Estrogens are steroid hormones that have been implicated in a variety of cellular and physiological processes in the development of diseases such as cancer and are also known to be associated with the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals. Here we show that 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) alters microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in the adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). An association between E(2) and the expression of 25 miRNAs was found 12 h after treatment. Among the most up-regulated miRNAs were ...[more]

Project description:Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling activation by pathogens is critical to the induction of immune responses, and demands tight regulation. Chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) secretion triggered by TLR4 or TLR8 engagement is strongly inhibited upon simultaneous activation of both TLRs in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MD-DC). Impaired CCL2 secretion occurs concomitantly to IL-12 up-regulation, being part of a complex regulatory circuit ensuring optimal Th type 1 polarization. Interestingly, triggering selected TLRs or their combinations differently affects nuclear factor-kB p65 activation and microRNA expression. To investigate in details such different modulation we performed a microarray profiling of MD-DCs stimulated by different TLRs agonist or their combination in three different donors. We found that CCL2 supplies an important immunomodulatory role to DCs, and may contribute to dictate the cytokine profile in Th type 1 responses induced by DCs.

Project description:Differential expression of microRNAs was studied in maize leaves after an 8-h-exposure under UV-B light. As a control, plants were kept in the greenhouse in the absence of UV-B 4-week maize plants were grown in the greenhouse in the absence of UV-B. Then, they were divided in two groups. One group was treated with UV-B lights provided once for 8 h, starting 3 h after the beginning of the light period, using fixtures mounted 30 cm above the plants (Phillips, F40UVB 40 W and TL 20 W/12) at a UV-B intensity of 2 W m-2, UV-A: 0.65 W m-2. The bulbs were covered with cellulose acetate to exclude wavelengths <280 nm. For the second control group, plants were exposed for 8 h under the same lamps covered with polyester film (no UV-B treatment, UV-B: 0.04 W m-2, UV-A: 0.4 W m-2). Lamp output was recorded using a UV-B/UV-A radiometer (UV203 A+B radiometer, Macam Photometrics, Ltd, Livingston, UK) to insure that both the bulbs and filters provided the designated UV dosage in all treatments. Leaf samples were collected immediately after irradiation. RNA was extracted immediately after the treatments, and used for the microRNA microarray experiments.

Project description:Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world due to a limited regenerative capacity. In lieu of new muscle synthesis, the human heart replaces necrotic tissue with deposition of a non-contractile scar. In contrast, the adult zebrafish is endowed with a remarkable regenerative capacity, capable of de novo cardiomyocyte (CM) creation and scar tissue resolution when challenged with an acute injury. In these studies, we examined the contributions of the dynamically regulated microRNA, miR-101a, during adult zebrafish heart regeneration. We demonstrate that miR-101a expression is rapidly depleted within 3 days post-amputation (dpa) but is highly upregulated by 7-14 dpa, before returning to uninjured levels at the completion of the regenerative process. Employing heat-inducible transgenic strains and antisense oligonucleotides, we demonstrate that decreases in miR-101a levels at the onset of cardiac injury enhanced CM proliferation. Interestingly, prolonged suppression of miR-101a activity stimulates new muscle synthesis but with defects in scar tissue resolution. Upregulation of miR-101a expression between 7-14 dpa is critical to stimulate remodeling of the scar. Through a series of studies, we identified the proto-oncogene, fosab (cfos) as a potent miR-101a target gene, stimulator of CM proliferation, and inhibitor of scar tissue remodeling. Importantly, combinatorial depletion of fosab and miR-101a activity rescued defects in scar tissue resolution mediated by miR-101a inhibition alone. In summation, our studies indicate that the precise temporal modulation in the miR-101a/fosab genetic axis is critical for coordinating CM proliferation and scar tissue resolution during zebrafish heart regeneration.

