Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (~22 nucleotides) regulatory RNAs that can modulate gene expression and are aberrantly expressed in many diseases including cancer. We report the results of a systems analysis of miRNA regulation in ovarian cancer. We found that 33 miRNAs are up-regulated and 9 down-regulated in CEPI relative to OSE (p<0.01, ≥2 fold change). Of these, 12 were previously annotated miRNAs (Sanger miRBase) of which 9 are up-regulated and 3 are down-regulated in CEPI relative to OSE. Current models predict that changes in levels of miRNAs will be inversely correlated with changes in the levels of targeted mRNAs due to miRNA regulation. This predicted inverse correlation held for only ~9% of predicted target mRNAs. Computational analyses indicate the unexpected low inverse correlation may be at least partially explained by variation in the number of miRNA binding sites within the 3’ UTRs of targeted mRNAs and by miRNA-mediated changes in levels of transcription factors that can exert overriding trans-regulatory controls on target loci. miRNAs were collected from three laser captured microdissected ovarian cancer epithelial (CEPI) samples. The miRNA expression pattern was compared with three healthy ovarian surface epithelia samples as controls using a custom-manufactured Affymetrix GeneChip® array.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (~22 nucleotides) regulatory RNAs that can modulate gene expression and are aberrantly expressed in many diseases including cancer. Previous studies have shown that miRNAs inhibit the translation and facilitate the degradation of their targeted mRNAs making them attractive candidates for use in cancer therapy. However, the potential clinical utility of miRNAs in cancer therapy rests heavily upon our ability to understand and accurately predict the consequences of fluctuations in levels of miRNAs within the context of complex tumor cells. To evaluate the predictive power of current models, levels of miRNAs and their targeted messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were measured in laser captured micro-dissected (LCM) ovarian cancer epithelial cells (CEPI) and compared with levels present in ovarian surface epithelial cells (OSE). We found that the predicted inverse correlation between changes in levels of miRNAs and levels of their mRNA targets held for only ~6-11% of predicted target mRNAs. Our results underscore the complexities of miRNA-mediated regulation in vivo and caution against the widespread clinical application of miRNAs and miRNA inhibitors until the basis of these complexities is more fully understood.

The mRNA expression pattern was compared between the miR-7 treated cells and the negative control treated cells, and separately between the miR-128 treated cells and the negative control treated cells using the Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 3' expression array.

Project description:Background: The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC), clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCC) and ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). Selected miRNAs were evaluated for association with clinical parameters including survival, and miRNA/mRNA interactions were mapped. Results: Differentially expressed miRNAs between HGSC, CCC and OSE were identified, of which 18 were validated (p<0.01) using RT-qPCR in an extended cohort. Compared with OSE, miR-205-5p was the most overexpressed miRNA in HGSC. miR-200 family members and miR-182-5p were the most overexpressed in HGSC and CCC compared with OSE, whereas miR-383 was the most underexpressed. miR-509-3-5p, miR-509-5p, miR-509-3p and miR-510 were among the strongest differentiators between HGSC and CCC, all being significantly overexpressed in CCC compared with HGSC. High miR-200c-3p expression was associated with poor progression-free (p=0.031) and overall (p=0.026) survival in HGSC. Interacting miRNAs and mRNA targets, including those of a TP53-related pathway presented previously, were identified in HGSC. Conclusions: Several miRNAs are overexpressed in HGSC and CCC compared with OSE, including the miR-200 family, among which miR-200c-3p is associated with survival in HGSC. A set of miRNAs differentiates CCC from HGSC, of which miR-509-3-5p and miR-509-5p are the strongest classifiers. Several interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs in HGSC were mapped. Methods: Differences in miRNA expression between HGSC, CCC and OSE scrapings were analyzed by global miRNA expression profiling (Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 2.0 Arrays, n=30), validated by RT-qPCR (n=63), and evaluated for associations with clinical parameters. For HGSC, differentially expressed miRNAs were linked to differentially expressed mRNAs identified previously (GSE36668).

