Project description:This study describes differential miRNA expression in small intestinal lamina propria leukocyte samples longitudinally during the course of SIV infection of rhesus macaques. Notably, the T-cell activation associated miR-15b, miR-142-3p, miR-142-5p and miR-150 expression was significantly downregulated at 90 and 180DPI. Further, reporter and overexpression assays validated IRAK1 as a direct miR-150 target. Furthermore, IRAK1 protein levels were markedly elevated in intestinal LPLs and epithelium. Finally, blockade of CD8+ T-cell activation/proliferation with delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (ï9-THC) significantly prevented miR-150 downregulation and IRAK1 upregulation. Our findings suggest that miR-150 downregulation during T-cell activation may disrupt the translational control of IRAK1 facilitating persistent GI inflammation. We performed TaqMan Low Density Array based high throughput miRNA analysis on small intestine tissue from 12 chronically SIV-infected and 4 uninfected control macaques. All SIV-infected animals were inoculated intravenously with 100TCID50 of SIV. Out of the ten, one animal each was at 7, 8 and 10DPI (days post infection), 3 each at 13 and 21DPI, and 1 at 29DPI. microRNA reverse transcription and preamplification was performed according to the manufacturerâs recommendation. Data analysis was performed using RQ Manager 1.2.2 and DataAssist v3.01 software. Data was normalized using Global normalization method and multiple comparisons correction was performed using Benjamini-Hochberg method.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is an embryonic tumor arising from immature sympathetic nervous system progenitor cells. MYCN and ALK are driver oncogenes both of which are specifically expressed during early neurogenesis. This is in line with the assumption that NB arises through disruption of normal developmental processes. MYCN has a broad impact on the tumor phenotype; however, the details of the MYCN driven oncogenic program are far from clear. In recent studies we demonstrated that MYCN drives the expression of a defined set of miRNAs that tightly control the expression of several key MYCN target genes, including several components of the TGFβ signaling pathway. In order to gain further insight into the role of miRNAs in NB initiation and progression, we evaluated miRNA profiles of hyperplastic ganglia and tumors isolated from MYCN transgenic mice.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease is associated with progressive renal fibrosis, where perivascular cells give rise to the majority of α-SMA positive myofibroblasts. We sought to identify pericytic miRNAs that could serve as a target to decrease myofibroblast formation. We induced kidney fibrosis in FoxD1-GC;Z/Red-mice by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) followed by FACS sorting of dsRed-positive FoxD1-derivative cells and miRNA profiling. MiR-132 selectively increased 21-fold during pericyte-to-myofibroblast formation whereas miR-132 was only 2.5-fold up in total kidney lysates (both in UUO and ischemia-reperfusion injury). MiR-132 silencing in UUO decreased collagen deposition (35%) and tubular apoptosis. Immunohistochemistry, western blot and qRT-PCR confirmed a similar decrease in interstitial α-SMA+ cells. Pathway analysis identified a rate-limiting role for miR-132 in myofibroblast proliferation that was confirmed in vitro. Indeed, antagomir-132 treated mice displayed a reduction in the number of proliferating, ki67+ interstitial myofibroblasts. Interestingly, this was selective for the interstitial compartment and did not impair the reparative proliferation of tubular epithelial cells, as evidenced by an increase in ki67+ epithelial cells, as well as increased (p-)RB1, Cyclin-A and decreased RASA1, p21 levels in kidney lysates. Taken together, silencing miR-132 counteracts the progression of renal fibrosis by selectively decreasing myofibroblast proliferation and could potentially serve as a novel antifibrotic therapy. Total RNA obtained from FACS sorted mouse FoxD1-derivative interstitial cells from healthy or fibrotic kidneys

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/M-BM-5l RNase inhibitor (Applied Biosystems) and 10X RT Buffer. The 10 M-BM-5l reactions, including 7 M-BM-5l of RT master mix, 2 M-BM-5l of purified microRNA and 1 M-BM-5l 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 16M-BM-0C, 30 min at 42M-BM-0C, 5 min at 85M-BM-0C, and then hold at 4M-BM-0C. 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 M-bM-^@M-^\Real Time Fast 7900 HTM-bM-^@M-^] PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The 100 M-BM-5l PCR included 50 M-BM-5l RT product (before diluited 1:60) and 50 M-BM-5l 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 50M-BM-0C for 2 min and 95M-BM-0C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of 97M-BM-0C for 30s and 59,7M-BM-0C for 1 min. All reactions were run in triplicate. Analysis of data was performed using the SDS 2.3 software using the 2-M-bM-^HM-^FM-bM-^HM-^FCt (relative quantitative) method . The M-bM-^HM-^FCt of every miRNA was determined in relation to the endogenous control RNA U6 that was invariably expressed in all samples. The M-bM-^HM-^FM-bM-^HM-^FCt 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 M-bM-^@M-^\fold changeM-bM-^@M-^] over normal brain tissue. We analyzed two samples of grade I, two samples of grade II, two samples of grade IV gliomas. Four samples form norma brain were used as norma control. Primary cell cultures form grade II and grade IV samples were used for the analysis. All reverse transcriptase reactions, including no-template controls and RT controls, were run in triplicate.

Project description:Simple steatosis (SS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The difference in pathogenesis between SS and NASH is still not clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding short RNAs that regulate gene expression. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of miRNA expression profiles with SS and NASH in animal models and humans. Animal models DD Shionogi (DS), Fatty Liver Shionogi (FLS Wild; W), and FLS ob/ob mice were subjected as the normal control, SS model and NASH model, respectively. Male DS mice (Riken BRC No. 03706) were provided by Riken bio-resource center through the national bio-resource project of Japan. Male FLS W and male FLS-ob/ob mice were obtained from Shionogi research laboratories (Shiga, Japan). Animals were housed in a room maintained at a controlled temperature of 24 ± 2 Ë?C under a 12-h light-dark cycle. Animals were provided ad libitum access to water and standard pellet feed. Five male mice of every strain (24 weeks old; mean body weight of DS, FLS W and FLS-ob/ob were 31.1 ± 1.1g, 38.4 ± 3.4g and 56.0 ± 5.0g, respectively) were sacrificed under pentobarbital anesthesia by whole blood collection from the right ventricle. The livers were cut into about 200 mg pieces and fixed in 10% formalin for histological analysis or fresh-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C in a freezer until use. miRNA expression analysis Total RNAs in mouse liver were isolated using TrizolReagent (Life Technologies, California, USA) as described the manufacturerâ??s protocol. The quality of total RNA samples was checked by applying the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) which is calculated by a proprietary algorithm of the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer expert software (Agilent technologies, CA, USA). Only high quality RNA, with RNA integrity number (RIN) greater than 8 and A260/280 and A260/230 greater than 1.8, will be considered for microarray analysis. TaqMan® Array Rodent MicroRNA A Card v2.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) was used to assess 375 miRNA expression profiles in mouse liver tissue.
