Extracellular vesicle protein and miRNA signatures as biomarkers for post-infectious ME/CFS patients

ABSTRACT: Post-infectious Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic disease with a yet unresolved pathophysiology and sparse diagnostic options. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as carriers of disease-specific protein and microRNA (miRNA) signatures. We aim to identify novel miRNA markers as potential biomarker in isolated plasma EVs from female post-COVID-19 ME/CFS patients in comparison to healthy controls (HCs). EVs were isolated from plasma of post-infectious ME/CFS patients and HCs by size exclusion chromatography, and characterized for their number, size, morphology and surface marker expression. Small RNA sequencing identifed four small RNAs, which are significantly differential expressed between ME/CFS patients and healthy donors. Subsequently performed qPCR studies revealed significant downregulation exclusively for the hsa-let-7b-5p miRNA in EVs from ME/CFS patients versus HCs. Notably, reduced hsa-let-7b-5p expression correlated with impaired physical functioning as well as increased fatigue, pain, and immune activation scores. Our data indicate, that hsa-let-7b-5p could serve as a promising candidate for development as diagnostic and stratification marker of ME/CFS.

The identification of miRNA biomarkers in CFS/ME peripheral blood samples

Project description:Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) is a complex multisystem disease, with a pathogenesis that is undetermined. A large cohort of genes demonstrating altered expression in CFS/ME implicates the role of translational regulatory molecules, microRNA (miRNA), in the pathogenesis of this disease. We aimed to define the changes in microRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples in CFS/ME patients. miRNA expression was analysed in PBMC samples taken from CFS/ME patients and healthy controls, using the Ambion Bioarray V1. miRNA demonstrating differential expression were validated by qRT-PCR and analysed in an independent patient cohort in fractionated blood cell populations. The targets of miRNA hsa-miR-99b and hsa-miR-330-3p were then identified by gene expression analysis after transfection into primary NK cells.Microarray analysis identified differential expression of 34 miRNA, all of which were up-regulated. Four of the 34 miRNA had confirmed expression changes by qRT-PCR. Fractionating PBMC samples by cell type from an independent patient cohort identified changes in miRNA expression in NK-cells, B-cells and monocytes with the most significant abnormalities occurring in NK cells. Transfecting primary NK cells with hsa-miR-99b and hsa-miR-330-3p, respectively, resulted in gene expression changes consistent with NK cell activation and diminished cytotoxicity.This study demonstrates altered microRNA expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of CFS/ME patients, which are potential diagnostic biomarkers. The greatest degree of miRNA deregulation was identified in NK cells with targets consistent with cellular activation and altered effector function.

Let-7b-5p loaded Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Extracellular Vesicles reduce Pseudomonas-biofilm formation and inflammation in CF Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Project description:Chronic Pseudomas aeruginosa infection in the lung is a common in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Current therapies for CF fail to eliminate persistent bacterial infections, chronic inflammation, or irreversible lung damage. Our group engineered mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) to carry the microRNA let-7b-5p as a dual anti-infective and anti-inflammatory treatment. In a preclinical CF mice model, we found that let-7b-5p-loaded MSC EVs reduced P. aeruginosa burden, immune cells and proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs. This research hypothesized two mechanisms of the observed effects in the mouse model: anti-inflammatory properties of the let-7b-5p-loaded MSC EVs and inhibition of antibiotic-resistant P. aeruginosa biofilm formation in CF airways. Primary human broncial epithelial cells (pHBECs) were exposed to P. aeruginosa and treated with differet MSC EV conditions. The results demonstrated that MSC EVs engineered to contain let-7b-5p effectively blocked the formation of P. aeruginosa biofilms on pHBECs while also reducing P. aeruginosa-induced inflammation by CF-pHBECs.

Integrative analysis of mRNA-miRNA expression profiles and somatic variants in oxysterol signaling in early-stage luminal breast cancer

Project description:Oxysterols, oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, act in breast cancer (BC) as selective estrogen receptor modulators and affect cholesterol homeostasis, drug transport, nuclear and cell receptors, and other signaling proteins. Using overlapping data from patients with early-stage estrogen receptor-positive BC—high-coverage targeted DNA sequencing (99 patients, 113 genes), mRNA sequencing (67 patients), and full miRNome by microarrays (123 patients)—we describe complex mRNA-miRNA and miRNA-miRNA interaction (correlation) networks, with validation in two carefully curated public datasets (n=538 in total) and 11 databases. The ESR1-CH25H-INSIG1-ABCA9 axis was the most prominent, being interconnected through hsa-miR-125b-5p, but also hsa-miR-99a-5p, hsa-miR-100-5p, hsa miR 143 3p, hsa-199b-5p, hsa-miR-376a-3p, and hsa-miR-376c-3p. Mutations in SC5D, CYP46A1, and its functionally linked gene set were associated with multiple differentially expressed genes. STARD5 was upregulated in patients with positive lymph node status. High expression of miR-19b-3p was weakly associated with poor survival in multiple datasets. This is the first detailed dedicated study of interactions between DNA variation and mRNA expression of oxysterol-related genes, the miRNA transcriptome, and clinical factors in BC.

