Project description:Analysis of gene expression of primary osteoblasts transfected with miR-320a mimic or miR-320a inhibitor or their respective controls.
Project description:Objective: To investigate the effects of stretch-induced periodontal ligament cell (PDLC) exosomes on osteoblast differentiation, and to explore their regulatory role in mechanical force-related periodontal tissue remodeling.Design: After applying 20% stretch loading to human periodontal ligament cells, exosomes were extracted from the supernatant and co-cultured with osteoblasts to detect their effects on osteogenic differentiation. Meanwhile, the exosomes were sequenced by high-throughput microRNA sequencing for bioinformatic analysis and validation to explore exosome signaling pathways through miRNAs.Results: Stretch-induced PDLC exosomes could be taken up by osteoblasts and promoted osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts, as demonstrated by the increased expression levels of osteogenesis-related factors and enhanced ALP staining. In the miRNA profile of differentially expressed PDLC exosomes under stretch loading, miRNA-181d-5p was up-regulated significantly. The expression levels of osteogenesis-related factors and ALP staining were also increased in osteoblasts transfected with miR-181d-5p, and this effect might be related to the inhibitory role of exosomal miR-181d-5p on tumor necrosis factor (TNF).Conclusions: Stretch-induced PDLC exosomes exhibited a promoting effect on osteogenic differentiation, which might result from the inhibition of TNF via exosomal miR-181d-5p.
Project description:Primary calvaria osteoblasts from newborn mice were cultured. Cells were transfected with control and miR-195 mimic. Following serum starvation cells were treated with recombinant human BMP2 and expression was analyzed 4 hours after treatment. Additionally, osteoblast differentiation was induced with osteogenic medium. Cells were analyzed at confluence (day 0) and 9 days later (day 9).

Project description:miR-19b was up-regulated with hepatocellular carcinoma. We compared the transcriptional profile of Hep 3B transfected with miR-19b inhibitor with Hep3B transfected with control to identify genes affected by miR-19b knockdown.
Project description:This series consists of samples taken from two groups of K562 cells(miR-181a transfected group and control group ) and harvested 48 hours later. We used Agilent human 1A oligo microarray identified the changes in gene expression profile of K562 cells after miR-181a transfection experiment. Further studies aimed to find target mRNA of miR-181a in mammalian cells and its biological function. Keywords = miR-181a Keywords = microarray Keywords = K562 Keywords: microRNA transfection analysis
