Diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains the leading cause of blindness in adults with diabetes mellitus. Numerous microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified to modulate the pathogenesis of DR. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential roles of miR-455-5p in high glucose (HG)-treated retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and underlying mechanisms. Our present investigation discovered that the expression of miR-455-5p was apparently downregulated in ARPE-19 cells stimulated with HG. In addition, forced expression of miR-455-5p markedly enhanced cell viability and restrained HG-induced apoptosis accompanied by decreased BCL2-associated X protein (Bax)/B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) ratio and expression of apoptotic marker cleaved caspase-3 during HG challenged. Subsequently, augmentation of miR-455-5p remarkably alleviated HG-triggered oxidative stress injury as reflected by decreased the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content as well as NADPH oxidase 4 expression, concomitant with enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and GPX stimulated with HG. Furthermore, enforced expression of miR-455-5p effectively ameliorated HG-stimulated inflammatory response as exemplified by repressing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α in ARPE-19 cells challenged by HG. Most importantly, we successfully identified suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) as a direct target gene of miR-455-5p, and miR-455-5p negatively regulated the expression of SOCS3. Mechanistically, restoration of SOCS3 abrogated the beneficial effects of miR-455-5p on apoptosis, accumulation of ROS, and inflammatory factors production in response to HG. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that miR-455-5p relieved HG-induced damage through repressing apoptosis, oxidant stress, and inflammatory response by targeting SOCS3. The study gives evidence that miR-455-5p may serve as a new potential therapeutic agent for DR treatment. 相似文献

BackgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a primary cause of end‐stage renal disease. Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in DN pathogenesis. Trigonelline (TRL) has been shown to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, promote nerve regeneration, and exert anti-cancer and sedative properties.MethodThe effect of TRL on human mesangial cell (HMC) growth was assessed using the MTT assay. Differentially expressed miRNAs were validated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). Bioinformatics, cell transfection, and Western blot analyses were utilized to confirm the binding of miR-5189-5p to HIF1AN. The effects of miR-5189-5 expression on cell proliferation were also assessed. Western blot analysis was used to determine the activation of multiple signaling molecules including phosphorylated-(p)-AMPK, SIRT1, LC3B, p62, and Beclin-1 in the autophagy pathway.ResultsTRL improved proliferation, increased the expression of miR-5189-5p, reduced HIF1AN, and restored the inhibition of autophagy in HMCs induced by high glucose. MiR-5189-5p mimics inhibited HIF1AN expression, and the miR-5189-5p inhibitor increased HIF1AN expression. MiR-5189-5p mimics significantly improved the proliferation of HMCs induced by high glucose, reduced the relative protein expression of p-AMPK, SIRT1, LC3B, and Beclin-1, and significantly increased the relative protein expression of p62.ConclusionWe showed that TRL up-regulated miR-5189-5p expression, activated the AMPK pathway, and activated autophagy in HMCs. Our study demonstrates that TRL could be a new treatment strategy to protect mesangial cells in response to high glucose. 相似文献

Role of microRNA (miRNA) has been highlighted in pathogen-host interactions recently. At present, their role in active pulmonary tuberculosis is unknown. The aim of the study was to delineate miRNA expression in sputum supernatant of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Expression of miRNAs was evaluated by microarray analysis and differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by RT-qPCR. Secreted cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. We found that 95 miRNAs were differentially expressed between tuberculosis group and controls. More miRNAs (52 out of 95 miRNAs) were underexpressed than overexpressed during tuberculosis infection. Overexpression of miR-3179, miR-147 and underexpression of miR-19b-2* in TB group compared with controls were confirmed in the validation cohort. TNF-α and IL-6 levels were not significantly altered between TB group and controls. For the first time, differential expression of miRNAs in sputum was found in active pulmonary tuberculosis. The study provides rationale for identifying the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis and indicates potential for miRNA-based therapeutic strategies. 相似文献

Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-17 (IL-17) promote inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Although several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate autoimmune pathogenesis by affecting lymphocyte development and function, the role of miRNAs in resident cells present in inflammatory lesions remains unclear. Here we show that miR-23b is downregulated in inflammatory lesions of humans with lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, as well as in the mouse models of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis. IL-17 downregulates miR-23b expression in human fibroblast-like synoviocytes, mouse primary kidney cells and astrocytes and is essential for the downregulation of miR-23b during autoimmune pathogenesis. In turn, miR-23b suppresses IL-17-, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)- or IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation and inflammatory cytokine expression by targeting TGF-β-activated kinase 1/MAP3K7 binding protein 2 (TAB2), TAB3 and inhibitor of nuclear factor κ-B kinase subunit α (IKK-α) and, consequently, represses autoimmune inflammation. Thus, IL-17 contributes to autoimmune pathogenesis by suppressing miR-23b expression in radio-resident cells and promoting proinflammatory cytokine expression. 相似文献