A blood miRNA signature associates with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease diagnosis

Project description:Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) presents as a rapidly progressive dementia which is usually fatal within six months. No clinical blood tests are currently available for diagnosis or disease monitoring. Here, we profiled blood microRNA (miRNA) expression in sCJD. Small RNA-sequencing of 57 sCJD patients and 48 healthy controls revealed differential expression of hsa-let-7i-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-93-5p and hsa-miR-106b-3p. Downregulation of hsa-let-7i-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p and hsa-miR-93-5p replicated in an independent cohort using quantitative PCR, with concomitant upregulation of four of their mRNA targets. Absence of correlation in cross-sectional analysis with clinical phenotypes paralleled the lack of association between rate of decline in miRNA expression and rate of disease progression in a longitudinal cohort of 50 samples from 21 sCJD patients. Finally, the miRNA signature showed a high level of accuracy in discriminating sCJD from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). These findings highlight novel molecular alterations in the periphery in sCJD which can provide information about differential diagnosis and improve mechanistic understanding of human prion diseases.

Expression Profile of Serum-related Exosomal miRNAs from Parathyroid Tumor

Project description:Objective: The expression pattern of exosomal miRNAs derived from parathyroid tumor is still unknown. In the present work, we aimed to examine the differences on microRNA (miRNA) expression, present in serum exosomes, by comparing parathyroid carcinoma (PC) and parathyroid adenoma (PA). Methods: MiRNA expression profile of serum exosomes, derived from 4 PC patients and 4 PA patients, were analyzed by next-generation sequencing technology. The differential expressions of target miRNAs were further verified in both serum exosomes and tissues of PC/PA patients by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Lastly, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to investigate the efficiency of target exosomal miRNAs in distinguishing PC patients from PA controls. Results: Multiple differentially expressed miRNAs of serum exosomes were screened out by sequencing. Based on this screening, hsa-miR-146b-5p (p=0.0846), hsa-miR-27a-5p (p=0.0412), hsa-miR-93-5p (p=0.73), hsa-miR-381-3p (p=0.1239) and hsa-miR-134-5p (p=0.0694) were up-regulated in the serum exosomes of PC patients. These results were validated by qPCR, where the trend on differential miRNA expression was consistent with the sequencing results. Specifically, the expression of exosomal hsa-miR-27a-5p was able to clearly distinguish PC patients from PA controls, and related analysis indicated that the area under the ROC curve was 0.8594 (p=0.0157). Conclusion: Here we present, for the first time, the miRNA expression profile of serum exosomes derived from PC patients. Based on this result, we presently suggest that the exosomal hsa-miR-27a-5p may serve as a putative tumor marker for preoperative identification of PC and PA subjects.

Hypercholesterolemia impairs the expression of angiogenic microRNAs in extracellular vesicles within ischemic skeletal muscles

Project description:Background/Objectives: In severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) with limb ischemia, hypercholesterolemia (HC) is associated with impaired neovascularization. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present within ischemic muscles, and they contain microRNAs (miRs) involved in several biological functions, including angiogenesis and neovascularization. Methods: We used a mouse model of PAD and compared the response to hindlimb ischemia in hypercholesterolemic ApoE−/− vs. normocholesterolemic mice. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was used to perform a complete profiling of miR expression in ischemic skeletal muscles, and in EVs of varying sizes — large EVs (lEVs) and small EVs (sEVs) — within these muscles. Results: We identified several miRs with potential pro-angiogenic effects (angiomiRs) that are reduced by HC in lEVs (Let-7b-5p, miR-151-3p, Let-7c-5p) or sEVs (miR-21a-5p, miR-196b-5p, miR-340-5p). As proof of principle, we show that overexpression of Let-7b-5p in lEVs, or miR-21a-5p in sEVs, can significantly increase the angiogenic capacity of these EVs in vitro. HC also impaired the enrichment of specific angiomiRs in lEVs (miR-100-5p), sEVs (miR-142a-3p), or in both lEVs and sEVs (miR-146b-5p). In silico approaches including prediction of functional miR targets, pathway unions and gene unions, identified predictive resulting effects of HC-modulated miRs in EVs on processes having key roles in the modulation of angiogenesis and neovascularization, such as the regulation of actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesion, and HIF-1, MAPK, AMPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. Conclusions: Our results constitute an important first step towards the identification of miRs that could be targeted to improve the angiogenic function of EVs in atherosclerotic conditions and reduce tissue damage in patients with severe PAD.
