Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) are a small, endogenous non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation of many biological processes, including embryo implantation and placental development. In our previous study, miR-146a-5p was found expressed higher in the serum exosomes of pregnant sows than non-pregnant. The research on miR-146a-5p has been mainly related to human diseases, but there are few studies on its effects on the reproduction of sows in early pregnancy.

Objective: In this article, our motivation is to study the role of miR-146a-5p in the early pregnancy of sows on the cell proliferetion and apoptosis by targeting SMAD3 and SMAD4.

Methods: Bioinformatics software was used to identify the target genes of miR-146a-5p. The wildtype and mutant-type recombinant plasmids of dual-luciferase reporter with 3'-UTR of Smad3 or 3'- UTR of Smad4 were constructed, and co-transfected in porcine kidney cell (PK-15 cell) with miR- 146a-5p mimic, mimic-NC(M-NC), inhibitor and inhibitor-NC(IN-NC), then dual-luciferase activity analysis, qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to verify the target genes. After the transfection of BeWo choriocarcinoma cell (BeWo cell) with miR-146a-5p mimic, M-NC, inhibitor and IN-NC, the mRNA expression of Caspase-3, BAX and Bcl-2 was measured using qRT-PCR, and the cell proliferation was measured using CCK-8 kit.

Results: The luciferase, mRNA and protein expression of Smad3 in PK-15 cells treated by Smad3- 3'-UTR-W co-transfected with miR-146a-5p mimic were significantly lower than that with miR- 146a-5p M-NC, and the results of Smad4 were similar to Smad3, but the protein expression had a trend to lower in mimic group. The expression level of Bcl-2 in the miR-146a-5p mimic group was significantly lower than that in the miR-146a-5p M-NC group, but the expression pattern of Caspase-3 was just opposite. The mimic of miR-146a-5p reduced the proliferation of BeWo cells, however the inhibitor increased.

Conclusion: Smad3 and Smad4 are the direct target genes of miR-146a-5p. The expression of Smad3 and Smad4 were affected by the mimic and inhibitor of miR-146a-5p. miR-146a-5p affects cell apoptosis and proliferation by regulating their target genes. This study provided new data to understand the regulation mechanism of early pregnancy in sows.

miR-146a-5p通过靶向SMAD3和SMAD4来调节细胞的增殖和凋亡。

背景:microRNA(miRNA)是一种小的内源非编码RNA,与许多生物过程(包括胚胎植入和胎盘发育)的转录后基因调控有关。在我们先前的研究中,发现怀孕母猪的血清外泌体中的miR-146a-5p的表达高于未怀孕的母猪。关于miR-146a-5p的研究主要涉及人类疾病,但关于其对妊娠早期母猪繁殖的影响的研究很少。

目的:在本文中,我们的动机是通过靶向SMAD3和SMAD4来研究miR-146a-5p在母猪早期妊娠中对细胞增殖和凋亡的作用。

方法:使用生物信息学软件鉴定miR-146a-5p的靶基因。构建了具有Smad3的3'-UTR或Smad4的3'-UTR的双荧光素酶报告基因的野生型和突变型重组质粒,并与miR- 146a-5p在猪肾细胞(PK-15细胞)中共转染。模拟,模拟NC(M-NC),抑制剂和抑制剂NC(IN-NC),然后进行双荧光素酶活性分析,qRT-PCR和Western blot验证靶基因。用miR-146a-5p模拟物,M-NC,抑制剂和IN-NC转染BeWo绒毛膜癌细胞(BeWo细胞)后,使用qRT-PCR测量Caspase-3,BAX和Bcl-2的mRNA表达,并使用CCK-8试剂盒测量细胞增殖。

结果:与miR-146a-5p M-NC共转染的Smad3- 3'-UTR-W共转染的PK-15细胞中,Smad3的荧光素酶,mmad和蛋白表达明显低于miR-146a-5p M-NC。 ,并且Smad4的结果与Smad3相似,但是在模拟组中蛋白质表达有降低的趋势。miR-146a-5p模拟组中Bcl-2的表达水平明显低于miR-146a-5p M-NC组,但Caspase-3的表达模式恰好相反。miR-146a-5p的模拟物减少了BeWo细胞的增殖,但抑制剂增加了。

结论:Smad3和Smad4是miR-146a-5p的直接靶基因。Smad3和Smad4的表达受miR-146a-5p的模拟物和抑制剂的影响。miR-146a-5p通过调节靶基因来影响细胞凋亡和增殖。该研究为了解母猪早期妊娠的调控机制提供了新的数据。
