Project description:To determine whether expression microRNAs (miRNAs) in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is altered in human non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), we first performed miRNA profiling of VAT from subjects with (n=15, macroscopic liver fat >30%) or without (<5%, non-NAFLD, n=15) NAFLD. VAT miRNA expression profiles in the two groups were similar except for a single miRNA, miR-192*, which was 1.9-fold increased in NAFLD. We next overexpressed miR-192* in cultured human adipocytes, measured its effect on the cellular triglyceride content, and characterized these adipocytes by transcriptomic profiling followed by pathway analysis, qPCR and quantification of select cellular proteins.
Project description:Here, we have focused on studying the link between metabolic changes driven by the differentiation into mature adipocytes of a human preadipocyte cell line (SGBS) and their regulation, through a combined experimental and computational approach. By collecting data on gene expression, PPARg, CEBPa, LXR and H3K4me3 genome-wide ChIP-seq profles and transcriptome-wide microRNA target identification for miR-27a, miR29a and miR-222, and using constraint-based modeling to estimate metabolic reaction activity, we obtained a comprehensive set of information highlighting how epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation impacts the metabolic network.

Project description:To investigate altered expression patterns of key miRNAs in end-stage ADPKD kidneys, a miRNA microarray analysis was performed using non-ADPKD and ADPKD kidney tissue samples. As a result, total 19 miRNAs were significantly changed in the ADPKD samples compared with non-ADPKD samples. Among these miRNAs, the expression level of the miR-192 family including miR-192 and miR-194 were significantly downregulated in ADPKD.

Illumina Solexa sequencing: Six samples in total. Two ChIP-seq samples were prepared using an antibody against H3K4me3 active TSS chromatin marker from human SGBS preadipocyte and day 10 differentiated SGBS adipocyte cells. From day 10 differentiated SGBS cells additional three samples were prepared using an antibody against PPARg, CEBPa and LXRa to determine their genome-wide binding. One input control sample is included.
Project description:Human SGBS preadipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes, and human iPSCs were differentiated into hypothalamic neurons. Cells were collected for ATAC-seq at several differentiation stages. The differentiations were performed in one biological replicate, with two technical replicates (different wells of the differentiation that were also processed individually during library preparation). SGBS Day0: Represents the preadipocyte state. SGBS Day2: Represents immature adipocytes. SGBS Day8: Represents early mature adipocytes. SGBS Day16: Represents mature adipocytes. Hypothalamic Day 12: Represents early hypothalamic neurons. Hypothalamic Day 16: Represents mid hypothalamic neurons. Hypothalamic Day 27: Represents mature hypothalamic neurons.

Project description:Mouse peritoneal macrophages were transfected with 80-120 nM miRIDIAN miRNA mimics (miR-mimic-33/miR-mimic-33*) or with 80-120 nM miRIDIAN miRNA inhibitors (anti-miR-33 ASO/anti-miR-33*ASO) Control samples were treated with an equal concentration of a non-targeting control mimics sequence (control mimic) or inhibitor negative control sequence (control aso), to control for non-specific effects in miRNA experiments.
Project description:The 22Rv1 and PC-3 cells were transduced with shMIMIC human lentiviral vectors (Horizon Discovery, Cambridge, UK) to stably overexpress miRNA-23c or -4328. The SMARTvector Non-Targeting Control (NTC) was expressed to serve as a negative control. The vectors contained a turbo green fluorescent protein (turboGFP) and a puromycin resistance gene cassette. After transduction, cells were cultured in a medium supplemented with 5 µg/mL puromycin (Takara Bio, Tokyo, Japan) for antibiotic selection. Overexpression was confirmed by monitoring the turboGFP by fluorescence microscopy and by RT-qPCR analysis of miRNA-23c and -4328 levels. Relative protein quantification was performed to compare protein expression in 22Rv1 and PC-3 single cell clones overexpressing miRNA-23c and -4328, compared to corresponding NTC cells. Single cell clones overexpressing either miRNA-23c (n = 3), -4328 (n = 3) or NTC (n = 3) were analyzed in triplicate.
Project description:Hypoxia in adipose tissue is suggested to be involved in the development of a chronic mild inflammation, which in obesity can further lead to insulin-resistance. The effect of hypoxia on gene expression in adipocytes seems to play a central role in this inflammatory response observed in obesity. However, the global impact of hypoxia on transcriptional changes in human adipocytes is unclear. Therefore, we compared gene expression profiles of human Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) adipocytes under normoxic or hypoxic conditions to detect hypoxia-responsive genes in adipocytes by using whole human genome microarrays. Human SGBS adipocytes were cultured in a hypoxic environment (1% O2) for 3, 6 and 16 hours and the control group was cultured under normoxic conditions (21% O2). Total RNA was prepared from control and treated SGBS cells, in triplicate experiments, and probes were hybridized on ‘Human Genome U133 2.0’ arrays (Affymetrix).
