Abstract
Introduction
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, evolutionarily highly conserved, small noncoding RNAs, which are derived from the genomes of eukaryotic organisms and various viruses and have multiple functions in the regulation of gene expression in animals and plants (1,2). miRNA (miR)-210, a prototypical hypoxamir, is one of the most widely studied miRNAs (3,4). Mounting evidence has demonstrated that miR-210 is involved in the sophisticated regulation of various biological processes, and is associated with the development and progression of different diseases, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and immunological diseases, in addition to numerous types of cancer. For example, Mutharasan et al (5) reported that miR-210 was markedly upregulated through Akt serine/threonine kinase 1- and tumor protein p53-dependent pathways to protect cardiomyocytes from hypoxia, leading to apoptosis in vitro. Zeng et al (6) reported that miR-210 was significantly reduced in blood samples from stroke patients at different times compared with healthy controls. miR-210 promotes cell cycle progression by targeting MAX network transcriptional repressor and E2F transcription factor 3, disrupts normal DNA repair and increases genetic instability through a homology-dependent repair DNA repair pathway (7). miR-210 expression is decreased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis compared with healthy controls (8). These above data suggest that miR-210 serves an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases.
Inflammation is a well-known cause of cancer in humans. Being one of the most common inflammatory diseases in the world, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly in Asian countries (9–11). The etiological association between HBV and HCC represents an opportunity for clinicians to prevent HCC development and alleviate the outcomes of HCC by treating HBV infection. However, current immunoprophylaxis strategies against HBV do not completely abolish HBV transmission. The molecular mechanisms by which HBV infection leads to HCC are comparatively complex. Therefore, elucidating the mechanism of HBV infection is of particular importance.
A previous study demonstrated that macrophages serve a pivotal role in immune hepatitis (12). In addition, it was reported that miR-210 downregulates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated proinflammatory cytokine production by targeting nuclear factor-κB1 in macrophages (13). Moreover, hepatitis B e-antigen HBeAg induces miR-155 expression to increase liver injury by increasing inflammatory cytokine production in macrophages (10). However, whether miR-210, which is similar to miR-155, may also affect HBV-induced hepatitis by altering macrophage function has not been completely elucidated.
In the present study, it was identified that miR-210 expression levels were significantly reduced in peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) and the serum of patients with CHB, although there was no marked correlation between miR-210 expression and HBV-associated antigens and DNA in the serum. Moreover, it was demonstrated that miR-210 expression was not affected by HBV-associated antigens in different types of macrophages in vitro. However, it is notable that the serum of patients with CHB markedly downregulated miR-210 expression in PBMs from healthy controls.
Patients and methods
Subjects and serological tests
The present study recruited 25 subjects between April 2016 and March 2017 from Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University (Jinan, China), including 11 healthy controls and 14 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). These enrolled subjects were all negative for antibodies to hepatitis A, C, D, E virus and human immunodeficiency virus. None of them were all autoimmune liver diseases and taking immunosuppressive drugs or anti-viral therapy more than 3 months. The standard set by the National Viral Hepatitis Conference of China in 2015 was used for the diagnosis of CHB (14,15). The concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the serum were analyzed with automatic electrochemical luminescence immunoanalyzer (Roche Cobas E602; Roche Applied Science, Pleasanton, CA, USA). The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), HBeAg, anti-HBe antibody (HBeAb) and hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) content in serum was determined with a chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay kit (Abbott Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Lake Bluff, IL, USA) using the Abbott i2000 ARCHITECT system. The HBV DNA content was detected with a fluorescent label HBV DNA quantitative kit (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) using an ABI-7500 quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analyzer (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The clinical characteristics of these enrolled subjects are summarized in Table I. The research protocol and consent program were approved by Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University Ethics Committee. Written informed consent was acquired from each patient for this study.
Cells and reagents
Mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (PMs), the mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA), and human hepatoma cell lines HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China) were acquired and cultured as previously described (16–18). HBV-associated antigens, including hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg; cat. no. ab119441), HBeAg (cat. no. ab91273) and HBsAg (cat. no. ab167754), were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA) and used as was previously described (16).
Light microscope analysis
RAW264.7 cells were treated with or without 2 µg/ml HBcAg, HBeAg, HBsAg or a mixture for 24 h. The cell morphology was observed with a light microscope (Ti-S; Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), and the original magnification was ×100.