Project description:Porphyromonas gingivalis is a pathogen in severe periodontal disease. Able to exploit an intracellular lifestyle within primary gingival epithelial cells (GECs), a reservoir of P. gingivalis can persist within the gingival epithelia. This process is facilitated by manipulation of the host cell signal transduction cascades which can impact cell cycle, cell death and cytokine responses. Using microarrays, we investigated the ability of P. gingivalis 33277 to regulate microRNA (miRNA) expression in GECs. One of several miRNAs differentially regulated by GECs in the presence of P. gingivalis was miR-203, which was upregulated 4-fold compared with uninfected controls. Differential regulation of miR-203 was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Putative targets of miR-203, suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 3 and 6, were evaluated by qRT-PCR. SOCS3 and SOCS6 mRNA levels were reduced >5-fold and >2-fold, respectively, in P. gingivalis-infected GECs compared with controls. Silencing miR-203 using a si-RNA construct reversed the inhibition of SOCS3 expression. A dual luciferase assay confirmed binding of miR-203 to the putative target binding site of SOCS3 3’ UTR. Western blot analysis demonstrated that activation of Stat3, a downstream target of SOCS, was diminished following miR-203 silencing. This study shows that induction of miRNAs by P. gingivalis can modulate important host signaling responses. MicroRNAs differentially expressed in human gingival epithelial cells in response to P. gingivalis infection were identified. P. gingivalis were reacted with primary gingival epithelial cells at an MOI of 100 for 6 hours at 37C in 5% CO2. Co-cultures were carried out in triplicate. The GECs were lysed with Trizol (Invitrogen) prior to RNA extraction and total RNA isolation. The microarray assay was performed using a service provider (LC Sciences). The assay started from 4 to 8 µg total RNA sample which was size fractionated using a YM-100 Microcon centrifugal filter (Millipore) and the small RNAs (< 300 nt) isolated were 3’-extended with a poly(A) tail using poly(A) polymerase. An oligonucleotide tag was then ligated to the poly(A) tail for later fluorescent dye staining. Hybridization was performed overnight on a µParaflo microfluidic chip using a micro-circulation pump (Atactic Technologies). The hybridization melting temperatures were balanced by chemical modifications of the detection probes. Hybridization used 100 uL 6xSSPE buffer (0.90 M NaCl, 60 mM Na2HPO4, 6 mM EDTA, pH 6.8) containing 25% formamide at 34 °C. After RNA hybridization, tag-conjugating Cy3 dyes were circulated through the microfluidic chip for dye staining. Fluorescence images were collected using a laser scanner (GenePix 4000B, Molecular Device) and digitized using Array-Pro image analysis software (Media Cybernetics). Microarray data were analyzed by first subtracting the background and then normalizing the signals using a LOWESS filter (Locally-weighted Regression). For a transcript to be listed as detectable it had a signal intensity higher than 3×(background standard deviation) and spot coefficient of variance (CV) < 0.5. CV was calculated by (standard deviation)/(signal intensity). When repeating probes are present on an array, a transcript is listed as detectable only if the signals from at least 50% of the repeating probes are above detection level. t-Test is performed between “control” and “test” sample groups. T-values are calculated for each miRNA, and p-values are computed from the theoretical t-distribution. miRNAs with p-values below a critical p-value (typically 0.01) are selected for cluster analysis. The clustering is done using hierarchical method and is performed with average linkage and Euclidean distance metric. This experiment includes a total of 6 samples which are divided in to 2 groups, each with 3 biological repeats: 3 untreated normal samples as controls and 3 infected samples as the treated condition.

Project description:Duck enteritis virus (DEV) is an important herpesvirus pathogen of waterfowl associated with an acute, highly contagious lethal disease. Using a deep sequencing approach on RNA from infected chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cultures, we determined the global changes in the microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles during DEV infection. In addition to the changes in the expression of a number of host miRNAs as a result of DEV infection, we identified several novel DEV-encoded miRNAs. Unlike most Mardivirus-encoded miRNAs, the majority of the DEV miRNAs were encoded within the unique long region of the viral genome. The precursors of DEV miR-D18 and miR-D19 overlapped with each other suggesting similarities to miRNA-offset RNAs, although only the DEV-miR-D18-3p was functional in reporter assays. Identification of these novel miRNAs will add to the growing list of virus-encoded miRNAs enabling the exploration of their roles in pathogenesis. Each microRNA is spotted on the array 6 times. We compared expression of duck enteritis virus (DEV)-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) with CEF control.

