Project description:hematopoiesis and myelopoiesis was tightly controled by microRNAs. In the zebrafish adult kidney, specific sets of genes were dysregulated in myelomonocytes or whole kidney marrow after deletion of miR-142-3p. microarrays were used to clarified the miR-142-3p regulatory network in myelopoiesis in miR-142-3p knockout zebrafish kidney and we identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes in zebrafish myelopoiesis or hematopoiesis after deletion of miR-142-3p.

The myelomonocytes and whole kidney marrow (without erythrocytes) were sorted from wild-type or miR-142-3p double knockout zebrafish kidney at 60 dpf (four zebrafish kidneys and two independent repeats for each sample). Total RNA was extracted and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:miR-142-3p is highly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and has been described as a hematopoietic-restricted lineage, suggesting immune functions (Chen, Li et al. 2004; Landgraf, Rusu et al. 2007; Merkerova, Belickova et al. 2008). In order to determine the roles of miR-142-3p in B lymphocytes, we over-expressed this miRNA in the Raji B-cell line using a synthetic mimic of miR-142-3p and analyzed gene expression 24 hours after the transfection. Four replicates each of miR-142-3p-mimic transfection and apparied control mimic.
