Endogenous shRNAs, siRNAs, and Other Microprocessor-independent, Dicer-dependent Small RNAs in Mouse ES Cells

ABSTRACT: Canonical microRNAs (miRNAs) require two processing steps: the first by the Microprocessor, a complex of DGCR8 and Drosha, and the second by Dicer. dgcr8delta/delta mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) have less severe phenotypes than dicer1delta/delta mESCs, suggesting a physiological role for Microprocessor-independent, Dicer-dependent small RNAs. To identify these small RNAs with unusual biogenesis, we performed high-throughput sequencing from wild type, dgcr8delta/delta, and dicer1delta/delta mESCs. Several of the DGCR8-independent, Dicer-dependent RNAs were non-canonical miRNAs. These derived from mirtrons and a newly identified subclass of miRNA precursors, which appears to be the endogenous counterpart of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). Our analyses also revealed endogenous siRNAs resulting from Dicer cleavage of long hairpins, the vast majority of which originated from one genomic locus with tandem, inverted short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). Our results extend the known diversity of mammalian small-RNA generating pathways and show that mammalian siRNAs exist in tissues outside of oocytes.

Small RNAs were sequenced from wt, dgcr8(-), and dicer(-) mouse ES cells and the frequencies of small RNA types compared between the three. This record includes Illumina-platform-generated datasets from all three samples and 454-platform-generated datasets from wt and dgcr8(-) samples. [raw data files are unavailable]

Functional non-canonical microRNAs in the mammalian hippocampus and cortex

Project description:Non-canonical microRNAs (miRNAs) and endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are distinct subclasses of small RNAs that bypass the DGCR8/Drosha Microprocessor but still require Dicer for their biogenesis. What, if any, role they have in mammals remains unknown. To identify potential roles for these Microprocessor-independent, Dicer-dependent small RNAs, we compared the phenotypes resulting from conditional deletion of dgcr8 versus dicer in post-mitotic neurons. Loss of dicer resulted in an earlier lethality, more severe structural abnormalities, and increased apoptosis relative to dgcr8 loss. Deep sequencing of small RNAs from the hippocampus and cortex of the conditional knockouts and control littermates identified multiple novel non-canonical microRNAs including new mirtrons H/ACA box snoRNA-derived small RNAs, and a previously unidentified mammalian subclass derived from C/D box snoRNAs. These non-canonical miRNAs were expressed at high levels in the brain relative to other tissues. In contrast, we found no evidence for endo-siRNAs in the brain. Taken together, our findings provide evidence for a diverse population of highly expressed non-canonical miRNAs that together play important functional roles in post-mitotic neurons.

A biogenesis step upstream of Microprocessor controls miR-17~92 expression

Project description:The precise control of miR-17~92 microRNA (miRNA) is essential for normal development and overexpression of certain miRNAs from this cluster is oncogenic. Here we find the relative expression of the six miRNAs processed from the primary (pri-miR-17~92) transcript is dynamically regulated during embryonic stem cell differentiation. We identify a new miRNA biogenesis intermediate, termed ‘progenitor-miRNA’ (pro-miRNA), that is an efficient substrate for Microprocessor. An autoinhibitory 5’ RNA fragment is cleaved to generate pro-miRNA and selectively license Microprocessor-mediated production of pre-miR-17, -18a, -19a, 20a, and -19b. Using genetic, biochemical, and structural methods we define two complementary cis-regulatory repression domains required for the formation of this inhibitory RNA conformation. We find the endonuclease CPSF3 (CPSF73), and the Spliceosome-associated ISY1 are required for pro-miRNA biogenesis and expression of all miRNAs within the cluster except miR-92. Thus, developmentally regulated generation of pro-miRNA explains the posttranscriptional control of miR-17~92 expression in development.

Global identification of target recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor in human ESCs.

