Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (~22 nucleotide) noncoding RNAs that play pivotal roles in regulation of gene expression. The value of miRNAs as circulating biomarkers is now broadly recognized; such tissue-specific biomarkers can be used to monitor tissue injury and several pathophysiological conditions in organs. In addition, miRNA profiles of normal organs and tissues are important for obtaining a better understanding of the source of modulated miRNAs in blood and how those modulations reflect various physiological and toxicological conditions. This work was aimed at creating an miRNA atlas in rats, as part of a collaborative effort with the Toxicogenomics Informatics Project in Japan (TGP2). We analyzed genome-wide miRNA profiles of 55 different organs and tissues obtained from normal male rats using miRNA arrays. The work presented herein represents a comprehensive dataset derived from normal samples profiled in a single study. Here we present the whole dataset with miRNA profiles of multiple organs, as well as precise information on experimental procedures and organ-specific miRNAs identified in this dataset. miRNA expression in rat various organs was measured with or without saline perfusion. 3 animals were used.

Project description:The rat has been used extensively as a model system for biological studies. However, its microRNA (miRNA) transcriptome has not been well established. Here, we constructed a comprehensive rat miRNA BodyMap based on miRNA-seq of 320 samples from 11 organs of both sexes of juvenile, adolescent, adult, and aged Fischer 344 rats. We quantified the expression profiles of 993 rat miRNAs, including 268 novel miRNA candidates. A large number of miRNAs showed organ-specific, age-dependent, or sex-specific expression patterns. Particularly, brain exhibited the strongest organ-enriched expression patterns, and testis showed the most strikingly age-dependent expression patterns. Interestingly, the expression levels of two clusters of miRNAs were highly correlated with those of mRNAs and were highly age dependent. The miRNA dataset along with previously reported mRNA data from the same set of samples represents a unique resource to improve understanding of rat transcriptome and subsequently better utilize rats for biomarker discovery.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the expression profiles of circulating miRNAs in the serum of patients with high-risk oral lesions (HRLs; oral cancer or carcinoma in situ) and to explore their utility as potential oral cancer biomarkers. Global serum miRNA profiles were generated by quantitative PCR method from 1) patients diagnosed with HRLs and undergoing intent-to-cure surgical treatment (N = 30) and 2) a demographically-matched, normal control group (N = 26). We next honed our list of serum miRNAs associated with disease by reducing the effects of inter-patient variability; we compared serum miRNA profiles from samples taken both before and after tumor resections (N = 10). Based on these analyses, fifteen miRNAs were significantly up-regulated and five were significantly down-regulated based on presence of disease (minimum fold-change >2 in at least 50% of samples, p < 0.05, permutation t-test). Five of these miRNAs (miR-16, let-7b, miR-338-3p, miR-223, and miR-29a) yielded an area under the ROC curve (AUC) >0.8, suggesting utility as non-invasive biomarkers for detection of oral cancer or high grade lesions. qPCR miRNA expression profiling of serum samples. The sample size for control and HRL cases are indicated in the summary. The samples were not processed in replicate. Dataset 1: Samples from pre-surgery HRL patients (N = 30) and normal controls (N = 26). Dataset 2: Samples taken both before and after tumor resections (N = 10). Processed separately from Dataset 1.

Project description:Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and correlates with morbidity and mortality. In this study we profiled microRNAs (miRNA) in parathyroids from different experimental SHP models and uremic patients and studied the function of specific miRNA using antagonizing oligonucleotides (anti-miRs). miRNA profiles established by small RNA deep sequencing showed that human, rat and mouse parathyroids share the same most abundant miRNAs. Principal component analyses clearly segregated parathyroids from SHP rats from normal rats, based on their miRNA expression profiles. Similar findings were observed in hyperplastic parathyroids from CKD patients compared to normal parathyroids from patients without kidney disease. We identifed specific parathyroid miRNAs that were dysregulated in all experimental SHP models studied. let-7i was decreased and miR-141 and miR-148a were increased in the parathyroids of rats with prolonged CKD induced by an 8 w adenine high phosphorus diet. Down-regulation of let-7 by anti-miRs increased PTH secretion in normal and in CKD rats, as well as in parathyroid organ cultures. Anti-miR-148 prevented the increase in serum PTH in CKD rats and decreased secreted PTH in parathyroid organ cultures. Our findings characterized parathyroid miRNA profiles and demonstrated conservation of the abundant miRNAs in different species. The evolutionary conservation of abundant miRNAs and their regulation in SHP suggest that miRNAs are important for parathyroid function and the development of SHP. Down-regulation of let-7 and miR-148 affects PTH secretion in vivo and in vitro, suggesting a role for these miRNAs in SHP. We propose that let-7 restrains while miR-148 promotes PTH secretion. In CKD, the decrease in parathyroid let-7 and the increase in miR-148 miRNAs may contribute to the development of SHP.

