Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 18-24 nucleotide autonomous regulatory RNA molecules found in all eukaryotes. They are involved in the regulation of a multitude of genetic and biological pathways through post transcriptional gene silencing and/or translational repression. Previous data has suggested a slow evolutionary rate for the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) over the past several million years when compared to its closest extant relatives, the birds. Understanding genome regulation, adaptive capabilities and physiological features in the saltwater crocodile in the context of relatively slow genomic change thus holds significant potential for the investigation of genomics, evolution and adaptive studies. Utilizing eleven different tissue types and sixteen small RNA libraries, we report a catalog of 644 miRNAs in the saltwater crocodile with > 78% of miRNAs being potentially novel to crocodilians. We also predicted and identified targets for the miRNAs as well as analyzed the relationship of the miRNA repertoire to transposable elements (TEs) in the saltwater crocodile that showed an increased association of DNA transposons with miRNA biogenesis when compared to retrotransposons. Phylogenetic analysis of C. porosus miRNA expectedly revealed highest number of miRNAs in sister crocodilian clades of the American Alligator and the Indian Gharial. This work reports the first comprehensive analysis of miRNAs in Crocodylus porosus for and addresses the potential impacts of miRNAs in regulating the genome in the saltwater crocodile as well as supporting the role of TEs as a source for miRNAs, adding to the increasing evidence that TEs play a significant role in the evolution of gene regulation.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder for which a definitive cure is still missing. This is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory milieu in the colonic tract where a composite set of immune and non-immune cells orchestrate its pathogenesis. Over the last years, a growing body of evidence has been pinpointing gut virome dysbiosis as underlying its progression. Nonetheless, its role during the early phases of chronic inflammation is far from being fully defined. Here we show the gut virome-associated Hepatitis B virus protein X, most likely acquired after an event of zoonotic spillover, to be associated with the early stages of ulcerative colitis and to induce colonic inflammation in mice. It acts as a transcriptional regulator in epithelial cells, provoking barrier leakage and altering mucosal immunity at the level of both innate and adaptive immunity. This study paves the way to the comprehension of the aetiopathogenesis of intestinal inflammation and encourages further investigations of the virome as a trigger also in other scenarios. Moreover, it provides a brand-new standpoint that looks at the virome as a target for tailored treatments, blocking the early phases of chronic inflammation and possibly leading to better disease management.
