Project description:To compare total RNA levels in miR-124 and mock-transfected cells (Figure S3), 5-10 ug of total RNA from miR-124-transfected cells or mock-transfected cells or universal reference RNA (Stratagene Cat# 740000) was reverse transcribed with Superscript III (Invitrogen Cat# 18080085) in the presence of aminoallul-dUTP 5-(3-aminoallyl)-dUTP (Ambion Cat# AM8439) and natural dNTPs (GE Healthsciences Cat# US77212) with 10 ug of N9 primer (Invitrogen). Subsequently, amino-allyl-containing cDNAs from miR-124 and mock-transfected cells were covalently linked to Cy5 NHS-monoesters, and universal reference cDNA was covalently linked to Cy3 NHS-monoesters (GE HealthSciences Cat# RPN5661). Cy5- and Cy3-labeled cDNAs were mixed and diluted into 50 ul of solution containing 3x SSC, 25 mM Hepes-NaOH (pH 7.0), 20 ug human Cot-1 DNA (Invitrogen Cat# 15279011), 20 ug of poly(A) RNA (Sigma Cat# P9403), 25 ug of yeast tRNA (Invitrogen Cat# 15401029), and 0.3% SDS. The sample was incubated at 95 C for 2 min, spun at 14,000 rpm for 10 mins in a microcentrifuge, then hybridized at 65 C
Project description:HEK293T cells were either mock or miR-124 transfected. Cells were lysed 12 hours after transfection with Trizol reagent. RNA was isolated, amplified, labeled (cy5), and comparatively hybridized with a universal reference (cy3) on HEEBO arrays in biological triplicate. In addition, each biological replicate was measured twice (#2's). Data from the technical replicates was averaged before analysis. SS=steady state Compound Based Treatment: miR-124
Project description:We investigated functions of miRNAs at the level of the whole transcriptome of primary neurons. We transfected mouse E17.5 forebrain primary neuronal cultures (at four to six days of in vitro development) with miRNA mimics and inhibitors. After approximately 48 h post transfection we profiled the effect of these transfections on gene expression with Illumina mRNA microarrays. Cultures were transfected with mimics and inhibitors of five mouse miRNAs (mmu-miR-124, mmu-miR-434-3p, mmu-miR-143, mmu-miR-145 and mmu-miR-25) and with a mimic of a non-mouse miRNA (cel-miR-67). Direct widespread inhibition of gene expression by the perturbed miRNAs was evident when gene expression in cultures transfected with miRNA mimics was compared to those transfected with the inhibitors (or to matched mock transfected cultures): 3-prime UTRs of downregulated transcripts were significantly enriched in seed matching sites for the perturbed miRNAs. Interestingly, analysis of differential gene expression in mock transfected cells (identified through comparison of mock transfected cultures with matched untreated cultures) revealed that genes inhibited by miRNAs were enriched in genes upregulated in mock transfected cultures. This inhibition was the most efficient by the two neuronal miRNAs under investigation (mmu-miR-124 and mmu-miR-434-3p). To investigate if miRNA mediated inhibition of stress induced genes (i.e. stress associated with transfections) was also the case in other stresses, we profiled gene expression changes triggered by chronic neuronal depolarisation. For this, we treated the cultures with KCl (15 mM, 48 h) and compared them to matched untreated cultures. We found that genes upregulated by KCl had a significant intersection with those upregulated by the mock transfection. Moreover, we also found that genes upregulated by KCl had a significant intersection with genes inhibited by mmu-miR-124 and mmu-miR-434-3p. Therefore we concluded that neuronal miRNAs stabilise the neuronal transcriptome by inhibiting stress inducible genes.
Project description:As a core RISC component, Ago2 associates with miRNAs and target mRNAs. To identify these mRNAs, we ran lysate from HEK293T cells over a FLAG resin from 2 conditions: +FLAG-Ago2, +mock transfection. To identify mRNAs associated with specific miRNAs, we ran lysate from HEK293T cells over a FLAG resin from 2 conditions: +FLAG-Ago2 & miR-1, and +FLAG-Ago2 & miR-124.

Project description:The expression of different RNAs in miR-124/miR-132 transfected HEK293T cells were compared to mock treated samples in order to describe fold change of transcripts assigned as miRNA targets by different tools or experiments.
