Project description:Impact of mmu-miR-337-3p on the global gene expression in murine hepatoblasts. We used microarrays to identify the genes controlled by mmu-miR-337-3p in in vitro cultured hepatoblasts. We identified distinct classes of up-regulated / down-regulated genes.
Project description:We performed RNA sequencing on the fetal portion of murine placentas isolated at gestational day (GD) 18, 8 days after dams are exposed to a single intravascular administration of either pooled murine-conserved HEamiRNAs (50 μg of pooled equimolar quantities of mmu-miR-222-5p, mmu-miR-187-5p, mmu-mir-299a, mmu-miR-491-3p, miR-760-3p, mmu-miR-671-3p, mmu-miR-449a-5p and mmu-miR-204-5p mimics) or control scrambled miRNAs.
Project description:We investigated functions of miRNAs at the level of the whole transcriptome of primary neurons. We transfected mouse E17.5 forebrain primary neuronal cultures (at four to six days of in vitro development) with miRNA mimics and inhibitors. After approximately 48 h post transfection we profiled the effect of these transfections on gene expression with Illumina mRNA microarrays. Cultures were transfected with mimics and inhibitors of five mouse miRNAs (mmu-miR-124, mmu-miR-434-3p, mmu-miR-143, mmu-miR-145 and mmu-miR-25) and with a mimic of a non-mouse miRNA (cel-miR-67). Direct widespread inhibition of gene expression by the perturbed miRNAs was evident when gene expression in cultures transfected with miRNA mimics was compared to those transfected with the inhibitors (or to matched mock transfected cultures): 3-prime UTRs of downregulated transcripts were significantly enriched in seed matching sites for the perturbed miRNAs. Interestingly, analysis of differential gene expression in mock transfected cells (identified through comparison of mock transfected cultures with matched untreated cultures) revealed that genes inhibited by miRNAs were enriched in genes upregulated in mock transfected cultures. This inhibition was the most efficient by the two neuronal miRNAs under investigation (mmu-miR-124 and mmu-miR-434-3p). To investigate if miRNA mediated inhibition of stress induced genes (i.e. stress associated with transfections) was also the case in other stresses, we profiled gene expression changes triggered by chronic neuronal depolarisation. For this, we treated the cultures with KCl (15 mM, 48 h) and compared them to matched untreated cultures. We found that genes upregulated by KCl had a significant intersection with those upregulated by the mock transfection. Moreover, we also found that genes upregulated by KCl had a significant intersection with genes inhibited by mmu-miR-124 and mmu-miR-434-3p. Therefore we concluded that neuronal miRNAs stabilise the neuronal transcriptome by inhibiting stress inducible genes.
Project description:We intended to investigate effects of mmu-miR-15a-3p on gene expression in mice We used microarrays to compare gene expression in mouse B/CMBA.Ov cell lines transfected with mmu-miR-15a-3p and negative control mimic
Project description:The aim of this research is to explore the metastasis associated negative effect of chronic stress. The analysis of transcriptome sequencing implied that activation of STAT3 signaling pathway by miR-337-3p might be a potential mechanism to induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cell and promote metastasis under chronic stress. We also verified this biological process in further experiments. Downregulation of miR-337-3p could downregulate E-cadherin expression and upregulate vimentin expression in vitro and in vivo. STAT3, related signal pathways of which are involved in metastasis regulation, was directly targeted by miR-337-3p.
Project description:The mouse mSCC-20 cell line was transfected with 5nM of mmu-pre-miR-193b-3p, pre-miR-365a-3p or pre-miR-NC1. Total RNAs were extracted 30 h after transfection and hybridized on microarrays. One color experiment with 3 experimental conditions : miR-NC1- (n=4), miR-193b-3p- (n=2) and miR-365-3p- (n=2) transfected cells, corresponding to a total of 8 samples.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Non-thermal plasma, a partially ionized gas, holds significant potential for clinical applications, including wound-healing support, oral therapies, and anti-tumour treatments. While its applications showed promising outcomes, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We thus apply non-thermal plasma to mouse auricular skin and conducted non-coding RNA sequencing, as well as single-cell blood sequencing. In a time-series analysis (five timepoints spanning 2 hours), we compare the expression of microRNAs in the plasma-treated left ears to the unexposed right ears of the same mice as well as to the ears of unexposed control mice. Our findings indicate specific effects in the treated ears for a set of five miRNAs: mmu-miR-144-5p, mmu-miR-144-3p, mmu-miR-142a-5p, mmu-miR-223-3p, and mmu-miR-451a. Interestingly, mmu-miR-223-3p also exhibits an increase over time in the right non-treated ear of the exposed mice, suggesting systemic effects. Notably, this miRNA, along with mmu-miR-142a-5p and mmu-miR-144-3p, regulates genes and pathways associated with wound healing and tissue regeneration (namely ErbB, FoxO, Hippo, and PI3K-Akt signalling). This co-regulation is particularly remarkable considering the significant seed dissimilarities among the miRNAs. Finally, single-cell sequencing of PBMCs reveals the downregulation of 12 from 15 target genes in B-cells, Cd4+ and Cd8+ T-cells. Collectively, our data provide evidence for a systemic effect of non-thermal plasma.
