miR-10b靶向TGFBR1/SMAD3通路对特发性矮小症的软骨细胞增殖、肥大的影响机制

The mechanism of miR-10b targeting TGFBR1/SMAD3 pathway on chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy in idiopathic short stature

目的研究miR-10b对特发性矮小症(ISS)的影响及作用机制。方法收集ISS患儿(ISS组)和体检健康儿童(健康对照组)各54例,qPCR检验血清miR-10b表达量,分析ISS组患儿血清miR-10b表达与患儿临床资料的关系。采用miR-10b inhibitor、si-TGFBR1及各自阴性对照转染C28/I2细胞,利用CCK-8实验检测C28/I2细胞增殖能力,Western blot检测侏儒相关转录因子2(RUNX2)、X型胶原α1链(COL10A1)、转化生长因子β受体1(TGFBR1)、SMAD3、pSMAD3蛋白表达量。在StarBase数据库筛选miR-10b靶点,利用双萤光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-10b与TGFBR1的靶向关系。结果ISS组血清miR-10b表达量高于健康对照组,且miR-10b表达越高,患儿的身高、IGF-1、骨特异性碱性磷酸酶的下降越明显(P<0.05)。与NC组相比,miR-10b inhibitor组细胞增殖能力升高,RUNX2、COL10A1、TGFBR1、pSMAD3蛋白表达上调(P<0.05);StarBase数据库提示miR-10b存在TGFBR1的结合位点,双萤光素酶报告基因实验证实两者结合。与si-NC相比,si-TGFBR1组TGFBR1表达量下调,细胞增殖能力下降(P<0.05)。结论miR-10b通过靶向TGFBR1/SMAD3通路在特发性矮小症中抑制软骨细胞的增殖、肥大。

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of microRNA-10b(miR-10b)on idiopathic short stature(ISS).Methods A total of 54 children with ISS and 54 healthy children were collected.The serum expression of miR-10b was detected by RT-qPCR,and the relationship between serum miR-10b expression and clinical data of children with ISS was analyzed.miR-10b inhibitor,si-TGFBR1 and their negative control transfection C28/I2 cells were used.CCK-8 experimental detection was used to detect C28/I2 cell proliferation.Western blot assay was used to detect gnome related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),collagen type X alpha 1 chain(COL10A1),transforming growth factor beta receptor 1(TGFBR1),SMAD3 and pSMAD3 protein expression.The target of miR-10b was screened in StarBase database,and the targeting relationship between miR-10b and TGFBR1 was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay.Results The serum expression of miR-10b was higher in the ISS group than that of the healthy control group,and the higher the miR-10b expression,the more obvious the decrease of child height,IGF-1 and alkaline phosphatase(P<0.05).Compared with the NC group,the cell proliferation ability and RUNX2,COL10A1,TGFBR1,and pSMAD3 protein expression were upregulated in the miR-10b inhibitor group(P<0.05).StarBase database suggested that miR-10b had a binding site of TGFBR1,and dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that TGFBR1 interacted with miR-10b(P<0.05).Compared with the si-NC group,the expression of TGFBR1 was down-regulated and the cell proliferation ability was decreased in the si-TGFBR1 group(P<0.05).Conclusion miR-10b inhibits chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy in idiopathic short stature by targeting TGFBR1/SMAD3 pathway.
