MiRNAs are fine‐tuning modifiers of skeletal muscle regulation, but knowledge of their hormonal control is lacking. We used a co‐twin case–control study design, that is, monozygotic postmenopausal twin pairs discordant for estrogen‐based hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to explore estrogen‐dependent skeletal muscle regulation via miRNAs. MiRNA profiles were determined from vastus lateralis muscle of nine healthy 54–62‐years‐old monozygotic female twin pairs discordant for HRT (median 7 years). MCF‐7 cells, human myoblast cultures and mouse muscle experiments were used to confirm estrogen's causal role on the expression of specific miRNAs, their target mRNAs and proteins and finally the activation of related signaling pathway. Of the 230 miRNAs expressed at detectable levels in muscle samples, qPCR confirmed significantly lower miR‐182, miR‐223 and miR‐142‐3p expressions in HRT using than in their nonusing co‐twins. Insulin/IGF‐1 signaling emerged one common pathway targeted by these miRNAs. IGF‐1R and FOXO3A mRNA and protein were more abundantly expressed in muscle samples of HRT users than nonusers. In vitro assays confirmed effective targeting of miR‐182 and miR‐223 on IGF‐1R and FOXO3A mRNA as well as a dose‐dependent miR‐182 and miR‐223 down‐regulations concomitantly with up‐regulation of FOXO3A and IGF‐1R expression. Novel finding is the postmenopausal HRT‐reduced miRs‐182, miR‐223 and miR‐142‐3p expression in female skeletal muscle. The observed miRNA‐mediated enhancement of the target genes' IGF‐1R and FOXO3A expression as well as the activation of insulin/IGF‐1 pathway signaling via phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR is an important mechanism for positive estrogen impact on skeletal muscle of postmenopausal women. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the resistance of plants to infection by pathogens via interactions with microRNAs (miRNAs). Long non‐coding RNAs are cleaved by miRNAs to produce phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs), which, as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), function as decoys for mature miRNAs, thus inhibiting their expression, and contain pre‐miRNA sequences to produce mature miRNAs. However, whether lncRNAs and miRNAs mediate other molecular mechanisms during plant resistance to pathogens is unknown. In this study, as a positive regulator, Sl‐lncRNA15492 from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Zaofen No. 2) plants affected tomato resistance to Phytophthora infestans. Gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments and RNA ligase‐mediated 5′‐amplification of cDNA ends (RLM‐5′ RACE) also revealed that Sl‐miR482a was negatively involved in tomato resistance by targeting Sl‐NBS‐LRR genes and that silencing of Sl‐NBS‐LRR1 decreased tomato resistance. Sl‐lncRNA15492 inhibited the expression of mature Sl‐miR482a, whose precursor was located within the antisense sequence of Sl‐lncRNA15492. Further degradome analysis and additional RLM‐5′ RACE experiments verified that mature Sl‐miR482a could also cleave Sl‐lncRNA15492. These results provide a mechanism by which lncRNAs might inhibit precursor miRNA expression through antisense strands of lncRNAs, and demonstrate that Sl‐lncRNA15492 and Sl‐miR482a mutually inhibit the maintenance of Sl‐NBS‐LRR1 homeostasis during tomato resistance to P. infestans. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non‐coding RNAs that regulate translation of mRNA into protein and play a crucial role for almost all biological activities. However, the identification of miRNAs from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), especially from dental pulp, is poorly understood. In this study, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were characterized in terms of their proliferation and differentiation capacity. Furthermore, 104 known mature miRNAs were profiled by using real‐time PCR. Notably, we observed 19 up‐regulated miRNAs and 29 significantly down‐regulated miRNAs in DPSCs in comparison with bone marrow MSCs (BM‐MSCs). The 19 up‐regulated miRNAs were subjected to ingenuity analysis, which were composed into 25 functional networks. We have chosen top 2 functional networks, which comprised 10 miRNA (hsa‐miR‐516a‐3p, hsa‐miR‐125b‐1‐3p, hsa‐miR‐221‐5p, hsa‐miR‐7, hsa‐miR‐584‐5p, hsa‐miR‐190a, hsa‐miR‐106a‐5p, hsa‐mir‐376a‐5p, hsa‐mir‐377‐5p and hsa‐let‐7f‐2‐3p). Prediction of target mRNAs and associated biological pathways regulated by each of this miRNA was carried out. We paid special attention to hsa‐miR‐516a‐3p and hsa‐miR‐7‐5p as these miRNAs were highly expressed upon validation with qRT‐PCR analysis. We further proceeded with loss‐of‐function analysis with these miRNAs and we observed that hsa‐miR‐516a‐3p knockdown induced a significant increase in the expression of WNT5A. Likewise, the knockdown of hsa‐miR‐7‐5p increased the expression of EGFR. Nevertheless, further validation revealed the role of WNT5A as an indirect target of hsa‐miR‐516a‐3p. These results provide new insights into the dynamic role of miRNA expression in DPSCs. In conclusion, using miRNA signatures in human as a prediction tool will enable us to elucidate the biological processes occurring in DPSCs. 相似文献

