Abstract:
:Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is a ligand of Tie-2 receptors that promotes angiogenesis. It has been established that regulatory loops exist between angiogenic growth factors and distinct pro or anti-angiogenic miRNAs, but the nature and the roles of Ang-1-regulated miRNAs remain unclear. In this study, we assessed the role of miR-640 in Ang-1-induced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Exposure to Ang-1 (300 ng/mL) from 6 to 72 h significantly decreased expression of mature miR-640, a response that was mediated by Tie-2 receptors and was also observed in response to Ang-2, the vascular endothelial growth factor, and transforming growth factor β. Increasing miR-640 levels using a mimic inhibited Ang-1-induced cell migration and capillary-like tube formation whereas inhibition of miR-640 enhanced these responses. Pull down assays of biotinylated miR-640 revealed that miR-640 directly targets Zinc Finger Protein 91 (ZFP91), an atypical E3-ubiquitin ligase. Ang-1 exposure induced ZFP91 expression through down-regulation of miR-640. Silencing of ZFP91 significantly inhibited Ang-1-induced cell migration and tube formation. We conclude that Ang-1 upregulates ZFP91 expression through transcriptional down-regulation of miR-640 and that ZFP91 plays important roles in the promotion of Ang-1-induced endothelial cell migration and differentiation.
