Project description:The macrophages in tomor microenvironment in were alike M2 macrophages which contribute to tumor progression and migration. Since macrophages can secret lots of exosomes and M2 macrophage can induce the imbalance of Treg/Th17 ratio in EOC tumor environment, we want to investage the different expression of miRNA between the exosomes secreted by monocyte and M2 macrophage. Thus to see if the microRNA in exosomes secreted from M2 macrophage paly a big role in the T cell imbalance.
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
Project description:MiRNA microarray analysis was performed on exosomes secreted by mouse MSC cells under two different conditions of normal oxygen and hypoxia, in order to find out the different miRNAs in exosomes secreted by MSC under two different conditions.

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:miRNA microarray profiling was performed for exosomes and secreted melanosomes of MNT-1 cells as well as WM3682 and WM3314 cells and melanosomes isolated from cell homogenates. The aim of this study is to compare the miRNA content of exosomes and secreted melanosomes and to assess differences in the miRNA profiles of different melanoma cell lines and their melanosomes.
Project description:As the primary seed cells in periodontal tissue engineering, the role of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in periodontal tissue regeneration and bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) has been well documented. Nevertheless, the impact of different polarization states of macrophages on the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs is poorly understood. M0, M1 and M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M0-exo, M1-exo and M2-exo) were treated with primary cultured human PDLSCs, respectively. Identification of differentially expressed microRNAs (DE-miRNA) in M0-exo and M2-exo by miRNA microarray. In summary, we have indicated for the first time that M2-exo can promote osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs, and have revealed the functions and pathways involved in the DE-miRNAs of M0-exo and M2-exo and their downstream targets.

The aim of this study is to compare the miRNA content of exosomes and secreted melanosomes and to assess differences in the miRNA profiles of different melanoma cell lines and their melanosomes. Total RNA was extracted from MNT-1 exosomes and secreted melanosomes (2 replicates each) that were isolated from the conditioned medium of MNT-1 melanoma cells by differential ultracentrifugation. In addition, total RNA was isolated from WM3682 and WM3314 melanoma cells and melanosomes (1 replicate each). These latter melanosomes were isolated from cell homogenates by filtration through a 0.45 µm filter, followed by FACS sorting.

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.
