Project description:We examined the relationship between miRNA expression and the sensitivity of CCA cells to Gem. Two intrahepatic CCA cell lines, HuH28 and HuCCT1 were used. HuCCT1 cells were more sensitive to Gem than were HuH28 cells. The miRNA expression profiles of HuH28 and HuCCT1 were determined by microarray analysis. Eighteen miRNAs were differentially expressed whose ratios over ± 2log2 between HuH28 and HuCCT1. Among these 18 miRNAs, ectopic overexpression of each of three downregulated miRNAs in HuH28 (miR-29b, miR-205, miR-221) restored Gem sensitivity to HuH28. Suppression of one upregulated miRNA in HuH28, miR-125a-5p, inhibited HuH28 cell proliferation independently to Gem treatment. Cell lines and cultures Two human intrahepatic CCA cell lines, HuCCT1 and HuH28, were purchased from Japan Health Science Research Resources Bank (Osaka, Japan). Each cell line was cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Invitrogen, Life Technologies Corp., CA, USA) that contained 10% fetal bovine serum (Nichirei Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan) and in humidified conditions at 37 ˚C and 5% CO2. Antibiotics were not added to the culture medium when cells were prepared for transfection with miRNA mimics or oligonucleotides. Gem treatment Gem hydrochloride was purchased from Wako (Osaka, Japan). A stock solution was prepared at 1 mmol/L (1 x 10-3 M) and was further diluted to anyone of several different final working concentrations from 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-7 M with cell culture medium that lacked antibiotics. Transfection of miRNA mimics, antisense oligonucleotides, or siRNA for miRNA target genes were performed 24 hr before the Gem treatment. All assays were conducted 72 hr after Gem treatment.

Project description:Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of distal cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a challenge with clinical consequences. Both are lethal malignancies with distinct therapeutic options. This study aimed to identify a circulating microRNA (miRNA) signature to diagnose and discriminate distal CCA from PDAC. Methods: In the discovery phase, microarray profiling of 752 miRNAs was performed on plasma samples of seven patients with distal CCA and seven age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Significant candidate miRNAs were selected for validation based on predefined selection criteria. In the validation phase, these miRNAs were analyzed by RT-qPCR in an independent cohort of healthy controls (n=32), benign periampullary disease (n=20), distal CCA (n=24), and age- sex- and stage-matched PDAC (n=24). Data were normalized to a combination of two reference genes. The optimal diagnostic combination of miRNAs was determined by logistic regression. Sensitivity and specificity were evaluated by ROC curves and AUC values. Results: In the discovery phase, 19 miRNAs were significantly deregulated in patients with distal CCA compared to healthy controls. In the validation phase, 12 candidate miRNAs were selected for validation by RT-qPCR based on pre-defined selection criteria. A two-miRNA panel of downregulated miR-16 and upregulated miR-877 was able accurately distinguish distal CCA from benign disease as well as from PDAC. Conclusion: This is the first study to identify a combined panel of plasma miRNAs which shows promising diagnostic capability to serve as distal CCA signature with the potential to discriminate distal CCA from PDAC.