Project description:To identify miRNA-target interactions that are important in bladder cancer metastasis, we profiled miRNA and mRNA expression in poorly metastatic cell lines T24 and LUC, and their metastatic derivatives FL4 and LUL2, respectively. We reasoned that miRNAs and genes that expressed differently between parental and derivative cell lines could potentially contribute to their disparity in metastatic competence. We further hypothesized that interactions between these miRNAs and target genes may play an important role in metastatic competence. We have developed the multiMiR R pacakge and database for such integrated analysis of miRNA-target interactions. Here we demonstrate how multiMiR was used to generate testable hypotheses that could be pursued experimentally. The data set here is from the mRNA expression profiling experiment. Please see E-MTAB-2611 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-2611/ ) for the microRNA profiling data set.

Project description:Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) is a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). EZH2 expression is significantly upregulated in MPNST. In our study, we investigated the function of EZH2 and the molecular mechanisms that are regulated by EZH2 in MPNST pathogenesis. Our findings enhance the knowledge of EZH2’s function and biology, and have the potential to provide a novel therapeutic approach for MPNST patients in the clinic. An EZH2 knockdown experiment was carried out in MPNST cells. There are one control and one siEZH2 samples for three cell lines (724,462,26T) and two repeats for each cell line, so in total there are 8 samples. Two group comparison Two group comparison

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the M-NM-^T835np mutant vs the wild-type strain grown in BHI to OD600=0.5. An intimate linkage between the regulation of biofilm formation, stress tolerance and genetic competence exists in the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans. We previously reported that the rcrRPQ genes, which encode ABC exporters (RcrPQ) and a MarR-family transcriptional regulator (RcrR) that represses the expression of the rcr operon, play a dominant role in regulation of development of genetic competence and connect competence with stress tolerance and (p)ppGpp production in S. mutans. Here we identify the region required for efficient RcrR binding to the rcr promoter region using purified recombinant RcrR (rRcrR) protein in electrophoretic mobility shift and fluorescence polarization assays. DNA fragments carrying mutations in the binding region resulted in decreased binding of rRcrR. Direct binding of RcrR to the comX gene promoter in vitro revealed that RcrR has the potential to directly regulate competence development. Likewise, direct interactions of rRcrR with the promoter region of relP, encoding a (p)ppGpp synthase, show the potential for RcrR-dependent modulation of (p)ppGpp pools. Introduction of mutations into the RcrR binding sites in the rcrR promoter region in vivo demonstrated that optimal RcrR binding is essential for proper expression of competence genes and optimal transformation efficiency. Transcription profiling by RNA-seq and mircroarrays of strains with mutations in rcrR showed that genes in the competence pathway were those most differentially expressed. Thus, here and in a accompanying paper, we establish mechanisms by which the products of the rcrRPQ operon integrate com gene expression, genetic transformation, ppGpp metabolism and stress tolerance in S. mutans Two-condition experiment, M-NM-^T835np mutant vs the wild-type strain.

Project description:We investigate the role of a long ncRNA transcribed from an ultraconserved region (T-UCR) in the control of post-transcriptional pri-miRNA processing. The regulation is based on complementarity between the lower stem region in pri-miR-195 transcript and the ultraconserved sequence in Uc.283+A, which prevents pri-miRNA cleavage by Drosha. Mutation of the site in either RNA molecule uncouples regulation in vivo and in vitro. We propose a model in which lower-stem strand invasion by Uc.283+A impairs microprocessor recognition and efficient pri-miRNA cropping. In this work, we characterize a new role for Uc.283+A as a direct interactor and regulator of pri-miRNA-195 maturation at the level of Drosha processing. We combine cellular assays with in vitro biochemical analyses to reveal the first case of RNA-directed downregulation of miRNA biogenesis by a T-UCR In the study presented here, a colorrectal cancer cell line (HCT-116) was transiently transfected with Uc.283+A in order to identify putative miRNA targets for Uc.283+A. Variant 1 represents a SNP variant (8x(T) repeat in the sequence). Variant 2 represents a SNP variant (9x(T) repeat in the sequence).

