14、.The pathogenesis of PAH includes sustained vasoconstriction and abnormal progressive fixed vascular remodelling.This is accompanied by endothelial dysfunction and activation of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells2.PAH may be initiated by loss of endothelial integrity and dysfunction resulting in ex

15、posure of underlying cells to circulating factors,leading to proliferation and apoptosis resistance in the adventitia,smooth muscle media and the formation of a neointima3.Clinically,PAH is subdivided into several groups,including idiopathic(IPAH),heritable(HPAH),and PAH associated with other diseas

16、es(APAH).Female gender is considered a risk factor per se for all PAH subtypes,since it is more frequent in women than men4.Most cases of HPAH(70%),and some IPAH cases(approximately 20%),are caused by mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor gene(BMPR2)that impairs BMP signalling

17、 pathway via Smad1,Smad5 and Smad8,and leads to an increased activity of TGF-pathway via non-canonical and canonical Smad2/3 signalling5.However,since PAH is incompletely penetrant,BMPR2 mutations alone may not be sufficient to cause disease,so that a second hit including other genetic and/or enviro

18、nmental factors,may be required for the clinical manifestation of PAH6.Triggers for disease may include inflammation,hypoxia and shear stress or vascular injury.MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression by recognizing the 3-untranslated regions(3-UTR)of targ

21、l transcriptional machinery8.Although little is known about the transcriptional regulation of miRNA expression,this process has been proposed to be orchestrated by the cellular pool of transcription factors that interact with the promoter region,similarly to protein coding genes.Recent studies have

22、developed bioinformatics algorithms to predict the miRNA core promoters,focused on the upstream sequence of the precursor(pri-miRNA)9.In the particular case of intergenic miRNA,the promoter region is predicted to be 20 kb upstream of the pri-miRNA and exhibits similar conservation patterns to the pr

23、omoters of protein coding genes.Nonetheless,only a few papers have reported experimental evidence that validate those regions as core promoters.In blood vessels,one of the most studied miRNA expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC)is the miR-143/145 cluster,which has a pivotal role in VSMC di

24、fferentiation and disease10-12.MiR-145 expression has been reported to control VSMC phenotype,restoring the contractile phenotype in atherosclerotic plaques13 and coronary collateral growth in the metabolic syndrome14.Expression of the miR-143/145 cluster is decreased in conditions associated with a

25、cute and chronic vascular stress,such as aortic aneurysms12 and coronary artery disease15.MiR-145-5p is able to control vascular neointimal lesion formation16.Up-regulation of miR-145-5p was observed in pulmonary artery VSMCs and in lung tissue from patients with idiopathic and heritable pulmonary a

26、rterial hypertension(PAH)17.However,the transcriptional regulation of the cluster has not been defined with respect to mediators of PAH nor has the role of miR-143 been addressed in PAH.Interestingly,despite their predominantly intracellular localization,miRNAs have been recently found in extracellu

27、lar compartments,such as exosomes18.These exosomes represent a specific subtype of secreted membrance vesicles of 30-130 nm formed through the fusion of multivesicular endosomes with the plasma membrane19.Exosomes convey a wide array of molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids,including mRNAs an

32、riptional regulation of the miR-143/145 cluster.According to miRStart data and using the human genome assembly GRCh38,the transcription start site(TSS,position+1)is likely to be located at position 149406877 in the plus strand of chromosome 5,22,041 bp upstream of the pri-miR143 precursor.Supporting

33、 this TSS,we identified a local TATA-box at position(26)(TATAAG),as well as 2 likely CAAT-boxes(CCAAT)at positions(94)and(54),and an E-box at position(113)(CACGTG)(Figure 1A).We selected a GC-rich(58.5%)region of 1.5 kb spanning from position(1354)to(+202),since the alignment with the homologous reg

34、ion from other mammalian species was strong(match 60%).A proximal region of 0.5 kb was also selected from(304)to(+202)for mapping transcriptional activity.Despite some GC-rich regions in the promoter,no putative CpG islands were predicted and experimentally the DNA demethylating reagent 5-Aza-2-deox

35、ycytidine did not affect the pri-miR-143/145 expression either in PASMC or PAEC/HUVEC(Online Figure I).Analysis of TF binding sitesThe in silico analysis of the 1.5kb sequence of miR-143/145 promoter revealed a number of putative binding sites for transcriptional factors(TFs).We treated PASMC with t

