Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127801. [PMID: 37918586 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023]
Abstract
The microRNA novel-3 (miRn-3) is a 23-nt small endogenous noncoding RNA of unknown function. To enrich our knowledge of the regulatory function of miRn-3 in the process of wound healing, the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus was used as a target model in this study. Gelsolin (AjGSN), a potential target gene of miRn-3, was cloned and characterized, and the interaction between miRn-3 and AjGSN was verified. The function of the miRn-3/AjGSN axis in regulating cutaneous wound healing was explored in the sea cucumber A. japonicus. The results showed that 1) the full-length cDNA of AjGSN was 2935 bp, with a high level of sequence conservation across the echinoderms; 2) miRn-3 could bind to the 3'UTR of AjGSN and negatively regulate the expression of AjGSN; 3) overexpression of miRn-3 and inhibition of the expression of AjGSN suppressed cutaneous wound healing in A. japonicus. In general, all observations of this study suggest that miRn-3 plays an important role in the early process of cutaneous wound healing by negatively targeting AjGSN, and that it may be a potential biomarker in wound healing.

MiR-1281 is involved in depression disorder and the antidepressant effects of Kai-Xin-San by targeting ADCY1 and DVL1. Heliyon 2023; 9:e14265. [PMID: 36938448 PMCID: PMC10020002 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Kai-Xin-San (KXS) is a Chinese medicine formulation that is commonly used to treat depression caused by dual deficiencies in the heart and spleen. Recent studies indicated that miRNAs were involved in the pathophysiology of depression. However, there have been few studies on the mechanism underlying the miRNAs directly mediating antidepressant at clinical level, especially in nature drugs and TCM compound. In this study, we identified circulating miRNAs defferentially expressed among the depression patients (DPs), DPs who underwent 8weeks of KXS treatment and health controls (HCs). A total of 45 miRNAs (17 were up-regulated and 28 were down-regulated) were significantly differentially expressed among three groups. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was used to verify 10 differentially expressed candidate miRNAs in more serum samples, and the results showed that 6 miRNAs (miR-1281, miR-365a-3p, miR-2861, miR-16-5p, miR-1202 and miR-451a) were consistent with the results of microarray. Among them, miR-1281, was the novel dynamically altered and appeared to be specifically related to depression and antidepressant effects of KXS. MicroRNA-gene-pathway-net analysis showed that miR-1281-regulated genes are mostly key nodes in the classical signaling pathway related to depression. Additionally, our data suggest that ADCY1 and DVL1 were the targets of miR-1281. Thus, based on the discovery of miRNA expression profiles in vivo, our findings suggest a new role for miR-1281 related to depression and demonstrated in vitro that KXS may activate cAMP/PKA/ERK/CREB and Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathways by down-regulating miR-1281 that targets ADCY1 and DVL1 to achieve its role in neuronal cell protection.

Abstract
Recent advancement in RNA technology and computation biology shows the abundance and impact of RNA editing at the genome-wide level. Of RNA editing events, Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is one of the most frequent types of RNA editing catalyzed by ADAR proteins. Indeed, A-to-I RNA editing occurs at the various coding and noncoding regions, triggering abnormal signaling pathways involved in cancer pathogenesis. Noncoding RNAs such as microRNA and long noncoding RNA have emerged as key regulators of pathways in cancer. The RNA editing including A-to-I editing is enriched in noncoding regions because of the abundance of noncoding RNAs accounting for 99% of total transcripts in the human genome. The effects of A-to-I editing in coding genes have been investigated and reported. However, those in noncoding RNAs have been less known in spite of the high frequency of editing events in noncoding regions. In this review, we will briefly discuss current findings and potential directions of A-to-I RNA editing research of noncoding RNAs and cancer. We will also introduce the concept of A-to-I editing, ADAR proteins, RNA editing technologies and databases.

