RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the expression of lncRNA SENCR in aortic dissection(AD)tissues of AD patients and its effect on and mechanism in the proliferation apoptosis of human vascular smooth muscle cells(HVSMCs).Methods HE staining was done to detect the pathological changes of AD tissues.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)and RT-qPCR were used to determine the expression of SENCR in the AD tissue and HVSMCs and the expression of SENCR and miR-206 in the tissues,respectively.HVSMCs were cultured and trans-fected with pcDNA3.1-SENCR overexpression plasmids,or pcDNA3.1 blank plasmid.Then cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 method and Annexin V/PI double staining flow cytometry assay,respectively.Double luciferase report verified the targeting relationship between SENCR and miR-206.Results SENCR was mainly located in the cytoplasm and nucleus of HVSMCs.Compared with the normal tissue,the expression of SENCR in the AD tissues was down-regulated(P＜0.01),but the expression of miR-206 was up-regulated(P＜0.01).Overexpressed SENCR decreased the cell proliferation of HVSMCs(P＜0.01),but significantly increased the cell apoptosis of HVSMCs(P＜0.01).SENCR could target and negatively regulate miR-206.Conclusion The expression of SENCR is down-regulated in AD tissues,and overexpressed SENCR may inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of HVSMCs by targeting down-regulated miR-206.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Pain mechanisms in patients with lumbar disc herniation are associated with inflammation,autophagy is closely related to intervertebral disc diseases and inflammatory response,and aberrant miR-206 expression can trigger skeletal diseases. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of miR-206 on inflammation,analgesia and autophagy related proteins in nucleus pulposus in rats with lumbar disc herniation. METHODS:Sixty SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,miR-206 mimics-NC group,miR-206 mimics group,miR-206 inhibitor-NC group and miR-206 inhibitor group.Animal models of lumbar disc herniation were established except for the control group.Ten days after modeling,miR-206 mimics-NC group,miR-206 mimics group,miR-206 inhibitor-NC group and miR-206 inhibitor group were injected with miR-206 mimics-NC(20 μmol/L,10 μL),miR-206 mimics(20 μmol/L,10 μL),miR-206 inhibitor-NC(20 μmol/L,10 μL)and miR-206 inhibitor(20 μmol/L,10 μL),respectively.Administration was given once a day for 4 continuous days.The control group and model group were injected with the same dose of normal saline.The paw withdrawal mechanical threshold of bilateral hind feet was measured by Von Frey filaments,and the paw withdrawal thermal latency of bilateral hind feet was measured by heat pain tester.The morphology of dorsal root ganglia was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The expressions of inflammatory factors phospholipase A2,cyclooxygenase 2,prostaglandin E2,tumor necrosis factor α,and interleukin 1β in nucleus pulposus were detected by qPCR.The expressions of autophagy-related proteins LC3I and Beclin-1 were detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3,7,and 14 days after modeling,the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold and paw withdrawal thermal latency were both decreased in the model group compared with the control group,while the levels of phospholipase A2,cyclooxygenase 2,prostaglandin E2,tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin 1β,LC3I and Beclin-1 increased(P<0.05).The above indexes showed no significant changes in the miR-206 inhibitor-NC group and miR-206 mimics-NC group compared with the model group(P>0.05).Compared with the miR-206 mimics-NC group,the miR-206 mimics group had lower paw withdrawal mechanical threshold and paw withdrawal thermal latency and higher levels of phospholipase A2,cyclooxygenase 2,prostaglandin E2,tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin 1β,LC3I,and Beclin-1 levels(P<0.05).Compared with the miR-206 inhibitor-NC group,the rats in the miR-206 inhibitor group showed opposite changes in the above indicators,and there were significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05).To conclude,inhibition of miR-206 can significantly improve the level of inflammatory factors in nucleus pulposus of rats with lumbar disc herniation,increase pain threshold,and reduce autophagy.The mechanism is related to the inhibition of LC3I and Beclin-1 expression.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanism of miR206 in rat model of denervated muscular atrophy.Methods:From September, 2020 to December, 2020, a total of 40 rats were selected for this study. Denervated muscular atrophy model was established on 16 SPF Sprague-Dawley rats, by removing 1 cm in length of sciatic nerve. The rats were classified into 4 groups according to the sampling time: 0 d, 3 d, 7 d and 14 d(4 rats per group). The other 24 rats were also established into denervated skeletal muscle atrophy models and assigned into 3 groups: denervation add miR206 group, denervation add NC transfection reagent group, and sham-operated group( n=8 in each group). After sampling, the area of cross section of the gastrocnemius muscle and gastrocnemius muscle mass were measured to evaluate muscle atrophy. The mRNA and protein expression of myostatin were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. Combining with luciferase report to explore the underlying mechanism of miR206, the t-test and oneway ANOVA were used for data analysis used in this study. In one-way ANOVA analysis, if the difference between groups was statistically significant, Bonferroni method would be used for further comparing of all pairs. