[PMID: 36738005 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112438] [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: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Cultured meat production requires large-scale cell proliferation in vitro with the supplementation of necessary media especially serum. This study investigated the capacity of Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa extract (APE) to replace fetal bovine serum (FBS) for cell culture under low-serum conditions using Carassius auratus muscle (CAM) cells. Supplementation with APE and 5% FBS in the culture media significantly promoted the proliferation of CAM cells and increased the expression of MyoD in cells compared to that with 5% FBS through cell counting kit-8 and immunofluorescence staining assay. In addition, CAM cells in the media containing 5% FBS and APE could be continually cultured for 4 passages, and the cell number was 1.58 times higher than the counterpart without APE in long-term culture. Moreover, supplementation with APE realized large-scale culture on microcarriers under low-serum conditions, and more adherent cells were observed on microcarriers in 2% FBS supplemented with APE, compared with those in 2% FBS and 10% FBS without APE. These findings highlighted a potentially promising application of APE in muscle cell culture under low-serum conditions for cultured meat production.

Mol Med Rep 2020; 23:165. [PMID: 33355373 PMCID: PMC7789090 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2020.11804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNA‑126 (miR‑126) has been reported to be implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, its role is still unclear and requires further investigation. The objective of the present study was to determine the neuroprotective effect of miR‑126 overexpression against oxygen‑glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)‑induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury, an in vitro model of cerebral I/R injury, and to further explore the role of the NAD‑dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin‑1 (SIRT1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway in this process. The results of the present study revealed that miR‑126 expression was markedly reduced in HUVECs subjected to OGD/R treatment. Functional experiments demonstrated that transfection with miR‑126 mimics attenuated OGD/R‑induced down‑regulation of cell viability, and reversed OGD/R‑induced up‑regulation of lactate dehydrogenase release, apoptosis and caspase‑3 activity in HUVECs. Notably, OGD/R reduced SIRT1 and heme oxygenase‑1 expression, and induced the nuclear translocation of Nrf2, as demonstrated by the increase in cytoplasmic Nrf2 expression and the decrease in nuclear Nrf2 expression. Following transfection with miR‑126 mimics, these effects of OGD/R were reversed, indicating that miR‑126 overexpression promoted the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Additionally, miR‑126 mimics attenuated OGD/R‑induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis, which was blocked by inhibition of the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway followed by transfection with SIRT1‑small interfering RNA (siRNA). Furthermore, miR‑126 mimics decreased ROS generation and malondialdehyde content, and increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity in HUVECs exposed to OGD/R, and these effects of miR‑126 mimics were also blocked by SIRT1‑siRNA. Additionally, the miR‑126 mimics‑induced the decreases in the levels of pro‑inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor‑α, interleukin (IL)‑1β and IL‑6, and the miR‑126 mimics‑induced increase in anti‑inflammatory cytokines, including IL‑10, were reversed by SIRT1‑siRNA. Overall, these results suggested that miR‑126 overexpression attenuated OGD/R‑induced neurotoxicity to HUVECs by alleviating oxidative stress and the inflammatory response via promotion of the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The proliferation and differentiation of NSCs are regulated by miRNAs. This study investigated the role of miR-374a-5p in the proliferation and differentiation of ReNcell VM cells. ReNcell VM cells were transfected with miR-374a-5p mimic, miR-374a-5p inhibitor and Hes1, respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by clone formation assay. Target gene for miR-374a-5p was predicted by TargetScan and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were performed to detect the expressions of relative genes. After culturing the cells in differentiation medium, the ReNcell VM cells differentiated into βIII-tubulin (Tuj1)-positive neurons and GFAP-positive astrocytes. The miR-374a-5p expression was increased as the cells continued to differentiate. Hes1, which was predicted to be the target gene for miR-374a-5p, was low-expressed during cell differentiation. The miR-374a-5p mimic decreased cell clones, inhibited the expressions of ki-67 and Nestin, but increased those of Tuj1 and GFAP. However, miR-374a-5p inhibitor produced the opposite effects to miR-374a-5p mimic. Hes1 increased the expressions of ki-67 and Nestin, but decreased those of Tuj1 and GFAP, moreover, Hes1 reversed the role of miR-374a-5p mimic. MiR-374a-5p inhibited the proliferation of Rencell VM cells and promoted the differentiation of NSCs by reducing the Hes1 expression.