RNAi-mediated knockdown of INHBB increases apoptosis and inhibits steroidogenesis in mouse granulosa cells

Inhibins are members of the TGFβ superfamily and act as suppressors of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from pituitary glands via a negative feedback mechanism to regulate folliculogenesis. In this study, the INHBB gene was knocked down by three RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ-ZsGreen vector- mediated recombinant plasmids to explore the effects of INHBB silencing on granulosa cell (GC) cell cycle, apoptosis and steroid production in vitro. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA were performed to evaluate the role of INHBB in the mouse GC cell cycle, apoptosis and steroid production in vitro. The results showed that the relative mRNA and protein expression of INHBB in mouse GCs can be significantly reduced by RNAi with pshRNA-B1, pshRNA-B2 and pshRNA-B3 plasmids, with pshRNA-B3 having the best knockdown efficiency. Downregulation of the expression of INHBB significantly arrests cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and increases the apoptosis rate in GCs. This was further confirmed by downregulation of the protein expressions of Cyclin D1, Cyclin E and Bcl2, while the protein expression of Bax was upregulated. In addition, specific downregulation of INHBB markedly decreased the concentration of estradiol and progesterone, which was further validated by the decrease in the mRNA levels of CYP19A1and CYP11A1. These findings suggest that inhibin βB is important in the regulation of apoptosis and cell cycle progression in granulosa cells. Furthermore, the inhibin βB subunit has a role in the regulation of steroid hormone biosynthesis. Evidence is accumulating to support the concept that inhibin βB is physiologically essential for early folliculogenesis in the mouse.

miR-142-3p对人乳腺上皮细胞MCF-10A增殖及乳蛋白合成的影响

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)是一类长度约为22 nt的非编码的调控性小RNA,在诸多生命活动中发挥重要作用,如参与调控细胞的增殖、分化、凋亡及肿瘤的发生发展。本试验应用脂质体转染技术抑制miR-142-3p在人乳腺上皮细胞的表达。试验采用实时荧光定量PCR、Western blotting、细胞增殖分析等技术,探索miR-142-3p对人乳腺上皮细胞增殖及乳蛋白合成的影响。结果显示,miR-142-3p沉默后,催乳素受体(prolactin receptor,PRLR)蛋白表达增强,同时,相关通路蛋白AKT、mTOR、STAT5、cyclinD1表达量均增加,细胞增殖能力增强。结果表明,在人乳腺上皮细胞中,miR-142-3p的沉默使PRLR蛋白表达量升高,通过调控AKT、mTOR、STAT5、cyclinD1相关通路蛋白而促进乳蛋白质的合成和乳腺上皮细胞的增殖。     

Effect of miR-142-3p on Cell Proliferation of Human Mammary Epithelial Cells MCF-10A and Synthesis of Milk Protein

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small,non-coding RNA molecules about 22 nucleotides to regulate a wide variety of important biological processes,including cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis as well as the progression of tumors.Liposome transfection was used to detect the expression of miR-142-3p in human mammary epithelial cells,the effects of miR-142-3p on the cell proliferation,apoptosis and milk protein synthesis were detected by Real-time PCR,Western blotting,cell proliferation analysis.The results indicated that after miR-142-3p being silenced,prolactin receptor (PRLR) protein was increased,at the same time the expressions of related pathways protein AKT,mTOR,STAT5 and cyclinD1 were increased,the ability of cell proliferation was increased.The results suggested that in human mammary epithelial cells,the silence of miR-142-3p could increase the expression of PRLR protein,miR-142-3p could promote the synthesis of milk protein and increase the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells by regulating related pathways proteins AKT,mTOR,STAT5 and cyclinD1.     

