Project description:Retinal neovascularization is a severe complication of several neovascular retinal diseases, including proliferative diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion and retinopathy of prematurity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are master regulators of gene expression that play an important role in retinal neovascularization. Here, we investigate the retinal miRNA expression profile in a rat model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) using miRNA-Seq. We show that miR-143-3p, miR-126-3p, and miR-150-5p are significantly downregulated in the retina of OIR rats, and intravitreal injection of synthetic mimics of these miRNAs significantly ameliorate retinal neovascularization in this animal model. Of these identified miRNAs, miR-143 which is highly expressed in the neural retina and retinal vasculature is here identified for the first time to be associated with retinal neovascularization. With a focus on miR-143 expression in primary human retinal endothelial cells, we explore its involved pathways through a multi-omics analysis. In miR-143 treated cells, the functional evaluation showed a decrease in cell migration and delayed endothelial vessel-like tube remodelling. Consequently, the multi-omics analysis suggests that miR-143 negatively impacts endothelial cell activity through regulating cell-matrix adhesion and mediating HIF signalling pathway. Furthermore, using cytoHubba, a topological analysis method to assess the essentiality of genes, we predict 20 top hub genes regulated by miR-143 that may be involved in mediating endothelial cell function. Using CIBERSORTx, a bulk gene expression deconvolution algorithm, we analyze a public RNA-Seq dataset (GSE102485) and demonstrate that the retinal neovascular membranes in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) principally consist of endothelial cells. We then identify 2 hub genes, THBS1 and SERPINE1, direct targets of miR-143, which on further analysis demonstrate an expression level significantly altered in the PDR patients compared to controls. These findings suggest that miR-143 appears to be essential for limiting endothelial cell-matrix adhesion, thus suppressing retinal neovascularization. The present study might have important implications for the exploration of potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of neovascular ocular diseases.
Project description:Purpose: To evaluate whether the single nucleotide polimorphsim rs41291957, located in the pri-miR-143/145, influences the primary RNA secondary structure. Methods: In vitro transcription and folding for the pri-miR-143/145 carrying the WT allele (G) or the mutated one (A) was carried out. The RNAs were then subjected to RNAseI treatement for 30 minutes and RNA seq performed on the digested nucleic acids. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow for small RNAs, we mapped the sequence reads on the human pri-miR-143/145 carrying the G- or A-allele. We observed an increase of small reads (<60bps) for the A-allele and a different profile of read enrichement between the digested G- and A-allele RNA, indicating the difference in secondary structure.
Project description:To assess the transcriptomic response associated with upregulation of the miR-143/-145 cluster, BRAFV600E mutant human melanoma cells M238P cells were transduced for stable expression of miR-143/145 cluster or with a control vector. Forty-eight hours after transduction, cells were treated with 1 μg/mL of puromycin for one week. RNA samples were then harvested. Two independent experiments were carried out.
Project description:miR-493-5p, miR-3662, and miR-589-3p were estimated as working microRNAs in bleomycin- and methotrexate-induced phenotypic changes in A549 cells via microRNAs-Proteins Analysis of Integrative Relationship (miR-PAIR). To verify the effect of these miRNAs on the their target protein expression levels, comprehensive expression of proteins in A549 cells treated with miR-493-59, miR-3662, and miR-589-3p mimic was examined by SWATH-MS method. As expected by a miR-PAIR mehtod, almost target proteins were succesfully regulated by miR-493-5p and miR-589-3p mimics.
