Abstract
Inflammation orchestrates a finely balanced process crucial for microorganism elimination and tissue injury protection. A multitude of immune and non-immune cells, alongside various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, collectively regulate this response. Central to this regulation is post-transcriptional control, governing gene expression at the mRNA level. RNA-binding proteins such as tristetraprolin, Roquin, and the Regnase family, along with RNA modifications, intricately dictate the mRNA decay of pivotal mediators and regulators in the inflammatory response. Dysregulated activity of these factors has been implicated in numerous human inflammatory diseases, underscoring the significance of post-transcriptional regulation. The increasing focus on targeting these mechanisms presents a promising therapeutic strategy for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This review offers an extensive overview of post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms during inflammatory responses, delving into recent advancements, their implications in human diseases, and the strides made in therapeutic exploitation.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 119:110137.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) exhibit pivotal functions in cancer via intercellular communication through shuttling microRNA (miRNA) and protein. Therefore, we aim to elucidate the function of EVs containing miR-143-3p derived from M2 macrophages in colorectal cancer (CRC). EVs derived from M2 macrophages were isolated and characterized. Expression changes in miR-143-3p were calculated in the EVs. The effects of M2 macrophage-derived EV carrying miR-143-3p on cell biological processes and in vivo tumorigenic ability concerning ZC3H12A were examined. EVs derived from M2 macrophages could stimulate the aggressive tumor biology of CRC cells. Meanwhile, in vivo results showed that M2 macrophage-derived EVs facilitated tumor growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. M2 macrophage-secreted EVs could transfer miR-143-3p to CRC cells, in which miR-143-3p bound to the 3'UTR of ZC3H12A and inhibited its expression, leading to elevation of the expression of transcription factor C/EBPβ. Overall, M2 macrophage-derived EV miR-143-3p inhibits ZC3H12A gene and increases C/EBPβ expression to facilitate the development of CRC, which provides novel targets for the molecular treatment of CRC.

Hepatic MCPIP1 protein levels are reduced in NAFLD patients and are predominantly expressed in cholangiocytes and liver endothelium. Hepatol Commun 2023; 7:e0008. [PMID: 36809310 PMCID: PMC9949814 DOI: 10.1097/hc9.0000000000000008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS NAFLD is characterized by the excessive accumulation of fat in hepatocytes. NAFLD can range from simple steatosis to the aggressive form called NASH, which is characterized by both fatty liver and liver inflammation. Without proper treatment, NAFLD may further progress to life-threatening complications, such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1, alias Regnase 1) is a negative regulator of inflammation, acting through the cleavage of transcripts coding for proinflammatory cytokines and the inhibition of NF-κB activity. METHODS In this study, we investigated MCPIP1 expression in the liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from a cohort of 36 control and NAFLD patients hospitalized due to bariatric surgery or primary inguinal hernia laparoscopic repair. Based on liver histology data (hematoxylin and eosin and Oil Red-O staining), 12 patients were classified into the NAFL group, 19 into the NASH group, and 5 into the control (non-NAFLD) group. Biochemical characterization of patient plasma was followed by expression analysis of genes regulating inflammation and lipid metabolism. The MCPIP1 protein level was reduced in the livers of NAFL and NASH patients in comparison to non-NAFLD control individuals. In addition, in all groups of patients, immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of MCPIP1 was higher in the portal fields and bile ducts in comparison to the liver parenchyma and central vein. The liver MCPIP1 protein level negatively correlated with hepatic steatosis but not with patient body mass index or any other analyte. The MCPIP1 level in PBMCs did not differ between NAFLD patients and control patients. Similarly, in patients' PBMCs there were no differences in the expression of genes regulating β-oxidation (ACOX1, CPT1A, and ACC1) and inflammation (TNF, IL1B, IL6, IL8, IL10, and CCL2), or transcription factors controlling metabolism (FAS, LCN2, CEBPB, SREBP1, PPARA, and PPARG). CONCLUSION We have demonstrated that MCPIP1 protein levels are reduced in NAFLD patients, but further research is needed to investigate the specific role of MCPIP1 in NAFL initiation and the transition to NASH.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), one of the MCPIP family members, is characterized by the presence of both C-x8-C-x5-C-x3-H (CCCH)- type zinc finger and PilT-N-terminal domains. As a potent regulator of innate immunity, MCPIP1 exerts anti-inflammatory effects through its ribonuclease (RNase) and deubiquitinating enzyme activities to degrade cytokine mRNAs and inhibit nuclear factor- kappa B (NF-κB), respectively. MCPIP1 is expressed not only in immune cells but also in many other cell types, including cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Increasing evidence indicates that MCPIP1 plays a role in the regulation of cardiac functions and is involved in the processes of vascular diseases, such as ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and atherosclerosis. To better understand the emerging roles of MCPIP1 in the cardiovascular system, we reviewed the current literature with respect to MCPIP1 functions and discussed its association with the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and the implication as a therapeutic target.

