Project description:Effects of Nipped-B and Rad21 sister chromatid cohesin proteins on gene expression data in ML-DmBG3 cells derived from Drosophila melanogaster larval central nervous system; We examined the effects of Nipped-B and Rad21 knockdown on gene expression in BG3 cells using microarrays that measure over 18,700 transcripts to (a) determine if the effects of cohesion on E(spl)-C and invected-engrailed expression are unique, (b) look for effects of cohesin on regulators of E(spl)-C and engrailed, and (c) obtain a comprehensive view of the effects of cohesin on gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: Effects of cohesin knockdown on E(spl)-C and invected-engrailed transcription vary over time, so we used two independent samples for three days after RNAi treatment, one four day and one six day sample for both Nipped-B and Rad21 knockdown, and mock RNAi controls for each time point. Experiment Overall Design: For RNAi treatment, cells were plated at 5x106 cells per 3 cm well. Media was replaced with 1 ml of Express Five SFM (Invitrogen) with 1% FCS, and 10 micrograms per ml insulin. The indicated amount of dsRNA was added per well. Media was adjusted to 3 ml and 10% FCS with Schneiderâs media after 2 hrs. Cells were replated as needed. Templates for dsRNA synthesis were made by PCR from cDNA templates using primers with T7 promoters (see supplementary file linked below). Equal amounts of two dsRNAs against each target were used.

Project description:Mosquitoes host and pass on to humans a variety of disease-causing pathogens such as infectious viruses and other parasitic microorganisms. The emergence and spread of insecticide resistance is threatening the effectiveness of current control measures for common mosquito vector borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue and Zika. Therefore, the emerging resistance to the widely used pyrethroid insecticides is an alarming problem for public health. Among the new approaches implemented for pest control, one of the most promising is RNA interference (RNAi). The aim of this study was to provide a feasible RNAi solution that can be applied on wild pyrethroid resistant mosquito populations in the near future. To achieve this, high dsRNA efficacy at economic quantities is required. It is recognized that the sodium channel transcript variability governs its functional diversity including the emergence of insecticide resistance. Therefore, to maximize the RNAi effect, we tiled a number of overlapping dsRNA constructs that together target about half of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) transcript variants annotated in this work. This strategy provided a refined dsRNA trigger that increased mortality with a three-fold decrease in dsRNA amounts compared to the primary VGSC dsRNA construct. Thus, we demonstrated the use of RNA interference (RNAi) to increase susceptibility of adult mosquitoes to a widely used pyrethroid insecticide. Small RNA sequences from 5 mosquitoes treated with Random or VGSC dsRNAs were generated using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Project description:Signaling pathways are controlled by a vast array of post-translational mechanisms. By contrast, little is known regarding the mechanisms that regulate the expression of their core components. We conducted an RNAi screen in Drosophila for factors modulating RAS/MAPK signaling and identified the Exon Junction Complex (EJC) as a novel key element of this pathway. The EJC binds the exon-exon junctions of mRNAs, and thus far, has been linked exclusively to post-splicing events. Here, we report that the EJC is required for proper splicing of mapk transcripts by a mechanism that apparently controls exon definition. Moreover, whole transcriptome and RT-PCR analyses of EJC-depleted cells revealed that the splicing of long intron-containing genes, which includes mapk, is sensitive to EJC activity. These results identify a role for the EJC in the splicing of a subset of transcripts and suggest that RAS/MAPK signaling depends on the regulation of MAPK levels by the EJC. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) of Drosophila S2 cells to monitor the effect of EJC depletion on the cellular mRNA expression profile. Each treatment (dsRNA knockdown of MAGO (CG9401), dsRNA knockdown of eIF4AIII (CG7483)) was done in biological duplicate and each sample was sequenced separately on a quad slide on the SOLiD 3.0 platform. The reference samples were treated with a dsRNA targeted to GFP.

Project description:The exosome complex and its' subunits are vital for proccessing and or degrading many cellular RNAs. We used microarrays to detail the global changes in mRNA levels in response to exosome subunit depletion. RNA was extracted from dsRNA treated S2 cells and hybridized using Affymetrix microarrays. We aimed to obtain a master set of mRNAs surveyed by exosme subunits in vivo.

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster expresses three classes of small RNAs, which are classified according to their mechanisms of biogenesis. MicroRNAs are ~22-23-nt, ubiquitously expressed small RNAs that are sequentially processed from hairpin-like precursors by Drosha/Pasha and Dcr-1/Loquacious complexes. MicroRNAs usually associate with AGO1 and regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) of ~24-28-nt associate with Piwi-family proteins and can arise from single-stranded precursors. piRNAs function in transposon silencing and are mainly restricted to gonadal tissues. Endo-siRNAs are found in both germline and somatic tissues. These ~21-nt RNAs are produced by a distinct Dicer, Dcr-2, and do not depend on Drosha/Pasha complexes. They predominantly bind to AGO2 and target both mobile elements and protein-coding genes. Surprisingly, a subset of endo-siRNAs strongly depend for their production on the dsRNA-binding protein Loquacious (Loqs), thought generally to be a partner for Dcr-1 and a co-factor for miRNA biogenesis. Endo-siRNA production depends on a specific Loqs isoform, Loqs-PD, which is distinct from the one, Loqs-PB, required for the production of microRNAs. Paralleling their roles in the biogenesis of distinct small RNA classes, Loqs-PD and Loqs-PB bind to different Dicer proteins, with Dcr-1/Loqs-PB complexes and Dcr-2/Loqs-PD complexes driving microRNA and endo-siRNA biogenesis, respectively. Small RNA profiling by high throughput sequencing Total RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and size-fractionated by PAGE into 19-24nt. These were independently processed and sequenced using the Illumina GAII platform. In total, six libraries were analyzed.

