Bone Marrow Stromal Cell-Secreted Extracellular Vesicles Containing miR-34c-5p Alleviate Lung Injury and Inflammation in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Through Promotion of PTEN Degradation by Targeting OTUD3

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the predominant chronic disorder in preterm neonates. This study explored impacts of miR-34c-5p carried by bone marrow stromal cells-secreted extracellular vesicles (BMSC-EVs) on BPD progression.Methods: A BPD mouse model was established, followed by m...

Description
Summary:Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the predominant chronic disorder in preterm neonates. This study explored impacts of miR-34c-5p carried by bone marrow stromal cells-secreted extracellular vesicles (BMSC-EVs) on BPD progression.Methods: A BPD mouse model was established, followed by measurement of miR-34c-5p, OTUD3, and PTEN expression. EVs were isolated from BMSCs transfected with miR-34c-5p mimic or mimic NC and intratracheally injected into mice. CD31 and Ki67 expression was detected and the pathological changes of lung tissues and lung function indexes were observed for mice. A neonatal human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (HPMEC) model was developed with hyperoxia, followed by co-culture with extracted EVs and ectopic experiments for measurement of cell viability, migration, and angiogenesis. IL-4, IL-13, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels were measured in cell supernatants and lung tissues. Dual-luciferase reporter, ubiquitination, Co-IP, and RIP assays were adopted to determine the relationship among miR-34c-5p, OTUD3, and PTEN.Results: Lung tissues of BPD mice had downregulated miR-34c-5p expression and upregulated OTUD3 and PTEN expression. BMSC-EVs and BMSC-EVs-miR-34c-5p treatment improved lung injury and alveolar structure, decreased lung resistance and IL-4, IL-13, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, and elevated dynamic lung compliance in BPD mice, as well as enhanced proliferation, angiogenesis, and migration and restrained inflammation in HPMECs. Mechanistically, miR-34c-5p negatively targeted OTUD3 which restrained ubiquitination to promote PTEN protein stabilization. Upregulation of OTUD3 or PTEN negated the changes in the proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, and inflammation of hyperoxia-treated HPMECs induced by BMSC-EVs-miR-34c-5p.Conclusion: BMSC-EVs-miR-34c-5p alleviated lung injury and inflammation in hyperoxia-induced BPD by blocking the OTUD3/PTEN axis.
