ABSTRACT: Detection of senescence-associated miRNAs differentially transcribed during early (D7) and late stages (D21) of human dermal fibroblast (HDF) senescence
Project description:Analysis of the impacto of dTAT treatment on primary human dermal flibroblast at the gene expression level. Results show that dTAT cytosolic penetration has a minimal impact on mRNA expression and that cells rapidly recover from treatment with dTAT. Primary Human dermal Fibroblast (HDF) were treated with dTAT (5µM) for 1h. Total RNA was harvested from HDF cells immediately, 1h or 24h after treatment.
Project description:To investigate the contribution of fibroblast-derived extracellular matrices (ECMs) to the resistance to targeted therapies in BRAF-mutated melanoma cells, we generated native-like 3D ECMs from human primary fibroblasts obtained from healthy individuals or melanoma patients. Cell-derived matrices from human dermal fibroblasts (HDF), skin melanoma associated fibroblasts (MAF) and two different lymph node fibroblast reticular cells (FRC) were denuded of cells and their composition was analyzed by mass spectrometry.
Project description:Recent work has identified markers of fibroblast heterogeneity in human dermis. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) promotes fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation, characterised by the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Human dermal fibroblasts (hDF), treated with TGF-β1, were assayed for differentiation, proliferation and cell shape using the Operetta imaging system. One donor hDF, derived from female 64-year-old breast skin, expressed decreased levels of α-SMA protein. The gene expression profile of this donor hDF was determined using the Agilent microarray system. Four gene candidates (Asporin, ASPN; C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1, CXCL1; Insulin-like growth factor 1, IGF1; and Wnt family member 4, WNT4) were chosen based on expression values and validated by TaqMan qPCR. Successful knockdown of IGF1 and WNT4 was achieved using MISSION shRNA-based lentiviral treatment. Fibroblast IGF1 knockdown (shIGF1) increased α-SMA mRNA and protein expression; no effect was seen with fibroblast WNT4 knockdown (shWNT4). Here I have characterised hDF phenotype and gene expression with regard to population heterogeneity. This work highlights the role of IGF-1 signalling on α-SMA expression and dermal fibroblast fate. Targeting IGF-1 signalling could provide therapeutic benefit for skin disorders involving aberrant wound healing and excessive fibrosis.
Project description:The effect at long term (15 days) of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), TGFβ or TGFβ + anti-Lif stimulation on the human primary dermal fibroblast (hDF) transcriptome was analyzed by whole genome microarray expression profiling.
Project description:The effect at short term (48 hours) of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), TGFβ or TGFβ + anti-Lif stimulation on the human primary dermal fibroblast (hDF) transcriptome was analyzed by whole genome microarray expression profiling.
Project description:Analysis of the impact of D-dTAT treatment on primary human dermal flibroblast (HDF) and immortalized fibroblast cells (MCH58) at the transcriptome level. Results show that D-dTAT cytosolic penetration dysregulation of mRNA expression compared to dfTAT treated and untreated cells.
Project description:The regeneration of the airway mucociliary epithelium involves several sequential events including migration, proliferation, polarization and final differentiation (i.e ciliogenesis). The airway mucociliary epithelium is consituted of three main cell types : ciliated cells, secretory cells and basal cells. We used microRNA microrrays to investigate the signature of microRNA during the four step of regeneration of the airway epithelium. Four time points (ALI-D0, ALI-D7, ALI-D14, ALI-D21) of regeneration of the airway epithelium for 3 donors.
Project description:We derived cell lines from the human pancreatic niche from different sites during different temporal stages of fetal development when beta cells are differentiating and maturing. This screen uncovered differences between the human pancreatic niche at fetal week 17.5 head of pancreas(Wk17.5h) and 20.1 doudeum (Wk 20.1) and control cell line human dermal fibroblast(HDF), illustrating a temporally changing, developmentally significant microenvironment.
Project description:miRNA profiling of human H9-derived neural stem cells (H9-NSCs) comparing control human adult dermal fibroblasts (hDFs), SOX2-transduced human induced neural stem cells (hDF-iNSC (SOX2)), SOX2/HMGA2-transduced human induced neural stem cells (hDF-iNSC (SOX2/HMGA2)). Goal was to determine the global miRNA expression between the groups. H9-NSC vs hDF vs hDF-iNSC(SOX2) vs hDF-iNSC(SOX2/HMGA2)
Project description:During the progress of senescence, cells sequentially acquire diverse senescent phenotypes together with several gene reprogramming steps. It is still unclear what will be the key regulator in charge of collective gene expression changes at the initial senescent reprogramming. In this study, we show that suppression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)-mediated maintenance DNA methylation activity was an initial event developed prior to gain of senescent phenotypes by employing time-series gene expression profiles of two different senescence models of human diploid fibroblast (HDF), replicative senescence (RS; GSE41714) and H2O2-induced senescence (HS).
