Cigarette smoking-associated isoform switching and 3' UTR lengthening via alternative polyadenylation.

ABSTRACT: Cigarette smoking induces a profound transcriptomic and systemic inflammatory response. Previous studies have focused on gene level differential expression of smoking, but the genome-wide effects of smoking on alternative isoform regulation have not yet been described. We conducted RNA sequencing in whole-blood samples of 454 current and 767 former smokers in the COPDGene Study, and we analyzed the effects of smoking on differential usage of isoforms and exons. At 10% FDR, we detected 3167 differentially expressed genes, 945 differentially used isoforms and 160 differentially used exons. Isoform switch analysis revealed widespread 3' UTR lengthening associated with cigarette smoking. The lengthening of these 3' UTRs was consistent with alternative usage of distal polyadenylation sites, and these extended 3' UTR regions were significantly enriched with functional sequence elements including microRNA and RNA-protein binding sites. These findings warrant further studies on alternative polyadenylation events as potential biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for smoking-related diseases.

Cigarette Smoking-Associated Isoform Switching and 3’ UTR Lengthening Via Alternative Polyadenylation

Project description:Cigarette smoking accounts for approximately one in five deaths in the United States. Previous genomic studies have primarily focused on gene level differential expression to identify related molecular signatures and pathways, but the genome-wide effects of smoking on alternative isoform regulation and posttranscriptional modulation have not yet been described. We attempted to fill this void by identifying smoking-associated isoform switches and their responsible splicing events and consequences using RNA-seq.

Cellular stress alters 3’UTR landscape through alternative polyadenylation and isoform-specific degradation

Project description:Most eukaryotic genes express alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms with different lengths of 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR). Here we show arsenic stress elicits global shortening of 3’UTRs through two mechanisms. First, stress leads to immediate shortening of 3’UTR due to preferential usage of proximal cleavage and polyadenylation sites (PASs), as revealed by 3’ end sequencing of newly made RNAs that are metabolically labeled with 4-thiouridine. Second, long 3’UTR isoforms are more rapidly degraded during recovery from stress as compared to short 3’UTR isoforms, further shortening 3’UTR lengths in the cell. Using ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation coupled with 3’ end sequencing (3’READS+RIP), we show that the RNA-binding protein T cell-restricted intracellular antigen-1 (Tia1) preferentially interacts with long 3’UTR isoforms via U-rich elements in alternative 3’UTR sequences, and the interaction correlates with stress granule (SG) association during stress and with mRNA decay during recovery from stress, indicating SG-mediated RNA clearance mechanism post stress. Importantly, genes whose 3’UTRs are shortened by APA during stress can evade stress-induced 3’UTR size-based mRNA degradation, leading to higher transcript abundance post stress. Moreover, proliferating and differentiated cells display different extents of 3’UTR shortening after stress, indicating cell type-specific of impact of stress on the 3’UTR landscape. Together, our data indicate that 3’UTR length plays important roles in gene expression in stressed cells, and APA functions as an adaptive stress response mechanism to preserve mRNAs.

Alternative polyadenylation alters protein dosage by switching between intronic and 3' UTR sites

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) creates distinct transcripts from the same gene by cleaving the pre-mRNA at poly(A) sites that can lie within the 3' UTR, introns, or exons. Most studies focus on APA within the 3' UTR, but here we show that CPSF6 insufficiency alters protein levels and causes a developmental syndrome by deregulating APA throughout the transcript. In neonatal humans and zebrafish larvae, CPSF6 insufficiency shifts poly(A) site usage between the 3'UTR and internal sites in a pathway-specific manner. Genes associated with neuronal function undergo mostly intronic APA, reducing their expression, while genes associated with heart and skeletal function mostly undergo 3' UTR APA and are upregulated. This suggests that, in healthy conditions, cells toggle between internal and 3'UTR APA to modulate protein expression.

mRNA 3â€™UTR lengthening by alternative polyadenylation attenuates inflammatory responses and correlates with virulence of Influenza A virus

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) leading to changes of mRNA 3â€™UTRs has been associated to numerous pathologies but its molecular origin and functional consequences often remain enigmatic. We show that all Influenza A virus (IAV) strains cause APA of host transcripts and mapped the effect to a drug-targetable glycine residue (G184) in the viral non-structural protein 1 (NS1) that is required for its interaction with CPSF4. Unexpectedly, this interaction is also conserved in IAVs not causing virus-induced transcriptional shutoff and introduction of G184R in NS1 alleviates APA. Functionally, a recombinant PR8 (NS1-G184R) virus elicited increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines as compared to the parental wild-type in vitro and in vivo, and had a strongly attenuated phenotype in vivo. Finally, we show that many pathogens induce APA, which is potentially used towards similar immunomodulatory effects.
