AbstractIntervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) refers to the abnormal response of cell-mediated progressive structural failure. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of the maintenance and destruction of the intervertebral disc, new IDD treatment methods are developed. Here, we first analyzed the key regulators of IDD through miRNA microarrays. The cell structure and morphology were discovered by Histological and radiographic. Then, the level of miR-31-5p was disclosed by qRT-PCR. The association between miR-31-5p and SDF-1/CXCR7 axis was discovered by 3’-Untranslated region (UTR) cloning and luciferase assay. The apoptosis of cells under different treatments was disclosed by Flow cytometer. The cell proliferation was discovered by EdU assay. Finally, the protein levels of SDF-1, CXCR7, ADAMTS-5, Col II, Aggrecan and MMP13 were discovered by Western blot. The results show that miR-31-5p is a key regulator of IDD and its level is down-regulated in IDD. Overexpression of miR-31-5p facilitates NP cell proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, facilitates ECM formation and inhibits the level of matrix degrading enzymes in NP cells. The SDF-1/CXCR7 axis is the direct target of miR-31-5p. miR-31-5p acts on IDD by regulating SDF-1/CXCR7. In vitro experiments further verified that the up-regulation of miR-31-5p prevented the development of IDD. In conclusion, overexpression of miR-31-5p can inhibit IDD by regulating SDF-1/CXCR7.HighlightsThe level of miR-31-5p decreased in NP;The increase in methylation status is consistent with the decrease in miR-31-5p levels;Upregulation of miR-31-5p stimulated NP cell proliferation, restrained apoptosis, promoted ECM;SDF-1/CXCR7 axis is the target of miR-31-5p;Overexpression of miR-31-5p inhibits IDD through SDF-1/CXCR7;In vitro experiments proved up-regulation of miR-31-5p prevented the development of IDD.

Here, we first analyzed the key regulators of IDD through microRNAs microarrays. Then, the level of miR-31-5p was evaluated by qRT-PCR. The association between miR-31-5p and Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/CXCR7 axis was assessed by 3′-untranslated region (UTR) cloning and luciferase assay. The apoptosis of cells under different treatments was evaluated by flow cytometer. The cell proliferation was assessed by EdU assay. After IDD model establishment, the discs of mice tail were harvested for histological and radiographic evaluation in each group. Finally, the protein levels of SDF-1, CXCR7, ADAMTS-5, Col II, Aggrecan, and MMP13 were assessed by western blot. The results show that miR-31-5p is a key regulator of IDD and its level is down-regulated in IDD. Overexpression of miR-31-5p facilitates nucleus pulposus cell proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, facilitates ECM formation, and inhibits the level of matrix degrading enzymes in NP cells.

Abstract Objective: Nicotine, the main ingredient in tobacco, is identified to facilitate tumorigenesis and accelerate metastasis in tumor. Studies in recent years have reported that long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 460 (LINC00460) is strongly associated with lung cancer poor prognosis and nicotine dependence. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether nicotine promotes the development of lung cancer through activation of LINC00460. Methods: We determined that LINC00460 expression in lung cancer tissues and the prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) website and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Through in vitro experiments, we studied the effects of nicotine on LINC00460 in NSCLC cells lines using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), transwell test, flow cytometry, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot assays. Results: We identified the significant up-regulated expression level of LINC00460 in NSCLC tissues and cell lines, especially, the negative correlation of LINC00460 expression level with overall survival (OS). In in vitro experiments, LINC00460 was overexpressed in NSCLC cell lines under nicotine stimulation. Nicotine could relieve the effect of LINC00460 knockdown on NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis. The same influence was observed on PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conclusions: In summary, this is the first time to examine the potential roles of LINC00460 in lung cancer cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis induced by nicotine. This may help to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of metastatic tumors from cigarette smoke-caused lung cancer by blocking the nicotine-activated LINC00460 pathway.

