Project description:We used a modification of GINI analysis to identify genes containing premature translation termination codons (PTC) generated by nonsense or frameshift mutations in prostate cancer cell lines. The analysis was performed in two steps. In the first step nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) was inhibited in prostate cancer cell lines using incubation with medium containing caffeine for 4 hours. Gene expression analysis of caffeine treated or untreated cells after this step detects mRNA accumulation that takes place for genes containing PTC and as well as for genes that show induction of transciption due to stress caused by NMD inhibition. In the second step either both transcription and NMD or transcription only are blocked by incubating cell in a medium containing either both actinomycin D and caffeine or actinomacin D only for 4 hours. Gene expression analysis after this second step detects mRNA degradation for genes containing PTC as well as for genes that show induction of transciption due to stress caused by NMD inhibition. The efficiency of mRNA degradation for genes containing PTC during this step depends on whether NMD is inhibited or not. The efficiency of mRNA degradation for stress response genes does not depend on whether NMD is inhibited or not. Our modified GINI protocol allows efficient separation of genes containing PTC from the genes that show mRNA increases due to stress response to NMD inhibition. Experiment Overall Design: The LNCaP and 22Rv1 cells were seeded into four 60 mm tissue culture plates each. Caffeine (10 mM) was added to three plates and one plate was incubated without caffeine as a control. Following four hours? incubation, the medium was removed from one plate (with caffeine) and from the control plate and total RNA was prepared using TRIZOL reagent, according to manufacturer?s instructions, and used for an Affymetrix U133Plus2.0 oligonucleotide array hybridization. The caffeine-containing medium of the two remaining plates was removed, the cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline and the medium with actinomycin D (2 mkg/ml) together with caffeine (10 mM) was added to one plate. Actinomycin D alone was added to the other plate. Following another four hours? incubation, the total RNA from both plates was prepared and used for an Affymetrix U133Plus2.0 oligonucleotide array analysis.

Project description:Inhibition of the nonsense mediated decay (NMD) mechanism in cells results in stabilization of transcripts carrying premature translation termination codons. A strategy referred to as gene indentification by NMD inhibition (GINI) has been proposed to identify genes carrying nonsense mutations (Noensie & Dietz, 2001). Genes containing frameshift mutations in colon cancer cell line have been identifying mutatnt genes using GINI, we have now further improved the strategy. In this approach, inhibition of NMD with emetine is complemented with inhibiting NMD by blocking the phosphorylation of the hUpf1 protein with caffeine. In addition, to enhance the GINI strategy, comparing mRNA level alterations produced by inhibiting transcription alone or inhbiiting transcription together with NMD following caffeine pretreatment were used for the efficient identification of false positives produced as a result of stress response to NMD inhibition. To demonstrate the improved efficiency of this approach, we analyzed colon cancer cell lines showing microstellite instability. Bi-allelic inactivating mutations were found in the FXR1, SEC1L1, NCOR1, BAT3, PHD14, ZNF294, C190ORF5 genes as well as genes coding for proteins with yet unknown functions.

Experiment Overall Design: Using GINI2 as a method of identifying novel biallelic truncating mutations in MSI+ colon cancer cells, various treatment conditions were applied to cultured colon cancer cell lines LS180 (MSI+) and SW480 (MSI-) and gene expression profiling was measured using Affymetrix GeneChip U133 Plus 2 arrays.

Project description:Rapamycin is a naturally occurring macrolide whose target is at the core of nutrient and stress regulation in a wide range of species. Despite well-established roles as an inhibitor of cap-dependent mRNA translation, relatively little is known about its effects on other modes of RNA processing. Here, we characterize the landscape of rapamycin-induced post-transcriptional gene regulation. Transcriptome analysis of rapamycin-treated cells revealed genome-wide changes in alternative mRNA splicing and pronounced changes in NMD-sensitive isoforms. We demonstrate that despite well-documented attenuation of cap-dependent mRNA translation, rapamycin can augment NMD of certain transcripts. Rapamycin-treatment significantly reduces the levels of both endogenous and exogenous PTC-containing mRNA isoforms and its effects are dose-, UPF1- and 4EBP-dependent manner. The PTC-containing SRSF6 transcript exhibits a shorter half-life upon rapamycin-treatment as compared to the non-PTC isoform. Rapamycin-treatment also caused depletion of PTC-containing mRNA isoforms from polyribosomes, underscoring the functional relationship between translation and NMD. Enhanced NMD activity also correlates with an enrichment of the nuclear Cap Binding Complex (CBC) in rapamycin-treated cells. Our data demonstrate that rapamycin modulates global RNA homeostasis by NMD.