Abstract
In the past decade, the studies involving single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNAs) with lung cancer (LC) risk have been performed, however, these results are inconsistent, and a systematic research synopsis has not been performed yet. Therefore, we attempted to perform comprehensive meta‐analyses to assess the relationships between SNPs in miRNAs or biosynthesis genes and LC risk and further evaluate the epidemiological credibility of these significant associations. We used PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science to search for relevant articles published before 30 May 2019 that assessed relationships between SNPs in miRNAs or biosynthesis genes and LC risk. The cumulative epidemiological evidence of statistical relationships was further assessed combining Venice Criteria and a false‐positive report probability test. Based on 20 publications with 15 969 cases and 17 174 controls, we found that six variants in miRNAs or biosynthesis genes that proved significant associations with LC risk, whereas five proved no association. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity and genetic models were performed, suggesting that four associations were rated as demonstrating strong evidence of relationship with LC risk, including miRNA‐146a rs2910164 in all populations under dominant model and in Asians under dominant and recessive models, and AGO1 rs595961 in Asians under allelic model. Three associations were graded as moderate, and seven associations were rated as weak. This study presents the relationships between SNPs in miRNAs or biosynthesis genes and LC risk, subsequently demonstrates the credibility of these significant associations, and highlights the role in the pathogenesis of LC.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with a wide distribution in nature among the living things. They play a key role both in normal signaling pathways and in pathological ones. Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus of Deltaretrovirus genus causing persistent infection in its natural hosts - cattle, zebu and water buffalo with diverse clinical manifestations through the defeat of B-lymphocytes (B-cells). Ten BLV encoded miRNAs (further miRs-B) transcribed from five different pre-miRNA (further pre-miR-B) genes are abundantly detected in BLV infected B-cells. Here we report about several alleles of each of pre-miRs-B' genes, some of which have a highly significant association with an increase or a decrease of the number of leukocytes (WBCs - white blood cells) in BLV-infected cows.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Argonaute-2 (Ago2) is an essential component of microRNA biogenesis implicated in tumourigenesis. However Ago2 expression and localisation in breast cancer remains undetermined. The aim was to define Ago2 expression (mRNA and protein) and localisation in breast cancer, and investigate associations with clinicopathological details. METHODS Ago2 protein was stained in breast cancer cell lines and tissue microarrays (TMAs), with intensity and localization assessed. Staining intensity was correlated with clinicopathological details. Using independent databases, Ago2 mRNA expression and gene alterations in breast cancer were investigated. RESULTS In the breast cancer TMAs, 4 distinct staining intensities were observed (Negative, Weak, Moderate, Strong), with 64.2% of samples stained weak or negatively for Ago2 protein. An association was found between strong Ago2 staining and, the Her2 positive or basal subtypes, and between Ago2 intensity and receptor status (Estrogen or Progesterone). In tumours Ago2 mRNA expression correlated with reduced relapse free survival. Conversely, Ago2 mRNA was expressed significantly lower in SK-BR-3 (HER2 positive) and BT-20 (Basal/Triple negative) cell lines. Interestingly, high levels of Ago2 gene amplification (10-27%) were observed in breast cancer across multiple patient datasets. Importantly, knowledge of Ago2 expression improves predictions of breast cancer subtype by 20%, ER status by 15.7% and PR status by 17.5%. CONCLUSIONS Quantification of Ago2 improves the stratification of breast cancer and suggests a differential role for Ago2 in breast cancer subtypes, based on levels and cellular localisation. Further investigation of the mechanisms affecting Ago2 dysregulation will reveal insights into the molecular differences underpinning breast cancer subtypes.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is an aggressive and lethal cancer, which in part, can be attributed to complications in the effective detection of this disease during early stages of progression. Frequently, epithelial ovarian cancer is disseminated to the abdominal cavity and forms multicellular aggregates. This unique early metastatic event, and formation of the multicellular aggregate is implicated to provide a basis for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of metastasis in ovarian cancer. Therefore, a 3-dimensional (3D) sphere culture system was established in the present study to mimic the later stages of ovarian cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether microRNAs (miRNAs), which have functions in metastasis and chemoresistance in various cancer models, are altered in ovarian cancer cells by 3-dimensional (3D) culture. A multicellular aggregate of SKOV3ip1 ovarian carcinoma cells was generated using a 3D sphere culture system. Cell viability analysis demonstrated that the sphere-cultured SKOV3ip1 cells exhibited chemoresistance compared with those in a conventional 2-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultured SKOV3ip1 system. Under the same experimental conditions, 71 upregulated miRNAs and 63 downregulated miRNAs were identified in the 3D sphere-cultured SKOV3ip1 cells. The predicted targets of the 3D sphere-culture specific miRNAs were further identified using PITA, microRNAorg and TargetScan. Compared with the target gene pool and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway, the present study provides evidence that the 3D sphere culture-specific miRNAs regulated sphere formation and chemoresistance in 3D sphere-cultured SKOV3ip1 cells. Overall, the results of the present study demonstrated that miRNA-mediated regulation is implicated to provoke features of SKOV3ip1 multicellular aggregation, including sphere formation and chemoresistance.

