Project description:Increasing studies show that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in various fundamental processes. Long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) showed differential expressions between young and old mouse brains in our previous RNA-Seq data, suggesting its potential role in senescence and brain aging. Examination using RT-qPCR revealed that GAS5 had a significantly higher expression level in old mouse brain hippocampus region than the young one. Cellular fractionation using hippocampus-derived HT22 cell line confirmed its nucleoplasm and cytoplasm subcellular localization. We then performed overexpression (OE) or knockdown (KD) of GAS5 in HT22 cell line and found that GAS5 inhibits cell cycle progression and promotes cell apoptosis. RNA-Seq analysis of GAS5-knockdown HT22 cell identified differential expressed genes related to cell proliferation (e.g., DNA replication and nucleosome assembly biological processes). RNA pull-down assay using mouse brain hippocampus tissues revealed that potential GAS5 interacting proteins can be enriched into several KEGG pathways and some of them are involved in senescence associated diseases such as Parkinson and Alzheimer's Disease. These results contribute to better understand the underlying functional network of GAS5 and its interacting proteins in senescence at brain tissue and brain-derived cell line levels. Our study may also provide reference for developing diagnostic and clinic biomarkers of GAS5 in senescence and brain aging.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are recently characterized players that are involved in the regulatory circuitry of self-renewal in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). However, the specific roles of lncRNAs in this circuitry are poorly understood. Here, we determined that growth-arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5), which is a known tumor suppressor and growth arrest gene, is abundantly expressed in the cytoplasm of hESCs and essential for hESC self-renewal. GAS5 depletion in hESCs significantly impaired their pluripotency and self-renewal ability, whereas GAS5 overexpression in hESCs accelerated the cell cycle, enhanced their colony formation ability and increased pluripotency marker expression. By RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, we determined that GAS5 activates NODAL-SMAD2/3 signaling by sustaining the expression of NODAL, which plays a key role in hESC self-renewal but not in somatic cell growth. Further studies indicated that GAS5 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to protect NODAL mRNA against degradation and that GAS5 transcription is directly controlled by the core pluripotency transcriptional factors (TFs). Taken together, we suggest that the core TFs, GAS5 and NODAL-SMAD2/3 form a feed-forward loop to maintain the hESC self-renewal process. These findings are specific to ESCs and did not occur in the somatic cell lines we tested; therefore, our findings also provide evidence that the functions of lncRNAs vary in different biological contexts. We analyzed long non-coding RNAs in two hESC cell lines (X-01 and H1), and found GAS5 is highly expressed and functional in maintaining hESC self-renewal. We generate stable overexpressed or knockdown hESC cell lines using lentiviral approach. We transfected cells initialy after passage, and lentiviruses are added with daily medium change for three days (at a final concentration of 10^5 IU/ml). Puromycin is added for selection and supplied with daily medium change. Stable cell lines are established after two passages and verified under fluorescence scope. Total RNAs and miRNAs are extracted separately of all three cell lines (LV-NC, LV-GAS5 and LV-shGAS5) and put to sequencing.

