ABSTRACT: mRNA microarray analyses of A549, PC14, and PC14CDDP cells that were transiently transfected with either pre-miR-197 or LNA-miR-197 and their controls.
Project description:In general, microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by repressing translation or promoting the degradation of their target genes. To strategically identify direct microR-197 (miR-197) target genes, we first performed mRNA microarray analyses of A549, PC14, and PC14CDDP cells that were transiently transfected with either pre-miR-197 or LNA-miR-197 and their controls. We observed that 1037 predicted target genes exhibited expression alterations consistently across the three different lung cancer cell lines.
Project description:MicroRNAs are noncoding RNA species comprising 18–23 nucleotides that regulate host-virus interaction networks. Here, we showed that enterovirus A71 infection in human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) involved miR-197 expression. miR-197 can regulate virus replication in the context of viral RNA synthesis via the transfection of its mimic into RD cells. We employed a mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) approach for the identification of miR-197 target genes by transfecting mimetic miR-197 into RD cells, and the differential expression of prospective target proteins was identified. A total of 1,822 genes were repeatedly and considerably downregulated in miR-197-transfected RD cells, 106 of which were predicted to have seed sites by TargetScan. Seven of the selected 8 genes potentially related to viral replication and immune response were confidently validated as direct miR-197 targets using a luciferase (untranslated region (3'-UTR)) reporter assay. The expression of three selected endogenous molecules (ITGAV, ETF1, and MAP2K1 (MEK1)) was significantly reduced when RD cells were transfected with an miR-197 mimic. Our results provide a database of miR-197 targets, which is potentially of interest in the area of viral pathogenesis and other research fields.
Project description:To investigate the difference of miRNA expression between lung cancer cell A549 and its DDP-resistant cell strain A549/DDP, we have employed miRNA microarray expression to discover the difference expression of miRNAs of A549 cells and A549/DDP. We conducted RT-qPCR to examine the expression levels of top differential expressed miRNAs, namely, miR-197-5p, miR-4443, miR-642a-3p, miR-27b-3p and miR-100-5p, confirming low variability between two methods.

Project description:We investigated the functional significance of ASH1-inducible miR-375 in terms of biologic phenotypes of ASH1-positive lung cancer cells. To this end, we conducted genome-wide expression profiling analysis of miR-375-transfected A549 cells. Microarray analysis using a Whole Human Genome 4 x 44K Microarray G4112F (Agilent) was conducted to examine changes in expression of potential target genes of miR-375 by transfection of Pre-miR-375 or Pre-miR-NC#2 (Ambion) in A549 cells, which were then harvested at 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours after transfection.

The A549/DDP was established from A549 in our laboratory, by exposing A549 to gradually increasing DDP concentrations, until the final concentration at 1μg/ml. To avoid the influence of drug to the A549/DDP cells, they were cultured in a drug-free medium for at least two weeks before gene expression analysis. miRNA expression of A549 and A549/DDP was then analzyed.
