Determination of long non-coding RNAs associated with EZH2 in neuroblastoma by RIP-seq, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common type of extracranial solid tumor found in children. Despite several treatment options, patients with advanced stage disease have a poor prognosis. Previous studies have reported that enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have abnormal expression levels in NB and participate in tumorigenesis and NB development. However, the association between EZH2 and lncRNAs remain unclear. In the present study, RNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing (RIP-seq) was used to analyze the lncRNAs binding to EZH2. Following EZH2 knockdown via short hairpin RNA, RNA-seq was performed in shEZH2 and control groups in SH-SY5Y cells. Chromatin IP (ChIP)-seq was used to determine the genes that may be regulated by EZH2. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were performed to identify the signaling pathways involved in NB. The results from RIP-seq identified 94 lncRNAs, including SNHG7, SNHG22, KTN-AS1 and Linc00843. Furthermore, results from RNA-seq demonstrated that, following EZH2 knockdown, 448 genes were up- and 571 genes were downregulated, with 32 lncRNAs up- and 35 downregulated and differentially expressed compared with control groups. Certain lncRNAs, including MALAT1, H19, Linc01021 and SNHG5, were differentially expressed in EZH2-knockdown group compared with the control group. ChIP-seq identified EZH2 located in the promoter region of 138 lncRNAs including CASC16, CASC15, LINC00694 and TBX5-AS1. In summary, the present study demonstrated that certain lncRNAs directly bound EZH2 and regulated EZH2 expression levels. A number of these lncRNAs that are associated with EZH2 may participate in NB tumorigenesis.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is an embryonal tumor with various clinical presentations and behaviors. Several genomic alterations has been well-studied in NB, among which genomic amplification of MYCN oncogene, is a strong prognostic biomarker with worsens outcome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), constitute major proportion of the cellular transcripts with no coding capacity. One of their function is to guide transcription factors to the target genes and facilitate gene expression. However, relative contribution of lncRNA and MYCN to the advanced NB has remained unclear. Herein, by applying a network-based integrative analysis on MYCN amplified and MYCN nonamplified lncRNA expression profile from both RNA-seq and microarray platform, we identified lncRNA, SNHG1 to be differentially expressed and strongly correlated with MYCN in MYCN-amplified NB. The expression of SNHG1 was validated by RT-qPCR in NB cell lines. Survival analysis revealed that higher expression of SNHG1 significantly associates with poor patient survival. Moreover, knockdown of MYCN in MYCN-amplified NB cell lines inhibited SNHG1 expression. Furthermore, to unravel the role of SNHG1 in NB, we extracted SNHG1-interacting proteins by RNA-protein pull down assay coupled with doi:10.6342/NTU201701980 ! ! VI liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We identified 27 SNHG1-interacting proteins in common from three NB cell lines. However, only three SNHG1-interacting proteins, MATR3, YBX1 and HHRNPL have binding site detected by DeepBind motif analysis. Western blot confirms interaction of MATR3 with SNHG1. Additionally, we further validated the direct interaction between MATR3 and SNHG1 by RNA-immunoprecipation (IP). MATR3 is known to be involved in RNA transport and stabilization. Therefore, we proposed that MATR3 after interacting with SNHG1 might help in SNHG1 transcription and stabilization. In conclusion, our study unveils that SNHG1 could be a prognostic marker for high-risk NB and possibly stabilized by MATR3. Our results might provide future directions for the development of therapeutic strategies against high-risk NB.
