MitomiR profiling of mitochondria extracted from monocytic cell line

MiRNAs play pivotal roles in regulating macrophage functions, including differentiation, polarization, recruitment, and activation of inflammation. in this review, to provide novel insight into macrophage differentiation-specific mitomiR signatures and associated mitochondrial pathways, we performed a global miRNA profiling on extracted mitochondria and total cell content of human macrophages. The THP-1 monocytic cell line was treated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) to induce differentiation into macrophages The human monocytic cell line THP-1 cells were differentiated into THP-1 derived macrophages with 40 ng/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA),The mitochondrial fraction of the cells were enriched and purified using anti-TOM22 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). After total RNA extraction, and using Taqman low-density arrays (TLDA), we performed the global miRNA profiling on extracted mitochondria and compared with total cell content qPCR miRNA expression profiling of 4 samples.