Project description:Squamous cell lung cancer (SCC) and adenocarcinoma are the most common subtypes of the lung tumours. The search for cancer-directed treatments has increased the need for understanding molecular features of either histological subtype. The aim of this study was to identify transcriptional regulation differences due to miRNA expression profiles between SCC and adenocarcinoma. For this propose, a total of 44 patients were evaluated to assess the correlation between the miRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels. Total RNA were isolated, amplified, labeled and hybridized on Agilent human whole genome V2 22 K microarray chip. qRT-PCR was conducted to validate our microarray data. MicroRNA expression was detected and quantified using the TaqMan Low Density Arrays. Predicted miRNA-mRNA interactions were taken from miRanda, miRWalk and TargetScan. After processing data, changes in 56 mRNAs as well as in 9 miRNAs were detected between SCC and adenocarcinoma. Nearly 20% of overall deregulated genes were targeted by at least one of the 9 miRNAs (miR-149, miR-205, miR-375, miR-378, miR-422a, miR-483-5p, miR-494, miR-601 and miR-708) differentially expressed between SCC and adenocarcinoma. Genes predicted (CEACAM6, CGN, CLDN3, ABCC3, MLPH, ACSL5, TMEM45B, MUC1) to be targeted by several miRNAs were individually validated by qRT-PCR. We found genes involved in tight junctions and other involved in resistance to anticancer agents. These genes were reliable biomarkers, with high sensitivity and specificity, to detect differences between the two most common histological subtypes of lung cancer. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that the transcriptional regulation differences through miRNA expression play an important role in key hallmarks of non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Social plasticity is a pervasive feature of animal behavior. Animals adjust the expression of their social behavior to the daily changes in social life and to transitions between life-history stages, and the ability to change in these ways impacts their Darwinian fitness. This behavioral plasticity may be achieved either by rewiring or by biochemically switching nodes of the neural network underlying the social behavior in response to perceived social information. Independent of the proximate mechanisms, at the neuromolecular level social plasticity relies on the regulation of gene expression, such that different neurogenomic states emerge in response to different social stimuli and the switches between states are orchestrated by signaling pathways that interface the social environment and the genotype. Here, we test this hypothesis by characterizing the changes in the brain profile of gene expression in response to social odors in the Mozambique Tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. This species has a rich repertoire of social behaviors during which both visual and chemical information are conveyed to conspecifics. Specifically, dominant males increase their urination frequency during agonist encounters and during courtship to convey chemical information reflecting their dominance status. We recorded electro-olfactograms to test the extent to which the olfactory epithelium can discriminate between olfactory information from dominant and subordinate males as well as from pre- and post-spawning females. We then performed a genome-scale gene expression analysis of the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortex homolog in order to identify the neuromolecular systems involved in processing these social stimuli. Our results show that different olfactory stimuli from conspecificsM-bM-^@M-^Y have a major impact in the brain transcriptome, with different chemical social cues eliciting specific patterns of gene expression in the brain. These results confirm the role of rapid changes in gene expression in the brain as a genomic mechanism underlying behavioural plasticity and reinforce the idea of an extensive transcriptional plasticity of cichlid genomes, especially in response to rapid changes in their social environment. Brain samples from 40 African cichlid males, Oreochromis mossambicus were collected after stimulation with different social olfactory stimuli. Samples were collected from 2 brain areas: BO and Dp after males were exposed to dominant (DOM) and subordinate (SUB) male urine and pre- (PRE) and post-ovulatory (POST) female scent. In OB 5 replicates were collected from males exposed to DOM and 6 to the other stimuli. For Dp 5 replicates were collected from males exposed to DOM and POST, 4 to SUB and 6 to PRE.

Project description:To gain deeper insight into the mechanism of toxicity, it is important to identify and characterize miRNAs profiles involved in responses to specific classes of toxicants in conjunction with their impact on gene expression levels. However, few reports have described the effects of toxicants on miRNA expression profiles. Taking into account the prominent role of miRNAs in cancer development, progression, cell cycle control, and proliferation-related processes, it is likely that miRNAs are involved in the toxic response induced by carcinogens. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a well-characterized class of human carcinogens. In the present study, we documented the different expression profiles of miRNAs in environmental carcinogen-exposed HepG2 cells by miRNA microarray analysis. To evaluate the change in miRNA expression levels, human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells were exposed to two PAHs (benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene) for 48 h. miRNA expression analysis was conducted using a 8x16k human miRNA microarray (Agilent Technologies, USA).
