Project description:Current drugs that directly target pro-angiogenic factors to inhibit or reverse corneal neovascularization, the major sight-threatening pathology caused by angiogenic stimuli, require multiple rounds of administration and have limited efficacies. Here we report the profiling of anti-angiogenic corneal microRNAs (miRNAs), and a framework that employs discovered miRNAs as biotherapies deliverable by recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs). By querying differentially expressed miRNAs in neovascularized mouse corneas induced by alkali-burn, we have revealed 39 miRNAs that are predicted to target more than 5,500 differentially expressed corneal mRNAs. Among these corneal miRNAs, we selected miR-204 and assessed its efficacy as a therapeutic miRNA in injured corneas. Our results show that delivery of miR-204 by rAAV is efficacious and safe for mitigating corneal NV. Overall, our work demonstrates the discovery of therapeutic miRNAs in corneal disorders and their translation into viable clinical vectors.

Project description:The aim of this study is to discover genes regulated by miR-204. Differential gene expression in HEK-293 cells transfected with miR-204-mimic compared to HEK-293 cells transfected with control oligo (HEK-293 control) was analyzed using the Agilent Human Whole Genome 4x44K gene expression array (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). HEK-293 cells were transfected with either miR-204 or a control, and gene expression was analyzed using the Agilent Human Whole Genome 4x44K array. A dye-swap was performed.

Project description:We established two distinct stable clones which ectopically overexpress miR-204-5p to different levels, then performed transcriptome profiling of miR-204-5p overexpressing cells compared to control 4T1 cells to understand the molecular mechanisms of the miR-204-5p’s effect on cancer cells.

Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to screen potential target genes of miR-204-5p in colorectal cancer cell HCT116. HCT116 cells were seeded in 6-cm2 tissue culture plates and transfected with the miR-204-5p mimic or negative control (NC) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, USA). After propagation for 48 hours, total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA). Expression profiling was performed using an Agilent human whole genome oligo microarray chip (4M-CM-^W44K) (Agilent, USA) Expression profiling in HCT116 cells was measured at 48 hours after transfection with miR-204-5p or negative control. Experiments were performed using the two samples without repeat experiment.

Project description:Introduction: The mechanisms underlying myopia and myopia-related retinopathy remain not fully understood. We proposed to examine the function and underlying mechanisms of miR-204-5p in myopia development. Methods: The miR-204-5p expression level was assessed in the vitreous humor (VH) of a cohort consisting of 11 patients with high myopia (HM) and 16 control patients undergoing retinal surgery. The functional implications of miR-204-5p in ARPE-19 cells were assessed, encompassing cell aggressiveness. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) was found as a possible target of miR-204-5p through mRNA sequencing, and its interaction with miR-204-5p was confirmed employing luciferase assay and western blotting. Furthermore, the miR-204-5p function in regulating oxidative stress was examined by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Results: miR-204-5p was found to be significantly reduced in the VH of HM patients. Overexpression of miR-204-5p suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis in ARPE-19 cells. The bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that miR-204-5p can modulate the genes associated with pathways relevant to myopia, including glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation, lysosome, and TGF−beta signaling pathway. The direct targeting of miR-204-5p on TXNIP has been confirmed through validation, and its downregulation mediated the miR-204-5p impacts on ARPE-19 cells. Moreover, miR-204-5p overexpression significantly reduced ROS accumulation by targeting TXNIP. Conclusion: Our findings revealed the possible contribution of the miR-204-5p/TXNIP axis in myopia development by regulating oxidative stress, which may provide new targets and novel therapeutic strategies to combat this prevalent and debilitating condition.

Project description:Purpose: We compared the levels of miRNA specific for DEGs in isograft corneas with those in normal corneas, as well as the levels of miRNA specific for DEGs in allograft corneas with those in isograft corneas, to gain a better understanding of molecular variables that affect corneal graft rejection pathways. Methods: Illumina Hiseq 2500 deep sequencing was used to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in matched pairs of isograft corneas and normal corneas, allograft corneas and isograft corneas. Potential target genes among the DEGs were predicted using target prediction software (TargetScan, Miranda, miRDB, and CLIP), and the overlay portion was analyzed using the Gene Ontology (GO) database and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). An analysis of the interactions between DEG proteins (PPI analysis) and a MetaCore software analysis. Results: Our results showed that 22 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 4 were significantly downregulated in the isograft group when compared with the control group (P < 0.01), while 17 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 3 were significantly downregulated in the allograft group when compared with the isograft group (P < 0.01). Among the miRNAs with altered expression levels, miR-155-5p, miR-142-3p, miR-142-5p, and miR-223-3p displayed simultaneous changes in the above two comparisons. Potential target genes among the DEGs were predicted using target prediction software, and the overlay portion was analyzed using the Gene Ontology (GO) database and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). GO and KEGG analyses showed that the DEGs were mainly involved in metabolic pathways, cytokine secretion, and tumor immunity functions. An analysis of the interactions between DEG proteins (PPI analysis) and a MetaCore software analysis of 4 key DEGs revealed that the genes regulated by miR-155-5p played important roles in the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. Furthermore, the MetaCore analysis identified C/EBP beta, p53, and sp1 as key transcription factors in that network. Conclusions: Our study identified transplanted corneas-specific miRNA in matched pairs of isograft corneas and normal corneas, allograft corneas and isograft corneas. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis of the key miRNA regulatory network revealed the molecular mechanisms, which suggests miRNAs may as new molecular targets for treating corneal injuries and corneal transplant rejection