Clinical Conditions

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used in various studies to induce immunomodulatory effects in clinical conditions associated with immune dysregulation such as graft versus host disease (GvHD). However, most of these clinical trials failed to go beyond early phase 2 studies because of limited efficacy. Various methods have been assessed to increase the potency of MSCs. IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that is known to modulate immune responses in GvHD. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of transfecting IL-10 mRNA to enhance MSC therapeutic potential. IL-10 mRNA engineered MSCs (eMSCs-IL10) maintained high levels of IL-10 expression even after freezing and thawing. IL-10 mRNA transfection did not appear to alter MSC intrinsic characteristics. eMSCs-IL10 significantly suppressed T cell proliferation relative to naïve MSCs in vitro. In a mouse model for GvHD, eMSCs-IL10 induced a decrease in plasma level of potent pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibited CD4+ and CD8+ T cell proliferation in the spleen. In summary, our studies demonstrate the feasibility of potentiating MSCs to enhance their immunomodulatory effects by IL-10 mRNA transfection. The use of non-viral transfection may generate a safe and potent MSC product for treatment of clinical conditions associated with immune dysregulation such as GvHD.

Abstract Objective To systematically assess the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on in vitro cellular behavior. Methods A systematic electronic search using MEDLINE database was performed. In vitro studies using PRF were considered and articles published up to June 31, 2018 were screened. Eligible studies were selected based on the use of human PRF. Results In total, 1746 titles were identified with the search terms, from these 37 met the inclusion criteria and were chosen for data extraction. In addition, 16 new studies, mainly published in 2019, were also included in the analysis resulting in 53 studies. No meta-analysis could be performed due to the heterogeneity of study designs. Included studies show that PRF enhances proliferation, migration, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation on a variety of cell types along with cell signaling activation. Furthermore, PRF reduces inflammation, suppresses osteoclastogenesis, and increases the expression of various growth factors in mesenchymal cells. Summary and conclusions Despite some notable differences of the studies, the overall findings suggest a positive effect of PRF on cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, differentiation, and inflammation pointing towards a therapeutic potential in regenerative dentistry. Clinical relevance PRF serves as a reservoir of bioactive molecules to support wound healing and bone regeneration. Although the cellular mechanisms by which PRF supports the clinical outcomes remain unclear, in vitro research provides possible explanations. This systematic review aims to provide an update of the existing research on how PRF affects basic physiological processes in vitro. The overall findings suggest that PRF induces cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and differentiation along with possessing anti-inflammatory properties further supporting its therapeutic potential in wound healing and bone regeneration.

LIN28 inhibits let-7 miRNA maturation which prevents cell differentiation and promotes proliferation. We hypothesized that the LIN28-let-7 axis regulates proliferation-associated genes in sheep trophectoderm in vivo. Day 9-hatched sheep blastocysts were incubated with lentiviral particles to deliver shRNA targeting LIN28 specifically to trophectoderm cells. At day 16, conceptus elongation was significantly reduced in LIN28A and LIN28B knockdowns. Let-7 miRNAs were significantly increased and IGF2BP1-3, HMGA1, ARID3B, and c-MYC were decreased in trophectoderm from knockdown conceptuses. Ovine trophoblast (OTR) cells derived from day 16 trophectoderm are a useful tool for in vitro experiments. Surprisingly, LIN28 was significantly reduced and let-7 miRNAs increased after only a few passages of OTR cells, suggesting these passaged cells represent a more differentiated phenotype. To create an OTR cell line more similar to day 16 trophectoderm we overexpressed LIN28A and LIN28B, which significantly decreased let-7 miRNAs and increased IGF2BP1-3, HMGA1, ARID3B, and c-MYC compared to control. This is the first study showing the role of the LIN28-let-7 axis in trophoblast proliferation and conceptus elongation in vivo. These results suggest that reduced LIN28 during early placental development can lead to reduced trophoblast proliferation and sheep conceptus elongation at a critical period for successful establishment of pregnancy.