Project description:Emerging evidence has revealed alterations of microRNA (miRNA) profiles in peripheral blood associated to changes in a range of physiological conditions, suggesting that circulating miRNA profiles could be used as prognostic and/or diagnostic biomarkers for a wide variety of clinical conditions. Normal human pregnancy poses an extensive number of physiological challenges, affecting virtually every level of the pregnant woman’s biology, as well as changing contributions of the placenta and fetus. In this cohort study, using longitudinal large-scale profiling of circulating miRNAs at four defined stages during and after normal pregnancy, relative to non-pregnant controls, we investigate temporal changes in miRNA profiles as potential biomarkers of pregnancy evolution. By comparing the profiling of blood plasma miRNAs with available expression data, we found that miRNAs most prominently expressed in key reproductive tissues are collectively down regulated throughout pregnancy. Furthermore, we find a bias in the proportion of differentially expressed miRNAs associated with fetal sex right from the first trimester. Lastly, by combining circulating miRNAs expression with fetal growth indicators derived from the same women, we identify a robust miRNA signature associated to fetal growth during normal pregnancy. Our results demonstrate the existence of temporal changes of specific miRNAs associated to distinct aspects of pregnancy, including correlates of placental function, fetal gender, and fetal growth, as well as an early lactation related signature; strongly suggesting the potential of peripheral miRNAs as biomarkers of normal pregnancy.

Project description:Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is typically defined by an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) after intravascular administration of contrast medium. Since creatinine is an unreliable indicator for acute changes in kidney function, an early biomarkers for CI-AKI diagnosis is important for initiating therapy.We assessed the hypothesis that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) could be served as potential biomarkers to early detect CI-AKI.The rat model of acute kidney injury was developed as we previously described. We first detect miRNA profile of plasma and kidney tissue using Agilent microarray platform. 3 miRNA species with > 1.5-fold increase in plasma samples of CI-AKI rats, including miRNA-30a, miRNA-30e and miRNA-188, were selected as candidate miRNAs of potential biomarkers. 24 rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (CI-AKI group and control group), each with 4 subgroups (n=3). Peripheral blood and kidney samples were harvest at 8h after contrast medium/normal saline administration. Total RNA sample from each rat in the same subgroup was combined together as pooled sample for further test. The Agilent microarray platform was adapted to profile the miRNA spectra.

Project description:Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) presented in venous plasma have recently been demonstrated as powerful biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of complex diseases like cancer. Nevertheless, those presented in arterial plasma have been ignored based on the assumption that the miRNA profiles in arterial and venous plasma would be identical. Here, we disputed this intuitive assumption by comparing arterial and venous plasma miRNA expression profiles from male rats using microarray technique. Though the microRNA profiles were largely similar, a considerable number of miRNAs showed significant differential expression, including 10 arterial highly expressed miRNAs and 14 venous highly expressed miRNAs. The differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by qRT-PCR. We performed computational analysis of the function enrichment and disease association of these miRNAs and their targets. Our analysis also suggested significant correlations between plasma miRNA expression and tissue miRNA expression. Four arterial highly expressed miRNAs showed enriched expression in specific tissues and thus could serve as novel biomarker candidates.

Project description:Background: miRNAs derived from peripheral venous blood gained extensive attention as clinical biomarkers, while arterial miRNAs exhibited slightly different expression profiles. We compared the expression profiles of venous- and arterial-derived plasma miRNA between young and aged male SD rats by next-generation sequencing, in order to explore whether peripheral venous miRNAs can represent entire circulating vessels in abnormal conditions like aging. Results: MSigDB Hallmark Gene Set reference and TAM 2.0 server were used to investigate the enriched functions and associated diseases. The aging-related de-regulated miRNAs in artery and vein shown similar enriched functional terms. Of note, refer to the arterial-versus-venous differential-expressed miRNA profiles, only a few miRNAs shared between young and aged rats. Among them, miR-450a/b and miR-223 shown the similar tendency between young and aged rat, while miR-136 and miR-503 etc displayed the opposite direction under the same scenario. Since miRNAs are under the control of their specific transcriptional factors, we further analyzed upstream regulators which influence miRNAs level for vascular vessel location. TransmiR v2.0 tool was used and found enriched upstream transcription factors like NFκB and SIRT1. These transcriptional factors could be organ-specific expression and/or regulated in physiological and aging states as parts of plausible causal factors. Conclusion: This study screened and analyzed the differential differential-expressed miRNA profiles in arterial and venous plasma under aging conditions, suggesting the importance of origin of candidate circulating miRNA biomarkers upon the certain scenario and its potential regulatory rule.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate transcription factors and relate to ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurrence, progression and outcome. Recently, circulating miRNAs from maternal blood and amniotic fluid have been used as biomarkers for congenital heart defect (CHD) diagnosis. However, whether circulating miRNAs are associated with foetal heart tissue remains unknown. Dimethadione (DMO) induced a VSD rat model and the miRNA expression profiles of the myocardium, amniotic fluid and maternal serum were analysed. MiRNAs were differentially expressed in the myocardium, amniotic fluid or maternal serum of VSD foetal rats and might be involved in cardiomyocyte differentiation and apoptosis.
