Dynamic expression of viral and cellular microRNAs in infectious mononucleosis caused by primary Epstein-Barr virus infection in children

Background

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was the first virus identified to encode microRNAs (miRNAs). Both of viral and human cellular miRNAs are important in EBV infection. However, the dynamic expression profile of miRNAs during primary EBV infection was unknown. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic expression profile of viral and cellular miRNAs in infectious mononucleosis (IM) caused by primary EBV infection.

Methods

The levels of viral and cellular miRNAs were measured in fifteen pediatric IM patients at three different time-points. Fifteen healthy children who were seropositive for EBV were enrolled in the control group. Relative expression levels of miRNAs were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay.

Results

EBV-miR-BHRF1-1, 1-2-3P, miR-BART13-1, 19-3p, 11-3P, 12–1, and 16–1 in IM patients of early phase were significantly higher than in healthy children. Most cellular miRNAs of B cells, such as hsa-miR-155-5p, ?34a-5p, ?18b-5p, ?181a-5p, and ?142-5p were up-regulated; while most of cellular miRNAs of CD8?+?T cells, such as hsa-miR-223, ?29c-3p, ?181a, ?200a-3p, miR-155-5p, ?146a, and ?142-5p were down-regulated in IM patients. With disease progression, nearly all of EBV-miRNAs decreased, especially miR-BHRF1, but at a slower rate than EBV DNA loads. Most of the cellular miRNAs of B cells, including hsa-miR-134-5p, ?18b-5p, ?34a-5p, and -196a-5p increased with time. However, most of the cellular miRNAs of CD8?+?T cells, including hsa-let-7a-5p, ?142-3p, ?142-5p, and ?155-5p decreased with time. Additionally, hsa-miR-155-5p of B cells and hsa-miR-18b-5p of CD8+ T cells exhibited a positive correlation with miR-BHRF1-2-5P and miR-BART2-5P (0.96?≤?r?≤?0.99, P?<?0.05). Finally, hsa-miR-181a-5p of B cells had positive correlation with miR-BART4-3p, 4-5P, 16–1, and 22 (0.97?≤?r?≤?0.99, P?<?0.05).

Conclusions

Our study is the first to describe the expression profile of viral and cellular miRNAs in IM caused by primary EBV infection. These results might be the basis of investigating the pathogenic mechanism of EBV-related diseases and bring new insights into their diagnosis and treatment.

Hsa_circ_0000119 promoted ovarian cancer development via enhancing the methylation of CDH13 by sponging miR-142-5p

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecological cancer-related death in women, and is difficult to treat. The aim of our study is to explore the role and action mechanism of hsa_circ_0000119 in ovarian cancer, thus to analyze whether the circular RNA is a potential target for the treatment of the disease. In this present study, our data shows that hsa_circ_0000119 and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) was increased, while miR-142-5p was decreased in ovarian cancer. Overexpression of hsa_circ_0000119 promoted tumor growth, while silencing of hsa_circ_0000119 resulted in an opposite effects. Decreasing of hsa_circ_0000119 also notably inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, the data proves that hsa_circ_0000119 negatively regulated miR-142-5p and cadherin 13 (CDH13) expression, but positively regulated DNMT1 expression. miR-142-5p could interact with hsa_circ_0000119 and DNMT1 3′-UTR. Silencing of DNMT1 could reverse the inhibition of hsa_circ_0000119 to miR-142-5p and CDH13 expression. Importantly, higher level of CDH13 promoter methylation existed in the ovarian tumors than that in matched normal tissues. DNA methyltransferase inhibitor could increase the expression of CDH13 in ovarian cancer cells. In addition, our results also prove that increasing of CDH13 or miR-142-5p effectively reversed the inhibition of hsa _circ_0000119 to the cell malignant phenotypes. Overall, our data demonstrate that hsa_circ_0000119 facilitated ovarian cancer development through increasing CDH13 expression via promoting DNMT1 expression by sponging miR-142-5p. Our data demonstrate the potential role of hsa_circ_0000119 in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
