Integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression in childhood medulloblastoma compared with neural stem cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality and morbidity. Several molecular sub-types of MB have been identified, suggesting they may arise from distinct cells of origin. Data from animal models indicate that some MB sub-types arise from multipotent cerebellar neural stem cells (NSCs). Hence, microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of primary MB samples were compared to CD133+ NSCs, aiming to identify deregulated miRNAs involved in MB pathogenesis. Expression profiling of 662 miRNAs in primary MB specimens, MB cell lines, and human CD133+ NSCs and CD133- neural progenitor cells was performed by qRT-PCR. Clustering analysis identified two distinct sub-types of MB primary specimens, reminiscent of sub-types obtained from their mRNA profiles. 21 significantly up-regulated and 12 significantly down-regulated miRNAs were identified in MB primary specimens relative to CD133+ NSCs (p<0.01). The majority of up-regulated miRNAs mapped to chromosomal regions 14q32 and 17q. Integration of the predicted targets of deregulated miRNAs with mRNA expression data from the same specimens revealed enrichment of pathways regulating neuronal migration, nervous system development and cell proliferation. Transient over-expression of a down-regulated miRNA, miR-935, resulted in significant down-regulation of three of the seven predicted miR-935 target genes at the mRNA level in a MB cell line, confirming the validity of this approach. This study represents the first integrated analysis of MB miRNA and mRNA expression profiles and is the first to compare MB miRNA expression profiles to those of CD133+ NSCs. We identified several differentially expressed miRNAs that potentially target networks of genes and signaling pathways that may be involved in the transformation of normal NSCs to brain tumor stem cells. Based on this integrative approach, our data provide an important platform for future investigations aimed at characterizing the role of specific miRNAs in MB pathogenesis. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate target gene expression through mRNA cleavage or translational repression. There is mounting evidence that they play critical roles in heart disease. The expression of known miRNAs in the heart has been studied at length by microarray and quantitative PCR but it is becoming evident that microRNA isoforms (isomiRs) are potentially physiologically important. It is well known that left ventricular (patho)physiology is influenced by transmural heterogeneity of cardiomyocyte phenotype, and this likely reflects underlying heterogeneity of gene expression. Given the significant role of miRNAs in regulating gene expression, knowledge of how the miRNA profile varies across the ventricular wall will be crucial to better understand the mechanisms governing transmural physiological heterogeneity. To determinine miRNA/isomiR expression profiles in the rat heart we investigated tissue from different locations across the left ventricular wall using deep sequencing. We detected significant quantities of 145 known rat miRNAs and 68 potential novel orthologs of known miRNAs, in mature, mature* and isomiR formation. Many isomiRs were detected at a higher frequency than their canonical sequence in miRBase and have different predicted targets. The most common miR-133a isomiR was more effective at targeting a construct containing a sequence from the gelsolin gene than was canonical miR-133a, as determined by dual-fluorescence assay. We identified a novel rat miR-1 homolog from a second miR-1 gene; and a novel rat miRNA similar to miR-676. We also cloned and sequenced the rat miR-486 gene which is not in miRBase (v18). Signalling pathways predicted to be targeted by the most highly detected miRNAs include Ubiquitin-mediated Proteolysis, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase, Regulation of Actin Cytoskeleton, Wnt signalling, Calcium Signalling, Gap junctions and Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy. Most miRNAs are not expressed in a gradient across the ventricular wall, with exceptions including miR-10b, miR-21, miR-99b and miR-486. 相似文献

microRNAs (miRNAs) are generally thought to negatively regulate the expression of their target genes by mRNA degradation or by translation repression. Here we show an efficient way to identify miRNA target genes by screening alterations in global mRNA levels following changes in miRNA levels. In this study, we used mRNA microarrays to measure global mRNA expression in three cell lines with increased or decreased levels of miR-16 and performed bioinformatics analysis based on multiple target prediction algorithms. For further investigation among the predicted miR-16 target genes, we selected genes that show an expression pattern opposite to that of miR-16. One of the candidate target genes that may interact with miR-16, ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 2 (ARL2), was further investigated. First, ARL2 was deduced to be an ideal miR-16 target by computational predictions. Second, ARL2 mRNA and protein levels were significantly abolished by treatment with miR-16 precursors, whereas a miR-16 inhibitor increased ARL2 mRNA and protein levels. Third, a luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-16 directly recognizes the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of ARL2. Finally, we showed that miR-16 could regulate proliferation and induce a significant G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, which was due at least in part, to the down-regulation of ARL2. In summary, the present study suggests that integrating global mRNA profiling and bioinformatics tools may provide the basis for further investigation of the potential targets of a given miRNA. These results also illustrate a novel function of miR-16 targeting ARL2 in modulating proliferation and cell cycle progression. 相似文献

Serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients often succumb to aggressive metastatic disease, yet little is known about the behavior and genetics of ovarian cancer metastasis. Here, we aim to understand how omental metastases differ from primary tumors and how these differences may influence chemotherapy. We analyzed the miRNA expression profiles of primary EOC tumors and their respective omental metastases from 9 patients using miRNA Taqman qPCR arrays. We find 17 miRNAs with differential expression in omental lesions compared to primary tumors. miR-21, miR-150, and miR-146a have low expression in most primary tumors with significantly increased expression in omental lesions, with concomitant decreased expression of predicted mRNA targets based on mRNA expression. We find that miR-150 and miR-146a mediate spheroid size. Both miR-146a and miR-150 increase the number of residual surviving cells by 2–4 fold when challenged with lethal cisplatin concentrations. These observations suggest that at least two of the miRNAs, miR-146a and miR-150, up-regulated in omental lesions, stimulate survival and increase drug tolerance. Our observations suggest that cancer cells in omental tumors express key miRNAs differently than primary tumors, and that at least some of these microRNAs may be critical regulators of the emergence of drug resistant disease. 相似文献

Macrophage-derived foam cells were one of the hallmarks of atherosclerosis, and microRNAs played an important role in the formation of foam cells. In order to explore the roles of miRNA in the formation of foam cells, we investigated miRNA expression profiles in foam cells through high-throughput sequencing technology. A total of 84 miRNAs were differentially expressed between RAW 264.7 macrophages and foam cells induced by ox-LDL. Thirty miRNAs were upregulated and 54 miRNAs were downregulated. GO terms and KEGG pathways analysis revealed that the target genes of most of DE miRNAs were mainly enriched in “cell differentiation,” “endocytosis,” “MAPK signaling pathway,” and “FoxO signaling pathway.” The target genes of some DE miRNAs were enriched in “Insulin signaling pathway,” “Hippo signaling pathway,” “TNF signaling pathway,” “NF-kappa B signaling pathway,” and “cell death.” Using bioinformatics analyses and dual-luciferase reporter assays, we found that miR-28a-5p and miR-30c-1-3p directly inhibited LRAD3 and LOX-1 mRNA expression through targeting the 3’UTR of LRAD3 and LOX-1 mRNA, respectively. Our study indicates that miRNAs are extensively involved in the formation of foam cells, and provides a valuable resource for further study the role of miRNAs in atherosclerosis. 相似文献