Abstract
To systematically evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs as potential biomarkers for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Studies were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Biology Medicine (CBM) disc database, and languages were limited in English and Chinese. QUADAS-2 tool was applied to assess the quality of eligible studies. Random-effect model was applied to calculate pooled effects of miRNAs on diagnosing SLE. Subgroup analysis was used to explore the sources of heterogeneity. All data were calculated and analyzed by Meta-Disc 1.4 and RevMan 5.3 software. Six eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of miRNAs were 0.75(95% CI 0.71-0.79), 0.72(95% CI 0.66-0.78), and 8.79(95% CI 4.91-15.73), respectively. The pooled positive likelihood ratio was 2.71(95% CI 2.20-3.33) and negative likelihood ratio was 0.34(95% CI 0.24-0.48). The area under the curve was 0.787. The subgroup analysis showed that the number of healthy controls might be the sources of heterogeneity. MiRNAs in blood have moderate accuracy and influence on diagnosing SLE, and the exact diagnostic value should be confirmed by further studies.

Abstract
Stroke causes death or long-term disabilities and threatens the general health of the population worldwide. Recent studies have suggested that miRNAs are dysregulated and can be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in stroke. The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 15% of all the stroke cases. However, at present, little is known regarding the functions and clinical implications of miRNAs in ICH. In the present study, we established the collagenase-induced rat ICH model to mimic human ICH syndrome. We profiled the expression of 728 rat miRNAs at different time points in rat brain tissues and plasma post-ICH and identified a set human brain-enriched miRNAs that had changed expression level in the plasma of rat ICH. Among them, the expression levels of miR-124 displayed significantly synchronous alterations in rat plasma and brain tissue during ICH progression. They were significantly elevated at the acute injury phase (day 1 and 2), gradually decreased during the delayed recovery phase (day 7, 14 and 30), and finally restored to normal levels at late recovery phase (day 60). We further determined the plasma expression profile of miR-124 from human ICH patients. Similar to the pattern observed in rat ICH model, our results indicated that immediately after patients reached the hospital, the average plasma concentrations of miR-124 increased more than 100-fold in 24 h, then decreased gradually on day 2, 7, 14 and to near normal level on day 30. Taken together, these results strongly suggested that plasma concentration of miR-124 is a promising candidate biomarker for the early detection and predictive prognosis of human ICH.

Abstract
The importance of non-coding RNA involved in biological processes has become apparent in recent years and the mechanism of transcriptional regulation has also been identified. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small regulatory non-coding RNAs of 22bp in length that mediate gene silencing by identifying specific sequences in the target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Many miRNAs are highly expressed in the central nervous system in a spatially and temporally controlled manner in normal physiology, as well as in certain pathological conditions. There is growing evidence that a considerable number of specific miRNAs play important roles in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory function. In addition, the dysfunction of these molecules may also contribute to the etiology of several neurodegenerative diseases. Here we provide an overview of the current literatures, which support non-coding RNA-mediated gene function regulation represents an important but underappreciated, layer of epigenetic control that facilitates learning and memory functions.

