MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of gene regulators originating from non-coding endogenous RNAs. Altered expression, both up- and down-regulation, of miRNAs plays important roles in many human diseases. Correcting miRNA dysregulation by either inhibiting or restoring miRNA function may provide therapeutic benefit. However, efficient, nontoxic miRNA delivery systems are in need. Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been widely exploited for protein, DNA, and RNA delivery. Few have examined CPP transfection efficiency with single stranded anti-miRNA. The R8 peptide condensed both siRNA and anti-miRNA. Greater than 50% of cells had anti-miRNA/R8 complexes associated and in these cells 68% of anti-miRNA escapes the endosome/lysosome. Single-stranded antisense miR-21 inhibitor (anti-miR-21) administered using the R8 peptide elicited efficient downstream gene upregulation. Glioblastoma cell migration was inhibited by 25% compared to the negative control group. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of miRNA modulation with anti-miR-21/R8 complexes, which has laid the groundwork for further exploring octaarginine as intracellular anti-miRNAs carrier. 相似文献

Our previous research has found that miRNA-22 can inhibit the occurrence of pyroptosis by targeting GSDMD and decrease the production and release of inflammatory factors. In consideration of the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), MSCs-EV were loaded with miRNA-22 (EV-miRNA-22) to investigate the inhibitory effect of EV-miRNA-22 on the inflammatory response in SCI in rats in this study. LPS/Nigericin (LPS/NG) was used to induce pyroptosis in rat microglia in vitro. Propidium iodide (PI) staining was performed to observe cell permeability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay was adopted to detect cytotoxicity, flow cytometry was conducted to detect pyroptosis level, immunofluorescence (IF) staining was utilized to observe the expression level of GSDMD (a key protein of pyroptosis), Western blot was performed to detect the expression of key proteins. For animal experiments, the T10 spinal cord of rats was clamped by aneurysm clip to construct the SCI model. BBB score, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and motor evoked potential (MEP) were performed to detect nerve function. HE staining and Nissl staining were used to detect spinal cord histopathology and nerve cell damage. EV-miRNA-22 could inhibit the occurrence of pyroptosis in microglia, suppress the cell membrane pore opening, and inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and the expression of GSDMD. In addition, EV-miRNA-22 showed higher pyroptosis-inhibiting ability than EV. Consequently, EV-miRNA-22 could inhibit the nerve function injury after SCI in rats, inhibit the level of inflammatory factors in the tissue and the activation of microglia. In this study, we found that miRNA-22-loaded MSCs-EV (EV-miRNA-22) could cooperate with EV to inhibit inflammatory response and nerve function repair after SCI. 相似文献

Glioma is one of the major global health problems, including in China. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been increasingly identified and characterized in almost every aspect of biology, especially in cancer biology. This research desires to explore the functions and mechanism of a novel circRNA, circ_0079593, on regulating glioma progression. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out to measure the relative expression of circ_0079593, which was upregulated in matched cancerous tissues from 60 patients and four cell lines of glioma. A higher level of circ_0079593 in glioma specimens was linked to larger tumor size, higher WHO grade, and worse survival rate for patients with glioma. Moreover, circ_0079593 can be deemed as an independent prognostic predictor for glioma patients analyzed by multivariate method. Cell counting kit-8, flow cytometric, wound healing, and transwell experiments were used to evaluate cell growth, apoptosis, migration, and invasion influenced by circ_0079593 knockdown/overexpression. Exogenous downregulation of circ_0079593 expression significantly suppressed glioma cell proliferation by increasing cell apoptosis in vitro, and retarded the migratory and invasive potential. Ectopic expressed circ_0079593 could induce the opposite effects. Mechanistically, bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR, and dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that microRNA 182 (miR-182) and miR-433 could be sponged and negatively regulated by circ_0079593. Further, rescue assays demonstrated that the biological functions of circ_0079593 are dependent on its inhibition of miR-182 and miR-433. Collectively, the present work indicates that circ_0079593 may be used as an effective prognostic marker and therapeutic target for glioma. 相似文献

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, a major cause of renal failure, always leads to acute kidney injury and kidney fibrosis. MicroRNAs (miRs) have been reported to be associated with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. miR-194 was downregulated following renal ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, the function and mechanism of miR-194 in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury have not yet been fully understood. In the present study, we constructed renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model in vitro through treatment of human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells HK-2 by hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R). We observed that miR-194 was decreased in H/R-induced HK-2 cells. miR-194 mimic increased H/R-induced HK-2 cell survival, whereas miR-194 inhibitor further strengthened H/R- inhibited HK-2 cell survival. Also, we observed that miR-194 overexpression suppressed oxidative stress markers, including malondialdehyde, glutathione, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α; however, miR-194 inhibitor showed the reverse effects. Results from dual-luciferase analysis confirmed that Ras homology enriched in brain (Rheb) was a direct target of miR-194. Finally, we corroborated that miR-194 affected cell growth, oxidative stress, and inflammation through targeting Rheb in H/R-induced HK-2 cells. In conclusion, our results suggested that miR-194 protect against H/R-induced injury in HK-2 cells through direct targeting Rheb. 相似文献

Administration of propofol at the time of reperfusion has shown to protect the heart from ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanism underling the cardioprotective effect of propofol against myocardial I/R injury (MIRI) in vivo and in vitro. Rat heart I/R injury was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery for 30 min followed by 2-hr reperfusion. Propofol pretreatment (0.01 mg/g) was performed 10 min before reperfusion. In vitro MIRI was investigated in cultured cardiomyocytes H9C2 following hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injuries. Propofol pretreatment in vitro was achieved in the medium supplemented with 25 μmol/L propofol before H/R injuries. Propofol pretreatment significantly increased miRNA-451 expression, decreased HMGB1 expression, reduced infarct size, and I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rat hearts undergoing I/R injuries. Knockdown of miRNA-451 48 hr before I/R injury was found to increase HMGB1 expression, infarct size, and I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rat hearts in the presence of propofol pretreatment. These in vivo findings were reproduced in vivo that knockdown of miRNA-451 48 hr before H/R injuries increased HMGB1 expression and H/R-induced apoptosis in cultured H9C2 supplemented with propofol. In addition, luciferase activity assays and gain-of-function studies found that propofol could decrease HMGB1, the target of miRNA-541. Taken together our findings provide a first demonstration that propofol-mediated cardioprotection against MIRI is dependent of microRNA-451/HMGB1. The study provides a novel target to prevent I/R injury during propofol anesthesia. 相似文献
