BACKGROUND: Orofacial development is a multifaceted process involving precise, spatio‐temporal expression of a panoply of genes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), the largest family of noncoding RNAs involved in gene silencing, represent critical regulators of cell and tissue differentiation. MicroRNA gene expression profiling is an effective means of acquiring novel and valuable information regarding the expression and regulation of genes, under the control of miRNA, involved in mammalian orofacial development. METHODS: To identify differentially expressed miRNAs during mammalian orofacial ontogenesis, miRNA expression profiles from gestation day (GD) ‐12, ‐13 and ‐14 murine orofacial tissue were compared utilizing miRXplore microarrays from Miltenyi Biotech. Quantitative real‐time PCR was utilized for validation of gene expression changes. Cluster analysis of the microarray data was conducted with the clValid R package and the UPGMA clustering method. Functional relationships between selected miRNAs were investigated using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. RESULTS: Expression of over 26% of the 588 murine miRNA genes examined was detected in murine orofacial tissues from GD‐12–GD‐14. Among these expressed genes, several clusters were seen to be developmentally regulated. Differential expression of miRNAs within such clusters wereshown to target genes encoding proteins involved in cell proliferation, cell adhesion, differentiation, apoptosis and epithelial‐mesenchymal transformation, all processes critical for normal orofacial development. CONCLUSIONS: Using miRNA microarray technology, unique gene expression signatures of hundreds of miRNAs in embryonic orofacial tissue were defined. Gene targeting and functional analysis revealed that the expression of numerous protein‐encoding genes, crucial to normal orofacial ontogeny, may be regulated by specific miRNAs.

Although the research on the localization of trachea stem cells has made a rapid progress, the mechanism of proliferation and differentiation of trachea stem cells remains unclear. The objective of this study is to observe and analyze the recovery process of mice tracheal epithelium injured by 5-FU, and to investigate the mechanism involved in the regulation of tracheal stem cells proliferation and differentiation through morphological, immunofluorescence, and microarray analysis. After treatment with 5-FU, the mature cells were dead and desquamated. Only a few G0 phase cells remained on the basement membrane. When supplied with normal culture media, the cells eventually became flat, cubic, and restored as pseudostratified epithelium. These G0 phase cells were ABCG2 positive. It suggested that these cells could differentiate into cilia cells or Clara cells, and had the multi-differentiation ability of stem cells. We examinated the expression profile of genes involved in the stem cell differentiation in normal tracheal epithelial cells and the regenerated epithelial cells at 24 and 48 h after injured by 5-FU using gene microarray. After 24 h treatment, 8 genes were up-regulated and 31 genes were down-regulated. After 48 h treatment, 5 genes were up-regulated and 42 genes were down-regulated. The differential gene expressions in gene microarray analysis focused on cell cycle regulation, intercellular junction, fibroblast growth factors, bone morphogenetic protein, Notch and Wnt-signaling pathways, which suggested that the differential gene expressions might be closely associated with the proliferation and differentiation of tracheal stem cells. 相似文献

Alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) injury and repair during hyperoxia exposure and recovery have been investigated for decades, but the molecular mechanisms of these processes are not clear. To identify potentially important genes involved in lung injury and repair, we studied the gene expression profiles of isolated AEC II from control, 48-h hyperoxia-exposed (>95% O(2)), and 1-7 day recovering rats using a DNA microarray containing 10,000 genes. Fifty genes showed significant differential expression between two or more time points (P<0.05, fold change >2). These genes can be classified into 8 unique gene expression patterns. Real-time PCR verified 14 selected genes in three patterns related to hyperoxia exposure and early recovery. The change in the protein level for two of the selected genes, bmp-4 and retnla, paralleled that of the mRNA level. Many of these genes were found to be involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. In an in vitro AEC trans-differentiation culture model using AEC II isolated from control and 48-h hyperoxia-exposed rats, the expressions of the cell proliferation and differentiation genes identified above were consistent with their predicted roles in the trans-differentiation of AEC. These data indicate that a coordinated mechanism may control AEC differentiation during in vivo hyperoxia exposure and recovery as well as during in vitro AEC culture. 相似文献

Microarray profiling of gene expression patterns in bladder tumor cells treated with genistein 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Microarray technology was used to gain an insight into the molecular events of tumor cell growth inhibition mediated by the soy isoflavone genistein. For this, a susceptible bladder tumor line TCCSUP was treated with the inhibitory dose (50 microM) of genistein for various periods of time, followed by mRNA isolations, cDNA probe preparations, and hybridization individually to cDNA chips containing 884 sequence-verified known human genes. After analyzing the hybridization signals with a simple quantitative method developed by this study, we detected that egr-1, whose expression has been associated with proliferation and differentiation, was transiently induced and this expression pattern was later confirmed by RT-PCR. Thus, microarray technology is a reliable and powerful tool for profiling gene expression patterns in many biological systems related to cancer. We further detected many groups of genes with distinct expression profiles and most of them encode for proteins that regulate the signal transduction or the cell cycle pathways. These genes warrant further investigation as regards their roles in the susceptibility of the tumor cell line to the antitumor drug. 相似文献

