Project description:miRNA-sequencing of grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles and fusion nanovesicles derived from grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles and gingival mesenchymal stem cell-derived vesicles. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis to explore the miRNAs derived from grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles, and the retention rate of miRNAs after membrane fusion
Project description:To gain insight into the microRNA expression profile of small extracellular vesicles derived from bone metabolism related cell types and to verify their mechanism, we utilized the miRNA sequencing technology to analyze the miRNA profiles of different mouse osteoblast and osteoclast cell derived small extracellular vesicles.
Project description:This study investigates the impact of hydatid antigens on the miRNA expression profiles within extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). By stimulating MSCs with echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces (ESPs), hydatid cyst fluid (HCF), and particles from the laminated layer (pLL), we aim to uncover the changes in miRNA expression and their potential roles in modulating immune responses and osteogenic differentiation. Through high-throughput sequencing, differential expression analysis, and subsequent bioinformatics analyses, we identify key miRNAs and their target genes involved in these processes. Our findings provide insights into the complex interplay between parasitic infections and host cell responses, highlighting the therapeutic potential of MSC-derived EVs in treating hydatid disease.
Project description:Phenotypic changes induced by extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in the recovery of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). miRNAs are potential candidates for cell reprogramming towards a pro-regenerative phenotype. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether miRNA de-regulation inhibits the regenerative potential of MSCs and derived-EVs in a model of glycerol-induced AKI in SCID mice. For this purpose, we generated MSCs depleted of Drosha, a critical enzyme of miRNA maturation, to alter miRNA expression within MSCs and EVs. Drosha knock-down MSCs (MSC-Dsh) maintained the phenotype and differentiation capacity. They produced EVs that did not differ from those of wild type cells in quantity, surface molecule expression and internalization within renal tubular epithelial cells. However, EVs derived from MSC-Dsh (EV-Dsh) showed global down-regulation of miRNAs. Whereas, wild type MSCs and derived EVs were able to induce morphological and functional recovery in AKI, MSC-Dsh and EV-Dsh were ineffective. RNA sequencing analysis showed that genes deregulated in the kidney of AKI mice were restored by treatment with MSCs and EVs but not by MSC-Dsh and EV-Dsh. Gene Ontology analysis showed that down-regulated genes in AKI were associated with fatty acid metabolism. The up-regulated genes in AKI were involved in inflammation, ECM-receptor interaction and cell adhesion molecules. These alterations were reverted by treatment with wild type MSCs and EVs, but not by the Drosha counterparts. In conclusion, miRNA depletion in MSCs and EVs significantly reduced their intrinsic regenerative potential in AKI, suggesting a critical role of miRNAs. RNA-seq
Project description:Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a life-threatening anomaly with high morbidity and mortality. To investigate the pathogenesis of CDH, miRNA sequencing was performed using amniotic fluid-derived extracellular vesicles (AF-EVs) of CDH patients.
Project description:Extracellular vesicles were isolated from the cell culture supernatants of podocytes under high glucose(HG), normal glucose(NG) and iso-osmolality stimulation (three replicates/group). miRNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in podocyte-derived extracellular vesicles. After sequencing, A total of 1915 miRNAs were annotated from all samples . A comparison of the HG and NG groups showed that 11 miRNAs were differentially expressed (4 for up-regulated and 7 for down-regulated,|log2(fold change)| > 1, p-value < 0.05), while a comparison of the HG and iso-osmolality groups showed that 18 miRNAs were differentially expressed (1 for up-regulated and 17 for down-regulated, |log2(fold change)| > 1, p-value < 0.05). This study provides the results of miRNA alteration in podocytes extracellular vesicles under HG stimulation.
Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from three different biopsies of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) were isolated and characterized by different omic analysis. The goal was to characterized the EVs cargo to study their implication in an animal model of chronic cardiac inflammation
