Project description:It is now clearly established that immune system can affect cancer response to therapy. However, the influence of tumor microenvironment on immune cells is not completely understood. In this respect, alternative splicing is increasingly described to affect immune system biology. Here, we showed that tumor microenvironment, by increasing alternative splicing events, induced the expression of an alternative isoform of the IRF1 transcription factor in Th1 cells. Furthermore, we also shown, in both mice and humans, that IRF1 alternative isoform alters IRF1 full form transcriptional activity on Il12rb1 promotor, resulting in decreased IFN-? secretion in Th1 cells. Thus, IRF1-short isoform increases in tumor microenvironment and to prevent this isoform appearance could potentiate Th1 cell antitumor effect.

Project description:Human ZRANB2 mRNA is alternatively spliced to give two variants with different 3M-bM-^@M-^Y ends. Both isoforms are present in the nucleus of human cells. ZRANB2 binds to mRNA, as well as the essential splicing factors U170K and U2AF35, and the novel splicing component SFRS17A (formerly known as XE7). It has been shown to alter splicing patterns of Tra2M-NM-21 minigene primary transcripts in a dose-dependent manner. It is still unclear what role ZRANB2 plays in the regulation of alternative splicing. To determine the endogenous transcripts that are targeted by ZRANB2 at the genome wide level, we decided to perform exon microarray studies and analyzed the suitability of this method to examine splicing differences in human cells overexpressing a splicing factor. GFP-ZRANB2 construct containing isoform 2 (short form, SF) of ZRANB2 was used. This construct includes exon 1 through to alternative exon 10. Isoform 2 was chosen since it has been shown previously to affect alternative splicing of a Tra2M-NM-21 minigene. HeLa cells were transfected with GFP-ZRANB2, control vector GFP or were left untransfected. RNA was extracted using a Qiagen RNA extraction kit. Experiments were run in 5 replicates.

Project description:This model describes the concept of Cancer Stem Cells(CSC) differentiation and tumor-immune interaction into a generic model that has been validated with known experimental data. Created by COPASI 4.24(Build197)
Abstract:
The tumor microenvironment comprising of the immune cells and cytokines acts as the 'soil' that nourishes a developing tumor. Lack of a comprehensive study of the interactions of this tumor microenvironment with the heterogeneous sub-population of tumor cells that arise from the differentiation of Cancer Stem Cells (CSC), i.e. the 'seed', has limited our understanding of the development of drug resistance and treatment failures in Cancer. Based on this seed and soil hypothesis, for the very first time, we have captured the concept of CSC differentiation and tumor-immune interaction into a generic model that has been validated with known experimental data. Using this model we report that as the CSC differentiation shifts from symmetric to asymmetric pattern, resistant cancer cells start accumulating in the tumor that makes it refractory to therapeutic interventions. Model analyses unveiled the presence of feedback loops that establish the dual role of M2 macrophages in regulating tumor proliferation. The study further revealed oscillations in the tumor sub-populations in the presence of TH1 derived IFN-γ that eliminates CSC; and the role of IL10 feedback in the regulation of TH1/TH2 ratio. These analyses expose important observations that are indicative of Cancer prognosis. Further, the model has been used for testing known treatment protocols to explore the reasons of failure of conventional treatment strategies and propose an improvised protocol that shows promising results in suppressing the proliferation of all the cellular sub-populations of the tumor and restoring a healthy TH1/TH2 ratio that assures better Cancer remission.

Project description:Alternative splicing of RNA transcripts can result in a multitude of variations from the genome. Since splicing can occur co-transcriptionally, chromatin structure has been reported to affect the choice of a splice site. TIP60 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor gene that is frequently downregulated in cancers. Since TIP60 is a writer of histone and non-histone modifications, we investigated TIP60’s role in modulating alternative splicing. RNA sequencing was performed in TIP60-depleted MCF10A cells and with cells rescued with wild-type or catalytically inactive TIP60. The majority of the differential splicing events were skipped exon events, including exon 25 skipping event of ITGA6. To identify the splicing factor that regulates this event, a siRNA screen of 77 splicing factors was employed. TIP60 depletion results in an increase in the ITGA6 isoform that lacks exon 25 and the siRNA screen identified ESRP2 to regulate splicing of ITGA6 exon 25. This study suggests that alternative splicing of ITGA6 exon 25 is regulated by the TIP60-ESRP2 axis.

Project description:Background:Breast cancer is the second most frequent type of cancer affecting women. We are increasingly aware that changes in mRNA splicing are associated with various characteristics of cancer. The most deadly aspect of cancer is metastasis, the process by which cancer spreads from the primary tumor to distant organs. However, little is known specifically about the involvement of alternative splicing in the formation of macroscopic metastases. Our study investigates transcript isoform changes that characterize tumors of different abilities to form growing metastases. Results:To identify alternative splicing events (ASEs) that are associated with the fully metastatic phenotype in breast cancer, we used Affymetrix Exon Microarrays to profile mRNA isoform variations genome-wide in weakly metastatic (168FARN and 4T07) and highly metastatic (4T1) mammary carcinomas. Statistical analysis identified significant expression changes in 7606 out of 155,994 (4%) exons and in 1725 out of 189,460 (1%) intronic regions, which affect 2623 out of 16,654 (16%) genes. These changes correspond to putative alternative isoforms - several of which are novel - that are differentially expressed between tumors of varying metastatic phenotypes. Gene pathway analysis showed that 1224 of genes expressing alternative isoforms were involved in cell growth, cell interactions, cell proliferation, cell migration and cell death and have been previously linked to cancers and genetic disorders. We chose ten predicted splice variants for RT-PCR validation, eight of which were successfully confirmed (MED24, MFI2, SRRT, CD44, CLK1 and HNRNPH1). These include three novel intron retentions in CD44, a gene in which isoform variations have been previously associated with the metastasis of several cancers. Conclusions:Our findings reveal that various genes are differently spliced and/or expressed in association with the metastatic phenotype of tumor cells. Identification of metastasis-specific isoforms may contribute to the development of improved breast cancer stage identification and targeted therapies. Keywords: Seek pre-mRNA changes associated with the fully metastatic phenotype in breast cancer We used RNA tumor tissues derived from three murine mammary carcinoma cell lines (168FARN, 4T07 and 4T1); four biological replicates of 168FARN, four biological replicates of 4T07, and four biological replicates of 4T1 were hybridized independently at McGill university site.

