Project description:To invesigate the physiological roles of mir-122 in hepatocarcinogenesis, we performed expression profiling of the liver tumors of mir-122 knockout mice and the liver tissues of the control B6/129 mice. Total RNA was extracted from three tumors of mir-122 knockout mice and liver tissues of two control mice of 11 months of age; five tumors of mir-122 knockout mice and the liver tissues of three control mice of 14 months of age. Gene expression was quantified by robust multi-array analysis (RMA) using the Genomic Suite software from Partek.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of HCCs developed in miR-122 knockout mice compared to age-matched wild type mice. The significance of our study is that miR-122 knockout mice spontaneously develop liver tumors and the gene expression profile demonstrated dysregulation of several pathways involved in liver disease and HCC.

Two-condition experiment, liver tumor vs. normal liver. 8 biological replicates.
Project description:Liver transcriptome profiling of liver specific miR-122 knockout (miR-122loxP/loxP Alb-Cre) and control (miR-122loxP/loxP) male mice. Expression profile of several hundred mRNAs that include miR-122 targets were altered in miR-122 KO livers. Loss of miR-122 in the germ line resulted in significant changes in hepatic gene expression profile. Among the upregulated genes many are direct targets of miR-122 GSM517838-GSM517847: Liver transcriptome profiling of liver specific miR-122 knockout and control male mice. Total liver RNA from 8 week old five control and five liver-specific miR-122 knock out male mice (C57/BL6J background) GSM791601-GSM791604: Liver transcriptome profiling of germ-line miR-122 knockout and control male mice. Liver RNA from 5 week old control (floxed) and miR-122KO mice were analyzed by mouse whole transcriptome profiling.
Project description:To invesigate the physiology roles of mir-122 in liver, we performed expression profiling of mir-122 knockout mice and the control B6/129 mice. Total RNA was extracted from four mir-122 knockout mice and three control mice of 2 months of age. Gene expression was quantified by robust multi-array analysis (RMA) using the Genomic Suite software from Partek.

Project description:Adeno-associated viral (AAV) small hairpin (shRNA) expression vectors are a promising therapeutic but can induce severe liver toxicity when delivered at high albeit undefined doses. Using various AAV-shRNA vectors under the high-expressing U6 and low-expressing H1 promoters, we found that dose-limiting toxicity was strongly correlated with an shRNA concentration of >12% of total microRNA levels. Toxicity was associated with a specific reduction in the first synthesized 22nt isoform of miR-122-5p, resulting in the specific de-repression of miR-122 target mRNAs. A causative link between miR-122 reduction and toxicity was established when an AAV-sh-miR-122 vector producing >20% of the total liver miRNAs prevented liver toxicity. Consistent with these results, miR-122 knockout mice, which in part adapt to an absence of miR-122 reduction, also show no toxicity with high dose AAV-shRNA delivery. RNA sequencing of 12 liver samples, 2 receiving H1-shRNAs, 7 with U6-shRNAs and 3 controls; small RNA sequencing of 95 samples including 18 with CMV-driven miR-122 expression in HEK293 cells, 13 in miR-122 knockout mice, 9 samples in mice heterozygous for miR-122, 5 samples with Cre-mediate excision of miR-122, 19 samples immunoprecipitated with Ago2 and 31 additional liver samples (3 control, 11 receiving H1-shRNAs and 17 receiving U6-shRNAs). Small RNA libraries were barcoded (first 4 nucleotides) at the 5' end and ligated to linker-1 (5'-CTGTAGGCACCATCAAT) at the 3' end.