Intraperitoneal administration of synthetic microRNA-214 elicits tumor suppression in an intraperitoneal dissemination mouse model of canine hemangiosarcoma

Canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA) has an extremely poor prognosis, making it necessary to develop new systemic treatment methods. MicroRNA-214 (miR-214) is one of many microRNAs (miRNA) that can induce apoptosis in HSA cell lines. Synthetic miR-214 (miR-214/5AE), which showed higher cytotoxicity and greater nuclease resistance than mature miR-214, has been developed for clinical application. In this study, we evaluated the effects of miR-214/5AE on stage 2 HSA in a mouse model. Mice intraperitoneally administered with miR-214/5AE (5AE group) had significantly fewer intraperitoneal dissemination tumor foci (median number: 72.5 vs. 237.5; p?<?0.05) and a lower median foci weight (0.26 g vs. 0.61 g; p?<?0.05). Mice in the 5AE group had increased expression of p53 and cleaved caspase-3, and a significantly lower proportion of Ki-67-positive cells, than those in the non-specific miR group. Notably, no significant side effects were observed. These results indicate that intraperitoneal administration of miR-214/5AE exhibits antitumor effects in an intraperitoneal dissemination mouse model of HSA by inducing apoptosis and suppressing cell proliferation. These results provide a basis for future studies on the antitumor effect of miR-214/5AE for HSA.

MAT2A/2B promote porcine intramuscular preadipocyte proliferation through ERK signaling pathway

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content has been identified as a crucial factor of porcine meat quality. MAT2A and MAT2B coordinately catalyzes the synthesis of the major biological methyl donor S‐adenosylmethionine (SAMe). However, the regulatory effect of MAT2A and MAT2B on porcine intramuscular preadipocyte proliferation has not been clarified. In this study, we investigated the effect of MAT2A and MAT2B and its potential mechanism during porcine intramuscular proliferation. We demonstrated that overexpression of MAT2A and MAT2B promoted the cell cycle progression of porcine preadipocyte by flow cytometry and EdU‐labeling assay, as well as promoted the expression of cell cycle marker genes including Cyclin B, Cyclin D, and Cyclin‐dependent kinase 4, but reduced the expression of cell cycle inhibitor P27. Consistently, knockdown of MAT2A and MAT2B inhibited cell cycle progression and downregulated the mRNA and protein levels of the above genes. Furthermore, overexpression of MAT2A and MAT2B activated the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of U0126 (a specific ERK1/2 inhibitor) on the ERK1/2 activities was partially recovered by overexpression of MAT2A and MAT2B in porcine intramuscular preadipocytes. Taken together, our findings suggested that MAT2A and MAT2B promote porcine preadipocyte proliferation by ERK1/2 signaling pathway.     

miR-128-1-5p对绵羊前体脂肪细胞增殖和分化调节作用的研究

旨在研究miR-128-1-5p对绵羊前体脂肪细胞增殖与分化的调节作用。本研究经理论预测和试验研究验证miR-128-1-5p的靶基因；过表达miR-128-1-5p后，用qPCR检测增殖标志基因的表达，CCK-8和EdU检测细胞增殖情况；用qPCR和Western blotting检测miR-128-1-5p和其靶基因在前体脂肪细胞分化中的表达趋势；通过过表达或抑制miR-128-1-5p研究其对绵羊前体脂肪细胞分化的调节机制；用油红O染色检测成脂能力。结果表明，KLF2是miR-128-1-5p的靶基因。前体脂肪细胞增殖过程中，过表达miR-128-1-5p后，增殖标志基因的表达量显著或极显著降低（P<0.05或P<0.01），细胞活力显著或极显著降低（P<0.05或P<0.01），新生细胞数显著减少（P<0.05）。前体脂肪细胞分化过程中，miR-128-1-5p与KLF2的表达呈负相关；过表达miR-128-1-5p极显著下调了KLF2 mRNA的表达量（P<0.01），显著下调了KLF2蛋白的表达量（P<0.05），显著或极显著上调了分化标志基因mRNA的表达（P<0.05或P<0.01），产生更多脂滴；抑制miR-128-1-5p则结果相反。综上所述，miR-128-1-5p与KLF2存在结合位点。miR-128-1-5p抑制绵羊前体脂肪细胞的增殖，在分化过程中通过靶向抑制KLF2的表达，促进前体脂肪细胞分化和脂滴沉积。     