Role of Mcpip1 in obesity-induced hepatic steatosis as determined by myeloid and liver-specific conditional knockouts. FEBS J 2021; 288:6563-6580.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1, alias Regnase 1) is a negative regulator of inflammation, acting through cleavage of transcripts coding for proinflammatory cytokines and by inhibition of NFκB activity. Moreover, it was demonstrated that MCPIP1 regulates lipid metabolism both in adipose tissue and in hepatocytes. In this study, we investigated the effects of tissue-specific Mcpip1 deletion on the regulation of hepatic metabolism and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We used control Mcpip1fl/fl mice and animals with deletion of Mcpip1 in myeloid leukocytes (Mcpip1fl/fl LysMCre ) and in hepatocytes (Mcpip1fl/fl AlbCre ), which were fed chow or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks. Mcpip1fl/fl LysMCre mice fed a chow diet were characterized by a significantly reduced hepatic expression of genes regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, which subsequently resulted in low plasma glucose level and dyslipidemia. These animals also displayed systemic inflammation, demonstrated by increased concentrations of cytokines in the plasma and high Tnfa, Il6, IL1b mRNA levels in the liver and brown adipose tissue (BAT). Proinflammatory leukocyte infiltration into BAT, together with low expression of Ucp1 and Ppargc1a, resulted in hypothermia of 22-week-old Mcpip1fl/fl LysMCre mice. On the other hand, there were no significant changes in phenotype in Mcpip1fl/fl AlbCre mice. Although we detected a reduced hepatic expression of genes regulating glucose metabolism and β-oxidation in these mice, they remained asymptomatic. Upon feeding with a HFD, Mcpip1fl/fl LysMCre mice did not develop obesity, glucose intolerance, nor hepatic steatosis, but were characterized by low plasma glucose level and dyslipidemia, along with proinflammatory phenotype. Mcpip1fl/fl AlbCre animals, following a HFD, became hypercholesterolemic, but accumulated lipids in the liver at the same level as Mcpip1fl/fl mice, and no changes in the level of soluble factors tested in the plasma were detected. We have demonstrated that Mcpip1 protein plays an important role in the liver homeostasis. Depletion of Mcpip1 in myeloid leukocytes, followed by systemic inflammation, has a more pronounced effect on controlling liver metabolism and homeostasis than the depletion of Mcpip1 in hepatocytes.

Abstract
The gonadal steroids, including androgens, estrogens and progestogens, are involved in the control of body fat distribution in humans. Nevertheless, not only the size and localization of the fat depots depend on the sex steroids levels, but they can also highly affect the functioning of adipose tissue. Namely, the gonadocorticoids can directly influence insulin signaling, lipid metabolism, fatty acid uptake and adipokine production. They may also alter energy balance and glucose homeostasis in adipocytes in an indirect way, e.g., by changing the expression level of aquaglyceroporins. This work presents the recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanism of how the gonadal steroids influence the functioning of adipose tissue leading to a set of detrimental metabolic consequences. Special attention is given here to highlighting the sexual dimorphism of adipocyte functioning in terms of health and disease. Particularly, we discuss the molecular background of metabolic disturbances occurring in consequence of hormonal imbalance which is characteristic of some common endocrinopathies such as the polycystic ovary syndrome. From this perspective, we highlight the potential drug targets and the active substances which can be used in personalized sex-specific management of metabolic diseases, in accord with the patient's hormonal status.