It is now recognized that precise patterns of differentially expressed genes ultimately direct a particular cell toward a given lineage. In this study, we compared the expression profiles of cancer-related genes by cDNA microarray analysis during the differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells into either monocytes or granulocytes. RNA was isolated at times 0, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h following stimulation of differentiation with all-trans retinoic acid (all-trans RA) or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)], and hybridized to the microarray gene chips containing 872 genes related to cell-cycles, oncogenes and leukemias. Several genes were commonly or differentially regulated during cell differentiation into either lineage, as demonstrated by both hierarchical and self-organizing map clustering analysis. At 72 h the expression levels of 45 genes were commonly up- or down-regulated at least a twofold in both lineages. Most importantly, 32 genes including alpha-L-fucosidase gene and adducin gamma subunit gene were up- or down-regulated only in all-trans RA-treated HL-60 cells, while 12 genes including interleukin 1beta and hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha were up- or down-regulated only in 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-treated HL-60 cells. The expression of selected genes was confirmed by Northern blot analysis. As expected, some genes identified have not been examined during HL-60 cell differentiation into either lineage. The identification of genes associated with a specific differentiation lineage may give important insights into functional and phenotypic differences between two lineages of HL-60 cell differentiation. 相似文献

Background: Discovery of the progression-associated genes and pathways in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) has important implications in understanding the molecular mechanism of tumor development. However, few studies had been performed to focus on the changes of pathways in lung adenocarcinoma development using microarray expression profile.Result: We performed a meta-analysis of 4 LAD microarray datasets encompassing 353 patients to reveal differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal lung tissues and LAD of different stages. Overall, 1 838 genes were found to be dys-regulated, and the adipogenesis, circadian rhythm, and Id pathways were significantly changed. Interestingly, most of the genes from the same gene family (such as Interleukin receptor, Matrix metallopeptidase, Histone cluster and Minichromosome maintenance complex component families) were found to be up-regulated (or down-regulated). Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to validate the expression of randomly selected 18 DEGs in LAD cell lines. In the pathway analysis among stages, Oxidative stress, Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis and Integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathways, which were involved in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, were showed to be significantly regulated in stages other than IA.Conclusion: Genes involved in adipogenesis and Id pathways might play important roles in development of LADs. The similar trend of expression of the gene family members suggested coordinate regulation in tumor progression. Three pathways (Oxidative stress, Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis and Integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathways) significantly regulated in stages other than stage IA suggested that genes and pathways conferring invasive character might be activated in the preinvasive stage IB, while the Oxidative stress and the Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis pathways might have strong connections to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The insignificantly regulated three pathways in stage IA might be used in early-stage detection of LAD. 相似文献

Bursa of Fabricius is the acknowledged vital humoral immune system for B cell differentiation and antibody production. To study the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of bursal-derived BP5, we used gene microarray to analyze the genomic expression profiling of BP5-treated hybridoma cells. BP5 exhibited an immunomodulatory effect on antibody production in hybridoma cells and induced alterations in the gene expression profiles related to the immune-related biological processes, such as T cell activation and proliferation, B cell activation, B cell-mediated immunity, and cytokines cytokine production involved in immune response. In addition, 26 biological pathways associated with immunomodulatory functions were regulated in BP5-treated hybridoma cells, in which p53 signal pathway played an important role in antitumor. Among these regulated genes, 12 differentially expressed genes were verified by qRT-PCR. The activation of p53 activity by BP5 was further confirmed by p53 luciferase reporter assay and p53 expression. Our data revealed that bursal-derived BP5 could regulate various immune-related cellular processes, including antitumor factor p53 signal pathway, perhaps partially accounting for the reported immunomodulatory roles and novel antiproliferation on tumor cells functions of bursal-derived bioactive factor BP5. 相似文献

