Application

Viral vectors, including retroviral, lentiviral, and adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, are utilized for efficient delivery of miRNAs into target cells. These vectors can transfect both dividing and non-dividing cells, with options for precise delivery to specific organ locations. Adenovirus, AAV, and lentivirus are commonly employed for delivering pre-miRNAs or mature miRNAs into cells, enabling translational repression. Viral carriers offer superior in vivo delivery compared to other methods like transfection. miRNA Viral Vectors can be applied for:

  • Functional Studies: Investigate miRNA roles in cellular processes using overexpression vectors.
  • Disease Modeling: Study disease mechanisms and potential therapies by introducing disease-associated miRNAs into relevant models.
  • miRNA Target Validation: Validate miRNA-target mRNA interactions through co-transfection experiments with expression vectors.
  • Gene Expression Regulation: Investigate miRNA-mediated gene regulation mechanisms, providing insights into molecular pathways.

Case Study

Case Study 1

In this study, researchers investigated the role of miRNA viral vectors in understanding the mechanisms underlying Fusobacterium nucleatum-induced colorectal cancer (CRC). They observed that F. nucleatum infection led to elevated expression of microRNA-31 (miR-31) in CRC tissues and cells, promoting tumorigenicity. Through miR-31, F. nucleatum inhibited autophagic flux by targeting syntaxin-12 (STX12), facilitating its intracellular survival. Additionally, miR-31 overexpression in CRC cells enhanced tumorigenicity by targeting eukaryotic initiation factor 4F-binding protein 1/2 (eIF4EBP1/2). Conversely, miR-31 knockout mice displayed resistance to CRC tumor formation. These findings underscore the role of miR-31 as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in CRC patients with F. nucleatum infection.

Figure 1. The impact of miR-31 on tumor growth was investigated in tumor xenografts in nude mice. HCT116 cells were infected with Lv-anti-miR-31-5p, Lv-anti-NC, Lv-miR-31-5p, or Lv-NC for 72 hours. After 48 hours of puromycin screening, cells were collected and subcutaneously injected into female BALB/c nude mice. Tumor growth and general status were monitored over 60 days. Tumor volumes were calculated, and tissues were analyzed for Ki-67 immunostaining after euthanization.Figure 1. The impact of miR-31 on tumor growth was investigated in tumor xenografts in nude mice.

Case Study 2

Researchers explored the role of miR-22 in aortic dissection (AD) and its impact on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis. They investigated miR-22 expression in human aortas and manipulated its levels in VSMCs using mimic, inhibitor, or siRNA plasmids. Bioinformatics analysis identified p38MAPKα as a miR-22 target. Inhibiting p38MAPKα expression reversed the apoptosis induced by miR-22 downregulation. Knockdown of miR-22 in a mouse AD model accelerated AD development. These findings highlight miR-22's potential as a therapeutic target for AD by modulating VSMC apoptosis through the MAPK signaling pathway, emphasizing the significance of vascular remodeling and VSMC function in AD pathogenesis.

Figure 2. The research findings demonstrate that adenovirus-mediated miR-22 modulation induces apoptosis in HASMCs. Additionally, the study reveals significant alterations in p38 expression following miR-22 treatment, highlighting the regulatory role of miR-22 in MAPK signaling pathways.Figure 2.
