Abstract
Background Serum miR-183-5p levels are associated with carotid atherosclerosis, while less is known about the relationship between circulating miR-183-5p levels and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods In this cross-sectional study, consecutive patients with chest pain who underwent coronary angiograms from January 2022 to March 2022 at our center were enrolled. Those presenting acute coronary syndrome or had a prior CAD were excluded. Clinical presentations, laboratory parameters, and angiographic findings were collected. Serum miR-183-5p levels were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. CAD severity was displayed as the number of diseased vessels and further evaluated by the Gensini score system. Results Overall, 135 patients (median age, 62.0 years; male, 52.6%) were included in the present study. Stable CAD was identified in 85.2% of the study population, with 45.9% having 1-vessel disease, 21.5% having 2-vessel disease, and 17.8% having 3-vessel or left main disease. Serum miR-183-5p levels were significantly increased in CAD patients with different severities than non-CAD patients (all adjusted p < 0.05). Serum miR-183-5p levels increased as tertiles of the Gensini score progressed (all adjusted p < 0.05). Importantly, serum miR-183-5p levels could predict the presence of CAD and 3-vessel or left main disease in the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (both p < 0.01), and also in multivariate analysis adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, hypersensitive-C-reactive protein (both p < 0.05). Conclusion Serum miR-183-5p levels are independently and positively correlated with CAD presence and severity.

Abstract
Mortality and morbidity of newborns with sepsis can be improved by early and accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy. To evaluate the early molecular events associated with inflammation and infection, we evaluated markers of endothelial activation and injury and circulating plasma miRNAs in preterm newborns with sepsis. The study group consisted of newborns with gestational age ≤ 32 weeks, with culture-positive early-onset neonatal sepsis (sepsis group, N = 8), and as a control group, we enrolled newborns without sepsis (control group, N = 12). Soluble markers of inflammation were measured using Luminex-based multiplex assay. Platelet-free plasma RNA was used to construct the library for miRNA sequencing analysis. Normalized counts were calculated and used to measure differential expression of individual detected miRNAs. We found a significant increase of interleukin 18 (IL-18) in the cord blood of the sepsis group (mean ± SEM, 104.7 ± 30.4 pg/ml vs 52.7 ± 5.6 pg/ml, P = 0.02). In peripheral blood of sepsis group patients, we found a significant increase of VEGF-A compared to controls (196.0 ± 70.5 pg/ml vs 59.6 ± 8.5 pg/ml, P = 0.02). In the cord blood plasma, eight miRNAs had significantly differential expression (P < 0.05), four miRNAs were up-regulated and four miRNAs down-regulated. In peripheral blood plasma, all nine miRNAs with significant differential expression were up-regulated. In conclusion, in early-onset neonatal sepsis, IL-18 and VEGF-A might be considered in diagnostic workup. Early-onset sepsis in preterm newborns is associated with significant changes in the circulating miRNA pattern.

Extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells alleviate neurological deficit and endothelial cell dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage via the KLF3-AS1/miR-83-5p/TCF7L2 axis. Exp Neurol 2022; 356:114151. [PMID: 35738418 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2022.114151] [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: 11/28/2021] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND New data are accumulating on the effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) in cerebrovascular diseases. We explored the potential role of KLF3-AS1-containing bone marrow MSC-EVs (BMSC-EVs) in a rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS A rat model of SAH was established by endovascular perforation method, into which KLF3-AS1-containing EVs from BMSCs or miR-183-5p mimic were injected. Further, brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) were induced by oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) to simulate in vitro setting, which were co-cultured with KLF3-AS1-containing EVs from BMSCs. Effects of KLF3-AS1 on neurological deficits in vivo and endothelial cell dysfunction in vitro were investigated. We also performed bioinformatics analysis to predict downstream factors miR-183-5p and TCF7L2, which were verified by RIP, RNA pull-down and luciferase activity assays. RESULTS BMSC-EVs was demonstrated to alleviate neurological deficits in SAH rats and endothelial cell dysfunction in OxyHb-induced BMECs. In addition, BMSC-EVs were shown to deliver KLF3-AS1 to BMECs, where KLF3-AS1 bound to miR-183-5p and miR-183-5p targeted TCF7L2. In vivo results confirmed that BMSC-EVs regulated the KLF3-AS1/miR-183-5p/TCF7L2 signaling axis to attenuate neurological deficit and endothelial dysfunction after SAH. CONCLUSION Overall, KLF3-AS1 delivered by BMSC-EVs upregulate TCF7L2 expression by binding to miR-138-5p, thus attenuating neurological deficits and endothelial dysfunction after SAH.

MicroRNA-16-5p Aggravates Myocardial Infarction Injury by Targeting the Expression of Insulin Receptor Substrates 1 and Mediating Myocardial Apoptosis and Angiogenesis. Curr Neurovasc Res 2021; 17:11-17. [PMID: 31870262 DOI: 10.2174/1567202617666191223142743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 11/12/2019] [Accepted: 11/18/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Myocardial infarction is a common cardiovascular disease. MicroRNA-16-5p (miR-16-5p) was upregulated in heart and kidney hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. However, the role of miR-16-5p in myocardial infarction injury is still unclear. METHODS Human adult ventricular cardiomyocytes (AC16) were treated with ischemia/reperfusion (H/R). The miR-16-5p level was evaluated through real-time PCR. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) was detected via LDH and CK-MB monitoring kits. Cell viability was examined with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetra-zolium bromide (MTT) assay. Western blotting was used to analyze the protein levels. The luci-ferase report assay confirmed the relative luciferase activity. RESULTS miR-16-5p was elevated in H/R-treated AC16 cells. miR-16-5p overexpression and knockdown were carried out. miR-16-5p knockdown repressed cell apoptosis, attenuated LDH and CK-MB activities, and enhanced cell viability in H/R-treated AC16 cells. Moreover, miR-16-5p knockdown promoted angiogenesis in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC), causing elevation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin receptor substrates 1 (IRS1), minichromosome maintenance complex component 2 (MCM2) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein levels. Moreover, miR-16-5p was testified to target IRS1. IRS1 silencing alleviated miR-16-5p knockdown-mediated inhibition of apoptosis in AC16 cells. CONCLUSION miR-16-5p knockdown increased cell viability and angiogenesis, as well as inhibited cell apoptosis by increasing IRS1. These findings indicated that miR-16-5p knockdown may be a new therapeutic target for myocardial infarction.