Acquisition of mouse primary PMs
Male C57BL/6J mice (n=6), 6–8 weeks old, were obtained from Shandong University Experimental Animal Center (Jinan, China). All mice were housed in specific pathogen-free conditions. The animal room was kept at 20–22°C under a relative humidity 40–60% and 12 h light/dark cycle. These mice were feed ad libitum and had access to water. All animal experiments were undertaken in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, with the approval of the Scientific Investigation Board of the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University. Mouse primary PMs were obtained as described previously (16).
miR-210 quantification in cells or serum
Total RNA in cells and serum was extracted with the miRNeasy Mini kit, miRNeasy Serum/Plasma kit and miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Spike-In Control, according to the manufacturer's protocols, as described previously (16). For the quantification of miR-210, cDNA was obtained with the miScript II reverse transcription kit. miR-210 (cat. no. MS00003801) quantification was evaluated with the miScript SYBR Green PCR kit, according to the manufacturer's protocol as previously described (17). U6 snRNA (cat. no. MS00033740) and miR-39 (cat. no. 219610) were used as an internal control. All of the above kits were purchased from Qiagen, Inc. (Valencia, CA, USA). qPCR was performed via the following steps: 95°C for 15 min, followed by 45 cycles of 95°C for 15 sec, 55°C for 30 sec, 70°C for 30 sec and 65°C for 30 sec, using the LightCycler Real-time PCR System (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA), as described previously (18).
Co-culture and HBV-associated antigen treatment experiments in vitro
A total of ~4×105/ml macrophages were seeded and adhered to the lower chamber of a Transwell plate using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco® Sera; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Subsequently, 3×105/ml HepG2/HepG2.2.15 cells were added into the upper chambers in the same medium. Co-incubation was performed for 12, 24, 36 and 48 h at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Mouse primary PMs, mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells, and human PBMs were stimulated with individual HBV-associated antigens (2 µg/ml) or a mixture for 24, 36 or 48 h. These cells were harvested using TRIzol® (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) for the evaluation of miR-210 expression levels by qPCR.
Cross culture of cell and serum
The serum was collected from 15 ml whole blood of healthy controls and patients with CHB by centrifuging at 1,000 × g for 5–10 min at 20–25°C. PBMs from healthy controls were obtained by density gradient centrifugation (780 × g for 20–30 min at 20–25°C) and seeded in a 12-well plate with complete medium of RPMI-1640 (Gibco®; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with 10% FBS overnight for attachment. The following day, the suspended cells were removed and the adherent cells were incubated with their own serum or serum from patients with CHB for 36 h. These PBMs were harvested with TRIzol to extract the total RNA. A reverse transcription experiment was performed, and the expression of miR-210 was detected with the corresponding kits, as described above.
Statistical analysis
Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. All statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism 5 software (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). Student's t-tests were used to verify significant differences between two groups. One-way analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference post hoc test was used to assess significant differences between the different treatments. Spearman correlation analysis was performed between miR-210 expression and serum ALT, AST, HBsAg, HBeAg, HBeAb, HBcAb or HBV DNA levels. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
Results
miR-210 expression is decreased, and is negatively correlated with serum ALT and AST
To evaluate the effect of miR-210 on HBV infection, PBMs and serum were collected from patients with CHB or healthy controls and miR-210 expression was assessed. As presented in Figs. 1 and 2, the expression of miR-210 was significantly decreased in PBMs (Fig. 1A) and serum (Fig. 2A). The associations between the expression of miR-210 and multiple clinical parameters were also assessed. miR-210 expression was negatively correlated with serum ALT and AST; the correlation coefficients were −0.5868 and −0.7231, and −0.7319 and −0.5692, respectively (Figs. 1B, C; 2B and C). There was no marked correlation between miR-210 expression and HBsAg, HBeAg, HBeAb, HBcAb and HBV-DNA in the serum (Figs. 1D-H; 2D-H). Taken together, miR-210 expression was reduced in the PBMs and serum of patients with CHB and was inversely correlated with serum ALT and AST, but there was no correlation with other HBV infection-associated clinical indexes.
miR-210 expression is not affected by HBV-associated antigens in different types of macrophages
A previous study demonstrated that HBeAg is able to promote the production of macrophage inflammatory factors and the expression of miR-155, by miRNA sequencing and a qPCR approach (16). miR-210 expression was also decreased in this miRNA sequencing analysis. However, the effect and mechanism of miR-210 on macrophage activation has not been completely elucidated. Therefore, in the present study, RAW264.7 macrophages were stimulated with HBV-associated antigens for 24 h. As presented in Fig. 3A, as previously reported, RAW264.7 cells were elongated with multiple pseudopodia in the HBeAg and mix groups. Subsequently, miR-210 expression was detected in RAW264.7 macrophages with different HBV-associated antigens at different times. As presented in Fig. 3B, the expression of miR-210 was not altered by the different antigens or at different time points in RAW264.7 cells. To eliminate the possibility that the cell type led to this lack of change, mouse primary PMs and human PBMs were acquired and stimulated with HBV-associated antigens. It was observed that HBeAg was able to induce miR-210 expression, but the increase was not significant in these different types of macrophages (Fig. 3C and D). Taken together, although miRNA sequencing (16) indicated that miR-210 expression was decreased, there was no notable difference between the different types of macrophages under treatment with HBV-associated antigens, according to the qPCR analysis.