Project description:There is increasing evidence that the architecture of long non-coding RNAs – just like that of proteins – is hierarchically organized into independently folding sub-modules with distinct functions. Studies characterizing the cellular activities of such modules, however, are rare. The lncRNA growth arrest specific 5 (Gas5) is a key regulator of cell survival in response to stress and nutrient availability. We used SHAPE-MaP to probe the structure of Gas5 in vitro and in cellulo. The results show that Gas5 contains three separate structural modules including the previously predicted steroid receptor binding hairpin motif. Functional assays show that the newly identified modules act independently in leukemic T cells. The 5’ terminal module with low secondary structure content affects basal survival and slows the cell cycle, whereas the highly structured core module mediates the effects of mTOR inhibition on cell growth. Disruption of specific secondary structures within the modules abolish their function in cells. These results highlight the central role of Gas5 in regulating cell survival and reveals how a single lncRNA transcript utilizes a modular structure-function relationship to respond to a variety of cellular stresses under various cellular conditions.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of transcribed RNA molecules greater than 200 nucleotides long. Though do not encode proteins, they play functional roles in gene expression regulation. LncRNAs are notably abundant in the brain, however, their neural functions are largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that repeated short- and long-term cocaine administrations all decreased the expression of lncRNA Gas5 in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of adult male mice. To illustrate the functional role of Gas5, we performed viral mediated overexpression of Gas5 in the NAc and found decreased cocaine-induced conditioned place preference. Furthermore, Gas5 overexpression also led to decreased drug intake, lower motivation, repressed compulsivity to acquire cocaine, and faster extinction of drug during cocaine self-administration. Transcriptome profiling identified numerous Gas5 mediated gene expression changes that are enriched in relevant neural function categories. Interestingly, these Gas5 regulated gene expression changes significantly overlap with chronic cocaine induced transcriptome alterations, which suggests that Gas5 may serve as a main transcription regulator of cocaine response. Our study therefore displays a novel lncRNA based molecular mechanism of cocaine action.

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the most common and fatal cancer worldwide. There are two major types of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recently, gefitinib, a small molecule, which target tyrosine kinase, has been regarded as the first-line treatment in NSCLC patients. However, several patients have been observed tumor recurrence and eventually developed progressive outcomes after target therapy. Thus, an effective therapeutic approach need to be explored. Here, we found that ectopically expressed ATP synthase on plasma membrane exhibited gefitinib-resistance properties in lung cancer cell lines. Furthermore, we unraveled that citreoviridin, an ectopic ATP synthase inhibitor, suppressed the abilities of both proliferation and colony formation in lung cancer cell lines. To elucidate the comprehensive mechanism regulated by citreoviridin, we performed microarray analysis. The results indicated that not only mRNAs but also long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in citreoviridin-treated cell death. One of the well-known lncRNAs, growth arrest-specific transcript (GAS5), was robustly upregulated after citreoviridin treatment. In order to investigate the upstream modulator of GAS5, we utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and revealed that E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) could bind to the promoter of GAS5. Consistently, both microarray and qPCR data showed the expression level of E2F1 was negatively correlated to GAS5 after citreoviridin treatment. The evidence suggests that E2F1 might be a potential repressor of GAS5. Furthermore, combining microarray and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis as well as qPCR demonstrated that p53 pathway was activated. To further realize the GAS5-p53 regulating network, RNA-protein pull-down assay followed by LC-MS/MS will be utilized to dissect the GAS5-interacting proteomic profiling.From the results, we identified 107 GAS5-interacting proteins in common from A549 and H1975 cell lines. Our proteomics experiments identified topoisomerase 2-alpha (TOP2A) as the key protein involved in the citreoviridin-regulated gefitinib-resistance pathway, therefore, we picked out TOP2A for further study. Additionally, we further validated the interaction between TOP2A and GAS5 by western blot and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP). Taken together, this study suggests targeting E2F1/GAS5/p53 axis is a potential therapeutic strategy for gefitinib-resistant lung cancer.

Project description:Small-scale bioreactors used in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line development allow transcriptomic studies on multiple cell lines. Here we define the CHO cell long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcriptome from cells grown in controlled miniature bioreactors under fed-batch conditions using RNA-Seq to identify lncRNAs and how the expression of these changes throughout growth and between IgG producers. We identify lncRNAs associated with productivity and growth characteristics, finding that Adapt15, linked to ER stress, GAS5, linked to mTOR signalling/growth arrest, and PVT1, linked to Myc expression, are differentially regulated during fed-batch culture and whose expression relates to productivity and growth. Changes in (non)-coding RNA expression between the seed train and the equivalent day of fed-batch culture are also reported, showing large differences in gene expression between these, and compared with existing datasets. Collectively, we present a comprehensive lncRNA CHO cell profiling and identify targets for engineering growth and productivity characteristics of CHO cells.
