Project description:MiR-1246 was found to promote tumorigenesis and metastasis in sevearl cancer types. In the context of tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages are a central part typically correlated with poor prognosis. We used microarray data to determine the gene expression profile in M2-like macrophages when treated with an overexpression of miR-1246 (conducted by miR-1246 mimic). As controls, we used either scambaled mimic control sequence, or a miR-1246 inhibitor.
Project description:Today, the pathogenesis of human enterovirus type 71 (HEV71) infection in human central neural system remains unclear. HEV71 is the major pathogen of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD), and has been associated with severe neurological disease and even death in infants and young children. We employed the human whole genome microarray analyze the mRNA profiling in human neuroblastoma cells SH-SY5Y infected with HEV71 after transfection. Firstly, SH-SY5Y cells were transfected wtih miR-1246 inhibitor and negtive control respectively using HiPerFect Transfection Reagent according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then the cells were infected with HEV71 after transfection. After 12 hours infection, the cells were harvested to microarray analysis. The results showed the altered expression of mRNAs including up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes. Overall, this finding will help to understand the functional genes in HEV71-infected human neuroblastoma cells and miR-1246-virus-host interaction. SH-SY5Y cells were transfected wtih miR-1246 inhibitor and negtive control respectively using HiPerFect Transfection Reagent according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then the cells were infected with HEV71 after transfection. After infection, the cells were harvested to microarray analysis. Total RNA of cells infected with HEV71 was extracted using the TRIZOL Reagent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Gene-expression profiling was performed for each pooling RNA sample separately on the GeneChip_ Porcine Genome Array at CapitalBio Corporation (Beijing, China).

Project description:We performed a microarray analysis of mouse skin treated with a miR-29b mimic or a miR-29 inhibitor in order to identify pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers that were reciprocally regulated in vivo in the skin
Project description:Mouse peritoneal macrophages were transfected with 80-120 nM miRIDIAN miRNA mimics (miR-mimic-33/miR-mimic-33*) or with 80-120 nM miRIDIAN miRNA inhibitors (anti-miR-33 ASO/anti-miR-33*ASO) Control samples were treated with an equal concentration of a non-targeting control mimics sequence (control mimic) or inhibitor negative control sequence (control aso), to control for non-specific effects in miRNA experiments.
Project description:Due to alternative processing pathway and post-transcriptional modifications, precursor miRNAs maturate into various sequence isoforms (isomiRs). These sequence variations may result in the changes of the miRNA seed site, target genes, involvement in signaling pathways and thus function. It is important to mention that knowledge about the targets of isomiR is still poor. To date, isomiR research has only been performed in melanoma, breast, and gastric cancer, but there are no experimental studies conducted in colorectal cancer. Here, we aimed to evaluate the putative targets and functional role in vitro of miR-1246 and its two 5’ isoforms (ISO-miR-1246_a and ISO-miR-1246_G). To our best knowledge, this is the first study showing the important role of 5’isoforms of miR-1246 in colorectal carcinogenesis, while acting on different targetomes and being involved in distinct signaling pathways.

Project description:To Identify of metastasis-related genes and metastasis-related miRNA in oral squamous cell carcinoma by miRNA profiling of HOC313-Parent, HOC313-LM and their respective exosomes carried out. As a result, miR-342-3p and -1246 were found candidate oncogenic miRNAs. To further identify the target genes of miR-1246 and miR-342-3p, we performed gene expression array analysis with HOC313-LM and HOC313-Parent (HOC313-P) transfected NT, miR-342-3p and miR-1246. Moreover, to identify tumor suppressor genes, gene expression profiles of each of transfected cells and HOC313-LM cells were analyzed by in silico analyses. As a result, DENND2D emerged as the possible target of miRN-1246.
