DSCAM-AS1-driven proliferation of breast cancer cells involves regulation of alternative exon splicing and 3’-end usage

ABSTRACT: Background: DSCAM-AS1 is a cancer-related long noncoding RNA with higher expression levels in Luminal A, B and HER2-positive Breast Cancer (BC), where its expression is strongly dependent on Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα). Method: To decipher its function, DSCAM-AS1 expression was measured by qRT-PCR in tissue samples from 93 BC patients in addition to a meta-analysis of 30 gene expression datasets, together with the evaluation of its association with clinical data. By computational analyses of our RNA-Seq in MCF-7 cells, we investigated the DSCAM-AS1 knock-down effects at both gene and isoform levels Results: We confirmed DSCAM-AS1 overexpression in high grade Luminal A, B and HER2+ BCs and found a significant correlation with disease relapse. 908 genes were regulated by DSCAM-AS1-silencing, primarily involved in cell cycle and inflammatory response. Noteworthy, the analysis of alternative splicing and isoform regulation revealed 2,085 splicing events regulated by DSCAM-AS1, enriched in differential polyadenylation sites and 3’UTR shortening events. Finally, the DSCAM-AS1-interacting splicing factor hnRNPL was predicted as the most enriched RBP for exon skipping and 3’UTR events. Conclusion: The relevance of DSCAM-AS1 overexpression in BC is confirmed by clinical data and further enhanced by its possible involvement in the regulation of RNA processing, which is emerging as one of the most important dysfunctions in cancer.

Luminal lncRNAs Regulation by ERα-controlled Enhancers in a Ligand-independent Manner in Breast Cancer Cells

Project description:Estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is a ligand-inducible protein which mediates estrogenic hormones signaling and defines the luminal breast cancer phenotype. Recently, we demonstrated that ERα binds chromatin in absence of ligand (apoERα) regulating transcription of protein-coding genes and several lncRNAs. Noteworthy, apoERα-regulated lncRNAs marginally overlap estrogen-induced transcripts representing a signature of luminal breast cancer genes. DSCAM-AS1 is a paradigmatic example of apoERα activity since its expression is largely unaffected by estrogenic treatment despite an E2-induced increment of ERα binding on its promoter. Analysing H3K27ac ChIP-Seq performed in hormone-deprived MCF-7, we identified a set of Super Enhancers (SEs) occupied by apoERα including one mapped in proximity of DSCAM-AS1. Using ChIP-qPCR, we validated ChIP-Seq signal of apoERα, p300 and CTCF at both DSCAM-AS1 TSS and at its associated SE. Furthermore, analysing MCF-7 ChIA-PET data and performing a 3C experiment, we confirmed a long range chromatin interaction between the SE and the DSCAM-AS1 TSS. Interestingly, CTCF binding downstream to DSCAM-AS1 shows an enrichment in hormone-depleted medium as compared to other experimental conditions, indicating that CTCF demarcates enhancer actions at DSCAM-AS1 locus. The analysis of this lncRNA provides a paradigm of transcriptional regulation of a luminal specific apoERα regulated lncRNA.

Ultra-deep profiling of alternatively spliced Drosophila Dscam isoforms by circularization-assisted multi-segment sequencing

Project description:The Drosophila melanogaster gene Dscam can generate thousands of different ectodomains via mutual exclusive splicing of three large exon clusters. The isoform diversity plays a profound role in both neuronal wiring and pathogen recognition. However, it remained unexplored how many isoforms are indeed expressed, whether the splicing choice between the clusters is independent and why the diversity encoded in the gene locus seems to be beyond necessity. To address these questions, we developed IsomSeq, a novel multiple segment sequencing method that allows to directly quantify the alternatively spliced exon combination of Dscam isoforms within an entire cellular and organismal transcriptome. We sequenced the dscam repertoire of adult brain, S2 cell line, and 5 different developmental stages (embryo, L1, L2, L3, pupa)

Transfer of clinically relevant gene expression signatures in breast cancer: from Affymetrix microarray to Illumina RNA-Sequencing technology

Project description:Microarrays have revolutionized breast cancer (BC) research by enabling studies of gene expression on a transcriptome-wide scale. Recently, RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has emerged as an alternative for precise readouts of the transcriptome. To date, no study has compared the ability of the two technologies to quantify clinically relevant individual genes and microarray-derived gene expression signatures (GES) in a set of BC samples encompassing the known molecular BC's subtypes. To accomplish this, the RNA from 57 BCs representing the four main molecular subtypes (triple negative, HER2 positive, luminal A, luminal B), was profiled with Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 chips and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. The correlations of three clinically relevant BC genes, six molecular subtype classifiers, and a selection of 21 GES were evaluated. 58 tumors representing the different molecular subtypes [triple negative (ER-/PgR-/HER2-); HER2 positive (HER2+); luminal A (ER+/HER2-/histological grade 1), luminal B (ER+/HER2-/histological grade 3)] were obtained from patients recruited between 2007 and 2011 at the Institut Jules Bordet. RNA was profiled using the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 chips and sequenced on the Illumina platform, producing ~30 million 50 bp paired-end reads per sample. The reads alignment and expression quantification were performed using the Tophat/Cufflinks pipeline and the Ensembl genome version hg19. The Affymetrix microarray data were normalized using fRMA and probesets were selected based on the JetSet reannotation package. This submission represents the gene expression component of the study only.

