Transcriptome analyses of dBRWD3 mutant, and dBRWD3, yem double mutant brain

ABSTRACT: We report the high-throughput profiling of brain RNA from three Drosophila stains: dBRWD3PX2/+, dBRWD3PX2/PX2 and dBRWD3PX2/PX2, yemGS21861/GS21861. By obtaining over 50 million reads of sequence, WE compared the transcriptomic differences among the brains from these three stains. We found that the expression of 871 genes was significantly different between heterozygous control and homozygous dBRWD3 mutant brains (484 upregulated genes, 387 downregulated genes, p<0.05). Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the 871 genes revealed a broad spectrum of biological processes, ranging from synaptic activity to housekeeping metabolism subjective to dBRWD3 regulation. Among the 387 downregulated genes, the expression of 360 genes (92.8%) was increased in the dBRWD3, yem double mutant brains compared with dBRWD3 mutant. Among the 484 upregulated genes, the expression of 412 genes (85.1%) was decreased in the double mutant brains. These differential genes were evenly distributed on X chromosome and autosomes (149 on X, 178 on 2L, 154 on 2R, 166 on 3L, and 207 on 3R). These analyses indicate that dBRWD3 regulates gene expression in the brain mainly through the HIRA/YEM complex. Examination of brain transcriptome in 3 Drosophila strains.

Project description:Liver fibrosis is a common pathological process of various chronic liver diseases that can develop into liver cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a king of non-coding RNA which are closely related to liver diseases. Thus, this research hope to explore the effect of miR-484 on liver fibrosis and reveal its mechanism. The miRNAs profiles were screened by microRNA sequencing and the location of miR-484 was identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in human liver fibrotic tissues. MiR-484 expression was detected by qRT-PCR in rat primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to determine the target gene of miR-484. Liver fibrosis specific signatures were analyzed by qRT-PCR and western blot after miR-484 mimic/inhibitor transfection. The cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The effect of miR-484 silencing on fibrosis in vivo was investigated in thioacetamide (TAA) induced mice model using the adeno-associated virus carrying miR-484 inhibitor. Enrichment of miR-484 was observed in human liver fibrosis tissues and activated rat primary HSCs. FISH showed that miR-484 was prominently located at fibrotic region and the cytoplasm of HSCs in human liver tissues. Dual-luciferase reporter assay verified that the homeodomain-interacting protein kinases 1 (HIPK1) was the direct target of miR-484. After transfecting miR-484 inhibitor into HSC-T6, HIPK1 were significantly up-regulated, and α-SMA, col1a1, Wnt-3a, Wnt-5a, β-catenin and p-β-catenin were down-regulated, suggesting the restrain effect of miR-484 knockdown on HSCs activation. Conversely, the results were opposite with miR-484 mimic transfection. In addition, the apoptosis of HSC-T6 altered significantly after miR-484 modulation. Moreover, adeno-associated virus carrying miR-484 inhibitor alleviated mice liver fibrosis induced by TAA. In conclusion, miR-484 knockdown ameliorates liver fibrosis by promoting the apoptosis and suppressing HSCs activation via blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MiR-484 and its downstream gene HIPK1 might be selected as novel therapeutic targets of liver fibrosis.
