Early Multipotent Cardiovascular Progenitors Derived from Pluripotent Stem Cells Engraft in Postmyocard Infarted Primate

ABSTRACT: During embryogenesis, the cardiac cell fate is acquired as early as gastrulation. There is compelling evidence that embryonic stem cells (ESC) can recapitulate early steps in cardiogenesis. Identification from human pluripotent stem cells of early cardiovascular cell progenitors, at the origin of the first cardiac lineage, would shed light on human normal and pathological cardiogenesis and would pave the way toward cell therapy for cardiac degenerative diseases. Here, we report the isolation, and a phenotypic characterisation of an early Oct-4+, SSEA-1+, Mesp1+ population of cardiovascular progenitors derived from human pluripotent stem cells. This multipotential progenitor features the capability to generate cardiomyocytes as well as smooth muscle and endothelial cells. We further bring a proof of concept that these progenitors can be used in cardiac regenerative medicine as allografted in infarcted non human primate myocardium, they differentiate in ventricular myocytes without any adverse effect. One RNA sample from HUESC-POU5F1 was compared in dye-swap to undifferentiated HUESC. Three distinct RNA samples from BMP2-induced SSEA1+ cells were compared in dye-swap to paired remaining SSEA1-. Reference samples correspond to undifferentiated HUESC and to SSEA1 negative cells, respectively. population respectivement.

Project description:Recent studies have identified miR-210 among a set of hypoxia-regulated miRNAs, and shown the central regulatory role played by HIF to control transcription of this miRNA. Contradictory data exist concerning the regulation and roles of miR-210 during cancer progression. miR-210 appears at the same time over-expressed in some solid tumors (breast, pancreas, head and neck carcinomas, gliomas) while often deleted in ovarian carcinoma. It has been shown that depending on the tissue type or cellular model, miR-210 was indeed able to either promote entry into the cell cycle and to inhibit apoptosis or rather repress tumor initiation. We show here deregulation of several miRNAs in human lung cancer biopsies, including an over-expression of miR-210 which appears specific of late-stages of the tumor (>stage 2). MiR-210 function was then analyzed in the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. We found that miR-210 induced a delayed inhibition of proliferation associated with an induction of cell death. We also observed that mir-210 induces a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the apparition of an aberrant mitochondrial phenotype. mRNA expression profiling of cells overexpressing mir-210 revealed a specific signature characterized by an enrichment in mir-210 predicted targets among the downregulated transcripts (57 out of 243, p<10-12). Functional annotation of this set of mir-210-regulated transcripts, which includes several subunits of Electron Transport Chain (ETC) complex I and complex II revealed enrichment for terms such as 'cell death' and 'mitochondrial dysfunction'. Two of these ETC subunits, predicted to be targets of mir-210 by several bioinformatics prediction tools, were experimentally confirmed after cloning of their respective 3'UTR in a luciferase reporter vector. Finally, we provide experimental evidence indicating that these mitochondrial alterations could modulate HIF via a positive regulatory loop. Overall, our data strongly suggest that mir-210 could mediate two apparently opposite functions: i) apoptosis through targeting of specific mitochondrial components ii) a modulation of HIF through a positive regulatory loop. We propose that this dual behavior can explain the contradictory data regarding the impact of miR-210 during cancer progression. Refer to individual Series.

Project description:Specificity of interaction between a microRNA (miRNA) and its targets crucially depends on the seed region located in its 5’-end. It is often implicitly considered that two miRNAs sharing the same biological activity should display similarity beyond the strict six nucleotide region that forms the seed, in order to form specific complexes with the same mRNA targets. We have found that expression of hsa-miR-147b and hsa-miR-210, though triggered by different stimuli (i.e. lipopolysaccharides and hypoxia, respectively), induce very similar cellular effects in term of proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Hsa-miR-147b only shares a “minimal” 6-nucleotides seed sequence with hsa-miR-210, but is identical with hsa-miR-147a over 20 nucleotides, except for one base located in the seed region. Phenotypic changes induced after heterologous expression of miR-147a strikingly differ from those induced by miR-147b or miR-210. In particular, miR-147a behaves as a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation and migration. These data fit well with the gene expression profiles observed for miR-147b and miR-210, which are very similar, and the gene expression profile of miR-147a, which is distinct from the two others. Bioinformatics analysis of all human miRNA sequences indicates multiple cases of miRNAs from distinct families exhibiting the same kind of similarity that would need to be further characterized in terms of putative functional redundancy. Besides, it implies that functional impact of some miRNAs can be masked by robust expression of miRNAs belonging to distinct families. To compare the set of transcripts targeted by hsa-miR-147a, hsa-miR-147b and hsa-miR-210, we overexpressed these miRNAs in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells by transfecting them with synthetic pre-miRNAs or a synthetic “negative” pre-miRNA as a control (miR-Neg). RNA samples were harvested at 48 hours post-transfection and 3 independent experiments were carried out. 48 hours post-transfection, 3 independent experiments were performed in dye-swap: hsa-miR-147a versus miR-Neg; hsa-miR-147b versus miR-Neg; hsa-miR-210 versus miR-Neg.

Project description:Well-differentiated tumours (WDT) of the thyroid gland can be difficult to diagnose. Focal nuclear clearing can be suggestive of a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), while questionable vascular or capsular penetration may raise the possibility of diagnosis of a follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). The recently proposed term “thyroid tumours of uncertain malignant potential” (TT-UMP) defines cases showing inconclusive morphological evidence of malignancy. We use microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling to analyze 42 well differentiated thyroid tumours including 7 follicular tumours of uncertain malignant potential (FT-UMP), 6 well differentiated tumours of uncertain malignant potential (WDT-UMP), 7 follicular thyroid adenomas (FTA), 5 follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FV-PTC) 6 follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and 11 conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (C-PTC) with 6 C-PTC mutated for BRAFV600E (C-PTC-mut) and 5 not mutated: wild type (C-PTC-wt). Comparison of these 13 tumours of uncertain malignant potential (7 FT-UMP and 6 WDT-UMP) with those obtained from 16 PTC (11 C-PTC and 5 FV-PTC), 6 FTC and 7 FTA is performed in order to clarify the relationships between TT-UMP and the morphologically well characterized categories of thyroid tumours (i.e. C-PTC, FV-PTC, FTC and FTA). In first, each pathological sample (“L” for Lesional tissue) is compared with its matched control (“S” for Safe tissue) for the 42 patients (84 miRNA microarray slides). This control was taken from the same patient at a large distance from the tumour. Secondly, the perilesional tissue from the same patients but 2 (1 PTC and 1 adenoma, without enough RNA left) is compared to normal thyroid tissue (safe tissue reference) obtained from a patient who underwent total thyroidectomy for a laryngeal carcinoma that partially invaded the thyroid gland, to search for microRNA signatures of perilesional tissues (80 miRNA microarray slides).Experiments is performed with a miRNA microarray, referenced in GEO under the accession number GPL4717 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL4717). 42 Patients: 7 FT-UMP, 6 WDT-UMP, 7 FTA (+1 duplicate sample), 5 FV-PTC, 6 FTC (+ 2 duplicate samples), and 11 C-PTC. 44 dye-swap pairs and 1 with no dye swap pair for a total of 89 samples.
