Project description:To investigate the microRNA expression in human limbal-peripheral corneal (LPC) epithelia containing corneal epithelial progenitor cells (CEPCs) and early transit amplifying cells, we have employed Human microRNA Microarray V2 (Agilent) as a screening platform to identify specific microRNAs. We discovered a differential expression of 18 microRNAs against central corneal (CC) epithelia, which contains late transit amplifying cells and terminally differentiated cells. Among them, cluster miR-143/145 was expressed strongly in LPC but at low levels in CC epithelia and this was validated by real-time PCR and locked nucleic acid-based in situ hybridization. LPC and CC epithelia, separated by 1-mm in width, were dissected from human cornea for small RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted by Trizol/chloroform and purified with RNeasy mini spin column. RNA samples with 28S/18S ratios in the range of 1.4 to 1.8 were used for microRNA profiling using an Agilent Human microRNA Microarray V2 platform.
Project description:To investigate the gene expression in human corneal epithelial overexpressing hsa-miR-145 by transfection , we have employed Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray (Agilent) as a screening platform to identify gene regulation. We discovered a differential gene expression in HCE cells transfected with hsa-mIR-145 against cells with scrambled sequences. Among them, genes related with corneal development, integrity, differentiation and inflammatory responses were found and this was validated by real-time PCR. HCE cells transfected with hsa-miR-145 or scrambled sequences were collected at 24 hours after transfection. Total RNA was extracted by Trizol/chloroform and purified with RNeasy mini spin column. RNA samples with 28S/18S ratios in the range of 1.4 to 1.8 were used for expression RNA profiling using Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray (Agilent).
