Project description:We identified pathologically relevant miRs that exhibited abnormal VU expression and displayed their targets enriched explicitly in the VU gene signature. The biological function of these miRNAs in human epidermal keratinocytes or fibroblasts during wound repair remains unclear. To study the genes regulated by miR-96-5p, miR-218-5p, miR-424-5p, miR-450b-5p, miR-516b-5p or miR-7704, we transfected miRNA mimics into human primary epidermal keratinocytes or fibroblasts to overexpress respective miRNA expression. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of keratinocytes or fibroblasts upon miRNA overexpression using Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:Lifestyle disorders like obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular diseases can be prevented and treated by regular physical activity. During exercise, skeletal muscles release signaling factors that communicate with other organs and mediate beneficial effects of exercise. These factors include myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). In the present study, we have examined how electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of myotubes, a model of exercise, affects the cargo of released EVs. Chronic low frequency EPS was applied for 24 h to human myotubes isolated and differentiated from biopsy samples from 6 morbidly obese females with T2D, and EVs, both exosomes and microvesicles (MV), were isolated from cell media 24 h thereafter. Size and concentration of EV subtypes were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, surface markers were examined by flow cytometry and Western blotting, and morphology was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Protein content was assessed by high-resolution proteomic analysis (LC-MS/MS), non-coding RNA was quantified by Affymetrix microarray, and selected microRNAs (miRs) validated by real time RT-qPCR. The size and concentration of exosomes and MV were unaffected by EPS. Of the 400 miRs identified in the EVs, EPS significantly changed the level of 15 exosome miRs, of which miR-1233-5p showed the highest fold change. The miR pattern of MV was unaffected by EPS. Totally, about 1000 proteins were identified in exosomes and 2000 in MV. EPS changed the content of 73 proteins in exosomes, 97 in MVs, and of these 4 were changed in both exosomes and MV (GANAB, HSPA9, CNDP2, and ATP5B). By matching the EPS-changed miRs and proteins in exosomes, 31 targets were identified, and among these several promising signaling factors. Of particular interest were CNDP2, an enzyme that generates the appetite regulatory metabolite Lac-Phe, and miR-4433b-3p, which targets CNDP2. Several of the regulated miRs, such as miR-92b-5p, miR-320b, and miR-1233-5p might also mediate interesting signaling functions.

Project description:ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE. Smoking suppresses PD-1 expression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we assess if smoking changed the epigenetic control over CD8+ T cell memory formation through a microRNA (miR) dependent mechanism. METHODS. Phenotypes of CD8+ T cells from smokers and non-smokers, RA and healthy, were analyzed by flow cytometry. A microarray analysis was used to screen for differences in miR expression. Sorted CD8+ cells were in vitro stimulated with nicotine and analyzed for transcription of miRs and genes related to memory programming by qPCR. RESULTS. CD27+CD107a–CD8+ T cells, defining a naïve-memory population, had low expression of PD-1. Additionally, the CD27+ population was more frequent in smokers (p=0.0089). Smokers were recognized by differential expression of 8 miRs. Let-7c-5p, let-7d-5p and let-7e-5p, miR-92a-3p, miR-150-5p and miR-181-5p were up regulated, while miR-3196 and miR-4723-5p were down regulated. These miRs were predicted to target proteins within the FOXO-signaling pathway involved in CD8+ memory programming. Furthermore, miR-92a-3p was differentially expressed in CD8+ cells with naïve-memory predominance. Nicotine exposure of CD8+ cells induced the expression of miR-150-5p and miR-181a-5p in the naïve-memory cells in vitro. Additionally, nicotine exposure inverted the ratio between mRNAs of proteins in the FOXO pathway and their targeting miRs. CONCLUSIONS. Smokers have a high prevalence of CD8+ T cells with a naïve-memory phenotype. These cells express a miR profile that interacts with the memory programming conducted through the FOXO pathway.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs) have been recognized as promising biomarkers. It is unknown to what extent tumor-derived miRs are
differentially expressed between primary colorectal cancers (pCRCs) and metastatic lesions, and to what extent the expression
profiles of tumor tissue differ from the surrounding normal tissue. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 220 fresh-frozen samples,
including paired primary and metastatic tumor tissue and non-tumorous tissue from 38 patients, revealed expression of 2245
known unique mature miRs and 515 novel candidate miRs. Unsupervised clustering of miR expression profiles of pCRC tissue with
paired metastases did not separate the two entities, whereas unsupervised clustering of miR expression profiles of pCRC with
normal colorectal mucosa demonstrated complete separation of the tumor samples from their paired normal mucosa. Two
hundred and twenty-two miRs differentiated both pCRC and metastases from normal tissue samples (false discovery rate (FDR)
o0.05). The highest expressed tumor-specific miRs were miR-21 and miR-92a, both previously described to be involved in CRC with
potential as circulating biomarker for early detection. Only eight miRs, 0.5% of the analysed miR transcriptome, were differentially
expressed between pCRC and the corresponding metastases (FDR o0.1), consisting of five known miRs (miR-320b, miR-320d,
miR-3117, miR-1246 and miR-663b) and three novel candidate miRs (chr 1-2552-5p, chr 8-20656-5p and chr 10-25333-3p). These
results indicate that previously unrecognized candidate miRs expressed in advanced CRC were identified using NGS. In addition,
miR expression profiles of pCRC and metastatic lesions are highly comparable and may be of similar predictive value for prognosis
or response to treatment in patients with advanced CRC

