Project description:This study annotates the NGS reads in a Sertoli cell sncRNA library. In addition to known sncRNAs, we also identified numerous novel sncRNAs expressed by Sertoli cells. Our data suggest that the Sertoli cell sncRNA transcriptome predominantly consists of miRNAs, piRNA-like RNAs, tRNAs and snoRNAs. This study reports the first comprehensive annotation of the Sertoli cell sncRNA transcriptome. Sertoli cells were purified from post-natal day 6 C57Bl/6 mice using the STAPUT unit gravity sedimentation apparatus. Small RNA was isolated from cells and a cDNA library was generated for 454 sequencing. Sequences from FastA files were initially mapped to known sequences and the genome and subsequently annotated upon novel small RNA categorization.

Project description:Illumina sequencing was employed to examine the expression profiles of rice anther miRNAs from the a non-pollen male sterile line Wuxiang S (WXS), one of photo-thermo sensitive genical male sterile (PTGMS) line rice, during in the fertility transition stage. A total of 493 known miRNAs and 273 novel miRNAs were identified during rice anther development. Based on the number of sequencing reads, a total of 26 miRNAs were discovered to be significant difference expression between WXS(S, Sterility) and WXS(F, Fertility), and the results were partially validated by qRT-PCR. Among these, 11 miRNAs were decreased and 15 miRNAs were increased in WXS(S) compared with WXS(F). The expression patterns for targets of osa-miR156a-j, osa-miR3879, osa-miR159c/d/e, osa-miR171a/c/e/i, osa-miR398b, osa-miR164d, osa-miR528 and osa-miR408 were selectively examined, and the results showed that there was a negative correlation on the expression patterns between miRNAs and their targets. These targets have previously been reported to be related with pollen development and male sterility, suggesting that miRNAs might act as regulators of rice anthers. Furthermore, miRNA editing events were observed. The U-to-C and U-to-A editing phenomenon was validated by molecular cloning and sequencing.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of functional non-coding small RNA with 19-25 nucleotides in length. Amur grape (Vitis amurensis Rupr.) is an important wild fruit crop with the strongest cold resistance in the Vitis genus and is used as an excellent breeding parent for grapevine, and with growing interest in terms of wine production. To date, there is a relatively large number of grapevine miRNAs (vv-miRNAs) from cultivated grapevine varieties such as Vitis vinifera L. and hybrids of V. vinifera and V. labrusca, but there is no report on miRNAs from Vitis amurensis Rupr, a wild grapevine species. In this study, a small RNA library from Amur grapes was constructed and Solexa technology used to perform deep sequencing of the library followed by subsequent bioinformatics analysis to identify new miRNAs. In total, 126 conserved miRNA belonging to 27 miRNA families were identified, and 34 known but non-conserved miRNAs were also found. Significantly, 72 new potential Amur grapevine-specific miRNAs were discovered. The sequences of these new potential va-miRNAs were further validated through miR-RACE, accumulation of 18 new va-miRNAs in seven tissues of grapevines were also confirmed by real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis, and expression levels of va-miRNAs in flowers and berries were basically consistent in identity to those from deep sequenced sRNAs libraries of independent corresponding tissues. We also describe the conservation and variation of va-miRNAs using miR-SNPs and miR-LDs during plant evolution based on comparison of orthologous sequences, and revealed the number and sites of miR-SNP of diverse miRNA families exhibited distinct divergence. Finally, 346 target genes for the new miRNAs were predicted and they include a number of Amur grapevine stress tolerance genes and many genes regulating anthocyanin systhesis and sugar metabolism. Deep sequencing of short RNAs from Amur grapes flowers and fruits identified 72 new potential miRNAs and 34 known but non-conserved miRNAs, indicating that specific miRNAs exist in Amur grapes. These results show that a number of regulatory miRNAs exist in Amur grapes and play an important role in Amur grape growth, development, and response to abiotic or biotic stress. High throughput sequencing was employed to identify miRNAs in Amur grapevine and try to describe their functions in Amur grapevine growth and development.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally, play multiple key roles in plant growth and development and the stress response. Knowledge of and the roles of miRNAs in pomegranate fruit development have not been explored. Results: Pomegranate, which accumulates a large amount of anthocyanins in skin and arils, is valuable to human health, mainly because of antioxidant properties. In this study, we developed a small RNA library from pooled RNA samples from young seedling to matured fruits and identified both conserved and pomegranate-specific miRNA from 29,948,480 high-quality reads. For the pool of 15- to 30-nt small RNAs, ~50% were 24 nt. The miR157 family was the most abundant, followed by miR156, miR160, and miR159, with many variants within each family. The base bias at the first position from the 5â end has a strong preference for U for most 18- to 26-nt miRNAs but a preference for A for 18-nt miRNAs. In addition, for all 24-nt miRNAs, the nucleotide U is preferred (97%) in the first position. RT-qPCR was used to validate the expression of the predominant miRNA families in leaves, male and female flowers, and multiple fruit developmental stages; miR156, miR156-v1, miR159, miR159-v1, and miR319 were upregulated during the later stages of fruit development. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway analyses revealed predominant metabolic processes and catalytic activities, important for fruit development. In addition, KEGG pathway analyses revealed the involvement of miRNAs in ascorbate and linolenic acid, starch and sucrose metabolism; RNA transport; plant hormone signaling pathways; and circadian clock. Conclusion: Pomegranate largely contains anthocyanin, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which play critical roles in treating cancer, Alzheimer disease, and preventing heart attacks. Our first and preliminary report of novel miRNAs provides information on the biochemical compounds of pomegranate for future research. The functions of the targets of these novel miRNAs need further investigation. Profiling of miRNAs in pomegranate using Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders affect millions of people worldwide, yet remain poorly treated due to insufficient knowledge of the molecular networks controlling GI motility. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are critical GI pacemaker cells, and abnormalities in ICC are implicated in GI motility disorders. Nevertheless, human ICC are poorly characterised, largely due to difficulties in accessing sufficient numbers for research. Two cell surface proteins have been identified as ICC markers: the receptor tyrosine kinase, KIT; and the calcium-activated chloride channel, Anoctamin-1 (ANO1). Anti-KIT antibodies have been used to purify mouse ICC via flow cytometry. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of KIT-sorted, primary human gastric ICC to better understand networks controlling human ICC biology.

