MiR‐146a‐5p in urine samples was recently reported to be possibly used as a prognostic marker for bladder cancer (BC). Interestingly, YAP1 and COX2 were both demonstrated to function as stem cell regulators in BC. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to establish the molecular mechanism underlying the role of miR‐146a, YAP1 and COX2 in BC relapse. We also studied the possibility of using the C > G genotype of miR‐146a rs2910164 SNP as an indicator of BC relapse. A total of 170 BC patients were assigned into different groups based on their genotypes of rs2910164 SNP. Kaplan‐Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the recurrence‐free rate among these groups. Real‐time PCR, Western Blot, bioinformatic analysis, luciferase assay and IHC assay were conducted to study the role of rs2910164 SNP in the progression of BC. Accordingly, GC/CC‐genotyped patients presented a higher risk of recurrence when compared with GG‐genotyped patients, while the expression of BC regulators was influenced by the presence of rs2910164. COX2 mRNA and YAP1 mRNA were, respectively, validated as direct target genes of miR‐146a, and the expression of YAP1 and COX2 mRNA/protein was both suppressed by miR‐146a precursors. The expression of ALDH1A1 mRNA/protein was inhibited upon the down‐regulation of YAP1, while the expression of let7 and SOX2 mRNA/protein was inhibited upon the down‐regulation of COX2. In conclusion, two signalling pathways, miR‐146a/YAP1/ALDH1A1 and miR‐146a/COX2/PGE2/let7/SOX2, were modulated by miR‐146a. As an SNP regulating the expression of miR‐146a, the rs2910164 G > C SNP could be utilized as a biomarker for BC relapse.  相似文献

Recent evidence indicates that oxidative stress and genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. SNPs in miRNAs involved in oxidative stress could potentially influence the development of vitiligo. In this case–control study, we investigated the association of a functional SNP of rs11614913 in miR‐196a‐2 with risk of vitiligo. A significantly lower risk of vitiligo was associated with the rs11614913 miR‐196a‐2 CC genotype (adjusted OR, 0.77; CI, 0.60–0.98). In addition, TYRP1 gene expression was considerably down‐regulated by the rs11614913 C allele in miR‐196a‐2, which lowered the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced the proportion of early apoptosis in human melanocytes in response to H2O2 treatment. Our data suggest that the rs11614913 C allele in miR‐196a‐2 confers potential protection against oxidative effects on human melanocytes through the modulation of the target gene, TYRP1, which may account for the decreased risk of vitiligo in this study population.  相似文献

Background: Common single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNA) have been shown to be associated with susceptibility to several human cancers. We evaluated the associations of three SNPs (rs11614913, rs2910164, and rs3746444) in pre‐miRNAs (miR‐196a2, miR‐146a, and miR‐499) with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and peptic ulcer diseases, and with the severity of Helicobacter pylori‐induced gastritis in Japanese population. Methods: The rs11614913 (C>T), rs2910164 (G>C), and rs3746444 (A>G) SNPs were genotyped in 552 GC, and 697 non‐cancer subjects, including 141 gastric and 73 duodenal ulcer, and 483 non‐ulcer subjects. The degree of histologic gastritis was classified according to the updated Sydney System, and the serum pepsinogen levels were measured in selected 579 and 204 cases. Results: The rs2910164 CC genotype held a significantly higher risk of GC when compared to non‐cancer subjects (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–1.66, p =.03). Similarly, the rs2910164 C carrier was associated with higher risk of GC when compared to both non‐cancer and non‐ulcer subjects (OR = 1.39, 95%CI = 1.00–1.93, p =.05, adjusted OR = 1.57, 95%CI = 1.09–2.27, p =.016, respectively). The rs2910164 CC genotype was associated with non‐cardia and upper third, diffuse type and advanced stage GC. The rs11614913 TT genotype was associated with higher degree of mononuclear cell infiltration (score 0–1 vs 2~, adjusted OR = 1.62, 95%CI = 1.05–2.49, p =.03). Conclusions: The rs2910164 (G>C) SNP in the miR‐146a is associated with susceptibility to GC. In addition, the rs11614913 (C>T) SNP in the miR‐196a2 is associated with the degree of H. pylori‐induced mononuclear cell infiltration.  相似文献

