Project description:Over the last decade, small noncoding RNA molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in the expression and function of eukaryotic genomes. It has been suggested that viral infections and neurological disease outcome may also be shaped by the influence of small RNAs. This has prompted us to suggest that HIV infection alters the endogenous miRNA expression patterns, thereby contributing to neuronal deregulation and AIDS dementia. Therefore, using primary cultures and neuronal cell lines, we examined the impact of a viral protein (HIV-1 Tat) on the expression of miRNAs due to its characteristic features such as release from the infected cells and taken up by noninfected cells. Using microRNA array assay, we demonstrated that Tat deregulates the levels of several miRNAs. Interestingly, miR-34a was among the most highly induced miRNAs in Tat-treated neurons. Tat also decreases the levels of miR-34a target genes such as CREB protein as shown by real time PCR. The effect of Tat was neutralized in the presence of anti-miR-34a. Using in situ hybridization assay, we found that the levels of miR-34a increase in Tat transgenic mice when compared with the parental mice. Therefore, we conclude that deregulation of neuronal functions by HIV-1 Tat protein is miRNA-dependent. Using primary cultures and neuronal cell lines, we examined the impact of a viral protein (HIV-1 Tat) on the expression of miRNAs and mRNAs.

Project description:Studies have shown that HIV-infected patients develop neurocognitive disorders characterized by neuronal dysfunction. The lack of productive infection of neurons by HIV suggests that viral and cellular proteins, with neurotoxic activities, released from HIV-1-infected target cells can cause this neuronal deregulation. The viral protein R (Vpr), a protein encoded by HIV-1, has been shown to alter the expression of various important cytokines and inflammatory proteins in infected and uninfected cells; however the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Using a human neuronal cell line, we found that Vpr can be taken up by neurons causing: (i) deregulation of calcium homeostasis, (ii) endoplasmic reticulum-calcium release, (iii) activation of the oxidative stress pathway, (iv) mitochondrial dysfunction and v- synaptic retraction. In search for the cellular factors involved, we performed microRNAs and gene array assays using human neurons (primary cultures or cell line, SH-SY5Y) that we treated with recombinant Vpr proteins. Interestingly, Vpr deregulates the levels of several microRNAs (e.g. miR-34a) and their target genes (e.g. CREB), which could lead to neuronal dysfunctions. Therefore, we conclude that Vpr plays a major role in neuronal dysfunction through deregulating microRNAs and their target genes, a phenomenon that could lead to the development of neurocognitive disorders. Using primary cultures and neuronal cell lines, we examined the impact of a viral protein (HIV-1 Vpr) on the expression of miRNAs and mRNAs.

Project description:Analysis of the dentate gyrus of amygdala electrical stimulation model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanism underlying epileptogenesis. This study was designed to estimate changes in miRNA expression levels after 7, 14, 30 and 90 days after electrical stimulation of amygdala as a model of temporal lobe epilepsy. The advantage of this study is time matched control (sham operated animals sacrificed at the same age as stimulated animals).

Project description:Sprouty proteins are evolutionarily conserved modulators of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Sprouty2 appears to function as a tumor suppressor in cancers, whereas we reported earlier that Sprouty2 functions as an oncogene in colorectal cancer. To further understand the oncogenic potential of Sprouty2 in the colon, microRNA expression profile of colon cancer cells was investigated. Sprouty2 suppression in HCT116 colon cancer cells significantly increased MicroRNA 194-5p. Sprouty2 dependent regulation of microRNA194-5p and its biological targets were studied further for their tumor suppressive actions in reducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer. Sprouty2 knockdown was performed by infecting HCT116 cells with three different lentivirus expressing shRNAs against human Sprouty2 mRNA and a control non targeted non-silencing shRNA (Sprouty2 MISSION shRNA Lentiviral Transduction Particles; TRCN 0000007522, TRCN 0000231589, TRCN 0000231588 and a non-targeted shRNA control from Sigma) following lentiviral transduction protocols provided by Sigma. Due to the random integration of the lentivirus into the host genome, varying levels of Sprouty2 gene knockdown was expected in puromycin resistant colonies. Three colonies in triplicate that demonstrated highest to lowest level of Sprouty2 suppression, as assessed by western blotting, were selected. RNA samples from these colonies and one from non-targeted shRNA expressing colony were prepared for microRNA expression profile analysis. Pooled RNA samples from each group were shipped to Exiqon for microRNA profiling based on miRCURY LNATM array technology.
