Project description:ABSTRACT 20-30% of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) develop distant metastasis or recurrence leading to poor survival, of which the underlying key molecular events have yet to be addressed. Here we profiled alternative splicing events in 85 NPC samples using transcriptome analysis and revealed that the long isoform of GOLIM4 (-L) with exon-7 was highly expressed in NPC and associated with poor prognosis. Lines of evidence demonstrated the pro-tumorigenic function of GOLIM4-L in NPC cells. We further revealed that RBFOX2 binds to a GGAA motif in exon-7 and promotes its inclusion forming GOLIM4-L. RBFOX2 knockdown suppressed the tumorigenesis of NPC cells, phenocopying GOLIM4-L knockdown, which was significantly rescued by GOLIM4-L overexpression. Moreover, high expression of RBFOX2 was correlated with the exon-7 inclusion of GOLIM4 in NPC biopsies and associated with worse prognosis. Furthermore, we observed that RBFOX2 and GOLIM4 could influence vesicle-mediated transport through maintaining the organization of Golgi apparatus. Finally, we revealed that RAB26 interacted with GOLIM4 and mediated its tumorigenic potentials in NPC cells. Taken together, our findings provide insights into how alternative splicing contributes to NPC development, by highlighting a functional link between GOLIM4-L and its splicing regulator RBFOX2 activating vesicle-mediated transport involving RAB26.

Project description:Amniotic fluid (AF) volume (AFV) is determined primarily by the rate of intramembranous (IM) transport of AF across the amnion. Intramembranous transport is characterized as vesicular endocytotic and transcytotic processes regulated by fetal urine-derived stimulators and AF inhibitors. Our objectives were to utilize a large-scale multiomics approach to decipher the vesicular transport pathways in the amnion and to identify potential transport regulators in AF and fetal urine. We utilized fetal sheep to experimentally induce alterations in IM transport rate and analyze the expression profiles of transcripts and proteins in amnion, AF and fetal urine. Four experimental groups were studied: control (C), urine drainage with reduced IM transport rate and AFV (UD), urine drainage and fluid replacement with decreased IM transport rate but increased AFV (UDR), and intra-amniotic fluid infusion with augmented IM transport rate and AFV (IA). Amnion and fluid samples were subjected to transcriptomics (RNA-Seq) and proteomics studies followed by bioinformatics analyses using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software. The analyses revealed 9 functional transport pathways and a panel of differentially expressed transcripts and proteins that are known mediators of vesicular transport and energy metabolism. During UD, expressions of endocytosis and trafficking mediators were reduced as compared to controls. Under UDR, expressions of energy metabolism activators increased while trafficking mediators decreased. During IA, expressions of vesicular uptake and transcellular trafficking regulators were enhanced. Co-expression of the motor protein, cytoplasmic dynein light chain-1, in both AF and fetal urine suggest that this molecule may function as a urine-derived stimulator of IM transport.

Project description:Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a common, disabling mental illness with high heritability but complex, poorly understood genetic etiology. As the first phase of a genomic convergence analysis of SCZ, we generated 16.7 billion nucleotides of short read, shotgun sequences of cDNA from post-mortem cerebellar cortices of 14 patients and six matched controls. A rigorous analysis pipeline was developed for analysis of digital gene expression studies. Sequences aligned to approximately 33,200 transcripts in each sample, with average coverage of 450 reads per gene. Following adjustments for confounding clinical, sample and experimental sources of variation, 215 genes differed significantly in expression between cases and controls. Golgi apparatus, vesicular transport, membrane association, Zinc binding and regulation of transcription were over-represented among differentially expressed genes. Twenty three genes with altered expression and involvement in presynaptic vesicular transport, Golgi function and GABAergic neurotransmission define a unifying molecular hypothesis for dysfunction in cerebellar cortex in SCZ.

