Project description:In order to identify the miRNAs in adult Dicer1-CKO Müller glia of the neural retina, we isolated the Müller glia from Rlbp-CreER: Stopf/f-tdTomato/Dicerf/f mice by means of fluorescent activated cell sorting and analyzed their miRNAs using NanoStrings Technologies®. miRNA expression of Dicer1-CKO Müller glia was compared to wild type Müller glia (a re-analyzed sample from GSE94759). We found that all highly expressed miRNAs declined in the Dicer-CKO leading to a disruption in retinal architecture over time.

Project description:Müller glial cells (MG) generate retinal progenitor (RPC)-like cells after injury in non-mammalian species, though this does not occur in the mammalian retina. Studies have profiled gene expression in these cells to define genes that may be relevant to their differences in neurogenic potential. However, less is known about differences in micro-RNA (miRNA) expression. In this study, we compared miRNAs from RPCs and MG to identify miRNAs more highly expressed in RPCs, and others more highly expressed in MG. To determine whether these miRNAs are relevant to the difference in neurogenic potential between these two cell types, we tested them in dissociated cultures of MG using either mimics or antagomiRs to increase or reduce expression, respectively. Among the miRNAs tested, miR-25 and miR-124 over-expression, or let-7 antagonism, induced Ascl1 expression and conversion of approximately 40% of mature MG into a neuronal/RPC phenotype. Our results suggest that the differences in miRNA expression between MG and RPCs contribute to their difference in neurogenic potential and that manipulations in miRNAs provide a new tool to reprogram MG for retinal regeneration.

Project description:In order to identify the miRNAs in adult and young (postnatal day 11/12) Müller glia of the neural retina, we isolated the Müller glia from Rlbp-CreER: Stopf/f-tdTomato mice by means of fluorescent activated cell sorting and analyzed their miRNAs using NanoStrings Technologies®. We next compared miRNA expression of acutely isolated Müller glia with those that were maintained in dissociated culture for 8 and 14 days. We found that most miRNAs declined in vitro. Interestingly, some miRNAs that were not highly expressed in adult Müller glia increased in cultured cells. Our results thus show the miRNA profile of adult Müller glia and the effects of cell culture on their levels.

Project description:Various transgenic CreER;tdTomato mouse-lines (Pdgfrb-CreER, Col1a1-CreER, Gli1-CreER, Cdh5-CreER, Myh11-CreER, Ng2-CreER) were pulsed with tamoxifen and subjected to either Sham or TAC surgery at 21 days after tamoxifen induction. Two and four weeks later, tdTomato-positive cells were isolated from hearts by FACS sorting and 10x Genomics scRNA 3'RNA sequencing pipeline was applied. We identified fibroblast, endothelial cells, mural cells and Schwann cells as major cardiac cell types in our samples. Gene expression changes between subtypes of the major cell types point towards a general upregulation of extra cellular matrix related genes, with fibroblasts being the highest producer.

Project description:Tumor formation constitutes a major obstacle to the clinical application of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). As P-RPCs could successfully integrate into host eyes without development of teratomas or NOG, we sought to identify differentially expressed genes between P-RPCs and ESC-RPCs through genome-wide transcript profiling. Inhibition of Wnt signaling by DKK1 promotes the commitment of ESC-RPCs to more mature retinal cells and reduces the occurrence of NOG to 3%. DKK1-treated ESC-RPCs efficiently integrate to the host retina, form synaptic connections and restore visual function. Here, we report that further differentiation of ESC-derived neural progenitors into retinal progenitor cells (ESC-RPCs) completely eliminates teratomas in ocular transplantation. However, tumor-like neural overgrowth (NOG) occurs in 61% of transplanted eyes. ESC-RPCs were divided into two groups according to the differentiation stages for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Normal control ESC-RPCs (N) were represented the homogeneous populations of early stage expression profiles of immature ESC-RPCs. DKK1 treated ESC-RPCs (D) were represented the homogeneous populations of late stage expression profiles of further differetiated mature ESC-RPCs. To sought the pathways involved in the proliferation and oncogenesis of ESC-RPCs, the newborn C57 mice reitinal progenitor cells (R) were applied as negative control. Each group above had three independent biological repeats.

