LncRNA ASTILCS as an important regulator of liver carcinoma cell survival [shRNA cassette seq]

ABSTRACT: Extensive genomic studies have significantly improved our understanding of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) biology and have led to the discovery of multiple protein-coding genes driving hepatocarcinogenesis. In addition, these studies have identified thousands of new non-coding transcripts deregulated in HCC, suggesting these transcripts are important for disease progression. Long non-coding RNA is a large class of non-coding transcripts which participate in the regulation of virtually all cellular functions. However, a majority of lncRNAs remain dramatically understudied. Here, we applied a pooled shRNA-based screen to identify lncRNAs essential for HCC cell survival. We validated our screening results using RNAi, CRISPRi, and antisense oligonucleotides. We found a lncRNA, termed ASTILCS, is critical for HCC cell growth and is overexpressed in tumors from HCC patients. We demonstrated that HCC cell death upon ASTILCS knockdown is associated with apoptosis induction and downregulation of a neighboring gene, Protein Tyrosine Kinase 2 (PTK2), a crucial protein for HCC cell survival. Taken together, our study describes a novel regulator of HCC progression providing valuable insight in HCC biology.

Long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs expression analysis of HCC

Project description:Although many protein-coding genes have been identified to be aberrantly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the mechanisms that account for development and progression of HCC remain unclear. In recent years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have critical regulatory roles in mammalian cell biology. Many lncRNAs can result in aberrant expression of gene products that may contribute to cancer biology. In this study, we first identified non-overlapping signatures of a small number of lncRNAs that are aberrantly expressed in human HCC compared with paired peritumoral tissues. Then we used real-time PCR to validate five lncRNAs whose expression was altered in HCC compared with paired peritumoral tissues. Using loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches, we found that an lncRNA (termed lncRNA-HEIH) plays a key role in cell cycle regulation. We further demonstrated that lncRNA-HEIH bound to enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and that this interaction was required for the repression of EZH2 target genes. Together, these results reveal insights into the molecular regulation mechanisms of HCC cell cycle regulation and lead us to propose that lncRNAs may serve as key regulatory hubs in cancer biology. A ten chip study using total RNA recovered from five separate HCC tissues and five corresponding paired non-tumor samples.

The long noncoding RNA expression profile of hepatocellular carcinoma identified by microarray analysis

Project description:To explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 3 pairs of human HCC and adjacent normal tissue (NT) by microarray. With abundant probes accounting for 33,045 lncRNAs and 30,215 coding transcripts in our microarray, the number of lncRNAs and coding transcripts that could be detected here is 10,149 and 14,944, respectively. From the data, thousands of lncRNAs and mRNAs were found to bedifferentially expressed (Fold Change≥2.0) in HCC tissues compared with NT and identified 624 lncRNAs and 1050 mRNAs were differentially expressed in all three HCC tissues.Bioinformatic analysis (gene ontology, pathway and network analysis) was performed for further study of these differentially expressed mRNAs.By qRT-PCR analysis in nineteen pairs HCC and adjacent normal tissues, we found that eightl ncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in HCC compared with corresponding NT, which is consistent with microarray data. Additionally, change trends of seven lncRNAs were basically identical to their nearby coding genes. In this study, to explore the potential involvement of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) oncogenesis, we conducted lncRNA and mRNA profiling in 3 pairs of human HCC and adjacent normal tissue (NT) by microarray.

LncRNA expression profiles of 59 tumorous liver tissues derived from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs longer than 200 nt that function in endogenous gene regulation and tumorigenesis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous disease with different treatment outcome. It is a challenge to develop a prognostic marker to identify HCC patients who are at greatest risk for recurrence or death. In this study, we try to screen lncRNAs whose expression levels are associated with recurrence or death of HCC patients through an extensive lncRNA profiling study on a cohort of 59 HCC patients. For these experiments, we used RNA extracted from 59 HCC tissues and 20 normal livers. Total RNAs from the 20 normal livers were pooled and used as a reference for all microarray experiments. For each microarray experiment, Cy5-labeled probes derived from the DNase-treated total RNA from each HCC sample was hybridized against Cy3-labeled probes derived from common reference on Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray (Arraystar, Rockville, USA). LncRNAs whose expression was significantly associated with disease-specific survival and time to recurrence were selected based on microarray data. The univariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of lncRNAs with survival. We computed a statistical significance level (P value) for two endpointsM-bM-^@M-^Tthe time to cancer-related death and time to recurrence, based on univariate Cox proportional hazards models in BRB-ArrayTools version 4.2.0.

