Project description:Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. The roles of microRNAs (minRNAs) in mRNA destabilization and translational repression of this disease are well appreciated, their involvement in endonucleolytic cleavage of target mRNAs is poorly understood. Methods: High throughput small RNA sequencing was employed for the identification and profiling of miRNAs by six pairs of colorectal cancer tissues (CT) and their adjacent tissues (CN). GO (gene ontology) biological process analysis and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis was carried out to understand the role of regulated miRNAs in CRC. Results: Using high-throughput sequencing, we identified 1409 miRNAs in the CT and CN libraries, including 81 novel miRNAs. 420 conserved and eight novel differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified by comparing the expression levels of CT libraries with CN libraries. Conclusions: Our findings may lead to a better understanding of the novel role of miRNA in the gene regulation of CRC.

Project description:Five degradome libraries were constructed from three different seed developmental stages. Separate degradome libraries were constructed for seed coat and cotyledons to identify the tissue specific miRNAs and their potential targets. Sequencing and analysis of degradome libraries gives identification of 183 different targets for 80 known soybean miRNAs. We found 30 cotyledon specific, 18 seed coat specific and 32 miRNAs found in both tissues irrespective of the developmental stages. One interesting observation is that we found more miRNA targets in late seed developmental stages than earlier stages. Additionally, we have validated four different auxin response factor genes as targets for gma-miR160 via RNA ligase mediated 5? rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RLM-5?RACE). GO analysis indicated the enrichment of miRNA target genes in seed development. Construction of degradome libraries using cotyledons and seed coats from 3 different developmental stages

Project description:Objective To establish whether whole-blood MicroRNA (miRNA) profiles differ between postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) sufferers and control subjects, and to identify the miRNA that regulate plasma H2S. Study design: High-throughput sequencing was used to obtain whole-blood miRNA expression profiles for five POTS sufferers and five normal children. miRNAs with an adjusted P-value of <0.05 (by DESeq) and with a log2 fold change ≥3 were considered to be differentially expressed (DEmiRNAs). The target genes of the DEmiRNAs were identified using RNAhybrid and miRanda, and only those identified by both were considered. The combined effects of the DEmiRNAs were determined using KEGG pathway analysis. Another 40 POTS and 20 normal patients were used as validation subjects. Plasma H2S was determined with a sulfide electrode, and flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was performed with a color Doppler ultrasound system. miRNAs were analyzed using QRT-PCR. Results: Thirteen DEmiRNAs were identified. When P values of 0.01 and 0.05 were used, 198 and 481 genes, respectively, were shown to be targeted by the 13 DEmiRNAs. DEmiRNAs were significantly enriched in 36 pathways (P <.05), in which PI3K/Akt signaling was closely related to vascular function. In the validation subjects, the plasma H2S and FMD was higher in the POTS sufferers, as was the expression level of whole-blood miR-21 (P <.05), which identified POTS patients with a sensitivity of 92.5% and a specificity of 100%. Conclusion: Elevated whole-blood miR-21 levels serve as an indicator for POTS and may explain the increased plasma H2S observed in POTS sufferers.

Project description:In mammals, small RNAs are important players in post-transcriptional gene regulation. While their roles in mRNA destabilization and translational repression are well appreciated, their involvement in endonucleolytic cleavage of target RNAs is poorly understood. Very few microRNAs are known to guide RNA cleavage. Endogenous small interfering RNAs are expected to induce target cleavage, but their target genes remain largely unknown. We report a systematic study of small RNA-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage in mouse through integrative analysis of small RNA and degradome sequencing data without imposing any bias towards known small RNAs. Hundreds of small cleavage-inducing RNAs and their cognate target genes were identified, significantly expanding the repertoire of known small RNA-guided cleavage events. Strikingly, both small RNAs and their target sites demonstrated significant overlap with retrotransposons, providing evidence for the long-standing speculation that retrotransposable elements in mRNAs are leveraged as signals for gene targeting. Furthermore, our analysis showed that the RNA cleavage pathway is also present in human cells but affecting a different repertoire of retrotransposons. These results show that small RNA-guided cleavage is more widespread than previously appreciated. Their impact on retrotransposons in non-coding regions shed light on important aspects of mammalian gene regulation. Degradome sequencing libraries were generated for cerebellum 6 months post-natal, testis 6 months post-natal, and H1 human embryonic stem cells.

Project description:To identify tomato miRNAs involved in chilling response, two small RNA libraries and two degradome libraries from chilling-treated(4M-BM-0C/4M-BM-0C for 1hM-oM-<M-^L4h, 8h, 12h, 24h and 48h) and non-chilling-treated (25M-BM-0C/20M-BM-0C for 1hM-oM-<M-^L4h, 8h, 12h, 24h and 48h)leaves of LA1777M-bM-^@M-^Y (S. habrochaites) seedlings were constructed. A total of 4342604 and 7231609 clean reads were obtained by high-throughput sequencing of the two libraries, respectively. 161 conserved miRNAs and 236 novel miRNAs were identified in the two librayies. Of these miRNAs, 192 were upregulated, whereas 205 were downregulated in response to chilling stress. Among these, 23 miRNAs and 26 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and downregulated in response to chilling stress, respectively.Through degradome sequencing,62 target genes were cleaved by 42 conserved miRNAs, while nine target genes were cleaved by nine novel miRNAs. Target gene functional analysis revealed that most target genes played positive role in the chilling response, primarily by regulating the expression of anti-stress proteins, antioxidant enzymes and genes involved in cell wall formation. tomato miRNA-seq and Degradome-seq after chilling

