Project description:Large-scale cancer genomics projects are profiling hundreds of tumors at multiple molecular layers, including copy number, mRNA and miRNA expression, but the mechanistic relationships between these layers are often excluded from computational models. We developed a supervised learning framework for integrating molecular profiles with regulatory sequence information to reveal regulatory programs in cancer, including miRNA-mediated regulation. We applied our approach to 320 glioblastoma profiles and identified key miRNAs and transcription factors as common or subtype-specific drivers of expression changes. We confirmed that predicted gene expression signatures for proneural subtype regulators were consistent with in vivo expression changes in a PDGF-driven mouse model. We tested two predicted proneural drivers, miR-124 and miR-132, both underexpressed in proneural tumors, by overexpression in neurospheres and observed a partial reversal of corresponding tumor expression changes. Computationally dissecting the role of miRNAs in cancer may ultimately lead to small RNA therapeutics tailored to subtype or individual. miRNA mimetics were transfected to PDGFRA amplified neurosphere cell lines. Gene expression was measured 24 hours after transfection

Project description:We tested the hypothesis that a panel of placental mammal-specific miRNAs and their targets play important to establish receptivity to implantation and their dysregulated expression may be a feature in women with early pregnancy loss. Relative expression levels of miR-340-5p, −542-3p, and −671-5p all increased following treatment of Ishikawa cells with progesterone (10 μg/ml) for 24 hrs (p < 0.05). RNA sequencing of these P4-treated cells identified co-ordinate changes to 6,367 transcripts of which 1713 were predicted targets of miR-340-5p, 670 of miR-542-3p, and 618 of miR-671-5p. Quantitative proteomic analysis of Ishikawa cells transfected with mimic or inhibitor (48 hrs: n=3 biological replicates) for each of the P4-regulated miRNAs was carried out to identify targets of these miRNAs. Excluding off target effects, mir-340-5p mimic altered 1,369 proteins while inhibition changed expression of 376 proteins (p < 0.05) of which, 72 were common to both treatments. A total of 280 proteins were identified between predicted (mirDB) and confirmed (in vitro) targets. In total, 171 proteins predicted to be targets by mirDB were altered in vitro by treatment with miR-340-5p mimic or inhibitor and were also altered by treatment of endometrial epithelial cells with P4. In vitro targets of miR-542-3p identified 1,378 proteins altered by mimic while inhibition altered 975 a core of 200 proteins were changed by both. 100 protein targets were predicted and only 46 proteins were P4 regulated. miR-671-mimic altered 1,252 proteins with inhibition changing 492 proteins of which 97 were common to both, 95 were miDB predicted targets and 46 were also P4-regulated. All miRNAs were detected in endometrial biopsies taken from patients during the luteal phase of their cycle, irrespective of prior or future pregnancy outcomes Expression of mir-340-5p showed an overall increase in patients who had previously suffered a miscarriage and had a subsequent miscarriage, as compared to those who had infertility or previous miscarriage and subsequently went on to have a life birth outcome. The regulation of these miRNAs and their protein targets regulate the function of transport and secretion, and adhesion of the endometrial epithelia required for successful implantation in humans. Dysfunction of these miRNAs (and therefore the targets they regulate) may contribute to endometrial-derived recurrent pregnancy loss in women.

Project description:We determined the effect of p53 activation on de novo protein synthesis using quantitative proteomics of newly synthesized proteins (pulsed stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture, pSILAC) in combination with mRNA and non-coding RNA expression analyses by next generation sequencing (RNA-, miR-Seq) in the colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line SW480. Furthermore, genome-wide DNA binding of p53 was analyzed by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq). Thereby, we identified differentially regulated mRNAs (1258 up, 415 down), miRNAs (111 up, 95 down), lncRNAs (270 up, 123 down) and proteins (542 up, 569 down). Changes in mRNA and protein expression levels showed a positive correlation (r = 0.50, p < 0.0001). More transcriptionally induced genes displayed occupied p53 binding sites (4.3% mRNAs, 7.2% miRNAs, 6.3% lncRNAs, 5.9% proteins) than repressed genes (2.4% mRNAs, 3.2% miRNAs, 0.8% lncRNAs, 1.9% proteins), suggesting indirect mechanisms of repression. Around 50% of the downregulated proteins displayed seed-matching sequences of p53-induced miRNAs in the corresponding 3â??-UTRs. Moreover, proteins repressed by p53 significantly overlapped with those previously shown to be repressed by miR-34a. We confirmed upregulation of the novel direct p53 target genes LINC01021, MDFI, ST14 and miR-486 and showed that ectopic LINC01021 expression inhibited proliferation in SW480 cells. Furthermore, HMGB1, KLF12 and CIT mRNAs were confirmed as direct targets of the p53-induced miR-34a, miR-205 and miR-486-5p, respectively. In line with the loss of p53 function during tumor progression, elevated expression of HMGB1, KLF12 and CIT was detected in advanced stages of cancer. This study provides new insights and a comprehensive catalogue of p53-mediated regulations and p53 DNA binding in CRC cells.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by inhibiting protein synthesis of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). MicroRNA-142 (miR-142), which has tumor-suppressive properties, was functionally deleted by CRISPR/Cas9 knockout in cell lines derived from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a highly aggressive tumor that represents about 30% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma worldwide. Mutations in miR-142 affect about 20% of all cases of DLBCL. By proteome analyses, the miR-142 knockout resulted in a consistent up-regulation of 52 but also down-regulation of 41 proteins in the GC-DLBCL lines BJAB and SUDHL4. Various mitochondrial ribosomal proteins were up-regulated in line with their pro-tumorigenic properties, while proteins necessary for MHC-I presentation were down-regulated in accordance with the finding that miR-142 knockout mice have a defective immune response. Of the deregulated proteins/genes, CFL2, CLIC4, STAU1, and TWF1 are known targets of miR-142, and we could additionally confirm AKT1S1, CCNB1, LIMA1, and TFRC as new targets of miR-142-3p or -5p. We further show that seed-sequence mutations of miR-142 can be used to confirm potential targets and that miRNA knockout cell lines might thus be used to identify novel targets of miRNAs. Due to the complex contribution of miRNAs within cellular regulatory networks, in particular when a miRNA highly present in the RISC complex is deleted and can be replaced by other endogenous miRNAs, primary effects on gene expression may be covered by secondary layers of regulation

