MiRNAs in adipose tissue derived exosomes (Exo-AT) and adipose stem cells derived exosomes (Exo-ADSCs)

ABSTRACT: The emerging evidences support that exosome cargo miRNAs function as important regulators in cell differentiation. Therefore, in order to figure out the mechanism that Exo-AT mediated adipogenesis, we profiled miRNAs in Exo-AT using high-throughput sequencing (miRNA-seq). After trimming low-quality reads, contaminants, adaptors, and reads smaller than 15 nt, the remaining reads were mapped to merged pre-miRNA data bases. To identify the conserved miRNAs in Exo exosomes, miRNAs were aligned to miRBase v21. 148 and 154 types of known miRNAs in Exo-ADSCs and Exo-AT, respectively, were identified in the two replicates. Among these miRNAs, 103 miRNAs were simultaneously detected in both Exo-ADSCs and Exo-AT. Compared to Exo-ADSCs, 45 conserved miRNAs were enriched (expressed ≥ 2 folds, FDR<0.05) in Exo-AT. KEGG Pathway analysis was performed for the targets of the most 20 enriched miRNAs in Exo-AT (compared with Exo-ADSCs) to determine their potential function. Data showed that pathways that regulate adipogenesis such as Wnt signaling pathway, Insulin signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, TGF-ß signaling pathway were enriched significantly for targets of Exo-AT miRNAs. Furthermore, 14 of 45 enriched miRNAs in Exo-AT (31.11%, such as miR-30a-5p, miR-148a-3p) were reported to participate in regulation of adipogenesis while 8 miRNAs (17.78%, such as miR-93-5p, miR-150-3p) that negatively control osteoblastic differentiation of MSC have been described.

Project description:Adipogenesis occurs through a specific gene program in undifferentiated fat progenitors. We hypothesized that the properties of the fat progenitors are regulated by hox genes, the developmental genes essential in different tissue stem cells. Their biased expression in white and brown fat implies roles in distinguishing the two fat types. Among 39 Hox genes, Hoxc8 is highly enriched in undifferentiated adipose tissue stem cells (ADSCs) and down-regulated in differentiated adipocytes. Forced expression of Hoxc8 suppressed adipocyte differentiation of ADSCs. Using microarrays, we investigated the effect of Hoxc8 overexpression on global transcripts in ADSCs. We compared among four groups: untreated ADSCs, adipogenic induction media (MDI)-treated ADSCs, MDI-treated ADSC-vector and MDI-treated ADSC-Hoxc8. A number of, but not all, adipogenesis-related genes are suppressed by Hoxc8. This dataset illustrates the global effect of Hoxc8, a developmental transcription factor, on the expression of adipogenesis-related genes. Gene expression was compared among untreated ADSCs (control), adipogenic induction media-treated ADSCs, adipogenic induction media-treated ADSC-vector (ADSCs transduced with control vector), and adipogenic induction media-treated ADSC-Hoxc8 (ADSCs transduced with human Hoxc8). Total RNA was isolated from ADSCs using the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Qiagen). At NimbleGen, quality and yield were verified before cDNA synthesis and Cy3-end labeling. The labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to Homo sapiens 4-Plex arrays (Roche NimbleGen, A4487001-00-01) that represent 24,000 human genes. Raw data files for each sample were normalized and background-corrected using a Robust Multi-Array Analysis as implemented by NimbleScan software. Students’ two-tail t-tests were conducted among the samples for each transcript and fold-change was determined. Transcripts whose abundance was significantly altered (P < 0.05) and an absolute fold change greater than 2 were defined as differentially regulated.
