Project description:Primary human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were treated with recombinant human TNFa (50ng/ml) for different time points (1, 3, 7, 14, 24 hours)
Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells are known to be recruited to the tumor and contribute to a pro-inflammatory environment. The aim of this experiment was to identify potential direct targets of hsa-miR-1246 in human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in the context of inflammation. For this purpose, miR-1246 mimic or miRIDIAN microRNA Mimic Negative Control #2 both purchased from GE Healthcare Dharmacon Inc. were transiently transfected with Lipofectamine® 2000 (Invitrogen AG) at a final concentration of 30nM into primary MSCs. Transfection time was 48h according to manufacturerâs protocol. Transfections were performed in biological triplicates each.
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goal of this study is to analyse the whole transcriptome of MSCs stimulated with TGFα in order to comprehensively assess the genes regulated by EGFR signalling Methods: Libraries of cDNA were obtained from poly(A)-RNA fractions from not-stimulated or TGFα-stimulated MSCs and sequenced with a SOLiD 5500xl platform. Whole-transcriptome reads were aligned to the version 19 of the human genome (hg19) with the SOLiD LifeScope Genomic Analysis Software version 2.5 (Life Technologies) using the parameters recommended in the user’s manual. The number of observed counts (number of reads/gene) was normalized for the length of the transcript and the number of mapped reads (RPKM) (Reads Per Kilobase per Million of mapped reads). DESeq tool in R package was used to obtain a statistical evaluation of differential gene expression. Results: 1,640 genes resulted highly differentially regulated: 967 genes up-regulated with Fold Induction (FI)≥1.50, and 673 genes down-regulated with FI≤0.50. When highly regulated genes were categorized into enriched categories according to GO molecular function classification and KEGG pathways analysis, a large number of genes coding for potentially secreted proteins or for surface receptors resulted enriched following TGFα treatment. In particular, significant up-regulation of VEGFA, IL6, EREG, HB-EGF, LIF, NGF, NRG1, CCL19, CCL2, CCL25 and CXCL3 was observed. Conclusions: Taken together these findings suggest that EGFR activation in MSCs leads to a significant change in the expression of a wide array of genes coding for secreted proteins that can significantly enhance tumor progression by acting on several mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment mRNA profiles of MSCs starved overnight in serum free medium and treated for 1 hour with recombinant at a concentration of 10 ng/ml by deep sequencing, in quadruplicate, using SOLiD 5500xl.
Project description:Recently, mesenchymal stem cells-derived microvesicles (MMVs) attract much attention as a strategy of cell-free treatment. In our study, we found that MMVs could improve the organ dysfunction during sepsis. To investigate the mechanism, we harvested MMVs from mesenchymal stem cells to perform proteomic analysis, and chondrocyte-derived microvesicles (CMVs) were used as a negative control, and PGC-1α overexpressed-MMVs were used as a positive control. A total of 5411 proteins were identified in this study, and differentially expressed (DE) proteins were further identified with a cut-off of absolute fold change >1.5 and a significance p-value <0.05. Compared with CMV group, 321 proteins were upregulated and 209 proteins were downregulated in MMVs. This study illustrated the differences between MMVs and CMVs, and provided a sight for investigating the protective effect of MMVs.
Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells provide an unlimited, scalable source of youthful tissue progenitors and secretome for regenerative therapies. The aim of our study was to assess the potential of conditioned medium (CM) derived from hiPSC-mesenchymal progenitors (hiPSC-MPs) to stimulate osteogenic differentiation of adult and aged human bone marrow-mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). In addition, we evaluated whether extended cultivation or osteogenic pre-differentiation of hiPSC-MPs could enhance the CM stimulatory activity.
Project description:Conventional treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have multiple potential side effects. Therefore, alternative treatments are desperately needed. In the present study, we proposed a new therapeutic tool for the treatment of IBD in murine pre-clinical models by using MSC-Exos. We demonstrated that the infused MSC-Exos are immunotolerated by the host, which is convenient for a future clinical application of MSC-Exos in IBD. To understand the molecular basis mediating the anticolitic benefit of MSC-Exos, we performed proteomic analysis using iTRAQ technology to detect the protein expression profiles in MSC-Exos and the corresponding supernatants from their parent cell MSCs. Proteomic analysis revealed that MSC-Exos were enriched in proteins involved in regulating multiple biological processes associated with the anti-colitic benefit of MSC-Exos. Particularly, metallothionein-2 in MSC-Exos was required for the suppression of inflammatory responses in macrophages. Taken together, MSC-Exos are critical regulators of inflammatory responses and may be promising candidates for IBD treatment.
Project description:The Tgf-b signaling pathway plays an important role in both embryonic development and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), but the influence of this pathway and its relationship with EMT in fibroblast reprogramming is not defined. Using Affymetrix mouse genome array and mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs), we analyzed the expression profiles of Tgf-b1 and one of its important mediators in EMT, Snail, regulated genes at Day 10 during the process of reprogramming. A total of 535 genes were differentially expressed (2-fold change) in cells activated by Tgf-b1 and 970 genes were differentially expressed in cells over-expressing Snail. Among them, 170 genes were shared in both categories. The differentially expressed genes involve in many biological processes, including Tgf-b signaling pathway, cell communication, ECM-receptor interaction, cell adhesion, focal adhersion, and Hedgehog signaling pathway MEFs derived from a OG2 mouse is a typical kind of fibroblast cells used in most reprogramming studies. Cells were cultured in MEF medium in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37oC before retrovirus infection and the medium was changed into ES medium after infection of the reprogramming cocktail (Sox2, Klf4, Oct4 and cMyc). At Day 10 after infection, cells were collected and total RNA were extracted from the cells and was hybridized on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.
Project description:ZNF145 is shown to be upregulated during three linage differentiation of MSCs especially in chondrogenesis. To understand the molecular basis of ZNF145 underlying MSCs, targets of ZNF145 in MSCs are determined by microarray We used microarrays to detail the change in gene expression profile upon overexpression of ZNF145 compared with control in undifferentiated MSCs Control MSCs and ZNF145-overexpressing MSCs are processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To that end, we overexpressed ZNF145 in two patient-derived human MSCs.
Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells were cultured in 3D PEG hydrogels for 7 days in the presence of serum-free media or conditioned media from a panel of breast cancer cells (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-231 lung-tropic, MDA-MB-231 brain-tropic, MDA-MB-231 bone-tropic). In all cases, the secretomes were collected after cancer cells were in serum-free media for 24h.
