MiRNA expression profiling and to explore the role of miRNAs in DC120-mediated Sox2 down-regulation

ABSTRACT: From the results of microarray, 7616 miRNAs with significantly different expression ratios were selected when CNE-2-S-18/SP cells were treated with DC120. Among these, 80 miRNAs were up-regulated and 78 were down-regulated. We then chose 20 miRNAs through the qRT M-bM-^@M-^S PCR, and our results showed that 9 miRNAs were up-regulated after treatment with DC120, which was consistent with the results of the microarray. Among these, miR-30a were significantly up-regulated. These results indicated that miR 30a expression was up-regulated by DC120. We then investigated the role of miR 30a in DC120-treated cells, we explored its potential targets using a bioinformatics approach of complementary base pairing. The relative luciferase activity of the reporter that contained the wild type 3' UTR was significantly suppressed when miR 30a was contransfected. In contrast, the luciferase activity of the mutant reporter was unaffected by the contransfection of miR 30a, indicating that miR 30a suppressed Sox2 gene expression using the miR 30a binding sequence at the 3' UTR of the Sox2 gene. Additionally, the ectopic expression of miR 30a caused a decrease in Sox2 protein expression and mRNA levels in CNE-2-S-18 cells. These data demonstrate that miR 30a may directly target the Sox2 gene via seed matches on both 3' UTR. Taken together, our results demonstrate that DC120 regulates Sox2 via up-regulation of miR 30a. In this study, two samples were used to acquire the miRNA expression profiling. We analyzed the differences in miRNA profiles between control (DMSO solution) and DC120 treatment in CNE-2-S-18/SP cells from miRNA microarrays. The CNE-2-S-18/SP cells were separately cultured with a DMSO solution or 10M-NM-

Project description:The regulation of gene expression in cells, including by microRNAs (miRNAs), is a dynamic process. Current methods for identifying microRNA targets by combining sequence, miRNA and mRNA expression data do not adequately utilize the temporal information and thus miss important miRNAs and their targets. We developed a new method, mirDREM, that uses probabilistic modeling to reconstruct dynamic regulatory networks which explain how temporal gene expression is jointly regulated by microRNAs and transcription factors (TFs). We used mirDREM to study the regulation of postnatal lung development in mice. The reconstructed network for this process identified several known miRNAs and TFs and provided novel predictions about additional miRNAs and the specific developmental phases they regulate. Microarray data of Mouse Lung Epithelial cells MLE-12 after transfection with inhibitors for miR-30a, miR-30d, miR-23b and miR-125 and with precursors for miR-337, miR-466a, miR466d and miR-476c. The results provide a general insight into the gene expression profile which was modulated by the inhibition or overexpression of these microRNAs. We experimentally validated several predictions and show that miR-30d, miR-30a, and miR-467c are new regulators of proliferation in lung cells. Our analysis establishes new links between identified miRNAs and lung diseases, supporting recent evidence that such diseases may represent reversal of lung differentiation. We first analyzed the endogenous expression of miR-30a, miR-30d, miR-23b, miR-125, miR-337, miR-466a, miR466d and miR-476c in MLE-12 cells. Then, we transfected the MLE-12 cells with inhibitors ( miR-30a, miR-30d, miR-23b and miR-125) for the highly expressed and precursos for those that were almost undetectable (miR-337, miR-466a, miR466d and miR-476c). RNA level of the 8 microRNAs was verify by qRT-PCR in order to validate the transfection efficiency. Finally, 0.5ug of total RNA was used to performe the gene expression microarrays for each condition

Project description:The extraocular muscles (EOMs) are a unique group of muscles that are anatomically and physiologically distinct from other skeletal muscles. Previously, we and others have shown that EOMs have a unique transcriptome and proteome. Here, we investigated the expression pattern of microRNAs (miRNAs) in EOM, as they may play a role in generating the unique EOM allotype. We screened LC Sciences miRNA microarrays covering the sequences of miRBase 10.0 to define the microRNAome of normal mouse EOM and tibialis anterior (TA) limb muscle. 74 miRNAs were found to be differentially regulated (p-value < 0.05) and 31 miRNAs (14 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated) were found to be differentially regulated at a signal strength > 500 including the muscle-specific miR-206, miR-1, miR-133a, miR-133b and miR-499. qPCR analysis was used to validate the differential expression. Bioinformatic tools were used to identify potential miRNA-mRNA-protein interactions and integrate data with previous transcriptome and proteomic profiling data. Luciferase assays using co-transfection of precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) along with reporter constructs containing the 3â-untranslated region (3âUTR) of their predicted target genes were used to validate targeting by identified miRNAs. The definition of the EOM microRNAome complements existing transcriptome and proteome data about the molecular make-up of EOM and provides further insight into regulation of muscle genes. These data will also help to further explain the unique EOM muscle allotype and its differential sensitivity to diseases such as Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) and may assist in development of therapeutic strategies. Total RNA from four EOM and four TA tissue samples dissected from four adult male C57/Bl10 mice were used (TA served as control) to screen four LC Sciences microRNA Microarray chips. The chips contained microRNA sequences based on miRBase content 10.0 totalling 568 different miRNAs. Samples were labelled with Cy3 and Cy5 using dye-swap. Relative differences of miRNA expression was expressed as fold-changes EOM/TA, which were calculated after normalization across all four arrays.

Project description:Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common type in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and the development of LSCC are multistep processes accompanied by changes of molecular biology. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the miRNAs basis of tumorigenesis in LSCC, and analyze the microRNAs dysregulation related with the six targeted genes (CDK1,CDK2, CDK4, MCM2, MCM3, MCM4) which were related to tumorigenesis from the screened miRNAs. Methods: A total number of 5 patients who underwent surgery for primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were recruited for miRNA array analysis. LSCC tissues compared with corresponding adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were analysed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array 3.0 to screen effective miRNAs, then mirfocus 3.0 database (http://mirfocus.org/index.php) was adopted to select putative regulated miRNAs of the six targeted genes. Moreover, the selected putative regulated miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 36 patients diagnosed for LSCC. Results: Analysed by the miRNAs arrays, there were 127 miRNAs significantly related to tumorigenesis ,and 78 showed a higher expression in tumor than in non-tumor tissue while 49 presented the contrasting pattern(P<0.01).Then analyzed by mirfocus 3.0 database, there were 2 putative regulated miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p and hsa-miR-183-5p, corresponding to three of the six targeted genes. Among the 2 putative miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p regulated MCM4,CDK1 and CDK4,while hsa-miR-183-5p regulated MCM4 only. Another miRNA we should focus on is hsa-miR-30a-5p, a tumor-suppressive factor, which was down-expressed obviously analysed by the miRNAs arrays. The expression of the 3 putative regulated miRNAs were also validated by qRT-PCR in another 36 patients (P<0.05). Conclusions: The research revealed 127 miRNAs expression signature of tumorigenesis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma,and analyzed 3 putative regulated miRNAs, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-183-5p and hsa-miR-30a-5p, as potential diagnostic and therapeutic markers in LSCC. The result will contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis of LSCC and help to improve the treatment.
