Reduced miR-26a and miR-26b expression contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis via the promotion of p65 translocation

چکیده
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint disease, the etiology of which is complex. Disturbance to proinflammatory and anti‑inflammatory signaling pathways is a major cause of OA. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miR) are a group of endogenous, short, non‑coding RNAs, the expression profile of which is disturbed in the cartilage of patients with OA. To determine the function of miRNAs during the progression of OA, the present study detected the expression levels of nine candidate miRNAs in cartilage samples from 33 patients with OA. The results demonstrated that miR‑26a, miR‑26b, miR‑138 and miR‑140 were downregulated in patients with OA. As predicted by a bioinformatics analysis and confirmed by luciferase assay and western blotting, the present study revealed that miR‑26a and miR‑26b are able to suppress karyopherin subunit alpha 3 (KPNA3) expression by targeting its 3'‑untranslated region. Since KPNA3 is an important mediator that modulates nuclear factor (NF)‑κB p65 translocation, the present study examined the impact of miR‑26a and miR‑26b on NF‑κB signaling. The results indicated that transfection of cells with a miR‑26a or miR‑26b inhibitor may promote NF‑κB p65 translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus via the upregulation of KPNA3. Furthermore, the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase‑3, ‑9, ‑13 and cyclooxygenase‑2 were upregulated following transfection with a miR‑26a or miR‑26b inhibitor. These results indicate that downregulation of miR‑26a and miR‑26b may contribute to the pathogenesis of OA via promotion of the NF‑κB signaling pathway. The present study sheds light on the pathogenesis of OA and may provide a target for the development of therapeutic methods for the treatment of OA.

Tumor-suppressive miR-26a and miR-26b inhibit cell aggressiveness by regulating FUT4 in colorectal cancer
Metastasis is a multistep molecular network process, which is the major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Increased expression of fucosyltransferase4 (FUT4) has been reported to be associated with the invasive and metastatic properties of CRC. Here to identify potential key mi...
متن کاملmiR-26b enhances radiosensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by targeting EphA2
Objective(s): Although low-dose radiotherapy (RT) that involves low collateral damage is more suitable for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than traditional high-dose RT, but to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect with low-dose RT, it is necessary to sensitize HCC cells to irradiation. This study was aimed to determine whether radiosensitivity of HCC cells can be enhanced using miR-26b by tar...

Our past studies of microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures of cancers including prostate cancer (PCa) revealed that microRNA-26a and microRNA-26b (miR-26a and miR-26b) were significantly downregulated in cancer tissues. In the present study, we found that restoration of miR-26a or miR-26b significantly inhibited PCa cell invasion. Gene expression data and in silico analysis showed that the gene...

Obesity is causally linked to osteoarthritis (OA), with the mechanism being not fully elucidated. miRNAs (miRs) are pivotal regulators of various diseases in multiple tissues, including inflammation in the chondrocytes. In the present study, we for the first time identified the expression of miR-26a in mouse chondrocytes. Decreased level of miR-26a was correlated to increased chronic inflammati...
متن کاملOmega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Upregulate 15-PGDH Expression in Cholangiocarcinoma Cells by Inhibiting miR-26a/b Expression.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a proinflammatory lipid mediator that promotes cancer growth. The 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catalyzes oxidation of the 15(S)-hydroxyl group of PGE2, leading to its inactivation. Therefore, 15-PGDH induction may offer a strategy to treat cancers that are driven by PGE2, such as human cholangiocarcinoma. Here, we report that omega-3 polyunsaturated...
