Project description:Uridylation of diverse RNA species represents an emerging theme in post-transcriptional gene regulation. In the microRNA pathway, such modifications regulate small RNA biogenesis and stability in plants, worms and mammals. Here, we report the first uridylyltransferase that acts on small RNAs in Drosophila, which we refer to as Tailor. Tailor is the source for the majority of 3´ terminal uridine-modifications in small RNAs and predominantly targets precursor-miRNAs. Uridylation modulates the characteristic two-nucleotide 3´ overhangs of miRNA hairpins, which regulates pre-miRNA processing by Dicer-1. Furthermore, Tailor preferentially uridylates mirtron hairpins, thereby impeding the production of non-canonical microRNAs. Mirtron-selectivity is explained by unique primary sequence specificity of Tailor, selecting RNA substrates ending with a 3´ guanosine, a feature not previously observed for terminal uridylyltransferases. In contrast to mirtrons, conserved Drosophila pre-miRNAs are significantly depleted in 3´ guanosine, thereby escaping regulatory uridylation.Our data support the hypothesis that evolutionary adaptation to pre-miRNA uridylation shapes the nucleotide composition of pre-miRNA 3´ ends and may serve as a barrier for the de novo creation of miRNAs in Drosophila.

Project description:Chemotherapy resistance adversely impacts the treatment of some individuals with esophageal cancer. Identifying chemotherapy resistance might help tailor clinical treatments. In this study the impact of microRNAs on chemotherapy resistance in esophageal cancer was investigated. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of microRNA expression underlying chemotherapy resistance and identified distinct classes of up-regulated microRNAs in generated chemotherapy resistant cell lines.

Project description:Individuals who present with premalignant endobronchial lesions are considered at high risk of lung cancer. Nonetheless, premalignant lesions behave erratically and only a minority progresses towards lung cancer. Therefore, biomarkers need to be discovered that can aid in assessing an individual’s risk for subsequent cancer to better tailor treatment choices and avoid unnecessary follow-up procedures. We recently proposed a classifier of DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) at 3p26.3-p11.1, 3q26.2-29, and 6p25.3-24.3 as risk predictor for endobronchial cancer. The current study was set out to validate the classifier among an independent series of premalignant endobronchial lesions with various histological grades. A series of 36 endobronchial premalignant lesions (8 squamous metaplasia, and 28 various grades of dysplasia) identified during autofluorescence bronchoscopy of 12 case subjects who had carcinoma in situ or carcinoma (≥CIS) during follow-up bronchoscopy at the initial site and 24 control subjects who remained cancer-free, was subjected to array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (arrayCGH). DNA copy number profiles were related to lesion outcome. Prediction accuracy of the previously defined molecular classifier to predict endobronchial cancer in this series was determined. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis revealed a significant association between cluster assignment and lesion outcome (p< 0.001), independent of histological grade, with quiescent profiles in controls (24/24) and aberrant profiles in the majority of cases (9/12). Our pre-defined classifier demonstrated 92% accuracy for predicting cancer outcome in the current sample series. Our validated classifier holds great promise for stratification of patients with premalignant endobronchial lesions for risk of subsequent cancer.
