HNRNPH1-mediated splicing events regulate EIF4G1 transcript variant composition and the organization of the AURKA 5’UTR

ABSTRACT: HNRNPH1 is a regulator of alternative splicing, but few studies have defined the splicing events it mediates. Here, we used short- and long-read RNA sequencing to interrogate the transcriptome-wide effects of HNRNPH1 depletion and its regulation of specific splicing events. Differential alternative splicing analysis revealed effects on the transcriptome that involved all splice event categories. We confirmed HNRNPH1’s regulation of a splicing event involving TCF3-exons 18a and 18b that encode distinct TCF3 transcription factor isoforms. Extending this finding, we present evidence that in neuroblastoma, HNRNPH1 is a MYCN target, potentially explaining the higher levels of HNRNPH1 and TCF3-exon 18a transcript variants in this tumor type. Analysis of two skipped exon events determined that HNRNPH1 regulates the splicing of exons encoding part of the EIF4G1 translation initiation factor’s N-terminus and an exon included in the 5’UTR of specific transcript variants encoding the mitotic kinase AURKA. Using reporter constructs, we show this AURKA 5’UTR exon enhances expression, suggesting HNRNPH1 could contribute to regulating AURKA protein levels. Our findings highlight HNRNPH1’s roles in regulating the expression of proteins with diverse cellular functions.

Project description:Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing impacts development, physiology, and disease, but its regulation in humans is not well understood, partially due to the limited scale to which the expression of specific splicing events has been measured. We generated the first genome-scale expression compendium of human alternative splicing events using custom whole-transcript microarrays monitoring expression of 24,426 mutually exclusive alternative splicing event pairs in 48 diverse human samples. Over 11,700 genes and 9,500 splicing events were differentially expressed, providing a rich resource for studying splicing regulation. An unbiased, systematic screen of 21,760 4-mer to 7-mer words for cis-regulatory motifs identified 143 RNA 'words' enriched near regulated cassette exons, including six clusters of motifs represented by UCUCU, UGCAUG, UGCU, UGUGU, UUUU, and AGGG, which map to trans-acting regulators PTB, Fox, Muscleblind, CELF/CUG-BP, TIA-1, and hnRNP F/H, respectively. Each cluster showed a distinct pattern of genomic location and tissue specificity. For example, UCUCU occurs 110 to 35 nucleotides preceding cassette exons upregulated in brain and striated muscle but depleted in other tissues. UCUCU and UGCAUG appear to have similar function but independent action, occurring 5' and 3', respectively, of 33% of the cassette exons upregulated in skeletal muscle but co-occurring for only 2%. Keywords: multiple tissue comparison PolyA+ purified RNA pooled from multiple donors of a single human tissue type (e.g. cerebellum) were amplified with random primers and hybridized on a two-color ink-jet oligonucletodie microarray (17 array set) against a common reference pool, comprising ~20 normal adult tissue pools, on custom microarray patterns containing probes to monitor every exon and exon-exon junction in transcript databases, patent databases, and predicted from mouse transcripts. Data were analyzed for gene expression (the average of multiple probes), exon and junction expression, and splice form proportionality (see paper).

Project description:Celf6 is an RNA binding protein expressed in a subset of neurons in the brain. We conducted an analysis of splicing in RNAseq data derived from Celf6 knockout mice, compared to wildtype littermates. We profiled both total tissue RNAseq from a hindbrain dissection, as well as Translated Ribosome Affinity Purified (TRAP)seq specifically from serotonergic neurons – a population of cells we previously characterized as expressing Celf6. We used MISO for the splicing analysis (PMID: 21057496). MISO uses read evidence found in a sample in a Bayesian model in order to assign a percent spliced in (PSI) value, defining the expected frequency of an alternate event. In the total RNA sample, the number of measurable PSI events was 1817. The most annotated events found were the Skipped Exons (35.5%) , Retained Introns (25 %), and Tandem 3’UTR (alternative poly-adenylation, 17.2%) categories. In general, the Skipped Exons category has the largest number of annotated events in MISO (Figure 1C). Out of 1817 assignable events, 95 showed nominal ANOVA p<0.05 between WT and Celf6 KO with 0 meeting Benjamini-Hochberg FDR <0.05. Alternative event categories had roughly the same distribution in nominally significant differentially abundant alternative events as to the data as a whole. 33/95 nominally significant events were in genes that were putative CELF6 targets, however only two (C1d, Rit2) were in genes matching both CLIP stringency criteria (significant enrichment in both CLIP input & antibody non-specific binding controls). As PSI describes the probability of being either in alternative form A (PSI = 0) or B (PSI = 1), large changes in PSI between one sample to another might indicate a splicing switch between predominant forms. Among the nominally significant events, the majority (88/95, 92.6%) were between -0.2 to 0.2 indicating only slight changes in splice form abundance. There were a few events with larger changes in PSI, with differences between KO and WT greater that 0.2, 5 in alternative polyadenylation, 1 in a Mutually Exclusive Exon event, and 1 in Alternative 5’ Splice Site usage. The largest change of these was in Acox1 (not a putative CELF6 target), peroxisomal straight-chain acyl-CoA oxidase, with a change of -0.62 in the KO (p = 0.037) which may indicate evidence of a switch in usage of a 897 nucleotide 3’UTR in the WT (WT median PSI = 0.89) to a 1660 nucleotide 3’UTR in the KO (KO median PSI = 0.26). However, none of these survive FRD correction. In serotonergic cell mRNA accessed by TRAP, the total measurable events was 2,201 with a distribution of effect sizes similar to that found in total RNA. 112 of these events showed nominal p values < 0.05, with 2 events meeting Benjamini-Hochberg FDR < 0.05, which showed a similar distribution to the data as a whole. 40 nominally significant events were found in putative CELF6 CLIP targets, 5 genes meeting the most stringent criteria (Snap25, Tpm1, Rnf14, Shroom2, App). As with total RNA, most events showed small differences in PSI between WT and KO (-0.2 to 0.2, median ~.01), with only 4 events outside this range. The largest such difference was found in Nmnat2, nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (not a putative CELF6 target), again in an alternative 3’ UTR. The WT median PSI of 0.55 indicates two isoforms are similarly abundant: a 3.6 kb 3’UTR and a 400 bp UTR. In the KO, this is shifted towards the shorter UTR (KO median PSI 0.98).
