- W4366334544 abstract "Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation from stem cells is one source of the increasing number of VSMCs that are involved in vascular remodeling-related diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and restenosis. MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) has been proven to be involved in cell proliferation, migration, and tumor metabolism. However, little is known about the functional role of miR-146a in VSMC differentiation from embryonic stem cells (ESCs). This study aimed to determine the role of miR-146a in VSMC differentiation from ESCs.Mouse ESCs were differentiated into VSMCs, and the cell extracts were analyzed by Western blotting and RT-qPCR. In addition, luciferase reporter assays using ESCs transfected with miR-146a/mimic and plasmids were performed. Finally, C57BL/6J female mice were injected with mimic or miR-146a-overexpressing ESCs, and immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and RT-qPCR assays were carried out on tissue samples from these mice.miR-146a was significantly upregulated during VSMC differentiation, accompanied with the VSMC-specific marker genes smooth muscle-alpha-actin (SMαA), smooth muscle 22 (SM22), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC), and h1-calponin. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-146a enhanced the differentiation process in vitro and in vivo. Concurrently, the expression of Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), predicted as one of the top targets of miR-146a, was sharply decreased in miR-146a-overexpressing ESCs. Importantly, inhibiting KLF4 expression enhanced the VSMC-specific gene expression induced by miR-146a overexpression in differentiating ESCs. In addition, miR-146a upregulated the mRNA expression levels and transcriptional activity of VSMC differentiation-related transcription factors, including serum response factor (SRF) and myocyte enhancer factor 2c (MEF-2c).Our data support that miR-146a promotes ESC-VSMC differentiation through regulating KLF4 and modulating the transcription factor activity of VSMCs." @default.
