ABSTRACT
Adipogenesis is a process of preadipocyte differentiation that requires action of numerous factors. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1) possesses the N-terminus of the PilT protein (PilT N-terminus or PIN domain) that has RNase properties. This protein degrades transcripts coding for inflammation and differentiation - related proteins. Moreover, MCPIP1 is a broad suppressor of the miRNA biogenesis. We previously found that MCPIP1 degrades transcript encoding CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein Beta (C/EBPß) and influences adipogenesis. Subsequently, we aimed to determine adipocyte miRNA expression profile in differentiating mouse preadipocytes, 3T3-L1, by overexpressing MCPIP1. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NSG) we showed that MCPIP1 overexpression results in modulated levels of 58 miRNAs in adipocytes on day 2 of differentiation. Among them, 30 miRNAs showed significantly reduced levels and 28 showed increased levels in comparison to control. Approximately one third of the modulated miRNAs were not previously reported to be involved in adipocytes differentiation. Our analysis revealed that 24 down-regulated and 23 up-regulated miRNAs (at least 1.5-fold) influence 19 signaling pathways that are important for adipogenesis. Furthermore, reduced miRNA levels result in the up-regulation of their targets. By using luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated that miR-32-5p and miR-9-3p directly target the 3'UTR region of Mapk8 and Tiam1, respectively. In addition, activation of MAP kinases pathway (JNK and p38), proposed as being regulated by down-regulated miRNAs, was higher in WTMCPIP1 than in D141NMCPIP1 or control 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our results indicate a considerable impact of MCPIP1 on miRNAs levels and its significance in adipogenesis.
