Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a central role in the regulation of gene expression at the post transcriptional and/or translational level thus impacting various biological processes. Dysregulation of miRNAs could affect processes associated with progression of a variety of diseases including cancer. Majority of miRNA targeting in animals involves a 7-nt M-bM-^@M-^\seed regionM-bM-^@M-^] mapping to positions 2-8 at the moleculeM-bM-^@M-^Ys 5' end. The importance of this 7 nt sequence to miRNA function is evidenced by the fact that the seed region sequence of many miRNAs is highly conserved within and between species. In this study, we computationally and experimentally explore the functional significance of sequence variation within the seed region of human miRNAs. Our results indicate that change of a single nt within the 7-nt seed region changes the spectrum of targeted mRNAs significantly meanwhile further nt changes have little to no additional effect. This high functional cost of even a single nucleotide change within the seed region of miRNAs explains why the seed sequence is highly conserved among many miRNA families both within and between species and could help clarify the likely mechanisms underlying the evolution of miRNA regulatory control. mRNAs were collected from 3 miR-429 treated and 3 negative control miRNA treated HEY ovarian cancer cell samples. mRNA expression was captured on Affymetrix U133 Plus 2 chips. To compare mRNA expression pattern between the miR-429 treated cells and the negative control treated cells, present/absent calls were generated using MAS5, while signals were calculated using GCRMA and then log2 transformed. Expression of differentially expressed genes or down regulated miRanda-mirSVR predicted miRNA target genes was compared between miRNA treated samples.

Project description:Compulsory expression of miR-210 in normal endometrial stromal cells directed the induction of cell proliferation and vascular endothelial growth factor production, and the inhibition of apoptosis in through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation. Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs play definite roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The objective of the study was to determine the role of miR-210, one of the upregulated microRNA in endometriotic cyst stromal cells, in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Downstream targets of miR-210 were identified by Compulsory expression of miR-210 in normal eutopic endometrial stromal cells, a global mRNA microarray technique, and Ingenuity pathways analysis. NESCs were transfected with precursor hsa-miR-210 (Pre-miRTM miRNA precursor- hsa-miR-210, Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) or negative control precursor miRNA (Pre-miRTM miRNA precursor-negative control #1 Ambion) at a final concentration of 10 nM, using LipofectamineTM RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Forty-eight hours after transfection, total RNA from cultured NESCs transfected with precursor hsa-miR-210 (n=4) and NESCs (n=4) transfected with negative control precursor miRNA was extracted with an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Then, the samples were subjected to a gene expression microarray analysis with a commercially available human mRNA microarray (G4845A, Human Gene Expression 4x44K v2, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Project description:Defects in stress responses are important contributors in many chronic conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity-driven pathologies like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Specifically, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is linked with these pathologies and control of ER stress can ameliorate tissue damage. MicroRNAs have a critical role in regulating diverse stress responses including ER stress. Here we show that miR-494-3p plays a functional role during ER stress. ER stress inducers (tunicamycin and thapsigargin) robustly increase the expression of miR-494 in vitro in an ATF6 dependent manner. Surprisingly, miR-494 pretreatment dampens the induction and magnitude of ER stress in response to tunicamycin in endothelial cells. Conversely, inhibition of miR-494 increases ER stress de novo and amplifies the effects of ER stress inducers. Using Mass Spectrometry (TMT-MS) we identified many proteins that are downregulated by both tunicamycin and miR-494 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among these, we found 6 transcripts which harbor a putative miR-494 binding site. Our data indicates that ER stress driven miR-494 may act in a feedback inhibitory loop to dampen downstream ER stress signaling. We propose that RNA-based approaches targeting miR-494 or its targets may be attractive candidates for inhibiting ER stress dependent pathologies in human disease.

Project description:Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is a member of Coronaviridae family. Our previous research showed that TGEV infection could induce mitochondrial dysfunction and up-regulat miR-222 level. Therefore, we presumed that miR-222 might be implicated in regulating mitochondrial dysfunction induced by TGEV infection. To verify the hypothesis, the effect of miR-222 on mitochondrial dysfunction was detected and showed that miR-222 attenuated TGEV-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of miR-222 in TGEV-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, a quantitative proteomic analysis of PK-15 cells that were transfected with miR-222 mimics and infected with TGEV was performed. In total, 4151 proteins were quantified and 100 differentially expressed proteins were obtained (57 up-regulated, 43 down-regulated), among which thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) and cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) were down-regulated. THBS1 was identified as the target of miR-222. Knockdown of THBS1 and CD47 increased mitochondrial Ca2+ level and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) level. Together, our data establish a significant role of miR-222 in regulating mitochondrial dysfunction in response to TGEV infection.

Project description:Hemopoiesis entails a series of hierarchically organized events that proceed throughout cell specification and terminates with cell differentiation. Commitment needs the transcription factors effort that, in concert with microRNAs, drives cell fate specification, answering to promiscuous patterns of gene expression by turning on lineage-specific genes and repressing alternate lineage transcripts. Therefore microRNAs and mRNAs cooperate to direct cell fate decisions. We obtained microRNAs profiles from human CD34+ hemopoietic progenitor cells and in-vitro differentiated erythroblasts, megakaryoblasts, monoblasts and myeloblasts precursors and we analyzed them together with the gene expression profiles of the same populations. We found that for most part of microRNAs specifically up-regulated in one single cell progeny an inverse correlation between microRNAs and down-regulated putative targets expression levels occurs. We chose hsa-mir-299-5p as a model to get further insights into the possible biological relevance of this microRNAs-mRNAs expression integrated analytical approach and we asked if the forced expression of a single lineage-specific microRNA is able to control the cell fate of CD34+ progenitors grown in multilineage culture conditions. Gain and loss of-function experiments established that mir-299-5p regulates hemopoietic progenitors fate modulating reciprocally megakaryocytic-granulocytic versus erythroid-monocytic differentiation and has at least two genuine targets, the transcription factors CTCF and SOX4. CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells were transfected with the Amaxa Nucleofector Device, using the Human CD34 Cell Nucleofection Kit, accordingly to the manufacturer’s instructions (Amaxa Biosystem, Cologne, Germany), and 5µg of either the Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule—Negative Control # 1 (NC1) or the hsa-mir-299-5p Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule (299-5p) (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) and pulsed with the program U-008. The dataset is composed of three independent paired experiment of 299-5p gain of-function (three hsa-299-5p Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule nucleoporated samples and three paired Pre-miR miRNA Precursor Molecule—Negative Control # 1 transfected ones).

Project description:miR-223 is step-wise increasingly up-regulated in the normal esophagus - Barrett's esophagus -esophageal adenocarcinoma carcinoma sequence. In this study, we aimed to determine the function of miR-223 in esophageal adenocarcinoma carcinogenesis. miR-223 was transfected in OE33 cells using 10nM pre-miR hsa-miR-223 miRNA precursor (Ambion, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and lipofectamin 2000 (OE33_223_1 and OE33_223_2). Mock control OE33 cells were transfected with a negative control pre-miR miRNA (OE33_NEG_1 and OE33_NEG_2). HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip arrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA) were used for microarray hybridizations to examine the global gene expression of two biological replicated experiments (four samples in total). The array targets more than 25,000 annotated genes with 47,323 unique probes derived from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Reference Sequence (RefSeq) Release 38 and UniGene (Build 199) databases.
