Project description:Experiment 2 - MiRNA mimics have a length and passenger strand specific effect Wildtype and mutant variants of miR-155 and negative control miRNA mimics were transfected to address the phenotype

Project description:Analysis NCI-H1299 lung cancer cells transfected with synthetic oligo mimics for microRNAs (miRNAs) miR-34a and ghR-34a. We developed a 30-nucleotide single-strand RNA (ssRNA), termed “guide hairpin RNA (ghR),” that has a physiological function similar to that of miRNA and siRNA. The ghR caused no innate cytokine response either in vitro or in vivo. In addition, its structure does not contain a passenger strand seed sequence, reducing the potential for off-target effects relative to existing short RNA reagents. Systemic injection of ghR-form miR-34a (ghR-34a) suppressed tumor growth in a mouse model of RAS-induced lung cancer. Furthermore, ghR-34a functioned in a Dicer- and Ago2-independent manner. This novel RNAi technology may provide a novel, safe, and effective nucleic acid drug platform that will increase the clinical usefulness of nucleic acid therapy. MiR-34a–targeted mRNAs regulated by mRNA degradation rather than translational inhibition were identified using microarray data from miR-34 and ghR-34a transfectants.
Project description:We tried two methods which are the DNase I treated full-length double-strand cDNA sequencing and the poly(A) capture full-length double-strand cDNA sequencing to avoid the non-specific genomic DNA amplification.

Project description:The tracks show enrichment of RNA sequence tags mapped to the mouse genome generated by high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq). Double stranded cDNA was synthesized from enriched RNA that was obtained after depletion of ribosomal RNA. Pieces of cDNA, 300-350 nucleotides in length, were PCR amplified, adapter ligated, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq sequencer. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf Cells were grown according to the approved ENCODE cell culture protocols (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/protocols/cell). Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (74104, Aiagen), following the manufacturer's protocol. Ribosomal RNA was removed from total RNA using the Ribo-ZeroTM Gold Kits (MRZG126, Epicentre). Double-stranded cDNA synthesis was performed on the rRNA depleted RNA using random primers and the SuperScript double-stranded cDNA synthesis kit (11917-010, Life Tech). After first strand cDNA synthesis, NucAway Spin Column (Ambion cat. 100070-30) was used to remove dNTPs. In the second strand cDNA synthesis reaction, dTTP in the dNTP mix was substituted with dUTP. After end repair and addition of 'A' base to 3' end, illumina paired-end adapter was ligated to Double-stranded cDNA library. After gel size selection of adapter ligated cDNA (300-350), Uracil-N-Glycosylase (UNG: Applied Biosystems) was used to digest the second strand cDNA (Parkhomchuk et al. , 2009). PCR amplified adapter ligated cDNA was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq. Sequence reads of 2x101 nt long with 0-2 mismatches were mapped to the mouse genome (version mm9) using the BWA aligner, version 0.5.7. The signal height corresponds to the number of overlapping fragments at each nucleotide position in the genome.