糖原合成酶激酶3β对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖及细胞周期的影响

本试验通过向纯化的奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中添加不同浓度（0（对照组）、10、20、40 mmol/L）的糖原合成酶激酶3β（glycogen synthase kinase 3β,GSK3β）特异性蛋白抑制剂氯化锂（Licl）,作用细胞24 h,研究其对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖及细胞周期的影响,并利用qRT-PCR和Western blotting分别检测不同浓度Licl对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞中GSK3β、细胞周期蛋白D1（Cyclin D1） mRNA水平及GSK3β、磷酸化GSK3β （p-GSK3β）、Cyclin D1蛋白水平表达的影响。结果显示,Licl能促进奶牛乳腺上皮细胞的增殖活性,Licl抑制GSK3β后促进奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖的最佳浓度为20 mmol/L。与对照组相比,添加Licl后GSK3β蛋白表达受到抑制,p-GSK3β蛋白表达上调,同时提高了Cyclin D1蛋白表达。表明GSK3β对于奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖的能力是负调控因子,失活的GSK3β通过Cyclin D1途径促进细胞周期的进行。     

Effect of miR-142-3p on Lactation in Diary Goat Mammary Epithelial Cells

To determine the regulative role of miR-142-3p in lactation of dairy goat mammary epithelia cells (DGMECs),we selected the DGMECs in lactating dairy goat for material,used liposomal transfection techniques to silence miR-142-3p expression,and used Real-time quantitative PCR,Western blotting and Assay Kits to explore the changes of lactation after miR-142-3p inhibition.The results showed that when miR-142-3p was inhibited,the cell proliferation ability of DGMECs was increased,the secretion amount of β-casein and triglyceride were up-regulated.So we concluded that miR-142-3p could influence the lactation function of DGMECs,such as cell proliferation,β-casein and triglyceride secretion,by inhibiting the function of its target genes.     

Identification of IGF2BP1-related lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in goat skeletal muscle satellite cells

Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) plays essential roles in the proliferation of skeletal muscle satellite cells (MuSCs). Increasing evidence has shown that IGF2BP1 regulates the expression of noncoding RNAs and mRNAs. However, the related molecular network remains to be fully understood. Therefore, we performed RNA sequencing and analyzed the microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and mRNAs differentially expressed in goat MuSCs treated with IGF2BP1 overexpressing and empty vectors. A total of 36 miRNAs, 59 lncRNAs, and 44 mRNAs were differentially expressed caused by IGF2BP1. Expectedly, they were enriched in muscle development-related Rap1, PI3K-AKT, and FoxO signaling pathways. Finally, we constructed a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network containing 30 lncRNAs, 15 miRNAs, and 34 mRNAs, in which several miRNAs, including miR-133a-3p, miR-204-5p, miR-125a-3p, miR-145-3p, and miR-423-5p, relate with cell growth and participate in muscle development. Overall, we constructed an IGF2BP1-related network, which provides new insight into the myogenic proliferation of goat.     

Immunolocalization and expression pattern of gpr3 in the ovary and its effect on proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells in pigs

Gpr3, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, was known as a critical factor for the maintenance of meiotic prophase arrest in oocytes via a Gs protein-mediated pathway. The present studies were conducted to examine the ovarian immunolocalization of Gpr3, its expression pattern in different stages of fetal, postnatal and developmental pigs and its effect on proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells in pigs. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that Gpr3 was localized in egg nests, oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs) of the follicle ranging from the primordial to Graafian stages and the corpora lutea. Staining was faintly present in the corpora lutea and weak in GCs but was strong in oocytes. Real-time PCR and Western blotting indicated that Gpr3 mRNA and protein were both present in the different ages of ovaries, and there were wavy changes in the expression levels from postpartum 1 to 180 days. Moreover, both the mRNA and protein levels of Gpr3 were upregulated significantly during follicle growth, suggesting that Gpr3 might play potential roles in regulating ovarian follicle development in the pig. MTT and flow cytometry analyses indicated that Gpr3 knockdown significantly promoted proliferation of porcine GCs while increasing the proportion of cells in the S phase and the expression of Cyclin B1 and Cyclin D2, providing new insights into how Gpr3 signaling regulates the proliferation of porcine GCs. In conclusion, the stage- and cell-specific expression pattern of Gpr3 in the porcine ovary suggested that Gpr3 might play an important role during the entire process of follicular development and luteinization.     

