Alternative splicing of a transposable element into the human long noncoding RNA CARMEN is a switch for cardiac precursor cell specification

ABSTRACT: The major cardiac cell types composing the adult heart arise from common multipotent precursor cells. Cardiac lineage decisions are guided by extrinsic and cell-autonomous factors, including recently discovered long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). The CARMEN locus, which is known to dictate specification towards the cardiomyocyte (CM) and the smooth muscle cell (SMC) fates, generates a diversity of alternatively spliced lncRNAs. Here, we identify one of these isoforms, CARMEN-201, to be crucial for SMC commitment. CARMEN-201 activity is encoded within an alternatively-spliced exon containing a MIRc short interspersed nuclear element. This element binds the transcriptional repressor REST (RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor), targets it to cardiogenic loci, including ISL1, IRX1, IRX5, and SFRP1, and thereby blocks the CM gene program. In turn, genes regulating SMC differentiation are induced. These data show how a critical physiological switch is wired by alternative splicing and functional transposable elements in a long noncoding RNA.

Chemical modifications mark alternatively spliced and actively degrading messenger RNAs in Arabidopsis and humans

Project description:Post-transcriptional chemical modification of RNA bases is a widespread and physiologically relevant regulator of RNA maturation, stability, and function. While modifications are best characterized in short, noncoding RNAs such as transfer RNAs (tRNAs), growing evidence indicates that messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are likewise modified. Here, we apply our High-throughput Annotation of Modified Ribonucleotides (HAMR) pipeline to identify and classify modifications that affect Watson-Crick base-pairing at three different levels of the human and Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptomes (polyadenylated, small, and degrading RNAs). We find modifications primarily within actively degrading mRNAs and lncRNAs, suggesting they can act as a potent signal for RNA turnover. Additionally, modifications within stable mRNAs mark alternatively spliced introns, suggesting they regulate splicing. Furthermore, these modifications target mRNAs with coherent functions, including stress responses. Thus, our comprehensive analysis of RNA modification across multiple RNA classes yields new functional insights into these covalent RNA additions. polyA-selected RNA-seq, smRNA-seq, and polyA-selected global mapping of uncapped transcripts (GMUCT) in Arabidopsis thaliana; smRNA-seq in HEK293T and HeLa human cell lines.

Analysis of early changes in mouse heart transcriptome after myocardial infarction

Project description:Alternative splicing of RNA is an underexplored area of transcriptional response. We hypothesized that early changes in alternatively spliced genes may be important for responses to cardiac injury. The goal of this study was to use high throughput sequencing to determine which genes undergo alternative splicing in the initial response to ischemia after myocardial infarction.

lncExACT1 and DCHS2 Regulate Physiological and Pathological Cardiac Growth

Project description:The heart grows in response to pathological and physiological stimuli, while the former often precedes cardiomyocyte loss and heart failure, the latter paradoxically protects the heart and enhances cardiomyogenesis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important in cardiac development and disease, less is known about their roles in physiological hypertrophy or cardiomyogenesis. The purpose of this study was to compare transcriptome profilings in exercise-induced physiological cardiac growth and stress-induced pathological cardiac growth. We identified a set of lncRNAs called long noncoding exercise associated cardiac transcripts (lncExACT). One of them, lncExACT1, whose cardiac expression was downregulated after exercise but upregulated after transverse aortic constriction. Inhibition of lncExACT1 induced physiolgoical cardiac growth while overexpression of lncExACT1 induced pathological hypertrophy and heart failure.

Pitx2 maintains mitochondrial function during regeneration to prevent myocardial fat deposition

Project description:Here, we performed single nuclear RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) of control and Pitx2 deficient cardiac tissue 3 weeks post myocardial infarction. Next, unsupervised graph-based clustering of the combined snRNA-Seq data set mapped to both introns and exons, comprising 7848 cells. Overall, we identified nine transcriptionally distinct clusters representing all the major cardiac cell types, including cardiac fibroblasts (FB), cardiomyocytes (CM), endothelial cells (EC), vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), macrophages (Mφ), epicardial cells (EpiC), endocardial cells (EndoC), lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC), and mural cells or pericytes (PeC). Moreover, two distinct populations of fibroblasts, designated FB-1 and FB-2, were also identified.

