Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of RUNX1-RUNX1T1(9a) transformed c-kit positive cells with (Kat2a WT) and without Kat2a (Kat2a NULL). Lineage negative bone marrow cells were collected from Kat2a fl/fl Mx1-Cre-/- and Kat2a fl/fl Mx1-Cre +/- animals after pIpC treatment and transduced with RUNX1-RUNX1T1(9a) expressing retrovirus (reported by GFP expression). Cells were injected into irradiated C57BL6 mice and GFP positive c-Kit positive bone marrow cells collected 2 and 4 months after transplantation. Cells were processed for single-cell RNA sequencing library preparation (10X chromium single cell) and next gene sequencing following 10X genomics v2 protocol.

Project description:With the aim to reveal the function of microRNAs in Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in response to portal hypertension, primary rat HSCs were exposed to pressure (10mmHg, 1 h) by using a pressure induced apparatus. Appling next-generation sequencing screened the pressurization induced miRNAs expression profile in HSCs. Among them miR-9a-5p was confirmed to be significantly increased after loading pressure in HSC by RT-PCR. It was found that inhibition of miR-9a-5p could significantly restrain HSCs proliferation and activation under pressure overload. Moreover, the results showed that the induction of miR-9a-5p upon pressure load might by increasing the phosphorylation of Akt but not FAK and Erk1/2. Luciferase reporter assay and western blot suggested that Sirt1 was a potential target gene of miR-9a-5p. Finally, we revealed that miR-9a-5p level was apparently higher in rat liver fibrotic model than in the normal control while Sirt1 level was decreased in fibrotic liver tissue. In conclusion, our results suggest that miR-9a-5p regulate HSCs proliferation through negative regulation of Sirt1 and suggest a potential biomarker for portal hypertension.