Project description:miR-28-5p is downregulated in some tumor tissues in which it has been demonstrated to have a tumor suppressor (TS) activity. Here, we demonstrate that miR-28-5p acts as a TS in prostate cancer (PCa) cells affecting cell proliferation/survival as well as migration and invasion. Using the miRNA pull out assay and next generation sequencing we collected the complete repertoire of miR-28-5p targets obtaining a data set (miR-28-5p targetome) of 191 mRNAs. Filtering the targetome with TargetScan 7, PITA and RNA22 we found that the 61% of the transcripts had miR-28-5p binding sites. To assign a functional value to the captured transcripts, we grouped the miR-28-5p targets into gene families with annotated function and showed that six transcripts belong to the transcription factor category. Among them we selected SREBF2, a gene with increasing importance in PCa. We validated miR-28-5p/SREBF2 interaction demonstrating that SREBF2 inhibition affects almost all the tumor processes affected by the miR-28-5p re-expression, suggesting that SREBF2 is an important mediator of miR-28-5p TS activity. Our findings support the identification of the targetome of cancer-related miRNAs as a tool to discover genes and pathways fundamental for tumor development and potential new targets for anti-tumor therapy.

Project description:Lung cancer is an intrinsically highly metastatic disease and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although discovery of molecular aberrations in lung adenocarcinomas has led to development of effective targeted therapies, corresponding “drivers” in lung squamous carcinomas (LUSC) have not materialized. Extensive molecular profiling has revealed LUSC tumors have non-recurrent somatic mutations and are largely driven by copy number alterations. Because microRNAs (miRs) play increasingly important roles in regulating metastasis-relevant pathways, we evaluated whether miRs can regulate LUSC progression. By integrating bioinformatics of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) with novel, highly metastatic LUSC models, we found that miR-671-5p is a key inhibitor of LUSC metastasis. Surprisingly, miR-671-5p regulates LUSC metastasis by inhibiting a circular RNA (circRNA), CDR1as. Although the putative function of CDR1as is through miR-7 sponging, we found miR-671-5p more potently silences an axis of CDR1as and its anti-sense transcript, cerebellar degeneration related antigen 1 (CDR1). To our knowledge, no function of CDR1 has ever been described. We found loss of CDR1as and CDR1 significantly inhibited LUSC metastases. Intriguingly, CDR1 was strongly associated with an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program in LUSC tumors, and was sufficient to promote metastases, increased migration and substrate-independent survival, known as anoikis-resistance. CDR1, which directly interacts with AP1 and COPI subunits, no longer promoted migration and anoikis-resistance upon blockade of Golgi trafficking. Our findings reveal a miR/circRNA axis that regulates LUSC metastases through an enigmatic protein, CDR1.

