Project description:Gene expression profiling of 1,211 microRNAs in nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma cell lines Gene expression profiling of 1,211 microRNAs in three nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma cell lines, EBV-negative NK-cell line and normal NK cells
Project description:We performed a comprehensive genome-wide miRNA expression profiling (MEP) of extranodal nasal-type Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) using formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) (n=30) and NK cell lines (n=6) in comparison with normal NK cells, with the objective of understanding the pathogenetic role of miRNA deregulation in NKTL.
Project description:To elucidate the epithelial cell diversity within the nasal inferior turbinates, a comprehensive investigation was conducted comparing control subjects to individuals with house dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis. This study aimed to delineate the differential expression profiles and phenotypic variations of epithelial cells in response to allergic rhinitis. This research elucidated distinct subpopulations and rare cell types of epithelial cells within the nasal turbinates, discerning alterations induced by allergic rhinitis. Furthermore, by interrogating transcriptomic signatures, the investigation provided novel insights into the cellular dynamics and immune responses underlying allergic rhinitis pathogenesis

Total RNA, including miRNA, were extracted using Ambion Recoverall Kit and profiled using Agilent human miRNA V2.
Project description:Extranodal NK/T-cell, nasal type (hereinafter, nasal T/NK lymphoma), is a distinct clinicopahtologic entity highly associated with EBV. Among nasal T/NK lymphoma, some cases are developed from the long-lasting EBV infection termed chronic active EBV (CAEBV) infection.The clonal expansion of EB infected T- or NK cell are seen in patients with both nasal T/NK lymphoma and CAEBV infection, suggesting that two diseases might partly share the similar mechanism by which EBV affect host cellular genes. Question has thus arisen why a subset of patients with CAEB infection develop into nasal T/NK lymphoma. This study aimed to investigate the virus-host interaction in EBV-associated lymphoma. Keywords = nasak NK/T lymphoma Keywords = chronic active EBV infection Keywords: other
Project description:Nasal NK-cell lymphomas are EBV-infected lymphomas of the nasal mucosa. The genome-wide miRNA expression profiles of 36 cases of NNLs are determined with the NanoString technology. It is found that the expression levels of let-7 inhibits progression of nasal lymphomas.
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
