Description
Several studies indicate that adult stem cells may improve the recovery from acute tissue injury. It has been suggested that they may contribute to tissue regeneration by the release of paracrine factors promoting proliferation of tissue resident cells. However, the factors involved remain unknown. In the present study we found that microvesicles (MV) derived from human liver stem cells (HLSC) were able to stimulate in vitro proliferation and apoptosis resistance of human and rat hepatocytes. These effects required internalization of MV in the hepatocytes by an alpha4 integrin-dependent mechanism. However, when treated with RNase, MV despites their internalization were unable to induce hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis resistance, suggesting an RNA dependent effect. Microarray analysis and quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that MV were shuttling a specific subset of cellular mRNA, such as mRNA associated in the control of transcription, translation, proliferation and apoptosis. When administered in vivo, MV were found to accelerate the morphological and functional recovery of liver in a model of 70% hepatectomy in rats by inducing an hepatocytes proliferation that was abolished by RNase treatment. Using human AGO2 gene, which is shuttled by MV, as a reporter gene, we found the expression of human AGO2 mRNA and protein in the liver of hepatectomized rats treated with MV. This suggest a translation of the MV shuttled mRNA within hepatocytes of treated rats. Conclusion: these results suggest that MV derived from HLSC may activate a proliferative program in remnant hepatocytes after hepatectomy by a horizontal transfer of specific mRNA subsets.

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. Overall design: RNA-seq

Description
Administration of exogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been shown to improve the recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI). It has been suggested that the beneficial effect of MSCs is related to the paracrine release of factors favouring proliferation of intrinsic epithelial cells survived to injury rather than to their trans-differentiation. However the factors involved remain to be determined. In the present study we demonstrated that microvesicles (MVs) derived from human bone marrow MSCs are able to stimulate in vitro proliferation and apoptosis resistance of tubular epithelial cells (TEC). In addition, MVs were found to accelerate in vivo the morphological and functional recovery of glycerol induced AKI in SCID mice by inducing TEC proliferation. The effect of MVs on the recovery of AKI was comparable to that of human MSC treatment. In vitro we found that the CD44 and beta1-integrin-dependent incorporation of MVs in TEC was required for their biological action. However, despite their internalization, RNase-treated MVs failed to induce in vitro apoptosis resistance and TEC proliferation, and in vivo recovery from AKI, suggesting an RNA-dependent biological effect. Microarray analysis and quantitative RT-PCR of MV-RNA extract indicated that MVs were shuttling a specific subset of cellular mRNA, such as mRNA associated with the mesenchymal differentiative phenotype and with several cell functions involved in the control of transcription, proliferation, apoptosis and cell immune regulation. These results suggest that MVs derived from MSCs may activate a proliferative program in TEC survived to injury in AKI by an horizontal transfer of mRNA.

Description
miR-155 is a microRNA associated with poor prognosis in lymphoma and leukemia and has been implicated in the progression of Mycosis Fungoides (MF), the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In this study, we developed and tested Cobomarsen (MRG-106), a locked nucleic acid-modified oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155. In MF cell lines in vitro, inhibition of miR-155 with Cobomarsen de-repressed direct miR-155 targets, decreased expression of multiple gene pathways associated with cell survival, reduced survival signaling, decreased cell proliferation, and activated apoptosis.
Publication Title
Cobomarsen, an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155, co-ordinately regulates multiple survival pathways to reduce cellular proliferation and survival in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Heat acclimation (AC) allows its faster re-induction following its decline. Constitutively preserved euchromatin state in hsp70 promoter during acclimation decline/regain pushed forward the hypothesis that acclimation decline is a period of dormant memory involving molecular program including epigenetic controlled transcriptional regulation leading to heat acclimation mediated cytoprotective memory.

Description
An improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of brain metastases, one of the most common and devastating complications of advanced melanoma, may identify and prioritize rational therapeutic approaches for this disease. In particular, the identification of molecular differences between brain and extracranial metastases would support the need for the development of organ-specific therapeutic approaches. Hotspot mutations, copy number variations (CNV), global mRNA expression patterns, and protein expression and activation, quantitatively analyzed by molecular inversion probe arrays, microarrays and reverse phase protein array (RPPA) were evaluated in pairs of melanoma brain metastases and extracranial metastases from patients who had undergone surgical resection for both types of tumors.
