Profiling of RNAs from human islet-derived exosomes in a model of type 1 diabetes

ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by immune mediated destruction of insulin producing β cells. Biomarkers capable of identifying T1D risk and dissecting disease-related heterogeneity represent an unmet clinical need. Aims: Towards the goal of informing T1D biomarker strategies, we profiled different classes of RNAs in human islet-derived exosomes and identified RNAs that were differentially expressed under cytokine stress conditions. Human pancreatic islets were obtained from cadaveric donors and treated with/without IL-1β and IFN-γ to mimic the pro-inflammatory T1D milieu. Total RNA and small RNA sequencing were performed to identify long (mRNA and long non-coding RNAs) and different classes of small non-coding RNAs. RNAs with fold change ≥ 1.3 and p-value < 0.05 were considered as differentially expressed. mRNAs and miRNAs species represented the most abundant long and small RNA species, respectively. Expression patterns of each class of RNA were changed with cytokine treatment. Differentially expressed long RNAs and targets of small non-coding RNAs were predicted to be involved in insulin secretion, calcium signaling, necrosis and apoptosis. Our data provides the first comprehensive catalog of protein coding and non-coding RNAs in human islet-derived exosomes and identifies RNAs that are dysregulated under cytokine stress.

Analysis of micro-RNA expression profiles in human islets and islet-derived exosomes during cytokine mediated β cell stress and death

Project description:Biomarkers capable of monitoring β cell stress during the evolution of type 1 diabetes (T1D) are currently lacking. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs ~22 nucleotides in length that modulate gene expression by binding to the 3’untranslated region of target mRNAs. Given their stability in biological fluids and enrichment in cell-derived EVs, we hypothesized that miRNAs from human islet and islet-derived EVs could identify β-cell stress/death and be leveraged in T1D biomarker strategies. To test this, human islets were obtained from 10 cadaveric donors (5 male/5 female) and treated with or without cytokines (IL-1β and IFN-γ) for 24 hrs, as an ex vivo model of T1D. Small RNA sequencing was performed and identified 1110 and 890 miRNAs in total and 20 and 14 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs (fold change≥1.5 and p<0.05) from islets and EVs, respectively. These findings were validated in an independent set of cytokine-treated islets and islet-derived EVs (7M and 5F donors). Interestingly, miRNA expression pattern was strikingly different between male and female donors at baseline and under cytokine stress with < 10% overlap among the DE miRNAs. miR-155-5p and miR-146a-5p were the only two miRNAs that were upregulated in cytokine-treated islets and EVs in both the sexes. Functional enrichment analysis of DE miRNAs identified pathways such as insulin signaling, ER stress and apoptosis. Taken together, these data suggest that miRNA expression patterns change dynamically in both human islets and islet-derived EVs in response to pro-inflammatory cytokine stress. EV miRNAs were largely distinct from those in the islet fraction, suggesting that miRNAs are selectively packaged into EVs in response to extrinsic cues. Finally, these data highlight the importance of considering sex as a biological variable when defining T1D biomarkers.

Next generation sequencing of small RNAs isolated from exosomes in human semen

Project description:Preparation of exosomes isolated from semen contain a substantial amount of RNA, mostly from 20 to 100 nucleotides in length. We sequenced separately 20-40 and 40-100 nucleotide fractions of RNA from exosomes isolated from semenal fluid from six healthy donors. We found various classes of small non-coding RNA, including mature microRNA and piwi-RNA, as well as abundant Y RNAs and tRNAs present in both full length and fragmented forms. Specific RNAs were consistently present in all donors. For example, fifteen (of ~2,600 known) microRNAs constituted over 80% of mature microRNA in SE. Additionally, tRNA fragments were strongly enriched for 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-ends of 18-19 or 30-34 nucleotides in length.

Islet Sympathetic Innervation and Islet Neuropathology in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:Dysregulation of glucagon secretion in type 1 diabetes (T1D) involves hypersecretion during postprandial states, but insufficient secretion during hypoglycemia. The sympathetic nervous system regulates glucagon secretion. To investigate islet sympathetic innervation in T1D, sympathetic tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) axons were analyzed in control non-diabetic organ donors, non-diabetic islet autoantibody-positive individuals (AAb), and age-matched persons with T1D. Islet TH axon numbers and density were significantly decreased in AAb compared to T1D with no significant differences observed in exocrine TH axon volume or lengths between groups. TH axons were in close approximation to islet α-cells in T1D individuals with long-standing diabetes. Islet RNA-sequencing and qRT-PCR analyses identified significant alterations in noradrenalin degradation, α-adrenergic signaling, cardiac b-adrenergic signaling, catecholamine biosynthesis, and additional neuropathology pathways. The close approximation of TH axons at islet α-cells supports a model for sympathetic efferent neurons directly regulating glucagon secretion. Sympathetic islet innervation and intrinsic adrenergic signaling pathways could be novel targets for improving glucagon secretion in T1D.