36、heir respective ligands,and pri-miR precursors and mature forms were detected by qPCR and luciferase reporter assays.Based on 3 predicted estrogen receptor binding sites at position(1129),(801)and(14),we treated PASMC with estradiol(E2).E2 induced the expression of both pri-miR-143 and pri-miR-145 a

37、fter 24 h(Figure 1B).The respective mature lead strand miRNAs were upregulated correspondingly(Figure 1C).Reporter vectors confirmed the increased transcriptional activation of the miR-143/145 promoter in response to E2(Figure 1D).Using site-directed mutagenesis,we studied which of the 3 ER sites ar

38、e necessary for ER-dependent induction of miR-143.We identified that the sites at positions(801)and(14)are required since the activity of the promoter is not enhanced when these sites are mutated Figure 1E).We also identified several putative binding sites for the retinoic acid receptor,which is wel

39、l known to act in combination with the liver X receptor(LXR/RXR)25.PASMC treated with 9-cis-retinoic acid(9cRA)and/or 22R-hydroxycholesterol(22R)upregulated both precursor and mature forms of the cluster(Figure 1F and 1G).The transcriptional activity of the reporter vectors showed a small but signif

40、icant induction for the minimal promoter(p0.5-luc)but this was more marked for the full-length sequence(p1.5-luc)(Figure 1H).Activity was dependent on the binding sites located at(673),(4)and(+98)(Figure 1I).We also identified 2 putative hypoxia response elements(HRE)and,upon stimulation,we observed

41、 a 2-fold induction in pri-miR-143 expression and moderate induction for pri-miR-145 in PASMC cultured in hypoxic conditions(Figure 1J).Expression of mature miR-143-5p and-3p were upregulated in the same pattern but only miR-145-5p and not miR-145-3p was induced(Figure 1K).Moreover,both minimal and

42、full-length reporters responded to hypoxia(Figure 1L).Mutation analysis confirmed that the HRE site in(113)that overlaps the basal transcription element E-box was critical since the minimal Deng et al.Page 4Circ Res.Author manuscript;available in PMC 2016 April 23.Europe PMC Funders Author Manuscrip

43、ts Europe PMC Funders Author Manuscriptspromoter p0.5-luc maintains the response to hypoxia(Figure 1M).We also searched for STAT sites in the MIR143HG promoter.It was predicted in silico that several consensus sites for STAT5A,STAT5B,STAT1 and STAT3 were in the region between(1354)and(304).None were

44、 located in the minimal 0.5kb region.The miR-143/145 promoter responds to TGF-Several putative binding sites for Smad proteins for both TGF-and BMPs signalling pathways were localised(Figure 1A).TGF-1 increased the expression of precursor and the 4 mature forms of the miR-143/145 cluster(Figures 2A

45、and 2B)in PASMC.Moreover,treatment of cells with SB525334,a specific inhibitor of the TGF-receptor ALK5,completely abolished this induction(Online Figure II).In contrast,BMP4 treatment did not affect the basal levels of the precursor forms or the mature miRNAs(Figure 2A and 2B).We therefore focused

46、on 2 putative Smad3 binding sites.Because TGF-1 induced the transcriptional activity of the full length reporter but not the minimal p0.5-luc construction(Figure 2C),we assayed the Smad3 element at position(592).Site-directed mutagenesis of this Smad3 binding site abolished the activity of the repor

47、ter in response to TGF-1(Figure 2D).Next,using release 138 of the 1000 Genomes Project26 on Ensembl we found 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)affecting the Smad3 binding site at position(592).One of these was outside the consensus motif(rs145177914,CT).However,the remaining two disrupted the S

48、mad3 binding site(rs12517403,TC;and rs116423755,GA).To test the functionality of this,a Smad3 decoy assay was designed using FAM-labelled PTO-ODN bearing the SNPs.The wild type and a scramble sequence were used as controls.A dose-response assay co-transfecting WT and mock probes in PASMC,with or wit

49、hout TGF-1 treatment,demonstrated that increasing WT probe reduces the expression of pri-miR-143 and pri-miR-145,as well as Col1A1 as a TGF-1 positive control,validating this sequence as a Smad3 binding site(Online Figure III).Furthermore,PTO-ODN probes bearing Smad3 SNPs were unable to block the TG

50、F-1 stimulus,confirming the functionality of that Smad3 site(Figure 2E and 2F).Manipulation of miR-143/145 cluster affects PASMCs migrationWe sought to assess the impact of promoter activation on PASMC migration,proliferation and apoptosis.We first sought to assess the effect of wound assay on induc
