Expression profiling of microRNAs in Bovine ovarian follicular development

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to identify miRNAs expression profiles associated with growth and regression of dominant-size follicles in bovine. Follicles were collected from abattoir ovaries and their status (healthy/atretic) was assessed by measuring steroid levels and aromatase expression. Total RNA was isolated from whole follicles at different developmental stages. An heterologous microarray (Exiqon, Denmark) approach followed by RT-qPCR validation (Qiagen, UK) was used to identify and compare miRNA profiles between large healthy follicles (diameter, 13M-bM-^@M-^S16 mm, n=6) and each of small (4M-bM-^@M-^S8 mm, n=6 pools of follicles) and large atretic folllicles (13-16 mm, n=6). RNA from the above groups was hybridized to the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Hi-Power Labeling Kit,Hy3M-bM-^DM-"/Hy5M-bM-^DM-" (Exiqon) and hybridized on the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Array (6th gen). A total of 17 and 57 microRNAs were differentially expressed (> 2 fold, adj. P-value < 0.05) between Large Healthy and each of Small and Large Atretic follicles, respectively, a fraction of which corresponded to registered bovine miRNA sequences. A subset of 5 bovine miRNAs (miR-144, miR-202,vmiR-451, miR-652, miR-873) were confirmed by qPCR to be upregulated in Large Healthy follicles, were enriched in mural granulosa cells and their predicted targets mapped to genes involved in follicular cell proliferation and differentiation, suggesting an involvemet of this subset of microRNAs in ovarian follicle development. Six biological replicates per developmental stage (total of 18 samples) were used in a double dye microRNA microarray experiment. Samples were distributed among slides so that each experimental group was represented at least once in each slide. For each gene, mean normalized intensities (n= 6 biological replicates/group) were compared between follicle stages (SF vs LHF and LHF vs LAF).

Project description:We investigated the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNA) in 27 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) FFPE tissues (3 chRCC, 5 papRCC and 18 ccRCC), 4 upper urinary tract-urothelial cell carcinomas of the renal pelvis-ureter (UUT-UCCs) and 20 normal kidneys by using the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Array, 6th gen (Exiqon, Woburn MA), containing capture probes that target all miRNAs for all species registered in the miRBASE version 16.0. Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) using appropriate endogenous controls was performed in order to validate the microarray results of the 27 most differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs. We identified 434 miRNAs that were significantly deregulated in all kidney tumours compared to the normal tissues. A total of 126 miRNAs (29%) had increased expression while 303 (69.8%) had decreased expression in RCC. Out of the 434 DE miRNAs, we detected 94 co-up-regulated and 218 co-down-regulated microRNAs among chRCC, papRCC and ccRCC. Of these, 89 and 203 were co-up- and co-down-regulated between RCCs and UUT-UCCs, respectively. We detected 11, 44 and 24 up-regulated miRNAs, which were specific for ccRCC, chRCC and papRCC, respectively. Moreover, 19, 18 and 8 miRNAs were uniquelly down-regulated in ccRCC, chRCC and papRCC, respectively. We also detected 89 and 203 co-up- and co-down-regulated miRNAs between kidney cancer and UUT-UCCs. Five miRNAs were up-regulated specifically in renal tumours and 49 in UUT-UCCs, whereas 15 miRNAs were down-regulated specifically in renal tumours and 89 in UUT-UCCs, respectively. Our data validicate that expression of miRNAs tends to be down-regulated renal cell carcinomas compared with normal kidney. We used 18 ccRCC, 3 chRCC, 5 papRCC, 4 UUT-UCC, 1 undifferentiated carcinoma and 19 normal tissue samples for miRNA profiling. Total RNA (0.5 M-BM-5g) from each sample and reference was labeled with Hy3M-bM-^DM-" fluorescent label, using the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Hi-Power Labeling Kit (Exiqon, Woburn MA). The Hy3M-bM-^DM-\"-labeled samples were hybridized to the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Array, 6th gen (Exiqon, Woburn MA), using an Agilent hybridization SureHyb chamber and gasket slide kits. After hybridization, the microarray slides were scanned at 10 M-NM-<m using the High-Resolution Microarray Scanner (Agilent Technologies) and stored in an ozone free environment. The image analysis was carried out using the ImaGene 8.0 software (BioDiscovery, Inc., USA). Raw microarray data were filtered, background corrected and quantile normalizated. Normalized data were further extracted, pre-processed and sorted with Microsoft ExcelM-BM-.. MicroRNAs were considered to be significantly differentially expressed if they obtained a p-value<0.05 and a FDRM-bM-^IM-$0.05.