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is characterized by a massive proinflammatory phenotype in the lung arising from profound expression of inflammatory genes, including interleukin-8 (IL-8). We have previously reported that IL-8 mRNA is stabilized in CF lung epithelial cells, resulting in concomitant hyperexpression of IL-8 protein. However, the mechanistic link between mutations in CFTR and acquisition of the proinflammatory phenotype in the CF airway has remained elusive. We hypothesized that specific microRNAs (miRNAs) might mediate this linkage. To identify the potential link, we screened an miRNA library for differential expression in ΔF508-CFTR and wild type CFTR lung epithelial cell lines. Of 22 differentially and significantly expressed miRNAs, we found that expression of miR-155 was more than 5-fold elevated in CF IB3-1 lung epithelial cells in culture, compared with control IB3-1/S9 cells. Clinically, miR-155 was also highly expressed in CF lung epithelial cells and circulating CF neutrophils biopsied from CF patients. We report here that high levels of miR-155 specifically reduced levels of SHIP1, thereby promoting PI3K/Akt activation. However, overexpressing SHIP1 or inhibition of PI3K in CF cells suppressed IL-8 expression. Finally, we found that phospho-Akt levels were elevated in CF lung epithelial cells and were specifically lowered by either antagomir-155 or elevated expression of SHIP1. We therefore suggest that elevated miR-155 contributes to the proinflammatory expression of IL-8 in CF lung epithelial cells by lowering SHIP1 expression and thereby activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. These data suggest that miR-155 may play an important role in the activation of IL-8-dependent inflammation in CF. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) has not been fully elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the onset and development of DN renal fibrosis. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-92d-3p on the progression of DN renal fibrosis. We used qRT-PCR to detect the expression levels of miR-92d-3p in the kidneys of patients with DN. Then, after transfecting lentiviruses containing miR-92d-3p into the kidneys of a DN mouse model and HK-2 cell line, we used qRT-PCR to detect the expression levels of miR-92d-3p, C3, HMGB1, TGF-β1, α-SMA, E-cadherin, and Col I. The expression levels of interleukin (IL) 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the HK-2 cells were detected through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blotting and immunofluorescence were used in detecting the expression levels of fibronectin, α-SMA, E-cadherin, and vimentin. Results showed that the expression levels of miR-92d-3p in the kidney tissues of patients with DN and DN animal model mice decreased, and C3 stimulated HK-2 cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. The C3/HMGB1/TGF-β1 pathway was activated, and epithelial-to-interstitial transition (EMT) was induced in the HK-2 cells after human recombinant C3 and TGF-β1 protein were added. miR-92d-3p inhibited inflammatory factor production by C3 in the HK-2 cells and the activation of the C3/HMGB1/TGF-β1 pathway and EMT by C3 and TGF-β1. miR-92d-3p suppressed the progression of DN renal fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of the C3/HMGB1/TGF-β1 pathway and EMT. 相似文献

The dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in diabetic retinopathy progression. Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell permeability are important events in diabetic retinopathy. However, the function and mechanism of miR-195 in EMT and cell permeability in diabetic retinopathy remain largely unclear. Diabetic retinopathy models were established using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and high glucose (HG)-stimulated ARPE-19 cells. Retina injury was investigated by hematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining. EMT and cell permeability were analyzed by western blotting, immunofluorescence, wound healing, and FITC-dextran assays. MiR-195 expression was detected via qRT-PCR. YY1, VEGFA, Snail1, and Smurf2 levels were detected via western blotting. The interaction relationship was analyzed via ChIP, Co-IP, or dual-luciferase reporter assay. The retina injury, EMT, and cell permeability were induced in STZ-induced diabetic mice. HG induced EMT and cell permeability in ARPE-19 cells. MiR-195, YY1, VEGFA, and Snail1 levels were enhanced, but Smurf2 abundance was reduced in STZ-induced diabetic mice and HG-stimulated ARPE-19 cells. VEGFA knockdown decreased Snail1 expression and attenuated HG-induced EMT and cell permeability. YY1 silence reduced VEGFA and Snail1 expression, and mitigated HG-induced EMT and cell permeability. YY1 could bind with VEGFA and Snail1, and it was degraded via Smurf2-mediated ubiquitination. MiR-195 knockdown upregulated Smurf2 to decrease YY1 expression and inhibited HG-induced EMT and cell permeability. MiR-195 targeted Smurf2, increased expression of YY1, VEGFA, and Snail1, and promoted HG-induced EMT and cell permeability. MiR-195 promotes EMT and cell permeability of HG-stimulated ARPE-19 cells by increasing VEGFA/Snail1 via inhibiting the Smurf2-mediated ubiquitination of YY1.Subject terms: Mechanisms of disease, Diabetes 相似文献