Characterization and selective incorporation of small non-coding RNAs in non-small cell lung cancer exosomes

Project description:Exosomes play important roles in intercellular communication through the delivery of their cargoes, which include proteins, lipids, and RNAs. Increasingly, multiple studies have reported the association between exosomal small non-coding RNAs and cancer, due to their regulatory functions in gene expression. Hence, analysis of the features of small non-coding RNA expression and their incorporation into exosomes is important for cancer research. Here, we performed deep sequencing to investigate the expression of small RNAs in plasma exosomes from lung adenocarcinoma patients, lung squamous cell carcinoma patients, and healthy controls. We found that 5’ YRNA hY4-derived fragments are significantly upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exosomes, and may serve as a novel class of circulating biomarkers for NSCLC diagnosis. We also identified that the RNY4P7 gene on chromosome 2 may not be a pseudogene, because the corresponding transcript hY4 reverse fragment was detected in exosomes and cells. Further, we demonstrated that a panel of small RNAs, including miR-451a and miR-122-5p, may be selectively sorted into NSCLC exosomes. Overall, our studies have indicated a wider range of biological effects in NSCLC that may be mediated by exosomal small RNAs than previously known.

Evidence for Existence of Multiple Functional Human Small RNAs Derived from Transcripts of Protein-coding Genes II

Project description:Human genome encodes a multitude of different non-coding transcripts that have been traditionally separated based on their lengths into long or small non-coding RNAs. The vast majority of both long and short non-coding transcripts are not annotated and their functions, mechanisms of action and biological relevance remain unknown. However, based on the functional understanding of the known classes of long and small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) that have been shown to play crucial roles in multiple biological processes, it is generally assumed that many unannotated long and small transcripts participate in important cellular functions as well. Still, direct evidence of functionality is lacking for most non-coding transcripts, especially for sncRNAs that are often dismissed as stable degradation products of longer RNAs. Here, we have developed a high-throughput assay to test functionality of sncRNAs based on overexpressing them in human cells. Surprisingly, we found that a significant fraction (> 40%) unannotated sncRNAs appear to have biological relevance. Furthermore, contrary to the expectation, the potentially functional transcripts are not highly abundant and can be derived from protein-coding mRNAs. These results strongly suggest that the small non-coding transcriptome can harbor multiple functional transcripts that warrant future studies.

Identification of urinary exosomal non-coding RNAs biomarkers for high-grade prostate cancer using RNA-seq analysis

Project description:Prostate cancer is one of the major cancers that seriously affect men's health. The low specificity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer has resulted in the overdiagnosis and subsequent overtreatment of clinically indolent tumors. There is an urgent need for noninvasive and easy diagnostic assays to help evaluate whether a prostate biopsy is warranted. Many non-coding RNAs (eg, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs) have been reported to play key roles in prostate cancer progression, showing great potential to impact cancer diagnostics and therapies. Remarkably, exosomes secreted by cells into body fluids contain molecules that reflect the disease information, and urinary exosomes could be used to detect prostate cancer as a new type of liquid biopsies. Non-coding RNAs are enriched and stable in exosomes. We performed high-throughput sequencing on urine-derived exosomes of 11 patients with high-grade (Gleason score 7 or greater) prostate cancer and 11 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia to screen differentially expressed non-coding RNAs.

Prevalence of inflammatory pathways over immuno-tolerance in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of recent-onset type 1 diabetes

Project description:Background Changes in innate and adaptive immunity occurring in/around pancreatic islets had been observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of Caucasian T1D patients by some, but not all researchers. The aim of our study was to investigate whether gene expression patterns of PBMC of the highly admixed Brazilian population could add knowledge about T1D pathogenic mechanisms. METHODS: We assessed global gene expression in PBMC from two groups matched for age, sex and BMI: 20 patients with recent-onset T1D (≤ 6 months from diagnosis, in a time when the autoimmune process is still highly active), testing positive for one or more islet autoantibodies and 20 islet autoantibody-negative healthy controls. RESULTS: We identified 474 differentially expressed genes between groups. The most expressed genes in T1D group favored host defense, inflammatory and anti-bacterial/antiviral effects (LFT, DEFA4, DEFA1, CTSG, KCNMA1) and cell cycle progression. Several of the downregulated genes in T1D target cellular repair, control of inflammation and immune tolerance. They were related to T helper 2 pathway, induction of FOXP3 expression (AREG) and immune tolerance (SMAD6). SMAD6 expression correlated negatively with islet ZnT8 antibody. The expression of PDE12, that offers resistance to viral pathogens was decreased and negatively related to ZnT8A and GADA levels. The increased expression of long non coding RNAs MALAT1 and NEAT1, related to inflammatory mediators, autoimmune diseases and innate immune response against viral infections reinforced these data CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis suggested the activation of cell development, anti-infectious and inflammatory pathways, indicating immune activation, whereas immune-regulatory pathways were downregulated in PBMC from recent-onset non-Caucasian T1D patients with a different genetic profile.

Microarray analysis to investigate the global expression of miRNAs in pediatric T1D patients in comparison to non-diabetic controls.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that target multiple mRNAs and regulate gene expression. The implication of miRNAs in T1D pathogenesis, as potential modulators of immune response genes, remains poorly defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of miRNAs in new onset T1D to identify autoimmune associated miRNAs.
