Background:β-adrenoceptors play a crucial regulatory role in blood vessel endothelial cells. Isoprenaline (ISO, a β-adrenergic agonist) has been reported to promote angiogenesis through upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression; however, the underlying mechanism remains to be investigated. It is widely accepted that certain noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), can regulate endothelial cell behavior, including their involvement in angiogenesis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether noncoding RNAs participate in ISO-mediated angiogenesis using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).Methods:We evaluated VEGF-A messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels in ISO-treated HUVECs by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. To establish whether noncoding RNAs are associated with ISO-mediated angiogenesis, we measured expression of the miRNAs miR-210, miR-21, and miR-1, as well as that of the lncRNAs growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5), maternally expressed 3 (MEG3), and metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in HUVECs exposed to ISO. Furthermore, to ascertain its importance in ISO-mediated angiogenesis, we constructed the HUVECs with overexpressing miR-210 and detected the subsequent expression of VEGF-A and noncoding RNAs. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 16.0 software. Intergroup comparisons were carried out by one-way analysis of variance.Results:VEGF-A mRNA levels were elevated in the ISO group (1.57 ± 0.09) compared to those in the control group (P < 0.01). Moreover, concentrations of VEGF-A in culture supernatants significantly differed between the control (113.00 ± 19.21 pg/ml) and ISO groups (287.00 ± 20.27 pg/ml; P < 0.01). Expression of miR-1, miR-21, and miR-210 was higher (3.89 ± 0.44, 2.87 ± 087, and 3.33 ± 1.31, respectively) in ISO-treated cells than that in controls (P < 0.01), whereas that of GAS5 and MEG3 (0.22 ± 0.10 and 0.58 ± 0.16, respectively) was lower as a result of ISO administration (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of MALAT1 between the groups. Interestingly, miR-210 overexpression heightened the levels of VEGF-A and miR-21 (5.87 ± 1.24 and 2.74 ± 1.15, respectively; P < 0.01) and reduced those of GAS5 and MEG3 (0.19 ± 0.01 and 0.09 ± 0.05, respectively; P < 0.01).Conclusions:ISO-mediated angiogenesis was associated with altered expression of miR-210, miR-21, and the lncRNAs GAS5 and MEG3. The effects of miR-210 on the expression of VEGF-A and noncoding RNAs were similar to those of ISO, indicating that it might play an important role in ISO-mediated angiogenesis.

“…In accord, Csn5 deficiency decreased and MLN4924 stabilized HIF-1α in LPS-elicited macrophages (and endothelial cells). Both miR-146a and -21a expression levels are coregulated by HIF-1α (55,56). Decreased miR-21 and -146a levels in Csn5-deficient macrophages might thus in part be explained by reduced HIF-1α transcriptional activity.…”

Constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) signalosome 5 (CSN5), an isopeptidase that removes neural precursor cell-expressed, developmentally down-regulated 8 (NEDD8) moieties from cullins (thus termed "deNEDDylase") and a subunit of the cullin-RING E3 ligase-regulating COP9 signalosome complex, attenuates proinflammatory NF-κB signaling. We previously showed that CSN5 is up-regulated in human atherosclerotic arteries. Here, we investigated the role of CSN5 in atherogenesis in vivo by using mice with myeloidspecific Csn5 deletion. Genetic deletion of Csn5 in Apoe −/− mice markedly exacerbated atherosclerotic lesion formation. This was broadly observed in aortic root, arch, and total aorta of male mice, whereas the effect was less pronounced and site-specific in females. Mechanistically, Csn5 KO potentiated NF-κB signaling and proinflammatory cytokine expression in macrophages, whereas HIF-1α levels were reduced. Inversely, inhibition of NEDDylation by MLN4924 blocked proinflammatory gene expression and NF-κB activation while enhancing HIF-1α levels and the expression of M2 marker Arginase 1 in inflammatory-elicited macrophages. MLN4924 further attenuated the expression of chemokines and adhesion molecules in endothelial cells and reduced NF-κB activation and monocyte arrest on activated endothelium in vitro. In vivo, MLN4924 reduced LPS-induced inflammation, favored an antiinflammatory macrophage phenotype, and decreased the progression of early atherosclerotic lesions in mice. On the contrary, MLN4924 treatment increased neutrophil and monocyte counts in blood and had no net effect on the progression of more advanced lesions. Our data show that CSN5 is atheroprotective. We conclude that MLN4924 may be useful in preventing early atherogenesis, whereas selectively promoting CSN5-mediated deNEDDylation may be beneficial in all stages of atherosclerosis.A therosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases. As a chronic inflammatory condition of the vessel wall, atherosclerosis is characterized by endothelial cell activation resulting in the secretion of chemoattractant proteins such as CCL2 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and by increased expression of adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). These molecules synergize to sequentially recruit inflammatory cells such as monocytes and T lymphocytes into the vessel wall (1-3).The transcription factor NF-κB plays a crucial role in vascular inflammation and atherogenesis, e.g., by controlling the expression of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules that orchestrate the recruitment and adhesion of leukocytes. Also, numerous genes that regulate differentiation, survival, and proliferation of vascular and immune cells involved in the inflammatory response are targets of NF-κB (4). In resting cells, the NF-κB dimer, p65 and p50, is inactivated by binding to the inhibitor of κB (IκB)-α protein. Inflammatory challenges such as LPS or TNF-α exposure trigg...

“…miR-21 shows features of oncomirs by targeting many tumor suppressor genes related to cell proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion in multiple histologic types of cancer, including OSCC (42,43). Recently, studies have demonstrated that hypoxia induces miR-21 expression in a HIF-1a-dependent manner in pancreatic cancer cells (44) and cardiomyocytes (36). In contrast, in renal cancer, it has been suggested that the dysregulation of miR-21 is HIF-independent (45).…”

Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors and is associated with aggressiveness and poor patient outcomes. Exosomes, initially considered to be cellular "garbage dumpsters," are now implicated in mediating interactions with the cellular environment. However, the mechanisms underlying the association between exosomes and hypoxia during cancer progression remain poorly understood. In this study, we found that exosomes derived from hypoxic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells increased the migration and invasion of OSCC cells in a HIF1a and HIF-2a-dependent manner. Given that exosomes have been shown to transport miRNAs to alter cellular functions, we performed miRNA sequencing of normoxic and hypoxic OSCCderived exosomes. Of the 108 miRNAs that were differentially expressed, miR-21 stood out as one of the most significantly upregulated miRNAs under hypoxic conditions. miR-21 depletion in hypoxic OSCC cells led to decreased miR-21 levels in exosomes and significantly reduced cell migration and invasion. Conversely, restoration of miR-21 expression in HIF-1a and HIF2a-depleted exosomes rescued OSCC cell migration and invasion. Moreover, exosomal miR-21 markedly enhanced snail and vimentin expression, while significantly decreasing E-cadherin levels in OSCC cells, in vitro and in vivo. Finally, circulating exosomal miR-21 levels were closely associated with HIF-1a/ HIF-2a expression, T stage, and lymph node metastasis in patients with OSCC. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the hypoxic microenvironment may stimulate tumor cells to generate miR-21-rich exosomes that are delivered to normoxic cells to promote prometastatic behaviors and prompt further investigation into the therapeutic value of exosome inhibition for cancer treatment.