Project description:Background Alternative splicing is known to increase the complexity of mammalian transcriptomes since nearly all mammalian genes express multiple pre-mRNA isoforms. However, our knowledge of the extent and function of alternative splicing in early embryonic development is based mainly on a few isolated examples. High throughput technologies now allow us to study genome-wide alternative splicing during mouse development. Results A genome-wide analysis of alternative isoform expression in embryonic day 8.5, 9.5 and 11.5 mouse embryos and placenta was carried out using a splicing-sensitive exon microarray. We show that alternative splicing and isoform expression is frequent across developmental stages and tissues, and is comparable in frequency to the variation in whole-transcript expression. The genes that are alternatively spliced across our samples are disproportionately involved in important developmental processes. Finally, we find that a number of RNA binding proteins, including putative splicing factors, are differentially expressed and spliced across our samples suggesting that such proteins may be involved in regulating tissue and temporal variation in isoform expression. Using an example of a well characterized splicing factor, Fox2, we demonstrate that changes in Fox2 expression levels can be used to predict changes in inclusion levels of alternative exons that are flanked by Fox2 binding sites. Conclusions We propose that alternative splicing is an important developmental regulatory mechanism. We further propose that gene expression should routinely be monitored at both the whole transcript and the isoform level in developmental studies. 25 samples were analyzed. Developmental stages e8.5, e9.5 and e11.5 (embryos from all 3, placenta for only e9.5 and e11.5). 5 biological replicates for each.

Project description:The objective of our study was to determine whether aberrant alternative splicing could play a role in the malignant phenotype of GBM. Patients with GBM were operated with 5-aminolevulinic fluorescence guided surgery. The fluorescent was used to take biopsies from the tumor center, and from adjacent normal-looking tissue. Three paired normal/GBM samples were analyzed in a HJAY J array. We validated our results with conventional PCR and qRT-PCR in those tumor samples and in ten additional GBMs. We performed functional studies using MTT assays (proliferation) and IF qRT-PCR (differentiation). We generated a list of seven genes with differential alternative splicing between central tumor samples and the adjacent normal-looking tissue. DPF-2(BAF45d) was one of our top candidates. Interestingly, DPF-2 is known as a tumor suppressor gene in the context of the SWI/SNF complex and plays a key role in the development of the central nervous system. The inhibition of our DPF-2 isoform resulted in a significative reduction in proliferation and in a morphology changes towards a more differentiated phenotype in GBM cell lines. Interestingly, our DPF2 tumoral isoform was the predominant transcript in early postnatal murine neural precursors and its expression disappeared as these cells were instructed towards neurons. Our results suggest that the alternative splicing of DPF-2 in GBM could participate in the maintenance of an undifferentiated cellular state. In addition, our data suggest that alternative splicing is a mechanism that could be central to GBM development We compared three paired samples of tumor (glioma)/normal like and 1 sample of pooled brain RNA from healthy donors

Project description:Pathogen recognition via the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways leads to inflammatory responses by innate immune cells. The Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) is an ubiquitin-binding protein which negatively regulates TLR signaling. We have previously described extensive alternative splicing of Tollip in human and mouse macrophages. In the current study we examined the role of two mouse Tollip isoforms in innate immune responses: the canonical full-length form (Tollip.a), and a novel 220 amino acid isoform (Tollip.b), which lacks the Ub-binding domain. We hypothesized that alternative splicing of this negative regulator contributes to the diversification of macrophage responses to pathogens. The function of the two Tollip isoforms was studied by over-expressing the variants in the macrophage-like cell line, RAW264.7.

Project description:Through alternative processing of pre-mRNAs, individual mammalian genes often produce multiple mRNA and protein isoforms that may have related, distinct or even opposing functions. Here we report an in-depth analysis of 15 diverse human tissue and cell line transcriptomes based on deep sequencing of cDNA fragments, yielding a digital inventory of gene and mRNA isoform expression. Analysis of mappings of sequence reads to exon-exon junctions indicated that ~94% of human genes undergo alternative splicing (AS), ~86% with a minor isoform frequency of 15% or more. Differences in isoform-specific read densities indicated that a majority of AS and alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) events exhibit variation between tissues. Variations in alternative mRNA isoform expression between 6 individuals were also detected in cerebellar cortex, with ~2- to 3-fold less isoform variation observed between individuals than between tissues. Extreme or 'switch-like' regulation of splicing between tissues was associated with increased sequence conservation and with generation of full-length open reading frames. Patterns of AS and APA were strongly correlated across tissues, suggesting coordinated regulation, and sequence conservation of known regulatory motifs in both regulated introns and 3' UTRs suggested common involvement of the same factors in regulation of tissue-specific splicing and polyadenylation.
