Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Familial Alzheimer's Patients Express MicroRNA Differently. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1580. [PMID: 38338859 PMCID: PMC10855944 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the predominant form of dementia globally. No reliable diagnostic, predictive techniques, or curative interventions are available. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are vital to controlling gene expression, making them valuable biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. This study examines the transcriptome of olfactory ecto-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from individuals with the PSEN1(A431E) mutation (Jalisco mutation). The aim is to determine whether this mutation affects the transcriptome and expression profile of miRNAs and their target genes at different stages of asymptomatic, presymptomatic, and symptomatic conditions. Expression microarrays compare the MSCs from mutation carriers with those from healthy donors. The results indicate a distinct variation in the expression of miRNAs and mRNAs among different symptomatologic groups and between individuals with the mutation. Using bioinformatics tools allows us to identify target genes for miRNAs, which in turn affect various biological processes and pathways. These include the cell cycle, senescence, transcription, and pathways involved in regulating the pluripotency of stem cells. These processes are closely linked to inter- and intracellular communication, vital for cellular functioning. These findings can enhance our comprehension and monitoring of the disease's physiological processes, identify new disorder indicators, and develop innovative treatments and diagnostic tools for preventing or treating AD.

Abstract
Heat stroke (HS) is an acute physical illness associated with a higher risk of organ dysfunction. This study is the first to explore exosomal miR-548x-3p derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in the pyroptosis of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) associated with HS. Human BMSCs-derived exosome alleviated the injury of the heart, liver, kidney and ileum tissues, the increase of IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α levels, pyroptosis of endothelial cells and the increase of HGMB1, NLRP3, ASC, caspase1 and GSDMD-N protein expression in HS mice and HS-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). miR-548x-3p was down-expressed in HS patients, while up-expressed in BMSCs-derived exosome. BMSCs-ExomiR-548x-3p mimics to inhibit pyroptosis, inflammation and HGMB1/NLRP3 activation in HS-induced HUVECs and HS mice, which were blocked by overexpression of HMGB1. In conclusion, human BMSCs-derived exosomes carried miR-548x-3p mimics to inhibit pyroptosis of VECs through HMGB1 in HS mice.

Abstract
A significant clinical association between osteoporosis (OP) and fibromyalgia (FM) has been shown in the literature. Given the need for specific biomarkers to improve OP and FM management, common miRNAs might provide promising tracks for future prevention and treatment. The aim of this review is to identify miRNAs described in OP and FM, and dysregulated in the same direction in both pathologies. The PubMed database was searched until June 2023, with a clear mention of OP, FM, and miRNA expression. Clinical trials, case-control, and cross-sectional studies were included. Gray literature was not searched. Out of the 184 miRNAs found in our research, 23 are shared by OP and FM: 7 common miRNAs are dysregulated in the same direction for both pathologies (3 up-, 4 downregulated). The majority of these common miRNAs are involved in the Wnt pathway and the cholinergic system and a possible link has been highlighted. Further studies are needed to explore this relationship. Moreover, the harmonization of technical methods is necessary to confirm miRNAs shared between OP and FM.

