Abstract

This study determined the changes in microRNA (miRs) expression in mammalian Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells undergoing apoptosis induced by exposing the cells to nutrient‐depleted media. The apoptosis onset was confirmed by reduced cell viability and Caspase‐3/7 activation. Microarray comparison of known mouse and rat miRs in CHO cells exposed to fresh or depleted media revealed up‐regulation of the mouse miR‐297‐669 cluster in CHO cells subjected to depleted media. The mmu‐miR‐466h was chosen for further analysis as the member of this cluster with the highest overexpression and its up‐regulation in depleted media was confirmed with qRT‐PCR. Since miRs suppress mRNA translation, we hypothesized that up‐regulated mmu‐miR‐466h inhibits anti‐apoptotic genes and induces apoptosis. A combination of bioinformatics and experimental tools was used to predict and verify mmu‐miR‐466h anti‐apoptotic targets. 8708 predicted targets were obtained from miRecords database and narrowed to 38 anti‐apoptotic genes with DAVID NCBI annotation tool. Several genes were selected from this anti‐apoptotic subset based on nucleotide pairing complimentarity between the mmu‐miR‐466h seed region and 3′ UTR of the target mRNAs. The qRT‐PCR analysis revealed reduced mRNA levels of bcl2l2, dad1, birc6, stat5a, and smo genes in CHO cells exposed to depleted media. The inhibition of the mmu‐miR‐466h increased the expression levels of those genes and resulted in increased cell viability and decreased Caspase‐3/7 activation. The up‐regulation of mmu‐miR‐466h in response to nutrients depletion causes the inhibition of several anti‐apoptotic genes in unison. This suggests the pro‐apoptotic role of mmu‐miR‐466h and its capability to modulate the apoptotic pathway in mammalian cells. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2011; 108:1651–1661. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
