The study was aimed to screen out miRNAs with differential expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to explore the influence of the expressions of these miRNAs and their target gene on HCC cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis. MiRNAs with differential expression in HCC were screened out by microarray analysis. The common target gene of these miRNAs (miR‐139‐5p, miR‐940 and miR‐193a‐5p) was screened out by analysing the target genes profile (acquired from Targetscan) of the three miRNAs. Expression levels of miRNAs and SPOCK1 were determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). The target relationships were verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull‐down assay. Through 3‐(4,5‐dimethyl‐2‐thiazolyl)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐2‐H‐tetrazolium bromide,thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and transwell assays and flow cytometry, HCC cell viability, invasion and apoptosis were determined. In vivo experiment was conducted in nude mice to investigate the influence of three miRNAs on tumour growth. Down‐regulation of miR‐139‐5p, miR‐940 and miR‐193a‐5p was found in HCC. Overexpression of these miRNAs suppressed HCC cell viability and invasion, promoted apoptosis and inhibited tumour growth. SPOCK1, the common target gene of miR‐139‐5p, miR‐940 and miR‐193a‐5p, was overexpressed in HCC. SPOCK1 overexpression promoted proliferation and invasion, and restrained apoptosis of HCC cells. MiR‐139‐5p, miR‐940 and miR‐193a‐5p inhibited HCC development through targeting SPOCK1. 相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Our study aimed to provide a deep understanding of IgAN and focused on the dysregulation of hsa‐miR‐590‐3p and its target gene HMGB2 in PBMCs. Three gene expression profile datasets (GSE14795, GSE73953 and GSE25590) were downloaded from the GEO database. The DEGs (differentially expressed genes)‐miRNA network that was associated with IgAN was constructed by Cytoscape, and HMGB2 and hsa‐miR‐590‐3p were selected for further exploration. The dual‐luciferase reporter system was utilized to verify their interaction. Then, the expression levels of HMGB2 and hsa‐miR‐590‐3p in PBMCs were detected by qPCR in another cohort, and the correlation of their expression levels with the clinical pathological manifestations and serum Gd‐IgA1(galactose‐deficient IgA1) levels was also investigated. HMGB2 was identified as the target gene of hsa‐miR‐590‐3p. Furtherly, the elderly patients had higher HMGB2 expression levels than the expression levels of the younger patients. As the serum creatinine, serum BUN levels increased, the expression of HMGB2 decreased; Besides, the HMGB2 expression was positively correlated with serum complement 3(C3) levels, and it also had a negative correlation with the diastolic blood pressure, but not reach statistical significance. What is more, both hsa‐miR‐590‐3p and HMGB2 expression had a slight correlation tendency with serum Gd‐IgA1 levels in the whole population. In conclusion, HMGB2, the target gene of hsa‐miR‐590‐3p, was identified to correlate with the severity of IgAN, and this provides more clues for the pathogenesis of IgAN. 相似文献

Cardiac fibrosis is a fundamental constituent of a variety of cardiac dysfunction, making it a leading cause of death worldwide. However, no effective treatment for cardiac fibrosis is available. Therefore, novel therapeutics for cardiac fibrosis are highly needed. Recently, miR‐19b has been found to be able to protect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‐induced apoptosis and improve cell survival in H9C2 cardiomyocytes, while down‐regulation of miR‐19b had opposite effects, indicating that increasing miR‐19b may be a new therapeutic strategy for attenuating cellular apoptosis during myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion injury. However, considering the fact that microRNAs might exert a cell‐specific role, it is highly interesting to determine the role of miR‐19b in cardiac fibroblasts. Here, we found that miR‐19b was able to promote cardiac fibroblast proliferation and migration. However, miR‐19b mimics and inhibitors did not modulate the expression level of collagen I. Pten was identified as a target gene of miR‐19b, which was responsible for the effect of miR‐19b in controlling cardiac fibroblast proliferation and migration. Our data suggest that the role of miR‐19b is cell specific, and systemic miR‐19b targeting in cardiac remodelling might be problematic. Therefore, it is highly needed and also urgent to investigate the role of miR‐19b in cardiac remodelling in vivo. 相似文献

Objectives
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) as small non‐coding RNA molecules act by negatively regulating their target genes. Recent studies have shown that protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+‐dependent 1F (PPM1F) plays a critical role in cancer metastasis. But, the regulation mechanisms of PPM1F by miRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) remain undefined.Methods
The correlation of PPM1F or miR‐590‐3p (miR‐590) expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with GC was analysed by TCGA RNA‐sequencing data. The miRNAs that target PPM1F gene were identified by bioinformatics and Spearman correlation analysis, and the binding site between miR‐590 and PPM1F 3′UTR was confirmed by dual luciferase assay. MTT and Transwell assays were conducted to evaluate the effects of miR‐590 or (and) PPM1F on cell proliferation and invasion.Results
We found that PPM1F expression was downregulated in GC tissues and cell lines and was correlated with tumour recurrence in patients with GC. The decreased expression of PPM1F was attributed to the dysregulation of miR‐590 expression rather than its genetic or epigenetic alterations. Overexpression of miR‐590 promoted cell proliferation and invasion capability of GC cells, while knockdown of miR‐590 reversed these effects. Moreover, PPM1F was validated as a direct target of miR‐590 and counteracted the tumour‐promoting effects caused by miR‐590. The expression of miR‐590 presented the negative correlation with PPM1F expression and acted as an independent prognostic factor for tumour recurrence in patients with GC.Conclusion
PPM1F may function as a suppressive factor and is negatively regulated by miR‐590 in GC.7.