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:After excision of a part of sciatic nerve of rat models, gastrocnemius muscle mass of denervation plus miR206 group, denervation plus NC transfection reagent group and sham-operated group were: (0.63±0.04), (0.51±0.02) and (1.05±0.02), respectively. The cross section areas of gastrocnemius muscle in each groups were: (761.30±21.79) μm 2, (640.30±30.31) μm 2 and (1066.00±51.65) μm 2, respectively( P<0.05). Myostatin mRNA expression showed lower in miR206 group than in NC group tested by Western blot, which were(0.57±0.04) in miR206 and (0.81±0.04) in NC group tested by qPCR( P<0.05). The protein expression measured by Western blot test revealed same expression pattern as mRNA expression pattern. The different of relative expression between miR206 group and NC group( P<0.05). Finally, in the mmu-miR206 co-transfected with the MSTN 3'UTR-luciferase sensor group, the relative luciferase activity was measured at 0.26±0.07 and it was significant lower than any other groups( P<0.05). Conclusion:The miR206 can counteract denervated skeletomuscular atrophy through down regulating the myostatin expression. Myostatin is a new discovered target gene of miR206.
RESUMEN
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently the third most common cancer type in males and the second most occurring in females. The role of microRNA (miRNA) in the development of colorectal cancer is notfully elucidated. Therefore, understanding the mechanistic interaction between miRNA and their target oncogenes may hold great importance as a possible target for interventional anticancer therapy Aims:To identify miRNAs that are part of the regulating pathway of Monocarboxylate Transporter-4 (MCT4) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) oncogenes.Study Design:We used publicly available prediction tools (e.g. TargetScan, MicroCosm, PicTar, and DIANA-microT-CDS) to identify the possible miRNA that target the two oncogenes. Methodology:We used the GeneMania database to visualize the network and verify gene names and remove ambiguity and duplications. Furthermore, we used miRTarBase database to identify experimentally validated targets which we used to further confirm miRNA-oncogene relationships. Finally, we utilized miR-Mfold web-tool to further visualize the circular structures and the simulated miR-1 and miR-206 targeting arrangements.Results:We found two putative miRNA (miR-1 and miR-206) that may downregulate MCT4 coded by SLC16A3gene and VEGF which is coded by VEGF gene. We found relationships between the validated target genes of miR-1 and miR-206 through GeneMania which we extracted from the literature. And we elucidated the proposed structure of these two miRNAs through miR-Mfold web-tool.Conclusion: Our results elucidated a novel regulation pathway in CRC cells and may suggest a potential therapeutic approach for CRC therapy. MiR-1 and miR-206 may help cells go to apoptosis and inhibit the angiogenesis of colorectal cancer cells by down-regulation of MCT4 and VEGF proteins in tumor tissues.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to explore how miR-206 represses osteosarcoma (OS) development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expression levels of miR-206, PAX3, and MET mRNA were explored in paired OS and adjacent tissue specimens. A patient-derived OS cell line was established. miR-206 overexpression and knockdown were achieved by lentiviral transduction. PAX3 and MET overexpression were achieved by plasmid transfection. Treatment with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was utilized to activate c-Met receptor. Associations between miR-206 and PAX3 or MET mRNA in OS cells were verified by AGO2-RNA immunoprecipitation assay and miRNA pulldown assay. OS cell malignancy was evaluated in vitro by cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis assays. PAX3 and MET gene expression in OS cells was assayed by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Activation of PI3K-AKT and MAPK-ERK in OS cells were assayed by evaluating Akt1 Ser473 phosphorylation and total threonine phosphorylation of Erk1/2, respectively. RESULTS: Expression levels of miR-206 were significantly decreased in OS tissue specimens, compared to adjacent counterparts, and were inversely correlated with expression of PAX3 and MET mRNA. miR-206 directly interacted with PAX3 and MET mRNA in OS cells. miR-206 overexpression significantly reduced PAX3 and MET gene expression in OS cells in vitro, resulting in significant decreases in Akt1 and Erk1/2 activation, cell proliferation, and metastasis, as well as increases in cell apoptosis, while miR-206 knockdown showed the opposite effects. The effects of miR-206 overexpression on OS cells were reversed by PAX3 or MET overexpression, but only partially attenuated by HGF treatment. CONCLUSION: miR-206 reduces OS cell malignancy in vitro by targeting PAX3 and MET gene expression.

