Project description:To identify that differentially downregulated genes in hypoxia or G9a overexpression, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling. SNU484 cells expressing GFP or GFP-G9a vector under normoxic or hypoxic conditions was used to identify that differentially downregulated genes.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.

Project description:G9a is able to silence gene expression in hypoxic condition by increasing histone H3K9me2. We have identified a set of genes that are negatively regulated by G9a in hypoxia-dependent manner. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from MCF7 breast epithelial cells that have been transfected with control (WT) or G9a shRNAs (KD) and exposed to either normoxia or hypoxia. These data are used to obtain 829 genes that are differentially expressed in response to hypoxia, and 205 genes that are sentisive to G9a level. 4 samples were analysed. We generated comparisons between WT and KD in normoxic as well as hypoxic condition. Genes differentially expressed in hypoxic condition were selected followed by selection of genes that lose this differential expression upon G9a knockdown.

Project description:We have sequenced miRNA libraries from human embryonic, neural and foetal mesenchymal stem cells. We report that the majority of miRNA genes encode mature isomers that vary in size by one or more bases at the 3’ and/or 5’ end of the miRNA. Northern blotting for individual miRNAs showed that the proportions of isomiRs expressed by a single miRNA gene often differ between cell and tissue types. IsomiRs were readily co-immunoprecipitated with Argonaute proteins in vivo and were active in luciferase assays, indicating that they are functional. Bioinformatics analysis predicts substantial differences in targeting between miRNAs with minor 5’ differences and in support of this we report that a 5’ isomiR-9-1 gained the ability to inhibit the expression of DNMT3B and NCAM2 but lost the ability to inhibit CDH1 in vitro. This result was confirmed by the use of isomiR-specific sponges. Our analysis of the miRGator database indicates that a small percentage of human miRNA genes express isomiRs as the dominant transcript in certain cell types and analysis of miRBase shows that 5’ isomiRs have replaced canonical miRNAs many times during evolution. This strongly indicates that isomiRs are of functional importance and have contributed to the evolution of miRNA genes
