MiRNA expression profiles from E18th rat embryonic striatal stem cells under conditioned environments

ABSTRACT: Background: Striatum is the crucial unit in brain involved in higher-level organizational learning, motor control and cognitive finctions. It also produces dopaminergic neurons, which play an important role in the control of multiple brain functions including voluntary movement and a span of neurobehavioral processes such as, mood, reward, addiction, and stress. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) lead to striatum related persistent cognitive dysfunctions. A number of cell based therapies such as; induced pluripotent stem cells (ips), neural stem cells (NSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have been investigated so far for their potential application in TBI. But the journey from bench-to-bedside has not yet been covered sucessfully. As their survival and long-term maintenance in vivo has been huddle so far. So to understand the fate of embryonic striatal stem cells (ESSCs) in long-term neurogenesis in vitro, we have studied the neurogenic potential of rat embryonic striatal stem cells from E18th day embryos under conditioned microenvironments. Objectives: To evaluate the neuro-regenerative potential striatum-derived stem cells, we have employed synergestic effects of certain neurotrophins, such as ; EGF, IGF, FGF and LIF as in four combinations (Control/untreated-A, EGF+FGF-B, EGF+FGF+LIF-C, EGF+FGF+IGF-D and EGF+FGF+ IGF +LIF –E) in the microenvironment . To decipher the regulatory miRNAs involved in ESSC-derived neurogenesis, we have performed detailed miRNA profiling for ESSCs at passage 3 for groupD and group E derived ESSCs (based on their performance in vitro). Out data has explored cruicial mIRNAs involved in strital neurogenesis .

Project description:Background: Studies suggested that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have intrinsic neurogenic potential and can be differentiated into neural stem cell/ neural progenitor cells (NPCs) under specific microenvironment. Manipulation of growth factors is one of the popular method to achieve trans-lineage differentiation of MSCs. Synergistic effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (bFGF) have been widely identified as basic requirement for neural differentiation to take place. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) also known as somatomedin C is an important growth promoting protein during embryonic development which control numerous cellular responses and biological systems. Our recent study has found that the combination of EGF, bFGF and IGF-1 could significantly improved the growth and survivability of MSCs-derived NPCs. Therefore, to understand the genomic mechanism underlying the differentiation in vitro, we have studied the miRNAs profile of MSCs-derived NPCs under IGF-1 influenced conditioned microenvironments. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of IGF-1 in trans-lineage differentiation of MSCs, we have induced MSCs into neural lineage in 3 groups; Group A (positive control) - EGF+bFGF, Group B (Treatment) - EGF+bFGF+IGF-1, and Group C (negative control/ untreated). To unravel the role of regulatory miRNAs involved in the early differentiation, we have performed detailed miRNA profiling for MSCs-derived NPCs at three time intervals (day 1, day 3 and day 5). The data has explored crucial miRNAs involved in early differentiation of MSCs into NPCs. Stage specific MSCs-derived NPCs at Passage 1 were collected for total RNA extraction at three time-points (D1, D3 and D5) and hybridization on Affymetrix miRNA geneChip 2.0 arrays. Each experiment were repeated three times independently (Exp 1, Exp 2 and Exp 3). Group A served as positive control (EGF+bFGF), Group B as treatment (EGF+bFGF+IGF-1) and Group C without growth factor as negative control.