Abstract
MicroRNA biosynthesis genes can affect the regulatory effect of global microRNAs to target mRNA and hence influence the genesis and development of human cancer. Here, we selected five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs7813, rs2740349, rs2291778, rs910924, rs595961) in two key microRNA biosynthesis genes (GEMIN4 and AGO1) and systematically evaluated the association between these SNPs, the gene-environment interaction and lung cancer risk. To control the impact of cigarette smoking on lung cancer, we recruited Chinese female non-smokers for the study. The total number of lung cancer cases and cancer-free controls were 473 and 395 in the case-control study. Four SNPs showed statistically significant associations with lung cancer risk. After Bonferroni correction, rs7813 and rs595961 were evidently still associated with lung cancer risk. In the stratified analysis, our results revealed that all five SNPs were associated with the risk of lung adenocarcinoma; after Bonferroni correction, significant association was maintained for rs7813, rs910924 and rs595961. Haplotype analysis showed GEMIN4 haplotype C-A-G-T was a protective haplotype for lung cancer. In the combined unfavorable genotype analysis, with the increasing number of unfavorable genotypes, a progressively increased gene-dose effect was observed in lung adenocarcinoma. We also found that individuals exposed to cooking oil fumes showed a relatively high risk of lung cancer, but no interactions were found between cooking oil fume exposure or passive smoking exposure with these SNPs, either on an additive scale or a multiplicative scale. Overall, this is the first study showing that rs7813 and rs595961 could be meaningful as genetic markers for lung cancer risk.

Abstract
Regarding genetic biomarkers for early assessment and monitoring the clinical course in polytrauma patients with sepsis, in recent years a remarkable evolution has been highlighted. One of the main representatives is the exosome miRNAs. In this paper, we would like to present in more details the various methods of using exosome miRNAs as a biomarker for monitoring polytrauma patients with sepsis, as well as establishing a belated outcome by aggregating the entire clinical aspects. The use of exosome miRNAs for late evaluating and monitoring the clinical evolution of polytrauma patients can bring significant improvements in current clinical practice through the optimization and modulation of intensive care according to the needs of each patient individually.

Abstract
Critical polytrauma patients present a series of pathophysiological disturbances, biochemical and molecular dysfunction, which comprise to be the major cause of intensive care unit admission. In regard to molecular damage, there exists a series of factors, which all together contribute to the aggravation of the clinical status leading to increased mortality rate in these patients. One of the most important biochemical factors involved is the nuclear transcription factor B (NF-κB). Impaired NF-κB functioning is reflected on the clinical status of the patient through increased production of pro-inflammatory molecule, leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In addition to this, through microRNAs interactions, various pathophysiological as well as biochemical disturbances are produced, which altogether further reduce the patient's survival rate. In this paper, we would like to present the modifications seen in the expression of NF-κB in critically polytraumatized patients with sepsis. In additions to this, we would like to discuss the correlation between the microRNAs and its further implications in clinical status of these patients.

Role of MicroRNA in Governing Synaptic Plasticity. Neural Plast 2016; 2016:4959523.

Abstract
Although synaptic plasticity in neural circuits is orchestrated by an ocean of genes, molecules, and proteins, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Recently, it is well acknowledged that miRNA exerts widespread regulation over the translation and degradation of target gene in nervous system. Increasing evidence suggests that quite a few specific miRNAs play important roles in various respects of synaptic plasticity including synaptogenesis, synaptic morphology alteration, and synaptic function modification. More importantly, the miRNA-mediated regulation of synaptic plasticity is not only responsible for synapse development and function but also involved in the pathophysiology of plasticity-related diseases. A review is made here on the function of miRNAs in governing synaptic plasticity, emphasizing the emerging regulatory role of individual miRNAs in synaptic morphological and functional plasticity, as well as their implications in neurological disorders. Understanding of the way in which miRNAs contribute to synaptic plasticity provides rational clues in establishing the novel therapeutic strategy for plasticity-related diseases.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in critical patients. Severe generalized inflammation, infections, and severe physiological imbalances significantly decrease the survival rate with more than 50%. Moreover, monitoring, evaluation, and therapy management often become extremely difficult for the clinician in this type of patients. Current methods of diagnosing sepsis vary based especially on the determination of biochemical-humoral markers, such as cytokines, components of the complement, and proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory compounds. Recent studies highlight the use of new biomarkers for sepsis, namely, miRNAs. miRNAs belong to a class of small, noncoding RNAs with an approximate content of 19-23 nucleotides. Following biochemical and physiological imbalances, the expression of miRNAs in blood or other body fluids changes significantly. Moreover, its stability, specificity, and selectivity make miRNAs ideal candidates for sepsis biomarkers. In conclusion, we can affirm that stable species of circulating miRNAs represent potential biomarkers for monitoring the evolution of sepsis.
