AbstractEmphysema, a pathological component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, causes irreversible damage to the lung. Previous studies have shown that Slit plays essential roles in cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and organ development. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Slit2 on the proliferation and migration of mouse lung epithelial cells and its role in regeneration in an emphysema lung mouse model. Here, we have shown that Slit2/Robo signaling contributes to the regeneration of lungs damaged by emphysema. Mouse epithelial lung cells treated with Slit2 exhibited increased proliferation and migration in vitro. Our results also showed that Slit2 administration improved alveolar regeneration in the emphysema mouse model in vivo. Furthermore, Slit2/Robo signaling increased the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt, which was mediated by Ras activity. These Slit2-mediated cellular signaling processes may be involved in the proliferation and migration of mouse lung epithelial cells and are also associated with the potential mechanism of lung regeneration. Our findings suggest that Slit2 administration may be beneficial for alveolar regeneration in lungs damaged by emphysema.

Epithelial tissue has important functions such as protection, secretion, and sensation. Epithelial damage is involved in various pathological processes. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a class of growth factors with multiple functions. They play important roles in epithelial cells, including in differentiation, proliferation, and migration during the repair of the epithelium. This article reviews the functions and mechanisms of the most profoundly studied BMPs in the process of epithelial damage repair and their clinical significance.

In order to explore effects of long-chain non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA) HOTAIR on proliferation and migration of human lens epithelial cells, SRA01/04 cells were selected as the research strain in this study and divided into S1 group (no HOTAIR transfection), S2 group (siHOTAIR transfection), S3 group (siHOTAIR+10 ng/mL TGF-β2), and S4 group (no HOTAIR transfection+10 ng/mL TGF-β2) according to the presence or absence of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2 and silent HOTAIR treatment. 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) colorimetric method was applied to detect cell proliferation.Western blot was used for detection of E-cadherin, zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1), Vimentin, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA), Snail, Slug, zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1), and Smad-2 expressions. Results showed that the number of transmembrane cells in S4 group was higher markedly than that of the other groups, but that of S2 group dropped steeply compared with the other groups (P <0.05); E-cadherin (2.59±0.58) and ZO-1 (1.95±0.56) of S2 group increased hugely compared with the other groups, while Vimentin (0.57±0.14) and α-SMA (0.64±0.28) decreased sharply compared with the other groups (P < 0.05); Snail (2.51±0.59), Slug (2.11±0.47), and ZEB1 (2.83±0.53) of S4 group rose obviously compared with the other groups, but the above of S2 group reduced hugely compared with the other groups (P < 0.05); pSmad-2 and pSmad-3 of S4 group elevated greatly compared with the other groups, and those of S2 group reduced hugely compared with the other groups (P < 0.05). In conclusion, HOTAIR high expression could promote TGF-β2-induced SRA01/04 cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal trans-differentiation, which was related to TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.

Background/Aims: Age-related cataract (ARC) remains the leading cause of visual impairment among the elderly population. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as potential regulators in many ocular diseases. However, the role of lncRNAs in nuclear ARC, a subtype of ARC, requires further elucidation. Methods: LncRNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs between the capsules of transparent and nuclear ARC lenses. Expression validation was confirmed by qRT-PCR. MTT assay, Calcein-AM and propidium iodide double staining, Rhodamine 123 and Hoechst double staining, EdU and transwell assay were used to determine the role of H19 or miR-675 in the viability, apoptosis, proliferation and migration of primary cultured human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays were used to identify the binding target of miR-675. Results: Sixty-three lncRNAs are differentially expressed between the capsules of transparent and nuclear ARC lenses. One top abundantly expressed lncRNA, H19, is significantly up-regulated in the nuclear ARC lens capsules and positively associated with nuclear ARC grade. H19 knockdown accelerates apoptosis development and reduces the proliferation and migration of HLECs upon oxidative stress. H19 is the precursor of miR-675, and a reduction of H19 inhibits miR-675 expression. miR-675 regulates CRYAA expression by targeting the binding site within the 3’UTR. Moreover, miR-675 increases the proliferation and migration while decreasing the apoptosis of HLECs upon oxidative stress. Conclusion: H19 regulates HLECs function through miR-675-mediated CRYAA expression. This finding would provide a novel insight into the pathogenesis of nuclear ARC.
