Project description:Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are involved in many processes in RNA metabolism. In addition to their functions in the nucleus, hnRNPs can function in the replication of RNA viruses in the cytoplasm. In vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-infected cells, several hnRNPs relocalize from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This raises the question of whether these hnRNPs are relocalized together with their host nuclear RNAs or whether they associate with new RNAs in the cytoplasm. hnRNP A1, hnRNP C1/C2, and hnRNP K were immunoprecipitated from mock- or VSV-infected cells, and RNAs were analyzed by high content RNA sequencing. Each hnRNP displayed a loss of interaction with cellular transcripts in favor of viral mRNAs. hnRNP A1 was preferentially associated with VSV phosphoprotein (P) mRNA; hnRNP C1/C2 was preferentially associated with VSV glycoprotein (G) mRNA, and hnRNP K bound viral transcripts in rank of abundance.

Project description:In the current project with aim to unequivocally characterize a novel splicing-regulatory network that proves to be a central mediator of endothelial barrier function and vascular integrity. At the core of this network is the endothelial enriched lncRNA NTRAS (annotated as RP11-354k1.1) is shown to control alternative splicing decisions in HUVECs through interplaying with splicing factor hnRNPL. Specifically, in the project we show that NTRAS sequesters the splicing factor hnRNPL through a CA dinucleotide motif, to enhance TJP1 exon 20 usage, thereby TJP1α+ isoform. In turn disrupting TJP1α+ isoform expression impaired endothelial barrier function. Collectively, this splicing-regulatory network might prove fundamental in unlocking new interventions strategic to prevent or reverse vascular leakage.

Project description:Heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are abundant proteins implicated in various steps of RNA processing that assemble on nuclear RNA into larger complexes termed 40S hnRNP particles. Despite their initial discovery 55 years ago, our understanding of these intriguing macromolecular assemblies remains limited. We biochemically purified native 40S hnRNP particles and determined their complete protein composition by label-free quantitative mass spectrometry, identifying A-group and C-group hnRNPs as the major protein constituents.

Project description:Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are a group of functionally versatile proteins that play critical roles in the biogenesis, cellular localization and transport of RNA. Although several lines of evidence link hnRNP abnormalities to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer their contribution to metabolic control remains unexplored. Here, we outline a role for hnRNPs in regulatory circuits controlling sterol homoeostasis. Specifically, we find that tissue-selective loss of the conserved hnRNP RALY enriches for metabolic pathways arguing that hnRNPs can discriminately influence regulated gene expression programs. Liver-specific deletion of RALY alters hepatic lipid content and serum cholesterol level. In vivo interrogation of chromatin architecture and genome-wide RALY binding pattern reveal insights into its cooperative interactions and mode of action in regulating cholesterogenesis. Interestingly, we find that RALY binds the promoter region of the master metabolic regulator Srebp2 and show that it directly interacts with coactivator NFY to influence cholesterogenic gene expression. Our work offers new insights into mechanisms orchestrating selective promoter activation in metabolic control and a model by which hnRNPs can impact metabolic health and disease states.

Project description:The multifunctional RNA-binding protein hnRNPL has been implicated in antibody class switching but its broader function in B cells is unknown. Here, we show that hnRNPL is essential for B cell activation, and thereby germinal center and antibody responses. Upon activation, hnRNPL-deficient B cells show proliferation defects and increased apoptosis. The comparative analysis of RNA-seq data from B cells and another 8 hnRNPL-depleted cell types reveals a common function in the Myc and E2F transcriptional programs required for proliferation, likely borne out of a large alternative splicing change affecting multiple transcription regulators. Notably, while individual gene expression changes were cell type specific, several alternative splicing events affecting histone modifiers like SIRT1, KDM6A, and NSD2, were conserved across cell types, which could contribute to gene expression changes upon hnRNPL loss. SIRT1 reduction due to alternative splicing, and other transcriptional changes suggested mitochondrial defects in hnRNPL-deficient B cells. We confirmed dysfunctional mitochondria and ROS overproduction, which could explain the B cell activation defect. Thus, hnRNPL is essential for the resting to activated B cell transition by regulating transcriptional programs, most likely by splicing regulation affecting several histone modifiers.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed transcripts involved in the regulation of different cellular processes, and their dysregulation has been frequently observed in cancer. In this study, we investigated the role of circCDYL, a circRNA generated from the CDYL gene, in modulating alternative splicing (AS) and isoform switching in breast cancer cells. Analysis of circRNA profiles in breast cancer cells showed that circCDYL expression increased in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-downregulated cells, suggesting a potential link between circCDYL-mediated regulation and ERα signaling pathways. RNA-Sequencing analysis following circCDYL knock-down in MCF-7 cells revealed significant alterations in the splicing pattern, with over 2,900 splicing events significantly affected. Through RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays, we found evidence of an association between circCDYL and the splicing factor hnRNPL. To explore the consequences of this association, we performed AS and isoform switching analysis after circCDYL and hnRNPL silencing, revealing significant effects on AS and a weaker modulation of isoform switching events. Furthermore, we observed that circCDYL and hnRNPL modulated CDYL isoform expression, as confirmed by isoform-specific qRT-PCR analysis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays also indicated changes in chromatin marks at the CDYL locus upon knock-down of circCDYL and hnRNPL. These results suggested a possible association between circCDYL and hnRNPL, which contributed to the regulation of alternative splicing in breast cancer cells and may be involved in the modulation of isoform expression and chromatin dynamics of CDYL gene.