Project description:A large number of genetic diseases are caused by various mutations in specific disease genes. A significant proportion (~15%) of these mutations are nonsense mutations that create a premature termination codon (PTC). Consequently, the Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay (NMD) surveillance pathway degrades a large fraction of PTC-containing mRNA. Translation of the remaining un-degraded PTC-containing mRNA terminates at the PTC, leading to no full-length protein production and hence disease. Therefore, suppressing NMD and translation termination at PTCs becomes an attractive strategy for combating these diseases. This work presents a novel approach, namely targeted PTC pseudouridylation, to suppress nonsense mutations in human cells. By co-transfecting human cells with a PTC-reporter gene and a designer box H/ACA guide RNA gene targeting the PTC, we show that targeted pseudouridylation suppresses both NMD and translation termination at PTCs in the contexts of various disease gene sequences. Furthermore, targeted pseudouridylation exhibits a level of suppression comparable to that of antibiotic treatments, and the suppressive effect is long-lasting in the cell. When targeted pseudouridylation is combined with the antibiotic treatment, a much higher level of suppression is observed. Remarkably, by transfecting a disease model cell line (carrying a chromosomal PTC) with a designer guide RNA gene alone targeting the PTC, we also observe nonsense suppression, suggesting the high potential of this novel approach in treating PTC-associated diseases. Finally, one of the restored full-length proteins is further tested to be functional. Targeted pseudouridylation appears to be the first RNA-directed gene-specific therapeutic approach that suppresses NMD and concurrently promotes PTC read-through.

Project description:Cell fate transitions depend on balanced rewiring of transcription and translation programmes to enable ordered developmental progression. We identified a feedback loop between nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and translation initiation, in which NMD controls the translation initiation factor Eif4a2 and its premature termination codon encoding isoform (Eif4a2-PTC). This leads to translation of a specific truncated protein, which elicits increased translation rates and is causative for significant delays in mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation. Using immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry, we identified the interactome of full length Eif4a2 (Eif4a2-iso1) and Eif4a2-PTC. We find that Eif4a2-iso1 is mainly involved in translation initiation, while unstable Eif4a2-PTC shows little interaction with translation initiation factors. Both isoforms can bind to mRNA, as indicated by the interaction with mRNA binding protein, such as NMD factors and Ago2. Finally, Eif4a2-iso1 and Eif4a2-PTC interact with key pluripotency factors, providing a potential explanation for how Eif4a2 controls ESC differentiation.

Project description:Identification of novel, highly penetrant, breast cancer susceptibility genes will require the application of additional strategies beyond that of traditional linkage and candidate gene approaches. Approximately one-third of inherited genetic diseases, including breast cancer susceptibility, are caused by frameshift or nonsense mutations that truncate the protein product [1]. Transcripts harbouring premature termination codons are selectively and rapidly degraded by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. Blocking the NMD pathway in any given cell will stabilise these mutant transcripts, which can then be detected using gene expression microarrays. This technique, known as gene identification by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay inhibition (GINI), has proved successful in identifying sporadic nonsense mutations involved in many different cancer types. However, the approach has not yet been applied to identify germline mutations involved in breast cancer. We therefore attempted to use GINI on lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from multiple-case, non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer families in order to identify additional high-risk breast cancer susceptibility genes. We applied GINI to a total of 24 LCLs,established from breast-cancer affected and unaffected women from three multiple-case non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer families. We then used Illumina gene expression microarrays to identify transcripts stabilised by the NMD inhibition. Total RNA obtained from the lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 24 individuals.

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved mRNA quality control mechanism that identifies and destroys aberrant mRNAs that contain premature termination codons (PTCs). The NMD core comprises seven proteins, from SMG1 to SMG7. Arabidopsis has orthologues of most of these proteins. Studies on yeast, Drosophila, Humans and Arabidopsis reveal that NMD not only functions to target PTC-containing mRNAs but also acts as a global regulator of gene expression. It has also been reported that the NMD pathway branches with some target genes being dependent on specific NMD factors. In order to determine the extent to which different NMD factors co-regulate or independently regulate Arabidopsis genes, transcriptome analysis of smg7b-1 mutants will be carried out and added to existent data of upf1, upf3 and smg5 NMD mutants for comparison. RNA will be extracted from 17 day-old mutant and wild type seedlings grown at 22-24 C under constant light. 4 samples were used in this experiment
