differentiation. MBNL1 promoted transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, while loss of Mbnl1 abrogated myofibroblast differentiation and impaired the fibrotic phase of wound healing in mouse models of myocardial infarction and dermal injury. Conditional fibroblast-specific MBNL1 transgenic mice showed a fibrotic phenotype in the absence of injury. Mechanistically, MBNL1 directly bound to and regulated the alternative splicing and stability of a network of myofibroblast differentiation specific genes, such as the nodal transcriptional regulator serum response factor (SRF). CRISPR-Cas9 mediated gene editing of the MBNL1 binding site in Srf impaired myofibroblast differentiation. These data establish a new RNA-dependent paradigm through MBNL1 that underlies global myofibroblast differentiation, the fibrotic response, and tissue wound healing.

Exclusive expression of KANK4 promotes myofibroblast mobility in keloid tissues

Project description:Keloids are characterized by abnormal wound healing with excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix. Myofibroblasts are the primary contributor to extracellular matrix secretion, playing an essential role in the wound healing process. However, the differences between myofibroblasts involved in keloid formation and normal wound healing remain unclear. To identify the specific characteristics of keloid myofibroblasts, we initially assessed the expression levels of well-established myofibroblast markers, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and transgelin (TAGLN), in scar and keloid tissues (n = 63 and 51, respectively). The objective was to evaluate the enrichment of myofibroblasts in these tissues. Although myofibroblasts were present in significant quantities in keloids and immature scars, they were absent in mature scars. Next, we conducted RNA sequencing using myofibroblast-rich areas from keloids and immature scars to investigate the difference in RNA expression profiles among myofibroblasts. Comparison of the results with publicly available RNA-sequencing datasets revealed that 112 genes were significantly upregulated and 108 genes were downregulated in keloid samples compared with immature scar samples. Among them, KN motif and ankyrin repeat domains 4 (KANK4) was identified as a specifically upregulated gene in keloids. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that KANK4 protein was expressed in myofibroblasts in keloid tissues; however, it was not expressed in any myofibroblasts in immature scar tissues. There are two main isoforms of KANK4 transcripts, with short isoforms being dominantly expressed in keloid tissue. Overexpression of the short isoform of KANK4 enhanced cell mobility in keloid myofibroblasts. Our results suggest that the KANK4-mediated increase in myofibroblast mobility contributes to keloid pathogenesis.

ANKRD1 promotes cell migration by suppressing ELN production during early senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence is a complex biological process that contributes to wound healing, carcinogenesis, and age-related disease. Although the molecular mechanisms whereby senescence promotes wound repair are not well understood, the protein ANKRD1, which promoted wound healing in mice, was found to increase in senescent cells. We hypothesized that ANKRD1 may play a role in senescence-mediated wound healing. Conditioned medium (CM) from senescent WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts hastened cell migration of human HaCaT keratinocytes. Interestingly, silencing ANKRD1 in WI-38 cells reduced the effect of CM on cell migration, while overexpressing ANKRD1 accelerated it. Further proteomic analysis revealed that ANKRD1 associates with YBOX1, a multifunctional protein that modulates transcription of the ELN gene and reduces ELN mRNA production. The product of the ELN gene, the protein ELN or tropoelastin (a subunit of elastin), is a secreted factor that reduces motility. Thus, we propose that a rise in ANKRD1 during early senescence transiently limits the YBOX1-dependent transcriptional increase in ELN production, and thereby enables cell motility in early phases of senescence.

Effects of silencing miR-142-3p on the pathological and physiological functions of cardiac fibroblasts

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs), a group of small and non-coding RNAs, negatively regulate gene expression via promoting messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation or blocking mRNA translation. Many miRs have been recognized as biomarkers or possible targets for the diagnosis or therapy of some diseases. Among them, miR-142-3p was involved in the occurrences and progression of various cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies found that miR-142-3p upregulation could ameliorate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced transdifferentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts and collagen deposition. miR-142-3p-mediacted autophagy was reported as a novel mechanism towards I/R-induced cardiac injure. Besides, miR-142-3p could mitigate myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, it is worth studying whether silencing miR-142-3p may affect the pathological and physiological functions of cardiac fibroblasts.

The role of NOX4 in skin fibroblasts

Project description:Differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is governed by the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) through a mechanism involving redox signaling and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Myofibroblasts synthesize proteins of the extracellular matrix and display a contractile phenotype. Myofibroblasts are predominant contributors of wound healing and several pathological states, including fibrotic diseases and cancer. Inhibition of the ROS-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) has been proposed to mitigate fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation and to offer a therapeutic option for the treatment of fibrotic diseases. In this study, we addressed the role of NOX4 in physiological wound healing and in TGF-β-induced myofibroblast differentiation. We explored the phenotypic changes induced by TGF-β in primary skin fibroblasts isolated from Nox4-deficient mice by immunofluorescence, Western blotting and RNA sequencing. Mice deficient for Cyba, the gene coding for p22phox, a key subunit of NOX4 were used for confirmatory experiments as well as human primary skin fibroblasts. In vivo, the wound healing was similar in wild-type and Nox4-deficient mice. In vitro, despite a strong upregulation following TGF-β treatment, Nox4 did not influence skin myofibroblast differentiation. Nevertheless, up-regulation of the mitochondrial protein Ucp2 and the stress-response protein Hddc3, as well as down-regulation of Islr were observed in Nox4-deficient fibroblasts. Altogether, we provide extensive evidence challenging a profibrotic role of NOX4 in skin fibroblasts and show that Nox4 regulates Ucp2 and Hddc3 expression, suggesting the presence of a so far undescribed redox crosstalk between NOX4 and redox homeostasis in fibroblasts.
