Project description:Smooth muscle cells retain a high plasticity in adulthood, allowing them to change between a differentiated, contractile phenotype and a dedifferentiated, proliferative and migrative phenotype in response to microenvironmental cues. This plasticity is key to maintain the structure and function of vessel walls. When disregulated, it can lead to the onset of vascular pathologies related to vascular remodeling and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. This screening aims to find novel candidates involved in the regulation of this process, in particular long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).

Project description:Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells were either mock transfected, transfected with scramble control or transfected with pre-miR-143. After 24 hours the cells were harvested with Qiazol and processed for a microarray experiment. The experiment was performed in order to identify potential targets of miR-143.
Project description:Analysis of miRNAs associated with NCL via RNA immunoprecipitation in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells using NCL antibodies to identify a distinct set of miRNAs regulated by NCL. Results provide insight into the regulatory mechanism of RNA binding proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Project description:Investigation of RBPMS role in post-transcriptional control of mRNAs in rat PAC1 pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (SMCs). PolyA mRNA-Seq was carried out after RBPMS knockdown in differentiated PAC1 cells and after inducible RBPMS-A overexpression in dedifferentiated (proliferative) PAC1 cells.
Project description:Analysis of exosomal microRNAs secreted by PDGF-stimulated human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Results increase our understanding of exosome-mediated crosstalk between vascular cells under a pathological condition.
