RNA-seq analysis after MIR4435-2HG knockdown in HemECs
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are commonly observed benign tumors that can cause serious complications.In this study, we investigated the role of M2 macrophage-derived exosomal lncRNA MIR4435-2HG in IHs. Exosomes derived from M2 polarized macrophages were extracted. Next, using cell co-culture or transfection, we investigated whether M2 polarized macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-exos) can transport MIR4435-2HG to regulate the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of hemangioma-derived endothelial cells (HemECs). RNA-seq and RNA pull-down assays were performed to identify targets and regulatory pathways of MIR4435-2HG. We explored the possible mechanisms through which MIR4435-2HG regulates the biological function of HemECs.We found that M2-exos significantly enhanced the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of HemECs. Thus, HemECs uptake M2-exos and promote biological functions through the inclusion of MIR4435-2HG. RNA-seq and RNA pull-down experiments confirmed that MIR4435-2HG regulates of HNRNPA1 expression and directly binds to HNRNPA1, consequently affecting the NF-?B signal pathway.In conclusion, MIR4435-2HG of M2-exos promotes the progression of IHs and enhances the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of HemECs by directly binding to HNRNPA1. This study not only reveals the mechanism of interaction between M2 macrophages and HemECs, but also provides a promising therapeutic target for IHs. Overall design: In our further investigation of the biological role of MIR4435-2HG in HemECs, lentiviral vectors with MIR4435-2HG knock down were constructed and successfully transfected into HemECs. We performed RNA-seq analysis of cells with shMIR4435-2HG and shNC.
