Shao M, Ye S, Chen Y, Yu C, Zhu W. Exosomes from hypoxic ADSCs ameliorate neuronal damage post spinal cord injury through circ-Wdfy3 delivery and inhibition of ferroptosis. Neurochem Int 2024; 177:105759. [PMID: 38735393 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2024.105759] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes generated from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Exos), and in particular hypoxia-pretreated ADSCs (HExos), possess therapeutic properties that promote spinal cord repair following spinal cord injury (SCI). Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms through which HExos exert their effects remain unclear. METHODS Here, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was utilized to examine abnormal circRNA expression comparing HExos to Exos. Bioinformatics analysis and RNA pulldown assays together with luciferase reporter assays were applied to determine interactions among miRNAs, mRNAs and circRNAs. ELISA and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine inflammatory cytokine levels, apoptosis and ROS deposition in LPS-treated HT-22 cells, respectively. The therapeutic effects of Exos and HExos on a mouse model of SCI were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS Our findings confirmed that HExos have more significant therapeutic influences on decreasing ROS and inflammatory cytokine levels post-SCI than Exos. NGS revealed that circ-Wdfy3 expression levels were significantly higher in HExos than Exos. Downregulation of circ-Wdfy3 led to a decrease in HExo-induced therapeutic effects on spinal cord repair post-SCI, indicating that circ-Wdfy3 has a critical role in the regulation of HExo-mediated protection against SCI. Our bioinformatics, RNA pulldown and luciferase reporter data demonstrated that GPX4 and miR-423-3p were downstream targets of circ-Wdfy3. GPX4 downregulation or miR-423-3p overexpression reversed the protective effects of circ-Wdfy3 on LPS-treated HT-22 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of circ-Wdfy3 led to an in increase in the Exo-induced therapeutic effects on spinal cord repair post-SCI through the inhibition of ferroptosis. CONCLUSIONS circ-WDfy3-overexpressing Exos promote spinal cord repair post-SCI through mediation of ferroptosis via the miR-138-5p/GPX4 pathway.

Identification of mitophagy-related hub genes during the progression of spinal cord injury by integrated multinomial bioinformatics analysis. Biochem Biophys Rep 2024; 38:101654. [PMID: 38375420 PMCID: PMC10875195 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2024.101654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a disturbance of peripheral and central nerve conduction that causes disability in sensory and motor function. Currently, there is no effective treatment for SCI. Mitophagy plays a vital role in mitochondrial quality control during various physiological and pathological processes. The study aimed to elucidate the role of mitophagy and identify potential mitophagy-related hub genes in SCI pathophysiology. Two datasets (GSE15878 and GSE138637) were analyzed. Firstly, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and mitophagy-related genes were obtained from GeneCards, then the intersection between SCI and mitophagy-related genes was determined. Next, we performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), protein-protein interaction network (PPI network), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and cluster analysis to identify and define the hub genes in SCI. Finally, the link between hub genes and infiltrating immune cells was investigated and the potential transcriptional regulation/small molecular compounds to target hub genes were predicted. In total, SKP1 and BAP1 were identified as hub genes of mitophagy-related DEGs during SCI development and regulatory T cells (Tregs)/resting NK cells/activated mast cells may play an essential role in the progression of SCI. LINC00324 and SNHG16 may regulate SKP1 and BAP1, respectively, through miRNAs. Eleven and eight transcriptional factors (TFs) regulate SKP1 and BAP1, respectively, and six small molecular compounds target BAP1. Then, the mRNA expression levels of BAP1 and SKP1 were detected in the injured sites of spinal cord of SD rats at 6 h and 72 h after injury using RT-qPCR, and found that the level were decreased. Therefore, the pathways of mitophagy are downregulated during the pathophysiology of SCI, and SKP1 and BAP1 could be accessible targets for diagnosing and treating SCI.