Project description:We generated a global analysis of Rbfox2 splicing regulation combined with a highly specific, single nucleotide-resolution Rbfox2 RNA binding map. We found that Rbfox2 regulates the splicing and expression of many previously unknown targets, and particularly a number of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), by modulating alternative splicing coupled-NMD. Based on our observations of RBP-Rbfox2 co-regulation with a polarity predicted by Rbfox2 binding, we propose a model whereby Rbfox2 tunes autoregulatory splicing events to control RBP expression levels and in turn alter their respective splicing networks. iCLIP for epitope-tagged Rbfox2 and control untagged Rbfox2; RNAseq of control and Rbfox2 knockdown in mouse embryonic stem cells

Twenty three genes with altered expression and involvement in presynaptic vesicular transport, Golgi function and GABAergic neurotransmission define a unifying molecular hypothesis for dysfunction in cerebellar cortex in SCZ. Experiment Overall Design: 16.7 billion nucleotides of shotgun, full length cDNA sequence data were generated using Illumina Genome Analyzer platforms with sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) chemistry from 20 mRNA samples (Lister et al., 2008; Morin et al., 2008)(Mortazvi et al., 2008). mRNA samples were isolated post-mortem from the lateral hemispheres of the cerebellar cortices of 14 patients with SCZ and 6 control individuals (Paz et al., 2006; Bullock et al., In Press)(Table 1). Unrelated subjects were chosen to facilitate sampling of genetic heterogeneity (Freimer and Sabatti, 2004; McClellan et al., 2007). Cases and controls were approximately matched for age (cases, 45.2 + 11.8 years; controls 41.3 + 9.2 years), sex (all male), race, post-mortem interval (cases, 12.2 + 5.0 hours; controls 17.7 + 3.3 hours), cause of death, autopsy brain pH (cases, 6.54 + 0.19; controls 6.46 + 0.10) and RNA integrity number (cases, 8.06 + 0.53; controls, 7.87 + 0.41) (Table 1). 12.5 – 38.7 million, high quality sequences of length 32 – 36 bp were generated per sample (Table 2). Sequences were aligned to the human genome and RefSeq transcript databases using the algorithm GMAP, which allowed < 2 (< 6%) mismatches (Wu and Watanabe, 2005). There was little intra-sample variability in the number of sequences aligned to each locus from run-to-run or instrument-to-instrument (Fig. 1A; all source coefficient of variation 3.4%). 43.5 + 6.7% of sequences aligned to a transcript and 69.4 + 9.6% to the genome, evidence that annotation of mRNA isoforms in Homo sapiens is incomplete (Birney et al., 2007) (Table 2). 91% of alignments were unique (Table 2). Reads aligning to more than one location contained repetitive, paralogous, polymorphic or low complexity sequences and primarily mapped to untranslated regions or highly polymorphic gene families, such as major histocompatibility genes (Sugarbaker et al., 2008). Unmapped sequences did not align to mitochondrial or 1879 viral genomes, offering negative evidence of chronic viral etiology for SCZ in these patients.

Project description:Abnormal distribution of cellular cholesterol is associated with numerous diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Regulated transport of cholesterol is critical for maintaining its proper distribution in the cell, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that lipid transfer proteins, namely ORP9, OSBP, and GRAMD1s/Asters (GRAMD1a/GRAMD1b/GRAMD1c), control non-vesicular cholesterol transport at points of contact between the ER and the trans-Golgi network (TGN), thereby maintaining cellular cholesterol distribution. ORP9 localizes to the TGN via interaction between its tandem α-helices and ORP10/ORP11. ORP9 extracts PI4P from the TGN to prevent its overaccumulation and suppresses OSBP-mediated PI4P-driven cholesterol transport to the Golgi. By contrast, GRAMD1s transport excess cholesterol from the Golgi to the ER, thereby preventing its build-up. Cells lacking ORP9 exhibit accumulation of cholesterol at the Golgi, which is further enhanced by additional depletion of GRAMD1s with major accumulation in the plasma membrane. This is accompanied by chronic activation of the SREBP-2 signalling pathway. Our findings reveal the importance of regulated lipid transport at ER-Golgi contacts for maintaining cellular cholesterol distribution and homeostasis.
