Project description:To determine whether DGCR8 is required for maturation of all miRNAs, we performed miRNA microarray analysis. Using RNA from wild-type ES cells as our reference sample, we observed a global loss of miRNAs in DGCR8 knockout cells, but normal levels of expression in DGCR8 heterozygous cells. The similarity in expression levels between wild-type and heterozygous cells suggests that DGCR8 is not limiting in the maintenance of steady-state levels of miRNAs in ES cells. Of the eighty-nine miRNA array probes that showed significant signals with wild-type RNA, eighty-two were drastically reduced in the DGCR8 knockout cells. The remaining seven were not significantly altered in the DGCR8 knockout cells, but at least four of these seven miRNAs appear to be due to unavoidable contamination with RNA from the mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells used for ES cell culture prior to the isolation of RNA. These miRNAs were highly expressed in the MEFs and decreased when the ES cells were temporarily passaged on gelatin-coated plates without feeders. The remaining three showed similar levels of expression in the heterozygous, knockout and MEF feeder cells. Therefore, these signals may be small RNAs that are not processed with the help of the microprocessor complex. Alternatively, these signals may result from unavoidable degradation products within the purified small RNA population. In either case, our results show that DGCR8 is broadly required for miRNA processing with little evidence for redundancy or bypass mechanisms. Keywords: cell type comparison, genetic modification MicroRNAs extracted from wild-type, DGCR8 heterozygous knockout and DGCR8 homozygous knockout were analyzed by microarray. In each array, wild-type samples serve as reference. Ratios were normalized based on positive control RNAs on the array. To determine if some of signals appeared in DGCR8 knockout ES cells are due to mice embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cell contamination (this is unavoidable because these ES cells were grown on MEFs and passaged off MEF before RNA extraction). Two independent DGCR8 knockout ES cell lines were analyzed. For each cell line, array hybridization was done in duplicates. For DGCR8 heterozygous knockout ES cells, two independent batches of RNA samples were prepared and analyzed.

Project description:Dgcr8 and Dicer are both important components of the microRNA biogenesis pathway while Dicer is also implicated in biogenesis of other types of small RNAs such as siRNAs and mirtrons. Here we performed microarray analysis of WT, Dgcr8 and Dicer knockout ES cells to identify mRNAs differentially regulated upon loss of Dgcr8 and Dicer.

Project description:DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) is a critical component of the canonical microprocessor complex for microRNA biogenesis. However, the non-canonical functions of DGCR8 have not been studied. Here, we demonstrate that DGCR8 plays an important role in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating aging. An N-terminal-truncated version of DGCR8 (DR8dex2) accelerated senescence in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) independent of its miRNA-processing activity, which is mediated by its C-terminal domains. Further studies revealed that DGCR8 maintained heterochromatin organization by interacting with the nuclear envelope protein Lamin B1, and heterochromatin-associated proteins, KAP1 and HP1 Overexpression of any of these proteins, including DGCR8, reversed premature senescent phenotypes in DR8dex2 hMSCs. Finally, DGCR8 was downregulated in pathologically and naturally aged hMSCs, whereas DGCR8 overexpression alleviated hMSC aging and osteoarthritis in mice. Taken together, these analyses uncovered a novel, miRNA processing-independent role for DGCR8 in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating senescence. DGCR8 may therefore represent a new therapeutic target for alleviating human aging-related disorders.

Project description:The Microprocessor complex (DGCR8/Drosha) is required for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis but also binds and regulates the stability of several types of cellular RNAs. Of particular interest, DGCR8 controls the stability of mature small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) transcripts independently of Drosha, suggesting the existence of alternative DGCR8 complex/es with other nucleases to process a variety of cellular RNAs. Here, we found that DGCR8 co-purifies with subunits of the nuclear exosome, preferentially associating with its hRRP6-containing nucleolar form. Importantly, we demonstrate that DGCR8 is essential for the recruitment of the exosome to snoRNAs and to human telomerase RNA. In addition, we show that the DGCR8/exosome complex controls the stability of the human telomerase RNA component (hTR/TERC). Altogether, these data suggests that DGCR8 acts as a novel adaptor to recruit the exosome complex to structured RNAs and induce their degradation.

Project description:Ars2 is a component of the nuclear cap-binding complex that is required for cellular proliferation and contributes to microRNA biogenesis. Arrays were performed to determine the repertoire of genes that change following knock-down of Ars2. Knock-down of DGCR8 was also performed to determine which changes in Ars2 knock-down cells resulted from defects in microRNA expression. 9 samples were analyzed including: three biological replicates of control siRNA-transfected HeLa cells, HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting Ars2, or HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting DGCR8.
