Project description:Post-transcriptional regulatory networks are dependent on the interplay of many RNA-binding proteins having a major role in mRNA processing events in mammals. We have been interested in the concerted action of the two RNA-binding proteins hnRNP A1 and HuR, both stable components of immunoselected hnRNP complexes and having a major nuclear localization. Specifically, we present here the application of the RNA-immunoprecipitation (RIP)-Chip technology to identify a population of nuclear transcripts associated with hnRNP A1-RNPs as isolated from the nuclear extract of either HuR WT or HuR-depleted (KO) mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. The outcome of this analysis was a list of target genes regulated via HuR for their association (either increased or reduced) with the nuclear hnRNP A1-RNP complexes. Real time PCR analysis was applied to validate a selected number of nuclear mRNA transcripts, as well as to identify pre-spliced transcripts (in addition to their mature mRNA counterpart) within the isolated nuclear hnRNP A1-RNPs. The differentially enriched mRNAs were found to belong to GO categories relevant to biological processes anticipated for hnRNP A1 and HuR (such as transport, transcription, translation, apoptosis and cell cycle) indicative of their concerted function in mRNA metabolism. Ribonucleoprotein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) using hnRNP A1 specific antibody was performed in nuclear extracts from HuR WT and HuR KO Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs). RNA isolated from these IPs together with nuclear RNA from the two cell types, was subjected to microarray analysis. Three biological replicates, representing three independent experiments, are available for each condition except in the case of nuclear RNA isolated from HuR WT MEFs that one replicate didn’t pass the quality control.

Project description:Integrative regulatory mapping indicates that the RNA-binding protein HuR (ELAVL1) couples pre-mRNA processing and mRNA stability In this dataset, we employed two distinct experiments. 1) HuR RIP-chip to identify mRNA targets of HuR. 2) HuR knockdown to identify mRNAs whose expression are dependent on HuR. All 12 samples were normalized with PLIER using Affymetrix power tools. To identify RNA targets of HuR, HuR RIP samples were compared to Mock RIP samples. To identify RNA regulated by HuR, HuR knockdown samples were compared to mock knockdown samples.

Project description:IL-20 cytokines are involved in the establishment of psoriasis, a common chronic skin inflammation epidemiologically associated with metabolic syndrome, but molecular mechanisms underlying their over-expression remain to be elucidated. We find that keratinocytes (KCs) expressed IL-20 and lymphocytes expressed IL-22 cytokines up-regulation occurs at post-transcriptional level with stabilization of their RNA messengers. Looking at psoriatic epidermis, we observe that the p38/MK2 pathway is not activated but that the RNA-binding protein (RBP) HuR re-localizes in keratinocytes cytoplasm, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation of numerous mRNAs. HuR ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitations analyzed by high-throughput sequencing (RIP-Seq) identify potential pre-mature and mature RNA targets for uninvolved and involved skin and confirms that HuR activity is displaced from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Numerous psoriasis up-regulated transcripts are HuR targets and HuR knockdown reduces expression of transcripts like beta-defensin-2, CXCL-10 or IL-2, suggesting an implication of HuR in pathophysiological processes such as morphological, immune and metabolic inflammatory responses. Finally, metabolic disorders affecting psoriatic keratinocytes are responsible for HuR cytoplasmic localization since a decreased activity of the cellular metabolic sensor AMPK, that is observed in human psoriatic epidermis, is sufficient to promote HuR cytosolic localization as well as IL-20 over-production both in human keratinocytes and in vivo in mouse epidermis where it then initiates psoriasis-like histological changes. These results may provide insights into molecular links between metabolism and post-transcriptional networks during chronic inflammation, as illustrated in psoriasis by mechanisms connecting AMPK, HuR and IL-20. Analysis of HuR-binding RNA in uninvolved versus involved psoriatic samples by RIP-Seq. Samples from five different patients were used for both uninvolved and involved skin. RIP-Seq was also made using a control IgG.

