miR-4739 mediates pleural fibrosis by targeting bone morphogenetic protein 7Research in context
Background: Pleural fibrosis is defined as excessive depositions of matrix components that result in pleural tissue architecture destruction and dysfunction. In severe cases, the progression of pleural fibrosis leads to lung entrapment, resulting in dyspnea and respiratory failure. However, the mechanism of pleural fibrosis is poorly understood. Methods: miR-4739 levels were detected by miRNA array and real-time PCR. Real-time PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to identify the expression profile of indicators related to fibrosis. Target gene of miR-4739 and promoter activity assay was measured by using dual-luciferase reporter assay system. In vivo, pleural fibrosis was evaluated by Masson staining and miR-4739 level was detected by In situ hybridization histochemistry. Findings: We found that bleomycin induced up-regulation of miR-4739 in pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs). Over-regulated miR-4739 mediated mesothelial-mesenchymal transition and increased collagen-I synthesis in PMCs. Investigation on the clinical specimens revealed that high levels of miR-4739 and low levels of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) associated with pleural fibrosis in patients. Then we next identified that miR-4739 targeted and down-regulated BMP-7 which further resulted in unbalance between Smad1/5/9 and Smad2/3 signaling. Lastly, in vivo studies revealed that miR-4739 over-expression induced pleural fibrosis, and exogenous BMP-7 prevented pleural fibrosis in mice. Interpretation: Our data indicated that miR-4739 targets BMP-7 which mediates pleural fibrosis. The miR-4739/BMP-7 axis is a promising therapeutic target for the disease.

Table_1_The miR-4739/DLX3 Axis Modulates Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell (BMSC) Osteogenesis Affecting Osteoporosis Progression.docx
Osteoporosis is a complex multifactorial disorder linked to various risk factors and medical conditions. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) dysfunction potentially plays a critical role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. Herein, the study identified that miR-4739 was upregulated in BMSC cultures harvested from osteoporotic subjects. BMSCs were isolated from normal and osteoporotic bone marrow tissues and identified for their osteogenic differentiation potential. In osteoporotic BMSCs, miR-4739 overexpression significantly inhibited cell viability, osteoblast differentiation, mineralized nodule formation, and heterotopic bone formation, whereas miR-4739 inhibition exerted opposite effects. Through direct binding, miR-4739 inhibited distal-less homeobox 3 (DLX3) expression. In osteoporotic BMSCs, DLX3 knockdown also inhibited BMSC viability and osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, DLX3 knockdown partially attenuated the effects of miR-4739 inhibition upon BMSCs. Altogether, the miR-4739/DLX3 axis modulates the capacity of BMSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts, which potentially plays a role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. The in vivo and clinical functions of the miR-4739/DLX3 axis require further investigation.</p

Role of microRNA-4739 in enhancing cisplatin chemosensitivity by negative regulation of RHBDD2 in human cervical cancer cells
Abstract Background Cisplatin (DDP) is a widely used chemotherapy drug for advanced cervical cancer (CC), but resistance poses a significant challenge. While miR-4739 has been implicated in tumor development, its specific role in regulating DDP resistance in CC remains unclear. Methods We analyzed the expression levels of miR-4739 and RHBDD2 in DDP-resistant and DDP-sensitive CC tissues using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and assessed their correlation through Spearman’s correlation analysis. DDP-resistant CC cell lines (HeLa/DDP and SiHa/DDP) were established by gradually increasing DDP concentrations, followed by transfection with miR-4739 mimics, si-RHBDD2, or a RHBDD2 overexpression vector. A series of functional assays, including CCK-8 assay, colony formation, flow cytometry, and transwell assay were performed. The interaction between miR-4739 and RHBDD2 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. We examined the protein levels of RHBDD2, P-gP, MRP1, cleaved caspase-3, and E-cadherin through western blot analysis. Moreover, we generated xenograft tumors by injecting stably transfected HeLa/DDP cells into mice to compare their tumorigenesis capacity. Results We observed downregulation of miR-4739 and upregulation of RHBDD2 in DDP-resistant CC tissues and cell lines. MiR-4739 was shown to directly bind to RHBDD2 gene sequences to repress RHBDD2 expression in HeLa/DDP and SiHa/DDP cells. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that overexpressing miR-4739 overcame DDP resistance in CC cells by targeting RHBDD2. Furthermore, RHBDD2 overexpression reversed the effects of miR-4739 mimics on drug-resistance-related proteins (P-gP and MRP1) and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and E-cadherin in HeLa/DDP cells. Conclusions In summary, our study revealed that miR-4739 can reverse DDP resistance by modulating RHBDD2 in CC cells
