Project description:Despite its biological importance, transfer RNA (tRNA) could not be adequately sequenced due to the abundant presence of post-transcriptional modifications and extensive structure that interfere with cDNA synthesis and adapter ligation. We achieve efficient and quantitative tRNA sequencing by removing base methylations using engineered demethylases and using a highly processive thermo-stable reverse transcriptase without the need for adapter ligation (DMTRT-tRNA-seq). Our method should be applicable for biological investigations of tRNA in all organisms. Development of tRNA-Seq method

Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small adaptor RNAs essential for mRNA translation. Alterations in the cellular tRNA population can directly affect mRNA decoding rates and translational efficiency during cancer development and progression. To evaluate changes in the composition of the tRNA pool, multiple sequencing approaches have been developed to overcome reverse transcription blocks caused by the stable structures of these molecules and their numerous base modifications. It remains however unclear whether current sequencing protocols faithfully capture tRNAs existing in cells or tissues. This is specifically challenging for clinical tissue samples that often present variable RNA qualities. For this reason, we developed ALL-tRNAseq, which combines the highly processive MarathonRT and RNA demethylation, for the robust assessment of tRNA expression, together with a randomized adapter ligation strategy prior to reverse transcription, to assess tRNA fragmentation levels in both cell lines and tissues. Incorporation of tRNA fragments not only informed on sample integrity, but also significantly improved tRNA profiling of tissue samples. Our data showed that our profiling strategy effectively improves classification of oncogenic signatures in glioblastoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tissues, particularly for samples presenting higher levels of RNA fragmentation, further highlighting the utility of ALL-tRNAseq for translational research.

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are key molecules regulating gene expression. High-throughput RNA-seq greatly advanced sncRNA discovery; however, traditional cDNA library construction protocols generate biased sequencing results, in part due to RNA modifications that interfere with adapter ligation and reverse transcription processes, preventing the detection of sncRNAs bearing these modifications. Here, we present PANDORA-seq (Panoramic RNA Display by Overcoming RNA modification Aborted Sequencing), employing a combination of enzymatic treatments to remove key RNA modifications that block adapter ligation and reverse transcription during cDNA library construction. PANDORA-Seq enables the discovery of thousands of modified sncRNAs previously undetected, mostly tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) and rRNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNAs), which are tissue/cell-specifically detected across mouse brain, liver, spleen, sperm, mouse and human embryonic stem cells, and HeLa cells. Moreover, PANDORA-Seq reveals dynamic changes of tsRNAs and rsRNAs during reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), pointing to future investigations on their potential regulatory functions.

Project description:To investigate differential mitochondrial tRNA gene expression in wild type (WT) and mutant (E423P) mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) overexpression flies, we performed Drsophila mitochondrial tRNA-seq according to the Hydro-tRNAseq method. tRNA-seq reads were subjected to 3' - adapter filtering , 3' - adapter trimming and quality control. The tRNAs expression levels were measured by tag count. For each tRNA sequence-based profile, the mapped reads number used to estimate the expression level of each tRNA. The tRNAs expression profiling was calculated based on uniquely mapped reads and including mapped reads, respectively. We found no difference in the relative abundance of mitochondrial individual tRNAs between WT and E423P overexpression flies.

Project description:Histone lysine methylations are essential components of the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms. Although major histone lysine methylations have been extensively investigated, low-abundance methylations remain largely under-studied. Among the low-abundance methylations, H3K14me3 has been identified in mammalian cells upon pathological infection by Legionella pneumophila, a gram-negative bacterium and causative agent of a severe form of pneumonia. Global host chromatin H3K14 trimethylation and transcription repression are mediated by an H3K14 methyltransferase, regulator of methylation A (RomA) encoded by the bacterial genome 1. Importantly, previous mass spectrometry studies also suggested the presence of endogenous H3K14 methylations among eukaryotes 2-7, although these findings have not been confirmed by independent means. In addition, the genomic distribution as well as the H3K14me3 regulatory enzymes have not been identified. Here, using an H3K14me3-specific antiserum we report the identification of distinct and shared H3K14me3 distribution patterns in HEK293T and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), two cell lines with extensive epigenome profiles allowing cross comparisons with other known histone marks. H3K14me3 heavily decorates the KRAB-ZNF (Krupple-associated box containing zinc finger gene) clusters in both the HEK293T and hESC cells but is only strongly associated with active transcription in HEK293T cells, where it binds thousands of active promoters. We further profiled H3K14me3 in a mouse melanoma cell line, B16, and discovered similar distribution features as those in HEK293T cells. Importantly, we identified members of the KDM4 family of histone demethylases (KDM4A, KDM4B and KDM4C) as H3K14me3 demethylases. As the KDM4 family members have been shown to mediate H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 demethylation 8, our findings also revealed crosstalks among these modifications.

Project description:We report performance of six different protocols for small RNAseq library preparation and of a method utilizing sequencing of probes targeting microRNAs (HTG EdgeSeq). Recently, small RNA sequencing (small RNA-seq) has been introduced as a method for quantifying circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) and enabling their global profiling without prior knowledge of target sequences. Despite its great promise, small RNA-seq has not delivered the expected outcomes, particularly due to ligation and PCR bias introduced within the workflow. In this study, we assessed the performance of all existing approaches to the small RNA-seq of miRNAs in plasma samples: original two adapter ligation approach; single adapter ligation with subsequent circularization; polyadenylation; use of randomized adapters; and use of unique molecular identifiers (UMI). Using comprehensive set of metrics, we evaluated each protocol in terms of yield, precision, accuracy, sensitivity, and ability to detect isomiRs. Moreover, we assessed performance of targeted RNA-seq method utilizing hybridization probes across relevant metrics and together with RT-qPCR we used it as a reference for accuracy evaluation. The best results were delivered by targeted RNA-seq outperforming other methods in all relevant parameters. The protocols using randomized adapters or UMIs showed consistent good performance across all of the assessed metrics. In contrast, the polyadenylation approach generated a high percentage of discarded reads and impeded the analysis of isomiRs. The single adapter ligation with subsequent circularization failed to prevent ligation bias and the traditional two adapter ligation approach achieved the worse scores in the majority of tested metrics. To sum, we provide a comprehensive comparison that can serve as a guide for new users interested in analysis of circulating miRNAs and as a reference for further comparative studies.

Project description:Accurate quantification of all microRNAs (miRNA) is important for understanding miRNA biology and for development of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. We have developed a new method of preparation of small RNA sequencing libraries (RealSeq®-AC) that ligates miRNAs with a single combo adapter and then circularizes the ligation products. When compared to other methods, RealSeq®-AC provided greatly reduced sequencing bias and allowed the identification of the largest variety of miRNAs in biological samples.