Abstract
Epigenetic alterations are a driving force of the carcinogenesis process. MicroRNAs play a role in silencing mutated oncogenes, thus defending the cell against the adverse consequences of genotoxic damages induced by environmental pollutants. These processes have been well investigated in lungs; however, although skin is directly exposed to a great variety of environmental pollutants, more research is needed to better understand the effect on cutaneous tissue. Therefore, we investigated microRNA alteration in human skin biopsies exposed to diesel fumes, ozone, and UV light for over 24 h of exposure. UV and ozone-induced microRNA alteration right after exposure, while the peak of their deregulations induced by diesel fumes was reached only at the end of the 24 h. Diesel fumes mainly altered microRNAs involved in the carcinogenesis process, ozone in apoptosis, and UV in DNA repair. Accordingly, each tested pollutant induced a specific pattern of microRNA alteration in skin related to the intrinsic mechanisms activated by the specific pollutant. These alterations, over a short time basis, reflect adaptive events aimed at defending the tissue against damages. Conversely, whenever environmental exposure lasts for a long time, the irreversible alteration of the microRNA machinery results in epigenetic damage contributing to the pathogenesis of inflammation, dysplasia, and cancer induced by environmental pollutants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the common cause of renal diseases such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Various diagnostic applications and treatment methods are used for clinical but remain some prognosis issues. To avoid morbidity and mortality related to DN, early detection of disease complications as well as targeted therapeutic strategies is essential. Considerable evidence indicates that non-coding RNA plays a vital role in the biological processes of various diseases, used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. And the most known ncRNAs are the microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study aimed to identify potential prognostic ncRNAs involved in DN by bioinformatics analysis and validated expression levels through quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and GEO database. Our research focuses on differential expression miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) in DN and their interactions with critical genes. RESULTS We identified 8 up-regulated DEmiRNAs, including miR-103a-2-5p, miR-297, miR-548x-3p, miR-604, miR-644a, miR-1256, miR-3911 and miR-5047 finally. We further validated these miRNAs in a murine model. CONCLUSION Identifying these up-regulated genes and elucidating these miRNAs regulatory network will contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of DN and how they can be used as new biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for DN.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs have been found to regulate several developmental processes among them is osteogenesis. Although these transcripts have several distinct classes, two classes i.e. microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs have attained more attention. These transcripts regulate intramembranous as well as endochondral ossification processes. The effects of microRNAs on osteogenesis are mostly mediated through modulation of Wnt/β-catenin and TGFβ/BMP pathways. Long non-coding RNAs can directly affect expression of these pathways or osteogenic transcription factors. Moreover, they can serve as a molecular sponge for miRNAs. MALAT1/miR-30, MALAt1/miR-214, LEF1-AS1/miR-24-3p, MCF2L-AS1/miR-33a, MSC-AS1/miR-140-5p and KCNQ1OT1/miR-214 are examples of such kind of interaction between lncRNAs and miRNAs in the context of osteogenesis. In the current paper, we explain these two classes of non-coding RNAs in the osteogenesis and related disorders.

Abstract
Mustard gas (sulfur mustard, SM), a highly vesicating chemical warfare agent, was first deployed in warfare in 1917 and recently during the Iraq-Iran war (1980s) and Syrian conflicts (2000s); however, the threat of exposure from stockpiles and old artillery shells still looms large. Whereas research has been long ongoing on SM-induced toxicity, delineating the precise molecular pathways is still an ongoing area of investigation; thus, it is important to attempt novel approaches to decipher these mechanisms and develop a detailed network of pathways associated with SM-induced toxicity. One such avenue is exploring the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in SM-induced toxicity. Recent research on the regulatory role of miRNAs provides important results to fill in the gaps in SM toxicity-associated mechanisms. In addition, differentially expressed miRNAs can also be used as diagnostic markers to determine the extent of toxicity in exposed individuals. Thus, in our review, we have summarized the studies conducted so far in cellular and animal models, including human subjects, on the expression profiles and roles of miRNAs in SM- and/or SM analog-induced toxicity. Further detailed research in this area will guide us in devising preventive strategies, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic interventions against SM-induced toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND miRNAs play an important role in regulating normal animal development. Muscle tissue and fat metabolism are important for maintaining energy balance in animals. Yak has important agricultural and economic importance as it provides milk, meat, and hair. It is used for transportation as well. However, the miRNA expression profiles of their muscle and adipose tissue are currently unknown. OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory roles of miRNAs in the skeletal muscle and adipose tissues of yak. METHODS A total of 12 small RNA libraries were constructed from the skeletal muscle and adipose samples from yak aged 0.5, 2.5, 4.5, and 7.5 years. High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to determine the dynamic expression profile of miRNA, and a miRNA regulatory network related to muscle and adipose tissue development was established. RESULTS miR-1-3p and miR-143-3p showed the highest expression during yak skeletal muscle and fat development, respectively. The MAPK and Ras signaling pathways were the pivotal pathways. miR-181-5p, miR-542-3p, and miR-424-5p may have key roles in skeletal muscle development, and CREBRF, GRB10, CDK1, RFX3, and EPC2 were the core target genes. While miR-127-5p, miR-379-3p, and miR-494-3p may play important regulatory roles in adipose deposition, and ETV1, XPO7, and C5AR2 were the core target genes. CONCLUSION This study provides valuable resources for further study of the molecular mechanisms underlying yak skeletal muscle and adipose tissue development, and also a basis for studying the interactions between genes and miRNAs.
