Application of microRNA-210 inhibitor in preparation of drugs for treating inflammatory skin diseases

Abstract

Disclosed are methods of using a microRNA-210 inhibitor in preparation of drugs for treating inflammatory skin diseases. The present inventor has demonstrated through a large number of experiments that in vitro inhibition of microRNA-210 expression can significantly enhance the expression of its target gene STAT6, thereby inhibiting proliferation and chemokine CCL20 secretion of keratinocytes, further inhibiting chemotactic T cell migration towards skin lesion, and also inhibiting differentiation of T.sub.H1 and T.sub.H17. MicroRNA-210 knockout and intradermal injection of a microRNA-210 inhibitor (cholesterol-modified antagomiR-210) on a skin lesion specifically inhibit the expression of microRNA-210, so that skin inflammation in mice can be significantly inhibited, and T cell immune imbalance is mitigated. The present invention provides a new pathophysiological mechanism for inflammatory skin diseases and provides a new strategy for preparing drugs for treating inflammatory skin diseases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(27) To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the implementations of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that, these embodiments are merely used for illustrative purposes, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.

Embodiment 1: Increased Expression of microRNA-210 in IMQ-Induced Mouse Inflammatory Skin Lesion

(28) Twelve 7-week-old healthy female Balb/c mice were selected. After the backs are unhaired by 2×2 cm.sup.2, the mice were randomly divided into two groups: the first group was a Model group, and the unhaired back area of each mouse was externally coated with 5% imiquimod ointment every day for 6 successive days, 62.5 mg/d; and the second group was a Normal group, and the unhaired back area of each mouse was externally coated with matrix ointment every day for 6 successive days, 62.5 mg/d. At the 7.sup.th day of modeling, the mice in each group were killed by a neck breaking method. Their back skin lesions were taken and put into a formalin solution to be fixed overnight. Dehydration and paraffin embedding were performed. Sections were subjected to HE staining. Histopathological changes were observed under a microscope. The results showed that compared with mice of Normal group, mice of Model group showed macroscopic erythema and scales on the skin, obviously thickened epidermis, hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, extended rete ridges, acanthosis, disappeared stratum granulosum, dermal inflammatory cell infiltration and obvious angiectasis (FIGS. 1A-1C). It proved that the modeling of IMQ-induced mouse inflammatory skin diseases was successful.

(29) IMQ-induced mouse inflammatory skin lesion and normal mouse skin tissues were taken. Tissue total RNA was extracted by a Trizol method. After reverse transcription, expression of microRNA-210 was detected through real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). At the same time, expression and distribution of microRNA-210 in the IMQ-induced mouse inflammatory skin lesion were detected by an in situ hybridization technology. The results showed that compared with normal skin, the expression of microRNA-210 was significantly up-regulated in IMQ-induced mouse inflammatory skin (FIG. 1D). The in situ hybridization results also showed that the expression of microRNA-210 in the IMQ-induced mouse epidermis was obviously enhanced (FIG. 1E).

Embodiment 2: Study on Effect and Mechanism of Abnormal microRNA-210 Expression on Keratinocytes and T Cells

(31) 1) microRNA-210 promotes proliferation of keratinocytes

(32) This experiment adopted human primary keratinocytes. The human primary keratinocytes were inoculated into a 96-well plate 12 h (hours, hrs) before transfection, and were cultured for 12 h in a 5% CO.sub.2 incubator at 37° C. by a corresponding 100 μL serum-free culture medium. When the cells grew to reach a 90% fusion degree, agomiR-210 (a microRNA-210 mimic), antagomiR-210 and a corresponding negative control were transfected into the keratinocytes. After 6 hrs, a fresh culture medium was used for continuous culture for 24 hrs or 48 hrs. 10 μL of CCK8 solution was added into each well 4 hrs before culture completion. Cell proliferation was detected at wavelength of 450 nm. Results showed that the proliferation of the human primary keratinocytes can be significantly promoted by overexpression of microRNA-210; and oppositely, the proliferation of the keratinocytes can be significantly inhibited by microRNA-210 inhibition (FIGS. 2A-2C).

