Dong Z, Hu B, Wang S, Wang M, Sun S, Liu X, Li D, Wu D. LncRNA MAGI2-AS3 promotes fracture healing through downregulation of miR-223-3p. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:370. [PMID: 38907263 PMCID: PMC11193218 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04850-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are recognized as a pivotal element in the processes of fracture healing and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. This study investigated the molecular mechanism and regulatory significance of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 (MAGI2-AS3) in fracture healing. METHODS Serum levels of MAGI2-AS3 in patients with normal and delayed fracture healing were verified by RT-qPCR assays. The predictive efficacy of MAGI2-AS3 for delayed fracture healing was analyzed by ROC curve. Osteogenic markers were quantified by RT-qPCR assays. MC3T3-E1 cell viability was detected using CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry was utilized to measure cell apoptosis. The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the targeted binding between MAGI2-AS3 and miR-223-3p. RESULTS Serum MAGI2-AS3 expression was decreased in patients with delayed fracture healing compared with patients with normal healing. Elevated MAGI2-AS3 resulted in an upregulation of the proliferative capacity of MC3T3-E1 cells and a decrease in mortality, along with increased levels of both osteogenic markers. However, after transfection silencing MAGI2-AS3, the trend was reversed. Additionally, miR-223-3p was the downstream target of MAGI2-AS3 and was controlled by MAGI2-AS3. miR-223-3p mimic reversed the promoting effects of MAGI2-AS3 overexpression on osteogenic marker levels and cell growth, and induced cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION The upregulation of MAGI2-AS3 may expedite the healing of fracture patients by targeting miR-223-3p, offering a novel biomarker for diagnosing patients with delayed healing.

Yang N, Yan N, Bai Z, Du S, Zhang J, Zhang L, Zhang Z. FTO attenuates LPS-induced acute kidney injury by inhibiting autophagy via regulating SNHG14/miR-373-3p/ATG7 axis. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 128:111483. [PMID: 38215656 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111483] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a master driver of RNA function and implicates in the pathogenesis of renal injury. LncRNA SNHG14 is highly expressed in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and aggravates kidney cell dysfunction. This study aimed to explore whether demethylase FTO affect m6A methylation of SNHG14 in AKI injury and its underlying mechanism. The expression level of FTO was obviously downregulated in sepsis-associated AKI patients compared with normal controls. Mechanistically, FTO overexpression impeded SNHG14 expression by decreasing the stability of SNHG14 in an m6A-dependent manner in LPS-induced HK-2 cells. Additionally, FTO overexpression inhibited cell autophagy and apoptosis while promoting cell viability of LPS-induced HK-2 cells. Moreover, overexpression of FTO inhibited SNHG14 expression and autophagy in LPS-induced AKI mice. Functionally, SNHG14 acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) via directly sponging miR-373-3p in LPS induced HK-2 cells. Additionally, miR-373-3p directly targets ATG7. Inhibition of SNHG14 suppresses NF-κB signaling pathway and production of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) via miR-373-3p/ATG7 in LPS-induced HK-2 cells. Furthermore, the SNHG14/miR-373-3p/ATG7 interaction network contributes to the regulatory effect of FTO on LPS-induced HK-2 cell viability, apoptosis and autophagy. These results suggested demethylase FTO suppressed the m6A modification of lncRNA SNHG14 and inhibits autophagy in LPS-induced AKI via regulating miR-373-3p/ATG7, which provided an important novel perspective for understanding sepsis-associated AKI and is conducive for developing new therapeutic targets and strategies.

Exploration and bioinformatic prediction for profile of mRNA bound to circular RNA BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 in coronary artery disease. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:71. [PMID: 38267845 PMCID: PMC10809658 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03711-7] [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: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As a novel circRNA, BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 has not been fully investigated in coronary artery disease (CAD). Our aim is to reveal the possible functional role and regulatory pathway of BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 in CAD via exploring genes combined with BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563. METHODS A total of 45 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples of CAD patients were enrolled. The ChIRP-RNAseq assay was performed to directly explore genes bound to BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were conducted to reveal possible functions of these genes. The interaction network was constructed by the STRING database and the Cytoscape software. The Cytoscape software were used again to identify clusters and hub genes of genes bound to BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563. The target miRNAs of hub genes were predicted via online databases. RESULTS In this study, a total of 221 mRNAs directly bound to BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 were identified in PBMCs of CAD patients via ChIRP-RNAseq. The functional enrichment analysis revealed that these mRNAs may participate in translation and necroptosis. Moreover, the interaction network showed that there may be a close relationship between these mRNAs. Eight clusters can be further subdivided from the interaction network. RPS3 and RPSA were identified as hub genes and hsa-miR-493-5p was predicted to be the target miRNA of RPS3. CONCLUSIONS BTBD7_hsa_circ_0000563 and mRNAs directly bound to it may influence the initiation and progression of CAD, among which RPS3 and RPSA may be hub genes. These findings may provide innovative ideas for further research on CAD.
