MicroRNA146a suppresses pancreatitis via cross-talk with NF-kB and ASC-containing inflammasomes

ABSTRACT: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially lethal pancreatic inflammatory disease with no effective therapeutic options. Here, we identify microRNA-146a (miR-146a) as a targetable potent negative regulator of pancreatic inflammatory responses and associated tissue damage. Genetic ablation of miR-146a in mice exacerbated cerulein-induced AP, evidenced by elevated inflammatory cell infiltrates and acinar cell death, the former associated with activated macrophage infiltrates and upregulation of cytokines (e.g. IL-1b) and chemokines (e.g. CXCL2). RNA-seq analysis on cerulein-treated mouse pancreas tissues indicated that miR-146a deficiency upregulated molecular pathways for intrinsic apoptosis, actin cytoskeleton organisation and inflammation, while gene networks for mitochondrial function and cellular respiration were downregulated. .

miR-146a-5p contributes to inflammation-mediated β cell mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function as modulators of gene expression. We previously showed that miR-146a-5p is upregulated in pancreatic islets treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines and in pancreatic sections from organ donors with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Other studies have associated overexpression of miR-146a-5p with β cell apoptosis and impaired insulin secretion; however, the molecular mechanisms mediating these effects remain elusive. To investigate the role of miR-146a-5p in β cell function, we developed stable MIN6 cell lines transduced with lentiviral vectors to either overexpress or inhibit the expression of miR-146a-5p. Monoclonal cell populations were treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, IFNg, and TNFα) to model T1D in vitro. We found that overexpression of miR-146a-5p increased the cell death of MIN6 cells under inflammatory stress, whereas inhibition of miR-146a-5p reversed these effects. Additionally, inhibition of miR-146a-5p increased mitochondrial DNA copy number, respiration rate, and ATP production, suggesting that miR-146a-5p inhibition improves mitochondrial function. In support of this finding, we also observed that miR-146a-5p is enriched in the mitochondria of MIN6 cells treated with cytokines. Consistently, bioinformatic analysis of RNA sequencing data using MIN6 stable cells showed enrichment of pathways related to insulin secretion, apoptosis, and mitochondrial function when the expression levels of miR-146a-5p were altered. Overall, the findings from our study show for the first time that miR-146a-5p upregulation during inflammatory stress may promote β cell dysfunction and death by suppressing mitochondrial function.

Data in support of Absence of miRNA-146a differentially alters microglia function and proteome

Project description:MiR-146a is an important regulator of innate inflammatory responses and is also implicated in cell death and survival. Here, we identified microglia as the main cellular source of miR-146a among mouse CNS resident cells. We further characterized the phenotype of miR-146a KO microglia cells during in vivo demyelination induced by cuprizone (CPZ) and found reduced number of CD11c+ microglia in the KO compared to WT mice. Microglia were also isolated from the brain, and the proteome was analyzed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.

Single-cell RNA-seq of neutrophils from germ-free and specific-pathogen-free mice reveals gut-microbiota-driven heterogeneity and NETosis in acute pancreatitis

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) using the 10x Genomics platform to characterize pancreatic immune cell populations in germ-free (GF) and specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP). scRNA-seq analysis identified distinct neutrophil subpopulations influenced by gut microbiota presence. SPF mice showed enrichment of pro-inflammatory neutrophil clusters associated with increased neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, whereas GF mice exhibited neutrophil subsets expressing reparative and protective signatures. Our data highlight the role of gut microbiota in shaping immune responses during AP.

Expression data from female C57BL/6J and B6.Cg-Mir146atm1.1Bal/J mice after 10 weeks of normal or high fat diet

Project description:The pathogenesis of obesity-related metabolic diseases has been linked to the inflammation of white adipose tissue (WAT), but the molecular interconnections are still not fully understood. MiR-146a controls inflammatory processes by suppressing pro-inflammatory signaling pathways. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of miR-146a in obesity and insulin sensitivityresistance . MiR-146a-/- mice were subjected to a high fat diet followed by metabolic tests and WAT transcriptomics. Gain- and loss-of-function studies were performed using human Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) adipocytes. Compared to controls, miR-146a-/- mice gained significantly more body weight on a high fat diet with increased fat mass and adipocyte hypertrophy. This was accompanied by exacerbated liver steatosis, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. Likewise, adipocytes transfected with an inhibitor of miR-146a displayed a decrease in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, while transfecting miR-146a mimics caused the opposite effect. Natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3) was identified as a direct target gene of miR-146a in adipocytes and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of NPR3 increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and enhanced de-novo lipogenesis. In summary, miR-146a regulates systemic and adipocyte insulin sensitivity via downregulation of NPR3.