Project description:Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecologic tumors worldwide, with unclear underlying mechanisms of pathogenesis. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) primarily direct post-transcriptional regulation through modulating RNA metabolism. Recent evidence demonstrates that RBPs are also implicated in transcriptional control. However, the role and mechanism of RBP-mediated transcriptional regulation in tumorigenesis remain largely unexplored. Here, we show that the RBP heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNPL) interacts with chromatin and regulates gene transcription by forming phase-separated condensates in ovarian cancer. hnRNPL phase separation activates PIK3CB transcription and glycolysis, thus promoting ovarian cancer progression. Notably, we observe that the PIK3CB promoter is transcribed to produce a non-coding RNA which interacts with hnRNPL and promotes hnRNPL condensation. Furthermore, hnRNPL is significantly amplified in ovarian cancer, and its high expression predicts poor prognosis for ovarian cancer patients. By using cell-derived xenograft and patient-derived organoid models, we show that hnRNPL knockdown suppresses ovarian tumorigenesis. Together, our study reveals that phase separation of the chromatin-associated RBP hnRNPL promotes PIK3CB transcription and glycolysis to facilitate tumorigenesis in ovarian cancer. The formed hnRNPL-PIK3CB-AKT axis depending on phase separation can serve as a potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Project description:The primordial follicle pool established during the perinatal period, serves as the lifelong source of oocytes, with its depletion leading to premature ovarian failure. During the process of primordial germ cell (PGC) development and the formation of primordial follicles, germ cell development is regulated by precise transcriptional control, accompanied by extensive post-transcriptional alternative splicing (AS) events. The role of AS during PGC development and follicle formation remains poorly understood. In this study, we explore AS dynamics and identify hnRNPL, a splicing regulator, as a critical factor in primordial follicle pool formation. Using a conditional knockout (cKO) model, we demonstrate that loss of hnRNPL in pre-meiotic germ cells impairs splicing of genes involved in homologous synapsis and autophagy, leading to oocyte arrest, reduced follicle pool size, and accelerated ovarian aging. Excessive autophagy exacerbates oocyte atresia, further contributing to infertility. Our findings highlight hnRNPL as a key regulator of AS in oocyte development and suggest potential therapeutic targets for rescuing fertility in cases of disrupted primordial follicle formation.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to measure how steady state RNA and alternatively spliced transcript abundance levels are impacted by loss of specific RNA-binding proteins as part of macrophage transcriptional activation upon pathogen sensing. Methods: SRSF 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, and hnRNP C, F, K, U were knockdown using shRNA in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Macrophages were collected as uninfected (resting) cells and infected with Salmonella Typhimuirum for 4HR. mRNA profiles of uninfected (UN) and Salmonella infected (SAL) hnRNP C, F, K, U and SRSF 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the gene expression and transcript expression level with CLC Genomics Workbench. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: We identified thousands of transcripts whose abundance is increased or decreased by SR/hnRNP knockdown in macrophages. We observed that different SR/hnRNPs control the ex-pression of distinct gene regulons in uninfected and Salmonella-infected macrophages, with sev-eral key innate immune genes (Nos2, Mx1, Il1a) relying heavily on multiple SR/hnRNPs to main-tain proper induction and/or repression. Knockdown of SR/hnRNPs promoted differential isoform usage (DIU) for a number of key immune sensors and signaling molecules and many of these splicing changes were distinct in uninfected and Salmonella-infected macrophages. After observ-ing a surprising degree of similarity between the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and DIUs in hnRNP K and U knockdown macrophages, we found that these cells are better able to restrict vesicular stomatitis virus repli-cation than control cells, supporting a role for these hnRNPs in controlling infection outcomes in macrophages ex vivo. Based on these findings, we conclude that many innate immune genes have evolved to rely on one or more splicing regulatory factors to ensure the proper timing and magnitude of their induction, bolstering a model wherein pre-mRNA splicing is a critical regulatory node in the innate immune response. Conclusions: SR and hnRNP proteins have profound impacts on the abundance of innate immune transcripts and seem to contribute to macrophage gene expression via distinct mechanisms
