Expanded transcriptomic analysis of human hepatic stellate cells links novel coding and noncoding products to human liver fibrosis

ABSTRACT: We have performed analysis of the transcriptome of human HSCs to define the long noncoding (lnc) RNAs expressed in this cell type, including many not previously annotated. Through analysis of full-length RNA transcripts, we identified additional lncRNAs that were not assembled by short reads. We also discovered new isoforms of protein coding genes that encode amino acid sequences that are not present in annotated isoforms. Analysis of non-polyadenylated RNAs did not identify additional genes encoding long noncoding RNA transcripts, but did reveal the presence of hundreds of circular (circ) RNAs, including those with potential for translation. Incorporating these transcripts and genes into analysis of a published dataset of human liver fibrosis revealed the induction of lncRNAs, novel protein isoforms, and circRNAs associated with development of disease. These results identify RNAs and amino acid sequences expressed in HSCs and associated with human liver disease that may serve as therapeutic targets to inhibit fibrosis or biomarkers to benchmark progression of disease.

Expression data that were specifically regulated by lncRNA-LFAR1 in mouse primary HSCs

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes; however, few have been identified that regulate hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation and the progression of liver fibrosis. Through a detailed analysis of the expression of lncRNAs in various tissues, we discovered the existence of a liver enriched lncRNA-LFAR1 (lncRNA-Liver Fibrosis Associated RNA1). To identify the roles of lncRNA-LFAR1 in liver fiboris, we systematically analyzed the regulation of mRNAs in primary HSCs infected with two separated lnc-LFAR1-shRNAs by RNA-seq, which revealed a panel of mRNAs that were specifically regulated by lncRNA-LFAR1 in mouse primary HSCs.

Conserved long noncoding RNA TILAM promotes liver fibrosis in humans and mice.

Project description:Fibrosis is the common endpoint for all forms of chronic liver injury, and progression of fibrosis is responsible for the development of end stage liver disease and liver failure. The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and their transition to HSC myofibroblasts is a key step in the disease process, as these cells are the primary source of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which form the fibrotic scar. Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs can regulate the activity of HSCs, and lncRNAs that promote the fibrotic activity of HSCs may provide targets for antifibrotic therapies. Here, we identified and defined the functional mechanisms of a conserved lncRNA that plays a critical role in promoting liver fibrosis. We found that TILAM is conserved between human and mouse HSCs, and regulates expression of type 1 collagen, a major component of the ECM. To determine the role of TILAM in vivo, we annotated the mouse ortholog (Tilam), generated Tilam-deficient GFP-reporter mice, and challenged these mice in two different models of liver fibrosis. Analysis of GFP expression revealed that Tilam is induced in murine HSCs with the development of fibrosis in vivo. In both male and female mice, we also observed that loss of Tilam resulted in reduced fibrosis in the setting of injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and choline-deficient L-amino acid defined high fat diet (CDA-HFD). Finally, we found that TILAM interacts with PML to stabilize PML protein expression and promote the fibrotic activity of HSCs. Together, these results define an lncRNA conserved between humans and mice that is activated uniquely in HSCs to drive the development of fibrosis and could provide a therapeutic target to combat the development of end stage liver disease.

The long noncoding RNA neuroLNC modulates neurotransmitter release interacting with a neurodegeneration-associated protein

Project description:The roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in synaptic transmission and neuronal development are emerging. Here we applied an integrated bioinformatic/biological screening strategy to identify lncRNAs that regulate synaptic vesicle release. We identified neuroLNC, a conserved neuron-specific nuclear lncRNA that modulates synaptic vesicle release, presynaptic calcium influx, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. In neurons neuroLNC interacts with a neurodegeneration-associated protein and tunes a set of presynaptic transcripts implicated in neurotransmitter release.

U1 snRNP regulates chromatin retention of noncoding RNAs

Project description:RNA subcellular localization often correlates with its function and regulation. For many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and some isoforms of coding genes, their transcripts are preferentially retained on the chromatin. However, the mechanisms controlling the chromatin retention of lncRNAs and mRNA transcripts remain largely unknown. We hypothesize that embedded RNA sequences and interacting proteins may be the cis and trans regulators governing RNA subcellular localization, respectively. To comprehensively identify the cis-regulatory elements of RNA transcript, here we have developed a high-throughput sequencing-based method named RNA elements for subcellular localization by sequencing (REL-seq). Using this method, we identified RNA sequences contribute to the chromatin retention of several transcripts. By combining REL-seq with random mutagenesis (mutREL-seq), we further narrowed down the key RNA motifs and residues in regulating their subcellular localization at base resolution. Finally, based on the RNA element we identified, we revealed and confirmed U1 snRNA targeting site contributes to RNA chromatin retention.

Expression data from murine fibrotic liver tissues and normal liver tissues

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes; however, few have been identified that regulate hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation and the progression of liver fibrosis. To identify the possible roles of lncRNAs in regulating liver fiboris and the potential of lncRNAs as molecular markers for liver fiboris, we systematically analyzed the regulation of lncRNAs and mRNAs in a mouse model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrogenesis by microarray analysis, which revealed a panel of lncRNAs and mRNAs that were specifically regulated in livers of mice undergoing hepatic fibrosis. To identify the possible roles of lncRNAs in regulating liver fiboris and the potential of lncRNAs as molecular markers for liver fiboris,we determined the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in the livers of fibrotic mice and normal mice by lncRNA and mRNA microarrays.

Senescence-associated lncRNAs: senescence-associated long noncoding RNAs.

Project description:Noncoding RNAs include small transcripts, such as microRNAs and piwi-interacting RNAs, and a wide range of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Although many lncRNAs have been identified, only a small number of lncRNAs have been characterized functionally. Here, we sought to identify lncRNAs differentially expressed during replicative senescence. We compared lncRNAs expressed in proliferating, early-passage, 'young' human diploid WI-38 fibroblasts [population doubling (PDL) 20] with those expressed in senescent, late-passage, 'old' fibroblasts (PDL 52) by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Numerous transcripts in all lncRNA groups (antisense lncRNAs, pseudogene-encoded lncRNAs, previously described lncRNAs and novel lncRNAs) were validated using reverse transcription (RT) and real-time, quantitative (q)PCR. Among the novel senescence-associated lncRNAs (SAL-RNAs) showing lower abundance in senescent cells, SAL-RNA1 (XLOC_023166) was found to delay senescence, because reducing SAL-RNA1 levels enhanced the appearance of phenotypic traits of senescence, including an enlarged morphology, positive Î²-galactosidase activity, and heightened p53 levels. Our results reveal that the expression of known and novel lncRNAs changes with senescence and suggests that SAL-RNAs play direct regulatory roles in this important cellular process. RNA was extracted from both young and senescent WI-38 cells and used for total RNA-Seq.

Genome wide mapping of long noncoding (lnc) RNAs in hepatic stellate cells

Project description:Hepatic stellate cells are the primary cell type responsible for development of fibrosis in chronic liver disease. We used directional RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify the lncRNAs expressed in human HSCs. We also identified the lncRNAs that change in expression with differentiation of nonfibrotic quiescent HSCs into fibrotic HSC myofibroblasts and those that are regulated by TGF-beta signaling. ChIP-seq was also performed to identify DNA regions occupied by H3K27ac to define super-enhancers in HSC myofibroblasts. This study identified lncRNAs expressed HSCs that may regulate fibrosis. Analysis of genome-wide lncRNA expression using RNA-seq and ChiP-seq in human HSCs under four different conditions
