Figure Legend Snippet: Total RNA was isolated from WT and IL10KO mice BM-FPCs using miRNeasy kit (Qiagen) and fibrosis-associated miRNA platform was used to assess the miRNAs level using Taqman microRNA assay. (A) At basal level fibrosis-associated miRNAs expression was significantly increased in IL10KO BM-FPCs compared to WT BM-FPCs with maximum expression of miRNA21, 145 and 208a (N=6). (B–D) miRNA21/145/208a expression was measured in WT-FPCs treated with IL10 and TGFβ by RT-PCR. IL10 treatment significantly inhibits TGFβ-induced miRNA-21, -145 and 208a expression. **p<0.01 vs BSA, #p<0.05 vs TGFβ. IL10KO mice: IL10 Knockout mice; BM-FPC: Bone marrow fibroblast progenitor cells. (N=6)
Techniques Used: Isolation, TaqMan microRNA Assay, Expressing, Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, Knock-Out
Figure Legend Snippet: BM-FPCs were transfected with miRNA-21 mimic for 12 hours using lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent before IL10 and TGFβ treatments and miRNA-21 expression was measured by RT-PCR. (A) miRNA-21 mimic transfection significantly increased miRNA-21 expression in BM-FPCs. (B–E) 24 hrs after mimic, IL10 and TGFβ treatments, cells were harvested to measured the expression of fibrosis marker genes by RT-PCR. Relative levels of target genes expression were normalized with 18S. IL10 significantly inhibited TGFβ-induced fibrosis-associated genes expression. Restoration of miRNA-21 expression using miRNA-21 mimic significantly attenuated the IL10 effect on expression of these genes. ***p<0.001, **p<0.01, *p<0.05 vs BSA, ###p<0.001, ##p<0.01 vs TGFβ; $$$p<0.001, $p<0.05 vs TGFβ and ^^^p<0.001, ^^p<0.01, ^p<0.05 vs miR-21 mimic alone. (N=6) (F) Schematic diagram indicates TAC-induced mobilization and homing of BM-FPCs to the heart. In the heart, profibrotic stimuli (TGFβ in this case) first facilitates BM-FPC activation to myofibroblasts and then promote Smad2/3 dependent miRNA-21 maturation. The miRNA-21 maturation ultimately leads to fibrotic gene activation in activated myofibroblasts. On the other hand, IL10 inhibits TAC-induced mobilization, homing and activation of these cells and regulates cardiac fibrosis. Factor: Chemokine/cytokines; BMCs: Bone marrow cells; IL10 Interleukin-10.
