Embodiment 1

[0387] Example 1: Expression of microRNA in liver tissue

[0388]To identify microRNAs involved in hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammatory infiltration, and fibrosis formation, liver tissues were screened for microRNA expression. Analyzes were performed to identify dysregulated microRNAs in the livers of MCD-diet mice, CCl4-treated mice, and high-fat diet-induced obese C57Bl6 / J mice, all three of which are animal models of steatohepatitis. Discovered a pair of conserved and widely expressed microRNAs miR-221 and miR-222 (see figure 1 ) was upregulated in the livers of these models. q-PCR results showed that miR-221 and miR-222 were up-regulated by 2-3 times in the liver of MCD-diet mice, and miR-221 and miR-222 were up-regulated by 1 in the liver of high-fat diet-induced obese mice. -2 times (see Table 4).

[0389] Table 4: miR-221 and miR-222 are upregulated in the liver of MCD-diet mice and high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

Embodiment 2

[0394] Example 2: Knockout of miR-221 and miR-222 alleviates liver fat accumulation, inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition, and fibrosis formation in animals

[0395] MCD diet mice are commonly used as a model of steatohepatitis. Therefore, an MCD diet model was established in control mice and miR-221 / 222 knockout mice to evaluate the effect of miR-221 / 222 on steatohepatitis. Evaluation of the knockout effect of miR-221 / 222 in the liver of KO mice (see Table 6).

[0398] Knockout of miR-221 and miR-222 reduces hepatic fat deposition in MCD-fed mice ( image 3 ). miR-221 / 222-LKO mice were given MCD diet for 6 weeks, and oil red stained oil red area of ​​liver sections was statistically found...

Embodiment 3

[0418] Example 3: Overexpression of miR-221 / 222 worsens steatohepatitis caused by MCD diet, aggravates liver fat accumulation, inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition, and fibrosis formation

[0419] Adenovirus AD-miR-221 / 222 infected the liver of miR-221 / 222LKO mice to re-express miR-221 / 222 in the liver. Using adenovirus AD-miR-221 / 222 overexpressing miR-221 / 222 and control adenovirus AD-GFP (titer 1*10 11 ) tail vein injection (200 microliters / only) miR-221 / 222LKO mice aged 8 weeks were fed with MCD diet for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, the expression of miR-221 / 222 in liver tissue of mice was detected, and it was found that AD-miR-221 / 222 could increase the expression of miR-221 / 222 in the liver of knockout mice (Table 15).

[0420] Table 15: miR-221 / 222 LKO mice were injected with AD-miR-221 / 222 and AD-GFP into the tail vein and fed with MCD diet for 6 weeks, the expression of miR-221 / 222 in liver tissue

Abstract

The invention discloses that miR-221 / 222 and its inhibitors are used to prepare drugs for regulating hepatic fat deposition, liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and reduce the level of hepatic fat infiltration by inhibiting the activity of miR-221 and / or miR-222, It is achieved by the deposition of collagen fibers in the liver, plasma cholesterol levels, serum transaminases and improving insulin resistance, and inhibiting the malignant proliferation of liver cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and in particular relates to the preparation of miR-221 / 222 and its inhibitors for regulating hepatic fat deposition, liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Background technique [0002] MicroRNAs (microRNA, miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs (usually 21–23 nucleotides in length) that cause translational repression of target genes and / or decrease messenger stability by binding to the 3′ untranslated region of specific genes. The number of microRNAs discovered so far exceeds 2500, and new candidate microRNA genes are still being discovered, and their expression patterns are often developmental and / or tissue-specific, although some microRNAs are stably expressed throughout the organism. miRNA is an important gene regulator, involved in the regulation of various basic processes of the body, such as cell proliferation and apoptosis, differentiation, development, organogenesis, differentiation, sh...
