Abstract
Background Previous data have indicated the regulation of circular RNA (circRNA) toward cerebral ischemia. This study aims to reveal the effects of circNUFIP2 on cerebral ischemia and the underlying mechanism. Methods Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) hippocampal neuron (HT22) cell model and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model were used for this study. The expression of circRNA nuclear FMR1 interacting protein 2 (circNUFIP2), microRNA-1224-5p (miR-1224-5p) and growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase-chain reaction. Protein expression was checked by Western blotting. The binding relationships among circNUFIP2, miR-1224-5p and GDF11 were identified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were investigated by 5-Ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Results CircNUFIP2 and GDF11 expression were decreased, but miR-1224-5p was increased in OGD-treated HT22 cells when compared with their expression in control groups. OGD treatment inhibited HT22 cell proliferation but induced cell apoptosis and oxidative stress; however, these effects were attenuated after circNUFIP2 overexpression. Also, circNUFIP2 upregulation assuaged the cerebral infarction of MCAO mice. Besides, circNUFIP2 bound to miR-1224-5p and mediated OGD-induced HT22 cell damage through miR-1224-5p. Meanwhile, knockdown of GDF11, a target gene of miR-1224-5p, relieved miR-1224-5p depletion-caused effects in OGD-treated HT22 cells. Furthermore, circNUFIP2 regulated GDF11 expression by interacting with miR-1224-5p. Conclusion CircNUFIP2 overexpression protected neuron cells against cerebral ischemia-induced damage, at least in part, by the miR-1224-5p/GDF11 pathway, providing a possible target for the therapy of cerebral ischemic stroke.

MicroRNA-1224-5p Aggravates Sepsis-Related Acute Lung Injury in Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9493710. [PMID: 35799888 PMCID: PMC9256451 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9493710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress and inflammation are implicated in the development of sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI). MicroRNA-1224-5p (miR-1224-5p) plays critical roles in regulating inflammatory response and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The present study is aimed at investigating the role and underlying mechanisms of miR-1224-5p in sepsis-related ALI. Mice were intratracheally injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 mg/kg) for 12 h to induce sepsis-related ALI. To manipulate miR-1224-5p level, mice were intravenously injected with the agomir, antagomir, or matched controls for 3 consecutive days. Murine peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 6 h to further validate the role of miR-1224-5p in vitro. To inhibit adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα) or peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), compound C or GW9662 was used in vivo and in vitro. We found that miR-1224-5p levels in lungs were elevated by LPS injection, and that the miR-1224-5p antagomir significantly alleviated LPS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and ALI in mice. Conversely, the miR-1224-5p agomir aggravated inflammatory response, ROS generation, and pulmonary dysfunction in LPS-treated mice. In addition, the miR-1224-5p antagomir reduced, while the miR-1224-5p agomir aggravated LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in murine peritoneal macrophages. Further findings revealed that miR-1224-5p is directly bound to the 3′-untranslated regions of PPAR-γ and subsequently suppressed PPAR-γ/AMPKα axis, thereby aggravating LPS-induced ALI in vivo and in vitro. We demonstrate for the first time that endogenous miR-1224-5p is a critical pathogenic factor for inflammation and oxidative damage during LPS-induced ALI through inactivating PPAR-γ/AMPKα axis. Targeting miR-1224-5p may help to develop novel approaches to treat sepsis-related ALI.

Hsa_circ_0010957 knockdown attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced HK2 cell injury by regulating the miR-1224-5p/IRAK1 axis. Cent Eur J Immunol 2021; 46:314-324.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the progression of various diseases, including lupus nephritis. Hsa_circ_0010957 is reported to be dysregulated in lupus nephritis, but the exact function of this circRNA is unknown. This research aims to study the function and mechanism of circRNA hsa_circ_0010957 in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cellular model of lupus nephritis. Human renal proximal tubular cell line HK2 cells were challenged by LPS. Hsa_circ_0010957, microRNA-1224-5p (miR-1224-5p), and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) abundances were examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or western blot. LPS-induced damage was evaluated via cell viability, apoptosis, inflammatory response and oxidative injury. The target interaction was analyzed by dual-luciferase reporter analysis and RNA immunoprecipitation. Hsa_circ_0010957 abundance was enhanced in LPS-challenged HK2 cells. Hsa_circ_0010957 knockdown alleviated LPS-induced apoptosis, the inflammatory response and oxidative injury in HK2 cells. MiR-1224-5p was targeted by hsa_circ_0010957, and miR-1224-5p knockdown reversed the influence of hsa_circ_0010957 silence on LPS-induced injury. IRAK1 was targeted via miR-1224-5p, and hsa_circ_0010957 could regulate IRAK1 by miR-1224-5p. MiR-1224-5p overexpression could mitigate LPS-induced apoptosis, the inflammatory response and oxidative injury, and this effect was abolished by IRAK1. Hsa_circ_0010957 silence weakened LPS-induced HK2 cell apoptosis, the inflammatory response and oxidative injury via regulating the miR-1224-5p/IRAK1 axis.

