Project description:The human microRNA hsa-miR-29a is a member of the miR-29 family of microRNAs, which is expressed in the adipogenic lineage. To identify putative direct target mRNAs of the miR-29 family, and to get an idea about potential functions of the miR-29 family in adipocyte development, we transfected human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells with miR-29a mimics (leading to elevation of intracellular levels of mature miR-29a). Subsequently, gene expression profiling was performed for hMADS cells at day 0 (48 h after transfection) and at day 3, i.e. 3 days after adipocyte differentiation was induced by a chemically defined medium.
Project description:Human multipotent adipose-derived stem (hMADS) cells were transfected at confluence with miR-26a or miR-C (non-targeting control microRNA). Two days later (=d0), adipocyte differentiation was induced. At d9 after start of differentiation, cells were harvested to identify mRNAs that are down- and upregulated by miR-26a versus miR-C.
Project description:The Mesoderm-specific transcript homolog protein MEST is a member of the alpha/beta hydrolase fold family that is expressed in adipose tissue, adipocytes as well as their precursor cells. To get an idea about potential functions of MEST in adipocyte development, we knocked down MEST in human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells, induced adipocyte differentiation by a chemically defined medium and performed gene expression profiling at the early stage of adipocyte differentiation. Two-condition experiment, hMADS cells at day 3 after induction of adipocyte differentiation, comparison of cells transfected with an siRNA targeting MEST (siMEST) to cells transfected with a control siRNA (siC). Biological replicates: 3, indepently grown and harvested. On each array, one biological replicate of siMEST-transfected cells was directly compared to one biological replicate os siC-transfected cells (serving as reference sample). All hybridizations were repeated with reversed dye assignment (dye-swap) as technical replicates.
Project description:miR-125b-5p is a well known miRNA already describded in several forms of cancer. miR-125b-5p is expressed in adipose tissue, adipocytes as well as their precursor cells. We aim to invest the role of miR-125b-5p in white adipocytes conversion into brite adipocytes. To get an idea about putative targets of miR-125b-5p in adipocyte conversion, we transfected miR-125b-5p mimic in human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells, differenciated in white adipocytes. Gene expression profiling is performed 48h after hMADSC transfection.

Two-condition experiment, hMADS cells at day 16 after conversion of white adipocytes into brite adipocytes, comparison of cells transfected with a mimic miR-125b-5p to cells transfected with a negative controle. Biological replicates: 4, indepently grown and harvested. On each array, one biological replicate of mimic miR-125b-5p transfected cells was directly compared to one biological replicate of mimic negative control transfected cells (serving as reference sample). All hybridizations were repeated with reversed dye assignment (dye-swap) as technical replicates.

Project description:Analysis of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hMADS cells) overexpressing either miR-30a or miR-30d, as well as knocked-down for the whole miR-30 family. Gene expression was analyzed after 4 days in adipogenic medium. Data give insight into the role of miR-30 during adipogenesis, and identifies enriched predicted targets for miR-30. Human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hMADS cells) were transfected with one of the following: premiR-30a (Ambion), premiR-30d (Ambion), premiR negative control #1 (Ambion). Three days after transfection, cells were submitted to adipogenic differentiation for 4 days. In a separate experiment, hMADS cells were transfected with either antimiR-30 or antimiR-neg (mismatch control), and then submitted to differentiation as described above. For each experimental condition, 2 hMADS cell clones were used independently (clone B7 and B9).
Project description:human Multipotent Adipose-Derived Stem (hMADS) cells were subjected to adipogenic differentiation in vitro and microRNA expression was analyzed during differentiation. Total RNA was extracted at day 0 (AD0), day 3 (AD3) and day 8 (AD8) of differentiation, two biological replicates (1) and (2), and microRNA profiles were established with SOLiD sequencing.
