AGO1x stop codon readthrough isoform

ABSTRACT: Translational readthrough (TR), the elongation of the polypeptide chain by the ribosome beyond the stop codon, was initially observed for viral RNA and more recently reported for yeast and animal transcripts. TR modulates the protein output and diversifies the proteome 1–5. Here, we report that the expression of a TR isoform of Argonaute 1 (AGO1x) is strongly correlated with the proliferative potential of human breast tumors. In contrast to the canonical AGO1 isoform, AGO1x localizes to the nucleus of human cells. Loss of AGO1x impairs the growth of rapidly dividing cells and leads to accumulation of double stranded RNAs with consequent induction of the interferon response and apoptosis. Our data thus uncover a novel function for a mammalian member of the Argonaute protein family, beyond the miRNA effector pathway. As the specific targeting of the AGO1x strongly impacts the proliferation of cancer cells, our study provides a new approach to interfering with tumor growth.

Project description:GOAL: Identification of genes and/or pathways involved in the pathogenesis of animal models of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Total RNA samples were extracted from synovial fibroblast ex vivo cultures or whole joints (J), isolated from arthritic mice (197, DARE) and their corresponding normal (F1, wt) littermates. Fluorescent-labeled cRNA probes were utilized to hybridize (in duplicates for 197, indicated by "new") the Affymetrix Mu11K oligonucleotide DNA chipset (A+B). In detail the samples are:<br> <table> <tr> <td> <u>Animal model</u> </td> <td> <u>Sample source</u> </td> <td> <u>Sample name</u> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> Tg197 ex-vivo cultured synoviocyte populations </td> <td> 197 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> Tg197 ex-vivo cultured synoviocyte populations </td> <td> 197new </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> wt ex-vivo cultured synoviocyte populations </td> <td> F1 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> wt ex-vivo cultured synoviocyte populations </td> <td> F1new </td> </tr> <tr> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> Tg197 whole joints </td> <td> 197J </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> Tg197 whole joints </td> <td> 197Jnew </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> wt whole joints </td> <td> F1J </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tg197 </td> <td> wt whole joints </td> <td> F1Jnew </td> </tr> <tr> </tr> <tr> <td> DARE </td> <td> DARE ex-vivo cultured synoviocyte populations </td> <td> DARE </td> </tr> <tr> <td> DARE </td> <td> wt ex-vivo cultured synoviocyte populations </td> <td> wt </td> </tr> <tr> <td> DARE </td> <td> DARE whole joints </td> <td> DAREJ </td> </tr> <tr> <td> DARE </td> <td> wt whole joints </td> <td> wtJ </td> </tr> </table> <br> Submitted files carry the extension A or B, corresponding to the subArrays of chipset Mu11K. Arthritic samples were always compared with the corresponding wt sample and not to a common reference chip.

Project description:The pervasive expression of circular RNA from protein coding loci is a recently discovered feature of many eukaryotic gene expression programs. Computational methods to discover and quantify circular RNA are essential to the study of the mechanisms of circular RNA biogenesis and potential functional roles they may play. In this paper, we present a new statistical algorithm that increases the sensitivity and specificity of circular RNA detection.by discovering and quantifying circular and linear RNA splicing events at both annotated exon boundaries and in un-annotated regions of the genome Unlike previous approaches which rely on heuristics like read count and homology between exons predicted to be circularized to determine confidence in prediction of circular RNA expression, our algorithm is a statistical approach. We have used this algorithm to discover general induction of circular RNAs in many tissues during human fetal development. We find that some regions of the brain show marked enrichment for genes where circular RNA is the dominant isoform. Beyond this global trend, specific circular RNAs are tissue specifically induced during fetal development, including a circular isoform of NCX1 in the developing fetal heart that, by 20 weeks, is more highly expressed than the linear isoform as well as beta-actin. In addition, while the vast majority of circular RNA production occurs at canonical U2 (major spliceosome) splice sites, we find the first examples of developmentally induced circular RNAs processed by the U12 (minor) spliceosome, and an enriched propensity of U12 donors to splice into circular RNA at un-annotated, rather than annotated, exons. Together, our algorithm and its results suggest a potentially significant role for circular RNA in human development. 35 human fetal samples from 6 tissues (3 - 7 replicates per tissue) collected between 10 and 20 weeks gestational time were sequenced using Illumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Gold sample prep kit.

Project description:Premature termination codons (PTC) cause over 10% of genetic disease cases. Some aminoglycosides that bind to the ribosome decoding centre can induce PTC readthrough and restore low levels of full-length functional proteins. However, concomitant inhibition of protein synthesis limits the extent of PTC readthrough that can be achieved by aminoglycosides like G418. Using a cell-based screen, we identified a small molecule, the phenylpyrazoleanilide Y-320, that potently enhances TP53, DMD and COL17A1 PTC readthrough by G418. Unexpectedly, Y-320 increased cellular protein levels and protein synthesis, measured by SYPRO Ruby protein staining and puromycin labelling, as well as ribosome biogenesis measured using antibodies to rRNA and ribosomal protein S6. Y-320 did not increase the rate of translation elongation and it exerted its effects independently of mTOR signaling. At the single cell level, exposure to Y-320 and G418 increased ribosome content and protein synthesis which correlated strongly with PTC readthrough. As a single agent, Y-320 did not affect translation fidelity measured using a luciferase reporter gene but it enhanced misincorporation by G418. RNA-seq data showed that Y-320 upregulated the expression of CXC chemokines CXCL10, CXCL8, CXCL2, CXCL11, CXCL3, CXCL1 and CXCL16. Several of these chemokines exert their cellular effects through the receptor CXCR2 and the CXCR2 antagonist SB225002 reduced cellular protein levels and PTC readthrough in cells exposed to Y-320 and G418. These data show that the self-limiting nature of PTC readthrough by G418 can be compensated by Y-320, a potent enhancer of PTC readthrough that increases ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis. They also support a model whereby increased PTC readthrough is enabled by increased protein synthesis mediated by an autocrine chemokine signaling pathway. The findings also raise the possibility that inflammatory processes affect cellular propensity to readthrough agents and that immunomodulatory drugs like Y-320 might find application in PTC readthrough therapy.
