Platelet micro-RNA expression in type 2 diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT: Results Platelets in non-diabetic patients demonstrated miRNA expression profiles comparable to previously published data. The miRNA expression profiles of platelets in diabetics were similar. Statistical analysis unveiled only three miRNAs (miR-377-5p, miR-628-3p, miR-3137) with high reselection probabilities in resampling techniques, corresponding to signatures with only modest discriminatory performance. Functional annotation of predicted targets for these miRNAs pointed towards an influence of diabetes mellitus on mRNA processing. Conclusions/interpretation We did not find any major differences in platelet miRNA profiles between diabetics and non-diabetics. Minor differences pertained to miRNAs associated with mRNA processing. Thus, previously described differences in plasma miRNAs between diabetic and nondiabetic patients cannot be explained by plain changes in the platelet miRNA profile. Platelet miRNA profiles were assessed in clinically stable diabetic and nondiabetic patients (each n=30). Platelet miRNA was isolated from leucocyte-depleted platelet-rich plasma, and miRNA profiling was performed using LNA micro-array technology (miRBase 18.0, containing 1,917 human miRNAs). Effects of diabetes mellitus were explored by univariate statistical tests for each miRNA, adjusted for potential confounders, and by developing a multivariable signature, which was evaluated by resampling techniques. Platelet phenotype was assessed by light transmission aggregometry and impedance aggregometry.

Project description:Background: T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA) proteins function as regulators of cell homeostasis. These proteins control gene expression globally at multiple levels in response to dynamic regulatory changes and environmental stresses. Herein we identified a micro(mi)RNA signature associated to transiently TIA-depleted HeLa cells and analyzed the potential role of miRNAs combining genome-wide analysis data on mRNA and miRNA profiles. Results: Using high-throughput miRNA expression profiling, transient depletion of TIA-proteins in HeLa cells was observed to promote significant and reproducible changes (>2-fold, FDR<0.0001) affecting to a pool of up-regulated miRNAs (miR-30b*, miR125a-3p, miR-193a-5p, miR-197_MM2, miR-203, miR-210, miR-371-5p, miR-373*, miR-483-5p, miR-492, miR-498, miR-503, miR-572, miR-586, miR-612, miR-615, miR-623, miR-625, miR-629, miR-638, miR-658, miR-663, miR-671, miR-769-3p and miR-744). Differential expression analysis of some miRNAs was validated by reverse transcription and real time PCR. By target prediction and combined analysis of the genome-wide expression profiles of the mRNAs and miRNAs identified in TIA-depleted HeLa cells, we detected concomitant connections between up-regulated miRNAs and putative and experimental targeted mRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database analyses suggest that targeted mRNAs are related with biological processes associated to the regulation of DNA-dependent transcription, signal transduction and multicellular organismal development as well as with the enrichment of pathways in cancer, focal adhesion, regulation of actin cytoskeleton and MAPK and Wnt signalling pathways, respectively. Conclusion: All this considered, these observations suggest that specific miRNAs could act as potential mediators of the epigenetic switch linking transcriptomic dynamics and cell phenotypes mediated by TIA proteins. The analysis includes two cell types. Three biological replicates were performed per cell type and they were compared by using three dual-channel microarray hybridizations.

Project description:We investigated the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNA) in 27 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) FFPE tissues (3 chRCC, 5 papRCC and 18 ccRCC), 4 upper urinary tract-urothelial cell carcinomas of the renal pelvis-ureter (UUT-UCCs) and 20 normal kidneys by using the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Array, 6th gen (Exiqon, Woburn MA), containing capture probes that target all miRNAs for all species registered in the miRBASE version 16.0. Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) using appropriate endogenous controls was performed in order to validate the microarray results of the 27 most differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs. We identified 434 miRNAs that were significantly deregulated in all kidney tumours compared to the normal tissues. A total of 126 miRNAs (29%) had increased expression while 303 (69.8%) had decreased expression in RCC. Out of the 434 DE miRNAs, we detected 94 co-up-regulated and 218 co-down-regulated microRNAs among chRCC, papRCC and ccRCC. Of these, 89 and 203 were co-up- and co-down-regulated between RCCs and UUT-UCCs, respectively. We detected 11, 44 and 24 up-regulated miRNAs, which were specific for ccRCC, chRCC and papRCC, respectively. Moreover, 19, 18 and 8 miRNAs were uniquelly down-regulated in ccRCC, chRCC and papRCC, respectively. We also detected 89 and 203 co-up- and co-down-regulated miRNAs between kidney cancer and UUT-UCCs. Five miRNAs were up-regulated specifically in renal tumours and 49 in UUT-UCCs, whereas 15 miRNAs were down-regulated specifically in renal tumours and 89 in UUT-UCCs, respectively. Our data validicate that expression of miRNAs tends to be down-regulated renal cell carcinomas compared with normal kidney. We used 18 ccRCC, 3 chRCC, 5 papRCC, 4 UUT-UCC, 1 undifferentiated carcinoma and 19 normal tissue samples for miRNA profiling. Total RNA (0.5 M-BM-5g) from each sample and reference was labeled with Hy3M-bM-^DM-" fluorescent label, using the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Hi-Power Labeling Kit (Exiqon, Woburn MA). The Hy3M-bM-^DM-\"-labeled samples were hybridized to the miRCURY LNAM-bM-^DM-" microRNA Array, 6th gen (Exiqon, Woburn MA), using an Agilent hybridization SureHyb chamber and gasket slide kits. After hybridization, the microarray slides were scanned at 10 M-NM-<m using the High-Resolution Microarray Scanner (Agilent Technologies) and stored in an ozone free environment. The image analysis was carried out using the ImaGene 8.0 software (BioDiscovery, Inc., USA). Raw microarray data were filtered, background corrected and quantile normalizated. Normalized data were further extracted, pre-processed and sorted with Microsoft ExcelM-BM-.. MicroRNAs were considered to be significantly differentially expressed if they obtained a p-value<0.05 and a FDRM-bM-^IM-$0.05.