Project description:The Microprocessor plays an essential role in canonical miRNA biogenesis by facilitating cleavage of stem-loop structures in primary transcripts to yield pre-miRNAs. Although miRNA biogenesis has been extensively studied through biochemical and molecular genetic approaches, it has yet to be addressed to what extent the current miRNA biogenesis models hold true in intact cells. To address the issues of in vivo recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor, we investigate RNAs that are associated with DGCR8 and Drosha by using immunoprecipitation coupled with next-generation sequencing. Here, we present global protein-RNA interactions with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity. Our data indicate that precursors of canonical miRNAs and miRNA-like hairpins are the major substrates of the Microprocessor. As a result of specific enrichment of nascent cleavage products, we are able to pinpoint the Microprocessor-mediated cleavage sites per se at single-nucleotide resolution. Unexpectedly, a 2-nt 3M-bM-^@M-^Y overhang invariably exists at the ends of cleaved bases instead of nascent pre-miRNAs. Besides canonical miRNA precursors, we find that two novel miRNA-like structures embedded in mRNAs are cleaved to yield pre-miRNA-like hairpins, uncoupled from miRNA maturation. Our data provide a framework for in vivo Microprocessor-mediated cleavage and a foundation for experimental and computational studies on miRNA biogenesis in living cells.

Expression data from wild-type, Dgcr8 knockout and Dicer knockout ES cells

Project description:Dgcr8 and Dicer are both important components of the microRNA biogenesis pathway while Dicer is also implicated in biogenesis of other types of small RNAs such as siRNAs and mirtrons. Here we performed microarray analysis of WT, Dgcr8 and Dicer knockout ES cells to identify mRNAs differentially regulated upon loss of Dgcr8 and Dicer.

DGCR8 HITS-CLIP reveals novel functions for the Microprocessor (CLIP-seq)

Project description:The Drosha-DGCR8 complex (Microprocessor) is required for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis. DGCR8 contains two double-stranded RNA binding motifs that recognize the RNA substrate, whereas Drosha functions as the endonuclease. We have used high-throughput sequencing of RNAs isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) to identify endogenous RNA targets of DGCR8 in mammalian cells. Unexpectedly, miRNAs were not the most abundant targets. DGCR8-bound RNAs comprised several hundred mRNAs as well as snoRNAs and long non-coding RNAs. We found that DGCR8 together with Drosha controls the abundance of several mRNAs, as well as long non-coding RNAs, such as MALAT-1. By contrast, the DGCR8-mediated cleavage of snoRNAs is independent of Drosha, suggesting the involvement of DGCR8 in cellular complexes with other endonucleases. Interestingly, binding of DGCR8 to cassette exons, acts as a novel mechanism to regulate the relative abundance of alternatively spliced isoforms. Collectively, these data provide new insights in the complex role of DGCR8 in controlling the fate of several classes of RNAs.

MicroRNA function is globally suppressed in mouse oocytes and early embryos

Project description:Dicer, which is required for the processing of both microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), is essential for oocyte maturation. Oocytes express both miRNAs and endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs). To determine whether the abnormalities in Dicer knockout oocytes during meiotic maturation are secondary to the loss of endo-siRNAs and/or miRNAs, we deleted Dgcr8, which encodes a RNA binding protein specifically required for miRNA processing. In striking contrast to Dicer, Dgcr8 deficient oocytes matured normally and, when fertilized with wild-type sperm, produced healthy appearing offspring, even though miRNA levels were reduced to similar levels as Dicer deficient oocytes. Furthermore, the deletion of both maternal and zygotic Dgcr8 alleles did not impair preimplantation development including the determination of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm. Most surprisingly, the mRNA profiles of wild-type and Dgcr8 null oocytes were essentially identical while Dicer null oocytes showed hundreds of misregulated transcripts. These findings show that miRNA function is globally suppressed during oocyte maturation and preimplantation development and that endo-siRNAs, rather than miRNAs, underlie the Dicer knockout phenotype in oocytes. We used microarrays to understand at the global level how loss of miRNAs and/or siRNAs is impacting mRNA levels in mouse oocytes.
