Maternal prenatal stress induces sex-dependent changes in tRNA fragment families and cholinergic pathways in newborns

ABSTRACT: Maternal perceived prenatal stress (PPS) is a known risk factor for diverse developmental impairments in newborns, but the underlying molecular processes are incompletely understood. Here, we report that PPS responses altered the birth profiles of blood transfer RNA fragments (tRFs), 16-50nt long non-random cleavage products of tRNAs in a sex-dependent manner. Importantly, comparing stressed versus control maternal and umbilical cord blood serum presented alterations that were not limited to individual tRFs, but rather reflected selective enrichments in particular tRF families grouped by their mitochondrial or nuclear genome origin, parental tRNA coded amino acid, and cleavage type. Supporting a stress- and sex-specific effects, grouped tRF families revealed shared length and expression patterns which were strongest in the female newborns. Of those, several tRFs carried complementary motifs to specific cholinergic mRNAs, indicating possible translational regulation similar to microRNAs. Compatible with the cholinergic regulation of stress reactions, those "CholinotRFs" achieved an AUC of 95% when classifying female newborns according to maternal PPS. Moreover, we found altered catalytic activity of serum acetylcholinesterase, which was particularly elevated in male newborns, marking a second sex-specific effect. Our findings demonstrate an association of tRF families' patterns with newborns' sex-specific stress response to PPS and may lead to better diagnosis and therapeutic tools for these and other stressors.

Maternal Serum tRNA-derived Fragments (tRFs) as Potential Candidates for Diagnosis of Fetal Congenital Heart Disease

Project description:Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most predominant birth defects that cause infant death worldwide. The timely and successful surgical treatment of CHD on newborns after delivery requires accurate detection and reliable diagnosis during pregnancy. However, there are no biomarkers that can serve as an early diagnostic factor for CHD patients. tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have been reported to play an important role in the occurrence and progression of numerous diseases, but their roles in CHD remains unknown. Methods: High-throughput sequencing was performed on the peripheral blood of pregnant women with abnormal fetal heart and normal fetal heart, and 728 differentially expressed tRFs/tiRNAs were identified, among which the top 18 tRFs/tiRNAs were selected as predictive biomarkers of CHD. Then, quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction verified the expression of tRFs/tiRNAs in more clinical samples, and the correlation between tRFs/tiRNAs abnormalities and CHD was analyzed. Results: tRF-58:74-Gly-GCC-1 and tiRNA-1:35-Leu-CAG-1-M2 may be promising biomarkers. Through further bioinformatics analysis, we predicted that TRF-58:744-GLy-GCC-1 could induce CHD by influencing biological metabolic processes. Conclusions: our results provide a theoretical basis for the abnormally expressed tRF-58:74-Gly-GCC-1 in maternal peripheral blood as a new potential biomarker for the accurate diagnosis of CHD during pregnancy.

3'-tRF-CysGCA overexpression alters the expression profile of HEK-293 cells and modulates cellular processes and pathways

Project description:tRNA fragments (tRFs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that are generated through the cleavage of tRNAs and have been implicated in various biological processes. Among the different types of tRFs, the 3′-tRFs have attracted considerable scientific interest due to their regulatory role in gene expression. In this study, we investigated the role of 3′-tRF-CysGCA, a tRF derived from cleavage in the T-loop of tRNACysGCA, in the regulation of gene expression in HEK-293 cells. Previous studies have shown that 3′-tRF-CysGCA is incorporated into the RISC complex and interacts with Argonaute proteins, suggesting its involvement in the regulation of gene expression. However, the general role and effect of the deregulation of 3′-tRF-CysGCA levels in human cells have not been investigated so far. To address this gap, we stably overexpressed 3′-tRF-CysGCA in HEK-293 cells and performed transcriptomics and proteomics experiments. Moreover, we validated the interaction of this tRF with putative targets whose levels were affected after 3′-tRF-CysGCA overexpression. Last, we investigated the implication of 3′-tRF-CysGCA in various pathways using extensive bioinformatics analysis. Our results indicate that 3′-tRF-CysGCA overexpression led to changes in the cell expression profile, and we identified multiple pathways that were affected by the deregulation of this tRF. Additionally, our reporter assays demonstrated that 3′-tRF-CysGCA directly interacted with TMPO and ERGIC1, leading to changes in their expression levels. Taken together, these findings suggest that 3′-tRF-CysGCA plays a significant role in the regulation of gene expression and highlight the potential importance of this tRF in cellular processes.

