Staufen1 Represses the FOXA1-Regulated Transcriptome by Destabilizing FOXA1 mRNA in Colorectal Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors play key roles in development and diseases by controlling gene expression. Forkhead Box A1 (FOXA1) is a pioneer transcription factor essential for mouse development that plays important roles in prostate and breast cancer. In colorectal cancer (CRC), we have found that FOXA1 is significantly downregulated, suggesting potential tumor suppressive functions. However, the mechanism(s) by which FOXA1 is downregulated in CRC cells remain largely unclear. We investigated the regulation of FOXA1 expression in CRC, focusing on well-differentiated CRC cells where it is robustly expressed. Genome-wide stability assays identified FOXA1 as an unstable mRNA in CRC cells. We validated FOXA1 mRNA instability in multiple CRC lines and patient-derived CRC organoids and found FOXA1 mRNA is degraded via its 3’UTR. Through FOXA1 3’UTR RNA pulldowns, we identified Staufen1 (STAU1) as a potential regulator of FOXA1. Indeed, knockdown of STAU1 results in increased expression of FOXA1 mRNA and protein due to increased FOXA1 mRNA stability. A subset of the STAU1-regulated transcriptome is enriched for FOXA1 targets, whose expression also increases upon STAU1 knockdown. Collectively, this study uncovers the molecular mechanism by which FOXA1 is regulated in CRC and provides insights into our understanding of the complex mechanisms of gene regulation in cancer.

siRNA of human HeLa cells reveals Staufen1 regulates a variety of mammalian transcripts

Project description:It is currently unknown how extensively the double-stranded RNA binding protein Staufen (Stau)1 is utilized by mammalian cells to regulate gene expression. To date, Stau1 binding to the 3â untranslated region (3âUTR) of ARF1 mRNA has been shown to target ARF1 mRNA for Stau1-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). ARF1 SMD depends on translation and recruitment of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor Upf1 to the ARF1 3âUTR by Stau1. Here, we use microarray analyses to examine changes in the abundance of cellular mRNAs that occur when Stau1 is depleted. Results indicate that 1.1% and 1.0% of the 11,569 HeLa-cell transcripts that were analyzed are, respectively, upregulated and downregulated at least two-fold in three independently performed experiments. Additionally, we localize the Stau1 binding site to the 3âUTR of four mRNAs that we define as natural SMD targets. Together, these and substantiating results suggest that Stau1 influences the expression of a wide variety of physiologic transcripts and metabolic pathways. Experiment Overall Design: We report the results of three independently performed microarray analyses that examined changes in the abundance of transcripts from HeLa-cell genes upon Stau1 depletion. HeLa cells were transiently transfected with either a nonspecific Control small interfering (si)RNA or Stau1 siRNA. Stau1 siRNA reduced the level of cellular Stau1 to as little as 4% of normal, where normal is defined as the level in the presence of Control siRNA (data not shown). RNA from three independently performed transfections was separately hybridized to microarrays.

Transcriptome-wide mapping of human Staufen1 binding sites

Project description:Purpose: We performed RNA-Immunoprecipitation in Tandem (RIPiT) experiments against human Staufen1 (Stau1) to identify its precise RNA binding sites in a transcriptome-wide manner. To monitor the consequences of Stau1 binding in terms of target mRNA levels and ribosome occupancy, we modified the levels of endogenous Stau1 in cells by siRNA or overexpression and performed RNA-sequencing and ribosome-footprinting experiments. Staufen1 (Stau1) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein implicated in mRNA transport, regulation of translation, mRNA decay and stress granule homeostasis. Here we combined RNA-Immunoprecipitation in Tandem (RIPiT) with RNase footprinting, formaldehyde crosslinking, sonication-mediated RNA fragmentation and deep sequencing to map Staufen1 binding sites transcriptome-wide. We find that Stau1 binds complex secondary structures containing multiple short helices, many of which are formed by inverted Alu elements in annotated 3'UTRs or in "strongly distal" 3'UTRs extending far beyond the canonical polyadenylation signal. Stau1 also interacts with both actively translating ribosomes and with mRNA coding sequences (CDS) and 3'UTRs in proportion to their GC-content and internal secondary structure-forming propensity. On mRNAs with high CDS GC-content, higher Stau1 levels lead to greater ribosome densities, suggesting a general role for Stau1 in modulating the ability of ribosomes to elongate through secondary structures located in CDS regions.

Staufen1 inhibits MyoD translation to actively maintain muscle stem cell quiescence

Project description:Tissue regeneration depends on the timely activation of adult stem cells. In skeletal muscle, the adult stem cells maintain a quiescent state and proliferate upon injury. We show that muscle stem cells (MuSCs) use direct translational repression to maintain the quiescent state. High resolution single molecule and single cell analyses demonstrate that quiescent MuSCs express high levels of Myogenic Differentiation1 (MyoD) transcript in vivo, whereas MyoD protein is absent. RNA pulldowns and co-stainings show that MyoD mRNA interacts with Staufen1, a potent regulator of mRNA localization, translation, and stability. Staufen1 prevents MyoD translation through its interaction with the MyoD 3’UTR. MuSCs from Staufen1 heterozygous (Staufen1+/-) mice have increased MyoD protein expression, exit quiescence, and begin proliferating. Conversely, blocking MyoD translation maintains the quiescent phenotype. Collectively, our data show that MuSCs express MyoD mRNA and actively repress its translation to remain quiescent yet primed for activation.

IP Staufen1

Project description:In human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity. Keywords: Immunoprecipitation, Staufen, microarray

Genome-wide analysis of Staufen1-bound mRNAs in prometaphase

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to identify Staufen1-bound mRNAs in prometaphase cells. Stau1 abundance fluctuates through the cell cycle: it is high in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and rapidly decreases as cells transit through mitosis. The importance of controlling Stau1 levels was underscored by the observation that its overexpression impairs mitosis as well as proliferation of transformed cell lines. As a major post-transcriptional regulator, Stau1 may exert its role(s) through the spatial and/or temporal regulation of its bound mRNAs. Therefore, to gather clues to support this possibility, we identified Stau1-bound mRNAs in prometaphase as a means to identify mRNAs that could be subjected to post-transcriptional modulation when Stau1 is partly degraded in mitosis.

3'READS+RIP defines differential Staufen1 binding to alternative 3'UTR isoforms and reveals structures and sequence motifs influencing binding and polysome association

Project description:Using 3ʹ region extraction and deep sequencing coupled to ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation (3’READS+RIP), together with reanalyzing previous STAU1 binding and RNA structure data, we delineate STAU1 interactions transcriptome-wide, including binding differences between alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms. Consistent with previous reports, RNA structures are dominant features for STAU1 binding to CDSs and 3ʹUTRs. Overall, relative to short 3ʹUTR counterparts, longer 3ʹUTR isoforms of genes have stronger STAU1 binding, most likely due to a higher frequency of RNA structures, including specialized IRAlus. However, a sizable fraction of genes express transcripts showing the opposite trend, attributable to AU-rich sequences in their alternative 3'UTRs, possibly recruiting antagonistic RBPs and/or destabilizing STAU1-binding RNA structures. Using STAU1-knockout cells, we show that strong STAU1 binding to mRNA 3'UTRs generally enhances polysome association. However, IRAlus have little impact on STAU1-mediated polysome association despite having strong interactions with the protein.