MicroRNA-532-5p-programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) axis regulates angiotensin II-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell apoptosis and proliferation. Microvasc Res 2021; 138:104195. [PMID: 34116070 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2021.104195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was carried out to investigate the effect of microRNA miR-532-5p on the proliferation of hypertension endothelial cells. METHODS Angiotensin II (Ang II)-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and primary human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were used as cell models to imitate the pathological changes in endothelial cells under hypertensive conditions. The expression levels of miR-532-5p and programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) were detected by Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The effects of miR-532-5p and PDCD4 on the proliferation of HUVECs and HAECs treated with Ang II were detected by Methyl Thiazolyl Tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The effects of miR-532-5p and PDCD4 on the apoptosis and cell cycle of HUVECs and HAECs treated with Ang II were detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of PDCD4, apoptosis-related proteins and cycle-related proteins in HUVECs and HAECs treated with Ang II. Bioinformatics analysis and Luciferase gene reporter assay were used to assess the relationship between miR-532-5p and PDCD4. RESULTS The expression levels of miR-532-5p were reduced, while the expression levels of PDCD4 were raised in Ang II-treated HUVECs and HAECs. MiR-532-5p mimic and si-PDCD4 restrained the apoptosis, promoted the proliferation of Ang II-treated HUVECs and HAECs and caused S-phase arrest of cells. PDCD4 was identified as a potential target for miR-532-5p. Knockdown of PDCD4 significantly affected apoptosis and proliferation of Ang II-treated HUVECs. MiR-532-5p regulates apoptosis and proliferation of Ang II-induced HUVECs and HAECs. In addition, overexpression of PDCD4 attenuated the effect of miR-532-5p on the proliferation of Ang II-treated HUVECs and HAECs. CONCLUSION MiR-532-5p inhibited the expression of PDCD4, thereby inhibiting apoptosis and promoting proliferation of Ang II-treated HUVECs and HAECs.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is considered a chronic inflammatory disease, and macrophages function as important mediators in the development of atherogenesis. MicroRNA (miR)-183 is a small non-coding RNA that acts as a novel tumor suppressor and has recently been proposed to affect cardiac hypertrophy. However, the exact role and underlying mechanism of miR-183 in macrophage activation remain unknown. In the present study, miR-183 showed upregulated expression in atheromatous plaques and in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) subjected to stimulation with oxidized low-density lipoproteins. Using a miR-183 loss-of-function strategy, it was demonstrated that miR-183 knockdown significantly increased resolving M2 macrophage marker expression but decreased proinflammatory M1 macrophage marker expression, as well as attenuated NF-κB activation. Moreover, decreased foam-cell formation accompanied by upregulation of genes involved in cholesterol efflux and downregulation of genes implicated in cholesterol influx was found in BMDMs transfected with a miR-183 inhibitor. Mechanistically, macrophage activation mediated by miR-183 silencing was partially attributed to direct upregulation of NR4A2 expression in BMDMs. Thus, the present study suggests that neutralizing miR-183 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Embryo implantation plays a decisive role in pregnancy. While in the process of implantation, microRNA (miRNA) is an important regulatory factor in the post transcriptional level. However, the role of many miRNAs in embryo implantation remained unknown. In this study, microRNA-183 (miR-183) was found differentially expressed in mouse uterus during implantation. In vivo treatment of miR-183 agomir in the uterine horn before implantation could eliminate the number of implantation site. The localization of miR-183 in mouse uteri gradually changed from epithelial to stromal layer in early pregnancy. Mice implantation models demonstrated that the decrease of miR-183 was mainly caused by maternal factors. Loss and gain function of miR-183 in endometrial cell lines showed that miR-183 could inhibit cell migration, invasion and apoptosis. MiR-183 could inhibit embryo implantation by binding Heparin-Binding EGF-like growth factor (Hbegf) and Laminin gamma one (Lamc1), which were key genes in embryo apposition and penetration. All these evidences indicate that miR-183 plays an important role during embryo implantation. This study provides new insights into the functions of miR-183 during embryo implantation and the development of contraceptive drugs in early pregnancy.

Abstract
MicroRNA-183(miR-183) is abnormally expressed in many kinds of tumors. It participates in the initiation and development of tumors. There are many pathways regulate the expression of miR-183. The action mechanism of miR-183 in cancer is very extensive, and contradictory conclusions are often drawn. It was upregulated in 18 kinds of cancer, downregulated in 6 kinds of cancer. In addition, there are seven types of cancer, both upregulated and downregulated reports can be found. Evidence showed that miR-183 can not only directly play the role of oncogene or antioncogene, but also regulate the expression of other oncogene or antioncogene in different cancer types. In this review, we discuss the regulator of miR-183 and summarized the expression of miR-183 in different cancers. We also counted the target genes of miR-183 and the functional roles they play. Furthermore, we focused on the roles of miR-183 in cell migration, cell invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and microangiogenesis, which play the most important roles in cancer processes. It sheds light on the likely reasons why miR-183 plays different roles in various cancers. In addition, miR-183 and its downstream effectors have the potential to be promising prognostic markers and therapeutic targets in cancer.