Abstract
One of the main objectives of broiler breeding is to prevent excessive abdominal adipose deposition. The role of RNA modification in adipose deposition is not clear. This study was aimed to map m6A modification landscape in chicken adipose tissue. MeRIP-seq was performed to compare the differences in m6A methylation pattern between fat and lean broilers. We found that start codons, stop codons, coding regions, and 3′-untranslated regions were generally enriched for m6A peaks. The high m6A methylated genes (fat birds vs. lean birds) were primarily associated with fatty acid biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism, while the low m6A methylated genes were mainly involved in processes associated with development. Furthermore, we found that the mRNA levels of many genes may be regulated by m6A modification. This is the first comprehensive characterization of m6A patterns in the chicken adipose transcriptome, and provides a basis for studying the role of m6A modification in fat deposition.

Abstract
The role of the inflammation-silencing ribonuclease, MCPIP1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1), in neoplasia continuous to emerge. The ribonuclease can cleave not only inflammation-related transcripts but also some microRNAs (miRNAs) and viral RNAs. The suppressive effect of the protein has been hitherto suggested in breast cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma, and neuroblastoma. Our previous results have demonstrated a reduced levels of several oncogenes, as well as inhibited growth of neuroblastoma cells upon MCPIP1 overexpression. Here, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the suppression of MYCN proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor (MYCN)-amplified neuroblastoma cells overexpressing the MCPIP1 protein. We showed that the levels of several transcripts involved in cell cycle progression decreased in BE(2)-C and KELLY cells overexpressing MCPIP1 in a ribonucleolytic activity-dependent manner. However, RNA immunoprecipitation indicated that only AURKA mRNA (encoding for Aurora A kinase) interacts with the ribonuclease. Furthermore, the application of a luciferase assay suggested MCPIP1-dependent destabilization of the transcript. Further analyses demonstrated that the entire conserved region of AURKA seems to be indispensable for the interaction with the MCPIP1 protein. Additionally, we examined the effect of the ribonuclease overexpression on the miRNA expression profile in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells. However, no significant alterations were observed. Our data indicate a key role of the binding and cleavage of the AURKA transcript in an MCPIP1-dependent suppressive effect on neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract
Obesity is considered a serious chronic disease, associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1-induced protein-1 (MCPIP1) is an RNase decreasing stability of transcripts coding for inflammation-related proteins. In addition, MCPIP1 plays an important role in the regulation of adipogenesis in vitro by reducing the expression of key transcription factors, including C/EBPβ. To elucidate the role of MCPIP1 in adipocyte biology, we performed RNA-Seq and proteome analysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes overexpressing wild-type (WTMCPIP1) and the mutant form of MCPIP1 protein (D141NMCPIP1). Our RNA-Seq analysis followed by confirmatory Q-RT-PCR revealed that elevated MCPIP1 levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes upregulated transcripts encoding proteins involved in signal transmission and cellular remodeling and downregulated transcripts of factors involved in metabolism. These data are consistent with our proteomic analysis, which showed that MCPIP1 expressing adipocytes exhibit upregulation of proteins involved in cellular organization and movement and decreased levels of proteins involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Moreover, MCPIP1 adipocytes are characterized by decreased level of insulin receptor, reduced insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation, as well as depleted Glut4 level and impaired glucose uptake. Overexpression of Glut4 in 3T3-L1 cells expressed WTMCPIP1 rescued adipogenesis. Interestingly, we found decreased level of MCPIP1 along with an increase in body mass index in subcutaneous adipose tissue. The presented data show a novel role of MCPIP1 in modulating insulin sensitivity in adipocytes. Overall, our findings demonstrate that MCPIP1 is an important regulator of adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolism.

