PolyA site sequencing (PAS-seq) analysis of Hela cells treated with NC ASO or snoRD50a ASOs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Our RNA-seq experiment (E-MTAB-5383) and subsequent in vitro analysis suggested that snoRD50a is a trans-acting RNA that can function in mRNA 3' processing. To test this hypothesis at transcriptomic level, we performed PAS-seq experiments to compare the polyA+ transcripts profile between negative control ASO (nc ASO) and snoRD50a ASO treated Hela cells, ASO (antisense oligonucletode) technique is a commonly used technique to deplete nuclear RNAs. snoRD50a ASO is used to deplete endogenous snoRD50a. See related experiments: E-MTAB-5383; E-MTAB-5384.
Project description:While thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are expressed in higher eukaryotes, the potential regulatory roles of lncRNAs in regulated gene transcription programs remain rather poorly understood. Here, we report that two lncRNAs highly overexpressed in aggressive prostate cancer, PRNCR1 and PCGEM1, bind successively to the androgen receptor (AR) and strongly enhance both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent AR-mediated gene activation programs and proliferation in prostate cancer cells. Binding of PRNCR1 to the C-terminally acetylated AR on enhancers and its association with DOT1L appear to be required for recruitment of the second lncRNA, PCGEM, to the N-terminally methylated AR. Unexpectedly, recognition of the H3K4me3 promoter mark by the PHD finger-domain of Pygopus2, recruited by PCGEM1, proves to enhance selective looping of AR-bound enhancers to target gene promoters in these cells, revealing a novel aspect of ligand-induced enhancer-promoter interactions. In “resistant” prostate cancer cells, these overexpressed lncRNAs can interact with, and are required for the robust activation of both truncated and full length AR, causing DHT-independent activation of the AR transcriptional program and cell proliferation. Conditionally-expressed short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated targeting of these lncRNAs in these resistant cancer cell lines strongly suppressed xenograft growth in vivo. Together, these results suggest that these overexpressed lncRNAs can potentially serve as a required component of castration-resistance in prostatic tumors. Global Run On (GRO) assay followed by high throughput sequencing (GRO-seq); after knocking-down lincRNAs PCGEM1 and PRNCR1. LNCaP cells were grown to 30-50% confluence and siRNA/ASO transfections were carried out using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Control samples were transfected with scramble ASO and control siRNA, respectively. On the following day of transfection, the cells were cultured in UltraCULTURE (Phenol red free) + 5% Charcoal Dextran Stripped (CDS) serum for 48 hours.

Project description:To gain more insights into the functional significance of lnc-HLX-2-7, gene expression profiles were measured using D425 (sh-CTRL), D425 (sh-HLX) and intracranial D425 xenografts treated with ASO-CTRL and ASO-lnc-HLX 2-7 by RNA sequencing.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse liver comparing control, scrambled-oligonucleotides (Cont)-treated mice with Perilipin 2-antisense oligonucleotides (Plin2-ASO)-treated mice. C57BL/6 mice on a high-fat diet were treated with oligonucleotides in vivo. The goal was to determine the effects of Plin2 down-regulation in the liver on global gene expression. Two-condition experiment, control oligonucleotides vs. Plin2-antisense oligonucleotides. Biological replicates: 4 control replicates, 4 Plin2-ASO replicates.
Project description:We performed RNA-seq assay in Scramble ASO and antisense Mus1_L1 ASO treated AML12 cells to reveal the trscriptiome associated with MATR3 protein. The libraries were constructed by ribosome-depleted and strand-specific kits.
Project description:The objective of this study is to evaluate ASO biodistribution and pharmacodynamic response following intravenous delivery of conjugated OTV, which utilizes transferrin-receptor binding to deliver ASO, vs. intrathecal delivery of naked ASO in cynomolgus monkeys, the current gold standard for ASO delivery. Three groups were included for comparison: 1) Negative control cohort = Four biweekly intravenous doses of saline (n=3); 2) IT cohort = Single intrathecal dose of 4mg MALAT1 ASO (n=3); 3) OTV multi dose cohort = Four biweekly intravenous doses of 30mpk OTV:MALAT1 (n=3). Tissues were collected two weeks after the final dose to allow sufficient time for target knockdown. Brain, spinal cord, and peripheral tissues were dissected and frozen for molecular analysis. Compared to an intrathecal injection of ASO, systemic administration of OTV resulted in significantly more homogenous biodistribution of ASO in the central nervous system as measured by a probe-based hybridization assay as well as staining with an anti-ASO antibody. One potential consequence of heterogeneous ASO distribution is heterogeneous target knockdown throughout the CNS. We observed more consistent target knockdown throughout the cortex, subcortical areas, and spinal cord of monkeys dosed peripherally with OTV. By contrast, monkeys dosed intrathecally with naked ASO showed much more knockdown in the spinal cord compared to the brian, consistent with ASO distribution.

Project description:To understand the response of MECP2-regulated genes to the ASO treatment, we performed RNA-sequencing at multiple timepoints on hippocampal tissue following ASO treatment. It shows that the abnormal transcriptomic profile of hDup mice is significantly rescued 2 weeks after the treatment. Long-term partial rescue of the gene expression was observed at 5 weeks and until 16 weeks after the treatment as the transcriptomic profile does not cluster with the control-ASO treated mice.
Project description:We elicited ASO-mediated knockdown of mRNAs in the nervous system by targeting the memory-repressor gene Histone deacetylase 2 (Hdac2) in vitro and in vivo. We observed that an Hdac2-targeted ASO not only triggered a reduction in mRNA levels, but also a direct transcriptional suppression of the Hdac2 gene in neurons in vitro. In further in vivo studies, we observed that a single dose of the Hdac2-targeted ASO delivered by intracerebroventricular injection into the central nervous system (CNS) achieved steady-state diminution of Hdac2 mRNA levels that lasted more than 6 months in vivo. Knockdown of this factor resulted in memory enhancement. ASO administration also caused a prolonged alteration of steady-state levels of a set of known memory-associated mRNAs and triggered secondary changes in the epigenome at sites outside of the primary target gene.
