Project description:Recent studies demonstrate both basal and luminal cells of the prostate gland can initiate tumorigenesis upon oncogenic transformation. However, it remains unclear how molecular mechanisms operating within each cell lineage contribute to the initiation and progression of the prostate cancer. Here we investigate functions of individual miRNAs using genetically engineered mouse models. By both quantitative miR-Seq and in situ hybridization, we identify microRNA-205 (miR-205) as the most highly expressed miRNA and specific to the basal cells in the prostate. MicroRNA-205 expression is further elevated in the basal cells in the well-established Pten null tumorigenic mouse model. To investigate the role of miR-205 in Pten-deletion mediated tumorigenesis, we generated a Pten/miR-205 double knockout mouse model. Concurrent deletion of both miR-205 and Pten significantly compromised tumor progression in both basal and luminal compartments. We observed significantly reduced tumor size and compromised proliferation in both basal and luminal cells. We have previously demonstrated a critical requirement of miR-205 for maintaining the PI(3)K signaling and pAkt levels in skin stem cells. Consistent with this role, we observed strong reduction of pAkt and significantly increased cellular senescence in the basal cells of the dKO, compared to the Pten KO alone. These results suggest that miR-205 is cell-autonomously required for the tumorigenesis of the basal cells. Taken together, we have identified miR-205 as an important regulator in prostate cancer. Our study also reveals an essential and unexpected role of the basal cells for promoting prostate tumorigenesis.

Project description:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.

Project description:Genes modulated by miR-205 in DU145 prostate cancer cells
| PRJNA106111 | ENA
Project description:The study was aimed at identifying genes directly or indirectly regulated by miR-205 in the prostate. To this purpose, DU145 prostate cancer cells, which express miR-205 at very low levels, were transfected with miR-205 synthetic precursor and consequent alterations of gene expression analyzed using a microarray approach.

Project description:In this study, the prognostic properties of miR-205 expression levels are investigated in a well-documented prostate cancer cohort. We show that miR-205 is correlated to shortened overall survival, significantly dividing the PCa patients into high and low risk groups. Furthermore, miR-205 is shown to inversely correlate to occurrence of metastases. In situ hybridization is also performed, demonstrating high miR-205 expression in the basal cells of benign prostate tissue glands. A RIP-Chip assay using an AGO2 antibody was implemented and the miR-205 targets identified were found to be enriched in MAPK/ERK, Toll-like receptor and IL-6 signaling pathways. We also found individual targets involved in cancer and androgen receptor signaling. Ectopic levels of miR-205 are shown to decrease the level of androgen receptor both at the mRNA and protein levels in prostate cancer cell lines. This is further corroborated in the prostate cancer cohort were miR-205 expression levels in the prostatic tissues are found to inversely correlate to assessment of androgen receptor (AR) immunostaining and to serum levels of PSA, a protein regulated by AR signaling. The level of miR-205 is also found to be significantly lower in castration resistant prostate cancer patients than in hormone naïve patients. Our data indicates that miR-205 is regulated by androgens and act by different mechanisms in androgen depleted settings, e.g. giving opposite effects on adhesion. Taken together these findings imply that miR-205 might have therapeutic potential especially for the castration resistant and currently untreatable form of prostate cancer.

Project description:Through phenotypical study, we found that miR-205 can promote hair growth. The goal of this study is to determine how miR-205 effects epithelial cellular states and how miR-205 promotes hair growth at single cell level.

Project description:Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) support T cell development in the thymus. Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) facilitate positive selection of developing thymocytes whereas medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) facilitate the deletion of self-reactive thymocytes in order to prevent autoimmunity. The mTEC compartment is highly dynamic with continuous maturation and turnover, but the genetic regulation of these processes remains poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of TEC genetic programs since miRNA-deficient TECs are severely defective. However, the individual miRNAs important for TEC maintenance and function and their mechanisms of action remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-205 is highly and preferentially expressed in mTECs during both thymic ontogeny and in the postnatal thymus. This distinct expression is suggestive of functional importance for TEC biology. Genetic ablation of miR-205 in TECs, however, neither revealed a role for miR-205 in TEC function during homeostatic conditions nor during recovery from thymic stress conditions. Thus, despite its distinct expression, miR-205 on its own is largely dispensable for mTEC biology.