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved ∼22 nt small noncoding RNAs that bind partially complementary sequences in target transcripts. MicroRNAs regulate both translation and transcript stability, and play important roles in development, cellular homeostasis, and disease. There are limited approaches available to agnostically identify microRNA targets transcriptome-wide, and methods using miRNA mimics, which in principle identify direct miRNA:transcript pairs, have low sensitivity and specificity. Here, we describe a novel method to identify microRNA targets using miR-29b mimics containing 3cyanovinylcarbazole ( CNV K), a photolabile nucleoside analog. We demonstrate that biotin-tagged, CNV K-containing miR-29b ( CNV K-miR-29b) mimics are nontoxic in cell culture, associate with endogenous mammalian Argonaute2, arehighly sensitive for known targets and recapitulate endogenous transcript destabilization. Partnering CNV K-miR-29b with ultra-low-input RNA sequencing, we recover ∼40% of known miR-29b targets and findrobust conservation of the focal adhesion and apoptotic target pathways in mouse and mouse. We also identify hundreds of novel targets, including NRAS, HOXA10, and KLF11, with a validation rate of 71% for a subset of 73 novel target transcripts interrogated using a high-throughput luciferase assay. Consistent with previous reports, we show that both endogenous miR-29b and CNV K-miR-29b are trafficked to the nucleus, but find no evidence of nuclear-specific miR-29b transcript binding. This may indicate that miR-29b nuclear sequestration is a regulatory mechanism in itself. We suggest that CNV K-containing small RNA mimics may find applicability in other experimental models

Project description:Chemotherapy resistance is a major clinical issue for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cancer progression and chemoresistance. In this study, we addressed the association between miRNA expression profiles and gemcitabine (Gem) resistance. A Gem sensitive (GS) PDAC cancer cell line, MIA PaCa-2, and its Gem resistant (GR) progeny MIA PaCa-2 GR, was used to determine miRNA expression changes by resistance to Gemcitabine. miRNA-seq was used to determine the miRNA expression profiles in these cell lines. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was performed to determine the biological functions of differentially expressed miRNAs. In total, 1867 miRNAs were detected in the two cell lines. We found that the miRNA expression profiles were different between the GR and its sensitive isogenic parental GS cell line, and certain differentially expressed miRNAs were only detected in one or the other of these PDAC cell lines. A total of 97 (5.2%) miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed between GR and the GS cell lines, of which 65 (3.5%) miRNAs were upregulated and 32 (1.7%) miRNAs were downregulated. The miRNAs with the most significant differential expression in the GR cell line as compared with GS were primarily involved in the following biological processes: cell proliferation, cell migration & invasion, chemo-sensitization, alternative splicing, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. These miRNAs from cell lines were further refined to a subset and were analyzed in patient samples where expression was used to identify patients with recurrent tumors. Taken together, the results suggest that these miRNAs may play important roles in Gem resistance in PDAC. This study’s findings provides a basis for further research in the diagnosis and treatment selection for PDACs with gemcitabine resistance.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections represent a significant global health burden requiring effective therapeutic interventions. This study investigates the antiviral potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) targeting the HBV entry receptor, sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP). Using an interferon (IFN) alpha analog, we highlighted a set of miRNAs induced in treated human hepatocytes. Notably, miR-29b-1-5p was predicted to interact with the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of NTCP. Functional analysis revealed that miR-29b-1-5p directly targeted and inhibited NTCP. Furthermore, miR-29b-1-5p overexpression significantly reduced HBV genome levels in infected hepatocytes. A rescue experiment demonstrated that miR-29b-1-5p antiviral effect was specifically mediated by NTCP targeting. In summary, these findings underscore the therapeutic potential of miR-29b-1-5p against HBV, advocating for the exploration of miRNA-based therapies in the treatment of human viral infections.

