Extracellular vesicle dynamics in COPD : understanding the role of miR-422a, SPP1 and IL-17 A in smoking-related pathology
© 2024. The Author(s)..
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) induced by smoking poses a significant global health challenge. Recent findings highlight the crucial role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating miRNA regulatory networks across various diseases. This study utilizes the GEO database to uncover distinct expression patterns of miRNAs and mRNAs, offering a comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of smoking-induced COPD. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms by which extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate the molecular network of miR-422a-SPP1 to delay the onset of COPD caused by smoking.
METHODS: The smoking-related miRNA chip GSE38974-GPL7723 was obtained from the GEO database, and candidate miRs were retrieved from the Vesiclepedia database. Downstream target genes of the candidate miRs were predicted using mRNA chip GSE38974-GPL4133, TargetScan, miRWalk, and RNA22 databases. This prediction was integrated with COPD-related genes from the GeneCards database, downstream target genes predicted by online databases, and key genes identified in the core module of WGCNA analysis to obtain candidate genes. The candidate genes were subjected to KEGG functional enrichment analysis using the "clusterProfiler" package in R language, and a protein interaction network was constructed. In vitro experiments involved overexpressing miRNA or extracting extracellular vesicles from bronchial epithelial cell-derived exosomes, co-culturing them with myofibroblasts to observe changes in the expression levels of the miR-422a-SPP1-IL-17 A regulatory network, and assessing protein levels of fibroblast differentiation-related factors α-SMA and collagen I using Western blot analysis.
RESULTS: The differential gene analysis of chip GSE38974-GPL7723 and the retrieval results from the Vesiclepedia database identified candidate miRs, specifically miR-422a. Subsequently, an intersection was taken among the prediction results from TargetScan, miRWalk, and RNA22 databases, the COPD-related gene retrieval results from GeneCards database, the WGCNA analysis results of chip GSE38974-GPL4133, and the differential gene analysis results. This intersection, combined with KEGG functional enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction analysis, led to the final screening of the target gene SPP1 and its upstream regulatory gene miR-422a. KEGG functional enrichment analysis of mRNAs correlated with SPP1 revealed the IL-17 signaling pathway involved. In vitro experiments demonstrated that miR-422a inhibition targets suppressed the expression of SPP1 in myofibroblasts, inhibiting differentiation phenotype. Bronchial epithelial cells, under cigarette smoke extract (CSE) stress, could compensate for myofibroblast differentiation phenotype by altering the content of miR-422a in their Extracellular Vesicles (EVs).
CONCLUSION: The differential gene analysis of Chip GSE38974-GPL7723 and the retrieval results from the Vesiclepedia database identified candidate miRs, specifically miR-422a. Further analysis involved the intersection of predictions from TargetScan, miRWalk, and RNA22 databases, gene search on COPD-related genes from the GeneCards database, WGCNA analysis from Chip GSE38974-GPL4133, and differential gene analysis, combined with KEGG functional enrichment analysis and protein interaction analysis. Ultimately, the target gene SPP1 and its upstream regulatory gene miR-422a were selected. KEGG functional enrichment analysis on mRNAs correlated with SPP1 revealed the involvement of the IL-17 signaling pathway. In vitro experiments showed that miR-422a targeted inhibition suppressed the expression of SPP1 in myofibroblast cells, inhibiting differentiation phenotype. Furthermore, bronchial epithelial cells could compensate for myofibroblast differentiation phenotype under cigarette smoke extract (CSE) stress by altering the miR-422a content in their extracellular vesicles (EVs).