Xia L, Zhu G, Huang H, He Y, Liu X. LncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) silencing protects lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell injury in human lung fibroblasts WI-38 through acting as miR-141-3p sponge. Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 2021; 85:1077-1087. [PMID: 33836533 DOI: 10.1093/bbb/zbab016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) is correlated with cell injuries, including pneumonia. However, its role and mechanism remain vague in pneumonia. The interplay among genes was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assay. SNHG16 and sushi domain containing 2 (SUSD2) were upregulated, and miRNA (miR)-141-3p was downregulated in the serum of acute pneumonia patients and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged human lung fibroblasts WI-38. LPS induced apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammatory response in WI-38 cells, which was significantly attenuated by SNHG16 knockdown and/or miR-141-3p overexpression. Notably, both SNHG16 and SUSD2 were identified as target genes of miR-141-3p. Besides, the suppressive role of SNHG16 knockdown in LPS-induced in WI-38 cells was partially abolished by miR-141-3p silencing, and the similar inhibition of miR-141-3p overexpression was further blocked by SUSD2 restoration. In conclusion, knockdown of SNHG16 could alleviate LPS-induced apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammation in WI-38 cells partially though the SNHG16/miR-141-3p/SUSD2 pathway.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe CNS injury that results in abnormalities in, or loss of, motor, sensory and autonomic nervous function. miRNAs belong to a new class of noncoding RNA that regulates the production of proteins and biological function of cells by silencing translation or interfering with the expression of target mRNAs. Following SCI, miRNAs related to oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, apoptosis and many other secondary injuries are differentially expressed, and these miRNAs play an important role in the progression of secondary injuries after SCI. The purpose of this review is to elucidate the differential expression and functional roles of miRNAs after SCI, thus providing references for further research on miRNAs in SCI.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the regulatory effects and mechanisms of long noncoding RNA H19 (H19) on pulmonary injury, inflammation, and fibrosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A rat model of ARDS was established by intratracheal instillation of 2 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of H19, miR-423-5p, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Histology score was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and the content of VEGF in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The lung fibrosis was evaluated using western blot and Masson's trichrome staining. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used for confirming the relationship between miR-423-5p and H19/FOXA1 in alveolar macrophage cells (MH-S) and alveolar epithelial cells (MLE-12). The regulatory effects of H19/miR-423-5p/FOXA1 axis on the inflammation and fibrosis were further analyzed in LPS-induced MH-S cells. RESULTS The expression of H19 and FOXA1 was significantly up-regulated, while the expression of miR-423-5p was down-regulated in LPS-induced ARDS rats. Silencing of H19 decreased the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, and VEGF, the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and VEGF in BALF, and histology score in LPS-induced ARDS rats. H19 knockdown also reduced the fibrosis scores and the protein expression of vimentin and α-SMA, and elevated the protein expression of E-cadherin in LPS-induced ARDS rats. Furthermore, silencing of miR-423-5p and overexpression of FOXA1 reversed the inhibitory effects of si-H19 on the inflammation and fibrosis of LPS-induced MH-S cells. CONCLUSIONS Silencing of H19 relieved the pulmonary injury, inflammation and fibrosis of LPS-induced ARDS in rats. Silencing of H19 also alleviated the inflammation and fibrosis of LPS-induced MH-S cells through regulating the miR-423-5p/FOXA1 axis.

Abstract
Background It has been reported that the lncRNA SNHG16 has significantly increased expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC). However, the functions and mechanisms of SNHG16 are not clear. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of SNHG16 on PC. Methods qRT-PCR analysis was applied to detect the expression levels of SNHG16, miR-302b-3p and SLC2A4 in PC tissues and cells. CCK8 and EdU assays were used to evaluate the proliferation of PC cells. Transwell assays were used to assess PC cell migration and invasion. Apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry, and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (including Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9) was tested by western blotting. The interactions between miR-302b-3p and SNHG16 or miR-302b-3p and the 3’UTR of SLC2A4 mRNA were clarified by a dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. Results SNHG16 expression was significantly elevated in PC tissues and cell lines and was associated with poor prognosis of PC patients. Knockdown of SNHG16 reduced PC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. SNHG16 acted as a sponge to regulate miR-302b-3p expression in PC cells. In addition, miR-302b-3p targeted SLC2A4 directly. Conclusions SNHG16 promoted the progression of PC via the miR-302b-3p/SLC2A4 axis and was expected to be a potential target for the early diagnosis and treatment of PC.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) involved in types of physiological insults and diseases via regulating the responses of complex molecular, including cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. LncRNA SNHG16 played a potential role in ketamine-induced neurotoxicity. In this study, we utilized an in vitro cell model of I/R to examine the specific function and mechanism of LncRNA SNHG16 in oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) induced SH-SY5Y cells. After in vitro treatment of OGD/R, the lower the SH-SY5Y cell survival, the higher cell the apoptosis and increased caspase-3 activity was observed. Also, OGD/R induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) through increasing GRP78 and CHOP expressions and down-regulated LncRNA SNHG16 in SH-SY5Y cells. Conversely, LncRNA SNHG16 overexpression promoted OGD/R induced SH-SY5Y cell survival, suppressed its apoptosis, and caspase-3 activity. GRP78 and CHOP expressions were significantly suppressed in LncRNA SNHG16 overexpressing cells. MiR-106b-5p expression was increased and LIMK1 expression was down-regulated in OGD/R induced SH-SY5Y cells, and these effects were reversed by LncRNA SNHG16 overexpression, respectively. Moreover, LIMK1 is a direct target of MiR-106b-5p, and knockdown of LIMK1 reversed the effects of LncRNA SNHG16 on OGD/R-induced SH-SY5Y cells biology. Altogether, these results confirmed an important neuroprotection role of LncRNA SNHG16 in OGD/R induced SH-SY5Y cells injury, and miR-106b-5p/LIMK1 signal axis was involved in the action of LncRNA SNHG16.

