Project description:The mechanism by which rs6983267 at 8q24.21 increases cancer risk is unclear for the lack of protein?coding genes in the region although the variant is strongly associated with cancer pathogenesis. Here we identify long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) near the 8q24 region and show that expression of lncRNA CARLo-5 is significantly correlated with the risk allele of the cancer-associated variant rs6883267. We further report that the 8q24 enhancer region including the variant directly interacts with active regulatory region of the lncRNA CARLo-5 promtoer. Finally, we demonstrate that CARLo-5 has an oncogenic function by regulating cell proliferation and cell-cycle. Our data provide new insight of disease-related variants in a gene desert. Comparison and identification of cell cycle-related genes differentially expressed by CARLo-5 knockdown using Nanostring analysis in HCT116 cells.

Project description:We investigated the innate immune system in the SOD1 ALS model. We found that splenic Ly6CHi monocytes were activated and their progressive recruitment to the spinal cord, but not brain, correlated with neuronal loss. We found a decrease in resident microglia in the spinal cord with disease progression. Two months prior to disease onset, splenic Ly6CHi monocytes had an M1 signature which included increased CCR2. At one month prior to disease onset, microglia expressed increased CCL2 and other chemotaxis-associated molecules. Microglia derived from the spinal cord of SOD1 mice recruited Ly6C+ monocytes to the CNS. Treatment with anti-Ly6C mAb modulated the Ly6CHi monocyte cytokine profile, reduced monocyte recruitment to the spinal cord, diminished neuronal loss and extended survival. In humans with ALS, CD14+/CD16- monocytes (analogue of Ly6CHi monocytes) exhibited an ALS specific microRNA inflammatory signature similar to that observed in the SOD1 mouse providing a direct link between the animal model and the human disease. Thus, the SOD1-like profile of monocytes in ALS subjects may serve as a biomarker for disease stage or progression. Our results suggest that recruitment of inflammatory monocytes plays an important role in disease progression and that modulation of these cells is a potential therapeutic approach This study used the NanoString nCounter hybridization system and the Nanostring GX Human Immunology and Nanostring Human Inflammation assays to identify and quantitate immune-related genes in blood CD14+CD16- monocytes from ALS, MS and HC subjects Total RNA was isolated from FACS sorted CD14+CD16- blood-derived monocytes from sporadic sALS (n=10), fALS (n=4) and HC (n=10) subjects. RNA was profiled using the Nanostring GX Human Immunology and Nanostring Human Inflammation assays

Project description:Numerous studies have described the altered expression and the causal role of miRNAs in human cancer. However, to date efforts to modulate miRNA levels for therapeutic purposes have been challenging to implement. Here, we find that Nucleolin (NCL), a major nucleolar protein, post-transcriptionally regulates the expression of a specific subset of miRNAs, including miR-21, miR-221, miR-222, and miR-103, causally involved in breast cancer initiation, progression and drug-resistance. We also show that NCL is commonly overexpressed in human breast tumors, and its expression correlates with that of NCL-dependent miRNAs. Finally, this study indicates that NCL-binding guanosine-rich aptamers affect the levels of NCL-dependent miRNAs and their target genes, reducing breast cancer cell aggressiveness, both in vitro and in vivo. These findings illuminate a path to novel therapeutic approaches based on NCL-targeting aptamers for the modulation of miRNA expression in the treatment of breast cancer. HeLa cells were transfected with the control or anti-nucleolin siRNA. After 72hours total RNA was collected and analyzed by NanoString.

Project description:We generated H460 cells with acquired TRAIL resistance by exposing the parental sentisitve cells to subtoxic concentrations of TRAIL for 6 months. Then we compared the microRNA expression profile in the sensitive versus resistant cells. H460 cells were treated with subtoxic concentrations of TRAIL for 6 month. After confirmation of the resistance, the RNA was extracted and the microRNA expression profile was analyzed using the NanoString technology.

Project description:Modification of microRNA sequences by the 3' addition of nucleotides to generate so-called “isomiRs” adds to the complexity of miRNA function, with recent reports showing that 3' modifications can influence miRNA stability and efficiency of target repression. Here we show that the 3' modification of miRNAs is a physiological and common post-transcriptional event that shows selectivity for specific miRNAs and is observed across species ranging from C. elegans to human. The modifications result predominantly from adenylation and uridylation, and are seen across tissue types, disease states, and developmental stages. To quantitatively profile 3' nucleotide additions, we developed and validated a novel assay based on NanoString Technologies' nCounter platform. For certain miRNAs, the frequency of modification was altered by processes such as cell differentiation, indicating that 3' modification is a biologically regulated process. To investigate the mechanism of 3' nucleotide additions, we used RNA interference to screen a panel of eight candidate miRNA nucleotidyl transferases for 3' miRNA modification activity in human cells. Multiple enzymes, including PAPD1, PAPD4, PAPD5, ZCCHC6, ZCCHC11, and TUT1, were found to govern 3' nucleotide addition to miRNAs in a miRNA-specific manner. Three of these enzymes–PAPD1, ZCCHC6 and TUT1–have not previously been known to modify miRNAs. Collectively, our results indicate that 3' modification observed in next generation small RNA sequencing data is a biologically relevant process, and identify enzymatic mechanisms that may lead to new approaches for modulating miRNA activity in vivo. RNA was isolated from undifferentiated or differentiated H1 human embryonic cells as previously described (Bar et al, 2008). Two biological replicates of undifferentiated and differentiated cell RNA was profiled on the NanoString nCounter miRNA expression assay adapted to discriminate miRNA 3' variants.

Four biological replicates of cells treated with the negative control siRNA directed against Cyclophilin B were profiled. Two biological replicates of cells treated individually with siRNAs targeting each of eight nucleotidyl transferases were profiled.
