Project description:Using RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq and miRNA-Seq), we analyzed paired villous trophoblast and decidual basalis transcriptomes of 15 women pregnant with singleton gestations grouped as follows: (1) spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) in the setting of amniocentesis-proven intra-amniotic infection (IAI) and histological chorioamnionits (n=5; GA median [range]: 26 [25-31] weeks); (2) spontaneous idiopathic preterm birth (iPTB, n=5, GA: 32 [30-33] weeks); and (3) term normal pregnancy, that delivered a heathy infant by cesarean section in the absence of labor (n=5; GA: 39 [38-39] weeks). The primary goal of this study was to identify differentially expressed transcripts and illuminate molecular mechanisms distinguishing IAI-associated PTBs from spontaneous PTBs in the absence of IAI. We further compared iPTB specimens to term specimens to determine genes differentially regulated with advancing gestational age and following spontaneous PTB without IAI. Finally, we determined transcripts selectively expressed in either the villous trophoblast or decidua basalis in each clinical context. Raw data for this series are not available because consent forms do not allow for public access to raw data.

Project description:Characterization of RNA processing events dependent on U2AF-related proteins PUF60 and RBM39. PUF60 (poly-U-binding factor 60 kDa, also known as FIR, Hfp or Ro-bp1) is a splicing factor homologous to the 65 kD subunit of the auxiliary factor of U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U2AF65). PUF60 has two central RNA recognition motifs and a C-terminal U2AF homology motif (UHM), but lacks the N terminal arginine/serine-rich (RS) and UHM ligand motif (ULM) domains present in U2AF65. PUF60 activity, in conjunction with U2AF, facilitates the association of U2 snRNP with the pre-mRNA. PUF60 and U2AF65 can bind SF3b155 ULMs simultaneously and noncompetitively. RBM39 (also known as CAPERα, HCC1, FSAP59 or RNPC2) is an RNA processing factor and a hormone-dependent transcriptional coactivator. RBM39 domain structure is similar to PUF60, except for the extra N-terminal RS domain with unknown function. To understand function of the two proteins on a genome-wide scale, each protein was individually depleted from human embryonic kidney cell line 293 using RNAi to systematically characterize the PUF60- and RBM39-dependent exon usage.

Project description:In mammals, small RNAs are important players in post-transcriptional gene regulation. While their roles in mRNA destabilization and translational repression are well appreciated, their involvement in endonucleolytic cleavage of target RNAs is poorly understood. Very few microRNAs are known to guide RNA cleavage. Endogenous small interfering RNAs are expected to induce target cleavage, but their target genes remain largely unknown. We report a systematic study of small RNA-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage in mouse through integrative analysis of small RNA and degradome sequencing data without imposing any bias towards known small RNAs. Hundreds of small cleavage-inducing RNAs and their cognate target genes were identified, significantly expanding the repertoire of known small RNA-guided cleavage events. Strikingly, both small RNAs and their target sites demonstrated significant overlap with retrotransposons, providing evidence for the long-standing speculation that retrotransposable elements in mRNAs are leveraged as signals for gene targeting. Furthermore, our analysis showed that the RNA cleavage pathway is also present in human cells but affecting a different repertoire of retrotransposons. These results show that small RNA-guided cleavage is more widespread than previously appreciated. Their impact on retrotransposons in non-coding regions shed light on important aspects of mammalian gene regulation. Refer to individual Series

Project description:Altered chromatin structure is a hallmark of cancer, and inappropriate regulation of chromatin structure may represent the origin of transformation. Several important studies have mapped human nucleosome distributions genome wide, but the genome-wide role of chromatin structure in cancer progression has not been addressed. We developed a MNase-Sequence Capture method, mTSS-seq, to map genome-wide nucleosome distribution in primary human lung and colon adenocarcinoma tissue. Here, we confirm that nucleosome redistribution is an early, widespread event in lung (LAC) and colon (CRC) adenocarcinoma. These altered nucleosome architectures are consistent between LAC and CRC patient samples indicating that they may serve as important early adenocarcinoma markers. We demonstrate that the nucleosome alterations are driven by the underlying DNA sequence and potentiate transcription factor binding. We conclude that DNA-directed nucleosome redistributions are widespread early in cancer progression. We have proposed an entirely new hierarchical model for chromatin-mediated genome regulation. â Nucleosome distribution mapping in primary patient tissue at all transcription start sites in the human genome Please note that two processed data files '4137N_ALLcombined.bed' and '4137T_ALLcombined.bed' (linked as Series supplementary file) are processed bed files combined from three 4137N_*_hiseq samples (total 6 raw data files) and three 4137T_*_hiseq samples (total 6 raw data files), respectively.

