Intramolecular ligation method (iLIME) for pre-miRNA quantification and sequencing

ABSTRACT: Hairpin-containing pre-miRNAs are precursors of microRNAs (miRNAs) that play important roles in cellular processes and various human diseases. Pre-miRNAs are produced from longer primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs). The falsity in cellular expression and sequences of pre-miRNAs might cause cellular defects or human diseases. However, the current pre-miRNA quantification methods by qPCR cannot discriminate between pre-miRNAs and their parental pri-miRNAs. In addition, the ligation of the sequencing adapter to 5’-end of pre-miRNAs is inefficient, therefore, pre-miRNA sequencing is highly impractical. Here, we developed a method, called the intramolecular ligation method (iLIME) for pre-miRNA quantification and sequencing. This method utilized T4 RNA ligase 1 to convert hairpin-pre-miRNAs into circularized RNAs that do not naturally exist in cells. The resulting circuliarized RNAs allow us to design unique primers to quantify pre-miRNAs by qPCR specicially, and thus this qPCR can distinguish pre-miRNA from pri-miRNAs. In addition, the iLIME also allows us to sequence pre-miRNAs using next-generation sequencing. The iLIME method offers a simple and effective way to quantify and sequence pre-miRNAs. This will be useful in investigating pre-miRNAs for addressing research questions for medical applications. The iLIME can be potentially extended to other hairpin-containing RNAs, such as tRNAs and snRNAs.

A quantitative map of human primary microRNA processing sites

Project description:Maturation of canonical microRNA (miRNA) is initiated by DROSHA that cleaves the primary transcript (pri-miRNA). Over 1,800 miRNA loci are annotated in humans, but it remains largely unknown if and at which sites the pri-miRNAs are cleaved by DROSHA. Here we performed in vitro processing on a full set of human pri-miRNAs (miRBase v21) followed by sequencing. This comprehensive profiling enabled us to classify miRNAs based on DROSHA-dependence and map their cleavage sites with respective processing efficiency measures. Only 758 pri-miRNAs are confidently processed by DROSHA, while the majority may be non-canonical or false entries. Analyses of the DROSHA-dependent pri-miRNAs show key cis-elements for processing. We observe widespread alternative processing as well as unproductive cleavage events such as “nick” or “inverse” processing. SRSF3 is a broad-acting auxiliary factor modulating alternative processing and suppressing unproductive processing. The profiling data and methods developed in this study will allow systematic analyses of miRNA regulation.

XPO5 is required for miRNA biogenesis and promotes primary miRNA processing independent of RanGTP

Project description:XPO5 mediates nuclear export of miRNA hairpin precursors in a RanGTP-dependent manner. However, the requirement of XPO5 for global miRNA biogenesis and mammalian development and XPO5-associated RNA species are not determined. Here we show that XPO5 is required for mouse embryonic development and morphogenesis of skin and brain. Loss of XPO5 compromises the biogenesis of most miRNAs and that leads to severe developmental defects. Surprisingly, XPO5 not only associates with miRNA hairpin precursors but also pervasively binds to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) regions found in many cellular RNAs and some clustered pri-miRNAs. The binding of XPO5 to miR-17~92 pri-miRNAs is RanGTP-independent. Pre-incubation with XPO5 enhances the processing efficiency of the DROSHA/DGCR8 microprocessor. Together, our studies demonstrate the requirement of XPO5 for miRNA biogenesis and mouse development, reveal an unexpected role of XPO5 for recognizing and facilitating the nuclear cleavage of clustered pri-miRNAs and identify numerous cellular RNAs as novel XPO5 subtracts.

Genome-wide quantification of microRNA processing efficiency from RNA-seq data

Project description:Microprocessor is responsible for conversion of pri-miRNA transcripts into pre-miRNA hairpins in miRNA biogenesis. The in vivo properties of this process remain enigmatic. Here, we present the first study of in vivo transcriptome-wide pri-miRNA processing using next-generation sequencing of chromatin-associated pri-miRNAs. We identify a distinctive Microprocessor signature in the transcriptome profile, from which efficiency of the endogenous processing event can be accurately quantified. This analysis reveals differential susceptibility to Microprocessor cleavage as a key regulatory step in miRNA biogenesis. Processing is highly variable among pri-miRNAs and a better predictor of miRNA abundance than primary transcription itself. Processing is also largely stable across three cell lines, suggesting a major contribution of sequence determinants. Based on differential processing efficiencies we define functionality for short sequence features adjacent to the pre-miRNA hairpin. In conclusion, we identify Microprocessor as the main hub for diversified miRNA output and suggest a role for uncoupling miRNA biogenesis from host gene expression.

Bias-minimized quantification of microRNA reveals widespread alternative processing and 3′ end modification

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate diverse biological and pathological processes via post-transcriptional gene silencing. High-throughput small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) has been widely adopted to investigate the functions and regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs. However, accurate quantification of miRNAs has been limited owing to the severe ligation bias in conventional sRNA-seq methods. Here we quantify miRNAs and their variants (known as isomiRs) by an improved sRNA-seq protocol, termed AQ-seq (accurate quantification by sequencing), that utilizes adapters with terminal degenerate sequences and a high concentration of polyethylene glycol (PEG), which minimize the ligation bias during library preparation. Measurement using AQ-seq allows us to correct the previously misannotated 5′ end usage and strand preference in public databases. Importantly, the analysis of 5′ terminal heterogeneity reveals widespread alternative processing events which have been underestimated. We also identify highly uridylated miRNAs originating from the 3p strands, indicating regulations mediated by terminal uridylyl transferases at the pre-miRNA stage. Taken together, our study reveals the complexity of the miRNA isoform landscape, allowing us to refine miRNA annotation and to advance our understanding of miRNA regulation. Furthermore, AQ-seq can be adopted to improve other ligation-based sequencing methods including crosslinking-immunoprecipitation-sequencing (CLIP-seq) and ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq).