Epigenome analysis of normal ductal breast samples and infiltrating ductal breast cancer (BC) classified by tumour subtype

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of non-tumoral and infiltrating ductal breast cancer (tumoral) samples. The HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpG in non-tumoral and tumoral samples. Non-tumoral samples included six frozen non-neoplastic breast tissues from reduction mammoplasties and tumoral samples included eight frozen tumors from each BC subtype, i.e. luminal A (LA), luminal B (LB), luminal-HER2 (LH), HER2 (H) and triple-negative (TN) (Total: 40 tumors).

Trastuzumab produces therapeutic actions by upregulating miR-26a and miR-30b in breast cancer cells

Project description:Objective: Trastuzumab has been used for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer (BC). However, a subset of BC patients exhibited resistance to trastuzumab therapy. Thus, clarifying the molecular mechanism of trastuzumab treatment will be beneficial to improve the treatment of HER2-positive BC patients. In this study, we identified trastuzumab-responsive microRNAs that are involved in the therapeutic effects of trastuzumab. Methods and results: RNA samples were obtained from HER2-positive (SKBR3 and BT474) and HER2-negetive (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) cells with and without trastuzumab treatment for 6 days. Next, we conducted a microRNA profiling analysis using these samples to screen those microRNAs that were up- or downregulated only in HER2-positive cells. This analysis identified miR-26a and miR-30b as trastuzumab-inducible microRNAs. Transfecting miR-26a and miR-30b induced cell growth suppression in the BC cells by 40% and 32%, respectively. A cell cycle analysis showed that these microRNAs induced G1 arrest in HER2-positive BC cells as trastuzumab did. An Annexin-V assay revealed that miR-26a but not miR-30b induced apoptosis in HER2-positive BC cells. Using the prediction algorithms for microRNA targets, we identified cyclin E2 (CCNE2) as a target gene of miR-30b. A luciferase-based reporter assay demonstrated that miR-30b post-transcriptionally reduced 27% (p=0.005) of the gene expression by interacting with two binding sites in the 3’-UTR of CCNE2. Conclusion: In BC cells, trastuzumab modulated the expression of a subset of microRNAs, including miR-26a and miR-30b. The upregulation of miR-30b by trastuzumab may play a biological role in trastuzumab-induced cell growth inhibition by targeting CCNE2. We obtained microRNA expression profiles of breast cancer cell lines, MCF7, MDA-MB-231, SKBR3, and BT474, with or without trastuzumab (4microgram/mL) treatment.

Memory consolidation in honey bees is enhanced by down-regulation of Down Syndrome Cell Adhesion Molecule and changes its alternative splicing

Project description:Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) gene encodes a cell adhesion molecule required for neuronal wiring. A remarkable feature of invertebrate Dscam is massive alternative splicing generating thousands of different isoforms from three variable clusters of alternative exons. Dscam expression and diversity arising from alternative splicing have been studied during development, but whether they exert functions in differentiated brains has not been determined. Here, using honey bees, we find that Dscam expression is critically linked to memory retention as reducing expression by RNAi enhances memory after reward learning in adult worker bees. Moreover, alternative splicing of Dscam is altered in all three variable clusters after learning. Since identical Dscam isoforms engage in homophilic interactions, these results suggest a mechanism to alter inclusion of variable exons during memory consolidation possibly to alter neuronal connections for memory retention.

Luminal B breast cancer subtype displays a dichotomic epigenetic pattern

Project description:Purpose In breast cancer, specific aberrant methylation patterns have been associated with different BC histologic and molecular subtypes and data suggest that DNA methylation profiles may play an important role in the development and progression of distinct breast subtypes. However, the epigenome of the newly defined luminal B and luminal B-HER2 positive breast cancers has not yet been characterized. Therefore the main goal of the current study is to deciphered the aberrant DNA methylation profiles associated with these breast cancer subtypes. Experimental Design 29 luminal subtype breast cancer samples along with 8 control tissue were epigenetically interrogated using the HumanMethylation27 DNA Analysis BeadChip. Results Luminal B-HER2 + subtype displays the most aggressive phenotype and shows the highest number of aberrantly methylated CpG markers. On the other hand, the luminal B subtype harbours an heterogeneous DNA methylation profile that seems to be half way between the luminal A and luminalB-HER2+ subtypes. Conclusions The heterogeneous epigenetic and genetic profile of the luminal B subtype, might indicate that a further stratification has to be done for this specific breast cancer subtype.
