Transcription profiling of human embryonic stem cell differentiation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that usually suppress the translation of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) through partial complementarity to the 3¡¦ untranslated region (3¡¦ UTR) of protein-coding mRNAs in animals. However, there is increasing evidence that miRNAs can also reduce the steady-state levels of their target mRNAs in animals. In this investigation, both miRNA and mRNA profiles from the undifferentiated human embryonic stem cell line hES-T3 (T3ES), hES-T3 derived embryoid bodies (T3EB) and hES-T3 differentiated fibroblast-like cells (T3DF) were quantitatively determined. Three common target genes of three highly expressed hES cell-specific miRNAs were identified by inverse expression levels of miRNAs to their target mRNAs. Experiment Overall Design: Three types of human embryonic stem cells and their derived cells (the undifferentiated human embryonic stem cell line hES-T3 (T3ES), hES-T3 derived embryoid bodies (T3EB) and hES-T3 differentiated fibroblast-like cells (T3DF)) were selected for RNA extraction. The genome-wide mRNA expression of T3ES, T3EB and T3DF cells was determined using Affymetrix human genome U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip. The abundantly expressed genes (10-fold above overall mean) in T3ES, T3EB and T3DF cells are selected to compare with the predicted gene targets of differentially expressed miRNAs in the same set of cells.
