Project description:Abstract: Right ventricular failure (RVF) remains the leading cause of death in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We investigated the transcriptomic signature of RVF in hemodynamically well-phenotyped monocrotaline (MCT)-treated, male, Sprague-Dawley rats with severe PAH and decompensated RVF (increased right ventricular (RV) end diastolic volume (EDV), decreased cardiac output (CO), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and ventricular-arterial decoupling). RNA sequencing revealed 2547 differentially regulated transcripts in MCT-RVF RVs. Multiple enriched gene ontology (GO) terms converged on mitochondria/metabolism, fibrosis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. The mitochondrial transcriptomic pathway is the most affected in RVF, with 413 dysregulated genes. Downregulated genes included tfam (−0.45-fold), suggesting impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, Cyp2e1 (−3.8-fold), a monooxygenase which when downregulated increases oxidative stress, dehydrogenase/reductase 7C (Dhrs7c) (−2.8-fold), consistent with excessive autonomic activation, and polypeptide N-acetyl-galactose-aminyl-transferase 13 (Galnt13), a known pulmonary hypertension (PH) biomarker (−2.7-fold). The most up-regulated gene encodes Periostin (Postn; 4.5-fold), a matricellular protein relevant to fibrosis. Other dysregulated genes relevant to fibrosis include latent-transforming growth factor beta-binding protein 2 (Ltbp2), thrombospondin4 (Thbs4). We also identified one dysregulated gene relevant to all disordered transcriptomic pathways, Annexin A1. This anti-inflammatory, phospholipid-binding mediator, is a putative target for therapy in RVF-PAH. Comparison of expression profiles in the MCT-RV with published microarray data from the RV of pulmonary artery-banded mice and humans with bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2)-mutations PAH reveals substantial conservation of gene dysregulation, which may facilitate clinical translation of preclinical therapeutic and biomarkers studies. Transcriptomics reveals the molecular fingerprint of RVF to be heavily characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, fibrosis and inflammation.

Project description:Right ventricular heart failure (RVF) associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by a distinct gene expression pattern when compared with functional compensatory hypertrophy. Carvedilol treatment after RVF has been established reduces right ventricle (RV) hypertrophy and improves the RV function. In addition, carvedilol treatment has been shown to alter the gene expression of select genes. We sought to identify, on a genome-wide basis, the effect of carvedilol on gene expression. RVF was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by the combination of VEGF-receptor blockade and chronic hypoxia; thereafter, one group was treated with carvedilol. RNA was isolated from the RV and subjected to microarray analysis. A prediction analysis of the carvedilol-treated RVs showed that carvedilol treated RVs most resembled in their expression pattern the RVF pattern. However, an analysis beyond the boundaries of the prediction set revealed a small set of genes associated with carvedilol reversal of RVF. Pathway analysis of this set of genes revealed expression changes of genes involved in cardiac hypertrophy, mitochondrial dysfunction, protein ubiquitination, and sphingolipid metabolism. Genes encoding proteins in the cardiac hypertrophy and protein ubiquitination pathways were downregulated in the RV by carvedilol, while genes encoding proteins in the mitochondrial dysfunction and sphingolipid metabolism pathways were upregulated by carvedilol.