FIG. 2B shows influence of microRNA-210 on proliferation of keratinocytes at 48 h, **P<0.01 FIG. 2C shows variation trend of keratinocytes proliferation regulated by microRNA-210. Statistical analysis is performed by bilateral t test.

(34) 2) microRNA-210 promotes keratinocytes to secret a chemokine CCL20, which further influences T cell migration

(35) This experiment adopted human primary keratinocytes. The human primary keratinocytes were inoculated into a 24-well plate containing 1 ml of serum-free culture medium 12 hrs before transfection for culture for 12 h in a 5% CO.sub.2 incubator at 37° C. When the cells grew to reach a 90% fusion degree, agomiR-210 (a microRNA-210 mimic), antagomiR-210 and a corresponding negative control were transfected into the keratinocytes. After 6 hrs, fresh culture medium was used for continuous culture for 48 hrs. Cells were collected. Total RNA was extracted, and expression levels of cytokines and chemokines were detected through real-time PCR. The results showed that the chemokine CCL20 secretion of keratinocytes can be significantly promoted by overexpression of microRNA-210 (FIG. 3A), and was obviously inhibited by microRNA-210 inhibition (FIG. 3B).

(36) The cells were cultured by the same method and cell supernatant was collected. One part was used for ELISA detection of protein secretion level of CCL20. The result was consistent with the above PCR result (FIG. 3C). The other part was used for a subsequent chemotaxis experiment. Small chemotaxis chambers with a 5.0 μm pore diameter were used for the chemotaxis experiment. CD4.sup.+ T cells were separated from normal human peripheral blood using magnetic beads. 5×10.sup.5 CD4.sup.+ T cells were resuspended by 200 μL serum-free culture medium and were inoculated in an upper chamber. 600 μL of keratinocyte cultural supernatant was inoculated in a lower chamber. Culture was performed for 90 min in a 5% CO.sub.2 incubator at 37° C. Non-chemotactic cells of the upper chamber were slightly scraped away by cotton swabs. Chemotactic cells on the lower layer surface of filter screen were fixed by 90% alcohol for 15 min. Then, staining was performed for 10 min by 0.1% crystal violet. Phosphate buffer saline (PBS) rinsing was performed twice. The numbers of chemotactic cells in five different view fields were counted under a microscope, and a mean value was taken. The results showed that the supernatant secreted by keratinocytes overexpressing microRNA-210 can significantly promote T cell migration, and the supernatant secreted by keratinocytes with microRNA-210 inhibition can significantly inhibit the T cell migration FIGS. 3D and 3E.

FIG. 3B shows influence of microRNA-210 inhibition on chemokine and inflammatory factor secretion of keratinocytes. *P<0.05.

(38) 3) microRNA-210 promotes cell differentiation of T.sub.H1 and T.sub.H17 and inhibits cell differentiation of T.sub.H2

(39) Normal human peripheral blood was collected and naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells was separated by magnetic beads. Firstly, expression change of miR-210 during the differentiation of naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells to different T cell subsets was detected. Then, agomiR-210, antagomiR-210 and corresponding control were respectively transfected into the naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells. Under in vitro differentiation induction conditions, the naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells were induced to differentiate to T.sub.H1, T.sub.H2, T.sub.H17 and iT.sub.reg. After 5 days, differentiation percentage of different T cell subsets in each experiment group was detected by flow cytometry. The result showed that the expression of microRNA-210 was most significantly increased during T.sub.H17 cell in vitro differentiation (FIG. 4A); differentiation of the naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells to T.sub.H1 and T.sub.H17 can be significantly promoted, and the differentiation of T.sub.H2 was inhibited by overexpression of microRNA-210 (FIG. 4B); differentiation of the naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells to T.sub.H1 and T.sub.H17 can be inhibited, and the differentiation of T.sub.H2 was promoted by microRNA-210 inhibition (FIG. 4C): and the microRNA-210 had no significant influence on in vitro Treg differentiation induction (FIGS. 4B and 4C).

