miR449 Protects Airway Regeneration by Controlling AURKA/HDAC6-Mediated Ciliary Disassembly.

Abstract

Airway mucociliary regeneration and function are key players for airway defense and are impaired in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Using transcriptome analysis in COPD-derived bronchial biopsies, we observed a positive correlation between cilia-related genes and microRNA-449 (<i>miR449)</i>. In vitro, <i>miR449</i> was strongly increased during airway epithelial mucociliary differentiation. In vivo, <i>miR449</i> was upregulated during recovery from chemical or infective insults. <i>miR0449</i><sup>-/-</sup> mice (both alleles are deleted) showed impaired ciliated epithelial regeneration after naphthalene and <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> exposure, accompanied by more intense inflammation and emphysematous manifestations of COPD. The latter occurred spontaneously in aged <i>miR449<sup>-/-</sup></i> mice. We identified Aurora kinase A and its effector target HDAC6 as key mediators in <i>miR449</i>-regulated ciliary homeostasis and epithelial regeneration. Aurora kinase A is downregulated upon <i>miR449</i> overexpression in vitro and upregulated in <i>miR449<sup>-/-</sup></i> mouse lungs. Accordingly, imaging studies showed profoundly altered cilia length and morphology accompanied by reduced mucociliary clearance. Pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 rescued cilia length and coverage in <i>miR449<sup>-/-</sup></i> cells, consistent with its tubulin-deacetylating function. Altogether, our study establishes a link between <i>miR449</i>, ciliary dysfunction, and COPD pathogenesis.
