Knockout of miR-221 and miR-222 reveals overlapping and specific function between paralogous miRNAs

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the expression of mRNAs through sequence-specific binding into their 3′ untranslated region (UTR). The seed sequence of miRNAs is the key determinant to recognize the target sites. The paralogous miRNAs, which share the same seed sequences but differ in their 3′ parts, are known to regulate largely overlapping group of miRNAs. However, there is still no study which analyzes the functional difference among paralogous miRNAs. In this study, we compared the function between paralogous miRNAs, miR-221 and miR-222. By employing nuclease-mediated genome engineering technique, we established the knockout cell lines for these miRNAs, and analyzed their difference in target regulation precisely. We found that miR-221 and miR-222 suppress the previously identified targets, CDKN1B and CDKN1C, differentially. From the transcriptome analyses, we also found that large number of different transcripts with independent functions respond exclusively only to each of miR-221 and miR-222, respectively. Therefore, the miRNAs with common seed sequences can exert dissimilar function by regulating different groups of target mRNAs. This study illustrates that more researches are required to establish the rules of target site recognition by miRNAs.

MicroRNA profiling of human hepatocellular carcinoma samples shows miR-221 overexpression contributes to liver tumorigenesis

Project description:We profiled miRNA expression in tissue samples (104 HCC, 90 adjacent cirrhotic livers, 21 normal livers) as well as in 35 HCC cell lines. A set of 12 miRNAs (including miR-21, miR-221/222, miR-34a, miR-519a, miR-93,miR-96, and let-7c) was linked to disease progression from normal liver through cirrhosis to full-blown HCC. miR-221/222, the most upregulated miRNAs in tumor samples, are shown to target the CDK inhibitor p27 and to enhance cell growth in vitro. Conversely, these activities can be efficiently inhibited by an antagomiR specific for miR-221. In addition, we show, using a mouse model of liver cancer, that miR-221 overexpression stimulates growth of tumorigenic murine hepatic progenitor cells.

miR-221/222 drive synovial fibroblast expansion and pathogenesis of TNF-mediated arthritis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute fine tuners of gene expression and are implicated in a variety of diseases spanning from inflammation to cancer. miRNA expression is deregulated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however, their specific role in key arthritogenic cells such as the synovial fibroblast (SF) remains elusive. We have shown in the past that the expression of the miR-221/222 cluster is upregulated in RA SFs. Here, we demonstrate that miR-221/222 activation is downstream of major inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1β, which promote miR-221/222 expression independently. miR-221/222 expression in SFs from the huTNFtg mouse model of arthritis correlates with disease progression. Targeted transgenic overexpression of miR-221/222 in SFs of the huTNFtg mouse model led to further expansion of synovial fibroblasts and disease exacerbation. miR-221/222 overexpression altered the transcriptional profile of SFs igniting pathways involved in cell cycle progression and ECM regulation. Validated targets of miR-221/222 included p27 and p57 cell cycle inhibitors, as well as Smarca1 (a chromatin remodeling component). In contrast, complete genetic ablation of miR-221/222 in arthritic mice led to decreased proliferation of fibroblasts, reduced synovial expansion and attenuated disease. scATAC-seq data analysis revealed increased miR-221/222 gene activity in the pathogenic and activated clusters of the intermediate and lining compartment. Taken together, our results establish an SF-specific pathogenic role of the miR-221/222 cluster in arthritis and suggest that its therapeutic targeting in specific subpopulations should inform the design of novel fibroblast-targeted therapies for human disease.

The role of micro-RNA genes in papillary thyroid carcinoma

Project description:We show that numerous miRNAs are transcriptionally up-regulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors compared with unaffected thyroid tissue. Among the predicted target genes of the three most upregulated miRNAs (miRs 221, 222 and 146b), only less than 15% showed significant downexpression in transcript level between tumor and unaffected tissue. The KIT gene which is known to be downregulated by miRNAs 221 and 222 displayed dramatic loss of transcript and protein in those tumors that had abundant mir-221, mir-222, and mir-146b transcript.

Identification of genes differentially expressed in lung cancer cells after the transfection of miR-221 or miR-222.

Project description:To evaluate involvement of miR-221 and miR-222 in lung cancer, we investigated the effects of miR-221 and miR-222 overexpression on six lung cancer cell lines as well as one immortalized normal human bronchial epithelial cell line. Two cell lines, H3255 and H1299 with no replicates were studied. Cells were transfected with miR-221, miR-222, or miR control. Microarray analysis was done to identify genes differentially expressed in lung cancer cells after the transfection of miR-221 or miR-222.

Over-expression of hsa-miR-221 in JSC1 cells and identification of miRNA targets expressed in a panel of B-cell lines

Project description:1) To identify changes in gene expression upon over-expression of hsa-miR-221 in JSC1 cells. 2) To identify human miRNA targets expressed in a panel of B-cell lines. Gammaherpesvirus and host cell microRNAs (miRNAs) together modulate gene expression in normal and malignant cells. Using microRNA microarrays, we determined the expression of mature viral and host cellular miRNAs in a series of B cell tumours that include Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infected Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infected Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) cell lines. We show that 35 host miRNAs were constitutively expressed in all the B cell lymphomas and differences in viral miRNA expression were evident between herpesvirus positive tumour types. Furthermore, we show that in PEL, miR-221 and miR-222 expression is defective due to a lack of transcript expression rather than mutation in the miRNA encoding loci. Absence of miR-221 and miR-222 resulted in the enhanced expression of the known target gene p27 (CDKN1B) and reintroduction of miR221 in PEL reduces p27 protein expression.

Each of the 20 samples was Cy5 labelled and run with Cy3-labelled Stratagene reference RNA.