Project description:Background: T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA) proteins function as regulators of cell homeostasis. These proteins control gene expression globally at multiple levels in response to dynamic regulatory changes and environmental stresses. Herein we identified a micro(mi)RNA signature associated to transiently TIA-depleted HeLa cells and analyzed the potential role of miRNAs combining genome-wide analysis data on mRNA and miRNA profiles. Results: Using high-throughput miRNA expression profiling, transient depletion of TIA-proteins in HeLa cells was observed to promote significant and reproducible changes (>2-fold, FDR<0.0001) affecting to a pool of up-regulated miRNAs (miR-30b*, miR125a-3p, miR-193a-5p, miR-197_MM2, miR-203, miR-210, miR-371-5p, miR-373*, miR-483-5p, miR-492, miR-498, miR-503, miR-572, miR-586, miR-612, miR-615, miR-623, miR-625, miR-629, miR-638, miR-658, miR-663, miR-671, miR-769-3p and miR-744). Differential expression analysis of some miRNAs was validated by reverse transcription and real time PCR. By target prediction and combined analysis of the genome-wide expression profiles of the mRNAs and miRNAs identified in TIA-depleted HeLa cells, we detected concomitant connections between up-regulated miRNAs and putative and experimental targeted mRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database analyses suggest that targeted mRNAs are related with biological processes associated to the regulation of DNA-dependent transcription, signal transduction and multicellular organismal development as well as with the enrichment of pathways in cancer, focal adhesion, regulation of actin cytoskeleton and MAPK and Wnt signalling pathways, respectively. Conclusion: All this considered, these observations suggest that specific miRNAs could act as potential mediators of the epigenetic switch linking transcriptomic dynamics and cell phenotypes mediated by TIA proteins. The analysis includes two cell types. Three biological replicates were performed per cell type and they were compared by using three dual-channel microarray hybridizations.

Project description:Prolificacy related traits are of great economical interest in the pig industry. microRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression important for reproductive processes. In pigs, the roles of ovarian miRNAs during gestation remain unknown although the ovaries are essential during gestation. It has been hypothesised that ovarian miRNAs could participate during the porcine gestation and, moreover, they could influence the prolificacy levels of sows. The miRNA expression profile was compared in the ovaries of pregnant Iberian x Meishan F2 sows displaying extreme phenotypes regarding prolificacy levels defined as the number of embryos (NE) attached to the uterus at 30-32 days of gestation. miR-146a-5p and miR-142-3p were differentially expressed between high (NEM-bM-^IM-%13) and low (NEM-bM-^IM-$11) prolificacy sows. In silico functional analyses of the predicted mRNA targets for these miRNAs revealed that miR-146a-5p targets were mainly involved in the immune system response important for the establishment of the maternal-foetal tolerance, implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. On the other hand, miR-142-3p targets participated in different biological processes that would contribute to the homeostasis maintenance to ensure a correct functional development of the ovaries. miRNAs associated with prolificacy levels could regulate negatively, by a novel post-transcriptional mechanism, their predicted mRNA targets, PPM1K, TLR1 and CPEB2 which have been reported as differentially expressed in the ovaries of pregnant sows regarding the prolificacy levels. Furthermore, among predicted mRNA targets for miRNAs associated with prolificacy, four genes, differentially expressed in the ovaries of pregnant sows regarding prolificacy levels, (LRRK1, BAT1, CPEB2, CCL8) are proposed to be good candidate genes for litter size due to their location within confidence intervals for prolificacy QTL described previously. Overall, it is suggested that the up-regulation of miR-146a-5p and miR-142-3p in the ovaries of pregnant sows could help in the establishment of a uterine environment, which would favor the embryonic development. Total RNA was isolated from uterus of Iberian x Meishan F2 pregnant sows divided into two groups: High prolificacy sows (n=3) and Low prolificacy sows (n=3). RNA was labeled with the Cy3-like Hy3M-bM-^DM-" dye, mixed with a pool of RNA from the six samples labeled with the Cy5-like Hy5M-bM-^DM-" dye, and hybridized to two-color miRCURYM-bM-^DM-" arrays from ExiqonM-BM-..