Our study aims to explore the role of microRNA‐181b (miR‐181b) and TLR in the regulation of cell proliferation of human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs) in psoriasis. Twenty‐eight patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris were selected as a case group with their lesional and non‐lesional skin tissues collected. A control group consisted of 20 patients who underwent plastic surgery with their healthy skin tissues collected. Real‐time quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR), in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expressions of miR‐181b and TLR4 in HEKs of healthy skin, psoriatic lesional skin and non‐lesional skin respectively. The 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TLR4 combined with miR‐181b was verified by a dual‐luciferase reporter assay. Western blotting and bromodeoxyuridine were applied for corresponding detection of TLR4 expression and cell mitosis. The expression of miR‐181b in HEKs of psoriatic lesional skin was less than healthy skin and psoriatic non‐lesional skin. In psoriatic lesional and non‐lesional skin, TLR4‐positive cell rates and the number of positive cells per square millimetre were higher than healthy skin. The dual‐luciferase reporter assay verified that miR‐181b targets TLR4. HEKs transfected with miR‐181b mimics had decreased expression of TLR4, along with the decrease of mitotic indexes and Brdu labelling indexes. However, HEKs transfected with miR‐181b inhibitors showed increased TLR4 expression, mitotic indexes and Brdu labelling indexes. HEKs transfected with both miR‐181b inhibitors and siTLR4 had decreased mitotic indexes and Brdu labelling indexes. These results indicate that miR‐181b can negatively regulate the proliferation of HEKs in psoriasis by targeting TLR4.  相似文献

The case‐control study was designed to investigate the genetic effects of interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ) rs2069727 and rs1861494 polymorphisms on ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Blood samples were collected from 108 AS patients and 110 healthy controls. IFN‐γ polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP). Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test was performed in control group. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using chi‐square test to evaluate the association between AS susceptibility and IFN‐γ polymorphisms, and the results were adjusted by logistic regressive analysis. The frequency of rs2069727 CC genotype was much higher in cases than that in controls, suggested its significant association with increased AS risk (adjusted OR = 5.899, 95% CI = 1.563‐22.261; P = .009). In addition, C allele also showed close association with increased risk of AS (adjusted OR = 2.052, 95% CI = 1.286‐1.704, P  = 0 .003). While the genotype and allele frequencies of IFN‐γ rs1861494 polymorphism were not significantly different between patients and controls (P  > 0.05 for all), IFN‐γ rs2069727 polymorphism is significantly associated with increased AS risk in a Chinese Han Population.  相似文献

Aberrant microRNA expression is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, such as proliferation and metastasis in multiple diseases including cancers. MicroRNA‐30e‐5p (miR‐30e) was previously reported as an oncogenic or tumour suppressing miRNA in some malignancies, but its function in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) remains largely undefined. In this study, we found that the expression of miR‐30e was increased in LAC tissues and cell lines, associated with tumour size and represented an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and recurrence of LAC patients. Further functional experiments showed that knockdown of miR‐30e suppressed cell growth while its overexpression promoted growth of LAC cells and xenografts in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, PTPN13 was identified as the direct target of miR‐30e in LAC, in which PTPN13 expression was down‐regulated in LAC tissues and showed the inverse correlation with miR‐30e expression. Overexpression of PTPN13 inhibited cell growth and rescued the proliferation‐promoting effect of miR‐30e through inhibition of the EGFR signalling. Altogether, our findings suggest that miR‐30e could function as an oncogene in LAC via targeting PTPN13 and act as a potential therapeutic target for treating LAC.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of miR‐17‐92 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The gene polymorphism was analysed using SNaPshot in 312 SLE patients and 396 controls. Relative expression of miR‐17‐92 was measured by quantitative real‐time PCR. Association was found between rs9515692 and a decreased risk of SLE (CT vs CC: OR = 0.65, 95%CI, 0.46‐0.92, P = .014; CT+TT vs CC: OR = 0.64, 95%CI, 0.46‐0.90, P = .009; T vs C: OR = 0.69, 95%CI, 0.52‐0.92, P = .010, respectively). Haplotype analysis showed that C‐G‐G, C‐A‐A haplotypes were associated with an increased SLE risk (OR=4.46, 95%CI, 2.17‐9.17, P < 0.001; OR=2.33, 95%CI, 1.44‐3.76, P < 0.001, respectively). T allele and CT+TT genotypes in rs9515692 were associated with decreased risk of anti‐dsDNA in SLE (CT+TT vs CC: OR = 0.42, 95%CI = 0.24‐0.72, P = .002; T vs A: OR = 0.49, 95%CI = 0.31‐0.79, P = .003). Moreover, rs9515692 CT+TT genotypes had a higher level of miR‐17 as compared to CC genotype (P = .017). These findings suggest that the rs9515692 CT+TT genotypes were a protective factor for the susceptibility of SLE, probably by increasing the expression of miR‐17.  相似文献

Attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents with high heritability. Evidence is accumulating that SLC1A3 may play a role in ADHD etiology. Therefore, a two‐stage case‐control study was conducted on 752 cases and 774 controls to explore the role of SLC1A3 in ADHD. Bioinformatic annotations and functional experiments were applied to reveal the potential biological mechanisms. Finally, SLC1A3 rs1049522 showed significant association with ADHD risk in two stages with CA genotype vs AA genotype, odds ratio (OR) = 0.694 (95% confidence interval, CI = 0.570‐0.844) and dominant model, OR = 0.749 (95% CI = 0.621‐0.904) in the combined stage. Besides, rs1049522 was found to be related to ADHD hyperactive/impulsive symptom, and rs1049522‐C showed increased SLC1A3 mRNA expression in the cerebellar cortex. Dual‐luciferase reporter assay further indicated that rs1049522‐C allele enhanced SLC1A3 expression by disrupting the hsa‐miR‐3171 binding site. In conclusion, SLC1A3 variant rs1049522 was implicated in ADHD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population probably by enhancing the SLC1A3 expression in a miRNA‐mediated manner.  相似文献

MicroRNAs are endogenous non-coding RNAs about 22 nucleotides in length that can repress the expression of proteins by binding to the 3′-untranslated regions of target messenger RNAs. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in miR-146a and miR-196a2 are associated with risk of ischemic stroke in the northern Chinese Han population. In a case–control study of 368 ischemic stroke patients and 381 control subjects that were frequency matched by age and gender, we genotyped two single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs11614913 in miR-196a2 and rs2910164 in miR-146a) using polymerase chain reaction-ligation detection reaction. The frequencies of the rs2910164 CC genotype and C allele within miR-146a were not significantly different in patients with ischemic stroke compared with those in the healthy control group. In subgroup meta-analysis, rs2910164 in miR-146a and large-artery atherosclerosis, rather than small-vessel disease, showed the significant association under the dominant model (CC vs CG+GG, OR 1.694; 95 % CI 1.199–2.395 p = 0.003). After adjusting for confounding risk factors of ischemic stroke by logistic regression analysis, this significant correlation remained. In addition, the distributions of the miR-196a2 genotypes and alleles were not statistically different between ischemic stroke and healthy groups. We also did not find any significant association from stroke subtypes. The CC genotype and C allele of rs2910164 within miR-146a are associated with an increased incidence of large-artery athersclerotic stroke in the northern Chinese Han population. This study indicates that miR-146a (rs2910164) might contribute to ischemic stroke susceptibility in the northern Chinese Han population.  相似文献

We tried to identify the function of LINC01614 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and reveal its underlying mechanisms. qRT‐PCR was applied to assess the expression of LINC016014 in LUAD tissues, noncancerous tissues and cells. Through colony formation assay, MTT assay and apoptosis analysis, we examined the variation of cell proliferation and apoptosis ability after silencing LINC01614. Moreover, the targeting interactions among LINC01614, miR‐217 and FOXP1 were validated via luciferase reporter assay, and then, we regulated the expression of miR‐217 and FOXP1 to ascertain their importance in cell proliferation and apoptosis. LINC01614 and FOXP1 were found to be up‐regulated in LUAD tumours and cells, whereas miR‐217 was down‐regulated. The experiment showed that target‐specific selectivity exists between LINC01614‐miR‐217 and miR‐217‐FOXP1 3′UTR. Furthermore, we disclosed that inhibition of LINC01614 could activate miR‐217, which subsequently restrained FOXP1. It was proved that LINC01614 promoted FOXP1 by inhibiting miR‐217, which ultimately stimulated the development of LUAD.  相似文献

