Project description:To investigate changes in serum extracellular vesicle miRNAs during adipose tissue regeneration, we created tamoxifen-inducible adipocyte-specific insulin receptor knockout (iFIRKO) mice. We then performed comprehensive miRNA analysis on the serum extracellular vesicles of iFIRKO and control mice.
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the serum extracellular vesicle (EV) delivered miRNA levels of patients with bone-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), non-bone -metastatic PCa and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and to identify EV-delivered microRNAs in patient’s serum as indicators for bone-metastatic PCa. Methods:Serum extracellular vesicle delivered miRNA profiles of patients with bone-metastatic PCa or non-bone -metastatic PCa or BPH were generated by miRNA chip array, using Agilent-070156 Human_miRNA_V21.0_Microarray plateform. Results: Differential analysis showed the expressions of 27 EV delivered miRNAs were significantly different between serum of patients with bone-metastatic PCa and non-bone-metastatic PCa with a p value <0.05. the expressions of 5 EV delivered miRNAs were confirmed with qRT–PCR. Conclusions: Serum EV-delivered miR-181a-5p is a promising diagnostic biomarker for bone-metastatic PCa.

Methods:Serum extracellular vesicle delivered miRNA profiles of patients with bone-metastatic PCa or non-bone -metastatic PCa or BPH were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeqTM 2500 platform Results: Using an optimized data analysis method, we mapped about 17 million sequence reads per sample. Differential analysis showed the expressions of 35 EV delivered miRNAs were significantly different between serum of patients with PCa and BPH, with a p value <0.05. the expressions of 5 EV delivered miRNAs were confirmed with qRT–PCR. Conclusions: Serum EV-delivered miR-181a-5p is a promising diagnostic biomarker for bone-metastatic PCa.
Project description:To investigate the inside and exported miRNA in cell culture system. We characterized the miRNA spectra of cell lines when deprived of serum. The absence of miRNAs present in bovine serum is a distinct advantage of using serum depletion to study extracellular miRNA as it removes potential source of interference.
Project description:Intracellular and extracellular vesicle-contained microRNAs were profiled by next-generation sequencing from prostate cancer patient cells, tissues and serum.
Project description:5' tRNA halves are abundantly present in small RNA libraries prepared from serum samples, thereby limiting the detection of other small RNA species. In this study, we developed and compared two protocols for the selective depletion of 5' tRNA halves in RNA isolated from murine serum samples. To evaluate the efficacy of both protocols on small RNA sequencing, we performed the two 5' tRNA halves depletion protocols on total RNA isolated from a serum pool collected from healthy mice. Each RNA sample was divided into three and the resulting fractions were either depleted using beads or RNase H, or used as a control. The experiment was performed in triplicate. Upon depletion, libraries were prepared using TruSeq Small RNA Library Preparation kit. For both protocols, very high depletion efficiencies were observed, with more than 99% of the targeted tRNA-types being depleted. This resulted in a more than 6-fold increase in mapped miRNA reads and 60% more detected mature miRNAs when performing small RNA sequencing on murine serum samples. Importantly, we observed no considerable effects on the relative expression values of miRNAs.
Project description:To gain insight into the microRNA expression profile of small extracellular vesicle derived from different cell types and to verify their mechanism, we utilized the miRNA sequencing technology to analyze the miRNA profiles of different human cell derived small extracellular vesicle