(40) FIG. 4A shows expression change of microRNA-210 during the differentiation of naïve CD4.sup.+ T cells to different T cell subsets, ***P<0.001. NS represents no statistical significance. Statistical analysis is performed by one-way analysis of variance.

(41) 4) microRNA-210 promotes secretion of IL-17A, IL-17F and IFN-γ and inhibits secretion of IL-4 in CD4.sup.+ T cells

(42) We transfected agomiR-210, antagomiR-210 and their corresponding negative control to normal human peripheral blood CD4.sup.+ T cells. After 48 h, cell supernatant and cells were collected. The transfection efficiency and the protein and mRNA level change of cytokines were respectively detected by ELISA and real-time PCR methods. The results showed that agomiR-210 or antagomiR-210 can significantly promote or inhibit the expression of microRNA-210 in the CD4.sup.+ T cells (FIG. 5A); the secretion of IL-17A, IL-17F and IFN-γ can be significantly promoted, and the secretion of IL-4 was inhibited by overexpression of microRNA-210 (FIGS. 5B and 5D); and the secretion of IL-17A. IL-17F and IFN-γ can be significantly inhibited, and the secretion of IL-4 was promoted by microRNA-210 inhibition (FIGS. 5C and 5E).

(43) FIG. 5A shows that agomiR-210 or antagomiR-210 can significantly promote or inhibit expression of microRNA-210 in CD4.sup.+ T cells, **P<0.01. FIGS. 5B and 5C show the influence of overexpression or inhibition of microRNA-210 on cytokine protein level in CD4.sup.+ T cell cultural supernatant, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. FIGS. 5D and 5E show the influence of overexpression or inhibition of microRNA-210 on cytokine mRNA level in CD4.sup.+ T cells, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. NS represents no statistical significance. Statistical analysis is performed by bilateral t test.

(44) 5) downstream target gene screening and verification of microRNA-210 Firstly, through bioinformatics software such as TargetScan, miRWalk, miRanda and RNA22, we predicted and discovered that STAT6 may be a downstream target gene of microRNA-210, and may be closely related to differentiation of T cells (FIG. 6A). Secondly, we further performed luciferase reporter gene experimental verification in HEK293T cells, and discovered that luciferase activity in the HEK293T cells transfected with wild type plasmids (STAT6 WT) can be significantly inhibited by overexpression of microRNA-210, however, luciferase activity in the HEK293T cells transfected with STAT6 binding site mutation plasmids (STAT6 MU) was not influenced (FIG. 6B). Then, we performed microRNA-210 overexpression and interference experiments in human CD4.sup.+ T cells, and proved that microRNA-210 can regulate the protein expression level of STAT6 (FIG. 6C). Additionally, we also detected the protein level of the target gene STAT6 in an IMQ-induced mouse model skin lesion by western blot, and discovered that compared with normal mouse skin, the IMQ-induced mouse skin had significantly down-regulated expression level of STAT6 protein in the skin lesion thereof (FIG. 6D).

(45) FIG. 6A shows a binding site sequence of an mRNA Y non-coding area of a target gene STAT6 with microRNA-210 and a binding site sequence after mutation (red area). FIG. 6B shows an mRNA 3′ non-coding area of STAT6 is a direct target of microRNA-210 verified by luciferase reporter gene experiment, *P<0.05. FIG. 6C shows that microRNA-210 can regulate the expression level of STAT6 protein. FIG. 6D shows the expression level of STAT6 protein in IMQ-induced mouse skin lesion tissues (n=3) and normal mouse skin tissues (n=3), *P<0.05. Statistical analysis is performed by bilateral t test.

(46) The present embodiment proves that microRNA-210 can directly regulate the expression of its target gene STAT6. The proliferation and the chemokine CCL20 secretion of the keratinocytes can be significantly inhibited by microRNA-210 inhibition. The chemotactic inflammatory T cell migration towards skin lesion is further prevented. At the same time, the differentiation of T.sub.H1 and T.sub.H17 cells can be significantly inhibited, and the differentiation of T.sub.H2 cells is promoted by microRNA-210 inhibition.

