Project description:The miRNA expression profiles of of EBV-infected YT and NK92 cells are compared. YT cells have weaker expression of T-bet and IFNg than NK92 cells. It was found that the EBV-encoded miR-BART20-5p inhibits the expression of T-bet and IFNg in YT cells.
Project description:The miRNA expression profiles of of EBV-infected YT and NK92 cells are compared. YT cells have weaker expression of T-bet and IFNg than NK92 cells. It was found that the EBV-encoded miR-BART20-5p inhibits the expression of T-bet and IFNg in YT cells. Approximately 100 ng total RNAs from YT and NK92 cells were used as the input. The GeneChip miRNA 2.0 array from Affymetrix, including probes for 44 EBV-encoded miRNAs and 1105 human miRNAs, was used. The experiments were performed in the microarray core laboratory of National Health Research Institute, Taiwan.
Project description:YT and NK92 cells are EBV-infected lymphoma cells of NK- cell origin. YT cells have weaker expression of T-bet and IFNg than NK92 cells. However, this data set shows that both cell lines have similar mRNA levels, implying post-transcriptional regulations.

However, this data set shows that both cell lines have similar mRNA levels, implying post-transcriptional regulations. Affymetrix chips (Human Genome U133 plus 2.0) were used for a genome-wide screen of transcriptional profiles on YT and NK cells. Hybridization and washing of the arrays were done according to the GeneChip® Expression Analysis Technical Manual from Affymetrix. The arrays were scanned with GenePix 4000B (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA.), and the data were extracted with Affymetrix Microarray suite (MAS) software.
Project description:We have sequenced miRNA libraries from human embryonic, neural and foetal mesenchymal stem cells. We report that the majority of miRNA genes encode mature isomers that vary in size by one or more bases at the 3’ and/or 5’ end of the miRNA. Northern blotting for individual miRNAs showed that the proportions of isomiRs expressed by a single miRNA gene often differ between cell and tissue types. IsomiRs were readily co-immunoprecipitated with Argonaute proteins in vivo and were active in luciferase assays, indicating that they are functional. Bioinformatics analysis predicts substantial differences in targeting between miRNAs with minor 5’ differences and in support of this we report that a 5’ isomiR-9-1 gained the ability to inhibit the expression of DNMT3B and NCAM2 but lost the ability to inhibit CDH1 in vitro. This result was confirmed by the use of isomiR-specific sponges. Our analysis of the miRGator database indicates that a small percentage of human miRNA genes express isomiRs as the dominant transcript in certain cell types and analysis of miRBase shows that 5’ isomiRs have replaced canonical miRNAs many times during evolution. This strongly indicates that isomiRs are of functional importance and have contributed to the evolution of miRNA genes
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