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are widely used for the treatment of inflammatory and immune diseases, and microRNA-126 (miR-126) is a critical regulator in inflammation as well as immunity. However, the mediating role of miR-126 in BMSCs is still not clear. Thus, this study aimed to preliminarily investigate the effect of miR-126 on proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, differentiation, and its potential regulating pathways in BMSCs. Human BMSCs were obtained and infected with miR-126 overexpression lentivirus, control overexpression lentivirus, miR-126 knock-down lentivirus and control knock-down lentivirus, then cell functions, the PI3 K/AKT pathway and MEK1/ERK1 pathway were evaluated. Subsequently, PI3 K overexpression plasmid and MEK1 overexpression plasmid were transfected into BMSCs with miR-126 knockdown, then the cell functions were assessed as well. BMSCs with miR-126 overexpression displayed elevated proliferation, migration and invasion while decreased apoptosis; however, BMSCs with miR-126 knockdown presented with decreased proliferation, migration, invasion but increased apoptosis. As for differentiation, BMSCs with miR-126 overexpression showed higher levels of CD31, eNOS and VE-cadherin but lower expressions of ALP, OPN and RUNX2, while BMSCs with miR-126 knockdown disclosed the opposite results. Additionally, BMSCs with miR-126 overexpression showed elevated PI3 K, pAKT, MEK1 and pERK1 expressions, while BMSCs with miR-126 knockdown displayed opposite results. Furthermore, PI3 K overexpression and MEK1 overexpression both reversed the effects of miR-126 on cell functions in BMSCs. In conclusion, miR-126 is a genetic regulator in BMSCs via modulating multiple cell functions through the PI3 K/AKT and MEK1/ERK1 signaling pathways.

[PMID: 32283224 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2020.101068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 04/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The progressive loss of neuronal structure and functions resulting in the death of neurons is considered as neurodegeneration. Environmental toxicants induced degeneration of neurons is accelerated with aging. In adult brains, most of the neurons are post-mitotic, and their loss results in the development of diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Huntington's disease (HD). Neurodegenerative diseases have several similarities at the sub-cellular and molecular levels, such as synaptic degeneration, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cognitive decline, which are also known in brain aging. Identification of these similarities at the molecular level offers hope for the development of new therapeutics to ameliorate all neurodegenerative diseases simultaneously. Aging is known as the most strongly associated additive factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Studies carried out so far identified several genes, which are responsible for selective degeneration of neurons in different neurodegenerative diseases. Countless efforts have been made in identifying therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases; however, the discovery of effective therapy remains elusive. Findings made in the last two decades identified microRNAs (miRNAs) as the most potent post-transcription regulatory RNA molecule, which can condition protein levels in the cell and tissue-specific manner. Identification of miRNAs, which regulate both neurotoxicant and aging-associated degeneration of brain cells, raises the possibility that roads leading to aging and neurotoxicant induced neurodegeneration cross at some point. Identification of miRNAs, which are common to aging and neurotoxicant induced neurodegeneration, will help in understanding the complex mechanism of neurodegenerative disease development. In the future, the use of natural miRNAs in vivo in therapy will be able to tackle several issues of aging and neurodegeneration. In the present review, we have provided a summary of findings made on the role of miRNAs in neurodegeneration and explored the common link made by miRNAs between aging and neurotoxicants induced neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells were activated during acute ischemic brain injury, which could induce neural progenitor cell proliferation and migration. However, the mechanism was still unknown. In the current study, we explored whether vascular endothelial cells promoted neural progenitor cell proliferation and whether migration occurs via exosome communication. The acute middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was prepared, and exosomes were isolated from bEnd.3 cells by ultracentrifugation. In the exosome injection (Exos) group and PBS injection (control) group, exosomes or PBS were injected intraventricularly into rats' brains 2 h after MCAO surgery, respectively. Sham group rats received the same surgical but did not cause middle cerebral artery occlusion. The infarct volume was reduced on day 21 after ischemic brain injury by MRI, and neurobehavioral outcomes were improved on day 7, 14, and 21 by exosome injection compared with the control (p < 0.05). On the 21st day after MCAO, the animals were euthanized, and the number of BrdU/nestin-positive cells was measured by immunofluorescence. BrdU/nestin-positive cells in Exos group rats were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the peri infarct area, the ipsilateral DG zone of the hippocampus, and the ventral sub-regions of SVZ when compared with the rats in the control group. Further, in vitro study demonstrated that neural progenitor cell proliferation and migration were activated after exosomes treatment, and cell apoptosis was attenuated compared to the control (p < 0.05). Our study suggested that exosomes should be essential for the reconstruction of neuronal vascular units and brain protection in an acute ischemic injured brain.