Project description:RKIP has been implicated in suppression of breast tumor metastasis. Identification of microRNAs regulated by RKIP helps us to understand how RKIP suppresses tumor metastasis via its downstream target mircoRNAs and genes. Total RNA was extracted from 1833 cells expressing RKIP or control, respectively. Exiqon miRCURY LNA array v.11.0. was performed to identify the microRNAs regulated by RKIP.
Project description:Endothelial-enriched total RNAs were obtained from the suprarenal region of the abdominal aorta which is the murine AAA prone area in AngII-infused C57BL/6 mice. At 12 or 36h post-AngII pump implantation, endothelial-enriched RNAs from four abdominal aortas were pooled to obtain ~30 ng total RNA as one array sample, performed in triplicates. All RNA samples used for miRNA microarray study passed the initial quality control test and each sample was linearly amplified.
Project description:We have identified a number of miRNAs that are differentially expressed in LPS treated mouse peritoneal macrophages, as compared to untreated cells Peritoneal macrophages treated with LPS for 0, 4, 12, 24h. RNA was isolated and miRNA array assays were performed by Exiqon (miRCURY™ LNA Array version 10.0)
Project description:By employing miRCURY™ LNA array, we have identified a subset (79) of the total number of miRNAs that are differentially expressed in TGF beta1-treated human lung fibroblasts MRC-5 cells, as compared to untreated control cells To know the differential expression of miRNA in human lung fibroblasts after treatment of TGF beta1
Project description:We performed global microRNA expression profiling of a cohort of primary melanoma patient samples linked to a well-annotated clinical database. The goal of this study was to identify microRNA that are associated to or correlated with various clinical parameters and patient outcomes. Candidate microRNA were identified for building prognostic models and functional testing. 119 primary melanoma samples were analyzed in two color arrays. The reference sample used was an equal combination of all samples analyzed. By this design, ratio data of test sample/reference is mean-centered data.
Project description:HMGA2 has been implicated in tumor progression. Identification of microRNAs regulated by HMGA2 helps us to understand how HMGA2 regulates tumor metastasis via its downstream target mircoRNAs and genes. Total RNA was extracted from 1833 cells with control or depleted HMGA2 expression, respectively. Exiqon miRCURY LNA 5th generation expression array was performed to identify the microRNAs regulated by HMGA2.
Project description:Whole blood total RNA was isolated form PaxGene tubes using the PaxGene total RNA extraction kits. miRNA expression was profiled in Primary Sjogren's Syndrome patients and controls in order to independently validate differentially expressed miRNAs between patients and controls and between patient subgroups that were identified in 'Cohort 1'.
Project description:Whole blood total RNA was isolated form PaxGene tubes using the PaxGene total RNA extraction kits. miRNA expression was profiled in Primary Sjogren's Syndrome patients and controls in order to independently validate differentially expressed miRNAs between patients and controls and between patient subgroups that were identified in Cohorts 2 and 3.
Project description:We report the identification of microRNA-138 (miR-138), as a molecular signature of GSCs and demonstrate a vital role for miR-138 to promote growth and survival of bona fide tumor-initiating cells with self-renewal potential. Total RNA from Glioma Stem Cells and Neural Stem Cells were subjected to microRNA microarray analysis, 3 replicates each.
