Knockdown of miR-660 protects nucleus pulposus cells from TNF-a-induced apoptosis by targeting serum amyloid A1

BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a well-known cause of lower back pain, which is induced by multiple factors including increased apoptosis and decreased survival of nucleus pulposus cells. In this study, we evaluate the effect and potential mechanism of miR-660 on the nucleus p...

description BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a well-known cause of lower back pain, which is induced by multiple factors including increased apoptosis and decreased survival of nucleus pulposus cells. In this study, we evaluate the effect and potential mechanism of miR-660 on the nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis induced by TNF-α. METHODS: First, we collected tissue of nucleus pulposus from IVDD and healthy controls. General characteristic of the IVDD and healthy control was also collected. And, we also collected nucleus pulposus cells that stimulated by TNF-α or control. miRNA microarray was performed to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs. Apoptosis rate and miR-660 relative expression was measured after stimulated with different concentration of TNF-α to identify the optimal concentration of TNF-α. Second, we successfully constructed antigomiR-660 to block the miR-660 expression in nucleus pulposus cells and then stimulated with TNF-α (100 ng/ml, 12 h). The apoptosis rates and relative protein expression were then measured again. The target association between miR-660 and SAA1 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the age (IVDD: 39 ± 10 years, healthy controls: 36 ± 7 years), BMI and sex between IVDD and healthy controls. Microarray analysis found that miR-660 was significantly up-regulated in IVDD and TNF-α treated groups, which was further identified by PCR. We found that the rate of apoptosis and miR-660 expression increased with TNF-α concentration increased. Finally, TNF-a with 100 ng/ml was used for further experiment. Compared with TNF-α group, TNF-α + antigomiR-660 could significantly down-regulated the apoptosis rate and relative protein (c-Caspase3 and c-Caspase7). Dual-luciferase reporter revealed that miR-660 could directly binding to the SAA1 at 80–87 sites. Compared with TNF-α alone group, TNF-α + antigomiR-660 significantly up-regulated the SAA1 expression (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: These results indicated that knockdown of miR-660 protected the nucleus pulposus from apoptosis that induced TNF-α via up-regulation of SAA1. Further studies should focus on the role of miR-660 in protecting IVDD in vivo.