Project description:Squamous cell lung cancer (SCC) and adenocarcinoma are the most common subtypes of the lung tumours. The search for cancer-directed treatments has increased the need for understanding molecular features of either histological subtype. The aim of this study was to identify transcriptional regulation differences due to miRNA expression profiles between SCC and adenocarcinoma. For this propose, a total of 44 patients were evaluated to assess the correlation between the miRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels. Total RNA were isolated, amplified, labeled and hybridized on Agilent human whole genome V2 22 K microarray chip. qRT-PCR was conducted to validate our microarray data. MicroRNA expression was detected and quantified using the TaqMan Low Density Arrays. Predicted miRNA-mRNA interactions were taken from miRanda, miRWalk and TargetScan. After processing data, changes in 56 mRNAs as well as in 9 miRNAs were detected between SCC and adenocarcinoma. Nearly 20% of overall deregulated genes were targeted by at least one of the 9 miRNAs (miR-149, miR-205, miR-375, miR-378, miR-422a, miR-483-5p, miR-494, miR-601 and miR-708) differentially expressed between SCC and adenocarcinoma. Genes predicted (CEACAM6, CGN, CLDN3, ABCC3, MLPH, ACSL5, TMEM45B, MUC1) to be targeted by several miRNAs were individually validated by qRT-PCR. We found genes involved in tight junctions and other involved in resistance to anticancer agents. These genes were reliable biomarkers, with high sensitivity and specificity, to detect differences between the two most common histological subtypes of lung cancer. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that the transcriptional regulation differences through miRNA expression play an important role in key hallmarks of non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) carrying NPM1 mutations and cytoplasmic nucleophosmin (NPMc+ AML) accounts for about one-third of adult AML and shows distinct features, including a unique gene expression profile. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of 19-25 nucleotides in length that have been linked to the development of cancer. Here, we investigated the role of miRNAs in the biology of NPMc+ AML. The miRNA expression was evaluated in 85 adult de novo AML patients characterized for subcellular localization/mutation status of NPM1 and FLT3 mutations using a custom microarray platform. Data were analyzed by using univariate t test within BRB tools. We identified a strong miRNA signature that distinguishes NPMc+ mutated (n = 55) from the cytoplasmic-negative (NPM1 unmutated) cases (n = 30) and includes the up-regulation of miR-10a, miR-10b, several let-7 and miR-29 family members. Many of the down-regulated miRNAs including miR-204 and miR-128a are predicted to target several HOX genes. Indeed, we confirmed that miR-204 targets HOXA10 and MEIS1, suggesting that the HOX up-regulation observed in NPMc+ AML may be due in part by loss of HOX regulators-miRNAs. FLT3-ITD+ samples were characterized by up-regulation of miR-155. Further experiments demonstrated that the up-regulation of miR-155 was independent from FLT3 signaling. Our results identify a unique miRNA signature associated with NPMc+ AML and provide evidence that support a role for miRNAs in the regulation of HOX genes in this leukemia subtype. Moreover, we found that miR-155 was strongly but independently associated with FLT3-ITD mutations.

Project description:Over the last two decades, mounting evidence has demonstrated the aberrant expression of miRNAs in different human malignancies, including ovarian carcinomas. In this study, we found that miR-141 were secreted by ovarian cancer cells and transferred to the stromal cells by exosomal pathway. To clarify the mechanisms that miR-141 remodeling stromal fibroblast and reprogramming the relevant signals, miR-141 were overexpressed in WPMY-1 and their respective scrambled control were send for proteomic analysis.

Project description:Breast cancer is the most common malignancy that develops in women, responsible for the highest cancer-associated death rates. Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) represent an important subtype that have an aggressive clinical phenotype, are associated with a higher likelihood of metastasis and are not responsive to current targeted therapies. miRNAs have emerged as an attractive candidate for molecular biomarkers and treatment targets in breast cancer, but their role in the progression of TNBC remains largely unexplored. This study has investigated miRNA expression profiles in 31 primary TNBC cases and in 13 lymph node metastases compared with 23 matched normal breast tissues to determine miRNAs associated with the initiation of this disease subtype and those associated with its metastasis. 71 miRNAs were differentially expressed in TNBC, the majority of which have previously been associated with breast cancer, including members of the miR-200 family and the miR-17-92 oncogenic cluster, suggesting that miRNAs involved in the initiation of TNBC are not subtype specific. However, the repertoire of miRNAs expressed in lymph node negative and lymph node positive TNBCs were largely distinct from one another. In particular, miRNA profiles associated with lymph node negative disease tended to be up-regulated, while those associated with lymph node positive disease were down-regulated and largely overlapped with the profiles of their matched lymph node metastases. miRNA expression profiles were examined in 31 primary TNBC cases and in 13 lymph node metastases compared with 23 matched normal breast tissues
