N6-adenosine methylation in miRNAs

ABSTRACT: Methylation of N6-adenosine (me6A) has been observed in rRNA, tRNA, snoRNA, lncRNA and mRNA (ref.), but not yet miRNA. Interestingly, many mRNAs contain miRNA-binding sites and me6A in their 3'-UTR, although they do not appear to overlap (Mayer). We have investigated whether adenosine methylation affects miRNA levels and whether miRNAs are methylated. Indeed, we have obtained evidence suggesting that miRNA can be methylated and that the steady state level of certain miRNAs is affected by the level of the 6meA demethylase FTO.

PRMT1-mediated methylation of the Large Drosha Complex regulates microRNA biogenesis

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is a tightly controlled multi-step process operated in the nucleus by the activity of the Large Drosha Complex (LDC). Through high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) analysis we discovered that the LDC is extensively methylated, with 82 distinct methylated sites associated to 16 out of 23 subunits of the LDC. The majority of these modifications occurs on arginine (R)- residues (61), leading to 86 methylation events, while 29 lysine (K)-methylation events occurs on 21 sites of the complex. Interestingly, the depletion and pharmacological inhibition of PRMT1 lead to a widespread alteration of the methylation state of the complex and induce global decrease of miRNA expression, as a consequence of the specific impairment of the pri-to-pre-miRNA processing step. In particular, we show that the reduced methylation of the ILF3 subunit of the complex is linked to its diminished binding to the target pri-miRNAs. Overall, our study uncovers a previously uncharacterized role of R-methylation in the regulation of the LDC activity in mammalian cells, thus effecting global miRNA levels.

The Obesity-associated Fto gene regulates activity of the dopaminergic midbrain circuitry [FTO KO]

Project description:Here we use MeRIP-Seq to analyze global adenosine methylation (m6A) in mRNAs in the midbrain and striatum of Fto-deficient mice. We find that Fto deficiency leads to increased methylation within a subset of mRNAs important for neuronal signaling, including many within the dopaminergic signaling pathway. Collectively, our results show that Fto regulates demethylation of specific mRNAs in vivo, and this activity relates to control of dopaminergic transmission.

Adenosine methylation is widespread throughout the transcriptome and prominent within 3' UTRs

Project description:Here, we use a novel technique for locating regions of N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) throughout the transcriptome and present a profile of m6A sites in the mouse brain. Our use of methylated RNA immunoprecipitation combined with RNA-seq (MeRIP-Seq) identifies thousands of RNAs which contain m6A sites. In addition, we find that regions of m6A formation are particularly enriched near stop codons, which might provide clues into the potential funciton of this highly prevalent RNA modificaiton. Examination of m6A sites in murine brain RNA.

FTO controls reversible m6Am RNA methylation during snRNA biogenesis

Project description:Small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are core spliceosome components and mediate pre-mRNA splicing. Here we show that snRNAs contain a regulated and reversible nucleotide modification causing them to exist as two different methyl isoforms, m 1 and m 2 , reflecting the methylation state of the adenosine adjacent to the snRNA cap. We find that snRNA biogenesis involves the formation of an initial m 1 isoform with a single-methylated adenosine (2′-O-methyladenosine, Am), which is then converted to a dimethylated m 2 isoform (N 6 ,2′-O-dimethyladenosine, m 6 Am). The relative m 1 and m 2 isoform levels are determined by the RNA demethylase FTO, which selectively demethylates the m 2 isoform. We show FTO is inhibited by the oncometabolite d-2-hydroxyglutarate, resulting in increased m 2 -snRNA levels. Furthermore, cells that exhibit high m 2 -snRNA levels show altered patterns of alternative splicing. Together, these data reveal that FTO controls a previously unknown central step of snRNA processing involving reversible methylation, and suggest that epitranscriptomic information in snRNA may influence mRNA splicing.

Integrated small RNA, mRNA and protein omics reveal a miRNA network orchestrating metabolic maturation of the developing human heart

Project description:As the fetal heart develops, cardiomyocyte proliferation potential decreases while fatty acid oxidative capacity increases, a highly regulated transition known as cardiac maturation. Small noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), contribute to the establishment and control of tissue-specific transcriptional programs. However, small RNA expression dynamics and genome wide miRNA regulatory networks controlling maturation of the human fetal heart remain poorly understood. Transcriptome profiling of small RNAs revealed the temporal expression patterns of miRNA, piRNA, circRNA, snoRNA, snRNA and tRNA in the developing human heart between 8 and 19 weeks of gestation. Our analysis revealed that miRNAs were the most dynamically expressed small RNA species throughout mid-gestation. Cross-referencing differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs predicted 6,200 mRNA targets, 2134 of which were upregulated and 4066 downregulated as gestation progresses. Moreover, we found that downregulated targets of upregulated miRNAs predominantly control cell cycle progression, while upregulated targets of downregulated miRNAs are linked to energy sensing and oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, integration of miRNA and mRNA profiles with proteomes and reporter metabolites revealed that proteins encoded in mRNA targets, and their associated metabolites, mediate fatty acid oxidation and are enriched as the heart develops.This study revealed the small RNAome of the maturing human fetal heart. Furthermore, our findings suggest that coordinated activation and repression of miRNA expression throughout mid-gestation is essential to establish a dynamic miRNA-mRNA-protein network that decreases cardiomyocyte proliferation potential while increasing the oxidative capacity of the maturing human fetal heart.

Genome wide analysis reveals association of a FTO gene variant with epigenetic changes of several genes in human blood

Project description:FTO gene variants show the strongest association to obesity so far, but the role of the gene in obesity remains unclear. The FTO protein is a demethylation enzyme, which suggests that the link to obesity could be mediated through epigenetic changes. Herein, we determine the genome wide DNA methylation profile in blood from 47 female preadolescents and detect changes in five methylated regions, corresponding to six genes, associated with the FTO risk allele (rs9939609). In addition, we identify 20 differentially methylated regions associated with obesity. Our findings indicate that the effect of the FTO obesity risk allele may be mediated through epigenetic changes. Further, the identified regions might prove valuable biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of obesity and comorbidites, such as cardiovascular disease. Bisulphite converted DNA from 47 girls were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2. Half of the subjects are carriers of the FTO obesity risk allele (AA) and half of the normal allele (TT). In addition, both obese and normal-weigh indiviudals were included.