Project description:The mouse incisor is a remarkable tooth that grows throughout the animalM-bM-^@M-^Ys lifetime. This continuous renewal is fueled by epithelial stem cells that give rise to ameloblasts, which generate enamel, and little is known about the function of specific miRNAs in this process. Here we describe the role of a novel Pitx2:miR-200c/141:Noggin regulatory pathway in dental epithelial cell differentiation. miR-200c repressed noggin, an antagonist of Bmp signaling. Pitx2 expression caused an up-regulation of miR-200c and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays revealed endogenous Pitx2 binding to the miR-200c/141 promoter. A positive feedback loop was discovered between miR-200c and Bmp signaling. miR-200c/141 induced expression of E-cadherin and the dental epithelial cell differentiation marker, amelogenin. In addition, miR-203 expression was activated by endogenous Pitx2 and targeted the Bmp antagonist Bmper to further regulate Bmp signaling. miR-200c/141 knockout mice showed defects in enamel formation with decreased E-cadherin and amelogenin expression and increased noggin expression. Our in vivo and in vitro studies reveal a multistep transcriptional program involving the Pitx2:miR-200c/141:Noggin regulatory pathway that is important in epithelial cell differentiation and tooth development. Lower incisors of 3-5 P0 WT and Pitx2-Cre;Dicer1 cKO mices from same litter were dissected and combined for RNA extraction. Two different litters were analyzed. For mRNA microarray, CodeLink Mouse Whole Genome chips (Applied Microarrays) were used according to manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instruction (done at Genomics Core of TAMU). miRNA from P0 Lower Incisor ameloblast and cervical loops.

Project description:Background: There is a limited capacity to repair damage in the mammalian heart after birth, which is primarily due to the inability of cardiomyocytes to proliferate after birth. This is in contrast to zebrafish and salamander, in which cardiomyocytes retain the ability to proliferate throughout life and can regenerate their heart after significant damage. Recent studies in zebrafish and rodents implicate microRNAs (miRNAs) in the regulation of genes responsible for cardiac cell cycle progression and regeneration, in particular, miR-133a, the miR-15 family, miR-199a and miR-590. However, the significance of these miRNAs and miRNA in general in the regulation of cardiomyocyte proliferation in large mammals, including humans, where the timing of heart development relative to birth is very different than in rodents, is unclear. To determine the involvement of miRNAs in the down-regulation of cardiomyocyte proliferation occurring before birth in large mammals, we investigated miRNA and target gene expression in sheep hearts before and after birth. The experimental approach included targeted transcriptional profiling of miRNA and target mRNA previously identified in rodent studies as well as genome-wide miRNA profiling using microarrays. Results: The cardiac expression of miR-133a increased and its target gene IGF1R decreased with increasing age, reaching their respective maximum and minimum abundance when the majority of ovine cardiomyocytes were quiescent. The expression of the miR-15 family members was variable with age, however, four of their target genes decreased with age. These latter profiles are inconsistent with the direct involvement of this family of miRNA in cardiomyocyte quiescence in late gestation sheep. The expression patterns of ‘pro-proliferative’ miR-199a and miR-590 were also inconsistent with their involvement in cardiomyocyte quiescence. Consequently, miRNA microarray analysis was undertaken, which identified six discrete clusters of miRNA with characteristic developmental profiles. The functions of predicted target genes for the miRNA in four of the six clusters were enriched for aspects of cell division and regulation of cell proliferation suggesting a potential role of these miRNA in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the expression of miR-133a and one of its target genes is consistent with it being involved in the suppression of cardiomyocyte proliferation, which occurs across the last third of gestation in sheep. The expression patterns of the miR-15 family, miR-199a and miR-590 were inconsistent with direct involvement in the regulation cardiomyocyte proliferation in sheep, despite studies in rodents demonstrating that their manipulation can influence the degree of cardiomyocyte proliferation. miRNA microarray analysis suggests a coordinated and potentially more complex role of multiple miRNA in the regulation of cardiomyocyte quiescence and highlights significant differences between species that may reflect their substantial differences in the timing of this developmental process. RNA, (2 µg) from three heart samples from each of the 91 d (fetus), 141 d (fetus), 5 d (postnatal) and 173 d (postnatal) groups, was used for analysis according to standard procedures. The experimental design included three biological replicates from each of the four normal developmental ages in sheep and thus a total of 12 samples was analyzed.
