Article Abstract

Resistance to first-line chemotherapies like gemcitabine contributes to high disease lethality in pancreatic cancer. By microarray and qRT-PCR, we observed significant downregulation of microRNA-210 in gemcitabine-resistant cells. The overexpression of microRNA-210 was toxic to gemcitabine-resistant cells and enhanced gemcitabine sensitivity. MicroRNA-210 overexpression induced caspase-3-mediated apoptosis, and inhibited colony formation. Computationally, ABCC5, a highly expressed gene in our array data, was identified as a potential target of microRNA-210 and the overexpression of ABCC5 in gemcitabine-resistant cells was confirmed by qRT-PCR. MicroRNA-210 overexpression reduced ABCC5 mRNA levels and inhibited a luciferase reporter expressing the ABCC5 3' UTR. The expression pattern of microRNA-210 and ABCC5 was mirrored in all of 5 pancreatic cancer cell lines used. Likewise, microRNA-210 transfection nearly totally inhibited tumor xenograft growth, proliferation and metastasis without obvious side effects in vivo. Also, an absence or low expression of microRNA-210 correlated to high ABCC5 expression in the majority of malignant patient tissues from a total of 101 patient tissues examined. Our observations provide at first glance, an important function for microRNA-210 in regulation of gemcitabine responsiveness by it's target gene ABCC5.

MicroRNA-210 mediates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension by targeting mitochondrial bioenergetics and mtROS flux.

Aim: Chronic hypoxia is a common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We test the hypothesis that microRNA-210 (miR-210) mediates hypoxia-induced PH by targeting mitochondrial metabolism and increasing reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production in the lungs.

Methods: Adult wildtype (WT) or miR-210 knockout (KO) mice were exposed to hypoxia (10.

Management of chronic obesity-associated metabolic disorders is a key challenge for biomedical researchers. During chronic obesity, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) undergoes substantial transformation characterized by a unique lipid-rich hypoxic AT microenvironment which plays a crucial role in VAT dysfunction, leading to insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes. Here, we demonstrate that obese AT microenvironment triggers the release of miR-210-3p microRNA-loaded extracellular vesicles from adipose tissue macrophages, which disseminate miR-210-3p to neighboring adipocytes, skeletal muscle cells, and hepatocytes through paracrine and endocrine actions, thereby influencing insulin sensitivity.

MiR-210-3p enhances intermittent hypoxia-induced tumor progression via inhibition of E2F3.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists studied the relationship between a specific molecule called miR-210-3p and cancer growth in patients with a sleep condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
  • They found that higher levels of miR-210-3p in lung cancer patients with OSA were linked to worse sleep, like having low oxygen levels during sleep.
  • The research showed that when there is less oxygen (intermittent hypoxia), miR-210-3p helps tumors grow more by lowering a protein called E2F3, suggesting that targeting miR-210-3p may help treat these tumors.

Object: This study sought to elucidate the role of microRNA-210 (miR-210) in the occurrence and development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods: The levels of lncRNA miR-210HG and miR-210 in LUAD tissues and corresponding normal tissues were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of the anti-hypoxia factor hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot.

MicroRNAs (miRs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis; however, the role of miR-210 in endometriosis remains unclear. This study explores the role of miR-210 and its targets, IGFBP3 and COL8A1, in ectopic lesion growth and development. Matched eutopic (EuE) and ectopic (EcE) endometrial samples were obtained for analysis from baboons and women with endometriosis.