Identification of SMCHD1 as a Novel Regulator of Alternative Splicing in FSHD2

Project description:Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes Flexible Hinge Domain Containing 1 (SMCHD1) is a non-canonical member of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein family involved in the regulation of chromatin structure, epigenetic regulation and transcription. Mutations in SMCHD1 cause facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 2 (FSHD2), a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting, believed to be caused by aberrant expression of DUX4 in muscle cells. Here we suggest a new role for SMCHD1 as a regulator of alternative splicing, and demonstrate how splicing alteration caused by SMCHD1 mutations lead to DUX4 expression and FSHD pathogenesis. Analyzing RNA-seq data from muscle biopsies of FSHD2 patients and FSHD2 mouse model found that hundreds of genes were alternatively spliced upon SMCHD1 mutation. At least 20% of alternatively spliced genes were associated with abnormalities of the musculature. Moreover, we show that alternatively spliced exons tend to be bound by SMCHD1, and SMCHD1 bound exons demonstrate slower elongation rate, suggesting SMCHD1 binding promotes exon exclusion by slowing RNAPII. Specifically, we discovered that SMCHD1 mutations promotes the splicing of the DNMT3B1 isoform of DNMT3B, which leads to hypomethylation of the D4Z4 region and DUX4 expression. These results suggest that alternative splicing regulated by SMCHD1 may play a major role in FSHD2 pathogenesis by promoting alternative splicing of different targets including DNMT3B, and highlight the potential for targeting alternative splicing as a therapeutic strategy for this disorder.

Analysis of alternatively spliced transcripts in leaf, root, panicle and seed of rice with a long oligomer microarray

Project description:RNA splicing is a molecular mechanism to increase protein diversities acquired through the evolution while the underlieing driving forces for the phenomenon are unknown especially in terms of gene expression. Rice alternatively spliced transcript detecting microarray (ASDM) was designed and applied to differentiate the transcriptome of 4 representative organs of Oryza sativa L. cv. Ilmi including leaves, roots, panicles at 1 cm stage and young seeds at 20 days after pollination. The comparison of the data between the microarray and RNA-seq shows a ‘bell shape distribution’ and a strong co-lineation for highly expressed genes. The transcripts are classified according to the degree of organ enrichment using coefficient value (CV, the ratio of standard deviation to the mean values); highly variable (CVI), variable (CVII), and constitutive (CVIII) groups. The genes of highly variable group show the characteristics of the organs. The index of the portion of loci with alternatively spliced transcripts in a group (IAS) is designated for these CV groups and showed the higher value in the constitutive group. In addition, within a locus, a transcript with longer cds tends to be higher expressed and the spliced_intron is the most commonly found type of alternative splicing for the extended cds. Thus, constitutively expressed genes might be under evolutionary pressure toward alternative splicing that might have a longer cds. These data show that less resource consuming and better designed microarray might be a niche technology to test the transcriptome analysis including alternatively spliced transcripts in plants.

Angiogenic patterning by STEEL, an endothelial-enriched long noncoding RNAAngiogenic patterning by STEEL, an endothelial-enriched long noncoding RNA

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC)-enriched protein coding genes, such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), define quintessential EC-specific physiologic functions. It is not clear whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) also define cardiovascular cell-type specific phenotypes, especially in the vascular endothelium. Here, we report the existence of a set of EC-enriched lncRNAs and define a role for STEEL (spliced transcript – endothelial enriched lncRNA) in angiogenic potential, macrovascular/microvascular identity and shear stress responsiveness. STEEL is expressed from the terminus of the HOXD locus and is transcribed antisense to HOXD transcription factors. STEEL RNA increases the number and integrity of de novo perfused microvessels in an in vivo model and augments angiogenesis in vitro. The STEEL RNA is polyadenylated, nuclear-enriched and has microvascular predominance. Functionally, STEEL regulates a number of genes in diverse endothelial cells. Of interest, STEEL upregulates both eNOS and the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), and is subject to feedback inhibition by both eNOS and shear-augmented KLF2. Mechanistically, STEEL upregulation of eNOS and KLF2 is transcriptionally mediated, in part, via interaction of chromatin-associated STEEL with the poly-ADP ribosylase, PARP1. For instance, STEEL recruits PARP1 to the KLF2 promoter. This work identifies a role for EC-enriched lncRNAs in the phenotypic adaptation of ECs to both body position and hemodynamic forces, and establishes a newer role for lncRNAs in the transcriptional regulation of EC identity.

Alteration of biological behavior caused by IRX1 overexpression in gastric cancer

Project description:To explore the functon of IRX1 in gastric cancer, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify gene expression changes in three samples. We constructed the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-IRX1. The pEGFP-IRX1 expression vector was transfected into SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells by Lipofectamine 2000. The IRX1 protein was mainly observed in nuclei. Naive SGC7901 and empty vector pEGFP-N1 transfected cells were used as controls. Gene expression profiles were compared between parental gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 and cells transfected with pEGFP-IRX1 and pEGFP-N1.