Structural atlas of human primary microRNAs generated by SHAPE-MaP

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) maturation is critically dependent on structural features of primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs). However, the scarcity of determined pri-miRNA structures has limited our understanding of miRNA maturation. Here we employed SHAPE-MaP, a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, to unravel the secondary structures of 476 high-confidence human pri-miRNAs. Our SHAPE-based structures diverge substantially from those inferred solely from computation, particularly in the apical loop and basal segments, underlining the need for experimental data in RNA structure prediction. By comparing the structures with high-throughput processing data, we determined the optimal structural features of pri-miRNAs. The sequence determinants are influenced substantially by their structural contexts. Moreover, we identified an element termed the bulged GWG motif (bGWG) with a 3′ bulge in the lower stem, which promotes processing. Our structure-function mapping better annotates the determinants of pri-miRNA processing and offers practical implications for designing small hairpin RNAs and predicting the impacts of miRNA mutations.

High-efficiency RNA cloning enables quantitative measurement of miRNA expression by deep sequencing

Project description:MiRNA-mediated regulation depends on the stoichiometry between miRNAs and their mRNA targets. To decipher dynamic function of this complex layer, it is critical to characterize individual miRNA species within a specific cellular context. Small RNA cloning followed by deep sequencing is uniquely positioned as a genome-wide profiling method to quantify miRNA expression with potentially unlimited dynamic range and provide single-nucleotide resolution for precise miRNA classification and de novo discovery. However, significant biases introduced by RNA ligation steps in the current RNA cloning protocol often lead to inaccurate miRNA quantification by >1000-fold deviation. As a result, it has greatly hindered the broad application of this method. Here we report a highly efficient RNA cloning method that achieves over 90% efficiency for both 5’ and 3’ ligations with diverse small RNA substrates. When applied to a pool of either equimolar or differentially mixed synthetic miRNAs, the deviation of the cloning frequency for each miRNA is minimized to less than 2-fold of the anticipated value. By using samples obtained from multiple tissues and cells, we further demonstrate the accurate quantification of miRNA expression over a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude. Our results also reveal that most cistronic miRNAs are expressed at similar levels and, in each cell population, miRNAs repress their cognate targets in a dosage dependent manner. Collectively, our high-efficiency RNA cloning method combining with deep sequencing establishes a cost-effective approach for accurate genome-wide miRNA profiling. We designed an artificial system composed of synthetic miRNAs for benchmarking biases in small RNA cDNA cloning for NGS.

Sensitivity and linear dynamic range of miRNA detection

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in many different cellular, developmental, and physiological processes. Accordingly, numerous methods have been established to identify and quantify miRNAs. The shortness of miRNA sequence results in a high dynamic range of melting temperatures and, moreover, impedes a proper selection of detection probes or optimized PCR primers. While miRNA microarrays allow for massive parallel and accurate relative measurement of all known miRNAs, they have so far been less useful as an assay for absolute quantification. Here, we present a microarray based approach for global and absolute quantification of miRNAs. The method relies on an equimolar pool of about 1000 synthetic miRNAs of known concentration which is used as an universal reference and labeled and hybridized in a dual colour approach on the same array as the sample of interest. Each single miRNA is quantified with respect to the universal reference outbalancing bias related to sequence, labeling, hybridization or signal detection method. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method by various spike in experiments. Further, we quantified miRNA copy numbers in liver samples and CD34(+)CD133(-) hematopoietic stem cells. The linear dynamic range and sensitivity of the microarray was measured by hybridizing dilution series of a Universal Reference (UR), an equimolar mixture of synthetic miRNAs. The UR was hybridized with 10,000 to 1 amol of each individual miRNA. Each individual miRNA and 1 fmol of each of 18 RNA oligonucleotides reverse complement to miRControl 3 probes was fluorescently labelled by 3â ligation. The RNA mix was hybridized in a dual colour approach to microarrays versus a second labelled synthetic miRNA pool.

The Interplay between K63-linked Polyubiquitinated DDX17 and m6A-modified miRNAs Regulates Hypoxia-induced Tumor Initiation

Project description:DEAD-box RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a significant role in RNA metabolism to achieve cellular homeostasis, including miRNA biogenesis and transcription. Hypoxia induces stemness cell-like characteristics in cancer cells and promotes malignant progression. Despite the fact that hypoxia can induce the changes in protein and RNA modification, thereby regulating downstream gene expressions, how modifications at different molecular layers interplay with each other are poorly understood. Here we show that hypoxia induces HectH9-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination of the DEAD-box protein DDX17 as well as reduces N6-methyladenosine (m6A) marks in pri-miRNAs. While m6A potentiates DDX17 binding to pri-miRNAs, decreased m6A modifications of pri-miRNAs and increased polyubiquitination of DDX17 under hypoxia lead to decreased DDX17 binding to pri-miRNAs binding. These events enhance the association of DDX17 with the ubiquitin receptor p300 and lead to a decrease in miRNA biogenesis, especially for miRNAs regulating stemness and stemness-related genes. In addition, polyubiquitinated DDX17 together with p300 upregulates H3K56Ac levels on the stemness and stemness-related genes, resulting in enhancement of tumor initiating ability. Post-transcriptionally, decreased miRNA production, including those targeting stemness genes or stemness-related genes, also facilitates tumor initiation. Together, hypoxia triggers DDX17 poly-ubiquitination, which orchestrates dual mechanisms to increase tumor initiating ability and promote tumor progression.
