RNA-seq and ChIRP-seq analysis performed on Charme muscle specific lnc-RNA

ABSTRACT: The main function of chromatin-associated long non coding RNAs (lncRNA) is to tether specific combinations of regulatory factors to target genomic sites. Here we show the characterization of a conserved lncRNA, Charme, that acts as an architectural scaffold to bring together distantly located genomic loci. The functional knock-down of Charme revealed a direct link between the formation of chromosomal loops and the down-regulation of genes therein contained, which are crucial for the correct control of muscle homeostasis. Notably, several Charme-target genes were previously linked to human cardiomyopathies and Charme deficiency in mice indeed resulted in a very strong cardiac phenotype. Altogether, these data disclose that the chromosomal architecture controlled by Charme is relevant for fine tuning the myogenic programme and for proper tissue homeostasis in vivo. Overall design: Gene expression profile upon Charme Knock-down obtained through an RNA-Seq experiment with two biological replicates in each condition. We silenced Charme expression using separately two different sets of gapmers (GAP-2 GAP-2/3) and both conditions were compared with control cells treated with GAP-scr. ChIRP-Seq analysis was performed to identify genomic binding sites of Charme. The long non coding RNA was pulled down using two different sets of probes (even and odd) and co-purified genomic DNA was sequenced and compared with input genomic DNA. LacZ DNA probes were used as negative controls.

Myogenesis is a highly regulated process that involves the conversion of progenitor cells into multinucleated myofibers. Besides proteins and miRNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to participate in myogenic regulatory circuitries. Here, we characterize a murine chromatin-associated muscle-specific lncRNA, <i>Charme</i>, which contributes to the robustness of the myogenic program <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> In myocytes, <i>Charme</i> depletion triggers the disassembly of a ...[more]

Project description:<h4>Background</h4>Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exhibit remarkable cell-type specificity and disease association. LncRNA's functional versatility includes epigenetic modification, nuclear domain organization, transcriptional control, regulation of RNA splicing and translation, and modulation of protein activity. However, most lncRNAs remain uncharacterized due to a shortage of predictive tools available to guide functional experiments.<h4>Results</h4>To address this gap for lymphoma-associated lncRNAs identified in our studies, we developed a new computational method, Predicting LncRNA Activity through Integrative Data-driven 'Omics and Heuristics (PLAIDOH), which has several unique features not found in other methods. PLAIDOH integrates transcriptome, subcellular localization, enhancer landscape, genome architecture, chromatin interaction, and RNA-binding (eCLIP) data and generates statistically defined output scores. PLAIDOH's approach identifies and ranks functional connections between individual lncRNA, coding gene, and protein pairs using enhancer, transcript cis-regulatory, and RNA-binding protein interactome scores that predict the relative likelihood of these different lncRNA functions. When applied to 'omics datasets that we collected from lymphoma patients, or to publicly available cancer (TCGA) or ENCODE datasets, PLAIDOH identified and prioritized well-known lncRNA-target gene regulatory pairs (e.g., HOTAIR and HOX genes, PVT1 and MYC), validated hits in multiple lncRNA-targeted CRISPR screens, and lncRNA-protein binding partners (e.g., NEAT1 and NONO). Importantly, PLAIDOH also identified novel putative functional interactions, including one lymphoma-associated lncRNA based on analysis of data from our human lymphoma study. We validated PLAIDOH's predictions for this lncRNA using knock-down and knock-out experiments in lymphoma cell models.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our study demonstrates that we have developed a new method for the prediction and ranking of functional connections between individual lncRNA, coding gene, and protein pairs, which were validated by genetic experiments and comparison to published CRISPR screens. PLAIDOH expedites validation and follow-on mechanistic studies of lncRNAs in any biological system. It is available at https://github.com/sarahpyfrom/PLAIDOH .