Aberrant regulation in mesangial cell proliferation, extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation under hyperglycemic condition contributes significantly to the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the mechanisms underlying the hyperglycemia-induced dysregulations have not been clearly elucidated. Here, we reported that high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was highly elevated in high glucose (HG)-treated mesangial cells, and induced the phosphorylation, nuclear translocation, and DNA binding activity of NF-κB via toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Function assays showed that inhibition of HMGB1 mitigated HG-induced proliferation, oxidative stress, ECM accumulation, and inflammation in mesangial cells via TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Increasing evidence has shown that circRNA, a large class of noncoding RNAs, functions by binding with miRNAs and terminating regulation of their target genes. We further investigated whether HMGB1 is involved in circRNA–miRNA–mRNA regulatory network. First, HMGB1 was identified and confirmed to be the target of miR-205, and miR-205 played a protective role against HG-induced cell injure via targeting HMGB1. Then circLRP6 was found to be upregulated in HG-treated mesangial cells, and regulate HG-induced mesangial cell injure via sponging miR-205. Besides, overexpression of miR-205 or knockdown of circLRP6 inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway. Collectively, these data suggest that circLRP6 regulates HG-induced proliferation, oxidative stress, ECM accumulation, and inflammation in mesangial cells via sponging miR-205, upregulating HMGB1 and activating TLR4/NF-κB pathway. These findings provide a better understanding for the pathogenesis of DN. 相似文献

Podocyte injury is associated with albuminuria and the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) is the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the kidney and NOX4 is up-regulated in podocytes in response to high glucose. In the present study, the effects of Salvianolate on DN and its underlying mechanisms were investigated in diabetic db/db mice and human podocytes. We confirmed that the Salvianolate administration exhibited similar beneficial effects as the NOX1/NOX4 inhibitor GKT137831 treated diabetic mice, as reflected by attenuated albuminuria, reduced podocyte loss and mesangial matrix accumulation. We further observed that Salvianolate attenuated the increase of Nox4 protein, NOX4-based NADPH oxidase activity and restored podocyte loss in the diabetic kidney. In human podocytes, NOX4 was predominantly localized to mitochondria and Sal B treatment blocked HG-induced mitochondrial NOX4 derived superoxide generation and thereby ameliorating podocyte apoptosis, which can be abrogated by AMPK knockdown. Therefore, our results suggest that Sal B possesses the reno-protective capabilities in part through AMPK-mediated control of NOX4 expression. Taken together, our results identify that Salvianolate could prevent glucose-induced oxidative podocyte injury through modulation of NOX4 activity in DN and have a novel therapeutic potential for DN. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, hyperglycaemia induces damage to renal tubular epithelial cells, which may lead to EMT in diabetic nephropathy. However, the effects of miRNAs on EMT in diabetic nephropathy are poorly understood. In the present study, we found that the level of microRNA-23b (miR-23b) was significantly decreased in high glucose (HG)-induced human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK2) and in kidney tissues of db/db mice. Overexpression of miR-23b attenuated HG-induced EMT, whereas knockdown of miR-23b induced normal glucose (NG)-mediated EMT in HK2 cells. Mechanistically, miR-23b suppressed EMT in diabetic nephropathy by targeting high mobility group A2 (HMGA2), thereby repressing PI3K-AKT signalling pathway activation. Additionally, HMGA2 knockdown or inhibition of the PI3K-AKT signalling pathway with LY294002 mimicked the effects of miR-23b overexpression on HG-mediated EMT, whereas HMGA2 overexpression or activation of the PI3K-AKT signalling pathway with BpV prevented the effects of miR-23b on HG-mediated EMT. We also confirmed that overexpression of miR-23b alleviated EMT, decreased the expression levels of EMT-related genes, ameliorated renal morphology, glycogen accumulation, fibrotic responses and improved renal functions in db/db mice. Taken together, we showed for the first time that miR-23b acts as a suppressor of EMT in diabetic nephropathy through repressing PI3K-AKT signalling pathway activation by targeting HMGA2, which maybe a potential therapeutic target for diabetes-induced renal dysfunction. 相似文献

Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) expression has been demonstrated in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). In this study, we aimed to determine the differential miRNAs expression in GISTs and explore the functional mechanism of differential miRNAs in GIST cells. We measured differential miRNAs in six pairs of GIST tissues and matched adjacent tissues through a high-throughput sequencing, which was confirmed in 64 pairs of GIST tissues and adjacent tissues by real-time polymerase chain reaction. We found that miR-4510 expression was significantly downregulated in GIST tissues compared to matched control tissues. Luciferase reporter assay identified apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) as a direct target of miR-4510. Overexpression of miR-4510 inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of APOC2. In addition, overexpression of miR-4510 suppressed GIST cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Overexpression of miR-4510 also inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2, reduced the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9. APOC2 knockdown mimicked the effect of miR-4510 overexpression. Further investigation confirmed that APOC2 was notably upregulated in GIST tissues compared to adjacent control tissues. These results suggested that miR-4510 downregulation could promote GIST progression, including growth, invasion, and metastasis, through increasing APOC2 expression. 相似文献
