A polycistronic locus encodes both a tumor-suppressive microRNA, and a long non-coding RNA regulating testis morphology in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: The impact of non-coding RNAs on stem cell biology and differentiation processes is an important and incompletely understood area of research. Using the testes of Drosophila melanogaster as a proven model for investigating these processes, we identified a polycistronic locus from which two non-coding transcripts, miR-317 and the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Peony, are produced, with alternative polyadenylation implicated in regulation of their differential expression levels. We report here that each transcript has a distinct role in Drosophila testes; the absence of miR-317 leads to the emergence of germ-cell tumors in developing flies, and the increased expression of Peony results in the disruption of the muscle sheath covering the testis. We also show that miR-317 deficiency increases Notch signaling activity in somatic cyst cells, upregulates multiple predicted targets of miR-317, and drives germline tumorigenesis. Our findings establish miR-317 as a tumor suppressor controlling Notch signaling strength and uncover alternative polyadenylation as an unrecognized mechanism governing miRNA expression.

Testis-expressed cluster of microRNAs 959-964 controls spermatid differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:MicroRNAs are a wide class of ~22 nt non-coding RNAs of metazoans capable of inhibiting target mRNAs translation by binding to partially complementary sites in their 3âUTRs. Due to their regulatory potential, miRNAs are implicated in functioning of a broad range of biological pathways and processes. Here we investigate the functions of the miR-959-964 cluster expressed predominantly in testes of Drosophila melanogaster. The deletion of miR-959-964 resulted in male sterility due to the disturbance of the spermatid individualization process. Analysis of the transcriptome by microarray followed by luciferase reporter assay revealed didum, for, fdl and CG10512 as the targets of miR-959-964. Moreover, the deletion of miR-959-964 is accompanied by a decreased the expression of genes responsible for microtubule-based movement and spermatid differentiation. Thus, we suggest that miR-959-964 can control the process of spermatid individualization by direct and indirect modulating the expression of different components of the individualization process. In addition, we have shown that in comparison to other miRNAs, the rate of evolution of the testis-specific miR-959-964 cluster is unusually high, indicating its possible involvement in speciation via reproductive isolation.

Drosophila early embryos LC-MSMS

Project description:Cytoplasmic polyadenylation is a mechanism to promote mRNA translation in a wide variety of biological contexts.The conserved RNA-binding protein family CPEB has been shown to mediate canonical cytoplasmic polyadenylation of target transcripts. We have previously reported evidence for RNA-interference factor Dicer-2 as a component of a non-canonical complex, that operates independent of CPEB in Drosophila. In this study, we investigate Dicer-2 mRNA targets and protein co-factors in cytoplasmic polyadenylation. Using RIP‐Seq analysis we identify hundreds of potential Dicer-2 target transcripts, ~60% of which were previously found as targets of the cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase Wispy, suggesting widespread roles of Dicer-2 in cytoplasmic polyadenylation. Large-scale immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry revealed Ataxin-2 and Twenty-four among the high-confidence interactors of Dicer-2. Complex analyses indicated that both factors form an RNA‐independent complex with Dicer‐2, and mediate interactions of Dicer‐2 with Wispy. Functional poly(A)‐test analyses showed that Twenty‐four and Ataxin-2 are required for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of a subset of Dicer‐2 targets. Our results reveal components of a novel cytoplasmic polyadenylation complex that operates during Drosophila early embryogenesis.

Altered expression profile of miRNAs in canine inguinal testes

Project description:Cryptorchidism is a major disorder of sex development (DSD) in dogs, with a complex, polygenic background. It is known that in canine undescended testes expression of protein coding genes is massively up- or down-regulated and it is associated with certain epigenetic modifications. In the present study we aimed to compare expression profile of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) in undescended (UD) and descended (D) testes. Undescended (UD) and descended (D) testes of unilateral, inguinal cryptorchid dogs (n=9), as well as scrotal testes of control dogs (C, n=8) were analyzed by small non-coding RNA sequencing (sncRNA-seq) approach. Comparison of UD and D testes revealed 224 differentially expressed miRNA (DEGs), with 118 meeting the criteria of FDR < 0.05 and |log2FC| > 1.5 (8 up- and 110 downregulated). Similarly, comparison of UD and C testes identified 200 DEGs, with 102 meeting the same criteria (9 up- and 93 downregulated).

