Transcriptome data of miR-30e-5p overexpression in human aortic endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: To explore the transcriptional changes in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) caused by miR-30e-5p overexpression, we transfected HAECs with miR-30e-5p mimics or control miRNA and profiled transcriptomes by RNA-seq

Project description:The transition of the endothelium to a pro-inflammatory state is key to progression of chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic bowel disease and atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis it is hypothesized that low density lipoproteins (LDL) that become trapped in the intima of the blood vessels are oxidized to minimally modified LDL (mmLDL) and that these serve as an important contributing factors to endothelial dysfunction. Oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (OX-PAPC), a model of the active phospholipid components of mmLDL affects the expression of hundreds of genes involved in inflammatory and other biological processes in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). We hypothesized that microRNAs (miRNAs) partially regulate this response. Using next generation sequencing, we identified miR-21-3p and miR-27a-5p to be induced 4-fold and 3-fold, respectively in response to OX-PAPC treatment compared to control treatment in HAECs. To identify the targets, we performed whole genome transcript profiling following transient over-expression of these two miRNAs followed by. In total, 1254 genes were down-regulated with 925 of them overlapping between the two miRNAs. Functional enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology predicted that the two miRNAs were involved in the regulation of NF-κB signaling. We characterized the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor protein TICAM2 as a direct target of miR-21-3p and miR-27a-5p. Furthermore, we showed that over-expression of miR-21-3p and miR-27a-5p lead to decreased p65 translocation to the nucleus and decreased the expression of known NF-κB downstream target genes confirming both miRNAs’ role in negatively regulating NF-κB signaling in endothelial cells. mRNA expression profiling of human aortic endothelial cells from two separate donors that were transfected with 1 nM microRNA mimics and negative control. The miRIDIAN mimics used were miR-21-3p (Catalog Number:C-301023-01-0005), miR-27a-5p (Catalog No: C-301028-01-0005), negative control (Catalog No: CN-001000-01-05)

Project description:Abstract Objectives: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a fatal cardiovascular disease with no effective drug treatment currently available. The aberrant expressions of microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to AAA pathogenesis. In this study, we aimed to perform miRNA microarray analysis to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in the aortas of AAA mice compared to those in control mice, and to clarify the role and mechanism of miRNA-378a-5p (miR-378a-5p) in the AAA development. Methods: We performed a comprehensive miRNA microarray analysis to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in the aortas of AAA mice and control mice. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of miR-378a-5p in the serum and aortas of AAA patients and mice. To clarify the role of miR-378a-5p in the AAA development in vivo, miR-378a-5p antagomir and angomir were administered to ApoE-/- mice using tail venous injection, followed by Angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion. Next, the role of miR-378a-5p in the phenotypic switching and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was examined in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, the targets of miR-378a-5p were identified by bioinformatics analysis, luciferase assay, qRT-PCR and western blot. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay combined with mass spectrometry were carried out for excavating potential downstream effectors. Results: The expression of miR-378a-5p was decreased in the serum and aortas of AAA patients and mice, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)-treated VSMCs. In vivo, the antagomir-378a-5p aggravated AAA formation, as evidenced by a larger maximal aortic diameter and greater medial elastin degradation than in control mice. MiR-378a-5p angomir had the opposite effect. In vitro, miR-378a-5p overexpression significantly promoted the contraction ability and suppressed the migration of VSMCs, whereas miR-378a-5p knockdown inhibited the contraction ability and increased the migration of VSMCs. Mechanistically, we discovered that miR-378a-5p played a protective role in AAA development by regulating actin-binding LIM protein 1 (ABLIM1)-megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) pathway. Conclusion: MiR-378a-5p exerts protective effects against AAA by maintaining VSMCs homeostasis via the ABLIM1-MKL1 pathway. Therefore, targeting miR-378a-5p may be an attractive therapeutic strategy for AAA treatment.