Project description:Paternal exposure to a range of environmental and lifestyle factors elicits distinct changes to the sperm sncRNA profile; modifications that have significant post-fertilization consequences. Despite this knowledge, there remains limited mechanistic understanding of how paternal exposures effect the sperm sncRNA landscape. Here, we report the acute sensitivity of the sperm sncRNA profile to the potent reproductive toxicant, acrylamide. Further, we traced the differential accumulation of acrylamide responsive sncRNAs to coincide with sperm transit of the proximal (caput) segment of the epididymis, wherein acrylamide exposure altered the expression of several transcription factors implicated in the expression of acrylamide-sensitive sncRNAs. We also identified extracellular vesicles secreted from the caput epithelium in relaying altered sncRNA profiles to maturing spermatozoa, the implications of which manifest in the form of dysregulated gene expression during early embryonic development. These data provide a causative mechanistic link to account for how environmental insults can alter the sperm epigenome and compromise the transcriptomic profile of early embryos

Project description:Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in the mammalian genome play diverse roles in embryonic development. These development-related ERVs are generally repressed in somatic cells and are therefore likely repressed in embryos derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). In this study, we sought to identify ERVs that are repressed in SCNT-derived morula embryos, which may consequently cause previously unexplained embryonic deaths shortly after implantation. Our transcriptome analysis revealed that, amongst ERV families, ERVK was specifically and strongly downregulated in SCNT embryos while other transposable elements including LINE and ERVL were unchanged. Among subfamilies of ERVK, RLTR45-int was most repressed in SCNT embryos despite its highest expression in control fertilized embryos. Interestingly, the nearby genes (within 5–50 kb, n = 19) of the repressed RLTR45-int loci were also repressed in SCNT embryos with a significant correlation between them. Furthermore, lysine H3K27 acetylation was enriched around the RLTR45-int loci. These findings indicate that RLTR45-int elements function as enhancers of nearby genes. Indeed, deletion of two sequential RLTR45-int loci on chromosome 4 or 18 resulted in downregulations of nearby genes at the morula stage. We also found that RLTR45-int loci, especially SCNT-low, enhancer-like loci, were strongly enriched with H3K9me3, a repressive histone mark. Importantly, these H3K9me3-enriched regions were resistant to histone demethylase Kdm4d in SCNT embryos. Thus, we identified ERVK subfamily RLTR45-int, putative enhancer elements, as a strong reprogramming barrier for SCNT. A large-scale downregulations of their regulating genes in SCNT morulae might cumulatively affect postimplantation development of SCNT embryos.
