miR-200c-3p靶向FOSL1增加乳腺癌细胞化疗敏感性

化疗耐受是乳腺癌复发转移率居高不下、综合治疗效果难以提高的主要瓶颈。前期研究证实,miR-200c-3p在乳腺癌敏感细胞MCF-7中的表达量显著高于耐药细胞MCF-7/5Fu,提示miR-200c-3p可能参与乳腺癌化疗增敏,但是具体机制不详。生物信息学预测联合双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实,miR-200c-3p靶向调控FOSL1,且在多种肿瘤中miR-200c-3p与FOSL1表达负相关。实时荧光定量PCR技术和Western印迹技术证实,FOSL1在耐药细胞MCF-7/5Fu中的表达量显著高于亲本细胞MCF-7。在MCF-7细胞中,过表达FOSL1能够显著提高该细胞对5-Fu的化疗耐受;在MCF-7/5Fu中,使用siRNA技术沉默FOSL1,将提高该细胞对5-Fu的化疗敏感性。此外,MTT实验还发现,miR-200c-3p抑制剂能够显著上调MCF-7细胞对5-Fu的耐受,但是在此细胞中干扰FOSL1的表达,又可以增加其对5-Fu的化疗敏感性;miR-200c-3p mimics显著增加MCF-7/5Fu细胞的化疗敏感性,上调FOSL1表达后又可逆转miR-200c-3p mimics的化疗增敏作用。总之,miR-200-3p能够通过靶向FOSL1增加乳腺癌细胞对5-fluorouridine化疗敏感性。

Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling by miR-200b

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling plays an important role in angiogenesis. In the VEGF signaling pathway, the key components are VEGF and its receptors, Flt-1 and KDR. In this study, we show that transfection of synthetic miR-200b reduced protein levels of VEGF, Flt-1, and KDR. In A549 cells, miR-200b targeted the predicted binding sites in the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of VEGF, Flt-1, and KDR as revealed by a luciferase reporter assay. When transfected with miR-200b, the ability of HUVECs to form a capillary tube on Matrigel and VEGF-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 were significantly reduced. Taken together, these results suggest that miR-200b negatively regulates VEGF signaling by targeting VEGF and its receptors and that miR-200b may have therapeutic potential as an angiogenesis inhibitor.     

miR-200b precursor can ameliorate renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis

Members of the miR-200 family of micro RNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT of tubular epithelial cells is the mechanism by which renal fibroblasts are generated. Here we show that miR-200 family members inhibit transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-induced EMT of tubular cells. Unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) is a common model of EMT of tubular cells and subsequent tubulointerstitial fibrosis. In order to examine the role of miR-200 family members in tubulointerstitial fibrosis, their expression was investigated in the kidneys of UUO mice. The expression of miR-200 family miRNAs was increased in a time-dependent manner, with induction of miR-200b most pronounced. To clarify the effect of miR-200b on tubulointerstitial fibrosis, we injected miR-200b precursor intravenously. A single injection of 0.5 nM miR-200b precursor was sufficient to inhibit the increase of collagen types I, III and fibronectin in obstructed kidneys, and amelioration of fibrosis was confirmed by observation of the kidneys with Azan staining. miR-200 family members have been previously shown to inhibit EMT by reducing the expression of ZEB-1 and ZEB-2 which are known repressors of E-cadherin. We demonstrated that expression of ZEB-1 and ZEB-2 was increased after ureter obstruction and that administration of the miR-200b precursor reversed this effect. In summary, these results indicate that miR-200 family is up-regulated after ureter obstruction, miR-200b being strongly induced, and that miR-200b ameliorates tubulointerstitial fibrosis in obstructed kidneys. We suggest that members of the miR-200 family, and miR-200b specifically, might constitute novel therapeutic targets in kidney disease.     

MiR-200c-3p increased HDMEC proliferation through the notch signaling pathway

Excessive proliferation of vascular endothelial cells can cause hemangioma. Although typically benign, hemangiomas can become life-threatening. The microRNA miR-200c-3p is abnormally expressed in some types of tumors, but its expression, biological role, and mechanism of action in infantile hemangioma remain to be fully elucidated. The expression levels of miR-200c-3p in hemangioma tissue were compared with those in adjacent healthy tissue by using bioinformatics analyses and TargetScan. Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Cell Counting Kit 8 analyses were used to determine the biological function and site of action of miR-200c-3p in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs). MiR-200c-3p was one of the top 10 differentially expressed genes between healthy tissue, and hemangiomas tissues, having markedly decreased expression in hemangioma tissue. Reduction of miR-200c-3p expression in HDMECs through the transfection of a miR-200c-3p inhibitor significantly increased HDMEC proliferation. The addition of the Notch signaling pathway inhibitor DAPT to HDMECs transfected with the miR-200c-3p inhibitor eliminated the inhibitor-induced enhancement of proliferation in HDMECs. These findings indicate that miR-200c-3p targets the Notch signaling pathway to promote the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, suggesting that miR-200c-3p plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hemangioma.     

MicroRNA-200a induces apoptosis by targeting ZEB2 in alcoholic liver disease

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and its complication continued to be a major health problem throughout the world. Increasing evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA) that regulate apoptosis, inflammation and lipid metabolism are affected by alcohol in ALD. MiR-200a has emerged as a major regulator in several liver diseases, but its role in ALD has not been elucidated. The aim of this study is to figure out the biological function of miR-200a in ALD and to explore its underlying mechanism. The expression pattern of miR-200a were analyzed in vitro and in vivo, we showed that miR-200a was up-regulated in ALD in AML-12 and primary hepatocyte. We then examined it's effect on cell apoptosis and identified zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2; also known as SIP1) as a direct target gene of miR-200a. Furthermore, reintroduction of ZEB2 could reverse the pro-apoptosis of miR-200a on AML-12. Taken together, our study demonstrated that miR-200a regulates the apoptosis of hepatocyte in ALD by directly target ZEB2, both of which could serve as new therapeutic targets for ALD.     

Long non-coding RNA-ATB promotes EMT during silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis by competitively binding miR-200c

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important signal transduction regulators that act by various patterns. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA related pathways in occupational lung fibrosis. Our previous study found that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was one of the key events in silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. This study showed that the lncRNA-ATB promoted EMT by acting as a miR-200c sponge. miR-200c was identified by miRNA array as a potential target of lncRNA-ATB and verified by dual luciferase reporter gene together with RNA pull-down assays. Moreover, our findings demonstrated that lncRNA-ATB is abundantly expressed during EMT of lung epithelial cells, which contributes to decreased levels of miR-200c. miR-200c targeted ZEB1 to relief silicosis by blocking EMT in vivo and in vitro. The results also suggested M2 macrophages secreted transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) to induce EMT process by activating lncRNA-ATB in epithelial cells. Collectively, silica-stimulated macrophages secreted TGF-β1 to induce lncRNA-ATB in epithelia cells, promoting EMT by binding with miR-200c and releasing ZEB1. These observations provide further understanding of the regulatory network of silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis and identify new therapeutic targets hopefully.
