Project description:Microarray analysis of exosomal miRNAs vs the miRNAs of their respective donor cells. To determine the miRNA repertoires of exosomes secreted by immune cells, we isolated exosomes from cell supernatants of the Raji B cell line, the Jurkat-derived J77 T cell line, and primary dendritic cells (DCs) derived from human monocytes. Exosomes were isolated by a series of microfiltration and ultracentrifugation steps
Project description:To determine the different gene signatures between primary tumor and tumor-derived exosomes, we have employed RNA-sequencing as a discovery platform to identify gene signatures of tumor-derived exosomes, taking the original tumors as a control. We subcutaneously inoculated C57BL/6 mice with Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC). Three weeks later, tumor tissues were cut and tumor-derived exosomes were isolated as described in the "treatment protocol". Then, both exosomal RNA and tumor RNA were extracted and sequenced. From sequencing, we found that exosomal RNAs showed quite different transcript profiles from tumor RNAs. Examination of different gene signatures between primary tumor and tumor-derived exosomes. 2 replicates each.
Project description:In order to investigate the function and mechanism of Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL) primary ligament cell derived exosomes, we take advantages of high throughput sequencing technology to fully reveal the small RNA content of both OPLL and normal posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) cell derived exosomes.
Project description:Exosomes are vesicles of endocytic origin released by many types of cells into the extracellular environment. In an attempt to further examine the exosome-mediated cellular communication, we show that exosomes from a mouse mast cell line (MC/9), exosomes from primary bone marrow derived mast cells, and exosomes from a human mast cell line (HMC-1) contain RNA but not DNA. Microarray assessments of exosome-derived RNA revealed that these vesicles contain mRNA from approximately 1200 genes, many of which are unique and not present in the cytoplasmic RNA pool in the donor cell. Experiment Overall Design: Exosomes were prepared from the supernatant of MC/9 cells by differential centrifugations and filtration. RNA was isolated from the exosomes and their parental cells using Trizo. The microarray experiments were performed by SweGene (www.swegene.org/) according to Affymetrix microarray DNA chip analysis. The experiment was performed in quadruple samples. ExoRNA1, ExoRNA2, ExoRNA3, and ExoRNA4 for the exosomes samples and Mast_cells1, Mast_cells2, Mast_cells3, and Mast_cells4 for the MC/9 cells.
Project description:Tumor-derived exosomes are emerging as mediators of tumorigenesis with a tissue-specific address and message. We explored the function of melanoma-derived exosomes in formation of primary tumors and metastatic progression in both murine models and patients. Whereas exosomes from highly metastatic melanoma cells increased the metastatic behavior of primary tumor cells by educating bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells via the MET receptor, exosomes from low metastatic melanoma cells did not alter the incidence of metastases. Melanoma-derived exosomes induced vascular leakiness at pre-metastatic sites, and reprogrammed BM progenitor cells towards a pro-vasculogenic phenotype (c-Kit+Tie2+MET+). Reducing MET expression in tumor-derived exosomes diminished the pro-metastatic behavior of BM cells. Importantly, MET expression was upregulated in circulating BM progenitor cells (CD45-CD117low and CD45-CD117lowTIE2+) isolated from stage III and stage IV melanoma patients. Rab1a, Rab5b, Rab7, and Rab27a were highly expressed in melanoma and Rab27a RNA interference decreased exosome production and/or soluble angiogenic factors in melanoma cells, thereby preventing mobilization of BM progenitor cells, tumor growth and metastasis. Finally, we identified a melanoma signature in exosomes isolated from metastatic melanoma patients, comprised of TYRP2, VLA-4, Hsp70, an Hsp90 isoform and MET oncoprotein, which together with Rab proteins, appear to represent exosome-specific proteins with prognostic potential, and may provide new therapeutic targets. Identification of molecular finger associated to exosome effects in metastatic organs Microarray analysis of genes differentially expressed in the lungs 24 and 48 hours after B16-F10 exosome tail vein injection compared to control.
Project description:Lymphoblast cells from a patient with Freidriech's Ataxia were incubated with pyrrole-imidazole polyamides targeted to the GAA triplet repeat in the intron 1. The polyamides were shown in cell culture to increase levels of endogenous frataxin mRNA. A normal sibling derived lymphoblast cell line was used as a control. Keywords: human lymphoblast cells

Project description:We established a BCG-infected THP-1 cell model in vitro, obtained the total RNA of cell culture supernatant exosomes and total RNA of the infected group and the uninfected group, and performed miRNA sequencing analysis to find exosomes related to tuberculosis infection The body-derived miRNA is verified by cell lines and primary cells, and the diagnostic value of small sample clinical samples and preliminary functional research and exploration are explored for candidate molecules.
