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 Sequence library of miRNAs from a single sample of human foetal mesenchymal stem cells. Results tested and confirmed by northern blotting. Please note that only raw data files are available for the embryonic and neual samples and thus, directly submitted to SRA (SRX547311, SRX548700, respectively under SRP042115/PRJNA247767)
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
Project description:The underlying mechanisms which are responsible and govern early haematopoietic differentiation during development are poorly understood. Gene expression comparison between pluripotent human embryonic stem cells and earliest haematopoietic progenitors may reveal novel transcripts and pathways and provide crucial insight into early haematopoietic lineage specification and development. Understanding of transcriptional cues that direct differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to defined and functional cell types is essential for their future clinical applications. In this study we have undertaken a comparative transcriptional approach of haematopoietic progenitors derived from hESC at various stages of a feeder and serum free differentiation method and have shown that the largest transcriptional changes occur during the first four days of differentiation. Data mining based on molecular function pointed to RhoGTPase signalling as key regulator of this differentiation. Inhibition of this pathway using a chemical inhibitor (Y26732) resulted in a significant downregulation of haematopoietic progenitors throughout the differentiation window, thus uncovering a previously unappreciated role for RhoGTPase signalling in differentiation of hESC to haematopoietic lineages. There are a total of 4 samples within this microarray experiment with 2 biological replicates for each sample. Pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (day 0) underwent haematopoietic differentiation and at various stages of development (day 4, day 6, day8) differentiated cells were FACS sorted for two key haemangioblast markers, CD31 and KDR.