Characterization of Sus scrofa small RNA sequences present in both female and male gonads

Project description:We used deep sequencing to characterize 3 families of sRNAs (piRNAs, miRNAs, and tRFs) present in Sus scrofa gonads and focused on the sRNA fraction present in both male and female gonads. Of the sequences detected in the testes, 2.6% of piRNAs, 9% of miRNAs, and 10% of tRFs were also present in the ovaries. Notably, the majority of the shared piRNAs mapped to the introns of ribosomal RNAs and were derived from clustered loci. In addition, the most abundant miRNAs present in the ovaries and testes are conserved and are involved in many biological processes such as the regulation of homeobox genes, the control of cell proliferation, and carcinogenesis. Unexpectedly, we detected a novel sRNA type, the tRFs, which are 30–36-nt RNA fragments derived from tRNA molecules, in gonads Determination miRNA, piRNA and tRF expression in swine gonads

LTR-retrotransposon control by tRNA-derived small RNA

Project description:Transposon reactivation is an inherent danger in cells that lose epigenetic silencing during developmental reprogramming. In the mouse, LTR-retrotransposons, or endogenous retroviruses (ERV), account for most novel insertions and are expressed in the absence of histone H3 Lysine 9 trimethylation in preimplantation stem cells. We found abundant, 18 nt tRNA-derived small RNA (tRF) in these cells, and ubiquitously expressed 22 nt tRFs, that include the 3' terminal CCA of mature tRNAs, and target the tRNA primer binding site (PBS) essential for ERV reverse transcription. We show that the two most active ERV families, IAP and MusD/ETn, are major targets and are strongly inhibited by tRFs in retrotransposition assays. 22 nt tRFs post-transcriptionally silence coding-competent ERVs, while 18 nt tRFs specifically interfere with reverse transcription and retrotransposon mobility. The PBS offers a unique target to specifically inhibit LTR-retrotransposons and tRF-targeting is a potentially highly conserved mechanism of small RNA-mediated transposon control.

tRForest: a novel random forest-based algorithm for tRNA-derived fragment target prediction

Project description:tRNA fragments (tRFs) are a novel class of small RNAs comparable to the size and function of miRNAs. We and others have shown that tRFs are generally Dicer independent, can be found in abundance in the miRNA effector protein Ago, and can repress expression of specific genes that have complementarity to their 5’ seed-sequences. Given that this greatly expands the repertoire of small RNAs capable of post-transcriptional gene expression, it is important to predict tRF targets with confidence. Some attempts have been made to predict tRF targets, but are limited in the scope of tRF classes used in prediction or limited in feature selection. We hypothesized that established miRNA target prediction features applied to tRFs through a random forest machine learning algorithm will immensely improve tRF target prediction. Using this approach, we show significant improvements in tRF target prediction for all classes of tRFs and validate our predictions in two independent cell lines. Finally, using Gene Ontology analysis, we provide evidence that tRF-3009a targets may be involved in neural development. These improvements to tRF target prediction further our understanding of tRF function broadly across species and tRF types, and provide avenues for testing novel roles for tRFs in biology.

tRNA-Derived Fragments Expression Profile and Their Potential Roles in Lung Adenocarcinoma Tissues

Project description:Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) and transfer RNA halves (tiRNAs) have been shown to play crucial roles in gene regulation. This study targets to reveal the expression profile of tRFs and tiRNAs and their possible biological roles in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Five paired clinical lung adenocarcinoma tissues (LAT) and adjacent normal lung tissues (ANLT) were selected to conduct the expression of tRFs and tiRNAs. The sequencing results showed that 109 tRFs and tiRNAs were differentially expressed between LAT and ANLT, out of which 60 were upregulated and 49 were downregulated. Compared with ANLT, lower expression levels of three tRF-1s (tRF-Ser-TGA-010, tRF-Arg-CCT-018 and tRF-Val-CAC-017) in LAT were verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Subsequently, the putative target genes of tRF-1s were analyzed by computational prediction and the top ten significant results of GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were presented. These signaling pathways are involved in the carcinogenesis of LUAD. This study has showed a landscape of tRFs and tiRNAs expression proﬁles in LUAD. Three newly found diﬀerentially expressed down-regulated tRF-1s may be involved in the pathogenesis of LUAD and might serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers.