Comprehensive Identification of Soybean Long Non-coding RNAs Reveals a Subset of Small Peptide-Coding Transcripts

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as non-protein-coding transcripts that are at least 200 nucleotides long. They are known to play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression, especially during stress responses in plants. We used a large collection of in-house transcriptome data from various soybean (Glycine max and Glycine soja) tissues treated under different conditions to perform a comprehensive identification of soybean lncRNAs. We also retrieved publicly available soybean transcriptome data that were of sufficient quality and sequencing depth to enrich our analysis. In total, RNA-seq data of 332 samples were used for this analysis. An integrated reference-based, de novo transcript assembly was developed that identified ~69,000 lncRNA gene loci. We showed that lncRNAs are distinct from both protein-coding transcripts and genomic background noise in terms of length, number of exons, transposable element composition, and sequence conservation level across legume species. The tissue-specific and time-specific transcriptional responses of the lncRNA genes under some stress conditions may suggest their biological relevance. The transcription start sites of lncRNA gene loci tend to be close to their nearest protein-coding genes, and they may be transcriptionally related to the protein-coding genes, particularly for antisense and intronic lncRNAs. A previously unreported subset of small peptide-coding transcripts was identified from these lncRNA loci via tandem mass spectrometry, which paved the way for investigating their functional roles. Our results also highlight the current inadequacy of the bioinformatic definition of lncRNA, which excludes those lncRNA gene loci with small open reading frames (ORFs) from being regarded as protein-coding.

Long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs profiles in mouse liver development

Project description:Many protein-coding oncofetal genes are highly expressed in murine and human fetal liver and silenced in adult liver. The protein products of these hepatic oncofetal genes have been used as clinical markers for the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and as therapeutic targets for HCC. Herein, we examined the expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs found in fetal and adult liver in mice.LncRNA-mPvt1 is an oncofetal RNA that was found to promote cell proliferation, cell cycling and the expression of stem cell-like properties of murine cells. Human lncRNA-hPVT1 promotes cell proliferation, cell cycling and the acquisition of stem cell-like properties in HCC cells by stabilizing NOP2 protein. Regulation of the lncRNA-hPVT1/NOP2 pathway may have beneficial effects in the treatment of HCC. We collected mouse fetal livers (E12.5, E14.5, E17.5 days), neonatal murine livers and adult murine livers (8 weeks). The total RNAs recovered from these developmental livers and were used to acquire different expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs.

Oncogenic BRAFV600E remodels the melanocyte transcriptome and induces BANCR to regulate melanoma cell migration [HT-seq]

Project description:Most cancer genomics papers to date have focused on aberrations in genomic DNA and protein-coding transcripts. However, around 50% of transcripts have no coding potential and may exist as non-coding RNA. We performed RNA-seq in BRAFv600e melanoma skin cancer and on melanocytes over-expressing oncogenic BRAF to catalog transcriptome remodeling. We discovered that BRAF regulates expression of 1027 protein coding transcripts, 39 annotated lncRNAs and 70 novel transcripts. Many of the novel transcripts are lncRNAs. We used an indepenedent dataset to interrogate our novel transcripts and found that the novel lncRNA BANCR is a BRAF-regulated lncRNA recurrently upregulated in melanoma. Knockdown of BANCR impairs melanoma cell migration. Whole transcriptome RNA-seq followed assembly to Refseq/Gencode and de novo transcript assembly. RNA-seq performed on: 2 BRAFv600e melanomas, melanocytes+RFP control and melanocytes + BRAFv600e. We discovered protein-coding transcripts, annotated ncRNAs and novel transcripts (including lncRNAs) regulated by BRAFv600e also coordinately expressed in melanoma.
