        A Multiplex Sensitive Quantification of MicroRNAs Based on Competitive PCR

        Maochun Wang,Li Tong,Sijia Wang,Kai Li,Junhua Xiao,Yuxun Zhou 한국생물공학회 2017 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.22 No.1

        MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous ~22 nt RNAs that play important regulatory roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or gene silencing. Although quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) had been widely used for miRNAs quantification, a multiplex quantification method is demanding. In this study, we successfully detected 2 miRNAs (miR-505-3p and miR- 21a-5p) and an internal control (miR-16-5p) with only one reaction based on competitive PCR (cPCR) with high sensitivity. For each miRNA, two stem-loop reverse transcription (RT) primers were designed to produce two different templates: the competitor cDNA and the target cDNA, which had similar sequences except for 3 nucleotides different in length. RNA from a control sample was reverse transcribed with the competitive RT primers of multiple genes. Samples for test were reverse transcribed with target RT primers to obtain target cDNAs. Target cDNA was mixed with competitor cDNA to be used as the template for a multiplex fluorescent cPCR reaction. The cPCR products were separated on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with ABI 377 DNA sequencer and each fluorescent peak was quantified by its intensity. In this method, we compared the expression level of miR-505-3p in two tissues (thalamus and tail) between C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ mice. The results showed that in the thalamus, which had high abundance of miR-505-3p, both cPCR and SYBR Green based qRT-PCR provided a sensitive quantification outcome. However, in the tail, which had extremely low level of miR-505-3p, it could be steadily detected by cPCR even after 8 times dilution with a relatively high sensitivity, while qRT-PCR can’t detect any product only after 2 times dilution. The variation as low as 12.2% between samples could be clarified by cPCR, which could not be accomplished by qRT-PCR. This method enables multiplex, accurate and sensitive quantification of miRNAs with fewer precious RNA samples than qRT-PCR.

        Characterization of the dynamic change of microRNA expression in mice hypothalamus during the time of female puberty

        Gideon Omariba,Li Tong,Maochun Wang,Kai Li,Yuxun Zhou,Junhua Xiao 한국유전학회 2018 Genes & Genomics Vol.40 No.3

        Puberty onset is a milestone in sexual development. A tumor suppress gene (TSG) network had been reported to be involved in the regulation of female puberty onset. The observations in rodents and primates showed a potential link between microRNAs and puberty onset. To figure out what miRNAs play roles in this important biological process, profilings of microRNAs in the hypothalamus of female mice from three different pubertal stages, juvenile [postnatal day (P10)], early pubertal (P25) and pubertal (P30) were performed on the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 Arrays, the cerebral cortex (CTX) was used as a control tissue. 20 miRNAs were shown to be differentially expressed in hypothalamus (fold change > 1.5, P < 0.05), but not in CTX during the transition from juvenile to pubertal. Four of them were validated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRTPCR) method. 1018 genes were predicted as the targets of these miRNAs. Further bioinformatics analysis suggested that these target genes were involved in many important signaling pathways, especially in the cancer related pathways. We also found that about 90% of these target genes were expressed in the hypothalamus, as well as in the immortalized GnRH-producing GT1-7 cells, which provided additional evidence that these miRNAs could be female puberty onset related. Here we present a novel comprehensive data set of miRNA gene expression during the puberty onset; and it provides an important recourse for the future functional characterization of individual miRNAs and their targets in mouse hypothalamus and in GT1-7 cells.
