Bud13 Promotes a Type I Interferon Response by Countering Intron Retention in Irf7

ABSTRACT: Intron retention (IR) has emerged as an important mechanism of gene expression control. Despite this, the factors that control IR events remain poorly understood. We observed consistent IR in one intron of the Irf7 gene and identified Bud13 as an RNA-binding protein that acts at this intron to increase the amount of successful splicing. Deficiency in Bud13 led to increased IR, decreased mature Irf7 transcript and protein levels, and consequently to a dampened type I interferon response. This impairment of Irf7 production in Bud13 deficient cells compromised their ability to withstand VSV infection. Global analysis of Bud13 knockdown and BUD13 cross-linking to RNA revealed a subset of introns that share many characteristics with the one found in Irf7 and are spliced in a Bud13-dependent manner. Deficiency of Bud13 led to decreased mature transcript from genes containing such introns. Thus, by acting as an antagonist to IR, Bud13 facilitates the expression of genes at which IR occurs.

Response of IRF7-deficient peripheral blood mononuclear cells to pH1N1 influenza virus infection

Project description:IRF7 plays a critical role in the production and amplification of the antiviral type I and III interferon response. Autosomal recessive IRF7-deficiency resulted in life-threatening influenza disease in a 3-year-old child. We studied the impact of IRF7-deficiency in non-hematopoietic tissues (fibroblasts and lung epithelial cells) as well in hematopoietic cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)). Genome-wide gene expression analysis demonstrated a profound loss of type I and III IFNs in PBMCs infected with influenza virus. PBMCs were isolated from 4 healthy donors and patients with deficiencies for IRF7 and UNC93B. The cells were infected with influenza virus A/CA/4/2009 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 2 for 8 and 16 hours. Uninfected cells were cultured for 16 hours.

Genome-wide analysis of PTBP1-regulated retained introns in mESCs

Project description:Intron retention (IR) is an alternative splicing event where mRNAs containing unspliced introns are exported to the cytoplasm and then either translated, giving rise to new protein isoforms, or degraded via the nonsense-mediated decay pathway. However, unspliced introns are also seen in nuclear RNA. Some of these are spliced at a low rate but do eventually become fully spliced and their respective mRNAs exported, while others stay retained and are recognized by nuclear decay machineries. IR has been shown to be regulated during granulocyte and neuronal differentiation and in some cancers, and a subset of the nuclear retained introns, called detained introns, have been implicated in growth control pathways. Despite many findings on IR and its biological significance, it is still not clear whether an incompletely spliced intron observed is a true retained intron that is exported as an mRNA or is a product of slow splicing that remains in the nucleus. A better understanding is needed of the molecular events that reduce intron excision rate and determine the release of an RNA for export. We have found that some genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) produce RNAs that are highly associated with the high molecular-weight nuclear pellet (chromatin), rather than the soluble nucleoplasm or cytoplasm. This chromatin-associated RNA is polyadenylated, usually contains one or more incompletely spliced introns, and is often extensively bound by polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1). We hypothesize that PTBP1 inhibits splicing of these introns, and this causes sequestration of the transcript on chromatin. We are studying the role of PTBP1 in inhibiting intron excision and anchoring RNAs in the nuclear and chromatin compartments of mESCs.

Macrophage development and activation involve coordinated intron retention in key inflammatory regulators

Project description:Monocytes and macrophages are essential components of the innate immune system. Herein, we report that intron retention (IR) plays an important role in the development and function of these cells. Using mRNA sequencing, bioinformatics analyses and RT-qPCR validation, we identified differential IR and altered expression of key genes involved in macrophage development and function, both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that decreased IR in nuclear-detained mRNA is coupled to increased expression of genes encoding regulators of macrophage transcription, phagocytosis and inflammatory signalling, including ID2, IRF7, ENG and LAT. We further show that this dynamic IR program persists during the polarisation of resting macrophages into activated macrophages. In the presence of proinflammatory stimuli, intron-retaining CXCL2 and NFKBIZ transcripts in macrophages are rapidly spliced, leading to timely expression of these key inflammatory regulators by macrophages. Our study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling vital regulators of the innate immune response.

