Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries from chicken embryo

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA (miRNA) and other types of small regulatory RNAs play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Several distinct classes of small regulatory RNAs have been discovered in recent years. To extend the repertoire of small regulatory RNAs characterized in chickens we used a deep sequencing approach developed by Solexa (now Illumina Inc.). We sequenced three small RNA libraries prepared from different developmental stages of the chicken embryo (days 5, 7, and 9) to produce over 9.5 million short sequence reads. We developed a bioinformatics pipeline to distinguish authentic mature miRNA sequences from other classes of small RNAs and short RNA fragments represented in the sequencing data. Using this approach we detected almost all of the previously known chicken miRNAs and their respective miRNA* sequences. In addition we discovered 449 putative new chicken miRNAs. Of these, 430 miRNAs appear to be specific to the avian lineage. Another 6 new miRNAs had evidence of evolutionary conservation in at least one vertebrate species outside of the bird lineage. The remaining 13 putative miRNAs appear to represent chicken orthologs of known vertebrate miRNAs. We discovered 39 additional putative miRNA candidates originating from miRNA generating intronic sequences known as mirtrons. Keywords: miRNA discovery, mirtrons, chicken embryo

miRNA profiling in male and female chicken embryonic gonads during sexual differentiation

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a highly conserved class of small RNAs which function in a sequence-specific manner to post-transcriptionally regulate expression of target genes. Tissue-specific miRNA expression studies have discovered numerous functions for miRNAs in various aspects of embryonic development, but a role for miRNAs in gonadal development and sex differentiation has not yet been reported. Using the chicken embryo as a vertebrate model, differential miRNA expression between male and female embryonic gonads, was analysed at three developmental stages (embryonic days (E) 5.5, E6.5 and E9.5), using custom-designed 4x2K CombiMatrix miRNA microarray. The aims of this study were to: 1-identify miRNAs differentialy expressed by sex; 2-identify sex-specific miRNAs; 3-analyse global changes in miRNA up-regulation in male versus female gonads before, during and after the histological onset of sexual differentiation. This study provides a basis for establishing whetehr miRNAs are involved in either initiating or regulating vertebrate gonadal sex differentiation. Keywords: miRNA, sex comparison, developmental stage comparison.

The small RNA diversity from Medicago truncatula roots under biotic interactions evidences the environmental plasticity of the miRNAome

Project description:Plants show a remarkable plasticity to adapt their root architecture to biotic and abiotic constraints of the soil environment. Although some of these modifications are fine-tuned by miRNAs, there are still shadow zones in these regulations. In the model legume Medicago truncatula, we analyzed the small RNA (smRNA) transcriptome of roots submitted to symbiotic and pathogenic interactions. Mapping on the genome and prediction of pre-miRNA hairpins allowed the identification of 416 candidates. Out of them, we found known and novel variants of 77 miRNA families, already reported in miRBase. In addition, thanks stringent criteria of miRNA prediction, 53 mtr-miRNAs were discovered, including 27 putative miRtrons. Exploring polymorphism in 26 M. truncatula ecotypes, higher polymorphism was observed in conserved rather than legume-specific miRNA genes. An average of 19 targets, mainly involved in environmental responses and signaling, was predicted per novel miRNA. In addition, taking advantage of our large number of smRNA libraries, we identified sets of miRNAs responsive to root pathogens or to symbiotic interactions and the related Nod and myc-LCO signals. 23 libraries of small RNA (smRNA) of roots submitted to symbiotic and pathogenic interactions.

Identification of microRNAs in Caragana intermedia by high-throughput sequencing and expression analysis of 12 microRNAs and their targets under salt stress

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that play important roles in various biological and metabolic processes in plants. Caragana intermedia is an important ecological and economic tree species that is prominent in the desert environment of west and northwest China. To date, no investigation into C. intermedia miRNAs has been reported. In this study, high-throughput sequencing of small RNAs was performed to identify both conserved and novel miRNAs, and also their target mRNA genes in C. intermedia. Based on sequence similarity and hairpin structure prediction, 132 putative conserved miRNAs (12 of which were confirmed to form hairpin precursors) belonging to 31 known miRNA families were identified. Ten novel miRNAs (including the miRNA* sequences of three novel miRNAs) were also discovered. The expression of 12 miRNAs was validated in different tissues, and the 12 miRNAs were further assessed by qRT-PCR after salt treatment. Furthermore, 36 potential target genes of 17 known miRNA families and two potential target genes of one novel miRNA were predicted, and some target genes were also assessed by qRT-PCR after salt treatment. Our study provides a basic catalog of miRNAs and their targets, which will promote further understanding of the important roles of miRNAs in C. intermedia and in other species of the leguminous genus, Caragana. Examination of small RNA expression profiling in three-weeks-old seedings of Caragana intermedia.