This study purposed to explore the correlation between miR‐129‐5p and TGIF2 and their impacts on glioma cell progression. Differentially expressed miRNA was screened through microarray analysis. MiR‐129‐5p expression levels in glioma tissues and cells were measured by qRT‐PCR. CCK‐8 assay, flow cytometer, transwell assay and wound‐healing assay were employed to detect cell proliferation, apoptosis and cycle, invasiveness and migration, respectively. Dual‐luciferase reporting assay was performed to confirm the targeted relationship between miR‐129‐5p and TGIF2. The effects of TGIF2 expression on cell biological functions were also investigated using the indicated methods. Tumour xenograft was applied to explore the impact of miR‐129‐5p on tumorigenesis in vivo. MiR‐129‐5p expression was down‐regulated in both glioma tissues and glioma cells, while TGIF2 expression was aberrantly higher than normal level. Dual‐luciferase reporter assay validated the targeting relation between miR‐129‐5p and TGIF2. Overexpression of miR‐129‐5p or down‐regulation of TGIF2 inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration capacity of glioma cells U87 and U251, and meanwhile blocked the cell cycle as well as induced cell apoptosis. MiR‐129‐5p overexpression repressed the tumour development in vivo. MiR‐129‐5p and TGIF2 had opposite biological functions in glioma cells. MiR‐129‐5p could inhibit glioma cell progression by targeting TGIF2, shining light for the development of target treatment for glioma. 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 (P < 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 (P > 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

Our goal was to explore the function of miR‐552 and its potential target AJAP1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis and progression. In this study, bioinformatics analysis was performed to detect abnormally expressed miRNAs. The relationship between miR‐552 and AJAP1 was validated using luciferase reporter assays. RT‐qPCR and Western blot assays were applied to explore the expression level of miR‐552, AJAP1 and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. HCC cell proliferation was examined using CCK8 assays, while migration and invasion were investigated using Transwell assays. Nude mouse tumourigenesis models were established to facilitate observation of HCC progression in vivo. Finally, prognostic analysis was performed to discover how the prognosis of HCC patients correlated with miR‐552 and AJAP1 expression. MiR‐552 overexpression in HCC cells promoted HCC cell migration, invasion and EMT by targeting/suppressing AJAP1. Poorer prognosis appeared in HCC patients with higher miR‐552 expression or lower AJAP1 levels. Our findings suggested that miR‐552 promotes HCC oncogenesis and progression by inhibiting AJAP1 expression. 相似文献

Myocardial fibrosis after myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of heart diseases. MI activates cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and promotes CF to myofibroblast transformation (CMT). This study aimed to investigate the role of miR‐21 in the regulation of CMT and myocardial fibrosis. Primary rat CFs were isolated from young SD rats and treated with TGF‐β1, miR‐21 sponge or Jagged1 siRNA. Cell proliferation, invasion and adhesion were detected. MI model was established in male SD rats using LAD ligation method and infected with recombinant adenovirus. The heart function and morphology was evaluated by ultrasonic and histological analysis. We found that TGF‐β1 induced the up‐regulation of miR‐21 and down‐regulation of Jagged1 in rat CFs. Luciferase assay showed that miR‐21 targeted 3′‐UTR of Jagged1 in rat CFs. miR‐21 sponge inhibited the transformation of rat CFs into myofibroblasts, and abolished the inhibition of Jagged1 mRNA and protein expression by TGF‐β1. Furthermore, these effects of miR‐21 sponge on rat CFS were reversed by siRNA mediated knockdown of Jagged1. In vivo, heart dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis in MI model rats were partly improved by miR‐21 sponge but were aggravated by Jagged1 knockdown. Taken together, these results suggest that miR‐21 promotes cardiac fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast transformation and myocardial fibrosis by targeting Jagged1. miR‐21 and Jagged1 are potential therapeutic targets for myocardial fibrosis. 相似文献

The prognosis of glioma is generally poor and is the cause of primary malignancy in the brain. The role of microRNAs has been implicated in tumour inhibition or activation. In several cancers, the Six1 signalling pathway has been found to be aberrant and also relates to the formation of tumours. We analysed the database for expression profiles and clinical specimens of various grades of glioma to assess microRNA‐155‐3p (miR‐155‐3p) expression. The role of miR‐155‐3p in glioblastoma, cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis and resistance to temozolomide was assessed in vitro through flow cytometry and cell proliferation assays. Bioinformatics analyses, and assays using luciferase reporter, and immunoblotting revealed that miR‐155‐3p targets Six1 and that the relationship between glioma and healthy brain tissues was significantly inverse. In rescue experiments, overexpressed Six1 revoked the changes in cell cycle distribution, proliferation and resistance to temozolomide estimated by apoptosis induced by overexpressed miR‐155‐3p. MiR‐155‐3p inhibition reduced glioma cell growth and proliferation in the brain of a mouse model and increased the survival of mice with gliomas. Thus, miR‐155‐3p modulates Six1 expression and facilitates the progression of glioblastoma and resistance to temozolomide and may act as a novel diagnostic biomarker and a target for glioma treatment. 相似文献