Abstract
Clinical application of local anesthetic reagent, liposomal bupivacaine (BUP), may cause irreversible damage to human nerve system. In this study, we explored the functional role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in BUP-induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y cells were treated with BUP in vitro, whose dose-dependent effects on cell viability and SNHG16 expression were explored. SNHG16 was upregulated in SH-SY5Y cells. The protection of SNHG16 upregulation on BUP-induced neurotoxicity was examined by viability assay, apoptosis assay, and caspase activity assay, respectively. The endogenously competing target of SNHG16, human mature microRNA-132-3p (hsa-miR-132-3p), was explored by dual-luciferase assay and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Hsa-miR-132-3p was then further overexpressed in SNHG16-upregulated SH-SY5Y cells to explore its functional role in BUP-induced neurotoxicity. BUP induced dose-dependent cell death and SNHG16 downregulation in SH-SY5Y cells. Inversely, lentivirus-mediated SNHG16 upregulation mitigated cell death. In addition, SNHG16 upregulation rescued BUP-induced apoptosis and caspase 3/7 augmentation. Hsa-miR-132-3p was found to be reversely expressed with SNHG16 in BUP-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Overexpressing hsa-miR-132-3p reduced the protection of SNHG16 on BUP-induced neurotoxicity. We demonstrated that epigenetic axis of SNHG16/hsa-miR-132-3p had a functional role in regulating anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity in human lineage neural cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tumor cells could acquire drug resistance through cell autophagy. This study aimed to explore the role of SNHG16 in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells and its mechanism with miR-23b-3p. METHODS The sorafenib-resistant Hep3B cell model was established. The SNHG16 and miR-23b-3p gene expressions were determined in normal HCC and sorafenib-resistant HCC tissues. Detection of the expression of SNHG16 and miR-23b-3p and its respective correlation with survival rate were performed. Target genes to SNHG16 and miR-23b-3p were predicted, and verified by dual-fluorescent reporter assay. The effects of SNHG16 and miR-23b-3p on SNHG16, miR-23b-3p, EGR1 expression, viability, apoptosis as well as LC3II/LC3 expression in Hep3B and Hep3B/So cells were detected by qRT-PCR, CCK-8, flow cytometry, and western blot. In in vivo studies, the NOD/SCID mice model was established to explore the effects of Hep3B and Hep3B/So cells with inhibited SNHG16 or miR-23b-3p on tumor size, EGR1 expression, and autophagy. RESULTS High SNHG16 expression in HCC-resistant tissues and low miR-23b-3p expression in all HCC tissues were detected, and the two were negatively correlated. Low SNHG16 and high miR-23b-3p were related to a high survival rate of HCC patients. Moreover, SNHG16 overexpression promoted Hep3B/So cell viability and autophagy, suppressed apoptosis by inhibiting miR-23b-3p expression through up-regulating EGR1, however, the effect of si-SNHG16 was opposite. In in vivo studies, miR-23b-3p inhibitor suppressed the high sorafenib sensitivity in Hep3B/So cells caused by SNHG16 silencing through promoting viability, autophagy, and suppressing apoptosis. CONCLUSION SNHG16 promotes Hep3B/So cell viability, autophagy, and inhibits apoptosis to maintain its resistance to sorafenib through regulating the expression of miR-23b-3p via sponging EGR1.