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism responsible for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) progression. We analyzed microRNAs (miRNAs) expression profiling in aqueous humor (AH) of both POAG patients and normal controls, using a microarray-based approach. Subsequently, differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified using Bayes moderated t-test. Next, DEmiRNAs target genes were predicted based on miRNA databases, followed by GO analysis and pathway analysis using DAVID. Furthermore, OAG-related genes analysis for target genes was carried out using CTD database, respectively. Finally, verification of DEmiRNAs expression levels was performed by RT-qPCR. A total of 40 significant DEmiRNAs were identified between control and POAG groups, including 24 up-regulated miRNAs and 16 down-regulated miRNAs. Further, the target genes of hsa-miR-206, including BMP2, SMAD4, ID2, and TNF, were mainly enriched in transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway. While, target genes of hsa-miR-184, hsa-miR-34c-5p, hsa-miR-7-2-3p and hsa-miR-20b-3p, including BCL2, EPHB2, VEGFA, COL4A1, APC, and TGFBR1, were enriched in eye development. Moreover, FNDC3B, CAV2 and VEGF, target genes of hsa-miR-206 or hsa-miR-34c-5p, were the OAG-related genes. Ultimately, RT-qPCR analysis confirmed that mRNA levels of hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-7-2-3p, and hsa-miR-20b-3p were increased, while those of hsa-miR-184 and hsa-miR-34c-5p were decreased in POAG compared with normal groups (P < 0.05). Hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-184, hsa-miR-34c-5p, hsa-miR-7-2-3p and hsa-miR-20b-3p might play a significant role in the pathogenesis of POAG and hsa-miR-206 might be associated with the development of POAG by regulating TGF-β signaling pathway. These results might provide insight toward a better understanding of the pathogenesis of POAG.

Project description:Purpose: Given implantation failure limited the improvement of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rate, it was urgent to identify potential biomarkers for embryo quality and predicting the outcomes of IVF-ET. Methods: The expression profiles of 16 spent culture media (SCM) collected from embryos at the cleavage on Day 3 (D3 cleavage) and blastocyst stages on Day 5 (D5 blastocyst) during IVF cycles were determined with RNA-sequencing. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified with p-value < 0.05 and |log2FC|> 1. Then, the miRNA-mRNA interaction networks were constructed by using Cytoscape software. Finally, the GO and KEGG pathway analysis of target genes of DEmiRNAs were conducted. Results: Compared with pregnant groups, 29 DEmiRNA were detected in non-pregnant groups at D3 cleavage, and 26 DEmiRNA were detected in non-pregnant group at D5 blastocyst. Among them, a total of six known miRNAs, including hsa-miR-199a-3p>hsa-miR-199b-3p, hsa-miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR-379-5p, hsa-miR-432-5p, hsa-miR-99a-5p and hsa-miR-483-5p, were identified. The results of GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that these target genes of DEmiRNAs were associated with various biological processes. Conclusion: In conclusion, we identified three miRNAs, including hsa-miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR-483-5p and hsa-miR-432-5p, may serve as biomarkers for embryo quality during IVF cycles.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding ~21 nucleotide (nt) RNAs that regulate gene expression at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in plants and animals. They play an important role in development, abiotic stress responses or pathogen responses. miRNAs with their related target genes have been widely studied in model plants?and increasing studies have been performed on some crops?however, the number of identified miRNAs in cotton was limited, and global identification of related targets through degradome sequencing has not been developed previously. In this study, we globally identified small RNAs and their related target genes during cotton somatic embryogenesis by the high throughput small RNA and degradome sequencing technology using fresh hypocotyls and EC (embryogenic calli) of Gossypium hirsutum YZ1. A total of 36 differentially expressed conserved miRNA families of which 19 miRNA families represented by 29 precursors and 25 novel miRNAs were identified, with star sequences of 20 known miRNAs and 2 novel miRNAs discovered. 234 genes in EC and 322 genes in CK were identified as targets of 23 and 30 known miRNA families, and 16 genes were found as targets of 8 novel miRNAs. The expression profiles of several miRNAs and their targets were verified by qRT-PCR and 5’RACE were further used to validate the sliced sites of the targets. Interestingly, four TAS3 D6 and D7 were also found in both degradome libaries which can perfectly match their precursors. The profiling of the miRNAs and their target genes provides more information about the regulatory network of miRNAs during somatic embryogenesis in cotton. small RNA and degradome sequencing of CK(fresh hypocotyls) and EC (embryogenic calli) of Gossypium hirsutum YZ1

Project description:The main cause of death in medulloblastoma is recurrence associated with leptomeningeal dissemination. Although the molecular basis of medulloblastoma has received considerable attention over the past decade, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the acquisition of metastatic phenotype remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify miRNA involved in leptomeningeal dissemination and to elucidate its target mechanisms. We analyzed miRNA expression profiles of 29 medulloblastomas according to the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding. The differential expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were validated on 29 medulloblastoma tissues and three medulloblastoma cells. The biological function of the selected miRNA was evaluated using in vitro studies. A total of 12 DEmiRNAs were identified including miRNA-192 in medulloblastoma with seeding. The reduced expression of miRNA-192 was confirmed in tumor seeding group and the medulloblastoma cells. Overexpression of miRNA-192 inhibited cellular proliferation targeting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). MiRNA-192 decreased cellular anchoring via repression of integrin subunits (αV, β1, and β3) and CD47. Medulloblastoma with seeding showed specific DEmiRNAs compared with those without seeding. MicroRNA-192 suppresses leptomeningeal dissemination of medulloblastoma through modulating cell proliferation and anchoring ability. leptomeningeal dissemination in 29 pediatric medulloblastoma patients
