Next generation sequencing reveals microRNA isoforms in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the major histological subtype of liver cancer. Tumorigenic changes in hepatic cells potentially result from aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs). Individual microRNA gene may give rise to miRNAs of different length, named isomiRNAs that proved to be functionally relevant. Results: We detected 374 microRNAs expressed in liver, including miR-122-5p that constituted over 39% ofthe hepatic miRnome. Among the liver expressed miRs, the levels of 64 significantly differed between tumor and control samples (FDR < 0.05, fold change > 2). Almost all miRNA genes produced several mature molecules differing in length (isomiRNAs). The reference sequence was not the most prevalent in 38.6% and completely absent in 10.5% of isomiRNAs. Over 26.1% of miRNAs produced isoforms carrying ≥ 2 alternative seed regions, of which 35.5% constituted novel, previously unknown seeds. This fact sheds new light on the percentage of the human genome regulated by microRNAs and their variants. Conclusions: The study reveals the comprehensive miRNome of hepatic tissue and provides new tools for investigation of microRNA-dependent pathways in cirrhotic liver and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of miRNAs in hepatic fibrosis and normal tissues.

Project description:Aim: Hepatic fibrosis is a major worldwide medical problem and can develop into liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Until now, there are no effective drugs for liver ?brosis because the molecular mechanism of progression of liver fibrosis is not fully understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of small non-coding functional RNAs that play a key role in many biological processes. The purpose of this study was to clarify how the aberrant expression of miRNAs participates in development of the liver fibrosis in rat liver fibrosis model. Methods: Fibrotic and paired normal liver tissues were collected and assesssed by deep sequencing technology. MiRNA pro?ling results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and bioinformatics was used to predict miRNA targets. Results: Nine deregulated miRNAs were induced in porcine serum (PS)-induced hepatic fibrosis versus normal liver. Further analysis revealed several signaling pathways (e.g., gap junction and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction) may be associated with hepatic fibrogenesis. Conclusion: Several miRNAs are dysregulated in PS-induced hepatic fibrosis and seem to be closely associated with hepatic fibrogenesis. These results provide an experimental basis for understanding the mechanism of hepatic fibrosis. We sequenced two samples, including case and control. Each sample has two replicates.

High throughput profiling of microRNAs (miRNAs) in HCV-infected hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced chronic liver disease is one of the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HCC development following chronic HCV infection remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cellular homeostasis within the liver and deregulation of the miRNome has been associated with liver disease including HCC. While host miRNAs are essential for HCV replication, viral infection in turn appears to induce alterations of intrahepatic miRNA networks. Although the cross-talk between HCV and liver cell miRNAs most likely contributes to liver disease pathogenesis, the functional involvement of miRNAs in HCV-driven hepatocyte injury and HCC remains elusive. Here, we combined a hepatocyte-like based model system, high-throughput small RNA-sequencing, computational analysis and functional studies to investigate HCV-miRNA interactions that may contribute to liver disease and HCC. Profiling analyses indicated that HCV infection differentially regulated the expression of 72 miRNAs by at least two-fold including miRNAs that were previously described to target genes associated with inflammation, fibrosis and cancer development. Further investigation demonstrated that miR-146a-5p was consistently increased in HCV-infected hepatocyte-like cells and primary human hepatocytes as well as in liver tissues from HCV-infected patients. Genome-wide microarray and computational analyses indicated that miR-146a-5p over-expression is related to liver disease and HCC development. Furthermore, we showed that miR-146a-5p positively impacts on late steps of the viral replication cycle thereby increasing HCV infection. Collectively, our data indicate that the HCV-induced increase in miR-146a-5p expression both promotes viral infection and is relevant for pathogenesis of liver disease.

Mouse Liver LC-MS/MS LNA miR-676 treated dbdb mice

Project description:Over 40 % of microRNAs are located in introns of coding genes, and many intronic microRNAs are co-regulated with their host genes. In such cases of co-regulation, the products of host genes and their intronic microRNAs can cooperate to coordinately regulate biologically important pathways. Therefore, we screened intronic microRNAs dysregulated in liver of obese mouse models to identify previously uncharacterized coding host genes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our approach identified that expression of both Ectodysplasin A (Eda), the causal gene of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED; MIM 305100) and its intronic microRNA, miR-676, was strongly increased in liver of obese mouse models. Moreover, hepatic EDA expression is increased in obese human subjects, reduced upon weight loss, and its hepatic expression correlates with systemic insulin resistance. Eda expression in murine liver is controlled via PPARg activation, increases in circulation and promotes JNK activation and inhibitory serine phosphorylation of IRS1 in skeletal muscle. Consistently, bi-directional modulation of hepatic Eda expression in mouse models affects systemic glucose metabolism with alterations of muscle insulin signaling, revealing a novel role of EDA as an obesity-associated hepatokine, which impairs insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle.

Relationship between Differential Hepatic microRNA Expression and Decreased Hepatic Cytochrome P450 3A Activity in Cirrhosis

Project description:Background and Aim: Liver cirrhosis is associated with decreased hepatic cytochrome P4503A (CYP3A) activity but the pathogenesis of this phenomenon is not well elucidated. In this study, we examined if certain microRNAs (miRNA) are associated with decreased hepatic CYP3A activity in cirrhosis. Hepatic CYP3A activity and miRNA microarray expression profiles were measured in cirrhotic (n=22) and normal (n=12) liver tissue. Hepatic CYP3A activity was measured via midazolam hydroxylation in human liver microsomes. Additionally, hepatic CYP3A4 protein concentration and the expression of CYP3A4 mRNA were measured. Analyses were conducted to identify miRNAs which were differentially expressed between two groups but also were significantly associated with lower hepatic CYP3A activity. Liver tissue was collected from individuals with established cirrhosis who were awaiting liver transplantation (n=22) at the time of their liver transplantation procedure in the operating room. Normal liver tissue (n=12) was obtained from patients undergoing liver resection for metastatic/benign liver lesions with no underlying chronic liver disease

Next Generation Sequencing of Newly excysted juveniles, Juveniles and Adult Fasciola hepatica

Project description:Purpose: The miRnome of the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, has historically been assembled with limited omic's resources using specific life stages. The goals of this study is to quanity the known and published miRNAs and determine novel miRNAs across three intra-mammlian life stages. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from newly ecysted juveniles 24h post excystment, juveniles at 21d post infection in rats and adult worms during hepatic infection in sheep. Total RNA of each sample was prepared for miRNA sequencing library. Sequenced reads were cleaned and quanitified for F. hepatica mature miRNAs from miRBase version 21 and published miRNAs from Ricafrente et al 2021 using Bowtie tool. Cleaned reads were additionally analysed for novel miRNAs using MiRDeep2 tool in conjunction with the F. hepatica genome and mature miRNAs from F. hepatica, S. japonicum, S. mansoni and C.elegans. Known/published and novel miRNA read counts were normalised to CPM. Results: Of all miRNAs known/published and novel, 124 miRNAs now make up the F. hepatica miRnome. Each life stage exhibited a unique miRNA profile, from which NEJs were the most differentially expressed compared to juveniles and adult. Conclusions: Our study is the first to comparatively assess the miRNA profiles of the intrammalian life stages of F.hepatica simultaneously, from which the miRnome has now been expanded from 77 to 124.