Dexmedetomidine had neuroprotective effects on hippocampal neuronal cells via targeting lncRNA SHNG16 mediated microRNA-10b-5p/BDNF axis. Mol Cell Biochem 2020; 469:41-51. [PMID: 32323054 PMCID: PMC7244615 DOI: 10.1007/s11010-020-03726-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Dexmedetomidine (DEX), a highly selective alpha2 adrenergic receptor agonist, is a commonly used anesthetic drug in surgical procedures. Previous studies have indicated that DEX exerts neuroprotective effects while the detailed mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, we aim to study the role of lncRNA SHNG16 in DEX-induced brain protection and its underlying molecular mechanism. The rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated HT22 hippocampal neurons were treated with DEX, respectively. CCK8 was used to evaluate cell viability. sh-SHNG16 as well as miR-10b-5p mimics were transfected into hippocampal neurons to further explore the bio-function of SNHG16 and miR-10b-5p in vitro. Furthermore, the interactions between SHNG16 and miR-10b-5p, miR-10b-5p and BDNF gene were confirmed by dual-luciferase report assay. Our data revealed that DEX attenuated neurological damage of the MCAO rats and also increased the cell viability of the neurons significantly. Besides, expression of SHNG16 and BDNF were both downregulated while miR-10b-5p was upregulated in MCAO brain tissues or OGD treated neurons. DEX inhibited miR-10b-5p expression but increased SHNG16 and BDNF levels with a dosage effect. After transfection with sh-SHNG16 or miR-10b-5p mimics, the expression of BDNF protein was downregulated, accompanied with decreased neuron viability. Dual-luciferase assay showed that SHNG16 targeted on miR-10b-5p, which also could bind directly to the 3'-UTR sites of BDNF and negatively regulate its expression. In conclusion, DEX exerts neuroprotective in ischemic stroke via improving neuron damage, the underlying mechanism may be upregulating SHNG16 and BDNF via sponging miR-10b-5p.

Front Neurosci 2019; 13:1303.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI), one of the most severe types of neurological damage, results in persistent motor and sensory dysfunction and involves complex gene alterations. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a recently discovered class of regulatory molecules, and their roles in SCI still need to be addressed. This study comprehensively investigated circRNA alterations in rats across a set time course (days 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28) after hemisection SCI at the right T9 site. A total of 360 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified using RNA sequencing. From these, the functions of the exonic circRNA_01477 were further explored in cultured spinal cord astrocytes. Knockdown of circRNA_01477 significantly inhibited astrocyte proliferation and migration. The circRNA_01477/microRNAs (miRNA)/messenger RNA (mRNA) interaction network was visualized following microarray assay. Among the downregulated differentially expressed mRNAs, four of the seven validated genes were controlled by miRNA-423-5p. We then demonstrated that miRNA-423-5p is significantly upregulated after circRNA_01477 depletion. In summary, this study provides, for the first time, a systematic evaluation of circRNA alterations following SCI and an insight into the transcriptional regulation of the genes involved. It further reveals that circRNA_01477/miR-423-5p could be a key regulator involved in regulating the changeable regeneration environment that occurs during recovery from SCI.

The Emerging Role of lncRNAs in Spinal Cord Injury. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:3467121.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly debilitating disease and is increasingly being recognized as an important global health priority. However, the mechanisms underlying SCI have not yet been fully elucidated, and effective therapies for SCI are lacking. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which form a major class of noncoding RNAs, have emerged as novel targets for regulating several physiological functions and mediating numerous neurological diseases. Notably, gene expression profile analyses have demonstrated aberrant changes in lncRNA expression in rats or mice after traumatic or nontraumatic SCI. LncRNAs have been shown to be associated with multiple pathophysiological processes following SCI including inflammation, neural apoptosis, and oxidative stress. They also play a crucial role in the complications associated with SCI, such as neuropathic pain. At the same time, some lncRNAs have been found to be therapeutic targets for neural stem cell transplantation and hydrogen sulfide treatment aimed at alleviating SCI. Therefore, lncRNAs could be promising biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of SCI. However, further researches are required to clarify the therapeutic effects of lncRNAs on SCI and the mechanisms underlying these effects. In this study, we reviewed the current progress of the studies on the involvement of lncRNAs in SCI, with the aim of drawing attention towards their roles in this debilitating condition.