Embodiment 3: In Vivo Overexpression of microRNA-210 can Significantly Promote and Aggravate IMQ-Induced Mouse Inflammatory Skin Lesion

(47) 6- to 8-week-old healthy female Balb/c mice were selected. The backs are unhaired by 2×2 cm.sup.2. The mice were randomly divided into two groups: 1) agomiR-210 group: the back of each mouse in this group was externally coated with 5% IMQ ointment every day for 6 successive days, 62.5 mg/d, and intradermal injection of 150 μl (5 nmol) of agomiR-210 was performed on the back at 0.sup.th day, 1.sup.st day, 2.sup.nd day and 3.sup.rd day: and 2) agomiR-NC group: the back of each mouse in this group was externally coated with 5% IMQ ointment every day for 6 successive days, 62.5 mg/d, and intradermal injection of 150 μl (5 nmol) of agomiR-NC was performed on the back at 0.sup.th day, 1.sup.st day, 2.sup.nd day and 3.sup.rd day. Three mice in each group were killed respectively at 4.sup.th day, 7.sup.th day, 10.sup.th day and 14.sup.th day of modeling. Clinic and pathological changes of the skin lesions were observed, and histological analysis was performed. Expression change of microRNA-210 was detected through real-time PCR. The results showed that at 4.sup.th day and 7.sup.th day of modeling, the expression of microRNA-210 was significantly increased in the agomiR-210 group (FIG. 7A). Through intradermal injection of agomiR-210, the IMQ-induced mouse inflammatory skin lesion can be significantly promoted and aggravated. Splenomegaly of mice in the agomiR-210 group was obviously aggravated than that of the mice in the agomiR-NC group. The above indexes reached the peak at 7 day, exhibiting the most significant difference. In a disease recovery period (8.sup.th to 14.sup.th days), the clinic and pathological changes of the two groups had no significant differences (FIGS. 7B-7F).

(49) C57BL/6J background microRNA-210 knockout mice (miR-210 KO mice) were constructed. 6-8-week-old KO mice and WT mice were selected. The unhaired back area was externally coated with 5% IMQ ointment every day for 6 successive days, 62.5 mg/d. At 7.sup.th day, the mice in each group were killed. Histopathological analysis and splenic T cell subset proportion detection were performed. The results showed that the IMQ-induced mouse inflammatory skin lesion can be significantly inhibited, and the splenic T cell immunologic derangement was mitigated in KO mice (FIG. 8).

(51) Twelve 6-week-old healthy female Balb/c mice were selected. Three-point intradermal injection was performed on back unhaired areas by using cholesterol-modified antagomiR-210 (cholesterol was connected to a 5′ end of antagomiR-210 to enhance its transmembrane property, and expression of microRNA-210 can be specifically inhibited). The mice were divided into two groups in experiments: (1) antagomiR-210 group: the back was externally coated with 5% IMQ ointment every day for 6 successive days. 62.5 mg/d, and intradermal injection of 150 μl of antagomiR-210 was performed on the back at 0.sup.th day, 1.sup.st day, 2.sup.nd day and 3.sup.rd day, and 2) antagomiR-NC group: the back was externally coated with 5% IMQ ointment every day for 6 successive days, 62.5 mg/d, and intradermal injection of 150 μl of antagomiR-NC was performed on the back at 0.sup.th day, 1.sup.st day, 2.sup.nd day and 3.sup.rd day.

FIG. 9C shows pathological changes of inflammatory skin lesions of mice in antagomiR-210 group and antagomiR-NC group FIG. 9D shows epidermis thickening conditions in skin lesions of mice in antagomiR-210 group (n=5) and antagomiR-NC group (n1=5), *P<0.05. FIG. 9E shows inflammatory cell infiltration conditions in skin lesions of mice in antagomiR-210 group (n=5) and antagomiR-NC group (n=5), ***P<0.001. FIG. 10 shows T cell immunologic derangement conditions in spleens of mice in antagomiR-210 group and antagomiR-NC group. Through intradermal injection of microRNA-210, the T.sub.H1 and T.sub.H17 proportion in the IMQ-induced mouse spleen cells can be significantly reduced, and the T.sub.H2 cell proportion is increased. Statistical analysis is performed by bilateral t test.
