The effect of cellular context on miR-155 mediated gene regulation in four major immune cell types (iCLIP)

ABSTRACT: Numerous microRNAs and their target mRNAs are co-expressed across diverse cell types. However, it is unknown whether they are regulated in a cellular context-independent or -dependent manner. Here, we explored transcriptome-wide targeting and gene regulation by miR-155, whose activation-induced expression plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Through mapping of miR-155 targets using differential Argonaute iCLIP, mRNA quantification with RNA-Seq, and 3’UTR usage analysis using polyadenylation (polyA)-Seq in activated miR-155-sufficient and deficient macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, we identified numerous targets differentially bound by miR-155. While alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) contributed to differential miR-155 binding to some transcripts, in a majority of cases identical 3’UTR isoforms were differentially regulated across cell types, suggesting ApA-independent and cellular context-dependent miR-155-mediated gene regulation reminiscent of sequence-specific transcription factors. Our study provides comprehensive maps of miR-155 regulatory RNA networks and offers a valuable resource for dissecting context-dependent and -independent miRNA-mediated gene regulation in key cell types of the adaptive and innate immune systems.

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.

Targeting AGTR1/NF-κB /CXCR4 axis by miR-155 attenuates oncogenesis in Glioblastoma

Project description:MiR-155 show conserved binding on the 3’UTR of AGTR1, subsequently confirmed by AGTR1-3’UTR-luciferase reporter assay. To determine the pathways regulated by miR-155, we overexpressed miR-155 in SNB19 glioblastoma cells using pLemiR lentiviral constructs. pLemiR vector, with turbo RFP (Open Biosystems) was used as control. Furthermore, stable miR-155 overexpressing GBM cells show a decrease in AGTR1-mediated cell proliferation, invasion, foci formation, anchorage-independent growth, Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition and stemness.

Differential 3’ Processing of Specific Transcripts Expands Regulatory and Protein Diversity Across Neuronal Cell Types

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) regulates mRNA translation, stability, and protein localization. However, it is unclear to what extent APA regulates these processes uniquely in specific cell types. Using a new technique, cTag-PAPERCLIP, we discovered significant differences in APA between the principal types of mouse cerebellar neurons, the Purkinje and granule cells, as well as between proliferating and differentiated granule cells. Transcripts that differed in APA in these comparisons were enriched in key neuronal functions and many differed in coding sequence in addition to 3’UTR length.

SRSF7 and SRSF3 affectSRSF7 and SRSF3 affect 3’UTR length in opposite directions by controlling proximal poly(A)-site usage and CFIm levels 3’UTR length in opposite directions by controlling proximal poly(A)-site usage and CFIm levels

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) refers to the regulated selection of polyadenylation sites (PASs) in transcripts, which affects the length of their 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs). APA regulates stage- and tissue-specific gene expression by affecting the stability, subcellular localization or translation rate of transcripts. We have recently shown that SRSF3 and SRSF7, two closely related SR proteins, link APA to mRNA export. However, the underlying mechanism for APA regulation by SRSF3 and SRSF7 remained unknown. Here, we combined iCLIP and 3’-end sequencing to find that both proteins bind upstream of proximal PAS (pPAS), but exert opposing effects on 3’UTR length. We show that SRSF7 enhances pPAS usage in a splicing-independent and concentration-dependent manner by recruiting the cleavage factor FIP1, thereby generating short 3’UTRs. SRSF7-specific domains that are absent in SRSF3 are necessary and sufficient for FIP1 recruitment. SRSF3 promotes long 3’UTRs by maintaining high levels of the cleavage factor Im (CFIm) via alternative splicing. Using iCLIP, we show that CFIm binds before and after the pPASs of SRSF3 targets, which masks them and inhibits polyadenylation. In the absence of SRSF3, CFIm levels are strongly reduced, which exposes the pPASs and leads to shorter 3’UTRs. Conversely, during cellular differentiation, 3’UTRs are massively extended, while the levels of SRSF7 and FIP1 strongly decline. Altogether, our data suggest that SRSF7 acts as a sequence-specific enhancer of pPASs, while SRSF3 inhibits pPAS usage by controlling CFIm levels. Our data shed light on a long-standing puzzle of how one factor (CFIm) can inhibit and enhance PAS usage.