Project description:Previous lineage analyses have shown that retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are multipotent throughout development, and expression profiling studies have shown a great deal of molecular heterogeneity among RPCs. To determine if the molecular heterogeneity predicts that an RPC will produce particular types of progeny, clonal lineage analysis was used to investigate the progeny of a subset of RPCs, those that express the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, Olig2. In contrast to the large and complex set of clones generated by viral marking of random embryonic RPCs, the embryonic Olig2+ RPCs underwent terminal divisions, producing small clones with primarily two of the five cell types being made by the pool of RPCs at that time. The embryonically produced cell types made by Olig2+ RPCs were cone photoreceptors and horizontal cell (HC) interneurons. Moreover, the embryonic Olig2+ RPC did not make the later Olig2+ RPC. The later, postnatal Olig2+ RPCs also made terminal divisions, which were biased towards production of rod photoreceptors and amacrine cell (AC) interneurons. These data indicate that the multipotent progenitor pool is made up of distinctive types of RPCs, which have biases towards producing subsets of retinal neurons in a terminal division, with the types of neurons produced varying over time. This strategy is similar to that of the developing Drosophila melanogaster ventral nerve cord, with the Olig2+ cells behaving as ganglion mother cells. Single retinal cells were isolated in tubes containing lysis buffer, their mRNAs were reverse transcribed, and the resulting cDNAs were PCR amplified for 35 cycles. Labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix 430 2.0 microarrays and the data was normalized using MAS5.0 software. These cells were examined for the expression of Olig2 or other bHLH factors.

Project description:Currently, micro RNAs (miRNAs) constitute a promising models for cell-to-cell communication since they are transferred between cells to execute essential roles in many processes. Their structure and size, in addition to various transport mechanisms, allow them to remain stable within various biological fluids, surviving in extremely adverse conditions, including low pH, boiling, and freezing. The presence of miRNAs in reproductive fluids, such as follicular, uterine and seminal fluid, indicate potential roles in the reproductive system. These extracellular miRNAs can be transported by lipoproteins (both HDL and LDL) or other proteins, including Argonaute2 (AGO2) and nucleophosmin1 (NPM1). Another transport system is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as apoptotic bodies, microvesicles (MVs) and/or exosome-like vesicles. EVs protect miRNAs from degradation and contribute to their stability within biological fluids. Furthermore, EVs can transport a wide range of components packaged in a selective way. For instance, Squadrito et al. (2014), used macrophages and endothelial cells to demonstrate that the sorting of miRNAs into EVs for heterotrophic cell communication is altered by both, the presence of target transcripts and the self-presence of the respectively miRNA. In addition, the signature of miRNAs found in the exosomes significantly differed for those detected in the parent cells. To date, mechanisms controlling the specific loading of miRNAs into exosomes remain unclear. Indeed, several mechanisms may govern exosome sorting of specific subsets of miRNAs. MiRNA sorting appears to be influenced by different pathways and molecules in different cell types and tissues, and miRNAs contain well defined motifs (i.e., EXOmotifs), that direct the miRNA allocation into exosomes before delivery into recipient cells. A recent study showed that this RNA sequence can be recognized by the sumoylated form of the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (hnRNPA2B1). Moreover, a terminal 30 nucleotide addition in miRNAs affects their selective sorting in B cells. Another hypothesis suggests that RNAs are selectively sorted depending on the differential affinity of RNA motifs towards the raft-like region of the cytoplasmic surface of microvesicular body (MVB) limiting membranes. Current data indicate that cells can communicate with each other through the transfer of miRNA-loaded exosomes. For example, monocyte-derived exosomes deliver miR-150 to endothelial cells and enhance endothelial cell migration by reducing c-myb expression. The miRNA content of exosomes plays a critical role in such cell-to-cell communication and determines the fate of recipient cells. Thus, exosomes derived from the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells of myeloma patients promote tumor growth depending on the content of miR-15a in exosomes. Our group has described a novel cell-to-cell communication mechanism involving the delivery of endometrial miRNAs from the maternal endometrium to the trophectoderm cells of preimplantation embryos. Specifically, in B6C3 derived mouse embryos, we found EV-associated and free miR-30d to cause overexpression of genes involved in embryonic adhesion processes, including Itb3, Itga7 and Cdh5. Furthermore, supplementing murine embryos with miR-30d significantly improved embryo adhesion, suggesting that external miRNAs may have a functional role as transcriptomic modifiers of preimplantation embryos. Based on profiling of miRNAs in endometrial fluid, maternally-derived miRNAs are present within EVs in the uterine microenvironment. The internalization of maternally-derived exosomes has been visualized, but the mechanism by which miR-30d becomes incorporated into exosomes remains unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanism of hsa-miR-30d transfer from human endometrial epithelial cells (hEECs) to the interior of exosomes and eventually to early-stage blastocysts, using a mir-30d knockout murine mode.

Project description:For androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC), the current treatment is limited and the prognosis is poor. We previously found miR-200b could inhibit androgen independent proliferation ability of prostate cancer cells, but the mechanism is unclear. MiRNAs plays their role by blocking translation through base-pairing with complementary mRNA and by promoting degradation of target mRNA. Unraveling the miRNA translational silencing network remains a challenge in part because a single miRNA can inhibit multiple mRNA targets and because a single mRNA can be regulated by several distinct miRNAs that act cooperatively. However, proteomics methods provide us useful tools to unravel the target genes network. This study identified the target genes of miR-200b in AIPC. It helps us to understand the mechanism of AIPC and applies several new candidate targets of AIPC treatment.