miR-18a-5p在鸡不同生长时期的表达及其生物信息学分析与靶基因预测

为探究miR-18a-5p在鸡不同生长时期组织表达变化规律及其生物信息学特点,本研究以苏禽3号鸡为试验动物,利用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测不同生长时期鸡miR-18a-5p的组织表达变化。通过文献和miRBase检索脊椎动物的miR-18a-5p序列,利用Ensembl数据库确定miR-18a-5p在基因组中的位置,根据成熟序列构建系统进化树;使用miRmap、microT、miRanda和TargetScan网站预测miR-18a-5p靶基因,并进行GO和KEGG分析。组织表达分析结果显示,miR-18a-5p序列在鸡心脏、脾脏、肾脏和下丘脑中的表达量显著高于除大脑以外的其他组织(P<0.05)。与3日龄雏鸡相比,90日龄鸡心脏、脾脏、肾脏、腿肌和下丘脑中miR-18a-5p的表达量均显著上升(P<0.05)。在50种脊椎动物中共发现52条miR-18a-5p序列,几乎所有物种都只有1条成熟序列;基因定位分析发现,鸡miR-18a-5p位于1号染色体上的基因间隔区。多序列比对分析表明,不同物种miR-18a-5p的成熟序列同源性较高,物种间较为保守。系统进化树分析发现,鸡miR-18a-5p与原鸽、斑胸草雀等其他鸟类聚为一类,这表明miR-18a-5p进化过程中是保守的。靶基因预测和功能分析发现,miR-18a-5p共有121个靶基因。GO分析结果显示,靶基因主要富集到蛋白质泛素化、细胞周期阻滞、白细胞介素-6产生的负调控等功能。KEGG 通路分析表明,靶基因主要富集到细胞周期及Wnt和FoxO信号通路等。多个与肌肉生长及细胞增殖等相关的基因富集到相关通路之上。综上,鸡miR-18a-5p是组织广泛表达的miRNA,其可能通过Wnt及FoxO信号通路调控肌肉生长及细胞增殖分化。本研究为miR-18a-5p功能及调控机制的深入研究提供参考依据。

Induction of cell proliferation in the rat liver by the short-term administration of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether

In the present study, in continuation of our previous experiment in order to investigate the mode of action (MOA) of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) hepatotumorigenicity in rats, we aimed to examine alterations in cell proliferation, that are induced by short-term administration of ETBE. F344 rats were administered ETBE at doses of 0, and 1,000 mg/kg body weight twice a day by gavage for 3, 10, 17 and 28 days. It was found that the previously observed significant increase of P450 total content and hydroxyl radical levels after 7 days of ETBE administration, and 8-OHdG formation at day 14, accompanied by accumulation of CYP2B1/2B2, CYP3A1/3A2, CYP2C6, CYP2E1 and CYP1A1 and downregulation of DNA oxoguanine glycosylase 1, was preceded by induction of cell proliferation at day 3. Furthermore, we observed an increase in regenerative cell proliferation as a result of ETBE treatment at day 28, followed by induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by day 14. These results indicated that short-term administration of ETBE led to a significant early increase in cell proliferation activity associated with induction of oxidative stress, and to a regenerative cell proliferation as an adaptive response, which could contribute to the hepatotumorigenicity of ETBE in rats.
