We performed Fluidigm C1 single cell sequencing analysis of wild-type and microRNA deficient (Dgcr8 knockout) mouse embryonic stem cells mock treated or transfected with either miR-294 or let-7. Overall design: Wild-type and Dgcr8 knockout cells grown in naïve culture conditions were mock transfected or transfected with miRNA mimics for let-7b or miR-294, single cells were captured on Fluidigm C1 24 hours post-transfection and then prepared for sequencing on Illumina HiSeq1000 following manufacturer''s protocol.

View SamplesIn order to identify miR-21 targets by a biochemical high-throughput method, we immunopurified RISC Complex and associated mRNAs in both control and miR-21 overexpressing Jurkat cells.
miR-21 is a negative modulator of T-cell activation.

View SamplesT-lymphocyte activation is efficiently mimicked in vitro by treatment with anti CD3 / anti CD28 antibodies. We report miR-21 induction upon CD3/CD28 stimulation of primary T-lymphocytes. In order to assess the function of miR-21 in T-lymphocytes we interfered with miR-21 function by lentiviral transduction of a miR-21 sponge construct.

View SamplesAn increasing number of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are implicated in various human diseases including cancer; however ncRNA transcriptome of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unexplored. We use CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) to comprehensively map transcription start sites (TSSs) across different etiologies of human HCC as well as mouse HCC, with particular emphasis on ncRNAs distant from protein-coding genes. We find thousands of significantly up-regulated distal ncRNAs in HCC tumors compared to their matched non-tumors, which are as many as protein-coding genes. Moreover, we identify many LTR retroviral promoters activated in HCC tissues and expressed in a subfamily-specific manner, which account for approximately 20% of the up-regulated distal ncRNAs. The transcripts derived from LTRs, determined by 3'' RACE, are multi-exon nuclear ncRNAs typically 0.5-2kb in length. This study sheds light on ncRNA transcriptome of human and mouse HCC. Overall design: Expression profiles using CAGE for 37 mouse HCC. The human data are archived at dbGaP (phs000885.v1.p1). An umbrella BioProject has been created to associate the GEO and dbGaP BioProjects: PRJNA278792

View SamplesDirect cell reprogramming has enabled the direct conversion of skin fibroblasts into functional neurons and oligodendrocytes using a minimal set of cell lineage-specific transcription factors. This approach has substantial advantages since it is rapid and simple, generating the cell type of interest in a single step. However, it remains unknown whether this technology can be applied for directly reprogramming skin cells into astrocytes, the third neural lineage. Astrocytes play crucial roles in neuronal homeostasis and their dysfunctions contribute to the origin and progression of multiple human diseases. Herein, we carried out a screening using several transcription factors involved in defining the astroglial cell fate and identified NFIA, NFIB and SOX9 to be sufficient to convert with high efficiency embryonic and post-natal mouse fibroblasts into astrocytes (iAstrocytes). We proved both by gene expression profiling and functional tests that iAstrocytes are comparable to native brain astrocytes. This protocol can be then employed to generate functional iAstrocytes for a wide range of experimental applications.
