Project description:After isolation, islets were cultured in a serum-exosomes-free culture media for one week. Collected culture media were centrifuged first at 300g for 20 min to pellets cells and then at 10000g for 20 min to discard dead cells and cell debris. Exosomes were then isolated from the supernatant by ultracentrifugation at 110000g for 70 min. Exosomes were collected in a minimal volume of PBS,and added three times the volume of Trizol LS to extract exosomes RNA.
Project description:Purpose: To dissect the mechanisms of EPC-drived exosome in promoting endothelial cells reendothelialization, next-generation sequencing was used to determine exosome miRNA content and alterations in mRNA expression in HUVEC. Methods: The miRNA of EPC-drived exosomes sequencing was carried out on the HiSeq 2500 Platform (NovelBio Corp. Laboratory, Shanghai). The data analysis was carried out with the QIAseq miRNA quantification platform using unique molecular index (UMI) counts according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The mRNA analysis of three independent samples of PBS or EPC exosomes treated HUVEC was performed using the the HiSeq 2500 Platform (NovelBio Corp. Laboratory, Shanghai) following the manufacturer’s instructions. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: The 20 most highly expressed microRNAs identified in EPC exosomes s are listed in Table 1. The genes predicted to be targeted by those microRNAs most highly expressed in EPC exosomes (top 20 microRNAs comprising ~75% of all reads, Table 1) are most significantly enriched in the functional category ‘blood vessel development’within the top 10 categories. Further, endothelial-specific miR-21-5P was the most highly expressed microRNA in EPC exosomes. Conclusions:EPC exosomes promote vascular endothelial repair by delivering functional miR-21-5p.
Project description:We hypothesized that miRNAs in the bone maroow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC)-derived exosomes contributed to the phenotype change of breast cancer cells through exosome transfer. We analyzed the miRNA expression signature in BM-MSC-derived exosomes. We compared the miRNA expression levels in exosomes between BM-MSCs and adult fibroblasts (as a control). In this study, miRNA expression including in bone-marrow mesenchymal cell (BM-MSC)-derived exosomes was examined, and compared with that of exosomes derived from adult fibroblast cells or the BM-MSC cells. In addition, miRNA expression of BM-MSC exosomes was also compared with that of breast cancer cells with or without cancer stem cell marker.
Project description:Exposure to high fat diet (HFD) and persistent organic pollutants including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is associated with liver injury in human populations and with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and steatohepatitis (NASH) in animal models. Exposure of HFD-fed male mice to the non-dioxin-like (NDL) PCB mixture Aroclor1260 or to dioxin-like (DL) PCB126 or to the combination caused steatohepatitis and differentially altered the liver proteome with pathways involving epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Here unbiased RNA sequencing of miRNA (miRNA-seq) and subsequent network analysis to characterize the biological pathways altered by HFD and PCB exposure compared to HFD alone. Distinct miRNA expression patterns reveald a potential role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. These results demonstrate miRNA and transcriptome pathways in PCB-related hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in a mouse model of NAFLD.

Project description:Our research is helpful to understand the physiological and pathological level changes caused on the macrophages of islet in HFD conditional, to find the different mechanism or signaling pathway compared with NCD
Project description:Exosomes were isolated from plasma and saliva of healthy individuals and head and neck cancer (HNSCC) patients. miRNA profiling of plasma- and saliva-derived exosomes was performed using nCounter SPRINT system. Diagnostic panels were selected from the exosomal miRNA profile.
Project description:APP misexpression plays a crucial role in triggering a complex pathological cascade, leading to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The aim of this study is for determine the influence of APP ectopic expression on the miRNA profiles of neuronal exosomes. In study, miRNA sequencing was done using the exosomes derived from N2A (control) and APP-N2A (N2A with APP overexpression).
