Project description:Circulating extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) have great promise as novel clinically plasma-based biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. knowledge of the difference or association between these different sources of exRNAs is very limited. We performed a sequential physical and biochemical precipitation to receive 4 plasma fractions (platelets and cell debris, Thrombin-treated fraction, extracellular vesicles and supernatant) from each plasma sample. After total RNA extraction, we made ligation-free libraries and performed RNA-seq to evaluate full spectrum of RNA abundance in each fraction. All RNAs were included without size selection during the library preparation. We utilized a successive stepwise alignment strategy to map the RNA sequences to different RNA categories. We found that each plasma fraction had its own unique distribution of RNA species. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed similarity in samples with same fraction and significant differences between different fractions. In addition, we also observed abundance difference of unique transcript. Furthermore, a considerable proportion of exogenous RNAs and novel predicted miRNAs in all plasma fractions were detected. These results demonstrate that thorough inspection of all plasma fractions is necessary for exRNA-based biomarker study and appropriate sampling processes is needed for illustrating the complexity of plasma-based EVs study.

Project description:Human milk (breastmilk) is much more than nutrition for the infant, containing an array of regulatory agents with immunoprotective and developmental functions. Amongst those, microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified, with their properties, roles, origin and distribution in breastmilk as well as in the mammary gland being still undetermined. In this study, we examined the miRNA profile of different fractions of human milk (cells and lipids) using the OpenArray system (Applied Biosystems, 770 miRNA species measured per sample) and compared it with maternal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and plasma. Although PBMCs were the richest group in miRNA species, plasma showed very low expression pattern. Thus, the human milk fractions (cells, lipid) and skim milk (not being investigated in this study) were found to conserve higher levels of miRNAs than blood in general. Specifically, human milk cell miRNA quantity was found relatively close to PBMCs, and higher than milk lipids. Correlation and clustering analyses indicated that miRNA expression and types of milk cells were highly similar to those in lipids. Milk miRNAs showed a slight correlation to PBMCs, so PBMCs potentially are not contributing to milk miRNAs. Plasma was different to all other three groups in miRNA content and expression pattern. Further, two infant formulae (a plant-based and a cow milk-based) were compared to human milk and found to contain significantly fewer miRNA species than human milk cells and lipids (p>0.001). Taken together with previous studies on miRNAs, our findings demonstrate that human milk is one of the richest sources of miRNAs among human body fluids. As a non-invasive and plentiful source of miRNAs, human milk could be used as a disease biomarker for the mammary gland, with potential in assessing lactation performance. Finally, gene target and pathways analyses identified several target mRNAs regulated by miRNAs found to be abundant in breastmilk. Given the recently identified stability and function of food-derived miRNAs in regulating mammalian genes, we propose that breastmilk is a rich source of miRNA ingested by the infant during the first months of life, and which potentially contribute to early infant development. 10 exclusively breastfeeding dyads were recruited. 10 whole milk and 10 whole blood samples were collected and fractionated to obtain 10 milk cells, 10 milk lipid, 10 mononeucleoted blood cells (PBMCs), and 10 plasma. In addition to the above 40 samples, 2 infant formula were profiled. 4 different extraction kits were used, miRNeasy mini Kit for human milk cell and PBMC samples. miRCURY RNA Isolation-Biofluids Kit for human milk lipid samples and both infant formulae. mirVana PARIS Kit for plasma samples. NanoDrop 2000 and Bioanalyzer 2100 were used to determine concentration and purity of the extracted miRNA from all samples (n=42). miRNA OpenArray panel system (Life Technologies, CA, USA) was used to profile 754 human mature miRNAs in samples. RNU48, RNU44 and U6 rRNA were used as housekeeping controls for normalisation. ath-miR159a was used as a negative control for human samples. GeneGO and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis were used to determine biological pathways. Please note that normalization of miRNAs was done in R but without generating deltaCT values, thus [1] only the list of normalized miRNA with Ct vlaue between 8 and 29 and that detected in at least 4 samples out of 10 analysed in each group is provided ('normalized_miRNAs_list.txt') [2] the sample data tables contain raw data.

Project description:Proteases present in milk are heat-sensitive, and their activities increase or decrease depending on the intensity of the thermal treatment applied. The thermal effects on the protease activity are well-known for bovine milk but poorly understood for ovine and caprine milk. This study aimed to determine the nonspecific and specific protease activities in casein and whey fractions isolated from raw bovine, ovine and caprine milk collected in early lactation, and to determine the effects of low-temperature, long-time (63°C for 30 min) and high-temperature, short-time (85°C for 5 min) treatments on protease activities within each milk fraction.

Project description:Cells secrete extracellular RNA (exRNA) to their surrounding environment and exRNA has been found in many body fluids such as blood, breast milk and cerebrospinal fluid. However, there are conflicting results regarding the nature of exRNA. Here, we have separated two distinct exRNA profiles released by mast cells, here termed high-density (HD) and low-density (LD) exRNA. The exRNA in both fractions was characterized by microarray and next-generation sequencing. Both exRNA fractions contained mRNA and miRNA, and the mRNAs in the LD exRNA correlated closely with the cellular mRNA, whereas the HD mRNA did not. Furthermore, the HD exRNA was enriched in lincRNA, antisense RNA, vault RNA, snoRNA, and snRNA with little or no evidence of full-length 18S and 28S rRNA. The LD exRNA was enriched in mitochondrial rRNA, mitochondrial tRNA, tRNA, piRNA, Y RNA, and full-length 18S and 28S rRNA. The proteomes of the HD and LD exRNA-containing fractions were determined with LC-MS/MS and analysed with Gene Ontology term finder, which showed that both proteomes were associated with the term extracellular vesicles and electron microscopy suggests that at least a part of the exRNA is associated with exosome-like extracellular vesicles. Additionally, the proteins in the HD fractions tended to be associated with the nucleus and ribosomes, whereas the LD fraction proteome tended to be associated with the mitochondrion. We show that the two exRNA signatures released by a single cell type can be separated by floatation on a density gradient. These results show that cells can release multiple types of exRNA with substantial differences in RNA species content. This is important for any future studies determining the nature and function of exRNA released from different cells under different conditions.

