Gene Expression Profile for the identification of miR-126 targets

ABSTRACT: "The analysis was designed to search for putative seed sequences for miR-126 in the 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of up-regulated genes. ECs were co-transfected with anti-miR-126 and a plasmid vector bearing the GFP-coding sequence and three complementary sites for miR-126 downstream. As a consequence of the presence of miR-126 binding sites the GFP expression was under the control of miR-126. Fluorescente cells were the cells transfected with anti-miR-126 oligo. MiR-126 target enrichment analysis was performed on the basis of the Miranda database, as provided by Diana miRGen. Significance was estimated on the basis of hyper geometric distribution p-values comparing the occurrence of miR targets in the signature with respect to the universe, defined as the genes expressed in HUVEC. Frequency of log 2 ratio between the subset of mir-126 targets and the genes which are not targets of miR-126 were plotted, highlighting enrichment of the target of miR in differentially regulated genes. " 3 x biological replicates of transiently trasfected cells with anti miR-126 oligo (LNA), and controls oligo. 2 biological replicates for GFP are included as technical controls.

Project description:Background: Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of bone and show multiple and complex genomic aberrations. miRNAs are non-coding RNAs capable of regulating gene expression at the post transcriptional level, and miRNAs and their target genes may represent novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers for osteosarcoma. In order to investigate the involvement of miRNAs in osteosarcoma development, global microarray analyses of a panel of 19 human osteosarcoma cell lines was performed. Principal findings: We identified 177 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in osteosarcoma cell lines relative to normal bone. Among these, miR-126/miR-126*, miR-142-3p, miR-150, miR-223, miR-486-5p and members of the miR-1/miR-133a, miR-144/miR-451, miR-195/miR-497, and miR-206/miR-133b clusters were found to be downregulated in osteosarcoma cell lines. All miRNAs in the paralogous clusters miR-17-92, miR-106b-25 and miR-106a-92 were overexpressed. Furthermore, the upregulated miRNAs included miR-9/miR-9*, miR-21*, miR-31/miR-31*, miR-196a/miR-196b, miR-374a and members of the miR-29, miR-130/301 families. The most interesting inversely correlated miRNA/mRNA pairs in osteosarcoma cell lines included miR-9/TGFBR2 and miR-29/the p85M-NM-1 regulatory subunit of PI3K. PTEN mRNA correlated inversely with miR-92a and members of the miR-17 and miR-130/301 families. Expression profiles of selected miRNAs were confirmed in clinical samples. A set of miRNAs, miR-1, miR-18a, miR-18b, miR-19b, miR-31, miR-126, miR-142-3p, miR-133b, miR-144, miR-195, miR-223, miR-451 and miR-497 was identified with an intermediate expression level in osteosarcoma clinical samples compared to osteoblasts and bone, which may reflect the differentiation level of osteosarcoma relative to the undifferentiated osteoblast and fully differentiated normal bone. Significance: This study provides an integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA in osteosarcoma, and gives new insight into the complex genetic mechanisms of osteosarcoma development and progression. 19 osteosarcoma cell lines, 4 normal bones used as controls. No replicates. The group of osteosarcomas are compared to the group of normal bones.
