    Analysis of the Inhibitory Effect of hsa-miR-145-5p and hsa-miR-203a-5p on Imatinib-Resistant K562 Cells by GC/MS Metabolomics Method
    (American Chemical Society, 2023-09-14T00:00:00) Singh, Priyanka; Yadav, Radheshyam; Verma, Malkhey; Chhabra, Ravindresh
    Imatinib (IM) resistance is considered to be a significant challenge in the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Previous studies have reported that hsa-miR-145-5p and hsa-miR-203a-5p can overcome IM resistance and hsa-miR-203a-5p can alter glutathione metabolism in IM-resistant cells. The purpose of this study was to examine whether hsa-miR-145-5p or hsa-miR-203a-5p counters IM resistance by targeting the overall metabolic profile of IM-resistant K562 cells. The metablic profiling of cell lysates obtained from IM-sensitive, IM-resistant, and miR-transfected IM-resistant K562 cells was carried out using the GC-MS technique. Overall, 75 major metabolites were detected, of which 32 were present in all samples. The pathway analysis of MetaboAnalyst 5.0 revealed that the majorly enriched pathways included glucose metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, lipogenesis, and nucleotide metabolism. Eleven of identified metabolites, l-glutamine, l-glutamic acid, l-lactic acid, phosphoric acid, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, cholesterol, and ?-alanine, appeared in enriched pathways. IM-resistant cells had comparatively higher concentrations of all of these metabolites. Notably, the introduction of hsa-miR-145-5p or hsa-miR-203a-5p into resistant cells resulted in a decrease in levels of these metabolites. The efficacy of miR-203a-5p was particularly remarkable in comparison with miR-145-5p, as evidenced by partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), which showed a high level of similarity in metabolic profile between IM-sensitive K562 cells and IM-resistant cells transfected with hsa-miR-203a-5p. The results indicate that GC-MS-based metabolic profiling has the potential to distinguish between drug-resistant and -sensitive cells. This approach can also be used to routinely monitor therapeutic response in drug-resistant patients, thus, enabling personalized therapy. � 2023 American Society for Mass Spectrometry.

    MicroRNAs Involved in Nutritional Regulation During Plant�Microbe Symbiotic and Pathogenic Interactions with Rice as a Model
    (Springer, 2023-07-19T00:00:00) Yadav, Radheshyam; Ramakrishna, Wusirika
    Plants are constantly challenged with numerous adverse environmental conditions, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Coordinated regulation of plant responses requires crosstalk between regulatory pathways initiated by different external cues. Stress induced by excessiveness or deficiency of nutrients has been shown to positively or negatively interact with pathogen-induced immune responses. Also, colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can improve plant nutrition, mainly phosphorus and resistance to pathogen infection. The proposed review addresses these issues about a new question that integrates adaptation to nutrient stress and disease resistance. The main goal of the current review is to provide insights into the interconnected regulation between nutrient signaling and immune signaling pathways in rice, focusing on phosphate, potassium and iron signaling. The underpinnings of plant/pathogen/AM fungus interaction concerning rice/M. oryzae/R. irregularis is highlighted. The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in Pi (miR399, miR827) and Fe (miR7695) homeostasis in pathogenic/symbiotic interactions in rice is discussed. The intracellular dynamics of membrane proteins that function in nutrient transport transgenic rice lines expressing fluorescent protein fusion genes are outlined. Integrating functional genomic, nutritional and metal content, molecular and cell biology approaches to understand how disease resistance is regulated by nutrient status leading to novel concepts in fundamental processes underlying plant disease resistance will help to devise novel strategies for crop protection with less input of pesticides and fertilizers. � 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    miR-145-5p and miR-203a-5p overcome imatinib resistance in myelogenous leukemic cells through metabolic reprogramming
    (National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research, 2023-03-01T00:00:00) Singh, Priyanka; Gupta, Sonu Kumar; Ali, Villayat; Chhabra, Ravindresh; Verma, Malkhey
    Imatinib is the most effective therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but many patients eventually develop resistance to it after an initial satisfactory response. This study investigated the potential of three miRNAs (miR-106b-5p, miR-145-5p, miR-203a-5p) in overcoming imatinib resistance in leukemic cells. The imatinib-resistant K562 (IR-K562) cells were developed and transfected with one of the three miRNAs to evaluate their potency in overcoming imatinib resistance. The changes in the metabolic profile were studied using flux balance analysis (FBA) and the data was validated using qRT-PCR.Among the three miRNAs, the ectopic expression of either miR-145-5p or miR-203a-5p was able to sensitize the IR-K562 cells to imatinib. The concentration of key oncometabolites; glucose, lactate, and glutamine, in the culture media of the miR-transfected IR-K562 cells, reverted to the same levels as seen in imatinib-sensitive K562 cells. In addition, the FBA analysis revealed that the metabolism of lipid, fatty acids, and electron transport chain were significantly altered in resistant cells. The FBA data was also validated at the molecular level. Interestingly, the imatinib treatment coupled with the transfection of miR-145-5p or miR-203a-5p cells could reverse the metabolic flux of IR-K562 to the levels seen in imatinib-sensitive K562 cells. This study highlights the key metabolic changes that occur during development of imatinib resistance. It also identifies the specific miRNAs which can be targeted to overcome imatinib resistance in CML. � 2023, National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research. All rights reserved.
