Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an integral part of gene regulation
at the post-transcriptional level. Recently, it has been shown
that pairs of miRNAs can repress the translation of a target
mRNA in a cooperative manner, which leads to an enhanced
effectiveness and specificity in target repression. However, it
remains unclear which miRNA pairs can synergize and which genes
are target of cooperative miRNA regulation. In this paper, we
present a computational workflow for the prediction and
analysis of cooperating miRNAs and their mutual target genes,
which we refer to as RNA triplexes. The workflow integrates
methods of miRNA target prediction; triplex structure analysis;
molecular dynamics simulations and mathematical modeling for a
reliable prediction of functional RNA triplexes and target
repression efficiency. In a case study we analyzed the human
genome and identified several thousand targets of cooperative
gene regulation. Our results suggest that miRNA cooperativity
is a frequent mechanism for an enhanced target repression by
pairs of miRNAs facilitating distinctive and fine-tuned target
gene expression patterns. Human RNA triplexes predicted and
characterized in this study are organized in a web resource at
www.sbi.uni-rostock.de/triplexrna/.

Project description:DEAD-box RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a significant role in RNA metabolism to achieve cellular homeostasis, including miRNA biogenesis and transcription. Hypoxia induces stemness cell-like characteristics in cancer cells and promotes malignant progression. Despite the fact that hypoxia can induce the changes in protein and RNA modification, thereby regulating downstream gene expressions, how modifications at different molecular layers interplay with each other are poorly understood. Here we show that hypoxia induces HectH9-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination of the DEAD-box protein DDX17 as well as reduces N6-methyladenosine (m6A) marks in pri-miRNAs. While m6A potentiates DDX17 binding to pri-miRNAs, decreased m6A modifications of pri-miRNAs and increased polyubiquitination of DDX17 under hypoxia lead to decreased DDX17 binding to pri-miRNAs binding. These events enhance the association of DDX17 with the ubiquitin receptor p300 and lead to a decrease in miRNA biogenesis, especially for miRNAs regulating stemness and stemness-related genes. In addition, polyubiquitinated DDX17 together with p300 upregulates H3K56Ac levels on the stemness and stemness-related genes, resulting in enhancement of tumor initiating ability. Post-transcriptionally, decreased miRNA production, including those targeting stemness genes or stemness-related genes, also facilitates tumor initiation. Together, hypoxia triggers DDX17 poly-ubiquitination, which orchestrates dual mechanisms to increase tumor initiating ability and promote tumor progression.

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.

Project description:In flies, microRNAs (miRNAs) are synthesized as a short imperfect duplex, where the miRNA is paired to another small RNA, dubbed the "miRNA*". Usually, miRNA*s are degraded in the last steps of miRNA maturation, but we found evidence that some of them can be loaded on the Ago2 protein.