The Relationship

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) abnormal proliferation is related to hypertension. P27 can arrest cell cycle and its downregulation is associated with hypertension. miR-155 plays a regulatory role in VSMC proliferation, while its relationship with hypertension is still unclear. Bioinformatics analysis reveals a relationship between p27 mRNA and miR-155. The present study explores miR-155's role in p27 expression, VSMC proliferation and apoptosis, as well as in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Dual luciferase assay verified the relationship between miR-155 and p27. miR155, p27, α-SMA, and Ki-67 expressions in the thoracic aorta media of rat hypertension model were detected. VSMCs were cultured in vitro and grouped into, anti-miR-NC, anti-miR-155, pIRES2-blank, pIRES2-p27, and anti-miR-155 + pIRES2-p27 groups followed by analysis of cell cycle by flow cytometry and cell proliferation by EdU staining. Hypertension rats were randomly divided into antagomir-155 and antagomir-control. Caudal artery systolic and diastolic pressures were measured. miR-155 suppressed p27 expression. miR-155 and Ki-67 expressions were significantly enhanced, while p27 and α-SMA levels were reduced in the tunica media from hypertension rats compared with control. Downregulation of miR-155 and/or upregulation of p27 obviously declined cell proliferation and arrested cell cycle in G1 phase. Antagomir-155 injection significantly decreased systolic and diastolic pressures, elevated p27 and α-SMA expressions in media, and reduced the thickness of tunica media. miR-155 enhances VSMC proliferation via regulating p27. miR-155 enhancement was related to hypertension. miR-155 plays a therapeutic effect in hypertension.

Background/Aims: Abnormal expression of HGF is found in various cancers and correlates with tumor proliferation, metastasis and angiogenesis. However, the regulatory mechanism of the HGF-VEGF axis remains unclear. Methods: The expression characteristic of HGF in human gastric cancer tissues was shown by an immunohistochemistry assay, and the expression levels of target protein were detected by Western blot. The relative levels of miR-26a/b and target mRNA were examined by qRT-PCR. We used bioinformatics tools to search for miRNAs that can potentially target HGF. A luciferase assay was used to confirm direct targeting. Furthermore, the functions of miR-26a/b and HGF were evaluated by cell proliferation and migration assays in vitro and by the mouse xenograft tumor model in vivo. Results: We found that the HGF protein was clearly increased while miR-26a/b were dramatically down-regulated in gastric cancer. miR-26a/b directly bind to the 3’-UTR of HGF mRNA at specific targeting sites. We demonstrated that the repression of the HGF-VEGF pathway by miR-26a/b overexpression suppressed gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, miR-26a/b also showed an anti-tumor effect in the xenograft mouse model by suppressing tumor growth and angiogenesis. Conclusions: miR-26a/b could suppress tumor tumorigenesis and angiogenesis by targeting the HGF-VEGF axis and could serve as a potential treatment modality for targeted therapy in the clinical treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor globally. Meanwhile, LINC01116 has been proposed as risk factor for various tumors, including CRC. But the regulation of LINC01116 in CRC required more validated data. This study aimed to elucidate the potential function of LINC01116 in regulating cell proliferation and angiogenesis of CRC. Methods LINC01116 expression in 80 pairs of CRC tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues was determined by qRT-PCR. After transfection of pcDNA3.1-LINC01116, sh-LINC01116, sh-TPM1, pcDNA3.1-EZH2 or sh-EZH2 in SW480 and HCT116 cells, the levels of LINC01116, TPM1 and EZH2 were measured by qRT-PCR or Western blot. The cell biological function of CRC cell lines was determined by CCK-8, colony formation assays, tube formation and scratch assays. RNA pull-down and RIP assays were applied to detect the binding of LINC01116 with EZH2 and H3K27me3. Binding of EZH2 to the TPM1 promoter was assessed by ChIP assay. Finally, xenograft models in nude mice were established to validate the results of in vitro experiments. Results LINC01116 was overexpressed in CRC tissues and high expression of LINC01116 was negatively correlated with postoperative survival. In vitro study showed LINC01116 expression could significantly enhance CRC progression, including increasing cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis. Besides, investigations into the mechanism disclosed that LINC01116 could regulate EZH2 to inactivate TPM1 promoter, thus promoting CRC cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Moreover, consistent results of in vivo experiments were conformed in vitro experiments. Conclusion LINC01116 promotes the proliferation and angiogenesis of CRC cells by recruiting EZH2 to potentiate methylation in the TPM1 promoter region to inhibit the transcription of TPM1.

