Project description:In animals, microRNAs frequently form families with related sequences. The functional relevance of miRNA families and the relative contribution of family members to target repression have remained, however, largely unexplored. Here, we used the C. elegans miR-58 miRNA family, comprised primarily of four highly abundant members: miR-58.1, miR-80, miR-81 and miR-82, as a model to investigate the redundancy of miRNA family members and their impact on target expression in an in vivo setting. RNA was extracted from different miR-58 family mutants (mir-58.1, mir-80; mir-58.1 and mir-80; mir-58.1; mir-81-82) and wild-type Bristol C. elegans strain at late L4 stage and submitted to transcriptome sequencing with Illumina HiSeq2000. The goal was to compare miR-58 target RNA expression and system-wide perturbations across various samples.

The goal was to see whether miR-58 family members can compensate each other's expression.

Project description:The identification of miRNAs’ targets and associated regulatory networks might allow the definition of new strategies using drugs whose association might mimic a given miRNA’s effects. Based on this assumption our group devised a multi-omics approach in an attempt to precisely characterize miRNAs’ effects. We combined the analysis of miR-491-5p direct targets, and effects at the transcriptomic and proteomic levels. We thus constructed an interaction network which enlightened highly connected nodes, being either direct or indirect targets of miR-491-5p effects: the already known EGFR and BCL2L1, but also EP300, CTNNB1 and several small-GTPases. By using different combinations of specific inhibitors of these nodes, we could greatly enhance their respective cytotoxicity and mimic miR-491-5p-induced phenotype. Our methodology thus constitutes an interesting strategy to comprehensively study the effects of a given miRNA. Also, we identified targets for which pharmacological inhibitors are already available for a clinical use, or in clinical trial phases. This study might thus enable innovative therapeutic options for ovarian cancer, which remains the first cause of death from gynecological malignancies in developed countries.

Project description:Next to genetic alterations, it is being recognized that the cellular environment also acts as a major determinant in onset and progression of disease. In cases where different cell types contribute to the final disease outcome, this imposes environmental challenges as different cell types likely differ in their extracellular dependencies. A number of skin diseases, including psoriasis is characterized by a combination of keratinocyte hyperproliferation and immune cell activation. Activation of immune cells involves increased glucose consumption thereby intrinsicly limiting glucose availability for other cell types. Thus, these type of skin diseases require metabolic adaptations that enable coexistence between hyperproliferative keratinocytes and activated immune cells in a nutrient-limited environment. Hsa-microRNA-31-5p (miR-31) is highly expressed in keratinocytes within the psoriatic skin. Here we show that miR-31 expression in keratinocytes is induced by limited glucose availability and enables increased survival of keratinocytes under limiting glucose conditions, by increasing glutamine metabolism. In addition, miR-31 induced glutamine metabolism results in secretion of specific metabolites (aspartate and glutamate) but also secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. We show that this miR-31-induced secretory phenotype is sufficient to induce Th17 cell differentiation, a hallmark of psoriasis. Inhibition of glutaminase (GLS) using CB-839 impedes miR31-induced metabolic rewiring and secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. Concordantly, pharmacological targeting of GLS alleviated psoriasis pathology in a mouse model of psoriasis. Together our data illustrate an emerging concept of metabolic interaction across cell compartments that characterizes disease development, which can be employed to design effective treatment options for disease, as shown here for psoriasis.

Project description:To understand the extent that Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) regulated its target proteins at the transcription level, transcriptomic change was profiled in yeast cells upon Hsp90 compromising. We genetically modified the R1158 strain (resulting genotype of mutant strain: TETp-HSC82 hsp82Δ arg4Δ lys5Δ car2Δ::URA3) and then reduced the Hsp90 amount with doxycycline treatment. Fold change of mRNA from untreated to treated cells indicated the transcriptomic change. Totally, we identified 1104 genes mis-regulated with a fold change of no less than 1.5 (P <0.05) upon Hsp90 compromising. Two-condition experiment, treated vs. untreated cells. Biological duplicates, independently grown and harvested. Technical triplicates for RNA isolation.

Project description:To identify microRNAs impacting estrogen receptor ERα expression in breast cancer, we have screened ER-positive breast cancer cells with a library of pre-miRs, and systematically monitored the ERα expression by protein lysate microarrays. There was a significant enrichment of the in silico predicted ERα targeting microRNAs among the hits. The most potent pre-miRs miR-18a/b, miR-193b, miR-206, and miR-302c, were confirmed to directly target ERα and to repress estrogen-responsive genes. The effect of miRNA overexpression on gene expression profile of MCF-7 cells was studied. Furthermore, miR-18a and miR-18b showed increased expression in ERα-negative as compared to ERα-positive clinical tumors. In summary, we present systematic and direct functional and correlative clinical evidence on microRNAs inhibiting ERα signaling in breast cancer. MCF-7 cells (300 000 per well on 6-well plates) were transfected with an siRNA for ERα or with Ambion pre-miR� constructs for miR-18a, miR-193b, miR-206, miR-302c, or pre-miR negative control #1 (scrambled pre-miR) at 20 nM, and incubated for 24h.

Project description:Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is an important endogenous factor for photoreceptor protection. Lif is known to be upregulated both in induced and inherited disease models of photoreceptor degeneration only in a subset of Muller cells. Since Lif is induced in Muller cells in response to photoreceptor injury, we studied its regulation in Muller cells. We have recently identified several AU-rich elements (AREs) within the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of Lif . We also showed that as a result of these elements Lif encodes a highly unstable mRNA. mRNAs containing AREs in the 3`UTR undergo rapid ARE-mediated mRNA decay in the cytoplasm which is mediated by the RNA–binding proteins. In order to identify the RNA-binding proteins that are involved in the regulation of Lif transcripts, we will use the biotin-labelled RNA. By using this methodology, we will isolate the related RNA binding proteins. We plan to analyze the isolated proteins by mass spectrometry, and compare the mass spectrometry results of different regions with or without AREs . Once we identify the specific proteins that bind only to AREs, we will do the functional characterization of these proteins by cotransfecting the constructs with AREs and the siRNA that inhibits the expression of related RNA binding protein.

Project description:Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is a potent inhibitor of experimental mammary carcinogenesis and may be an effective, safe chemopreventive agent for use in humans. SFN acts in part on the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway to regulate a battery of cytoprotective genes. In this study transcriptomic and proteomic changes in the estrogen receptor negative, non tumorigenic human breast epithelial MCF10A cell line were analyzed following SFN treatment or KEAP1 knockdown with siRNA using microarray and stable isotopic labeling with amino acids in culture (SILAC), respectively. Changes in selected transcripts and proteins were confirmed by PCR and Western blot in MCF10A and MCF12A cells. There was strong correlation between the transcriptomic and proteomic responses in both the SFN treatment (R=0.679, P<0.05) and KEAP1 knockdown (R=0.853, P<0.05) experiments. Common pathways for SFN treatment and KEAP1 knockdown were xenobiotic metabolism and antioxidants, glutathione metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and NADH/NADPH regeneration. Moreover, these pathways were most prominent in both the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. The aldo-keto reductase family members, AKR1B10, AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3, as well as NQO1 and ALDH3A1, were highly upregulated at both the transcriptomic and proteomic level. Collectively, these studies served to identify potential biomarkers that can be used in clinical trials to investigate the initial pharmacodynamic action of SFN in the breast. MCF10A cells were treated with SFN or had KEAP1 knocked down by siRNA.