Project description:Currently, micro RNAs (miRNAs) constitute a promising models for cell-to-cell communication since they are transferred between cells to execute essential roles in many processes. Their structure and size, in addition to various transport mechanisms, allow them to remain stable within various biological fluids, surviving in extremely adverse conditions, including low pH, boiling, and freezing. The presence of miRNAs in reproductive fluids, such as follicular, uterine and seminal fluid, indicate potential roles in the reproductive system. These extracellular miRNAs can be transported by lipoproteins (both HDL and LDL) or other proteins, including Argonaute2 (AGO2) and nucleophosmin1 (NPM1). Another transport system is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as apoptotic bodies, microvesicles (MVs) and/or exosome-like vesicles. EVs protect miRNAs from degradation and contribute to their stability within biological fluids. Furthermore, EVs can transport a wide range of components packaged in a selective way. For instance, Squadrito et al. (2014), used macrophages and endothelial cells to demonstrate that the sorting of miRNAs into EVs for heterotrophic cell communication is altered by both, the presence of target transcripts and the self-presence of the respectively miRNA. In addition, the signature of miRNAs found in the exosomes significantly differed for those detected in the parent cells. To date, mechanisms controlling the specific loading of miRNAs into exosomes remain unclear. Indeed, several mechanisms may govern exosome sorting of specific subsets of miRNAs. MiRNA sorting appears to be influenced by different pathways and molecules in different cell types and tissues, and miRNAs contain well defined motifs (i.e., EXOmotifs), that direct the miRNA allocation into exosomes before delivery into recipient cells. A recent study showed that this RNA sequence can be recognized by the sumoylated form of the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (hnRNPA2B1). Moreover, a terminal 30 nucleotide addition in miRNAs affects their selective sorting in B cells. Another hypothesis suggests that RNAs are selectively sorted depending on the differential affinity of RNA motifs towards the raft-like region of the cytoplasmic surface of microvesicular body (MVB) limiting membranes. Current data indicate that cells can communicate with each other through the transfer of miRNA-loaded exosomes. For example, monocyte-derived exosomes deliver miR-150 to endothelial cells and enhance endothelial cell migration by reducing c-myb expression. The miRNA content of exosomes plays a critical role in such cell-to-cell communication and determines the fate of recipient cells. Thus, exosomes derived from the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells of myeloma patients promote tumor growth depending on the content of miR-15a in exosomes. Our group has described a novel cell-to-cell communication mechanism involving the delivery of endometrial miRNAs from the maternal endometrium to the trophectoderm cells of preimplantation embryos. Specifically, in B6C3 derived mouse embryos, we found EV-associated and free miR-30d to cause overexpression of genes involved in embryonic adhesion processes, including Itb3, Itga7 and Cdh5. Furthermore, supplementing murine embryos with miR-30d significantly improved embryo adhesion, suggesting that external miRNAs may have a functional role as transcriptomic modifiers of preimplantation embryos. Based on profiling of miRNAs in endometrial fluid, maternally-derived miRNAs are present within EVs in the uterine microenvironment. The internalization of maternally-derived exosomes has been visualized, but the mechanism by which miR-30d becomes incorporated into exosomes remains unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanism of hsa-miR-30d transfer from human endometrial epithelial cells (hEECs) to the interior of exosomes and eventually to early-stage blastocysts, using a mir-30d knockout murine mode.

Project description:To determine the effect of RNA degradation on miRNA expression profiling. To mimic total RNA degradation in snap-frozen livers and duodenums from mice (wild type female, C57/Bl6) tissues were stored in a -80°C freezer and then transferred to dry ice. Each frozen tissue was sliced into five identical pieces which then were transferred into eppendorf tubes. At time point zero (T0), all samples were placed on ice and total RNA was extracted immediately from (T0) and at later time points [30 min (T30), 60 min (T60), 120 min (T120) and 240 min (T240)]. RNA integrities were assessed using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 which calculates RIN values of assayed RNAs. We found that at T0, the RNA integrity for both liver and duodenum was above 7, indicating good quality total RNA. However, 30 min on ice was sufficient to reduce RNA integrity, indicated by the decrease in RINs. These findings indicate that RNA degradation can take place in defrosted tissue at low temperature (i.e. on ice). For comparison, we assessed the extent to which RNA integrity is preserved in freshly harvested tissues when tissue processing is delayed. Liver and duodenum samples were collected from mice and either processed immediately or maintained on ice, as described above. Bioanalyzer electropherograms of the liver samples did not indicate any significant total RNA degradation even when samples remained on ice for up to 4 hrs. By contrast, duodenal samples (which are rich in RNases) do show high susceptibility to degradation similar to the snap-frozen defrosted material. These findings suggest that tissues such as duodenum or pancreas should either be processed immediately or snap-frozen and processed individually. To assess to which extent total RNA degradation affects miRNA expression profiles, we hybridized to the miCHIP microarray total RNAs extracted from freshly harvested livers and duodenums liver and from snap frozen livers and duodenums. Hierarchical clustering (HCL), by Pearson correlation, was used to cluster samples based on their miRNA expression profiles. Our analysis shows that miRNAs extracted from freshly harvested liver is less degraded (matrix plot analyses). Consistent with high level of RNases present in duodenum, miRNAs from freshly harvested duodenum are extensively degraded. Based on these data, we conclude that samples with low RIN values (less than 7) do not merit analysis on miRNA arrays.

