Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play critical roles in regulating post transcriptional gene expression. Gall midges encompass a large group of insects that are of economic importance and also possess fascinating biological traits. The gall midge Mayetiola destructor, commonly known as the Hessian fly, is a model organism for studying gall midge biology and insect M-bM-^@M-^S host plant interactions. In this study, we systematically analyzed miRNAs from the Hessian fly. Deep-sequencing a Hessian fly larval transcriptome led to the identification of 89 miRNA species that are either identical or very similar to known miRNAs from other insects, and 184 novel miRNAs that have not been reported from other species. Microarray analyses revealed the expression of miRNA genes was strictly regulated during Hessian fly larval development and abundance of many miRNA genes were affected by host genotypes. The identification of a large number of miRNAs for the first time from a gall midge provides a foundation for further studies of miRNA functions in gall midge biology and behavior. Two wheat lines M-bM-^@M-^\MollyM-bM-^@M-^] and M-bM-^@M-^\NewtonM-bM-^@M-^] were used in the experiment. Newton is a susceptible winter wheat that contains no Hessian fly R gene, and Molly is a nearly isogenic line of Newton, but contains the R gene H13. Larvae were collected one and three days after egg hatch from susceptible Newton and resistant Molly plants. Total RNA extracted from the collected larvae was used for microarray analysis. Three biological replications were used for each treatment and at each time point.

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: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:In this study, miRNA expression in splenic lymphocytes from three genetically disparate lupus-prone mouse models (MRL-lpr, B6-lpr and NZB/WF1) were profiled. 49 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in MRL-lpr mice compared to MRL mice; and 24 miRNAs were differentially expressed in B6-lpr mice compared to B6 mice. Among these dysregulated miRNAs, we noted that 15 miRNAs were common to both lpr strains. Interestingly, microarray analysis of NZB/W and NZW at 3 months of age, an age when overt lupus disease is not evident in NZB/W mice, revealed that only one miRNA, miR-148a was significantly upregulated in NZB/W mice. The aim of this porject is to determine the common miRNA expression changes in splenocytes from different strains of murine lupus models. The splenocytes were prepared from genetically lupus-prone female mice including MRL/MpJ-Faslpr/J (MRL-lpr), NZBWF1/J (NZB/W), B6.MRL-Faslpr/J (B6-lpr) and their control mice MRL/MpJ (MRL), NZW/LacJ (NZW) and C57BL/6J (B6) mice (The Jackson laboratory, ME). Total RNAs, containing miRNAs were isolated from whole splenocytes using mirVana miRNA isolation kits (Ambion) following manufactory’s instructions and sent to LC Sciences (http://www.lcsciences.com/) for the microarray assay. The mouse miRNA array chips (Chip ID miRMouse 12.0 version), which included 617 unique, mature, mouse miRNA, based on the Sanger miRBase Release 12.0, were used in the assay.

Project description:A common characteristic of aging is the loss of skeletal muscle (sarcopenia) which can lead to falls and fractures. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are novel post-transcriptional modulators of gene expression with a potential role as a regulator of skeletal muscle mass and function. The purpose of this study was to profile miRNA expression patterns in aging human skeletal muscle using a miRNA array followed by in-depth functional and network analysis. Muscle biopsy samples from 36 men (young: 31±2; n=19; older: 73±3; n=17) were: 1) analyzed for the expression of miRNAs using a microRNA array 2) validated with Taqman quantitative real-time PCR assays, and 3) identified (and later validated) for potential gene targets using the bioinformatics knowledge base software, Ingenuity Pathways Analysis. We found that 18 miRNAs were differentially expressed in older humans (P<0.05 and >500 expression level). The Let-7 family members, Let-7b and Let-7e, were significantly elevated and further validated in older subjects (P<0.05). Functional and network analysis from Ingenuity determined that gene targets of the Let-7âs were associated with molecular networks involved in cell cycle control such as cellular proliferation and differentiation. We confirmed with real-time PCR that the mRNA expression of the cell cycle regulators, CDK6, CDC25A and CDC34 were downregulated in older subjects compared to the young (P<0.05). These data suggest that aging is characterized by an increased expression of Let-7 family members which may downregulate genes related to cellular proliferation. We propose that the increased Let-7 expression in older human muscle may be an indicator of impaired cell cycle function. We analyzed skeletal muscle biopsy samples from 19 young and 17 older male subjects that have participated in our previous and current research experiments. The subjects were not engaged in any regular exercise training at the time of the enrollment; however they were physically independent and overall healthy. Screening of subjects were performed with clinical history, physical exam, and laboratory tests including complete blood count with differential, liver and kidney function tests, coagulation profile, fasting blood glucose and oral glucose tolerance test, hepatitis B and C screening, HIV test, TSH, urinalysis, and drug screening. All subjects gave informed written consent before participating in the study, which was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas Medical Branch (which is in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki). Once recruited, a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan (Hologic QDR 4500W, Bedford, MA) was performed to measure body composition and lean mass. Study design. All subjects were admitted to the Clinical Research Center the day prior to the experiment, were provided a standardized dinner and were studied following an overnight fast under basal conditions. Subjects were studied during the same time of day to avoid potential circadian changes and refrained from exercise 48h prior to study participation. A muscle biopsy was obtained from the vastus lateralis of the leg. The biopsy was performed using a 5 mm Bergström biopsy needle, under sterile procedure and local anesthesia (1% lidocaine). Muscle biopsy sample was immediately blotted and frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80oC until analysis. The muscle biopsy sample was used for microRNA and gene analysis.

Project description:In this study, we examined if the composition of plasma miRNAs is altered in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and if these changes can be used as diagnostic markers. A microarray containing 875 human miRNAs was used to compare the miRNA profile of plasma collected from severe TBI patients (GCS M-bM-^IM-$ 8) to that of age-, gender-, and race-matched healthy volunteers. This screen identified 108 miRNAs in the plasma of healthy volunteers. Of these, 52 were found to be altered in plasma samples from persons with severe TBI, and an additional 8 miRNAs were detected only in the plasma of TBI patients. Plasma samples from 10 patients from either severe TBI (experimental group) or healthy volunteers (reference group; age-, gender-, and race-matched ) were pooled, the total RNA extracted in parallel, eluted in 100ul, and dried to 30 ul. Equal volumes of extracted plasma RNAs were assayed for global miRNA content using a service provider (LC Sciences, Houston, TX). There were no replicates performed for this screen. Healthy volunteer group served as the reference.
