The Circular RNA Interacts with STAT3, Increasing Its Nuclear Translocation and Wound Repair by Modulating Dnmt3a and miR-17 Function.
Molecular Therapy 2017 September 7
Delayed or impaired wound healing is a major health issue worldwide, especially in patients with diabetes and atherosclerosis. Here we show that expression of the circular RNA circ-Amotl1 accelerated healing process in a mouse excisional wound model. Further studies showed that ectopic circ-Amotl1 increased protein levels of Stat3 and Dnmt3a. The increased Dnmt3a then methylated the promoter of microRNA miR-17, decreasing miR-17-5p levels but increasing fibronectin expression. We found that Stat3, similar to Dnmt3a and fibronectin, was a target of miR-17-5p. Decreased miR-17-5p levels would increase expression of fibronectin, Dnmt3a, and Stat3. All of these led to increased cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, survival, and wound repair. Furthermore, we found that circ-Amotl1 not only increased Stat3 expression but also facilitated Stat3 nuclear translocation. Thus, the ectopic expressed circ-Amotl1 and Stat3 were mainly translocated to nucleus. In the presence of circ-Amotl1, Stat3 interacted with Dnmt3a promoter with increased affinity, facilitating Dnmt3a transcription. Ectopic application of circ-Amotl1 accelerating wound repair may shed light on skin wound healing clinically.
