MiRNA profilng in IL-2 induced CD4+T cells

ABSTRACT: To evaluate role of miRNAs in proliferation and death of T cell, we performed miRNA profiling in activated CD4+T cells after IL-2 induction and depletion. Proliferation rate of IL-2 induced cells was measured by MTT assay. Then quantitative RT-PCR arrays on 739 miRNAs revealed up- and down-regulation of 170 miRNAs in IL-2 induced CD4+T cells relative to IL-2 depleted ones. For miRNA profiling, total RNA from activated CD4+T cells in the presence and the absence of IL-2 (0.75 n/ml) after 3 days was extracted. RNA isolation was carried out using miRCURYTM RNA isolation kit. cDNA synthesis and Q-RT-PCR were performed with miRCURY LNATM universal RT microRNA PCR kit. Both kits were purchased from Exiqon (Vedbaek, Denmark). According to manufacturer’s instructions, to synthesize cDNA, total RNA was added to enzyme mix, reaction buffer, and RNA spike-in (control RNA). Then, the mixture was incubated 60 min at 42 °C and 5 min at 95 °C. To perform Q-RT-PCR array, cDNA was added to SYBR green master mix and was dispensed into the 384-well plates (by a specific LNATM primer pair/ well); then the reaction was performed using a real-time PCR cycler (Roche LC480, USA) according to this program: 95°C for 10 min, 45 cycles at 95˚C for 10 sec, 60˚C for 1 min. For miRNA profiling, two 384-well plates (human panel I & II) were used and each reaction was performed twice. Each panel contained 6 reference primer sets as well as one control primer set (that targeted a synthetic spike-in RNA) and an inter-plate calibrator in triplicate. To analyze Q-RT-PCR data, GenEx software and ΔΔCT method were used. By Normfinder, SNORD49A (snoRNA U49) gene was identified as optimal reference gene for normalization. Fold change of each miRNA was calculated by the equation 2−ΔΔCT and logarithmically transformed (base 2). P-values were adjusted for multiple comparisons using Dunn-Benferroni correction.

Project description:Several versions of SWI/SNF complexes, BAF and PBAF, have been described based on unique subunit composition. We find that T cell development in the thymus and lymphoid periphery is largely normal in the absence of the PBAF-specific component BAF180. However, BAF180-deficient Th2 cells express high levels of the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10. BAF180 binds directly to regulatory elements in the Il-10 locus but is replaced by BAF250 BAF complexes in the absence of BAF180, resulting in increased histone acetylation and CBP recruitment to the IL-10 locus. These results demonstrate that BAF180 is a repressor of IL-10 transcription in Th2 cells and suggest that the differential recruitment of different SWI/SNF subtypes can have direct consequences on chromatin structure and gene transcription. mouse primary T helper lymphocytes, naïve and Th2 cells, resting and stimulated, comparison of wild-type and BAF180/Pbrm1 deficient cells RNA from T helper cells was compared in the presence (WT) and absence (KO) of the Pbrm1/BAF180 gene. Comparison was made in 2 T helper subsets (Naive and Th2), each under 2 condtions (resting and stimulated), in triplicate (A,B,C). Resting naïve CD4+ T cells (N) were purified to 95% purity from the spleens and lymph nodes of 4-6 week old Balb/c mice (WT, or BAF180 cKO) using CD4+CD62L+ T cell Purification Kit II per manufacturer’s instructions (Miltenyi). Stimulated Naive cells (S) were prepared from resting naive cells by stimulation for 24 hours on anti-CD3 (1ug/ml), anti-CD28 (2 ug/ml) coated plates at 1-2 x 106/ml. Resting Th2 cells (2U) were prepared from resting naive cells by plating onto anti-CD3 (1ug/ml), anti-CD28 (2 ug/ml) coated plates at 1-2 x 106/ml in the presence of 10ng/ml IL-4, 10ug/ml anti-IFN-gamma. IL-2 (100U/ml) was added 24 hours later. Cultures were expanded in IL-2 (100U/ml) three days after initial culture. Stimulated Th2 cells (2S) were prepared from resting Th2 cells, stimulated with PMA (50ng/ml) and Ionomycin (500ng/ml) for 1.5 hours. RNA was harvested from 3 replicates of the primary Th cells under each condition. RNA was isolated using RNAeasy Kit (Qiagen), Quality and quantity of the total RNA was checked with the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer using RNA 6000 Nano chips. RNA was labeled using the standard Illumina protocol and Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion; Austin, TX, cat # IL1791) Biotin labeled cRNA was hybridized to Illumina’s Sentrix MouseRef-8,v2 Expression BeadChips.

Project description:To investigate the regulatory mechanisms governing the malignant signature of different gliomas we analyzed microRNA expression profiles in human tumor samples of world health organization (WHO) grade I (benign tumors), II (low grade tumors) and IV (high grade tumors) and from primary cultures obtained from tumor samples of grade II and IV. Patients This study included tumor samples histologically verified as astrocytic gliomas obtained from patients who had undergone craniotomy for microsurgical tumor removal. According to the revised WHO classification, tumors were diagnosed as: grade I or pilocytic astrocytomas; grade II or diffuse fibrillary astrocytomas; grade IV or glioblastoma multiforme. Primary cell cultures from grade II and grade IV gliomas were also obtained and miRNA expression in these cultures were analyzed RNA extraction Total RNA, including small RNA, was isolated from tissue samples using the mirVanaTM miRNA Isolation Kit (Ambion) following the standard protocol. The quantity and quality of the purified RNA was evaluated by spectrophotometric analysis and electrophoresis on denaturing gel of acrylamide. Multiplex Real-Time Quantitative Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) The miRNAs were first converted to cDNA using Multiplex RT for TaqMan Array Human MicroRNA Panel. The RT Master mix included 100 mM each of dNTPs , 50 U/ml MultiScrabe reverse transcriptase (Applied Biosystems), 20 U/µl RNase inhibitor (Applied Biosystems) and 10X RT Buffer. The 10 µl reactions, including 7 µl of RT master mix, 2 µl of purified microRNA and 1 µl of Multiplex RT Human primer pool (Applied Biosystem), were incubated in ice for 5 min and then in a thermal cycler for 30 min at 16°C, 30 min at 42°C, 5 min at 85°C, and then hold at 4°C. miRNA levels were normalized to the expression of small nucleolar RNAs, RNU44, RNU48 and RNU6B. All reverse transcriptase reactions, including no-template controls and RT controls, were run in duplicate. Real-time PCR was performed using a standard TaqMan PCR kit procedure on an “Real Time Fast 7900 HT” PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The 100 µl PCR included 50 µl RT product (before diluited 1:60) and 50 µl TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix (2X) (Applied Biosystems). The total volume were loaded into Card TaqMan Low Density Array Human MicroRNA Panel (Applied Biosystem) including a total of 384 human microRNAs publicated on databases www.sanger.ac.uk. The reaction cards was runned at 50°C for 2 min and 95°C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of 97°C for 30s and 59,7°C for 1 min. All reactions were run in triplicate. Analysis of data was performed using the SDS 2.3 software using the 2-∆∆Ct (relative quantitative) method . The ∆Ct of every miRNA was determined in relation to the endogenous control RNA U6 that was invariably expressed in all samples. The ∆∆Ct value was determined in relation to the calibrator, namely the normal brain tissue. Resulting data were grouped according to the tumor grading e selectioned using a cut-off value of 3. Results were expressed as “fold change” over normal brain tissue.