Abstract
Inflammation is an organism’s physiological response to harmful septic and aseptic stimuli. This process begins locally through the influx of immune system cells to the damaged tissue and the subsequent activation and secretion of inflammatory mediators to restore homeostasis in the organism. Inflammation is regulated at many levels, and one of these levels is post-transcriptional regulation, which controls the half-life of transcripts that encode inflammatory mediators. One of the proteins responsible for controlling the amount of mRNA in a cell is the RNase monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1). The studies conducted so far have shown that MCPIP1 is involved not only in the regulation of inflammation but also in many other physiological and pathological processes. This paper provides a summary of the information on the role of MCPIP1 in adipogenesis, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, cancer, and skin inflammation obtained to date.

Abstract
Liver injury plays vital roles in the development of inflammation and organ dysfunction during sepsis. MCP-1-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), as an endoribonuclease, is a critical regulator for the maintenance of immune homeostasis. However, whether MCPIP1 participates in the septic liver injury remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MCPIP1 in lipopolysaccharides-induced liver injury and the underlying modulatory mechanisms. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting were used to determine proinflammatory cytokines, MCPIP1, retinoid-related orphan receptor α (RORα), miR-155, and related protein from nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway expression. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to analyze whether miR-155 regulates RORα transcription. Secretion of inflammatory cytokines into sera in mice were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate transaminase, assay were used to evaluate liver function. We found that MCPIP1 expression was notably upregulated and significantly downregulated inflammatory cytokine secretion and NF-κB signaling activation in macrophages following exposure to lipopolysaccharide. Moreover, miR-155, lowered by MCPIP1, directly targeted on 3'-untranslated region of RORα to activate an inflammatory response. Importantly, MCPIP1 overexpression in mice alleviated septic liver injury symptoms following lipopolysaccharides stimulation. Collectively, these data highlight MCPIP1/miR-155/RORα axis as a novel modulation of inflammation in liver injury and potential therapeutic target for future research.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1-induced protein-1 (MCPIP1) acts as an endonuclease that degrades selected mRNAs, viral RNAs and pre-miRNAs. MCPIP1 inhibits adipogenesis by degradation of C/EBPβ mRNA and adipogenesis-related miRNA, however its role in the regulation of hepatic lipid homeostasis is unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of MCPIP1 in the regulation of lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 2-20 weeks and next primary hepatocytes and adipose tissue were isolated. For in vitro experiments we used murine primary hepatocytes, control HepG2 cells and HepG2 with overexpressed or silenced MCPIP1. We found that Mcpip1 levels were lower in primary hepatocytes isolated from HFD-fed mice than in control cells starting at 4 weeks of a HFD. Level of Mcpip1 was also depleted in visceral fat isolated from obese and glucose-intolerant mice characterized by fatty liver disease. We showed that MCPIP1 overexpression in HepG2 cells treated with oleate induces the level and activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). This phenotype was reverted upon silencing of MCPIP1 in HepG2 cells and in primary hepatocytes lacking Mcpip1 protein. MCPIP1 activated the PPARγ transcription factor via the thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1- α (PGC-1α) pathway. MCPIP1 contributes to lipid metabolism in hepatocytes by regulating the TXNIP/PGC-1α/PPARγ pathway.

Abstract
We used RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology to investigate changes in the transcriptome profile in the Caki-1 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells, which overexpress monocyte chemoattractant protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1). RNA-Seq data showed changes in 11.6% and 41.8% of the global transcriptome of Caki-1 cells overexpressing wild-type MCPIP1 or its D141N mutant, respectively. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway functional analyses showed that these transcripts encoded proteins involved in cell cycle progression, protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, hypoxia response and cell signalling. We identified 219 downregulated transcripts in MCPIP1-expressing cells that were either unchanged or upregulated in D141N-expressing cells. We validated downregulation of 15 transcripts belonging to different functional pathways by qRT-PCR. The growth and viability of MCPIP1-expressing cells was reduced because of elevated p21Cip1 levels. MCPIP1-expressing cells also showed reduced levels of DDB1 transcript that encodes component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase that degrades p21Cip1. These results demonstrate that MCPIP1 influences the growth and viability of ccRCC cells by increasing or decreasing the transcript levels for proteins involved in cell cycle progression, protein folding, hypoxia response, and cell signaling.