Project description:We analyzed mRNA expression profiles in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells that had been depleted of proteins known as mRNA decapping co-activators. mRNA decapping is catalyzed by DCP2, and DCP2 activity is stimulated by decapping co-activators. This group of proteins includes DCP1, Hedls (also known as Ge-1), LSm16 (also known as EDC3), rck/p54 (also known as DHH1 or Me31B), Pat1, and the heptameric LSm1-7 complex. We used the RNA interference technology to deplete cultured S2 cells of DCP1 (CG11183), Ge-1 (CG6181), Pat1 (CG5208), LSm16 (CG6311), and LSm1 (CG4279). We used Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays to analyze two independent samples for each depletion. We included the following controls: mock RNAi treatment and GFP dsRNA treatment (two profiles each). We also profiled AGO1 (CG6671) depleted cells (3 independent samples). AGO1 is a key protein required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing. We had shown previously that silencing by miRNAs involves decapping of target mRNAs.

Project description:miRNAs silence gene expression by repressing translation and/or by promoting mRNA decay. AGO1 is a key protein required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing. In animal cells, mRNA degradation of partially complementary miRNA targets occurs via deadenylation by the CAF1-CCR4-NOT1 deadenylase complex, followed by decapping and subsequent exonucleolytic digestion. To determine how generally miRNAs trigger deadenylation, we compared mRNA expression profiles in D. melanogaster cells depleted of AGO1, CAF1 or NOT1. We show that approximately 45% of AGO1-targets are regulated by both CAF1 and NOT1, indicating deadenylation is a widespread effect of miRNA regulation.<br><br>We employed RNA interference using long double-stranded RNAs to deplete cultured S2 cells of AGO1 (CG6671, 2 independent samples), CAF1 (CG5684, 2 independent samples), or NOT1 (CG1884, 3 independent samples). Further, we used Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays to analyze expression profiles in these samples. We included the following controls: mock RNAi treatment and GFP dsRNA treatment (3 and 2 independent samples, respectively).<br>

Project description:Understanding gene regulation in stem cells is key to understanding stem cell biology. Contrary to transcriptional regulation the function of alternative splicing (AS) in stem cells is poorly understood. Here we study function and mechanisms of AS in a powerful in vivo model for stem cell biology, the planarian S. mediterranea. Knockdown of AS factors, computational analyses of massive RNA-sequencing data, phenotyping, and biochemical binding assays revealed a stem cell specific AS program comprising hundreds of alternative exons, intron retention events, and microexons. The conserved AS factors CELF/MBNL are main regulators of this program. We show that they antagonize each other by directly promoting or repressing stem cell specific AS events. Knockdown of CELF/MBNL leads to defective regeneration by affecting self-renewal and differentiation, respectively. Thus, AS is of key importance for stem cell regulation in vivo and antagonistic regulation by CELF/MBNL is likely an ancestral feature of animal stem cells. mRNA profiles of various samples of planarian cells, including control and knockdowns of key splicing factors in whole worms, and FACS-purified fractions

Project description:Loss of RNA homeostasis underlies numerous neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms that trigger neuroinflammation are poorly understood. Viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) triggers innate immune responses when sensed by host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) present in all cell types. Here, we report that human neurons intrinsically carry exceptionally high levels of immunostimulatory dsRNAs and identify long 3'UTRs as giving rise to neuronal dsRNA structures. We found that the neuron-enriched ELAVL family of genes (ELAVL2, -3, -4) can increase 1) 3'UTR length, 2) dsRNA load, and 3) activation of dsRNA-sensing PRRs such as MDA5, PKR, and TLR3. In wild-type neurons, neuronal dsRNAs signaled through PRRs to induce tonic production of the antiviral type I interferon. Depleting ELAVL2 in WT neurons led to global shortening of 3'UTR length, reduced immunostimulatory dsRNA levels, and rendered WT neurons susceptible to herpes simplex virus and Zika virus infection. Neurons deficient in ADAR1, a dsRNA-editing enzyme mutated in the neuroinflammatory disorder Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, exhibited intolerably high levels of dsRNA that triggered PRR mediated toxic inflammation and neuronal death. Depleting ELAVL2 in ADAR1 knockout neurons led to prolonged neuron survival by reducing immunostimulatory dsRNA levels. In summary, neurons are specialized cells where PRRs constantly sense ‘self’ dsRNAs to pre-emptively induce protective antiviral immunity, but maintaining RNA homeostasis is paramount to prevent pathological neuroinflammation.