Previous studies have implicated the attractive and promising role of miR‐590‐3p to restore the cardiac function following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the molecular mechanisms for how miR‐590‐3p involves in cardiac fibrosis remain largely unexplored. Using human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) as the cellular model, luciferase report assay, mutation, EdU assay and transwell migration assay were applied to investigate the biological effects of miR‐590‐3p on the proliferation, differentiation, migration and collagen synthesis of cardiac fibroblasts. We found that miR‐590‐3p significantly suppressed cell proliferation and migration of HCFs. The mRNA and protein expression levels of α‐SMA, Col1A1 and Col3A were significantly decreased by miR‐590‐3p. Moreover, miR‐590‐3p directly targeted at the 3’UTR of ZEB1 to repress the translation of ZEB1. Interfering with the expression of ZEB1 significantly decreased the cell proliferation, migration activity, mRNA and protein expressions of α‐SMA, Col1A1 and Col3A. Furthermore, the expressions of miR‐590‐3p and ZEB1 were identified in infarct area of MI model in pigs. Collectively, miR‐590‐3p suppresses the cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and collagen synthesis of cardiac fibroblasts by targeting ZEB1. These works will provide useful biological information for future studies on potential roles of miR‐590‐3p as the therapeutic target to recover cardiac function following MI.  相似文献

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM), characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, is a primary cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure. During heart contraction, the Z‐line is responsible for transmitting force between sarcomeres and is also a hot spot for muscle cell signalling. Mutations in Z‐line proteins have been linked to cardiomyopathies in both humans and mice. Actinin‐associated LIM protein (ALP) and enigma homolog protein (ENH), encoded by PDLIM3 and PDLIM5, are components of the muscle cytoskeleton and localize to the Z‐line. A PDLIM3 or PDLIM5 deficiency in mice leads to dilated cardiomyopathy. Since PDLIM3 and PDLIM5 are candidate IDCM susceptibility genes, the current study aims to investigate whether polymorphisms within PDLIM3 and PDLIM5 could be correlated with IDCM. We designed a case‐control study, and exons of the PDLIM3 and PDLIM5 were amplified by polymerase chain reactions in 111 IDCM patients and 137 healthy controls. We found that five synonymous polymorphisms had statistical distribution differences between IDCM patients and controls, including rs4861669, rs4862543, c.731 + 131 T > G, c.1789‐3 C > T and rs7690296, according to genotype and allele distribution. Haplotype G‐C‐C‐C and A‐T‐C‐T (rs2306705, rs10866276, rs12644280 and rs4635850 synthesized) were regarded as risk factors for IDCM patients when compared with carriers of other haplotypes (all P < .05). Furthermore, IDCM patients with two novel polymorphisms (c.731 + 131 T > G and c.1789‐3 C > T) had lower systolic blood pressure. In conclusion, these five synonymous polymorphisms might constitute a genetic background that increases the risk of the development of IDCM in the Chinese Han population.  相似文献

Our study sought to clarify the effects of microRNA‐139‐5p (miR‐139‐5p) in the tumorigenesis and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by regulating HOXA9. MiR‐139‐5p and HOXA9 expression in OSCC tissues, tumour adjacent tissues, OSCC cells and normal cells were tested by qRT‐PCR. SAS and CAL‐27 cell lines were selected in among four OSCC cell lines and then transfected with miR‐139‐5p mimics, pEGFP‐HOXA9 and cotransfected with miR‐139‐5p mimics + pEGFP‐HOXA9. We used MTT, colony formation, transwell and wound healing assays to analyse cell viability, proliferation, invasion and migration. The target relationship between miR‐139‐5p and HOXA9 was verified by luciferase reporter assay and Western blot, respectively. MiR‐139‐5p was down‐regulated, whereas HOXA9 was up‐regulated in OSCC tissues and cells. The proliferation, invasion and migration ability of SAS and CAL‐27 cells in miR‐139‐5p mimics group were significantly weaker than those in the control group and the miR‐NC group (< 0.01). MiR‐139‐5p can negatively regulate HOXA9. The proliferation, invasion and migration of SAS and CAL‐27 cells in the miR‐139‐5p mimics + pEGFP‐HOXA9 group were not significantly different from those in the blank control and negative control groups (> 0.05). Our results indicated that miR‐139‐5p could directly inhibit HOXA9, which might be a potential mechanism in inhibiting the proliferation, invasiveness and migration of OSCC cells.  相似文献

