Project description:From the results of microarray, 7616 miRNAs with significantly different expression ratios were selected when CNE-2-S-18/SP cells were treated with DC120. Among these, 80 miRNAs were up-regulated and 78 were down-regulated. We then chose 20 miRNAs through the qRT – PCR, and our results showed that 9 miRNAs were up-regulated after treatment with DC120, which was consistent with the results of the microarray. Among these, miR-30a were significantly up-regulated. These results indicated that miR 30a expression was up-regulated by DC120. We then investigated the role of miR 30a in DC120-treated cells, we explored its potential targets using a bioinformatics approach of complementary base pairing. The relative luciferase activity of the reporter that contained the wild type 3' UTR was significantly suppressed when miR 30a was contransfected. In contrast, the luciferase activity of the mutant reporter was unaffected by the contransfection of miR 30a, indicating that miR 30a suppressed Sox2 gene expression using the miR 30a binding sequence at the 3' UTR of the Sox2 gene. Additionally, the ectopic expression of miR 30a caused a decrease in Sox2 protein expression and mRNA levels in CNE-2-S-18 cells. These data demonstrate that miR 30a may directly target the Sox2 gene via seed matches on both 3' UTR. Taken together, our results demonstrate that DC120 regulates Sox2 via up-regulation of miR 30a.

Project description:Estrogen Receptor B (ERB) is a member of the nuclear receptor family of homeostatic regulators that is frequently lost in breast cancer (BC), where its presence correlates with a better prognosis and a less aggressive clinical outcome of the disease. Contrary to ERα, its closest homolog, ERB shows also significant estrogen-independent activities, including the ability to inhibit cell cycle progression and to regulate gene transcription in the absence of the ligand. Investigating the nature and extent of this constitutive activity of ERB in BC MCF-7 cells by miRNA-Seq, we identified 127 miRNAs differentially expressed in ERB+ vs ERB- cells in the absence of ligand, including upregulated oncosuppressor miRs, such miR-30a, and downregulated onco-miRs, like miR-21. In addition, a significant fraction of >1,600 unique proteins identified in these cells by iTRAQ (isobaric Tag for Relative and Absolute Quantitation) quantitative proteomics was either increased or decreased by ERB, revealing regulation of multiple cell pathways by ligand-free receptor. Transcriptome analysis indicates that for a large number of proteins regulated by ERB the corresponding mRNAs are unaffected, including a large number of putative targets of ERB-regulated miRNAs, indicating a central role of miRNAs in mediating BC cell proteome regulation by ERB. Expression of a mimic of miR-30a-5p, a direct target and downstream effector of ERB in BC, led to the identification of several target transcripts of this miRNA, including 11 encoding proteins whose intracellular concentration is significantly affected by unliganded receptor. These results demonstrate a significant effect of ligand-free ERB on BC cell functions via modulation of the cell proteome and suggest that miRNA regulation may represent a key event in the control of the biological and clinical phenotype of hormone-responsive BC by this nuclear receptor.

Project description:The regulation of gene expression in cells, including by microRNAs (miRNAs), is a dynamic process. Current methods for identifying microRNA targets by combining sequence, miRNA and mRNA expression data do not adequately utilize the temporal information and thus miss important miRNAs and their targets. We developed a new method, mirDREM, that uses probabilistic modeling to reconstruct dynamic regulatory networks which explain how temporal gene expression is jointly regulated by microRNAs and transcription factors (TFs). We used mirDREM to study the regulation of postnatal lung development in mice. The reconstructed network for this process identified several known miRNAs and TFs and provided novel predictions about additional miRNAs and the specific developmental phases they regulate. Microarray data of Mouse Lung Epithelial cells MLE-12 after transfection with inhibitors for miR-30a, miR-30d, miR-23b and miR-125 and with precursors for miR-337, miR-466a, miR466d and miR-476c. The results provide a general insight into the gene expression profile which was modulated by the inhibition or overexpression of these microRNAs. We experimentally validated several predictions and show that miR-30d, miR-30a, and miR-467c are new regulators of proliferation in lung cells. Our analysis establishes new links between identified miRNAs and lung diseases, supporting recent evidence that such diseases may represent reversal of lung differentiation. We first analyzed the endogenous expression of miR-30a, miR-30d, miR-23b, miR-125, miR-337, miR-466a, miR466d and miR-476c in MLE-12 cells. Then, we transfected the MLE-12 cells with inhibitors ( miR-30a, miR-30d, miR-23b and miR-125) for the highly expressed and precursos for those that were almost undetectable (miR-337, miR-466a, miR466d and miR-476c). RNA level of the 8 microRNAs was verify by qRT-PCR in order to validate the transfection efficiency. Finally, 0.5ug of total RNA was used to performe the gene expression microarrays for each condition