The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in melanoma is unclear. We examined global miRNA expression profiles in fresh‐frozen metastatic melanomas in relation to clinical outcome and BRAF mutation, with validation in independent cohorts of tumours and sera. We integrated miRNA and mRNA information from the same samples and elucidated networks associated with outcome and mutation. Associations with prognosis were replicated for miR‐150‐5p, miR‐142‐3p and miR‐142‐5p. Co‐analysis of miRNA and mRNA uncovered a network associated with poor prognosis (PP) that paradoxically favoured expression of miRNAs opposing tumorigenesis. These miRNAs are likely part of an autoregulatory response to oncogenic drivers, rather than drivers themselves. Robust association of miR‐150‐5p and the miR‐142 duplex with good prognosis and earlier stage metastatic melanoma supports their potential as biomarkers. miRNAs overexpressed in association with PP in an autoregulatory fashion will not be suitable therapeutic targets. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) belong to a family of small non‐coding RNAs (sncRNAs) playing important roles in human carcinogenesis. Multiple investigations reported miRNAs aberrantly expressed in several cancers, including high‐grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGS‐OvCa). Quantitative PCR is widely used in studies investigating miRNA expression and the identification of reliable endogenous controls is crucial for proper data normalization. In this study, we aimed to experimentally identify the most stable reference sncRNAs for normalization of miRNA qPCR expression data in HGS‐OvCa. Eleven putative reference sncRNAs for normalization (U6, SNORD48, miR‐92a‐3p, let‐7a‐5p, SNORD61, SNORD72, SNORD68, miR‐103a‐3p, miR‐423‐3p, miR‐191‐5p, miR‐16‐5p) were analysed on a total of 75 HGS‐OvCa and 30 normal tissues, using a highly specific qPCR. Both the normal tissues considered to initiate HGS‐OvCa malignant transformation, namely ovary and fallopian tube epithelia, were included in our study. Stability of candidate endogenous controls was evaluated using an equivalence test and validated by geNorm and NormFinder algorithms. Combining results from the three different statistical approaches, SNORD48 emerged as stably and equivalently expressed between malignant and normal tissues. Among malignant samples, considering groups based on residual tumour, miR‐191‐5p was identified as the most equivalent sncRNA. On the basis of our results, we support the use of SNORD48 as best reference sncRNA for relative quantification in miRNA expression studies between HGS‐OvCa and normal controls, including the first time both the normal tissues supposed to be HGS‐OvCa progenitors. In addition, we recommend miR‐191‐5p as best reference sncRNA in miRNA expression studies with prognostic intent on HGS‐OvCa tissues. 相似文献

Increasing studies have confirmed that abnormally expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) take part in the carcinogenesis as well as the aggravation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little information is currently available about miR‐1914 in HCC. Here, we first confirmed that miR‐1914 inhibition in HCC cell lines and tumour specimens correlates with tumour size and histological grade. In a series of functional experiments, miR‐1914 inhibited tumour proliferation and colony formation, resulting in cell cycle arrest and increased apoptosis. Moreover, miR‐1914 mediated its functional effects by directly targeting GPR39 in HCC cells, leading to PI3K/AKT/mTOR repression. Restoring GPR39 expression incompletely counteracted the physiological roles of miR‐1914 in HCC cells. In addition, down‐regulation of AKT phosphorylation inhibited the effects of miR‐1914 in HCC. Furthermore, the overexpression of lncRNA DUXAP10 negatively correlated with the expression of miR‐1914 in HCC; thus, lncRNA DUXAP10 regulated miR‐1914 expression and modulated the GPR39/PI3K/AKT‐mediated cellular behaviours. In summary, the present study demonstrated for the first time that lncRNA DUXAP10–regulated miR‐1914 plays a functional role in inhibiting HCC progression by targeting GPR39‐mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, and this miRNA represents a novel therapeutic target for patients with HCC. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression with emerging data suggesting miRNAs play a role in skeletal muscle biology. We sought to examine the association of miRNAs with grip strength in a community‐based sample. Framingham Heart Study Offspring and Generation 3 participants (n = 5668 54% women, mean age 55 years, range 24, 90 years) underwent grip strength measurement and miRNA profiling using whole blood from fasting morning samples. Linear mixed‐effects regression modeling of grip strength (kg) versus continuous miRNA ‘Cq’ values and versus binary miRNA expression was performed. We conducted an integrative miRNA–mRNA coexpression analysis and examined the enrichment of biologic pathways for the top miRNAs associated with grip strength. Grip strength was lower in women than in men and declined with age with a mean 44.7 (10.0) kg in men and 26.5 (6.3) kg in women. Among 299 miRNAs interrogated for association with grip strength, 93 (31%) had FDR q value < 0.05, 54 (18%) had an FDR q value < 0.01, and 15 (5%) had FDR q value < 0.001. For almost all miRNA–grip strength associations, increasing miRNA concentration is associated with increasing grip strength. miR‐20a‐5p (FDR q 1.8 × 10?6) had the most significant association and several among the top 15 miRNAs had links to skeletal muscle including miR‐126‐3p, miR‐30a‐5p, and miR‐30d‐5p. The top associated biologic pathways included metabolism, chemokine signaling, and ubiquitin‐mediated proteolysis. Our comprehensive assessment in a community‐based sample of miRNAs in blood associated with grip strength provides a framework to further our understanding of the biology of muscle strength. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) deleted in lymphocytic leukaemia 1 (DLEU1) was reported to be involved in the occurrence and development of multiple cancers. However, the exact expression, biological function and underlying mechanism of DLEU1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. In this study, real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) in HCC tissues and cell lines revealed that DLEU1 expression was up‐regulated, and the increased DLEU1 was closely associated with advanced tumour‐node‐metastasis stage, vascular metastasis and poor overall survival. Function experiments showed that knockdown of DLEU1 significantly inhibited HCC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, and suppressed epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process via increasing the expression of E‐cadherin and decreasing the expression of N‐cadherin and Vimentin. Luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay demonstrated that DLEU1 could sponge miR‐133a. Moreover, miR‐133a inhibition significantly reversed the suppression effects of DLEU1 knockdown on HCC cells. Besides, we found that silenced DLEU1 significantly decreased insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF‐1R) expression (a target of miR‐133a) and its downstream signal PI3K/AKT pathway in HCC cells, while miR‐133a inhibitor partially reversed this trend. Furthermore, DLEU1 knockdown impaired tumour growth in vivo by regulating miR‐133a/IGF‐1R axis. Collectively, these findings indicate that DLEU1 promoted HCC progression by sponging miR‐133a to regulate IGF‐1R expression. Deleted in lymphocytic leukaemia 1/miR‐133a/IGF‐1R axis may be a novel target for treatment of HCC. 相似文献

N‐cadherin‐mediated adhesion is essential for maintaining the tissue architecture and stem cell niche in the developing neocortex. N‐cadherin expression level is precisely and dynamically controlled throughout development; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of protein expression and subcellular localisation. In this study, we show that three miRNAs belonging to the miR379–410 cluster regulate N‐cadherin expression levels in neural stem cells and migrating neurons. The overexpression of these three miRNAs in radial glial cells repressed N‐cadherin expression and increased neural stem cell differentiation and neuronal migration. This phenotype was rescued when N‐cadherin was expressed from a miRNA‐insensitive construct. Transient abrogation of the miRNAs reduced stem cell differentiation and increased cell proliferation. The overexpression of these miRNAs specifically in newborn neurons delayed migration into the cortical plate, whereas the knockdown increased migration. Collectively, our results indicate a novel role for miRNAs of the miR379–410 cluster in the fine‐tuning of N‐cadherin expression level and in the regulation of neurogenesis and neuronal migration in the developing neocortex. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in global gene regulation. Researchers in recombinant protein production have proposed miRNAs as biomarkers and cell engineering targets. However, miRNA expression remains understudied in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, one of the most commonly used host cell systems for therapeutic protein production. To profile highly conserved miRNA expression, we used the miRCURY? miRNA array for screening miRNAs in CHO cells. The selection criteria for further miRNA profiling included positive hybridization signals and experimentally validated predicted regulatory targets. On the basis of screening, we selected 16 miRNAs for quantitative RT‐PCR profiling. We profiled miR expression in parental CHO DG44 and CHO K1 cell lines as well as four recombinant DG44‐derived CHO lines producing a recombinant human IgG. We observed that miR‐221 and miR‐222 were significantly downregulated in all IgG‐producing cell lines when compared with parental DG44, whereas miR‐125b was significantly downregulated in one IgG‐producing line. In another IgG‐producing line, miR‐19a was significantly upregulated. miRNA expression was also profiled in two of these lines that were amplified by stepwise increase of methotrexate. In both amplified cell lines, let‐7b and miR‐221 were significantly downregulated. In parental CHO K1, let‐7b, miR‐15b, and miR‐17 were significantly downregulated when compared with DG44. The results reported here are the first steps toward profiling highly conserved miRNAs and studying the clonal difference in miRNA expression in CHO cells and may shed light on using miRNAs in cell engineering. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Peripheral induction of regulatory T (Treg) cells provides essential protection from inappropriate immune responses. CD4+ T cells that lack endogenous miRNAs are impaired to differentiate into Treg cells, but the relevant miRNAs are unknown. We performed an overexpression screen with T‐cell‐expressed miRNAs in naive mouse CD4+ T cells undergoing Treg differentiation. Among 130 candidates, the screen identified 29 miRNAs with a negative and 10 miRNAs with a positive effect. Testing reciprocal Th17 differentiation revealed specific functions for miR‐100, miR‐99a and miR‐10b, since all of these promoted the Treg and inhibited the Th17 program without impacting on viability, proliferation and activation. miR‐99a cooperated with miR‐150 to repress the expression of the Th17‐promoting factor mTOR. The comparably low expression of miR‐99a was strongly increased by the Treg cell inducer “retinoic acid”, and the abundantly expressed miR‐150 could only repress Mtor in the presence of miR‐99a. Our data suggest that induction of Treg cell differentiation is regulated by a miRNA network, which involves cooperation of constitutively expressed as well as inducible miRNAs. 相似文献

Domestic animals show considerable genetic diversity. Previous studies suggested that animal phenotypes were affected by miRNA–mRNA interplay, but these studies focused mainly on the analysis of one or several miRNA–mRNA interactions. However, in this study, we investigated miRNA–mRNA and miRNA–lncRNA interactions on a genomic scale using miranda and targetscan algorithms. There has been strong directional artificial selection practiced during the domestication of animals. Thus, we investigated SNPs that were located in miRNAs and miRNA binding sites and found that several SNPs located in 3′‐UTRs of mRNAs had the potential to affect miRNA–mRNA interactions. In addition, a database, named miRBond, was developed to provide visualization, analysis and downloading of the resulting datasets. Our results open the way to further experimental verification of miRNA–mRNA and miRNA–lncRNA interactions as well as the influence of SNPs upon such interplay. 相似文献

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are linked to metastasis. Moreover, a discrete group of miRNAs (metastamiRs) has been shown to promote metastasis. Accordingly, we propose that miRNAs that function as metastatic promoters may influence the CSC phenotype. To study this issue, we compared the expression of 353 miRNAs in CSCs enriched from breast cancer cell lines using qRT–PCR analysis. One of the most altered miRNAs was miR‐10b, which is a reported promoter of metastasis and migration. Stable overexpression of miR‐10b in MCF‐7 cells (miR‐10b‐OE cells) promoted higher self‐renewal and expression of stemness and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. In agreement with these results, inhibiting miR‐10b expression using synthetic antisense RNAs resulted in a decrease in CSCs self‐renewal. Bioinformatics analyses identified several potential miR‐10b mRNA targets, including phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), a key regulator of the PI3K/AKT pathway involved in metastasis, cell survival, and self‐renewal. The targeting of PTEN by miR‐10b was confirmed using a luciferase reporter, qRT–PCR, and Western blot analyses. Lower PTEN levels were observed in CSCs, and miR‐10b depletion not only increased PTEN mRNA and protein expression but also decreased the activity of AKT, a downstream PTEN target kinase. Correspondingly, PTEN knockdown increased stem cell markers, whereas AKT inhibitors compromised the self‐renewal ability of CSCs and breast cancer cell lines overexpressing miR‐10b. In conclusion, miR‐10b regulates the self‐renewal of the breast CSC phenotype by inhibiting PTEN and maintaining AKT pathway activation. 相似文献