In this study, we investigated how miR‐10b‐3p regulated the proliferation, migration, invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at both in vitro and in vivo levels. CMTM5 was among the differentially expressed genes (data from TCGA). The expression of miR‐10b‐3p and CMTM5 was detected by qRT‐PCR and Western blot (WB). TargetScan was used to acquire the binding sites. Dual‐luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the direct target relationship between miR‐10b‐3p and CMTM5. WB analysis proved that miR‐10b‐3p suppressed CMTM5 expression. Furthermore, proliferation, invasion and migration of HCC cells were measured by MTT assay, colony formation assay, transwell assay and wound‐healing assay, respectively. Kaplan‐Meier plotter valued the overall survival of CMTM5. Finally, xenograft assay was also conducted to verify the effects of miR‐10b‐3p/CMTM5 axis in vivo. Up‐regulation of miR‐10b‐3p and down‐regulation of CMTM5 were detected in HCC tissues and cell lines. CMTM5 was verified as a target gene of miR‐10b‐3p. The overexpression of CMTM5 contributed to the suppression of the proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of HCC cells. Moreover, the up‐regulation of miR‐10b‐3p and down‐regulation of CMTM5 were observed to be associated with worse overall survival. Lastly, we have confirmed the carcinogenesis‐related roles of miR‐10b‐3p and CMTM5 in vivo. We concluded that the up‐regulation of miR‐10b‐3p promoted the progression of HCC cells via targeting CMTM5.  相似文献

Ethnic Han Chinese are at high risk of developing oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Aberrant activation of the AKT signalling pathway is involved in many cancers, including ESCC. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in this pathway may contribute to ESCC susceptibility. We selected five potentially functional SNPs in AKT1 (rs2494750, rs2494752 and rs10138277) and AKT2 (rs7254617 and rs2304186) genes and investigated their associations with ESCC risk in 1117 ESCC cases and 1096 controls in an Eastern Chinese population. None of individual SNPs exhibited an association with ESCC risk. However, the combined analysis of three AKT1 SNPs suggested that individuals carrying one of AKT1 variant genotypes had a decreased ESCC risk [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.42–0.87]. Further stratified analysis found that AKT1 rs2294750 SNP was associated with significantly decreased ESCC risk among women (adjusted OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.43–0.94) and non‐drinkers (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.64–0.99). Similar protective effects on women (adjusted OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.37–0.83) and non‐drinker (adjusted OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.60–0.94) were also observed for the combined genotypes of AKT1 SNPs. Consistently, logistic regression analysis indicated significant gene–gene interactions among three AKT1 SNPs (P < 0.015). A three‐AKT1 SNP haplotype (C‐A‐C) showed a significant association with a decreased ESCC risk (adjusted OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.52–0.94). Multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis confirmed a high‐order gene–environment interaction in ESCC risk. Overall, we found that three AKT1 SNPs might confer protection against ESCC risk; nevertheless, these effects may be dependent on other risk factors. Our results provided evidence of important gene–environment interplay in ESCC carcinogenesis.  相似文献

This study was designed to detecting the influences of lncRNA MEG3 in prostate cancer. Aberrant lncRNAs expression profiles of prostate cancer were screened by microarray analysis. The qRT‐PCR and Western blot were employed to investigating the expression levels of lncRNA MEG3, miR‐9‐5p and QKI‐5. The luciferase reporter assay was utilized to testifying the interactions relationship among these molecules. Applying CCK‐8 assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry in turn, the cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities as well as apoptosis were measured respectively. LncRNA MEG3 was a down‐regulated lncRNA in prostate cancer tissues and cells and could inhibit the expression of miR‐9‐5p, whereas miR‐9‐5p down‐regulated QKI‐5 expression. Overexpressed MEG3 and QKI‐5 could decrease the abilities of proliferation, migration and invasion in prostate cancer cells effectively and increased the apoptosis rate. On the contrary, miR‐9‐5p mimics presented an opposite tendency in prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, MEG3 inhibited tumour growth and up‐regulated expression of QKI‐5 in vivo. LncRNA MEG3 was a down‐regulated lncRNA in prostate cancer and impacted the abilities of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and cell apoptosis rate, this regulation relied on regulating miR‐9‐5p and its targeting gene QKI‐5.  相似文献