Project description:A battery of spliceosome-associated proteins has been identified in microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The intron lariat spliceosome (ILS) complex is highly conserved among eukaryotes and its disassembly marks the end of a canonical splicing cycle. In this study, we show that two conserved disassembly factors of the ILS complex, ILP1 and NTR1, positively regulate microRNA biogenesis through facilitating transcriptional elongation in Arabidopsis. ILP1 and NTR1 form a stable complex and co-regulate alternative splicing of more than a hundred genes across the genome including the core circadian gene LHY and some pri-miRNAs. Dysfunction in either ILP1 or NTR1 result in reduced RNA polymerase II occupancy at elongated regions of MIR chromatins, without affecting MIR promoter activity, pri-miRNA decay and DCL1 processing. Our results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of spliceosomal machineries in non-coding RNA regulation.

Project description:During microRNA-biogenesis, stem-loop structured precursors are processed in two endonucleolytic steps, giving rise to mature microRNAs (miRNAs). This process is not only regulated at the level of transcription but also posttranscriptionally by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Here we have used a proteomics-based pull-down approach to map and characterize the interactome of 72 pre-miRNAs in eleven cell lines. We identify over 150 RBPs that interact specifically with distinct pre-miRNAs. To demonstrate their functional relevance, we used RNAi knockdown and CRISPR/Cas-mediated knockout experiments and analyzed changes in miRNA levels. Indeed, a large number of the investigated candidates have effects on miRNA-processing under our experimental conditions, including several C3H-zinc-finger proteins. Ultimately, we show that TRIM71/Lin41 is a potent regulator of miR-29a processing and its inactivation directly affects miR-29a targets. In summary, we provide an extended database of RBPs that interact with pre-miRNAs in different cell types helping to elucidate posttranscriptional regulation of miRNA biogenesis on a global scale.

Project description:miRNAs are short regulatory single stranded RNA sequences that upon complementary binding to mRNAs lead to the inhibition or degradation of their targets. This regulatory mechanisms has been shown to play crucial roles throughout the whole life cycle of animals and plants as well as in disease. While a plethora of methods exist to predict targets of miRNA, which suggest that up to 80% of the genome is miRNA regulated, it has recently been reported that many of these predictions are false positives, cell type specific or represent non-functional binding. In order to identify the subset of real functional miRNAs and their targets, we established miRNA pathway mutants in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC), allowing the dissection of canonical and non-canonical functions of pathway members. Additional data integration of downstream regulatory layers (CLIP-seq, ribosome profiling and MS) enabled us to follow and track down real functional miRNA-gene interactions, which reduced the miRNA genome regulation to approximately 1%.

Project description:Chinese cedar (<i>Cryptomeria fortunei</i>) is a tree species with important ornamental, medicinal, and economic value. Terpenoids extracted from the essential oil of <i>C. fortunei</i> needles have been considered valuable ingredients in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, the possible gene regulation mechanisms that limit terpenoid biosynthesis in this genus are poorly understood. Here, we adopted integrated metabolome analysis, transcriptome, small-RNA (sRNA), and degradome sequencing to analyze the differences in terpenoid regulatory mechanisms in two different overwintering <i>C. fortunei</i> phenotypes (wild-type and an evergreen mutant). A total of 1447/6219 differentially synthesized metabolites (DSMs)/unigenes (DEGs) were detected through metabolome/transcriptome analyses, and these DSMs/DEGs were significantly enriched in flavonoid and diterpenoid biosynthesis pathways. In <i>C. fortunei</i> needles, 587 microRNAs (miRNAs), including 67 differentially expressed miRNAs (DERs), were detected. Among them, 8346 targets of 571 miRNAs were predicted using degradome data, and a 72-miRNA-target regulatory network involved in the metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides was constructed. Forty-one targets were further confirmed to be involved in terpenoid backbone and diterpenoid biosynthesis, and target analyses revealed that two miRNAs (i.e., aly-miR168a-5p and aof-miR396a) may be related to the different phenotypes and to differential regulation of diterpenoid biosynthesis. Overall, these results reveal that <i>C. fortunei</i> plants with the evergreen mutation maintain high terpenoid levels in winter through miRNA-target regulation, which provides a valuable resource for essential oil-related bioengineering research.