Project description:Studies of normal human mammary gland development and function have mostly relied on cell culture, limited surgical specimens, and rodent models. Although RNA extracted from human milk has been used to assay the mammary transcriptome non-invasively, the transcriptome derived from the milk fat layer has not been compared with the mammary-derived transcriptome nor have sources of RNA been quantified in milk. In this study the effects of milk collection and processing on RNA quality and origin were assessed in humans and rhesus macaques. Total RNA in milk was quantitated in acridine orange-stained milk using an automated whole slide scanner and custom-built Globulator software. Total RNA extracted from milk fat, cells in milk, and mammary biopsies of lactating rhesus macaques were compared using RNA sequencing and analysis. Compared with human milk, milk from macaques contained similar amounts of RNA-containing cytoplasmic crescents, but more cells. Total RNA extracted from milk fractions was also evaluated for factors that affect RNA quality. Degradation of RNA extracted from human milk fat was positively correlated with geographic distance from collection site, storage time, and sample type. There were no differences in RNA degradation in macaque milk collected after 10 min or 4 hr accumulation, suggesting that degradation of RNA extracted from milk fat may not occur in the mammary gland. Using RNA-Seq, RNA extracted from macaque milk fat and cells in milk more accurately represented RNA from mammary epithelial cells (cells that produce milk) than did RNA from mammary tissue. Mammary epithelium-specific transcripts were more abundant in macaque milk fat whereas adipose or stroma-specific transcripts were more abundant in mammary tissue. Functional analyses confirmed the validity of milk as a source of RNA from mammary epithelial cells. Analysis of highly abundant putative microRNAs in macaque milk fat revealed a potentially novel non-coding RNA species that is conserved in humans. RNA extracted from the milk fat during lactation accurately portrayed the RNA profile of milk-producing mammary epithelial cells. However, this sample type clearly requires protocols that minimize RNA degradation. Transcript profiles from milk cells, milk fat, and mammary tissue from 6 lactating rhesus macaques at 30 and 90 days lactation; 34 samples run in triplicate

Project description:In this study transcriptional start sites (TSS) for the phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii 3937 were determined based on differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) as previously described (Sharma and Vogel, 2014). RNAs from E-MTAB-541 (Jiang et al. 2015) were pooled into four samples S1 to S4 reflecting a variety of environmental conditions. Each of them resulted in a combination of stress conditions (pH, NaCl, H2O2) and growth conditions: exponential phase with stress (S1), exponential phase without stress (S2), stationary phase with stress (S3), stationary phase without stress (S4). Those samples were then supplied to Vertis Biotechnologie AG for TEX treatment and Illumina sequencing. Briefly, ribosomal RNA molecules were depleted from the total RNA samples using the Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit for bacteria (Epicentre). From the rRNA depleted RNA samples, the small RNA fractions <200 nt were separated from the large fractions using the RNeasy MinElute Cleanup Kit (Qiagen). TSS cDNA libraries were generated from the rRNA depleted large RNA fractions. First, the samples were fragmented using RNase III. Samples were then poly(A)-tailed using poly(A) polymerase, and split into two halves. One half was treated with Terminator exonuclease (+TEX, Epicentre), while the other one was left untreated (-TEX). 5'PPP structures were then converted into 5'P ends using RNA 5' Polyphosphatase (5'PP, Epicentre). Afterwards, an RNA adapter was ligated to the 5'P of the RNA. First-strand cDNA synthesis was performed using an oligo(dT)-adapter primer and the M-MLV reverse transcriptase. The resulting cDNAs were PCR-amplified using a high fidelity DNA polymerase, and purified using the Agencourt AMPure XP kit (Beckman Coulter Genomics). The cDNA pools were then sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 system using 60 bp read length and a single-end, strand-specific protocol. Sequencing reads were trimmed, and both polyA and adapters removed.

Project description:Very little is known about miRNAs found in breastmilk cells, which also reflect the cells of the lactating mammary epithelium. Our hypothesis is that breastmilk cells are richer in miRNA compared to other milk fractions, such as skim milk. Further, the effects of milk removal by the infant on milk cell miRNA content and/or composition have not been investigated. Breastmilk cells conserved higher miRNA content than previously published lipid and skim fractions of breastmilk as well as other known sources of miRNA in humans. Specifically, 1,467 known mature miRNAs were identified and a further 1996 novel miRNAs, of which 89 were highly expressed. As previously shown, post-feed milk contained more cells than pre-feed milk, and the same was observed for miRNA content. However, no statistically significant difference was found in the expression of the total known and novel miRNAs between pre- and post-feed milk (p=0.76), although 27 known miRNAs and 1 novel miRNA were higher expressed in post-feed milk. As expected, samples richer in viable cells contained more known miRNAs (p = 0.01). Functional analysis of the top 10 most highly expressed known miRNAs showed that they may be potentially involved in crucial roles for the infant, including body fluid balance, thirst, appetite, immune responses, and development. In conclusion, breastmilk is highly rich in miRNA which may play important functions in the breastfed infant and the lactating breast. Milk removal by the infant can influence the total miRNA content of breastmilk, similar to its cell and fat content, but the miRNA composition remains constant
