Regulation of TGF-β-mediated endothelial-mesenchymal transition by microRNA-27.

TLDR
It is reported that microRNA-27b positively regulates transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced EndMT of MS-1 mouse pancreatic microvascular endothelial cells, suggesting important roles of miR-27 in TGF- β-driven EndMT.
Abstract
Multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Here we report that microRNA-27b (miR-27b) positively regulates transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced EndMT of MS-1 mouse pancreatic microvascular endothelial cells. TGF-β induced miR-23b/24-1/27b expression, and inhibition of miR-27 suppressed TGF-β-mediated induction of mesenchymal genes. Genome-wide miRNA target analysis revealed that miR-27 targets Elk1, which acts as a competitive inhibitor of myocardin-related transcription factor-serum response factor signalling and as a myogenic repressor. miR-27b was also found to regulate several semaphorin receptors including Neuropilin 2, Plexin A2 and Plexin D1. These results suggest important roles of miR-27 in TGF-β-driven EndMT.

Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Cardiovascular Disease: JACC State-of-the-Art Review.

TL;DR: A framework for its systematic advancement at the molecular and translational levels is proposed and a number of challenges are reviewed, including the lack of a precise functional and molecular definition, lack of understanding of the causative pathological role of EndMT in CVDs, and a lack of robust human data corroborating the extent and causality.

circHECTD1 promotes the silica-induced pulmonary endothelial-mesenchymal transition via HECTD1.

TL;DR: SiO2-induced increases in cell proliferation, migration, and changes in marker levels were restored by either a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting circHectD1 or overexpression of HECTD1 via the CRISPR/Cas9 system, confirming the involvement of the circHECTD 1/HECTd1 pathway in the EndMT.

MicroRNA Control of TGF-β Signaling

TL;DR: The connection between TGF-β signaling and the miRNA pathway is summarized, placing particular emphasis on the regulation of miRNA expression by TGF -β signaling, the modulation of TGF –β signaling by miRNAs, the mi RNA-mediated modulation of EMT and endothelial–mesenchymal transition as well as the crosstalk between miRNA and TGF–β pathways in the tumor microenvironment.

Molecular mechanisms of epithelial–mesenchymal transition

TL;DR: The reprogramming of gene expression during EMT, as well as non-transcriptional changes, are initiated and controlled by signalling pathways that respond to extracellular cues, and the convergence of signalling pathways is essential for EMT.

miR-145 and miR-143 regulate smooth muscle cell fate and plasticity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that miR-145 can direct the smooth muscle fate and that mi R-145 and miR -143 function to regulate the quiescent versus proliferative phenotype of smooth muscle cells.

Modulation of microRNA processing by p53

TL;DR: This study reveals a previously unrecognized function of p53 in miRNA processing, which may underlie key aspects of cancer biology, and suggests that transcription-independent modulation of miRNA biogenesis is intrinsically embedded in a tumour suppressive program governed by p53.

Myocardin and ternary complex factors compete for SRF to control smooth muscle gene expression

TL;DR: It is concluded that growth and developmental signals modulate smooth muscle gene expression by regulating the association of SRF with antagonistic cofactors.

Regulation of angiogenesis and choroidal neovascularization by members of microRNA-23∼27∼24 clusters

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that miRNAs encoded by the miR-23∼27∼24 gene clusters are enriched in endothelial cells and highly vascularized tissues, which may have important therapeutic implications in neovascular age-related macular degeneration and other vascular disorders.