Osteogenesis is a complex series of events involving the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to generate new bone. In this study, we examined the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization of the extracellular matrix, and gene expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) during osteogenic differentiation. Exposure of BMMSCs to PEMFs increased cell proliferation by 29.6% compared to untreated cells at day 1 of differentiation. Semi‐quantitative RT‐PCR indicated that PEMFs significantly altered temporal expression of osteogenesis‐related genes, including a 2.7‐fold increase in expression of the key osteogenesis regulatory gene cbfa1, compared to untreated controls. In addition, exposure to PEMFs significantly increased ALP expression during the early stages of osteogenesis and substantially enhanced mineralization near the midpoint of osteogenesis. These results suggest that PEMFs enhance early cell proliferation in BMMSC‐mediated osteogenesis, and accelerate the osteogenesis. Bioelectromagnetics 31:209–219, 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) have been increasingly implicated in regulation of cellular processes, but a functional role for Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolases (UCHs), which has been largely relegated to processing of small ubiquitinated peptides, remains unexplored. One member of the UCH family, UCH L1, is expressed in a number of malignancies suggesting that this DUB might be involved in oncogenic processes, and increased expression and activity of UCH L1 have been detected in EBV-immortalized cell lines. Here we present an analysis of genes regulated by UCH L1 shown by microarray profiles obtained from cells in which expression of the gene was inhibited by RNAi. Microarray data were verified with subsequent real-time PCR analysis. We found that inhibition of UCH L1 activates genes that control apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and at the same time suppresses expression of genes involved in proliferation and migration pathways. These findings are complemented by biological assays for apoptosis, cell cycle progression and migration that support the data obtained from microarray analysis, and suggest that the multi-functional molecule UCH L1 plays a role in regulating principal pathways involved in oncogenesis. 相似文献

In biological systems that undergo processes such as differentiation, a clear concept of progression exists. We present a novel computational approach, called Sample Progression Discovery (SPD), to discover patterns of biological progression underlying microarray gene expression data. SPD assumes that individual samples of a microarray dataset are related by an unknown biological process (i.e., differentiation, development, cell cycle, disease progression), and that each sample represents one unknown point along the progression of that process. SPD aims to organize the samples in a manner that reveals the underlying progression and to simultaneously identify subsets of genes that are responsible for that progression. We demonstrate the performance of SPD on a variety of microarray datasets that were generated by sampling a biological process at different points along its progression, without providing SPD any information of the underlying process. When applied to a cell cycle time series microarray dataset, SPD was not provided any prior knowledge of samples' time order or of which genes are cell-cycle regulated, yet SPD recovered the correct time order and identified many genes that have been associated with the cell cycle. When applied to B-cell differentiation data, SPD recovered the correct order of stages of normal B-cell differentiation and the linkage between preB-ALL tumor cells with their cell origin preB. When applied to mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation data, SPD uncovered a landscape of ESC differentiation into various lineages and genes that represent both generic and lineage specific processes. When applied to a prostate cancer microarray dataset, SPD identified gene modules that reflect a progression consistent with disease stages. SPD may be best viewed as a novel tool for synthesizing biological hypotheses because it provides a likely biological progression underlying a microarray dataset and, perhaps more importantly, the candidate genes that regulate that progression. 相似文献

The intestinal epithelium is continuously renewed through a balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. We identified genes of which expression profiles showed significant modulation, and we investigated the cellular mechanisms of this gene regulation in rat intestine after ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) lesions. Total RNA was extracted, and differences in the gene expression profiles between rats at day 3 after VMH lesioning and in sham-VMH lesioned rats were investigated using DNA microarray analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. DNA microarray analysis revealed that VMH lesions regulated the genes that were involved in functions predominantly related to neuronal development, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Real-time PCR also confirmed that gene expressions of Efnb1 were downregulated. Meanwhile, expression of Casp3 was similar. It is noted that the signaling networks of many gene families, including neuron-specific genes and apoptosis genes in the intestine were changed after VMH lesioning. VMH lesions may suppress mainly the caspase independent type II pathway for apoptosis and induce cell proliferation in the intestine. 相似文献

The mechanisms underlying the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to identify the key biological processes during osteogenic differentiation. To this end, we downloaded three microarray data sets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database: GSE12266, GSE18043 and GSE37558. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using the limma package, and enrichment analysis was performed. Protein‐protein interaction network (PPI) analysis and visualization analysis were performed with STRING and Cytoscape. A total of 240 DEGs were identified, including 147 up‐regulated genes and 93 down‐regulated genes. Functional enrichment and pathways of the present DEGs include extracellular matrix organization, ossification, cell division, spindle and microtubule. Functional enrichment analysis of 10 hub genes showed that these genes are mainly enriched in microtubule‐related biological changes, that is sister chromatid segregation, microtubule cytoskeleton organization involved in mitosis, and spindle microtubule. Moreover, immunofluorescence and Western blotting revealed dramatic quantitative and morphological changes in the microtubules during the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose‐derived stem cells. In summary, the present results provide novel insights into the microtubule‐ and cytoskeleton‐related biological process changes, identifying candidates for the further study of osteogenic differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells. 相似文献