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of microRNA-126 (miR-126) on neuronal apoptosis in cardiopulmonary resuscitation rats and to explore the related molecular mechanism. The expression of miR-126 in brain tissues of rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The basic parameters of cardiopulmonary resuscitation were recorded by miR-126 mimic injection in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of hippocampus. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the expression of p38 and caspase-3 protein. Furthermore, the expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in rat hippocampus was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. In order to confirm whether miR-126 takes part in the p38MAPK pathway in the hippocampus of rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the p38MAPK pathway inhibitor (SB203580) and activator (anisomycin) were added. The results showed overexpression of miR-126 could significantly increase the neurological function score and improve the pathological morphology of hippocampus in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. miR-126 overexpression also could reduce the neuronal apoptosis, p38, and caspase-3 expression in the hippocampus. Moreover, the p38MAPK and JNK expression was downregulated and ERK1/2 expression was upregulated after miR-126 mimic injection (p < 0.05). The results of inhibition of p38MAPK pathway were consistent with those of overexpression of miR-126 (p > 0.05). This study indicated miR-126 could significantly reduce neuronal apoptosis of hippocampus in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which might be involved in the regulation of p38MAPK pathway.

MicroRNA-126 affects rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblast proliferation and apoptosis by targeting PIK3R2 and regulating PI3K-AKT signal pathway. Oncotarget 2018; 7:74217-74226.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and destruction of the joints as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. RA synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) are involved in the progression of RA and release pro-inflammatory cytokines. On the other hand, microRNAs (miRs) may help control the inflammatory response of immune and non-immune cells. Therefore, our study used lentiviral expression vectors to test the effects of miR-126 overexpression on RASF proliferation and apoptosis. Luciferase experiments verified the targeting relationship between miR-126 and PIK3R2 gene. The co-transfection of anti-miR-126 and PIK3R2 siRNA to RASFs were used to identify whether PIK3R2 was directly involved in proliferation and apoptosis of miR-126-induced RASFs. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect miR-126 and PIK3R2 expressions. MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Western blotting was used to detect PIK3R2, PI3K, AKT and p-AKT proteins. After Lv-miR-126 infected RASFs, the relative expression of miR-126 was significantly enhanced. MiR-126 promoted RASF proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. Levels of PIK3R2 decreased while total PI3K and p-AKT levels increased in RASFs overexpressing miR-126. Co-transfection of anti-miR-126 and PIK3R2 siRNA also increased PI3K and p-AKT levels as well as RASF proliferation and reduced apoptosis, as compared to anti-miR-126 treatment alone. Finally, luciferase reporter assays showed that miR-126 targeted PIK3R2. Our data indicate that miR-126 overexpression in RASFs inhibits PIK3R2 expression and promotes proliferation while inhibiting apoptosis. This suggests inhibiting miR-126 may yield therapeutic benefits in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
The neural stem cell (NSC) niche in subventricular zone (SVZ) of adult mammalian brain contains dense vascular plexus, where endothelial cells (ECs) regulate NSCs by releasing plenty of angiocrine factors. However, the role of ECs-derived exosomes, a novel type of mediators of intercellular communications, in the regulation of NSCs remains unclear. In the current study, primary NSCs isolated from embryonic mouse brains form more neurospheres when cultured in the presence of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The supportive role of ECs in the coculture was significantly attenuated when GW4869, a blocker of exosome formation, was included, suggesting that HUVECs-derived exosomes played a significant role in supporting NSCs. In order to investigate the role of ECs-derived exosomes on NSCs, we collected exosomes from HUVECs. We found that HUVECs-derived exosomes could significantly promote the formation of neurospheres by primary murine NSCs. EdU incorporation and TUNEL assays indicated that the proliferation of NSCs increased while apoptosis decreased when cultured in the presence of HUVECs-derived exosomes. NSCs incubated with the HUVECs-derived exosomes maintained their potential of multi-lineage differentiation potentials. The expression of stemness-related genes was up-regulated. These data suggested that ECs-derived exosomes could play an importantly role in NSC niche, and they might be used as a reagent for ex vivo NSC amplification for medical application.
