Effect of mir-210-3p on The Function of c-kit+ Cardiac Progenitor Cells under Ischemia and Hypoxia

ABSTRACT: C-kit+ cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) play an important role in improving the prognosis of ischemic heart disease. MicroRNAs have been shown to have a protective role in the cardiac repair process, but their specific functional mechanisms are still unclear. The aim of this study was to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in c-kit+ CPCs under hypoxia and explore their effects on the function of c-kit+ CPCs. We found that miR-210-3p was significantly upregulated in hypoxia-treated c-kit+ CPCs through second-generation sequencing. Protein chip detection revealed that c-kit+ CPCs could express cytokines such as FGF basic, Angiogenin, and VEGF, and that hypoxia could enhance the secretion of some angiogenesis-related factors. Silencing miR-210-3p, on the other hand, resulted in a reduction in the secretion of these angiogenesis-related factors. In addition, we found that the conditioned medium of hypoxia-treated c-kit+ CPCs could promote the proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability of mouse cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs). Conversely, the conditioned medium of c-kit+ CPCs with silenced miR-210-3p after hypoxia inhibited the proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability of CMECs. These results suggest that c-kit+ CPCs may exert their pro-angiogenic effects through paracrine mechanisms, which are regulated by miR-210-3p. The upregulation of miR-210-3p in hypoxia-treated c-kit+ CPCs may enhance their paracrine function by regulating the secretion of angiogenic factors, thereby promoting angiogenesis in ischemic heart disease. Therefore, miR-210-3p plays a key role in regulating the paracrine function of c-kit+ CPCs and can affect the process of angiogenesis. The role of miR-210-3p has potential application value for the treatment of ischemic heart disease, and may become one of the important targets for future treatment of ischemic heart disease.

Project description:The resistance of hypoxic cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy is a major problem in the treatment of cancer. Recently, an additional level of Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) dependent transcriptional regulation has emerged involving modulation of a specific set of miRNAs including miR-210. We have recently shown that HIF-1 induction of miR-210 also stabilizes HIF-1 through a positive regulatory loop. We therefore hypothesized that by stabilizing HIF-1 in normoxia, miR-210 may protect cancer cells from radiation. We developed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)-derived cell lines (A549 and H1975) stably expressing miR-210 (pmiR-210) or a control miRNA (pmiR-Ctl). MiR-210 expressing cells showed a significant stabilization of HIF-1 associated with mitochondrial defects and a glycolytic phenotype. The cells were subjected to radiation levels ranging from 0 to 10Gy in normoxia and hypoxia. Cells expressing miR-210 in normoxia had the same level of resistance than control cells in hypoxia. pmiR-210 cells under hypoxia showed a low mortality rate due to a decrease in apoptosis and an ability to grow even at 10Gy. We have established that radioresistance was independent of p53 and cell cycle status. In addition, we show here that genomic double strand breaks (DSB) foci disappeared faster in pmiR-210 than in pmiR-Ctl cells, suggesting that miR-210 expression promotes a more efficient DSB repair. Finally, HIF-1 invalidation in pmiR-210 cells (pmiR-210/HIF-1-) abolished radioresistance of cells showing that this mechanism was dependent upon HIF-1. In conclusion, miR-210 appears to be a major component in the radioresistance of hypoxic cancer cells. Given the high stability of most miRNAs, this advantage could even be used by tumor cells in conditions where hypoxia may not be present anymore and strongly suggests that strategies targeting miR-210 would enhance tumor radiosensitization. To identify the set of transcripts targeted by miR-210, we overexpressed has-miR-210 or a control miRNA (ce-miR-67) in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells by transduction using lentivirus. The resulting pmiR-67 and pmiR-210 that stably overexpress miR-210 were selected by puromycin. RNA samples were harvested at 2 different times following cell plating (24 hours or 48 hours). Experiments were performed in dye-swap.

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.