Serum from patients with CHB markedly downregulated the miR-210 expression of PBMs from healthy controls
To observe the effect of HBV infection on miR-210 expression in vivo, PBMs were obtained from healthy controls and treated with the serum of patients with CHB. As illustrated in Fig. 4, it was identified that the serum of patients with CHB was able to significantly reduce the miR-210 expression of PBMs from healthy controls.
Discussion
The precursor of miR-210 forms a stem-loop structure and is located within the intron region of AK123483 gene, which is located on chromosome 11p15.5 (19). The gene sequence of miR-210 is evolutionarily conserved between different species, indicating its functional importance (20,21). Convincing evidence suggests that miR-210 is widely expressed in multiple tissues and cells, including hematopoietic stem cells, numerous cancer cells, myeloid cells and lymphocytes (22–25). miR-210 is a pivotal hypoxia-response factor in numerous diseases (26). Faraonio et al (27) reported that miR-210 was aberrantly overexpressed in senescent human diploid fibroblasts, leading to an increase in DNA damage and the repression of cell proliferation. Bar et al (28) reported that miR-210 is highly expressed in cells of the triple-negative breast cancer subtype, and in the tumor microenvironment, and its overexpression has been linked to poor prognosis. In addition, miR-210 was induced after photodynamic therapy in HeLa cells (29). Surprisingly, the increased expression of miR-210 has an exceptionally long half-life and does not rapidly return to normal levels after hypoxic exposure for 24 h (30). In addition, although there were also reports that miR-210 levels in serum may predict HBV replication and translation (31) and the virological response to treatment with interferon-α in patients with CHB (32), the role and mechanism of miR-210 in HBV infection was not elucidated. Notably, it was previously reported that miR-210 in murine macrophages negatively regulates the LPS-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines (13). Therefore, it was hypothesized that HBV-associated antigens may activate macrophages in a similar manner to LPS and induce the expression of miR-210, to ultimately regulate their function in HBV infection.
In the present study, the results demonstrated that miR-210 expression was significantly diminished in the PBMs and serum of patients with CHB, but there was not a marked correlation between miR-210 expression and HBsAg, HBeAg, HBeAb, HBcAb and HBV-DNA in the serum. A number of studies have shown that the expression of certain stress proteins (including heat shock proteins and C-reactive proteins) are increased during HBV infection (33,34). Moreover, these proteins may affect macrophage activation (35,36). Therefore, it was speculated that the expression of macrophage miR-210 may be affected by these stress proteins or other unknown factors during HBV infection. The present study used the traditional adherent separation method, as described previously (16). This assay is relatively weak compared with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), but it is more readily available. In addition, since the small sample size was a limitation of the current study, the differences between male and female subjects were not compared. Therefore, future studies may expand the sample content and/or use a FACS assay to detect the effects and mechanisms of miR-210 or other miRs during HBV infection. The detection of these serum miRs as an important indicator may be a basis for observing the immune status of patients with HBV infection.
When liver cells are infected by HBV, they experience an immune attack, leading to acute and chronic inflammatory responses in the liver. In CHB, the virus is frequently maintained at a low level over a long period (37). The number of patients with CHB, and the gradually increasing trend of liver cirrhosis and HCC, has led to large expenditure for medical treatment, representing a serious health burden in worldwide, but particularly in China (38). Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment may be a good therapeutic strategy to avoid disease progression, including the prevention of liver fibrosis and HCC. However, the factors that regulate the development of CHB have not been clearly identified. It has been indicated that once individuals are infected with HBV, the HBV DNA converts into covalently closed circular DNA to promote viral DNA replication. In addition, various viral proteins are produced, including HBsAg, HBcAg and HBeAg, resulting in the activation of the immune system (39). It was previously reported that HBeAg is able to promote miR-155 expression to enhance liver damage by elevating inflammatory cytokine production in macrophages (16). However, less is known about the effect of HBV-associated antigens on hypoxic miR-210. It has been reported that PBMs may be directly stimulated in vitro (16,40–42). There have also been reports that PBMs may be induced to become M1 or M2 macrophages by exposure to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (43). Therefore, the PBMs in the present study were not treated with GM-CSF to avoid the induction of monocyte activation not by HBV-associated antigens. In the present study, the results demonstrated that HBV-associated antigens have no effect on the expression of miR-210 in different types of macrophages from mice and humans, including cell lines and primary macrophages. However, it was demonstrated that the serum of patients with CHB was able to significantly diminish the miR-210 expression of PBMs from healthy controls.
In conclusion, it was observed that miR-210 expression was markedly decreased in the PBMs and serum of patients with CHB. Subsequently, the association between miR-210 expression and multiple clinical indexes in HBV infection was assessed, and it was observed that there was not a marked correlation between them. In vitro, it was demonstrated that HBV-associated antigens had no effect on miR-210 expression in macrophages. Notably, the serum of patients with CHB was able to impair miR-210 expression in PBMs from healthy controls. Therefore, these findings suggest that there may be another regulatory mechanism of miR-210 expression in HBV infection.
