Project description:In this study, we explored the molecular basis of site-specific metastasis of breast cancer to the lungs in a clinically relevant model based on the JygMC(A) cell line. In this dataset, we include expression data from JygMC(A) primary mammary tumors (carcinoma and EMT-like areas), lung metastases, normal mammary glands and normal lung parenchyma. In total, 36 laser microdissected samples were analyzed. We built a customized NanoString nCounter® Gene Expression Codeset of 104 genes and controls that contained significant embryonic core stem cell genes and EMT-MET markers. This customized assay was performed to target gene expression profiling on the following samples: primary tumor carcinoma, primary tumor EMT, lung metastasis, normal mammary gland and normal lung parenchyma.

Project description:Background: Molecular adaptations in the striatum mediated by dopamine (DA) denervation or Levodopa (L-dopa) treatment have been implicated with the motor deficits found in Parkinsonâ??s disease (PD). Alterations in glutamatergic neurotransmission and anti-oxidant mechanisms are reported to play important roles in mediating these changes. However, the mechanisms mediating the molecular adaptations in the striatum are not well understood. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as potent post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression with fundamental roles in numerous biological processes. miRNAs are known to influence the development and maintenance of striatal neurons. Therefore, we sought to determine the genome-wide expression levels of miRNAs in PD striatal tissues. Methods: Using a digital gene expression platform to quantify miRNA levels, we compared the expression of 800 miRNAs in human postmortem putamen tissues from PD patients and controls. Results: We detected the expression of approximately 250 miRNAs in postmortem human putamen samples collected from patients with PD and healthy controls. There was an abundance of a subset of 17 miRNAs (10 up- and 7 down-regulated) differing substantially between PD and the control tissues. Conclusions: We identified deregulated miRNAs most likely associated with altered striatal functions found in PD. This approach may provide insight into pathogenesis and additional therapeutic targets for the development novel treatment strategies for the disease. Human postmortem putamen tissues from 12 patients with PD symptoms and 12 neurologically normal controls. Samples were obtained from the Human Brain and Spinal Fluid Resource Center, Los Angeles, CA through NIH NeuroBioBank, and stored at -80°C until RNA isolation. Total RNA was extracted using the miRVana RNA isolation kit, following the manufacturerâ??s instructions (Ambion). Using 225ng total RNA, miRNA levels were assayed by direct digital detection using Nanostring miRNA assay kits (Nanostring Technologies).

Project description:Background: Molecular adaptations in the striatum mediated by dopamine (DA) denervation or Levodopa (L-dopa) treatment have been implicated with the motor deficits found in Parkinsonâs disease (PD). Alterations in glutamatergic neurotransmission and anti-oxidant mechanisms are reported to play important roles in mediating these changes. However, the mechanisms mediating the molecular adaptations in the striatum are not well understood. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as potent post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression with fundamental roles in numerous biological processes. miRNAs are known to influence the development and maintenance of striatal neurons. To determine the contribution of miRNAs in molecular adaptations found in PD, we screened the expression of 800 miRNAs in postmortem striatum samples obtained from PD and neurologically normal controls. We detected the expression of approximately 250 miRNAs in postmortem human putamen samples collected from patients with PD and healthy controls. There was an abundance of a subset of 17 miRNAs (10 up- and 7 down-regulated) differing substantially between PD and the control, suggesting that miRNAs are altered in the striatum during the course of PD. Computational analysis show that many of these miRNAs targets pro-inflammatory factors in the striatum. Therefore, we sought to detrmine the expression of experimentally validated pro-inflammatory transcripts in PD striatum. Methods: Using a digital gene expression platform to quantify 134 gene transcripts, we compared human postmortem putamen tissues from patients with PD and neurologically normal controls. Results: We identified deregulated expression of 10 gene transcripts (4 up- and 6 down-regulated mRNAs) in postmortem human putamen samples collected fromPD patients compared to controls. The expression of these genes negative correlates with the expression of many of the differentially epxressed miRNAs. Moreover, many of these genes are predicted targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs. Conclusions: We identified deregulated mRNAs most likely associated with anti-oxidant mechanims in PD striatum. This approach may provide insights into pathogenesis of the disease. Human postmortem putamen tissues from 12 patients with PD symptoms and 12 neurologically normal controls were used in the study.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that circulating exosomes mediate some of the beneficial effects of exercise via the transfer of microRNAs between tissues. However, the impact of short-term (0.5 year in this study) and long-term (25+ years in this study) regular bouts of exercise on circulating exosomal microRNAs (exomiRs) remains unknown. Our aim was to elucidate the prevention pattern of exomiRs and their targeted pathways. Therefore, in the present study we analyzed serum exomiR expression in healthy young, sedentary participants (n=14) at baseline and following a half year-long moderate-intensity regular exercise training. We also analyzed serum exomiR expression in older, healthy trained participants (seniors, n=11) who engaged in endurance activities for at least 25 years. Following the isolation and enrichment of serum exosomes their exomiR levels were determined using the amplification-free Nanostring platform.

Project description:Bloom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic instability and cancer predisposition syndrome caused by loss of function mutations in the BLM RECQ helicase gene. To ask if some of the distinctive pathological features of Bloom syndrome might reflect altered gene expression, we analyzed global mRNA and miRNA expression in fibroblasts from 16 patients and 15 matched normal controls, and in control primary diploid fibroblasts depleted of the BLM protein. We document significant differential expression of both protein-coding genes and miRNAs with well-characterized cancer associations in BLM-deficient cells. Differences in expression correlated significantly with G4 motifs, which are associated with potential to form G-quadruplex structures. These results indicate that BLM helicase may modulate gene expression by regulating the in vivo stability of G-quadruplex structures, and identify sets of genes and miRNAs whose expression, when altered, may drive the pathogenesis of Bloom syndrome and associated cancers. Global profiling of mRNA and miRNA expression was analyzed in primary fibroblasts from 16 patients and 15 matched normal controls, and in 9 primary diploid fibroblasts depleted of BLM protein by BLM-specific (3), control (3) and scrambled (3) shRNA.

Project description:Global miRNA expression profiling of human malignancies is gaining popularity in both basic and clinically driven research. But to date, the majority of such analyses have used microarrays and quantitative real-time PCR. With the introduction of digital count technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the NanoString nCounter System, we have at our disposal, many more options. To make effective use of these different platforms, the strengths and pitfalls of several miRNA profiling technologies were assessed, including a microarray platform, NGS technologies and the NanoString nCounter System. These results were compared to gold-standard quantitative real-time PCR. Comparison of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines grown in vitro (n = 5) and in vivo (n = 5) as xenograft models.