Two MicroRNAs and NF-kB Act in a Unique Regulatory Network to Ensure Precision of the Acute Inflammatory Response in Macrophages

Project description:The innate inflammatory response must be tightly regulated to ensure effective immune protection while avoiding inflammation-related pathologies. The transcription factor NF-kB is a critical mediator of the inflammatory response, and its dysregulation has been associated with immune related malignancies. We herein show that miR-155, miR-146a and NF-kB form a regulatory network that tunes the macrophage inflammatory response in mice. We show that elevated miR-155 expression potentiates NF-kB activity in miR-146a deficient mice, thus leading to an overactive acute inflammatory response and chronic inflammation. Enforced miR-155 expression overrides miR-146a-mediated repression of NF-kB activation, thus emphasizing that miR-155 plays a dominant, downstream role in promoting inflammation. We further show that miR-155 deficient macrophages exhibit a suboptimal inflammatory response when exposed to low levels of inflammatory stimuli. Importantly, we demonstrate a temporal asymmetry between miR-155 and miR-146a expression during macrophage activation, which forms a combined positive and negative feedback network on NF-kB activity. This miRNA based regulatory network enables a robust and time-limited inflammatory response essential for functional immunity.

Altered microRNA expression links IL6 and TNF-induced inflammaging with myeloid malignancy [miR146aKO_LSK_WGBS]

Project description:Aging is associated with significant changes in the hematopoietic system, including increased inflammation, impaired hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function, and increased incidence of myeloid malignancy. Inflammation of aging (“inflammaging”) has been proposed as a driver of age-related changes in HSC function and myeloid malignancy, but mechanisms linking these phenomena remain poorly defined. Here, we identify loss of miR-146a as driving aging-associated inflammation in AML patients. miR-146a expression declined in old wild-type mice, and loss of miR-146a promoted premature HSC aging and inflammation in young miR-146a-null mice, preceding development of aging-associated myeloid malignancy. Using single-cell assays of HSC quiescence, stemness, differentiation potential, and epigenetic state to probe HSC function and population structure, we found that loss of miR-146a depleted a subpopulation of primitive, quiescent HSCs. DNA methylation and transcriptome profiling implicated NF-κB, IL6, and TNF as potential drivers of HSC dysfunction, activating an inflammatory signaling relay promoting IL6 and TNF secretion from mature miR-146a-/- myeloid and lymphoid cells. Reducing inflammation by targeting Il6 or Tnf was sufficient to restore single-cell measures of miR-146a-/- HSC function and subpopulation structure, and reduced the incidence of hematological malignancy in miR 146a-/- mice. miR-146a-/- HSCs exhibited enhanced sensitivity to IL6 stimulation, indicating that loss of miR-146a affects HSC function via both cell-extrinsic inflammatory signals and increased cell-intrinsic sensitivity to inflammation. Thus, loss of miR 146a regulates cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic mechanisms linking HSC inflammaging to the development of myeloid malignancy.

miR-146a mediated Target Dependent Cooperative Biogenesis of miRNAs in Macrophage Cells

Project description:TLR4-activated immune response, elicited by exogenous or endogenous ligands, does give rise to several acute and chronic diseases, and plays a critical role as an amplifier of the inflammatory response. Along with, a cluster of TLR4-responsive miRNAs create a crosstalk during inflammatory escalation. Our data shows miR-146a even not having binding sites for different signalling mediators, alleviates pro-inflammatory response by modulating different stress-induced response (cytokine production, generation of NO, apoptosis etc) to reestablish macrophage homeostasis. We were curious to unravel this phenomenon. Here, we have reported miR-146a influences the biogenesis of a group of miRNAs after its overexpression. We have adopted a tet-on responsive miR-146a overexpression system in murine macrophages. A group of miRNAs has shown significant differential expression after miR-146a overexpression. Later, our targetome-based study correlated with this observation to establish the link between augmentations of anti-inflammatory response inside the cells with the miR-146a overexpression that probably have a significant role in establishing cellular homeostasis.
