MiR542-3p Regulates the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition by Directly Targeting BMP7 in NRK52e.

چکیده
Accumulating evidence demonstrated that miRNAs are highly involved in kidney fibrosis and Epithelial-Eesenchymal Transition (EMT), however, the mechanisms of miRNAs in kidney fibrosis are poorly understood. In this work, we identified that miR542-3p could promote EMT through down-regulating bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) expression by targeting BMP7 3'UTR. Firstly, real-time PCR results showed that miR542-3p was significantly up-regulated in kidney fibrosis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, Western blot results demonstrated that miR542-3p may promote EMT in the NRK52e cell line. In addition, we confirmed that BMP7, which played a crucial role in anti-kidney fibrosis and suppressed the progression of EMT, was a target of miR542-3p through Dual-Luciferase reporter assay, as did Western blot analysis. The effects of miR542-3p on regulating EMT could also be suppressed by transiently overexpressing BMP7 in NRK52e cells. Taken together, miR542-3p may be a critical mediator of the induction of EMT via directly targeting BMP7.

miR-185-3p regulates nasopharyngeal carcinoma radioresistance by targeting WNT2B in vitro
Aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression contributes to a series of malignant cancer behaviors, including radioresistance. Our previous study showed differential expression of miR-185-3p in post-radiation nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. To investigate the role of miR-185-3p in NPC radioresistance, CNE-2 and 5-8F cells were transfected with miR-185-3p mimic and miR-185-3p inhibitor, respective...
متن کاملMiR-338-3p inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer cells by targeting ZEB2 and MACC1/Met/Akt signaling
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and are associated with metastasis in gastric cancer (GC). MiR-338-3p has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in GC. In the present study, we show that miR-338-3p inhibited the migration and invasion of GC cells in vitro. Knocking down miR-338-3p in GC cells led to mesenchymal-like changes. MiR-338-3p in...
متن کاملPaired box 2 induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in normal renal tubular epithelial cells of rats.
Epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) is considered to be a crucial stage of renal fibrosis. Previous studies have indicated that paired box 2 (PAX2) affects renal fibrosis, likely by regulating EMT. Therefore, we examined whether PAX2 directly induces normal renal tubular EMT in vitro. Recombinant PAX2 plasmid was transfected into a renal tubular epithelial cell line (NRK52E) derived from no...
متن کاملNDRG2 Regulates the Expression of Genes Involved in Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition of Prostate Cancer Cells
Background: Metastasis is the main cause of prostate cancer (PCa) death. The inhibitory effect of N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) on the invasiveness properties of PCa cells has been demonstrated previously. However, its underlying mechanisms have not yet been investigated. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of NDRG2 overexpression on the expression of genes involved i...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is closely associated with tumorigenesis and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. It has been recently reported that EBV encodes 44 mature miRNAs, some of which were found to promote tumor development by targeting virus-infected host genes or self-viral genes. However, few targets of E...
