dNK derived IFN-γ mediates VSMC migration and apoptosis via the induction of LncRNA MEG3: A role in uterovascular transformation

IntroductionAppropriate spiral artery remodeling is critical for successful fetal development and pregnancy outcomes. The vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) loss and separation, involving cell apoptosis and migration, plays an important role in this process. Decidual natural killer cells (dNK)-derived interferon gamma (IFN-γ), a key regulator of uterine arterial remodeling, can facilitate separation of VSMC layers, however, the specific mechanisms of it action are unknown. Long non-coding RNA MEG3 functions as tumor suppressor by regulating apoptosis and migration. Moreover, IFN-γ has been shown to influence cell vitality through regulating MEG3 expression. However, the functional role of dNK derived IFN-γ and MEG3 on VSMC viability, as well as the relationship between IFN-γ and MEG3 in VSMCs, has not been completely elaborated.MethodsThe up-regulation strategies and reagent treatment were employed to detect the effects of MEG3 and dNK/IFN-γ on VSMC proliferation, apoptosis and migration. At the same time, MEG3, p53 and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) expressions were investigated.Results: dNK/IFN-γ treatment led to up-regulation of MEG3 expression in VSMCs. Both MEG3 over-expression and dNK/IFN-γ treatment inhibited VSMC proliferation, stimulated VSMC migration and resulted in a small but significant induction of VSMC apoptosis, as well as promoted p53 and MMP-2 expression in VSMCs.DiscussionMEG3 is regulated by dNK-derived IFN-γ and regulates VSMC migration and apoptosis. Therefore, it may be an important positive regulator in VSMC loss from the maternal uterine spiral arteries during vascular transformation.

MicroRNA and long noncoding RNA involvement in gout and prospects for treatment

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are both types of noncoding RNA. They have been demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of various human inflammatory diseases and can be used as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, and even be developed into new drugs. Gout is an arthritic disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystal (MSU) in the joints, which can lead to acute inflammation and damage adjacent tissue. Recent studies have shown that miRNAs and lncRNAs mediate the progress of gout. Based on the pathogenesis of gout, including hyperuricemia, MSU deposition, acute gouty arthritis and gouty bone erosion, this paper reviewed the role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in the processes and the possible therapeutic targets of miRNAs and lncRNAs in gout.
