MicroRNA signatures of Insulin-producing cells differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells

ABSTRACT: The expression profile of miRNAs in MSCs and differentiated Insulin-producing cells was examined using RNA-seq technology. The expression of 411 miRNAs was observed, which we classified into three groups according to expression levels in differentiated Insulin-producing cells relative to that in MSCs: group I contained 107 miRNAs with an increased level of expression, group II contained 250 miRNAs that showed no change in expression and group III contained 54 miRNAs with decreased levels of expression.

Project description:Background: Studies suggested that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have intrinsic neurogenic potential and can be differentiated into neural stem cell/ neural progenitor cells (NPCs) under specific microenvironment. Manipulation of growth factors is one of the popular method to achieve trans-lineage differentiation of MSCs. Synergistic effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (bFGF) have been widely identified as basic requirement for neural differentiation to take place. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) also known as somatomedin C is an important growth promoting protein during embryonic development which control numerous cellular responses and biological systems. Our recent study has found that the combination of EGF, bFGF and IGF-1 could significantly improved the growth and survivability of MSCs-derived NPCs. Therefore, to understand the genomic mechanism underlying the differentiation in vitro, we have studied the miRNAs profile of MSCs-derived NPCs under IGF-1 influenced conditioned microenvironments. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of IGF-1 in trans-lineage differentiation of MSCs, we have induced MSCs into neural lineage in 3 groups; Group A (positive control) - EGF+bFGF, Group B (Treatment) - EGF+bFGF+IGF-1, and Group C (negative control/ untreated). To unravel the role of regulatory miRNAs involved in the early differentiation, we have performed detailed miRNA profiling for MSCs-derived NPCs at three time intervals (day 1, day 3 and day 5). The data has explored crucial miRNAs involved in early differentiation of MSCs into NPCs. Stage specific MSCs-derived NPCs at Passage 1 were collected for total RNA extraction at three time-points (D1, D3 and D5) and hybridization on Affymetrix miRNA geneChip 2.0 arrays. Each experiment were repeated three times independently (Exp 1, Exp 2 and Exp 3). Group A served as positive control (EGF+bFGF), Group B as treatment (EGF+bFGF+IGF-1) and Group C without growth factor as negative control.