Project description:HuR is a regulator of mRNA turnover or translation of inflammatory genes through binding to adenylate-uridylate-rich elements (ARE) and related motifs present in the 3’untranslated region (UTR) of mRNAs. We aimed to identify HuR targets in the human airway epithelial cell line BEAS-2B challenged with TNFa plus IFNg, a strong stimulus for inflammatory epithelial responses. Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes from resting and cytokine-treated cells were immunoprecipitated (IP) using anti-HuR and isotype-control antibody, and eluted mRNAs were reverse-transcribed and hybridized to an inflammatory-focused gene array. The chemokines CCL2, CCL8, CXCL1 and CXCL2 ranked highest among 27 signaling and inflammatory genes significantly enriched in the HuR RNP-IP from stimulated cells over the control IP. Among these, 20 displayed published HuR binding motifs. Association of HuR with the four endogenous chemokine mRNAs was validated by single-gene RNP-IP, and shown to be 3’UTR-dependent by biotin pull-down assay. Cytokine treatment increased mRNA stability only for CCL2 and CCL8, and transient silencing and overexpression of HuR affected only CCL2 and CCL8 expression in primary and transformed epithelial cells. Cytokine-induced CCL2 mRNA was predominantly cytoplasmic; conversely, CXCL1 mRNA remained mostly nuclear and unaffected, as CXCL2, by changes in HuR levels. Increase in cytoplasmic HuR and HuR target expression partially relied on the inhibition of AMP-dependent kinase, a negative regulator of HuR nucleocytoplasmic shuttling.

Project description:The purpose of the study was to identify mRNA bound to HuR in the presence of doxorubicin in MCF7 cells. We collected cytoplasmic RNA from untreated and treated cells and detected differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We also coimmunoprecipitated HuR and IgG (as control) from doxorubicin treated cells. Comparison between HuR RIP and IgG RIP signals was used to discriminate specific mRNA bound to HuR. HuR coimmmunoprecipitated material was hybridized together with cytoplasmic mRNA of doxorubicin treated cells, enabling the fold enrichment calculation and the selection of mRNAs bound to HuR. Keywords: RIP-Chip, HuR, doxorubicin, MCF7, HuR consensus binding, post-transcriptional regulation. We subjected MCF7 cells to starvation for 24h and then we added doxorubicin at final concentration of 10 uM, profiling before and after 4 hours of treatment in biological quadruplicate (only on cytoplasmic mRNAs, as HuR was found in the cytoplasm). Differentially expressed genes, altered during the treatment, were identified. Data derived from HuR RIP-Chip and IgG RIP-Chip (in biological quadruplicate) allowed the identification of specific mRNAs bound to HuR. The comparison between HuR RIP-Chip and cytoplasmic extracts from doxorubicin treated cells (in biological triplicate) identified those genes that were more strictly bound to HuR independently from their expression levels.

Increase in cytoplasmic HuR and HuR target expression partially relied on the inhibition of AMP-dependent kinase, a negative regulator of HuR nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. We postulate that HuR critically regulates the epithelial response, by associating with multiple adenylate-uridylate-rich elements (ARE)-bearing, functionally related inflammatory transcripts. On the basis of genome-wide studies probing the relationship between RNA-binding proteins and the functional profile of their associated transcripts, we combined the specific HuR immunoprecipitation of RNPs and the genome-scale microarray to profile the target mRNAs of HuR in the human airway epithelial cell line BEAS-2B challenged with very strong inflammatory stimulation, TNFa plus IFNG. The array platform we used is the Human Autoimmune and Inflammatory Response Gene Array (SuperArray Bioscience, Frederick, MD). To validate the association of HuR and its target mRNAs, we planned to apply biotin pull-down assay. HuR overexpression and knockdown assays were also planned to further verify the association of HuR and its target mRNAs. Overall, we did three biological replicates for the IP array experiments, which include both IgG1 control IP and HuR IP arrays.

Project description:The Human antigen R protein (HuR) is a RNA-binding protein that recognizes U/AU-rich elements in diverse RNAs through two RNA-recognition motifs, RRM1 and RRM2, and post-transcriptionally regulates the fate of target RNAs. The natural product Dihydrotanshinone-I (DHTS) prevents the association of HuR and target RNAs in vitro and in cultured cells by interfering with the binding of HuR to RNA. Here, we report the structural determinants of the interaction between DHTS and HuR and the impact of DHTS on HuR binding to target mRNAs transcriptome-wide. NMR titration and Molecular Dynamic simulation identified the residues within RRM1 and RRM2 responsible for the interaction between DHTS and HuR. RNA Electromobility Shifts and Alpha Screen Assays showed that DHTS interacts with HuR through the same binding regions as target RNAs, stabilizing HuR in a locked conformation that hampers RNAs binding competitively. HuR ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation followed by microarray (RIP-chip) analysis showed that DHTS treatment of HeLa cells paradoxically enriched HuR binding to mRNAs with longer 3’UTR and with higher density of U/AU-rich elements, suggesting that DHTS inhibits the association of HuR to weaker target mRNAs. In vivo, DHTS potently inhibited xenograft tumor growth in a HuR-dependent model without systemic toxicity.