The mRNA export receptor NXF1 coordinates transcriptional dynamics, alternative polyadenylation and mRNA export

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) produces mRNA isoforms with different 3’UTR lengths. Previous studied indicated that 3’ end processing and mRNA nuclear export are intertwined in gene regulation. Here, we show that mRNA export factors generally facilitate usage of distal cleavage and polyadenylation sites (PASs), leading to expression of long 3’UTR isoforms. By focusing on the export receptor NXF1, which exhibits the most potent effect on APA in this study, we reveal a number of gene features that impact NXF1-dependent APA, including 3’UTR size, gene size and AT content. Surprisingly, downregulation of NXF1 results in accumulation of RNAP II at the 3’ end of genes, correlating with its role in APA regulation. Moreover, we show that NXF1 cooperates with CFI-68 to facilitate nuclear export of long 3’UTR isoform with UGUA motifs. Together, our work reveals several important roles of NXF1 in coordinating RNAPII distribution, 3’ end processing, and mRNA export of long 3’UTR transcripts, implicating NXF1 as the nexus of gene expression regulation.

Transcript shortening through alternative polyadenylation promotes gene expression during fracture healing

Project description:Maturation of the 3¢ end of almost all eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) requires cleavage and polyadenylation. Most mammalian mRNAs are polyadenylated at different sites within the last exon, generating alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms that have the same coding region but distinct 3¢ untranslated regions (UTRs). The 3¢UTR contains motifs that regulate mRNA metabolism; thus, changing the 3¢UTR length via APA can significantly impact gene expression. Endochondral ossification is a central process in bone healing, and the impact of APA on gene expression during this process is unknown. Here, we report widespread utilization of APA that impacts multiple pathways with established roles in bone healing. Importantly, progression of endochondral ossification is typified by global 3¢UTR shortening that is coupled with an increased abundance of shortened transcripts as compared to all other transcripts, underscoring the role of APA in promoting gene expression during endochondral bone formation. Our mechanistic studies of genes that undergo APA in the fracture callus uncover an intricate regulatory network in which APA boosts the expression of collagen, type I, alpha 1 (Col1a1) and Col1a2 genes, which encode the 2 subunits of the abundantly expressed protein collagen 1. APA does so via shortening the 3¢UTRs of Col1a1 and Col1a2 mRNAs, which removes the binding sites of miR-29a-3p that otherwise potently triggered the degradation of both transcripts. Taken together, our study takes the lead in characterizing crucial roles of APA in tailoring the 3¢UTR landscape and regulating gene expression during fracture healing.

Differentiation of syncytialized trophoblasts elicits widespread 3’UTR shortening that accompanies increased cellular function in protein secretion

Project description:Most eukaryotic genes express alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms with different 3’UTR sizes. The APA profile varies across tissue types and under different growth and differentiation conditions. Here we report that, unlike many other cell differentiation lineages, differentiation of syncytiotrophoblasts (SCTs) elicits widespread 3’UTR shortening, as shown in multiple in vitro trophoblast differentiation models as well as in single placental cells at different stages of pregnancy. We show that the 3’UTR shortening is unrelated to cell proliferation, a feature previously associated with 3’UTR size control, but rather accompanies increased cell function in protein secretion. In addition, 3’UTR shortening correlates with increased transcript abundance and is coupled with enhanced intronic APA site usage, suggesting activation of 3’ end processing in SCT differentiation. Together, our data indicate that SCTs utilize APA to express transcripts with short 3’UTRs, which may enhance hormone production and secretion, contributing to their functions in pregnancy.

Activation and inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay control the abundance of alternative polyadenylation products

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) produces transcript 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) with distinct sequences, lengths, stability, and functions. We show here that APA products include a class of cryptic nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) substrates with extended 3’UTRs that gene- or transcript-level analyses of NMD often fail to detect. Transcriptome-wide, the core NMD factor UPF1 preferentially recognizes long 3’UTR products of APA, leading to their systematic downregulation. Further, we find that many APA events consistently observed in multiple tumor types are controlled by NMD. Additionally, PTBP1, previously implicated in direct modulation of co-transcriptional polyA site choice, regulates the balance of short and long 3’UTR isoforms by inhibiting NMD. Our data suggest that PTBP1 binding near polyA sites can drive production of long 3’UTR APA products in the nucleus and/or protect them from decay in the cytoplasm. Together, our findings reveal a widespread role for NMD in shaping the outcomes of APA.