Project description:Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial metabolic syndrome defined by the rapid loss of skeletal muscle mass and the loss of fat mass. Up 80% of cancer patients at the late stage with cachexia suffer from progressive atrophy of adipose tissue. Unlike studies on skeletal muscle wasting, there is limited research on fat loss in cachexia. It was noted that most patients suffer from fat loss as cancer progress. Fat loss precedes muscle loss, is associated with shorter survival, and is variable to timing and intensity in various cancer populations. Increased lipolysis may be the leading cause of fat loss in cancer cachexia. miRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs of 19~25 nucleotides that regulate gene silencing by interacting with the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNA to cause mRNA degradation and translational repression. miRNAs play multifaceted roles in pancreatic cancer proliferation, survival, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Aberrant expression of miRNA in circulating exosomes may play potential roles in modulating fat loss in cancer cachexia. We identified 2 miRNAs, miR-16 and miR-29, which have 2-fold higher expression existed in at PDAC cells. To explore which genes in adipogenesis and lipolysis were directly affected by miR-16-5p or/and miR-29a-3p, we analyzed the targets which were down-regulated in both miR-16-5p and miR-29a-3p-transfected 3T3-L1 cells by mass analysis.

Project description:Background: Rosmarinic acid (RA), a natural phenolic acid, exhibits promising anti-cancer properties. The abnormal expression of microRNA (miRNA) regulates the gene expression and plays a role as an oncogenic or tumor suppressor in TNBC. However, the biological role of RA in miR-30a-5p on BCL2L11 during MDA-MB-231 induced breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) progression and its regulatory mechanism have not been elucidated. Objective: To investigate whether RA inhibited the silencing effect of miR-30a-5p on the BCL2L11 gene and promoted apoptosis in BCSCs. Materials and Methods: We assessed the migration, colony formation, proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of BCSCs after RA treatment using the wound-healing assay, colony formation assay, CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression of mRNA and protein levels of BCL-2, Bax, BCL2L11, and P53 genes in BCSCs after RA treatment was obtained by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Differential miRNA expression in BCSCs was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Targetscan was utilized to predict the targets of miR-30a-5p. The dual luciferase reporter system was used for validation of the miR-30a-5p target. Results: Wound-healing assay, colony formation assay, CCK-8 assay, and cell cycle assay results showed that RA inhibited migration, colony formation and viability of BCSCs, and cell cycle arrest in the G0-G1 phase. At the highest dose of RA, we noticed cell atrophy, while the arrest rate at 100 μg/mL RA surpassed that at 200 μg/mL RA. Apoptotic cells appeared early (Membrane Associated Protein V FITC+, PI-) or late (Membrane Associated Protein V FITC+, PI+) upon administration of 200 μg/mL RA, Using high-throughput sequencing to compare the differences in miRNA expression, we detected down-regulation of miR-30a-5p expression, and the results of dual luciferase reporter gene analysis indicated that BCL2L11 was a direct target of miR-30a-5p. Conclusion: RA inhibited the silencing effect of miR-30a-5p on the BCL2L11 gene and enhanced apoptosis in BCSCs. Keywords Apoptosis; miR-30a-5p; BCSCs; Rosmarinic acid; Triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:We determined the effect of p53 activation on de novo protein synthesis using quantitative proteomics of newly synthesized proteins (pulsed stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture, pSILAC) in combination with mRNA and non-coding RNA expression analyses by next generation sequencing (RNA-, miR-Seq) in the colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line SW480. Furthermore, genome-wide DNA binding of p53 was analyzed by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq). Thereby, we identified differentially regulated mRNAs (1258 up, 415 down), miRNAs (111 up, 95 down), lncRNAs (270 up, 123 down) and proteins (542 up, 569 down). Changes in mRNA and protein expression levels showed a positive correlation (r = 0.50, p < 0.0001). More transcriptionally induced genes displayed occupied p53 binding sites (4.3% mRNAs, 7.2% miRNAs, 6.3% lncRNAs, 5.9% proteins) than repressed genes (2.4% mRNAs, 3.2% miRNAs, 0.8% lncRNAs, 1.9% proteins), suggesting indirect mechanisms of repression. Around 50% of the downregulated proteins displayed seed-matching sequences of p53-induced miRNAs in the corresponding 3â??-UTRs. Moreover, proteins repressed by p53 significantly overlapped with those previously shown to be repressed by miR-34a. We confirmed upregulation of the novel direct p53 target genes LINC01021, MDFI, ST14 and miR-486 and showed that ectopic LINC01021 expression inhibited proliferation in SW480 cells. Furthermore, HMGB1, KLF12 and CIT mRNAs were confirmed as direct targets of the p53-induced miR-34a, miR-205 and miR-486-5p, respectively. In line with the loss of p53 function during tumor progression, elevated expression of HMGB1, KLF12 and CIT was detected in advanced stages of cancer. This study provides new insights and a comprehensive catalogue of p53-mediated regulations and p53 DNA binding in CRC cells.