Project description:Right ventricular failure (RVF) due to pressure load is a major cause of death in congenital heart diseases and pulmonary hypertension. The mechanisms of RVF are yet unknown. Research is hampered by the lack of a good RVF model. Our aim was to study the pathophysiology of RVF in a rat model of chronic pressure load. Wistar rats (n=19) were subjected to pulmonary artery banding (PAB, 1.1mm) or sham surgery (CON). All PAB rats developed RVF (reduced cardiac output, RV stroke volume, TAPSE, increased end diastolic pressure, all p<0.05 vs. CON) but clinical symptoms of RVF (inactivity, ruffled fur, dyspnea, ascites) necessitating termination ensued in a subset (5/12) of rats (RVF+) after a period of 52±5 days. Rats with RVF+ had significantly worse RV function and pericardial effusion and liver congestion compared to RVF rats without symptoms (all p<0.05), despite similar pressure load (p=NS RVF vs. RVF+). Chronic pulmonary artery banding invariably leads to RV failure in rats, and a subset transitions to advanced clinical RVF. RVF is characterized by enhanced contractility, progressive diastolic dysfunction and derangement of energy metabolism, thus improving diastolic function and targeting RV metabolism may be the keys to treating RVF.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is strikingly dysregulated in many cancers. Although APA dysregulation is frequently associated with poor prognosis, the biological importance of most APA events remains unclear simply because few have been functionally studied. Here, we performed a CRISPR/Cas9-based screen to assess individual APA events’ contributions to tumor growth in vivo. Forcing use of specific polyadenylation sites altered mRNA and protein levels to modify mouse melanoma growth in an immunocompetent host. Our screen highlighted APA events of potential clinical relevance. For example, forced Atg7 3′ UTR lengthening in mouse melanoma reduced ATG7 protein levels and tumor immune infiltration; similarly, in human melanoma, a long ATG7 3′ UTR and low mRNA levels were significantly associated with reduced anti-tumor T cell activity and failure of immune checkpoint blockade. Our data demonstrate that cancer-associated APA plays a causative role in tumorigenesis and motivate future studies of the therapeutic potential of modulating APA.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) of mRNAs has emerged as an important mechanism for post-transcriptional gene regulation in higher eukaryotes. Although microarrays have recently been used to characterize APA globally, they have a number of serious limitations that prevents comprehensive and highly quantitative analysis. To better characterize APA and its regulation, we have developed a deep sequencing-based method called Poly(A) Site Sequencing (PAS-Seq) for quantitatively profiling RNA polyadenylation at the transcriptome level. PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions in mRNAs and noncoding RNAs, but also provides quantitative information on the relative abundance of polyadenylated RNAs. We first analyzed HeLa cell transcriptome using PAS-Seq to demonstrate that PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions, but also provide quantitative information on the relativel abundance of APA isoforms. Next we analyzed the mouse embryonic stem cells, neural stem/progenitor cells, and neurons by PAS-Seq to characterize the dynamic changes of mRNA polyadenylation during stem cell differentiation.

Project description:Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) independently predicts worse outcomes in both heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), irrespective of their etiologies. Yet no evidence-based therapies exist for RVD and progression towards RV failure (RVF) can occur in spite of optimal medical treatment of HF or PH. This disparity reflects our insufficient understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of RVF. To identify molecular mechanisms that may uniquely underlie RVF, we investigated the cardiac ventricular transcriptome of advanced HF patients, with and without RVF. Using weighted gene co-expression network and module-phenotype analyses, we identified a 279-member gene module that correlated significantly and specifically with RVF. Within this module, WIPI1 served as a genetic hub, HSPB6, SNAP47, and MAP4 as drivers, and PRDX5 as a repressor of RVF. We subsequently confirmed the ventricular specificity and temporal relationship of Wipi1, Hspb6, and Map4 transcript expression changes in murine models of pressure overload induced RV failure versus LV failure and subsequently uncovered differential dysregulation of autophagy in the failing RV versus the failing LV, namely a shift towards excessive non-canonical, Beclin1-independent, Wipi1/LC3II-mediated autophagy in RVF. In vitro siRNA silencing of Wipi1 partially protected isolated neonatal rat ventricular cardiac myocytes against aldosterone-induced failing phenotype. Moreover, silencing Wipi1 blunted mitochondrial superoxide production and limited non-canonical autophagy in this in vitro RVF model. Our findings suggest that Wipi1 regulates mitochondrial oxidative signaling and autophagy in cardiac myocytes. Inhibition of Wipi1 may hold promise as a therapeutic target for RVF.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important post-transcriptional modification implicated in development. Female germline stem cell (FGSC) is unipotent and capable of giving rise to oocyte. However, whether alternative polyadenylation plays a role in self-renew and cell fate determination of FGSCs remain elusive. Here, we used 3T-Seq developed in our lab to profile genome-wide 3a termini of transcripts and delineate APA sites in mouse FGSCs and explored the biological significance of APA modulation in FGSC identity.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) has recently been recognized as a universal mechanism for gene regulation, but it remains unclear how APA is controlled. Here we report that the Arabidopsis thaliana Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 10 (AtPRMT10) regulates global APA with its protein partner HLP1, a conserved hnRNP A/B protein. HLP1 binds preferentially to A-rich and U-rich cis-elements around polyadenylation sites, thereby linking AtPRMT10 to the control of APA through protein-protein interactions. AtPRMT10 mutations cause significant proximal-to-distal poly(A) site shifts largely overlapping with those in hlp1-1 mutants. Proximal polyadenylation is maintained by AtPRMT10-directed methylation and is mediated in part by methylation of HLP1 at specific arginine residues. Our findings demonstrate that arginine methylation of an RNA-binding protein adds a novel layer of regulation to widespread alternative polyadenylation.
