ABSTRACT: Neurotoxicity of formaldehyde (FA) in the human health attracted intensive studies Long-term exposure to FA leads to learning and memory decline and is responsible for the multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) or sick building syndrome (SBS). It was cleared that Formaldehyde impairs Learning and Memory in Hippocampal. however ,it is unclear if FA can disturb the olfactory bulb function miRNAs alterations were related to environmental chemical exposure. It was reported that FA inhale altered miRNAs expression in the nasal Epithelium and lung cells. In the present study, FA inhalation significatly alters miRNA expression profiles within olfactory bulb Eight week ICR male mouse. Mice were randomly assigned to three groups. The FA group exposed to 3ppm FA for six hours for consecutive 1 and 7days in a chamber which was described previously. The standard group was kept in same condition except the FA. After expose, both group mice were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane and decapitated. The OB was rapidly dissected
Project description:Achaete scute-like 2 (Ascl2), a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, controls the fate of intestinal stem cells. However, the role of Ascl2 in colon cancer progenitor cells remains unknown. The cell lines HT-29 (47.5-95% of CD133+ population) and LS174T (0.45% of CD133+ population) were chosen for functional evaluation of Ascl2 in colon cancer progenitor cells after gene knockdown by RNA interference. The microRNA (miRNA) microarrays identified 26 two-fold up-regulated miRNAs and 58 two-fold down-regulated miRNAs in shRNA-Ascl2/HT-29 cells and 178 two-fold up-regulated miRNAs and 172 two-fold down-regulated miRNAs in shRNA-Ascl2/LS174T cells. Two-condition experiment: shRNA-Ascl2/HT-29 cells vs. shRNA-Ctr/HT-29 cells, and shRNA-Ascl2/LS174T cells vs. shRNA-Ctr/LS174T cells. Biological replicates: 1 HT-29 cells stably transfected with shRNA-Ascl2/EGFP, 1 LS174T cells stably transfected with shRNA-Ascl2/EGFP, 1 HT-29 cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control/EGFP, and 1 LS174T cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control/EGFP, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:We performed this microRNA analysis on GBM cells and found that numerous miRNAs were differentially expressed under hypoxia condition. And we noticed that the tumor cells are able to survive in hypoxia and low nutrient microenvironment, resist external pressure and then exhibit invasion and metastasis, and also, reduce the sensitivity to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. We wanted to screen numerous significantly expressed microRNAs which could mediate the biological process under hypoxia.
Project description:Using the highly sensitive miRNA array, we screened 40 microRNAs abundant in the olfactory bulb and we explored the functions of these miRNAs in the olfactory bulb by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes annotation. The enrichment results indicated that these miRNAs mainly participated in the axon guidance process. Furthermore, the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and dual luciferase reporter assay results showed that miR-30c is a specific regulator of semaphorin-3A, which will give new insights in disclosing the mechanism of functional maintenance and sexual-specific differentiation of the olfactory bulb. In this study, three samples from steady-state mice were used to acquire the miRNA expression profiling and the function of the abudant miRNAs in the olfactory bulb were analyzed by bioinformatic methods.Finally, miR-30c was experimentally validated to be a regulator of semaphorin-3A, an important axon guidance cue in the nervous system.
Project description:miRNA profiles of the MSC-MVs and EPO-MVs were analyzed with a quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based array of the whole mice genome. Further analysis revealed differences in the miRNAs of 212 EPO-MVs (fold change ≥ 1.5 compared to the MSC-MVs), which constituted approximately 22.64% of all of the evaluated mouse miRNAs. Of all of the differences, 70.28% of the changes in the EPO-MV group involved upregulation To study the differential miRNA expression in MV and EPO-MV which might contributed to the better treatment in chronic kidney disease, we performed miRNA expression profiling of the culture supernatant of MSC with or without EPO incubation using the miRCURY LNA Array (v.18.0) (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark).

Project description:MicroRNA microarray profilling analysis was performed on exosomes derived from serum in patients with myeloma in two conditions of therapeutic efficacy, Bortezomib resistance and Bortezomib response. Bortezomib is approved and widely used treating myeloma. Two kinds of sample were analyzed. MicroRNA microarray profilling analysis (using miRCURY LNA microRNA Array, 7th generation REV - hsa, mmu & rno, mirBase release 18, ProductNumber=208520,208521,208522) was performed on exosomes derived from serum in patients with myeloma in two conditions of therapeutic efficacy, Bortezomib resistance and Bortezomib response.
Project description:We compared miRNA expression profiles among 5 groups of HepG2 cells treated with various concentrations (0,100,200 nM) of triptolide for 12 h or 24 h. Two-condition experiment, triptolide intervention vs. without intervention. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 treated, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:Several studies have suggested that MSCs have pleiotropic immuno-modulatory effects, including inhibition of T cell proliferation, suppression of NK cells proliferation, modulation of cytokine production, and inhibition of dendritic cell (DC) maturation etc. But the exactly mechanism are still largely unclear. We proposed to investigate the microRNA expression profile of psoriatic MSCs. 6 patients and 6 normal control were inrolled in the study, the microRNA expression profile of dermal MSCs were studied using the microarry.
