The PARN, TOE1, and USB1 RNA deadenylases and their roles in non-coding RNA regulation.

ABSTRACT: The levels of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are regulated by transcription, RNA processing, and RNA degradation pathways. One mechanism for the degradation of ncRNAs involves the addition of oligo(A) tails by non-canonical poly(A) polymerases, which then recruit processive sequence-independent 3' to 5' exonucleases for RNA degradation. This pathway of decay is also regulated by three 3' to 5' exoribonucleases, USB1, PARN, and TOE1, which remove oligo(A) tails and thereby can protect ncRNAs from decay in a manner analogous to the deubiquitination of proteins. Loss-of-function mutations in these genes lead to premature degradation of some ncRNAs and lead to specific human diseases such as Poikiloderma with Neutropenia (PN) for USB1, Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC) for PARN and Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia type 7 (PCH7) for TOE1. Herein, we review the biochemical properties of USB1, PARN, and TOE1, how they modulate ncRNA levels, and their roles in human diseases.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death in the world, and has a relatively low survival rate. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to modulate cancer progression through a variety of molecular mechanisms. We sought to investigate the role and potential mechanism of MYC-induced long non-coding RNA (MINCR) in NSCLC. METHODS:Expression levels of MINCR was first identified using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), further confirmed with specimens from 29 NSCLC patients and three cell lines using qRT-PCR. Overexpression and knockdown of MINCR were performed in NSCLC cell lines through MINCR overexpression vectors and synthesized siRNAs, respectively. The roles of MINCR in NSCLC cell lines, such as cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis, were identified by MTT, flow cytometry, and Western blot. The modulation of MINCR-regulated genes, including c-Myc and its downstream effectors, as well as apoptosis-associated genes, was analyzed using Western blot. RESULTS:MINCR expression was increased in NSCLC patients from TCGA datasets, and was also significantly increased in our collected specimens from NSCLC patients and NSCLC cell lines. Knocking down of MINCR greatly inhibited the growth of NSCLC cell lines PC9 and A549. In addition, silencing of MINCR induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Furthermore, silencing of MINCR reduced the expression levels of oncogene c-Myc and its downstream cyclin A, cyclin D, CD4, and CDK2, as well as apoptosis-associated Bcl-2, while significantly increased the expression levels of cleaved PARP-1. In the meantime, overexpression of MINCR remarkably enhanced cell proliferation of PC9 cells and activated c-Myc and its downstream effectors. CONCLUSION:MINCR exerted inhibitory effects on the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of NSCLC cells by activating c-Myc and its downstream effectors, suggesting that this lncRNA could be used as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC.
