Identification of potential miRNA–mRNA regulatory network contributing to cytarabine resistance HL60 cells [miRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cytarabine is the main drug for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment; however, drug resistance hinders the treatment of AML. Although microRNA (miRNA) alteration is one of the well-recognized mechanisms underlying drug resistance in AML, few studies have investigated the role and function of miRNAs in the development of cytarabine resistance. In this study, total RNA was isolated from parental HL60 and cytarabine resistant HL60 (R-HL60) cells. Subsequently, miRNAs and mRNAs were detected using small RNA sequencing and gene expression array, respectively. The miRNAs and genes with ≥ 2-fold difference in expression between HL60 and R-HL60 cells were screened out. Negatively correlated miRNA–mRNA pairs were selected as candidate miRNA–mRNA target pairs by using the miRDB, Targetscan or miRTar databases. Functional enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) included in the candidate miRNA–mRNA network was performed. The results revealed that CCL2, SOX9, SLC8A1, ICAM1, CXCL10, SIPR2, FGFR1, OVOL2, MITF, and CARD10 were simultaneously involved in seven GO pathways, namely the regulation of cell migration, regulation of locomotion, regulation of cellular component movement, cell migration, locomotion, cell motility, localization of cell. These genes were negatively correlated with the altered miRNAs (miR-1-3p, miR-155-5p, miR-1255b-5p, miR-200c-5p, miR-3609, miR-1285-3p, miR-124-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-497a-5p, and miR-3150a-5p), suggesting that they are the potential targets of the miRNAs to regulate cell migration behavior or ability. Therefore, our results advance our understanding of the regulatory mechanism underlying cytarabine resistance development, specifically related to miRNAs.

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.
