Small open reading frame-encoded protein production is modulated by nonsense-mediated decay in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Peptides from low abundance non-canonical proteins encoded by the human genome are presented by the major histocompatibility complex and serve as potential neoantigens or therapeutic targets. However, their prevalence in the genome is unclear. We identified several non-canonical proteins produced by breast cancer cell lines using proteogenomics approach. Although these proteins were detectable, the transcripts and corresponding proteins showed low abundance and inconsistent expression pattern. Targeting the nonsense-mediated decay pathway by UPF1-knockdown increased the levels of both non-coding transcripts and non-canonical proteins, suggesting they are subjected to degradation by conserved quality control mechanisms in cells. We also observed increased expression of unannotated transcripts and human leukocyte antigen transcripts associated with antigen presentation. These observations suggest that UPF1 has a role in regulating or suppressing transcriptional noise and that modulating the expression level of UPF1 could expand the reservoir of neoantigens and increase neoantigen presentation, potentially augmenting immunotherapeutic responses in cancers.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) and endogenous siRNA (endo-siRNA) are two essential classes of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) in eukaryotic organisms. The class of miRNA is diverse and there exist noncanonical miRNAs that bypass the canonical miRNA biogenesis pathway. In order to identify noncanonical miRNAs and endo-siRNAs responding to virus infection and study their potential function, we sequenced small-RNA species from cells lytically infected with murine gammaherpesvirus 68. In addition to 3 novel canonical miRNAs in mouse, two antisense miRNAs in virus and 25 novel noncanonical miRNAs, including miRNAs derived from tRNAs, snoRNAs and introns, in the host were identified. These noncanonical miRNAs exhibited features distinct from canonical miRNAs in the lengths and structures of miRNA hairpins as well as base pairings and first nucleotide preference. Many of the novel miRNAs are conserved in mammals. In addition to several known murine endo-siRNAs detected by the sequencing profiling, a novel locus in the mouse genome was identified to give rise to endo-siRNAs. This novel endo-siRNA locus is comprised of two tandem inverted B4 short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). Unexpectedly, the SINE-derived endo-siRNAs were found in a variety of sequencing data as well as virus-infected cells. Moreover, a murine miRNA was up-regulated more than 35 fold in infected than in mock-treated cells. The putative target genes of the viral and the up-regulated murine miRNAs were potentially involved in processes of gene transcription and protein phosphorylation and localized to membranes, suggesting their role in manipulating the host basal immune system during lytic infection. Our results extended the number of noncanonical miRNAs in mammals and shed new lights on their potential functions of lytic infection of MHV68. Mouse NIH 3T12 cells infectd with MHV68 (3 samples) and mock-treated (2 samples) were examined. Noncanonical microRNAs and endogenous siRNAs discovery in lytic infection of murine gammaherpesvirus MHV68 (NC_001826.2).
