Project description:To examine the miRNA changes that occur during osteoclast differentiation we used the miRCURY LNATM microRNA Array (7th Gen) to profile monocyte-derived osteoclasts and monocyte-derived macrophages. Of the 2046 probes present on the assay, we detected expression of ~400 (20%) miRNAs across all samples.
Project description:To examine the miRNA changes that occur during macrophage and dendritic cell differentiation we used the miRCURY LNATM microRNA Array (7th Gen) to profile monocyte-derived macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Of the 2046 probes present on the assay, we detected expression of ~400 (20%) miRNAs across all samples.
Project description:miRNA profiling was carried out using the miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Array (5th gen - hsa, mmu & rno). microRNA profiling of CB and PB-derived ECFCs from 3 independent donors from each cell source. To identify and understand the regulation of endothelial cell functions through comparing miRNA expression profiling of cord blood (CB) derived endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) and peripheral blood (PB) ECFCs
Project description:Monocytes can give rise to multiple highly specialized cell types to perform a wide array of functions, ranging from pathogen phagocytosis to bone resorption. This differentiation is induced by the binding of cytokines to dedicated receptors on the surface of monocytes, which results in the initiation of genetic programs that enable cells to perform their specialized functions. Given their common background, it is not surprising that monocyte-derived cells share abilities and cellular markers, yet their specialized functions require a dedicated set of proteins. In order to dissect the monocyte differentiation process and to define cell type-specific marker proteins, we differentiated circulating monocytes into dendritic cells, M1 and M2 macrophages, and osteoclasts, and assessed their proteomes by quantitative mass spectrometry throughout the differentiation process. Statistical analysis indicated that monocyte differentiation is a linear process characterized by a common core of proteins that is similarly affected among the distinct differentiation paths. Throughout the specialization process a cluster of RNA-binding and processing proteins was downregulated whereas proteins associated to metabolic processes were increased. Analysis of the specialized cells after 10 days of differentiation uncovered existing and putative novel dendritic cell markers. Combined, we here present a comprehensive proteomic analysis of monocyte differentiation uncovering shared and distinct proteomic features of differentiating monocytes and monocyte-derived cells.
Project description:microRNA profiling data includes biological replicates of primary monocytes and macrophages from three human donors Dye swap hybridization arrays were performed for total RNA isolated from fresh monocytes and 7-day monocyte-derived macrophages from each of three human donors
Project description:The infection with high-risk human papillomavirus is aetiologically linked to cervical cancer, the role of miRNAs regulated by virus oncogene in cancer progression remain largely unknown. Here, we screened the differentially expressed miRNAs with miRNA array between virus oncogene e6/e7 silenced and not in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cell lines In the study, we screened the differentially expressed miRNAs with miRNA array (Exiqon, miRCURY LNA microRNA array, 7th gen [hsa, miRBase 18]) between virus oncogene e6/e7 silenced and not in HPV16-positive cervical cancer cell lines to found miRNAs regulated by virus oncogene e6/e7. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 e6/e7 silenced, independently grown and harvested. four replicates per array.
Project description:This is a miRNA expression analysis by microarray. Comparison was made beween Ulcerative Colitis (UC) vs control, Active UC vs Remission, Ascending Colon vs Rectosigmoid area of Colon. The samples were labeled using the miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Hi-Power Labeling Kit, Hy3™/Hy5™ and hybridized on the miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Array (7th gen) following the scheme you outlined in the sample submission form. The technical data quality assessment showed that the labeling was successful as all capture probes for the control spike-in oligo nucleotides produced signals in the expected range. Following normalization of the quantified signals (background corrected) using the global Lowess regression algorithm, we have performed an unsupervised as well as supervised data analysis.
