Project description:miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs frequently altered in human malignancies. They regulate protein-coding gene expression by mediating mRNA degradation and/or repressing translation via the association with the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated region (3M-bM-^@M-^Y UTR) of the mRNAs. Aberrant miRNA expression can influence several gene networks and pathways implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis formation. To reveal miRNAs involved in breast cancer progression we investigated miRNA expression in 77 ductal breast carcinoma biopsies and 17 mammoplasties by microarray analysis. 16 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified comparing patients with or without disease relapse within 72 months from surgery. We have performed a microarray miRNA expression analysis on 77 ductal breast carcinoma biopsies and 17 normal tissues from mammoplastic reductions using the Human Agilent platform (V2). 77 frozen tumor specimens were selected from the Tumor Bank of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Turin. They were obtained from patients who underwent primary surgical treatment between 1988 and 2001 at a median age of 54 years (25-82). Eligibility criteria were the following: diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, all T and N stages, no distant metastasis at diagnosis (M0), complete clinical-pathological data and updated follow up. All patients were treated with radical modified mastectomy or quadrantectomy and axillary dissection plus breast irradiation. As normal breast controls 17 frozen mammoplastic reductions (EPFL, Lausanne) were included in the screening. Appropriate ethical approval was obtained for this study.

Project description:Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial metabolic syndrome defined by the rapid loss of skeletal muscle mass and the loss of fat mass. Up 80% of cancer patients at the late stage with cachexia suffer from progressive atrophy of adipose tissue. Unlike studies on skeletal muscle wasting, there is limited research on fat loss in cachexia. It was noted that most patients suffer from fat loss as cancer progress. Fat loss precedes muscle loss, is associated with shorter survival, and is variable to timing and intensity in various cancer populations. Increased lipolysis may be the leading cause of fat loss in cancer cachexia. miRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs of 19~25 nucleotides that regulate gene silencing by interacting with the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNA to cause mRNA degradation and translational repression. miRNAs play multifaceted roles in pancreatic cancer proliferation, survival, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Aberrant expression of miRNA in circulating exosomes may play potential roles in modulating fat loss in cancer cachexia. We identified 2 miRNAs, miR-16 and miR-29, which have 2-fold higher expression existed in at PDAC cells. To explore which genes in adipogenesis and lipolysis were directly affected by miR-16-5p or/and miR-29a-3p, we analyzed the targets which were down-regulated in both miR-16-5p and miR-29a-3p-transfected 3T3-L1 cells by mass analysis.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) are well known to target 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTR) in mRNAs to silence gene expression at post-transcriptional levels. Multiple reports have also indicated the capability of miRNAs to target protein-coding sequences (CDS); however, miRNAs have been generally believed to function in a similar mechanism(s) regardless of the location of their action sites. We herein report a class of miRNA recognition elements (MREs) that exclusively function in CDS regions in humans. Through functional and mechanistic characterization of these “unusual” MREs, we demonstrate that CDS-targeted miRNAs require extensive base pairings in the 3’ side rather than the 5’ seed; cause gene silencing in an Argonaute-dependent, but GW182-independent manner; and repress translation by inducing transient ribosome stalling instead of mRNA destabilization. These findings reveal distinct mechanisms and functional consequences for miRNAs to target CDS versus 3’UTR and suggest that CDS-targeted miRNAs may enlist a translational quality control (QC)-related mechanism to regulate translation in mammalian cells.

Project description: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. Keywords: cell type comparison

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with 19-25 nucleotides in length, which can inhibit the translation or induce the destabilization and/or degradation of their mRNA targets, usually by binding in an incomplete manner to the 3`untranslated region (3`UTR) of their respective targets. We were interested in miRNAs that are regulated during G-CSF induced myeloid differentiation.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have important roles in gene regulation. Dysregulation of miRNAs has been associated with tumorigenesis. Recent studies suggest miR-193b is a tumor suppressor gene. In a previous study, we reported that miR-193b represses cell proliferation and regulates cyclin D1 (CCND1) in melanoma. Now we demonstrate that miR-193b regulates myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1) in melanoma cells. miRNA microarray profiling revealed the miR-193b level in malignant melanomas was significantly downregulated compared to benign nevi, while a tissue microarray demonstrated overexpression of Mcl-1 in malignant melanoma. The Mcl-1 expressions were inversely correlated with the miR-193b levels in melanoma tissue samples, suggesting a potential regulatory role of miR-193b. Overexpression of miR-193b repressed Mcl-1 in melanoma cell lines. It is well known that Mcl-1 knockdown confers cell sensitivity to ABT-737, a small molecular inhibitor of Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Bcl-w. We found miR-193b, through repressing Mcl-1 expression, could also sensitize melanoma cells that were refractory to ABT-737. Furthermore, miR-193b directly regulates Mcl-1 by targeting the 3â untranslated region (3âUTR) of Mcl-1 mRNA. Interestingly, miR-193b may recognize sequences on the 3âUTR that do not base pair with its seed region. In conclusion, our study suggests the downregulation of miR-193b could be an early event during melanoma progression, and demonstrates miR-193b directly regulates Mcl-1 by targeting both seed and seedless sequences of the 3â UTR. 15 primary melanoma samples, 8 metastatic melanomas and 8 benign nevi samples were profiled on Agilent miRNA array platform

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in literally all cellular processes. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (Ago) proteins and guide them to specific target sites located in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs leading to translational repression and deadenylation-induced mRNA degradation. Most miRNAs are processed from hairpin-structured precursors by the consecutive action of the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer. However, processing of miR-451 is Dicer-independent and cleavage is mediated by the endonuclease Ago2. Here we have characterized miR-451 sequence and structure requirements for processing as well as sorting of miRNAs into different Ago proteins. Pre-miR-451 appears to be optimized for Ago2 cleavage and changes result in reduced processing. In addition, we show that the mature miR-451 only associates with Ago2 suggesting that mature miRNAs are not exchanged between different members of the Ago protein family. Based on cloning and deep sequencing of endogenous miRNAs associated with Ago1-3, we do not find evidence for miRNA sorting in human cells. However, Ago identity appears to influence the length of some miRNAs, while others remain unaffected. Examination of miRNAs associated with endogenous human Ago1-4 in HeLa cells