Alternative splicing landscape in Arabidopsis

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is a key regulatory mechanism that contributes to transcriptome and proteome diversity. As very few genome-wide studies analyzing AS in plants are available, we have performed high-throughput sequencing of a normalized cDNA library which resulted in a high coverage transcriptome map of Arabidopsis. We detect ~150,000 splice junctions derived mostly from typical plant introns, including a large number of U12 introns (2,069). Around 61% of multi-exonic genes are alternatively spliced under normal growth conditions. These values are much higher than previously reported and imply a significant role of AS in Arabidopsis transcriptome complexity. Moreover we provide experimental validation of 540 AS transcripts (from 256 genes coding for important regulatory factors) using high resolution RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. Intron retention (IR) is the most frequent AS event (~40%) but many IRs have relatively low read coverage and are less well represented in assembled transcripts. Additionally ~51% of Arabidopsis genes produce AS transcripts which do not involve IR. Therefore the significance of IR in generating transcript diversity is in general overestimated. IR analysis allowed the identification of a large set of cryptic introns inside annotated exons. Importantly 29% of these cryptic introns are in frame indicating a role in protein diversity. Furthermore we show extensive AS coupled to nonsense-mediated decay in AFC2, encoding a highly conserved LAMMER kinase which phosphorylates splicing factors, thus establishing a complex loop in AS regulation. We provide the most comprehensive analysis of AS to date which will serve as a valuable resource for the plant community to study transcriptome complexity and gene regulation.

DNA methylation regulates intron retention via altered MeCP2-mediated splicing factor recruitment

Project description:While intron retention (IR) is now recognized as a widespread and conserved mechanism of gene expression control, its regulation is poorly understood. Here, we identify significantly reduced DNA methylation levels near splice junctions flanking retained introns compared to non-retained introns in diverse primary cells and cell lines. Further, we identify increased IR following inhibition of DNA methylation indicating that reduced DNA methylation promotes IR. We demonstrate reduced occupancy of MeCP2 near the splice junctions of retained introns, mirroring the reduced DNA methylation at these sites. Accordingly, MeCP2 depletion in tissues/cells enhances IR. By analyzing the MeCP2 interactome, we demonstrate that decreased MeCP2 binding near splice junctions facilitates IR via reduced recruitment of the splicing factor, Tra2b, and increased RNA polymerase II stalling. Our study identifies a dynamic interplay between DNA methylation, MeCP2 and splicing factors including Tra2b in IR regulation and provides novel insights into the mechanisms governing splicing.

Silencing of Irf7 pathways in breast cancer cells promotes bone metastasis through immune escape mechanisms

Project description:Breast cancer metastasis to bone is a critical determinant of long-term survival after treatment of primary tumors. We used a mouse model of spontaneous bone metastasis to determine new molecular mechanisms. Differential transcriptome comparisons of primary and metastatic tumor cells revealed that a substantial set of genes suppressed in bone metastases were highly enriched for promoter elements for the type I interferon (IFN) regulatory factor, Irf7, itself suppressed in mouse and human metastases. The critical function of the Irf7 pathway was demonstrated by restoration of exogenous Irf7 or systemic interferon administration, which significantly reduced bone metastases and prolonged metastasis free survival. Using mice deficient in the type I receptor (Ifnar1-/-) or mature B, T and NK cell responses (NOD Scid IL-2rÎ³-/- mice) we demonstrated that Irf7-driven suppression of metastasis was reliant on IFN signaling to host immune cells. Metastasis suppression correlated with decreased accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and increased CD4++, CD8 T cells and NK cells in the peripheral blood and was reversed by depletion of CD8+ cells and NK cells. Clinical importance of our findings was demonstrated as increased primary tumor Irf7 expression predicted prolonged bone and lung metastasis-free survival. Thus we report for the first time, a novel innate immune pathway, intrinsic to breast cancer cells, whose suppression in turn restricts systemic immunosurveillance to enable metastasis. This pathway may constitute a novel therapeutic target for restricting breast cancer metastases. Comparison of basal gene expression in breast cancer 4T1.2 cell line stably transfected using the pMSCV retroviral expression vector system with IRF7 or the base vector. Three independent experiments were performed comparing the IRF7 expressing cells to the base vector cells