A human-specific microRNA controls the timing of excitatory synaptogenesis

Project description:The development of neural circuits in the human cortex is considerably prolonged in comparison to non-human primates, a trait which contributes to the remarkable cognitive capacity of modern humans. In contrast to protein-coding genes, non-coding genes underwent a dramatic expansion during evolution, suggesting their involvement in human-specific aspects of brain development. Here, using a glial free human-induced pluripotent stem-cell derived neuron model (“igNeurons”), we show widespread expression and dynamic regulation of various non-coding RNA classes, including microRNAs, during human excitatory synapse development. The expression of a human-specific microRNA, miR-1229-3p, strongly correlates with the neuromorphological trajectory of igNeurons. miR-1229-3p inhibition promotes the formation of excitatory synaptic co-clusters at early stages but reduces dendritic arborization in more mature neurons, consistent with accelerated neuronal maturation. Morphological alterations are accompanied by enhanced calcium spike activity and excitatory synaptic transmission. Mechanistically, miR-1229-3p controls mitochondrial homeostasis by directly targeting important regulators of mitochondrial autophagy and fission, such as Pink1. Stimulation of mitochondrial metabolism rescues the enhanced calcium spike activity in miR-1229-3p depleted neurons, demonstrating a causal involvement of mitochondrial homeostasis. Thus, our findings reveal an important function of human-specific miR-1229-3p in developmental timing of human synaptogenesis and generally implicate non-coding RNAs in the control of human connectivity and cognition.

MonoMac6 (MM6) cells proteomics LC-MS/MS

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs, which control the expression of target genes by either translational repression or RNA degradation, known as canonical miR function. MiR-328 has a non-canonical function and can activate gene expression by antagonizing the activity of heterogeneous ribonuclear protein E2 (hnRNP E2). The global importance of such non-canonical miR function is not yet known. In order to achieve a better understanding of the non-canonical miR activity, a compartment specific tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic analysis in differentiated MonoMac6 (MM6) cells was performed.

Loss of miR-210 leads to progressive retinal degeneration in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:miRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. We used small RNA sequencing to identify tissue-specific miRNAs in the adult brain, thorax, gut and fat body of Drosophila melanogaster. One of the most brain-specific miRNAs that we identified was miR-210, an evolutionarily highly conserved miRNA implicated in the regulation of hypoxia in mammals. In Drosophila, we show that miR-210 is specifically expressed in sensory organs including photoreceptors. miR-210 knock-out mutants are not sensitive towards hypoxia but show progressive degradation of photoreceptor cells, accompanied by decreased photoreceptor potential, demonstrating an important function of miR-210 in photoreceptor maintenance and survival.

Transcript profiling in Paoenia ostii during chilling induced endo-dormancy release

Project description:To better understanding the genetic and physiological changes behind the dormancy process in tree peony, we performed customized cDNA microarray to investigate gene expression profiling in tree peony ‘Feng Dan Bai’ buds during chilling induced dormancy release. Endo-dormant tree peony plants were exposed to 0-4°C from 5 November to 30 December 2009 in Qingdao, Shandong, China. Buds were collected after 0 d, 6 d, 12 d, 15 d, 18 d and 24 d chilling endured. DNA microarrays were customized using Agilent eArray 5.0 program, containing spots with 14,957 gene-specific 60-mer oligonucleotides representing 14,957 non abundant ESTs obtained from 454 sequencing normalized cDNA of tree peony buds during chilling duration (TSA, 65,217). Total 3,174 significantly differentially-expressed genes (P<0.05) were observed through endo-dormancy release, and the number of up-regulated (1,611) and that of down-regulated (1,563) was almost same. Expression of differentially-expressed genes associated with GA biosynthesis and signaling, cell growth and development was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR, which displayed similar trends pattern in expression.
