Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that usually suppress the translation of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) through partial complementarity to the 3¡¦ untranslated region (3¡¦ UTR) of protein-coding mRNAs in animals. However, there is increasing evidence that miRNAs can also reduce the steady-state levels of their target mRNAs in animals. In this investigation, both miRNA and mRNA profiles from the undifferentiated human embryonic stem cell line hES-T3 (T3ES), hES-T3 derived embryoid bodies (T3EB) and hES-T3 differentiated fibroblast-like cells (T3DF) were quantitatively determined. Three common target genes of three highly expressed hES cell-specific miRNAs were identified by inverse expression levels of miRNAs to their target mRNAs. Experiment Overall Design: Three types of human embryonic stem cells and their derived cells (the undifferentiated human embryonic stem cell line hES-T3 (T3ES), hES-T3 derived embryoid bodies (T3EB) and hES-T3 differentiated fibroblast-like cells (T3DF)) were selected for RNA extraction. The genome-wide mRNA expression of T3ES, T3EB and T3DF cells was determined using Affymetrix human genome U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip. The abundantly expressed genes (10-fold above overall mean) in T3ES, T3EB and T3DF cells are selected to compare with the predicted gene targets of differentially expressed miRNAs in the same set of cells.
Project description:Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet beta cell disease, and it is important to find new alternative source of the islet beta cells to replace the damaged cells. Human embryonic stem (hES) cells possess unlimited self-renewal and pluripotency and thus have the potential to provide an unlimited supply of different cell types for tissue replacement. The hES-T3 cells with normal female karyotype were first differentiated into embryoid bodies and then induced to generate the pancreatic islet-like cell clusters, which expressed pancreatic islet cell-specific markers of insulin, glucagon and somatostatin. The expression profiles of microRNAs and mRNAs from the pancreatic islet-like cell clusters were further analyzed and compared with those of undifferentiated hES-T3 cells and differentiated embryoid bodies. MicroRNAs negatively regulate the expression of protein-coding mRNAs. The pancreatic islet-like cell clusters were found to exhibit very high expression of microRNAs miR-186, miR-199a and miR-339, which down-regulated the expression of LIN28, PRDM1, CALB1, GCNT2, RBM47, PLEKHH1, RBPMS2 and PAK6. Therefore, these microRNAs are very likely to play important regulatory roles in the differentiation of pancreatic islet cells and early embryonic development. In this investigation, both miRNA and mRNA expression profiles from the pancreatic islet-like cell clusters differentiated from hES-T3 cells (T3pi) were quantitatively determined and compared with those of undifferentiated hES-T3 cells grown on mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder (T3ES) and embryoid bodies differentiated from hES-T3 cells (T3EB). Several target genes of pancreatic islet cell-specific miRNAs were identified. ***This submission represents the mRNA expression component of the study only***

Project description:Comparison of whole genome gene expression profiles of human testis derived ES-like cells with pluripotent stem cells (human embryonic stem cell lines), adult human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells and human dermal fibroblasts. Microarray study with total RNA of three testis derived ES-like cells clusters of one indivual (1) cultured in three different culture conditions A, B,C and embryoid bodies (EB) derived from them at 4, 7, 10, 14 and 18 days of suspension culture. Biological duplicates of human ES cell lines (HUES-1, GFP-hES-3),human bone marrow derived MSC (BMMSC1 and 2) and human dermal fibroblasts (DFB1 and 2) (LONZA CC-2511) at different passages were used as comparison groups.
Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells, when grown in suspension culture without feeders, spontaneously form round structures known as embryoid bodies. Given the appropriate conditions, these cells can differentiate over time into precursors of all three germ layers. Embryoid bodies, in a disorganized way, mimic early embryonic development to a certain extent and can be used as a synchronously differentiating large scale source of tissue for the study of biological determinants of early differentiation. Embryoid bodies have been used as a source for most early protocols that derive specific differentiated cell types from undifferentiated ES cells, although some protocols, notably those that derive neurons from ES cells, have moved on from EBs as a result of varying replicability and yield. We have decided to look at the transcriptomic profiles of embryoid bodies during the initial stages of embryoid body formation and differentiation, in order to pinpoint novel determinants of key developmental stages.
