Exon skipping variations modulate stress-inducible inflammation

ABSTRACT: Psychological stress reactions can stimulate mammalian immune functions due to yet unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that these involve massive post-stress alternative splicing modulations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). RNA was extracted from PBMCs of BALB/C mice following unpredictable repeated foot shocks. Among the tested group, five mice exhibiting the maximal circulation glucocorticoids were selected for the stress group. PBMC RNA of 5 BALB/C mice served as the control group. Through linear regression analysis of all the reciprocal junction pairs represented on the microarrays and the Ensembl database, 496 alternative splicing events were detected. The stressed mice showed 65% exon skipping out of total splicing event changes compared to controls. The detected genes exhibited functional enrichment (through DAVID EASE analysis) in alternative splicing (47%), cellular response to stress (12%), lymphocyte activation (8%), stress-induced proteins (2%) and heat-shock-induced proteins (2%). Specifically, exon skipping modifications in the Hnrnph1 and CLK1 splicing-related transcripts were accompanied by stress-inducible inclusions in the immune response-related IRF-1 gene. Our findings demonstrate dependence on exon skipping and independence from glucocorticoid and innate immunity for the stress-inducible exacerbation of immunity and open new venues for preventing post-trauma inflammatory crisis.

Cotranscriptional exon skipping in the genotoxic stress response

Project description:Pre-mRNA splicing is functionally coupled to transcription, and genotoxic stresses can enhance alternative exon inclusion by affecting elongating RNA polymerase II. We report here that various genotoxic stress inducers, including camptothecin, inhibit the interaction between EWS, an RNA polymerase II-associated factor, and YB-1, a spliceosome-associated factor. This results in the cotranscriptional skipping of several exons of the MDM2 gene encoding the main p53 ubiquitin-ligase. This reversible exon skipping participates in the timely regulation of MDM2 expression, and may contribute to the accumulation of p53 during stress exposure and its rapid shut off when stress is removed. Finally, a splicing-sensitive microarray identified numerous exons that are skipped in response to camptothecin and EWS/YB-1 depletion. These data demonstrate genotoxic stress-induced alteration of the communication between the transcriptional and splicing machineries, resulting in widespread exon skipping and playing a central role in the genotoxic stress response. 6 samples of MCF7 cells exposed to different treatments were analyzed: 3 x control_6 hours; 3 x camptothecin_6 hours.

An Alternative Splicing Event Amplifies Evolutionary Differences Between Vertebrates

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) generates extensive transcriptomic and proteomic complexity. However, the functions of species- and lineage-specific splice variants are largely unknown. Here, we show that mammalian-specific skipping of exon 9 of PTBP1 alters its splicing regulatory activities and affects the inclusion levels of numerous exons. During neurogenesis, skipping of exon 9 reduces PTBP1 repressive activity so as to facilitate activation of a brain-specific AS program. Engineered skipping of the orthologous exon in chicken cells induces a large number of mammalian-like AS changes in PTBP1 target exons. These results thus reveal that a single exon skipping event in an RNA binding regulator directs numerous AS changes between species. The results further suggest that these changes contributed to evolutionary differences in the formation of vertebrate nervous systems. This study contains two sets of samples: (Set 1) mRNA profiling of human 293 cells subjected to four different conditions in two biological replicates: non-targetting control siRNA, PTBP1 and PTBP2 siRNA, PTBP1 and PTBP2 siRNA with overexpression of full-length human PTBP1, PTBP1 and PTBP2 siRNA with overexpression of exon-excluded human PTBP1. (Set 2) mRNA profiling of chicken DT40 cells with 3 genotypes in two bioligcal replicates: wildtype cells, cells with PTBP1 exon 8 (orthologous to human PTBP1 exon 9) deleted in one allele, and cells with PTBP1 exon 8 deleted in both alleles.

PTB CLIP-seq

Project description:Recent transcriptome analysis indicates that >90% of human genes undergoes alternative splicing, underscoring the contribution of differential RNA processing to diverse proteomes in higher eukaryotic cells. The polypyrimidine tract binding protein PTB is a well-characterized splicing repressor, but PTB knockdown causes both exon inclusion and skipping. Genome-wide mapping of PTB-RNA interactions and construction of a functional RNA map now revealed that dominant PTB binding near a competing constitutive splice site generally induces exon inclusion whereas prevalent binding close to an alternative site often causes exon skipping. This positional effect was further demonstrated by disrupting or creating a PTB binding site on minigene constructs and testing their responses to PTB knockdown or overexpression. These findings suggest a mechanism for PTB to modulate splice site competition to produce opposite functional consequences, which may be generally applicable to RNA binding splicing factors to positively or negatively regulate alternative splicing in mammalian cells.

MCF10A cells expressing empty vector, siRNA-resistant wild-type and siRNA-resistant catalytically dead TIP60 treated with control or TIP60 siRNA

Project description:Alternative splicing of RNA transcripts can result in a multitude of variations from the genome. Since splicing can occur co-transcriptionally, chromatin structure has been reported to affect the choice of a splice site. TIP60 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor gene that is frequently downregulated in cancers. Since TIP60 is a writer of histone and non-histone modifications, we investigated TIP60’s role in modulating alternative splicing. RNA sequencing was performed in TIP60-depleted MCF10A cells and with cells rescued with wild-type or catalytically inactive TIP60. The majority of the differential splicing events were skipped exon events, including exon 25 skipping event of ITGA6. To identify the splicing factor that regulates this event, a siRNA screen of 77 splicing factors was employed. TIP60 depletion results in an increase in the ITGA6 isoform that lacks exon 25 and the siRNA screen identified ESRP2 to regulate splicing of ITGA6 exon 25. This study suggests that alternative splicing of ITGA6 exon 25 is regulated by the TIP60-ESRP2 axis.

Lariat sequencing in a unicellular yeast identifies regulated alternative splicing of exons that are evolutionarily conserved with humans

Project description:Here we describe a lariat-sequencing approach, which offers high sensitivity for detecting splicing events, and its application to the unicellular fungus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, an organism that shares many of the hallmarks of alternative splicing in mammalian systems but for which no previous examples of exon-skipping had been demonstrated. Over 200 previously unannotated splicing events were identified, including examples of regulated alternative splicing. Total RNA from ∆dbr1 S. pombe grown under 41 different conditions, pooled, then run under two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to separate linear from circular RNA. Circular RNA was excised and prepared as a single-end barcoded Illumina sequencing library.

Alternative splicing analysis of SRRM1 or SRRM2 targets in THP-1 cells

Project description:We reported the joint SRRM1/2 regulation is not the major mechanism of SRRM2-mediated alternative splicing, and that maintenance of splicing condensates by SRRM2 is important for proper alternative splicing. We knocked SRRM1/2 down with three different shRNAs, performed RNA-seq and derived the differential alternative splicing events (DASEs) using rMATS. DASEs of SRRM1/2 were largely different with little overlap, and displayed a different splicing pattern. SRRM2 deficiency induces skipping of cassette exons with short introns and weak 5’ splice. Nearly 25% of the skipped events upon SRRM2 knockdown were unannotated. More than 40% of validated DASEs upon SRRM2 suppression were associated with protein domain change (>50% domain removed by splicing). Domain changes, and especially large region removal by multiple exon skipping is a significant mechanism for protein dysfunction. Thus, alternative splicing is the major mechanism for the maintenance of protein function and cell homeostasis by SRRM2.
