MiR-181c is up-regulated in monoMAC cells related to increased cell death

ABSTRACT: Somatic and germline mutations in GATA2 were recently identified in patients diagnosed with monoMAC, the hallmarks of which include monocytopenia, B-cell and NK-cell lymphopenia, susceptibility to opportunistic infections (e.g. MAC), and a strong propensity to develop hypocellular MDS/AML or CMML. GATA2 mutations are thought to result in loss of function or haploinsufficiency, but the precise mechanism for the development of cytopenias, immunodeficiency, and susceptibility to MDS remains to be elucidated. MicroRNA (miR) represents a unique mechanism of post-transcriptional gene regulation. In this study we generated microRNA profiles of patient derived monoMAC cell lines followed by functional studies to identify aberrant miRs and their targets, which could potentially cooperate with GATA2 deficiency in generating cytopenias and hematologic disease. In our study, eight miRs were significantly differentially expressed (≥ 2-fold; p ≤ 0.05) as determined by microRNA microarray profiles; miR-9, miR-181a-2-3p, miR-181c, miR-181c-3p, miR-486-3p, and miR-582-5p showed increased expression in monoMAC cell lines compared to controls, while miR-223 and miR-424-3p showed significantly decreased expression. Among the differentially expressed miRs that were validated by quantitative RT-PCR was miR-181c, which demonstrated a 2.2 fold increase in expression in monoMAC cell lines (p = 0.013). Among the target transcripts potentially regulated by miR-181c, MCL1 expression was significantly decreased (2 fold; p = 0.018) in monoMAC cell lines in comparison to control cell lines. Transient transfection of miR-181c in Ly8 cells resulted in 40% decrease of MCL1 mRNA level, suggesting that miR-181c negatively regulates MCL1 in MonoMAC. These findings indicate that monoMAC/GATA2 deficiency is associated with significantly decreased expression of MCL1 possibly through negative regulation involving miR-181c. Deletion of Mcl1 is known to cause apoptosis, loss of HSCs, and cytopenias in murine studies. Thus, down-regulation of MCL1 seen in monoMAC/GATA2 deficiency may similarly favor unregulated apoptosis and the depletion of hematopoietic progenitors resulting in cytopenias, immunodeficiency, and risk of MDS/AML.

Project description:The hallmark of follicular lymphoma (FL) is the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation. However, constitutive expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 alone is insufficient for lymphomagenesis and subsequent molecular hits are required. We explored the role of microRNA (miRNA or miR) in the biology of FL by generating miRNA profiles of enriched sorted grade 1 and 2 FL tumor cells derived from 18 patients compared with enriched germinal center B-cells derived from seven follicular hyperplasia (FH). Expression levels of 851 human miRs were assayed and 133 miRs were significantly differentially expressed in FL tumor cells. The expression of 44 miRs in three major groups generated a unique FL signature. MiRs in group 1 were increased in FL (miR-193-5p, -193b*, -345, -513b, -574-3p, -584, -663, -1287, -1295, and -1471). Group 2 was increased in the majority of FL cases but showed lower levels of expression in a subset of FL (let-7a, let-7f, miR-7-1*, -9, -9*, -20a, -20b, -30b, -96, -98, -194, -195, -221*, -374a, -451, -454, -502-3p, -532-3p, -574-3p, -664*, -1274a, -1274b, and -1260). MiR group 3 was decreased in FL (miR-17*, -30a, 33a, 106a*, -141, 202, -205, -222, 301b, -431*, and -570). Two patterns within FL were detected, largely due to the variable expression of group 2 miRs. The pattern with higher expression of group 2 miRs was associated with complete response to chemotherapy. Gene expression analysis of 199 genes related to lymphoma and tumor development performed in tandem indicated differential expression of 47 genes in FL including increased expression of AKT-1, PRKCE, IL4R, DROSHA, and MAPK1; and decreased expression of CHEK1, RAD51, CDKN1A, SOCS2, KLF4, BLIMP1 and IRF4. Functional studies provide evidence that miR-20a and -20b target CDKN1A/p21, miR-194 targets SOCS2, and miR-301b targets MAPK1 in FL, affecting cell proliferation and potentially contributing to lymphomagenesis. These findings suggest a role for aberrant miRNA expression in the biology of FL with prognostic and mechanistic implications. miRNA profiling was performed using Agilent miRNA array platform with RNAs isolated from sorted follicular lymphoma B cells and follicular hyperplasia B cells.

Project description:Lifestyle disorders like obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular diseases can be prevented and treated by regular physical activity. During exercise, skeletal muscles release signaling factors that communicate with other organs and mediate beneficial effects of exercise. These factors include myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). In the present study, we have examined how electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of myotubes, a model of exercise, affects the cargo of released EVs. Chronic low frequency EPS was applied for 24 h to human myotubes isolated and differentiated from biopsy samples from 6 morbidly obese females with T2D, and EVs, both exosomes and microvesicles (MV), were isolated from cell media 24 h thereafter. Size and concentration of EV subtypes were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, surface markers were examined by flow cytometry and Western blotting, and morphology was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Protein content was assessed by high-resolution proteomic analysis (LC-MS/MS), non-coding RNA was quantified by Affymetrix microarray, and selected microRNAs (miRs) validated by real time RT-qPCR. The size and concentration of exosomes and MV were unaffected by EPS. Of the 400 miRs identified in the EVs, EPS significantly changed the level of 15 exosome miRs, of which miR-1233-5p showed the highest fold change. The miR pattern of MV was unaffected by EPS. Totally, about 1000 proteins were identified in exosomes and 2000 in MV. EPS changed the content of 73 proteins in exosomes, 97 in MVs, and of these 4 were changed in both exosomes and MV (GANAB, HSPA9, CNDP2, and ATP5B). By matching the EPS-changed miRs and proteins in exosomes, 31 targets were identified, and among these several promising signaling factors. Of particular interest were CNDP2, an enzyme that generates the appetite regulatory metabolite Lac-Phe, and miR-4433b-3p, which targets CNDP2. Several of the regulated miRs, such as miR-92b-5p, miR-320b, and miR-1233-5p might also mediate interesting signaling functions.
