Circulating cardiac microRNA-FOXO3 axis safeguards against dilated cardiomyopathy

ABSTRACT: Background - Cardiac microRNAs (miRNAs) could be released into circulation thus becoming circulating cardiac miRNAs, which are increasingly recognized as noninvasive and readily accessible biomarker for multiple heart diseases. A global loss of cardiac miRNAs due to dicer or dgcr8 depletion has been reported to lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, DCM-associated circulating miRNAs (DACMs) and their roles in regulating DCM progression remain largely unexplored. Methods and Results - Through miRNA sequencing of human plasma procured from DCM patients and healthy control people, DCM was characterized with a unique expression pattern for circulating miRNAs. Among them, miR-26a-5p, miR-30c-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-126-3p were all identified with dramatic reductions in DCM mouse myocardium as in the plasma of DCM patients. FOXO3, highlighted as a predicted common target gene, was experimentally demonstrated to be repressed within cardiomyocytes by these miRNAs except miR-26a-5p. Mechanistically, miRNA combination (miR-30c-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-126-3p) significantly attenuated FOXO3-induced apoptosis and autophagy observed in cardiomyocytes as well as in DCM murine heart. Cardiac-specific knockout of FOXO3 conspicuously mitigated myocardial apoptosis and autophagy in DCM development. Moreover, stymieing the interaction between these miRNAs and FOXO3 mRNA extremely crippled the cardioprotection of these miRNAs against DCM progression. Cardiac miRNA-FOXO3 axis plays a pivotal role in safeguarding against myocardial apoptosis and autophagy, thereby maintaining cardiac homeostasis and potently preventing DCM development. These findings may provide serological clues for the noninvasive diagnosis of DCM in the future, and unambiguously shed new light on DCM pathogenesis and associated therapeutic targets

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.
