Project description:mouse Freshly isolated monocyte (LY6C high) and (LY6C low) were purified from WT DBA/1 mice blood, and sorted by FACS. We used Taqman miRNA TLDA arrays to performed miRNA profiling

Project description:Our study was designed to identify plasma miRNAs specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by a comprehensive array approach. We performed a array-based miRNA analysis on plasma samples from three RA patients and three healthy controls (HCs). TaqMan Low-Density Array (TLDA) using human miRNA version 3.0A and version 2.0B cards (Applied Biosystems) were applied to examine the global change of miRNA expression levels in plasma from patients with RA and healthy controls. A total of 756 mature miRNA updated in the Sanger miRBase v.15.0 were quantified according to the manufacturer's instructions as previously described. Normalization was carried out with the average Ct value of all miRNAs. Relative quantification of miRNA expression was calculated with the 2−ΔΔCt Ct method. The data was presented as log10 of the relative quantity of each miRNA.
Project description:Differentially regulated miRNA candidates in H37Rv infected THP-1 cells were analysed with respect to uninfected THP-1 reference samples. THP-1 cells are monocytes differentiated to macrophages after treatment with PMA for 48 hrs. Total RNA was isolated from infected THP-1 cells after 24 hrs of infection, cDNA was synthesized for TLDA real time PCR reaction using TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription kit and Megaplex Human Pool A and Pool B stem loop RT primers (version 3.0) as per manufacturer’s protocol. Further real time reaction was performed on QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) by using cDNA (without pre-amplification) on TLDA card A and card B (version 3.0).

Project description:miRNA expression profiling was performed on MM.1S MM cells cultured 8 hours in control media or 50nM RGB-286638, with or without BMSCs. The emerging role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) led us to hypothesize that the miRNA network might be among the inducible transcriptional alterations consequent to MM-bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) interactions. Our data suggests that BMSC induced MM transcription led to aberrant miRNA expression. We therefore hypothesized that agents interfering with RNAPII transcription might inhibit aberrant miRNA expression in MM. To test this hypothesis we used RGB-286638, a novel protein kinase inhibitor, which works primarily via RNAPII inhibition followed by transcriptional arrest in MM cells. miRNA profiling of RGB-286638-exposed MM cells resulted in RNAPII arrest associated with reduced miRNA levels. RGB-286638 abrogated BMSCs-induced miRNAs, which correlated with growth arrest in MM cells. Analysis of RGB-286638-induced differentially-expressed miRNAs in MM cells, in the presence or absence of BMSCs, revealed RNAPII regulation of expression of BMSC-inducible miRNAs with established oncogenic functions in MM Our findings demonstrate the role of RNAPII in regulating miRNA network, suggesting a new rationale for using agents interfering with RNAPII transcription in the treatment of MM. TaqMan Low-Density Array (TLDA) using human miRNA version 2.0A and version 3.0B cards (Applied Biosystems) were applied to examine the global change of miRNA expression levels in MM.1S cells when co-cultured with BMSCs, with or without RGB-286638 treatment. A total of 756 mature miRNA updated in the Sanger miRBase v.15.0 were quantified according to the manufacturer's instructions as previously described. miRNAs with Ct values higher than 37 were excluded from the analysis. Normalization was carried out with the mean of RNU44 and RNU48. Relative quantification of miRNA expression was calculated with the 2M-bM-^HM-^RM-NM-^TM-NM-^TCt Ct method using the ddCt program (Shannon McCormack Advanced Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory Research Services). The data was presented as log10 of the relative quantity of each miRNA.

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.
