Project description:Pluripotent marker correlation between miR-302/367-iPS, ES and fibroblast cells Mouse fibroblast were reprogrammed with miR-302/367 lentiviral vector, total RNA was extracted by trizol and microarray assay was performed
Project description:To define the role of miR-302-367 cluster in cardiac development, we overexpressed miR-302-367 cluster in mouse heart by using R26R-miR-302-367; Nkx2.5-Cre mice. This data set contains the microarrays examining gene expression in the hearts of R26R-miR-302-367; Nkx2.5-Cre mice at postnatal day 14.

Project description:MEFs were infected with Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 (+/- Sall4), sorted for miR-290/302 reporter expression at day 9 (OSK) or 12 (Sall4+OSK), and then profiled. Resulting iPSCs were also profiled. Mouse ES cells were differentiated and sorted for miR-290/302 reporter expression during Fgf/Activin differentiation (day 4 or day 7).
Project description:We generated 10 human iPS-cell clones. We used microarray to evaluate global gene expression pattern, comparing with human ES cell and fibroblast
Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells were produced from reprogramming of somatic cells, and they are shown to possess pluripotent properties similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells. Here we used microarrays to detail the global expression pattern among the ES cells and iPS cells, as well as the original mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF), to identify important players involved in the reprogramming process.

Project description:Malignant germ-cell-tumours (GCTs) are characterised by microRNA (miRNA/miR-) dysregulation, with universal over-expression of miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 clusters regardless of patient age, tumour site, or subtype (seminoma/yolk-sac-tumour/embryonal carcinoma). These miRNAs are released into the bloodstream, presumed within extracellular-vesicles (EVs) and represent promising biomarkers. Here, we comprehensively examined the role of EVs, and their miRNA cargo, on (fibroblast/endothelial/macrophage) cells representative of the testicular GCT (TGCT) tumour microenvironment (TME). Small RNA next-generation-sequencing was performed on 34 samples, comprising representative malignant GCT cell lines/EVs and controls (testis fibroblast [Hs1.Tes] cell-line/EVs and testis/ovary samples). TME cells received TGCT co-culture, TGCT-derived EVs, and a miRNA overexpression system (miR-371a-OE) to assess functional relevance. TGCT cells secreted EVs into culture media. MiR-371~373 and miR-302/367 cluster miRNAs were overexpressed in all TGCT cells/subtypes compared with control cells and were highly abundant in TGCT-derived EVs, with miR-371a-3p/miR-371a-5p the most abundant. TGCT co-culture resulted in increased levels of miRNAs from the miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 clusters in TME (fibroblast) cells. Next, fluorescent labelling demonstrated TGCT-derived EVs were internalised by all TME (fibroblast/endothelial/macrophage) cells. TME (fibroblast/endothelial) cell treatment with EVs derived from different TGCT subtypes resulted in increased miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 miRNA levels, and other generic (eg, miR-205-5p/miR-148-3p) and subtype-specific (seminoma, eg, miR-203a-3p; yolk-sac-tumour, eg, miR-375-3p) miRNAs. MiR-371a-OE in TME cells resulted in increased collagen contraction (fibroblasts) and angiogenesis (endothelial cells), via direct mRNA downregulation and alteration of relevant pathways. TGCT cells communicate with nontumour stromal TME cells through release of EVs enriched in oncogenic miRNAs, potentially contributing to tumour progression.