Deep sequencing analysis of the developing mouse brain reveals a novel microRNA

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that can exert multilevel inhibition/repression at a post-transcriptional or protein synthesis level during disease or development. Characterisation of miRNAs in adult mammalian brains by deep sequencing has been reported previously. However, to date, no small RNA profiling of the developing brain has been undertaken using this method. We have performed deep sequencing and small RNA analysis of a developing (E15.5) mouse brain. We identified the expression of 294 known miRNAs in the E15.5 developing mouse brain, which were mostly represented by let-7 family and other brain-specific miRNAs such as miR-9 and miR-124. We also discovered 4 putative 22-23nt miRNAs: mm_br_e15_1181, mm_br_e15_279920, mm_br_e15_96719 and mm_br_e15_294354 each with a 70-76nt predicted pre-miRNA. We validated the 4 putative miRNAs and further characterised one of them, mm_br_e15_1181, throughout embryogenesis. Mm_br_e15_1181 biogenesis was Dicer1-dependent and was expressed in E3.5 blastocysts and E7 whole embryos. Embryo-wide expression patterns were observed at E9.5 and E11.5 followed by a near complete loss of expression by E13.5, with expression restricted to a specialised layer of cells within the developing and early postnatal brain. Mm_br_e15_1181 was upregulated during neurodifferentiation of P19 teratocarcinoma cells. This novel miRNA has been identified as miR-3099. We have generated and analysed the first deep sequencing dataset of small RNA sequences of the developing mouse brain. The analysis revealed a novel miRNA, miR-3099, with potential regulatory effects on early embryogenesis, and involvement in neuronal cell differentiation/function in the brain during late embryonic and early neonatal development. Deep sequencing analysis of small RNAs isolated from an E15.5 mouse brain.

Promiscuous splicing-derived hairpins are dominant substrates of tailing-mediated defense of miRNA biogenesis in mammals

Project description:A canonical pathway generates microRNAs (miRNAs) via stepwise cleavage of hairpin precursors by RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer, followed by loading of resultant ~22 nucleotide (nt) RNAs into an Argonaute (Ago) effector complex. In addition, non-canonical substrates can bypass either RNase III enzyme to yield functional small RNAs, including hundreds of intron-derived hairpins that comprise pre-miRNA mimics that bypass Drosha (i.e., mirtrons). Here, we show that mirtron breadth is much larger than currently appreciated, since hundreds of novel splicing-derived hairpins are detected in intermediate (~50-100 nt) but not small (20-30nt) RNA data. Since mirtrons were originally defined on the basis of small RNA duplexes, we term the larger set of loci as structured, splicing-derived RNAs (ssdRNAs). Although individual species generally accumulate modestly, these are broadly detected in Dicer and/or Ago complexes and can mediate repression in directed assays. Nevertheless, their extremely poor conservation suggests they do not generally benefit regulatory networks, and may instead contaminate the canonical miRNA pathway. In aggregate, ssdRNAs/mirtrons comprise the dominant hairpin substrates for 3' tailing by multiple terminal nucleotidyltransferases, notably TUT4/7 and TENT2. We provide evidence that hairpin tailing is inhibitory for ssdRNA/mirtron biogenesis and/or function, and that this pathway has restricted the evolution of canonical pre-miRNAs that resemble splicing products. Overall, the rampant proliferation of evolutionary young mammalian mirtrons, coupled with an attendant molecular defense, comprises a Red Queen's race of intragenomic conflict.

Integrated small RNA, mRNA and protein omics reveal a miRNA network orchestrating metabolic maturation of the developing human heart

Project description:As the fetal heart develops, cardiomyocyte proliferation potential decreases while fatty acid oxidative capacity increases, a highly regulated transition known as cardiac maturation. Small noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), contribute to the establishment and control of tissue-specific transcriptional programs. However, small RNA expression dynamics and genome wide miRNA regulatory networks controlling maturation of the human fetal heart remain poorly understood. Transcriptome profiling of small RNAs revealed the temporal expression patterns of miRNA, piRNA, circRNA, snoRNA, snRNA and tRNA in the developing human heart between 8 and 19 weeks of gestation. Our analysis revealed that miRNAs were the most dynamically expressed small RNA species throughout mid-gestation. Cross-referencing differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs predicted 6,200 mRNA targets, 2134 of which were upregulated and 4066 downregulated as gestation progresses. Moreover, we found that downregulated targets of upregulated miRNAs predominantly control cell cycle progression, while upregulated targets of downregulated miRNAs are linked to energy sensing and oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, integration of miRNA and mRNA profiles with proteomes and reporter metabolites revealed that proteins encoded in mRNA targets, and their associated metabolites, mediate fatty acid oxidation and are enriched as the heart develops.This study revealed the small RNAome of the maturing human fetal heart. Furthermore, our findings suggest that coordinated activation and repression of miRNA expression throughout mid-gestation is essential to establish a dynamic miRNA-mRNA-protein network that decreases cardiomyocyte proliferation potential while increasing the oxidative capacity of the maturing human fetal heart.
