ABSTRACT: MiR-10a inhibits colon cancer invasion and metastasis. To search the candidate target genes of miR-10a, SW480 cells were transfected with miR-10a blockage to suppress miR-10a activity and the differentially expressed genes were detected by cDNA microarray analysis. Some of the up-regulated genes may be candidate target genes of miR-10a.
Project description:MiR-21 was found to be overexpressed in laryngeal carcinoma tissues. To search the candidate target genes of miR-21, the gene expression profiles of laryngeal carcinoma tissue compared with the adjacent normal tissue were detected using cDNA microarray.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that function as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. miRNAs affect a variety of signaling pathways and impaired miRNA regulation may contribute to the development of cancer and other diseases. We show that miRNA miR-10a interacts with the 5' untranslated region of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and enhances their translation. miR-10a alleviates translational repression of the ribosomal protein mRNAs during amino acid starvation and is required for their stress-mediated activation following anisomycin treatment. miR-10a binds immediately downstream of the regulatory 5' TOP motif and the 5´TOP is necessary for miR-10a translational enhancement. The results indicate that miR-10a may positively control global protein synthesis via stimulation of ribosomal protein mRNA translation and that the 5' TOP regulatory complex and miR-10a are functionally interconnected.
Project description:miR-10a has been shown to regulate proliferation and invasiveness of cancer cells and inflammatory responses of endothelial cells. The function of miR-10a in the skin has not been studied before. Here we examined miR-10a expression, regulation and functions in keratinocytes (KCs) in association with atopic dermatitis (AD).
Project description:Two colon cancer cell lines, SW480 and SW620, were originated from the same patient. The SW480 cell line was derived from a primary lesion, and the SW620 cell line was cultured from a lymph node metastasis with no intervening chemotherapy at a later time. Since these two cell lines are from a single person, it is likely that differences between the two cell lines represent the changes when cancer cells acquire metastatic potential. Thus, this system represents a perfect model for the study of metastatic mechanism. To investigate cancer metastasis associated miRNAs, we detected the miRNA profiles in these two cell lines.
Project description:We have found expression of miR-146a up-regulated in gastric cancer. To identify new targets of miR-146a we profiled the transcriptome after miR-146a over-expression in the human gastric cancer cell line SNU638. SNU638 cells were transfected in triplicates with 50 nM miR-146a or control (siGlo) using Lipofectamine 2000. Total RNA was harvested 24 h after transfection using Trizol reagent. There are a total of six arrays included in this experiment, including three biological replicates of mRNA expression after miR-146a over-expression and three controls in SNU638 cells.
Project description:This study investigates the miR-10a-mediated transcriptome in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). The EC transcriptome was profiled in miR-10a knockdown HAECs. Specifically, small amounts of EC RNA were isolated from control cells and miR-10 knockdown cells expressing miRNA inhibitor control (Dharmacon) and miR-10a inhibitors (Dharmacon), respectively . Eight 2-channel assays comparing knockdown to control were performed using the Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K [G4112F].
Project description:In this experiment, we want to assess the effect of a lentiviral miR-10a and miR-335 overexpression on the transcriptome of murine LSK (Lin-,Sca-1+,c-Kit+) cells. Primary LSK cells were transduced with lentiviral miRNA overexpression constructs (control: GFP overexpression) and sorted for transduced cells (GFP+) after five days of in vitro culture (Flt-3, TPO, IL-3, SCF containing media).
Project description:Proteomic analysis of differentially expressed proteins in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-10A cell lines when miR-200c and miR-203 were transiently expressed or inhibited, respectively.