Project description:The extraocular muscles (EOMs) are a unique group of muscles that are anatomically and physiologically distinct from other skeletal muscles. Previously, we and others have shown that EOMs have a unique transcriptome and proteome. Here, we investigated the expression pattern of microRNAs (miRNAs) in EOM, as they may play a role in generating the unique EOM allotype. We screened LC Sciences miRNA microarrays covering the sequences of miRBase 10.0 to define the microRNAome of normal mouse EOM and tibialis anterior (TA) limb muscle. 74 miRNAs were found to be differentially regulated (p-value < 0.05) and 31 miRNAs (14 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated) were found to be differentially regulated at a signal strength > 500 including the muscle-specific miR-206, miR-1, miR-133a, miR-133b and miR-499. qPCR analysis was used to validate the differential expression. Bioinformatic tools were used to identify potential miRNA-mRNA-protein interactions and integrate data with previous transcriptome and proteomic profiling data. Luciferase assays using co-transfection of precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) along with reporter constructs containing the 3’-untranslated region (3’UTR) of their predicted target genes were used to validate targeting by identified miRNAs. The definition of the EOM microRNAome complements existing transcriptome and proteome data about the molecular make-up of EOM and provides further insight into regulation of muscle genes. These data will also help to further explain the unique EOM muscle allotype and its differential sensitivity to diseases such as Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) and may assist in development of therapeutic strategies.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sex on miRNA expression in skeletal muscle. MiRNAs were first screened using Taqman®miRNA arrays in skeletal muscle of 42 healthy participants from the Gene SMART study (23 males and 19 females aged 18-45 yrs). Based on this 2 candidate miRNAs, hsa-miRNA-30a-5p (miR-30a) and hsa-miRNA-30c-5p (miR-30c), were overexpressed in three female and three male primary skeletal muscle lines. Overexpression of miR-30a and miR-30c was confirmed by quantifying transcript levels using qPCR RNA sequencing to understand the transcriptome profile changes driven by these miRNAs and to explore the putative biological pathways.

Total RNA from four EOM and four TA tissue samples dissected from four adult male C57/Bl10 mice were used (TA served as control) to screen four LC Sciences microRNA Microarray chips. The chips contained microRNA sequences based on miRBase content 10.0 totalling 568 different miRNAs. Samples were labelled with Cy3 and Cy5 using dye-swap. Relative differences of miRNA expression was expressed as fold-changes EOM/TA, which were calculated after normalization across all four arrays.
