RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Low-grade chronic inflammation was reported to serve as a distinctive pathophysiologic feature of coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death around the world. Herein, the current study aimed to explore whether and how microRNA-34c-5p (miR-34c-5p), a miRNA enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) originated from the activated platelet (PLT-EVs), affects the inflammation of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). METHODS AND RESULTS: HCAECs were established as an in vitro cell model using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). miR-34c-5p, an abundant miRNA in PLT-EVs, can be transferred to HCAECs and target PODXL by binding to its 3'UTR. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments of miR-34c-5p and podocalyxin (PODXL) were performed in ox-LDL-induced HCAECs. Subsequently, HCAECs were subjected to co-culture with PLT-EVs, followed by detection of the expression patterns of key pro-inflammatory factors. Either miR-34c-5p mimic or PLT-EVs harboring miR-34c-5p attenuated the ox-LDL-evoked inflammation in HCAECs by suppressing interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). By blocking the P38 MAPK signaling pathway, miR-34c-5p-mediated depletion of PODXL contributed to protection against ox-LDL-induced inflammation. In vitro findings were further validated by findings observed in ApoE knock-out mice. Additionally, miR-34c-5p in PLT-EVs showed an athero-protective role in the murine model. CONCLUSION: Altogether, our findings highlighted that miR-34c-5p in PLT-EVs could alleviate inflammation response in HCAECs by targeting PODXL and inactivation of the P38 MAPK signaling pathway.

RESUMO

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated tumor development in a range of different cancers, including pancreatic cancer (PC). Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a drug-resistant cancer cell subset, drive tumor progression in PC. In this work, we aimed to investigate the mechanism by which lncRNA LINC00261 affects the biological functions of CSCs during the progression of PC. Microarray analysis of differentially expressed genes and lncRNAs suggested that LINC00261 is downregulated in PC. Both LINC00261 and ITIH5 were confirmed to be downregulated in PC cells and PC stem cells. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function investigations were performed to analyze their effects on cell proliferation, drug resistance, cell cycle distribution, self-renewal, invasion, and ultimately overall tumorigenicity. These experiments revealed that the expression of stem cell markers was reduced, and cell proliferation, self-renewal ability, cell invasion, drug resistance, and tumorigenicity were all suppressed by upregulation of LINC00261 or ITIH5. The results of dual-luciferase reporter gene, ChIP, and RIP assays indicated that LINC00261 binds directly to GATA6, increasing its activity at the ITIH5 promoter. The presence of LINC00261 and GATA6 inhibited the self-renewal and tumorigenesis of PC stem cells, while silence of ITIH5 rescued those functions. Collectively, this study identifies the tumor suppressive activity of LINC00261 in PC, showing that this lncRNA limits the functions of PC stem through an ITIH5/GATA6 regulatory pathway.

RESUMO

AIM: To explore the effect of the abstracts of lumbricus on the secretion of NO and TNF-alpha by mouse Mphi s and splenocytes. METHODS: Murine Mphi s and spleen cell were co-cultured with various doses of lumbricus abstracts for 24 hours and then the supernate was collected. The levels of NO and TNF-alpha were detected by diazotization reaction and MTT colorimetry, respectively. RESULTS: Compared with control group, 0.1 g/L of lumbricus abstracts could increase the NO level and antagonize the inhibition of dexamethasone(Dex). 1 x 10(-4), 1 x 10(-3) g/L of lumbricus abstracts could increase TNF-alpha level and also antagonize the inhibition of Dex on the secretion of TNF-alpha by Mphi s and splenic cells. CONCLUSION: The abstracts of lumbricus can activate Mphi s and splenic cells to secrete NO and TNF-alpha and antagonize the inhibition effect of Dex on these cells.