RESUMEN
Renal cell cancer (RCC) remains one of the most lethal types of cancer in adults. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in the pathogenesis of RCC. The role of miR-206 in RCC has not been fully understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of miR-206 in the regulation of proliferation and metastasis of RCC and the possible mechanism. miR-206 expression was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in RCC cell lines (786-O and OS-RC-2 cells) and clinical samples. MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium] method, colony formation and transwell assay were used to detect the tumor-suppressing ability of miR-206 in RCC. Luciferase assay was performed to verify the precise target of miR-206. The results showed that the expression of miR-206 was significantly down-regulated in RCC tissues and cells. The expression level of cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK), a master regulator of tumor proliferation and metastasis, was up-regulated with the decrease in miR-206 in RCC tissues as well as RCC cell lines. In addition, the miR-206 inhibitor promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of 786-O and OS-RC-2 cells. Bioinformatics combined with luciferase and Western blot assays revealed that miR-206 inhibited the expression of GAK. Moreover, miR-206 regulates RCC cell growth partly through targeting GAK. Our study indicated that miR-206 functions as a tumor suppressor in regulating the proliferation, migration and invasion of RCC by directly targeting GAK, and it holds promises as a potential therapeutic target for RCC.

This study was designed to explore the effect and mechanism of miR-206/miR-613 on the expression of OATP1B1 gene. Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict the potential miRNAs target sites in 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of OATP1B1 mRNA. The expression level of miR-206/miR-613 and OATP1B1 mRNA and protein was determined with RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Luciferase assay was used to explore the exact mechanism of the effect of miR-206/miR-613 on the expression of OATP1B1 mRNA and protein. The results showed that the seed sequences of miR-206/miR-613 has perfect complementary with 3'-UTR of OATP1B1 mRNA in terms of sequence specificity. The secondary structure between miR-206/miR-613 and 3'-UTR of OATP1B1 mRNA was rather stable. The OATP1B1 protein level was down-regulated by 24.7%, 38.8% by overexpression of miR-206/miR-613. The expression was up-regulated by 25%, 38.2% by inhibition of miR-206/miR-613. However, overexpression or inhibition of miR-206/miR-613 had no effect on the expression of OATP1B1 mRNA. The luciferase activity of pMIR/OATP1B1-WT luciferase reporter gene was decreased by 35% and 30% through overexpression of miR-206/miR-613. The expression was increased by 33.1% and 32.5% through inhibition of miR-206/miR-613. When the binding sites in the 3'-UTR of OATP1B1 mRNA complementary with miR-206/miR-613 was mutated, overexpression or inhibition of miR-206/miR-613 had no effect on the luciferase activity. Collectively, miR-206/miR-613 post-transcriptionally regulates the expression of OATP1B1 protein by directly targeting the 3'-UTR of OATP1B1 mRNA.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of up?regulated miR?206/miR?1 on the proliferation of breast cancer stem cells and the effect mech?anism. Methods Breast cancer stem cells(BCSCs)were isolated from breast cancer cell line MCF?7 by fluorescence?activated cell sorting. Cells in the experiment were divided into the blank control group,the negative control group,the miR?206 group and the miR?1 group. The BCSCs were transfected by negative control mimic,hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic in all groups except the blank control group. MiR?206and miR?1 expression levels as well as the transcription factor EVI?1 gene were detected by real time PCR. The expression levels of the transcription factor EVI?1 protein were detected by Western blot. MTT method was used to detect the effects of miR?206 and miR?1 on the proliferation of BCSCs. Results The BCSCs(CD44+/CD24-/low cells)isolated from MCF?7 cell lines were successfully cultured in serum?free medium for subsequent studies. After transfection of hsa?miR?206mimic and hsa?miR?1mimic for 48 hours,miR?206and miR?1relative expression levels increased. EVI?1mRNA ex?pression levels significantly decreased. The results of Western blot and MTT showed that up?regulated expression levels of miR?206 and miR?1 could significantly reduce the expression of EVI?1 protein and inhibited the proliferation of BCSCs. The differences in levels of miR?206,miR?1 and EVI?1 protein were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Up?regulated miR?206 and miR?1 expression can inhibit the proliferation ability of BCSCs,which may be related to the down?regulation of EVI?1.