Abstract
Macrophages are important regulators of liver repair. Participation of migratory monocytes/macrophages in regeneration of hepatic tissues after resection remains disputable. In mouse the resection promotes migration of Ly6C+CD11b+ monocytes/macrophages to the remnant liver accompanied by a reduction in its CD206 + macrophage content. Macrophage proliferation within the liver reaches maximum on day 3 after the surgery. Corresponding macro- and microtranscriptomic profiles of macrophages in regeneration liver cannot be unambiguously defined as pro- or anti-inflammatory. Their typical features include elevated expression of leukocyte chemoattractant factors, and many of the differentially expressed sequences are related to the control of cell growth and metabolic processes in the liver. These findings revealed essential roles of immigration of monocytes/macrophages and macrophages proliferation in maintenance of macrophage populations in the mouse liver during its recovery from a massive resection.

Inhibition of miR-1224 suppresses hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes through targeting GPX4. Exp Mol Pathol 2021; 121:104645. [PMID: 33989616 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2021.104645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
We have focused on the underlying role of miR-1224 in cardiomyocyte injury stimulated by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). In the current study, the rat cardiomyocyte cell line H9C2 was used to construct a H/R cell model to validate the cardioprotective effects of miR-1224. Data from the dual-luciferase assay revealed that the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) was a direct target of miR-1224. Expression of miR-1224, determined using qRT-PCR, was remarkably increased while that of GPX4 protein, evaluated via western blotting, was significantly decreased in cardiomyocytes in response to H/R exposure. ROS generation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxy aldehydes (4-HNE), and H9C2 cell apoptosis were further evaluated following overexpression of miR-1224 or silencing of GPX4 in H9C2 cells. H9C2 cells under H/R conditions displayed increased synthesis of ROS, along with overexpression of miR-1224 and downregulation of GPX4. SOD activity was significantly decreased while concentrations of MDA and 4-HNE were markedly increased under H/R injury conditions. In addition, miR-1224 mimic or GPX4 siRNA plasmids dramatically enhanced H/R-mediated apoptosis, Bax expression and caspase-3 activity, with a concomitant reduction in Bcl-2 expression. Conversely, inhibition of miR-1224 exerted suppressive effects on oxidative stress and apoptosis in H9C2 cells under H/R conditions. Interestingly, silencing of GPX4 attenuated the negative effects of miR-1224 inhibition. Our results suggested that inhibition of miR-1224 caused resistance to H/R and diminished oxidative stress in vitro through targeting of GPX4.

Abstract
Macrophage populations in most mammalian organs consist of cells of different origin. Resident macrophages originate from erythromyeloid precursors of the yolk sac wall; maintenance of the numbers of such macrophages in postnatal ontogenesis is practically independent of bone marrow haematopoiesis. The largest populations of the resident macrophages of embryonic origin are found in the central nervous system (microglia) and liver (Kupffer cells). In contrast, skin dermis and mucous membranes become predominantly colonized by bone marrow-derived monocytes that show pronounced functional and phenotypic plasticity. In the present study, we compared Kupffer cells and monocytes using the immunophenotype, gene expression profile, proteome, and pool of microRNA. The observed differences did not consider the resident liver macrophages as purely M2 macrophages or state that monocytes have purely M1 features. Monocytes show signs of high plasticity and sensitivity to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e.g., high levels of transcription for Tlr 2, 4, 7, and 8). In contrast, the resident liver macrophages were clearly involved in the regulation of specific organ functions (nitrogen metabolism, complement system protein synthesis).