Abstract Abstract 833 A growing body of evidence suggests that the genome of a many organisms, particularly mammals is controlled not only by transcription factors but also by post-transcriptional programs that are modulated by the family of small RNA molecules including microRNAs (miRs). miRs can block mRNA translation and affect mRNA stability. We have evaluated profiles of 384 human miRs in CD138+ cells from 79 patients with multiple myeloma (MM), 11 MM cell lines and 9 healthy donors (HD) using qRT-PCR based microRNA array. This analysis has identified a MM specific miRNA signature that significantly correlates with OS (p=0.05) and EFS (p=0.017) of patients. Based on this signature one group of patients clustered with HD suggesting indolent disease while other with cell lines indicating aggressive disease. We identified significant modulation of expression of 61 microRNAs in MM cells compared to normal plasma cells. Specific miRs with established oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions such as miR-155, miR-585 and Let7-f were significantly dysregulated in MM (p<0.001). Modulation of miRs-155, -585 and Let7 were observed most frequently in the group of patients with poor OS and EFS suggesting their crucial role in MM. However biological role of these miRs have not yet been defined. To further evaluate biological function of these most recurrent miRs in MM, we evaluated role of miR-155, let-7f and mir-585 in MM cell lines by gain- and loss- of function experiments. We used locked nucleic acid (LNA) anti-miR probes for loss of function and pre-miR-155 for gain of function studies using them alone or in combination. Although manipulation of all 3 miRs induced 20-25% change in MM cell proliferation and/or induction of apoptosis, combination of anti-miR-let7f with pre-miR-155, and anti-miR-585 in combination with miR-155 had dramatic effects on MM cell proliferation and over 60% cells undergoing apoptosis. To evaluate the targets of these miRs, we have determined effects of these anti-miRs and pre-miR on global gene and miR expression profile in MM alone and in combinations. This analysis identified modulation of cluster of miRs as well as genes critical for cell growth and survival. Next, we have tested efficacy of these miRs in vivo in murine Xenograft model to evaluate their therapeutic potential. Tumor-bearing mice were treated intraperitoneal for four consecutively days with the LNA anti-miR-585 and Let-7 and pre-miR-155 probes and respective controls alone and in combination. We observed that the single LNA anti-miR-585 and let 7 and pre miR-155 treatment reduced tumor size by 36%, 31% and 155% in animal 7 days after treatment. However, significant tumor size reductions were achieved when animals were treated with combinations; anti-miR-Let 7f plus pre-miR-155 (58 %); LNA anti-miR-Let 7f plus LNA anti-miR-585 (56 %); LNA-anti-miR-585 plus pre-miR-155 (74 %).We did not observe any significant systemic toxicity in the animals. In conclusion our results suggest significant biological role for miR-585, let 7f and miR-155 in myeloma, both in vitro and in vivo; it highlights for the first time a concerted activity of combination of miRs and holds a great promise for developing novel therapeutic approach for myeloma.

Abstract Background We aimed to investigate the correlation of Circ-SMARCA5 with disease severity and prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM), and its underlying mechanisms in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Methods Bone marrow samples from 105 MM patients and 36 healthy controls were collected for Circ-SMARCA5 expression measurement. And the correlation of Circ-SMARCA5 expression with patients’ characteristics and survival was determined. In vitro, the effect of Circ-SMARCA5 on MM cell proliferation and apoptosis was evaluated by altering Circ-SMARCA5 expression through transfection. Rescue experiments and luciferase assay were further performed to explore the mechanism of Circ-SMARCA5 as well as its potential target miR-767-5p in regulating MM cell activity. Results Circ-AMARCA5 was downregulated in MM and presented a good value in distinguishing MM patients from controls and it was also negatively correlated with Beta-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) level and International Staging System (ISS) stage. Additionally, Circ-SMARCA5 high expression was associated with higher CR as well as better PFS and OS. As for in vitro experiments, Circ-SMARCA5 expression was lower in MM cell lines compared with normal cells, and Circ-SMARCA5 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation but promoted cell apoptosis in RPMI8226 cells. Rescue experiments disclosed that the effect of Circ-SMARCA5 on cell activity was attenuated by miR-767-5p, and luciferase reporter assay revealed direct binding between Circ-SMARCA5 and miR-767-5p. Conclusions Circ-SMARCA5 is downregulated and correlated with lower β2-MG level and ISS stage as well as better prognosis in MM patients, and it inhibits proliferation but promotes apoptosis of MM cells via directly sponging miR-767-5p.