Project description:Rationale: Currently, there are no blood-based biomarkers with clinical utility for acute ischemic stroke (IS). microRNAs (miRNAs) show promise as disease markers due to their cell-type specific expression patterns and stability in peripheral blood. Objective: To identify circulating miRNAs associated with acute IS, determine their temporal course up to 90 days post-stroke, and explore their utility as an early diagnostic marker. Methods and Results: We used RNA sequencing to study expression changes of circulating miRNAs in a discovery sample of 20 IS patients and 20 matched healthy control subjects (HCs). We further applied qRT-PCR in independent samples for validation (40 IS patients and 40 matched controls), replication (200 IS patients, 100 HCs), and in 72 patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA). Sampling of patient plasma was done immediately upon hospital arrival. We identified, validated, and replicated three differentially expressed miRNAs, which were upregulated in IS patients compared to both HCs (miR-125a-5p [1.8-fold; P=1.5x10-6], miR-125b-5p [2.5-fold; P=5.6x10-6], and miR-143-3p [4.8-fold; P=7.8x10-9]) and TIA patients (miR-125a-5p: P=0.003, miR-125b-5p: P=0.003, miR-143-3p: P=0.005). Longitudinal analysis of expression levels up to 90 days after stroke revealed a normalization to control levels for miR-125b-5p and miR-143-3p starting at day two, while miR-125a-5p remained elevated. Levels of all three miRNAs depended on platelet numbers in a platelet spike-in experiment, but were unaffected by chemical hypoxia in N2a cells and in experimental stroke models. In a random forest classification, miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p and miR-143-3p differentiated between HCs and IS patients with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90 (sensitivity: 85.6%; specificity: 76.3%), which was superior to multimodal cranial computed tomography obtained for routine diagnostics (sensitivity: 72.5%) and previously reported biomarkers of acute IS (neuron specific enolase: AUC=0.69, interleukin 6: AUC=0.82). Conclusions: A set of circulating miRNAs (miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-143-3p) associates with acute IS and might have clinical utility as an early diagnostic marker.

Project description:Elite controllers maintain HIV-1 viral loads below the limit of detection. The mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are poorly understood. As microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators of gene expression and some of them modulate HIV infection, we have studied the miRNA profile in plasma from HIV elite controllers and chronically infected individuals and compared against healthy donors. Several miRNAs correlate with CD4+ T cell count or with the known time of infection. No significant differences were observed between elite controllers and healthy donors; however, 16 miRNAs were different in the plasma of chronic infected versus healthy donors. In addition, levels of hsa-miR-29b-3p, hsa-miR-33a-5p and hsa-miR-146a-5p were higher in plasma from elite controllers than chronic infected and hsa-miR-29b-3p and hsa-miR-33a-5p overexpression significantly reduced the viral production in MT2 cells. Therefore, levels of circulating miRNAs might be of diagnostic and/or prognostic value for HIV infection. Additionally, hsa-miR-29b-3p and miR-33a-5p may be used in therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Background/Objective: Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is widely used in miRNA expression studies on cancer. To compensate for the analytical variability produced by the multiple steps of the method, relative quantification of the measured miRNAs is required, which is based on normalization to endogenous reference genes. A literature search in PubMed revealed that no study has been performed so far on reference miRNAs for normalization of miRNA expression in urothelial carcinoma. The aim of this study was to identify suitable reference genes for miRNA expression studies by RT-qPCR in urothelial carcinoma. Methods: Candidate reference miRNAs were selected from 24 papillary urothelial carcinoma and normal bladder tissue samples by miRNA microarrays. The usefulness of these candidate reference miRNAs together with the commonly for normalization purposes used small nuclear RNAs RNU6B, RNU48, and Z30 were thereafter validated by RT-qPCR in 58 tissue samples and analyzed by the algorithms geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper. Principal Findings: Based on the miRNA microarray data, a total of 16 miRNAs were identified as putative reference genes. After validation by RT-qPCR, miR-101, miR-125a-5p, miR-148b, miR-151-3p, miR-151-5p, miR-181a, miR-181b miR-29c, miR-324-3p, miR-424, miR-874, RNU6B, RNU48, and Z30 were used for geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper analyses that gave different combinations of recommended reference genes for normalization. Conclusions: The present study provided the first systematic analysis for identifying suitable reference miRNAs for miRNA expression studies of urothelial carcinoma by RT-qPCR. Different combinations of reference genes resulted in reliable expression data for both strongly and less strongly altered miRNAs. Notably, RNU6B, which is the most frequently used reference gene for miRNA studies, gave inaccurate normalization. The combination of four (miR-125a-5p, miR-148b, miR-151-3p, and miR-151-5p) or three (miR-148b, miR-874, miR-181b) miRNA reference genes is recommended for normalization. Candidate reference miRNAs (for RT-qPCR analysis) were selected from 24 papillary urothelial carcinoma and normal bladder tissue samples by miRNA microarrays.