Project description:Inflammatory b-cell failure contributes to type 1 and type 2 diabetes pathogenesis. Proinflammatory cytokines cause b-cell dysfunction and apoptosis, and lysine deacetylase inhibitors (KDACi) prevent b-cell failure in vitro and in vivo, in part by reducing NFkB transcriptional activity. Here we investigated the hypothesis that the protective effect of KDACi involves transcriptional regulation of microRNAs (miRs), potential new targets in diabetes treatment. Insulin-producing INS1 cells were cultured with or without the broad-spectrum KDACi Givinostat prior to exposure to the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1-b and IFN-g for 6h or 24h, and miR expression was profiled with miR array. A shortlist of ten miRs (miR-7a-2-3p, miR-29c-3p, miR-96-5p, miR-101a-3p, miR-140-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-146b-5p, miR-340-5p, miR-384-5p, and miR-455-5p) regulated by both cytokines and Givinostat was verified by qRT-PCR. MiR-146a-5p was strongly regulated by cytokines and KDACi and analyzed further. MiR-146a-5p expression was induced by cytokines in rat and human islets. Cytokine-induced miR-146a-5p expression was specific for INS1 and β-TC3 cells, whereas α-TC1 cells exhibited a higher basal expression. Transfection of INS1 cells with miR-146a-5p reduced the activity of NFκB and iNOS promoters, decreased NO production, and decreased protein levels of iNOS and its own direct target TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6). MiR-146a-5p was elevated in diabetes-prone BB-DP rat pancreas at diabetes onset, suggesting that miR-146a-5p could play a role in type 1 diabetes development. The miR array of cytokine-exposed INS1 cells rescued by KDACi revealed several other miRs potentially involved in cytokine-induced b-cell apoptosis, demonstrating the strength of this approach.

Project description:Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a heterogeneous group of progressive and genetic neuromuscular disorders that involve weakness and wasting of predominantly pelvic and shoulder girdle muscles. More than 30 subtypes have been identified, with variable phenotype. In the early stages of the disease, these LGMD share common clinical and histopathological characteristics among different subtypes and with other neuromuscular disorders, complicating the disease-subtype identification and thus, lengthening the final diagnosis of the disease. In the present study, we try to identify by a non-invasive method a molecular signature including biochemical and epigenetic parameters with a potential value for LGMD patient prognosis and stratification. Circulating miRNome was obtained by smallRNA-seq in plasma samples from LGMD patients (n=6) and matched controls (n=6). Over-representation analysis (ORA) using GO terms and KEGG database was used to study the functional enrichment of target genes. Biochemical parameters related to calcium metabolism, hormonal status, and muscle metabolism were also analyzed in these patients. Thirteen differentially expressed miRs (FDR < 0.05) were able to separate each clinical group by hierarchical clustering. Indeed, most of differentially expressed miRs were up-regulated. Functional enrichment analysis of the target genes for the dysregulated miRs revealed that targets of up-regulated miRs modulated cell cycle and cancer related pathways, while targets of down-regulated miRs were involved in muscle tissue development, regeneration and senescence. Four of the circulating miRs (miR-19b-3p, miR-192-5p, miR-122-5p and miR 323-3p) were further validated by qPCR in LGMD and in the more frequent muscular dystrophies: Duchenne (DMD)(n=5) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD)(n=4). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed high AUC values for selected miRs (1.0 for miR-19b-3p, miR-192-5p and miR-122-5p; 0.75 for miR-323-3p) suggesting that these miRs could be good biomarker candidates for LGMD. The covariates gender, age at disease onset, and ambulation did not correlate with the expression levels of these miRs. However, differential expression of miR-122-5p (≥10-60 fold, p< 0.0001), miR-192-5p (≥10-60 fold, p< 0.0001) and miR-323-3p (≤ 2-10 fold, p<0.05) levels compared to matched controls could discriminate LGMD from DMD or FSHD dystrophies. In addition, a strong correlation between some of these circulating miRs and biochemical variables such as CK, vitamin D3, ALP and PTH was found only in LGMD patients.