Project description:We performed a global analysis of both miRNAs and mRNAs expression across sixteen human cell lines and extracted negatively correlated pairs of miRNA and mRNA which indicate miRNA-target relationship. The many of known-target of miR-124a showed negative correlation, suggesting our analysis were valid. We further extracted physically relevant miRNA-target gene pairs, applying computational target prediction algorism with inverse correlations of miRNA and mRNA expression. Furthermore, Gene Ontology-based annotation and functional enrichment analysis of the extracted miRNA-target gene pairs indicated putative functions of miRNAs. Keywords: Cell type comparison

Project description:As the fetal heart develops, cardiomyocyte proliferation potential decreases while fatty acid oxidative capacity increases, a highly regulated transition known as cardiac maturation. Small noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), contribute to the establishment and control of tissue-specific transcriptional programs. However, small RNA expression dynamics and genome wide miRNA regulatory networks controlling maturation of the human fetal heart remain poorly understood. Transcriptome profiling of small RNAs revealed the temporal expression patterns of miRNA, piRNA, circRNA, snoRNA, snRNA and tRNA in the developing human heart between 8 and 19 weeks of gestation. Our analysis revealed that miRNAs were the most dynamically expressed small RNA species throughout mid-gestation. Cross-referencing differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs predicted 6,200 mRNA targets, 2134 of which were upregulated and 4066 downregulated as gestation progresses. Moreover, we found that downregulated targets of upregulated miRNAs predominantly control cell cycle progression, while upregulated targets of downregulated miRNAs are linked to energy sensing and oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, integration of miRNA and mRNA profiles with proteomes and reporter metabolites revealed that proteins encoded in mRNA targets, and their associated metabolites, mediate fatty acid oxidation and are enriched as the heart develops.This study revealed the small RNAome of the maturing human fetal heart. Furthermore, our findings suggest that coordinated activation and repression of miRNA expression throughout mid-gestation is essential to establish a dynamic miRNA-mRNA-protein network that decreases cardiomyocyte proliferation potential while increasing the oxidative capacity of the maturing human fetal heart.

Project description:Background: Expression level of many genes shows abundant natural variation in human populations. The variations in gene expression are believed to contribute to phenotypic differences. Emerging evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are one of the key regulators of gene expression. However, past studies have focused on the miRNA target genes and use loss- or gain-of-function approach that may not reflect natural association between miRNA and mRNAs. Methodology/Principal Findings: To examine miRNA regulatory effect on global gene expression under endogenous condition, we performed pair-wise correlation coefficient analysis on expression levels of 366 miRNAs and 14,174 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in 90 immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines, and observed significant correlations between the two species of RNA transcripts. We identified a total of 7,207 significantly correlated miRNA-mRNA pairs (false discovery rate q <0.01). Of those, 4,085 pairs showed positive correlations while 3,122 pairs showed negative correlations. Gene ontology analyses on the miRNA-correlated genes revealed significant enrichments in several biological pathways related to cell cycle, cell communication and signal transduction. Individually, each of three miRNAs (miR-331, -98 and -33b) demonstrated significant correlation with the genes in cell cycle-related biological processes, which is consistent with important role of miRNAs in cell cycle regulation. Surprisingly, most miRNA-correlated genes were not direct targets predicted by mRNA target prediction program, TargetScan, suggesting indirect endogenous relationship between miRNAs and their correlated mRNAs. Conclusions/Significance: This study demonstrates feasibility of using naturally expressed transcript profiles to identify endogenous correlation between miRNA and miRNA. By applying this genome-wide approach, we have identified thousands of miRNA-correlated genes and revealed potential role of miRNAs in several important cellular functions. The study results along with accompanying data sets will provide a wealth of high-throughput data to further evaluate the miRNA-regulated genes and eventually in phenotypic variations of human populations.
