Identification of transformation-related pathways in a breast epithelial cell model using a ribonomics approach.

ABSTRACT: Employing MCT-1 oncogene mediated transformation of immortalized breast epithelial MCF10A cells; we characterized the largely reciprocal association of these two RBPs with target mRNAs and their influence on protein expression vis-à-vis cellular transformation. Using a ribonomics approach, we identified mRNAs from cancer-related pathways whose association with AUF1 and/or HuR were altered when comparing immortalized with transformed MCF10A cells. Significantly, we were able to demonstrate that knockdown of HuR expression using RNA interference, reduced anchorage-independent growth capacity in transformed MCF10A cells as well as decreased protein expression of a number of validated target genes. Our data demonstrate that the global alterations in binding of HuR and AUF1 with target transcripts have a critical role in post-transcriptional regulation of genes encoding proteins involved in breast epithelial cell transformation. In this study, using a microarray approach we demonstrate that the dynamic global changes in association of two RBPs, HuR and AUF1, with cancer-related mRNAs have important influence on cell transformation in a MCT-1-mediated breast epithelial transformation model.

The aberrant expression of many genes is a common feature in the malignant transformation of cells. In mammalian cells, posttranscriptional gene regulatory processes are emerging as critical determinants controlling gene expression both in physiologic and pathologic conditions. These regulatory mechanisms are directed primarily by the interaction of mRNAs with specific RNA-binding proteins (RBP). There is an emerging body of data demonstrating that two RBPs, AUF1 and HuR, can antagonistically af ...[more]

Project description:Despite considerable evidence that RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate mRNA transport and local translation in dendrites, roles for axonal RBPs are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that a nontelomeric isoform of telomere repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2-S) is a novel RBP that regulates axonal plasticity. TRF2-S interacts directly with target mRNAs to facilitate their axonal delivery. The process is antagonized by fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). Distinct from the current RNA-binding model of FMRP, we show that FMRP occupies the GAR domain of TRF2-S protein to block the assembly of TRF2-S-mRNA complexes. Overexpressing TRF2-S and silencing FMRP promotes mRNA entry to axons, and enhances axonal outgrowth and neurotransmitter release from presynaptic terminals. Our findings suggest a pivotal role for TRF2-S in an axonal mRNA localization pathway that enhances axon outgrowth and neurotransmitter release. RNA immunoprecipitated samples using either anti-rat TRF2-S or rabbit IgG antibodies were used to generate biotin-labeled RNA using the Illumina Total Prep RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion), which was hybridized to Illumina's rat Ref-12 Expression BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA), containing 22,523 well-annotated RefSeq transcripts with ~30-fold redundancy. The arrays were scanned using an Illumina BeadStation 500X Genetic Analysis Systems scanner and the image data extracted using Illumina BeadStudio software, version 1.5, normalized by Z-score transformation and used to calculate differences in signal intensities. Significant values were calculated from two groups of independent experiments, using a two-tailed Z-test with P < 0.05, a false discovery rate <0.30, a z ratio absolute value not less than 1.5, and an average signal intensity not less than zero. The results also had to pass the filtering and one-way independent ANOVA test by sample groups less than 0.05, and detection p-value for any probe in the comparison group less than 0.02.

Project description:The mammalian RNA-binding protein AUF1 (AU-binding factor 1, also known as heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D, hnRNP D) binds to numerous mRNAs and influences their post-transcriptional fate. Given that many AUF1 target mRNAs encode muscle-specific factors, we investigated the function of AUF1 in skeletal muscle differentiation. In mouse C2C12 myocytes, where AUF1 levels rise at the onset of myogenesis and remain elevated throughout myocyte differentiation into myotubes, RIP (RNP immunoprecipitation) analysis indicated that AUF1 binds prominently to Mef2c (myocyte enhancer factor 2c) mRNA, which encodes the key myogenic transcription factor Mef2c. By performing mRNA half-life measurements and polysome distribution analysis, we found that AUF1 associated with the 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of Mef2c mRNA and promoted Mef2c translation without affecting Mef2c mRNA stability. In addition, AUF1 promoted Mef2c gene transcription via a lesser-known role of AUF1 in transcriptional regulation. Importantly, lowering AUF1 delayed myogenesis, while ectopically restoring Mef2c expression levels partially rescued the impairment of myogenesis seen after reducing AUF1 levels. We propose that Mef2c is a key effector of the myogenesis program promoted by AUF1.

Differentiation was induced on sub-confluent cultures by replacing the growth media (GM, DMEM with 10% FBS) with differentiation media (DM, DMEM with 2% horse serum). At various time points after differentiation, cells were harvested and RNA was extracted with phenol-chloroform and either saved as input samples for microarrys or subjected to AUF1 or IgG ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation. C2C12 cells cultured in GM and DM were lysed in 20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 0.5% NP-40 for 10 min on ice and centrifuged at 15,000 M-CM-^W g for 10 min at 4M-BM-0C. The supernatants were incubated with protein-A Dynabeads beads coated with anti-AUF1 (Millipore) or with control IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies for 2 hr at 4M-BM-0C. The beads were washed with NT2 buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.05% NP-40), followed by incubation with 20 units of RNase-free DNase I for 15 min at 37M-BM-0C to remove the DNA. The samples were then incubated for 15 min at 55M-BM-0C with 0.1% SDS/0.5 mg/ml Proteinase K to digest proteins. The RNA from the IP samples was extracted using phenol-chloroform, precipitated, and used along with the RNA from the input samples for cDNA microarrays.
