Temperature regulates splicing efficiency of the cold-inducible RNA-binding protein gene Cirbp

ABSTRACT: In mammals body temperature fluctuates diurnally around a mean value of 36-37°C. Despite the small differences between minimal and maximal values, body temperature rhythms can drive robust cycles in gene expression in cultured cells and, likely, in, animals. Here we studied the mechanisms responsible for the temperature-dependent expression of Cold- Inducible RNA-Binding Protein (CIRBP). In NIH3T3 fibroblasts exposed to simulated mouse body temperature cycles Cirbp mRNA oscillates about 3-fold in abundance, as it does in mouse liver. This daily mRNA accumulation cycle is directly controlled by temperature oscillations and does not depend on the cells’ circadian clocks. Here, we show that the temperature-dependent accumulation of Cirbp mRNA is controlled primarily by the regulation of splicing efficiency, defined as the fraction of Cirbp pre-mRNA processed into mature mRNA. As revealed by genome-wide “approach-to-steady-kinetics”, this posttranscriptional mechanism is wide-spread in the temperature-dependent control of gene expression.

Project description:Background: Albeit with well-recorded cytoprotective function, the study of stress protein CIRBP coping with cardiotoxicity during chemotherapy remains obscured. Here we report that CIRBP plays a critical role in safeguarding against chemo-induced cardiac apoptosis and dysfunction. Methods: Treating the immortalized human ventricular myocytes (T0519) and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) with three regular chemotherapeutics (DOX/Cisplatin/5-FU), and DOX-induced cardiotoxic mouse model were leveraged to explore the cardioprotection of CIRBP during chemotherapy. We took advantage of AAV9 carrying CIRBP or shCIRBP expressive cassette under cTNT promoter to interfere with cardiac CIRBP expression. A conjoint analysis of transcriptomics and proteomics was performed within T0519 to identify the latent effector of CIRBP in regulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis. By contrast with the pan-opioid receptor Alvimopan (ALV), OGFR blocker Naltrexone (NTX) was introduced to disrupt CIRBP-OGFR signaling in an attempt to provide new insight in formulating efficacious cardioprotective scheme for tumor patients. Results: We discovered that CIRBP deficiency is involved in in-vivo and in-vitro cardiomyocyte apoptosis triggered by chemotherapeutic agents. Ectopic delivery of CIRBP in mouse myocardium significantly mitigates doxorubicin-induced cardiac apoptosis and malfunction. Opioid growth factor receptor (OGFR) was further highlighted as CIRBP downstream effector responsible for cardiomyocyte chemotherapeutical apoptosis. Mechanistically, CIRBP interacts with OGFR mRNA and represses OGFR expression by reducing mRNA stability. CIRBP-mediated cytoprotection against doxorubicin-induced apoptosis relies largely on the regulation of CIRBP on OGFR. Naltrexone, an antagonist targeting OGFR of potency as well as certain opioid receptors, successfully rescues CIRBP ablation-rendered susceptibility to cardiac apoptosis and dyshomeostasis when exposed to DOX; while another antagonist Alvimopan, merely acting on opioid receptors, does not. Conclusions: Taken together, our results demonstrate that CIRBP confers myocardium resistance to chemotherapy-induced cardiac apoptosis and dysfunction via dampening OGF/OGFR axis, shedding new light on the cardioprotection of tumor patients subjected to chemotherapy.
