Project description:Hepatitis C virus uniquely requires the liver specific microRNA-122 for replication, yet global effects on endogenous miRNA targets during infection are unexplored. Here, high-throughput sequencing and crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) experiments of human Argonaute (Ago) during HCV infection showed robust Ago binding on the HCV 5’UTR, at known and predicted miR-122 sites. On the human transcriptome, we observed reduced Ago binding and functional mRNA de-repression of miR-122 targets during virus infection. This miR-122 “sponge” effect could be relieved and redirected to miR-15 targets by swapping the miRNA tropism of the virus. Single-cell expression data from reporters containing miR-122 sites showed significant de-repression during HCV infection depending on expression level and number of sites. We describe a quantitative mathematical model of HCV induced miR-122 sequestration and propose that such miR-122 inhibition by HCV RNA may result in global de-repression of host miR-122 targets, providing an environment fertile for the long-term oncogenic potential of HCV. AGO HITS-CLIP libraries were generated from mock, LNA or miravirsen treated, or from U3 virus electroporated Huh7.5 cells. Cells were harvested for CLIP 48 hours after small RNA treatment and 17 days after virus electroporation. LNA treatments for U3 virus infected cells was carried out for 48hours. Libraries were generated with a 4nt index read, a common priming sequence, followed by a 5nt degenerate barcode terminiating in a G. Files have been demultiplexed such that the 5nt degenerate barcode has been appended as the first 5 nucleotides of the read.

Project description:In mammals, RNA interference (RNAi) was historically studied as a cytoplasmic event, however, in the last decade growing number of reports convincingly show nuclear localization of the AGO proteins. Nevertheless, the mechanism and the extent of nuclear RNAi remains to be fully elucidated. We found that reduced Lamin A levels significantly induced nuclear influx of AGO2 in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma and A375 melanoma cancer cell lines, which normally have no nuclear AGO2. Lamin A KO manifested a more pronounced effect in SHSY5Y cells compared to A375 evident by changes in cell morphology, increased cell proliferation and oncogenic miRNA expression. Furthermore, in SHSY5Y cells, AGO fPAR-CLIP in Lamin A KO cells revealed significantly reduced activity of RNAi. Further exploration of the nuclear AGO interactome by mass spectrometry indicated that AGO2 is in complex with FAM120A, an RNA binding protein and known interactor of AGO2. By performing FAM120A fPAR-CLIP we discovered that FAM120A co-binds AGO targets and that this competition reduces the activity of RNAi. Therefore, loss of Lamin A triggers nuclear AGO2 translocation, RNAi impairment and selective upregulation of oncogenic miRNAs to facilitate cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs have emerged as key players in modulation of viral infection. A unique example is the critical dependence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the liver-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-122, which has surfaced as therapeutic target. Here, we used crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) of the Argonaute (AGO) protein to characterize strengths and specificities of miRNA interactions across 15 viral genomes. Intriguingly, replication of pestiviruses, which are major threats to milk and meat industry, critically depends on cellular miR-17 and let-7 interactions with the viral 3âUTR. Like HCV, miRNA binding enhanced translation and prevented viral RNA degradation. On the cellular transcriptome, pestiviral miR-17 sequestration in vitro and ex vivo conferred reduced AGO binding and functional mRNA de-repression for miR-17 targets. These findings generalize the concept of RNA virus dependence on cellular miRNAs, highlight such interactions as therapeutic targets, and connect functional regulation of the transcriptome in primary cells to miRNA sequestration. Several subseries of analyses were performed. For each sample, subseries to which it belongs are indicated. In the âVirus AGO-CLIPâ subseries, AGO-CLIP was performed on cells infected with virus as indicated. Processed reads were aligned to the host genome (hg18 or BosTau7) and to the respective viral genome. The primary data of interest from this subseries concerns AGO binding to viral RNA, and is given as processed data file âTable S1â. In the âVirus AGO-CLIP: BVDV vs. Mockâ subseries, AGO-CLIP was performed on four replicates each of BVDV and mock infected MDBK cells. CLIP reads aligned to BosTau7 were clustered, and differential analysis was performed on binding to each cluster. In addition, differential analysis of AGO bound miRNAs was performed. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S3 and S4â. In the âAGO-CLIP: tinyLNA-17 vs. Mockâ AGO-CLIP was performed on four replicates each of tinyLNA-17 and mock treated MDBK cells. CLIP reads aligned to BosTau7 were clustered, and differential analysis was performed on binding to each cluster. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S5â. In the âRNA-seq: BVDV vs. Mockâ subseries, mRNA-seq was performed on two replicates each of MDBK cells infected with different biotypes of BVDV or with miR-17 seed site mutant BVDV. The latter (incl. mock controls) were trans-complemented with the corresponding mutated miR-17. Differential gene expression analysis was performed between selected conditions. The associated data is given as processed data file âTable S6â.

Project description:Through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, small RNAs can influence translation, splicing, transcriptional activation, and transcriptional repression. RNAi is carried out by the targeting Argonaute (Ago) effector protein and the facilitating TNRC6 (also known as GW182) scaffolding protein. Here, we use a suite of gene knockout cell lines and high-throughput sequencing to gather definitive answers about the TNRC6 paralogs, their roles in the cell, and their relation to Ago knockout cell lines. Each subsequent TNRC6 paralog knockout caused more gene changes and few genes overlapped between the single TNRC6 paralog knockouts. In addition, TNRC6 knockout and Ago knockout cell lines’ gene expression profiles are highly correlated with one another, indicating the important regulatory functions these proteins share. Overall we found that in spite of less than 40% sequence identity, TNRC6 paralogs are functionally redundant and can replace one another for core RNAi functions.