Project description:Olfactory ensheathing cells are one of the few central nervous system regenerative cells discovered so far. It is characterized by its lifelong nerve regeneration function, and it can also release a variety of neurotrophic factors and neural adhesion molecules. It is considered to be the glial cell with the strongest myelination ability. Olfactory ensheathing cells and Schwann cells have phenotypes in common, they can promote axon regeneration(R. Doucette, 1995). Olfactory ensheathing cells have the characteristics of Schwann cells and astrocytes, but the overall performance tends to be the former, which has two unique characteristics. First, it exists not only in the peripheral nerves (Schwann cells), but also in the central nervous system (astroglia); second, the olfactory mucosa has the ability to regenerate life-long, including human olfactory ensheathing cells(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000). Regeneration is a process in which olfactory ensheathing cells participate in efficient regulation, although the specific mechanism is not yet clear. Olfactory ensheathing cells are different from astrocytes and Schwann cells, but at the same time have the characteristics of these two cells(S. C. Barnett, 2004), like Schwann cells help axon growth, but more than Schwann cells It can make axons grow long distances, that is, it has stronger migration(A. Ramon-Cueto et al., 1998); there are also astrocytes that have a nutritional effect on the survival of neurons and the growth of axons, but olfactory ensheathing cells can also wrap neurons forms myelin sheath to support the growth of nerve processes(R. Devon and R. Doucette, 1992; J. Gu et al., 2019). There are two characteristics that make olfactory ensheathing cells the best choice for the treatment of neurological diseases(S. C. Chiu et al., 2009; J. Kim et al., 2018; M. Abdel-Rahman et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells are gradually used to treat spinal cord injuries and have shown amazing effects(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000; K. J. Liu et al., 2010; R. Yao et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells that have been used in research are usually derived from the olfactory bulb(E. H. Franssen et al., 2007), but it is easier to obtain olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa in clinical practice(M. Ryszard et al., 2006), so the difference between the olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and the olfactory mucosa There are more and more studies(B. M. U. et al., 2007), and previous studies have shown that they not only have many similar functions, but also have many differences(M. W. Richter et al., 2005; L. Wang et al., 2014; K. E. Smith et al., 2020). Because olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory bulb are not easy to obtain, olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory mucosa have become the focus of attention. Although we know that olfactory ensheathing cells from two sources have nerve repair functions, it is not clear why the two different sources of olfactory ensheathing cells have different therapeutic effects. Nicolas G. once studied that the genetic difference between the two cells and found that there are many genes related to wound repair and nerve regeneration(G. Nicolas et al., 2010). We have reason to guess that olfactory ensheathing cells from these two sources will also have a large difference in protein level. Our research group wants to use the current mature transcriptome and proteomic sequencing technologies to explore the difference between olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and olfactory mucosa, and explain why the two sources of olfactory ensheathing cells shows different therapeutic effects, hope to provide a new theoretical basis for future clinical treatment.

Project description:The let-7 microRNA families are tumor suppressors often deregulated in cancer, yet the underlying mechanisms of let-7 disruption remain poorly understood. Neuroblastoma is defined in part by poor prognosis associated with genetic amplification of MYCN, itself a let-7 target. The let-7 biogenesis inhibitor LIN28B has been implicated as a critical regulator of MYCN ; however, here we show that LIN28B is dispensable for both MYCN protein expression and growth of MYCN amplified neuroblastoma cell lines despite robust de-repression of let-7 . We further report that amplified MYCN mRNA is a potent let-7 sponge that through exceptionally high expression defines a sub-set of self-sponging amplified competing endogenous RNA (aceRNA) and reconciles the dispensability of LIN28B . In addition, we observe frequent genomic loss of let-7 that inversely associates with MYCN- amplification, providing an explanation for common, yet unresolved amplification-independent patterns of chromosome loss. We thus propose a model whereby let-7 disruption by genetic loss, LIN28B expression, or aceRNA sponging is a unifying mechanism of neuroblastoma pathogenesis. Indeed, our data show that the majority of neuroblastomas have at least one let-7 disruption event and that genetic loss in non-MYCN amplified tumors marks decreased survival, further underscoring its importance. The inverse relationship between allelic loss and sponging of let-7 from highly expressed or amplified oncogenes may have broad implications for oncogenesis. Two cell lines, sampled in triplicate.
