Project description:To assess the global impact of TGF-beta on alternative splicing, we conducted RNA-seq of total RNAs isolated from various lines of HeLa cells that were generated for this study and treated without or with TGF-beta and EGF. Using rMAT tool from the RNA-Seq data and annotation of transcripts in GTF format, we identified differential alternative splicing events between untreated and treated cell lines. Our study shows that the TGF-beta-mediated alternative splicing affects the protein products of a large number of genes enriched in pathways critical for EMT, cykeskeleton organization, and adherens junction signaling. PCBP1 was required for the most, if not all, alternative splicing events detected. SRA accession number: SRP061634, BioProject ID PRJNA290799. RNAs from Hela cells were treated with TGF-β and EGF, in triplicates and sequenced on HiSeq2000 with 2 samples pooled into one lane with Illumina TruSeq v3 chemistry.

Project description:Alternative RNA splicing analysis in Hep3B cell cultured under 21% (N1,3,5) or 1.2% (H2,4,6) oxygen Hypoxia is a common characteristic of many solid tumors. The hypoxic microenvironment stabilizes hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1? (HIF1?) and 2? (HIF2?) to activate gene transcription, which promotes tumor cell survival. 95% of human genes are alternatively spliced, producing RNA isoforms that code functionally distinct proteins. Thus, effective hypoxia response requires increased HIF target gene transcription as well as proper RNA splicing of these HIF target genes. However, it is unclear if and how hypoxia regulates RNA splicing of HIF target genes. This study determined the effects of hypoxia on alternative splicing (AS) of HIF and non-HIF target genes in Hep3B cells and characterized the role of HIF in regulating AS of HIF induced genes. The results indicated that hypoxia generally promotes exon inclusion for hypoxia-induced, but reduces exon inclusion for hypoxia reduced genes. Mechanistically, HIF activity, but not hypoxia per se is found to be necessary and sufficient to increase exon inclusion of several HIF target genes including pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1). PDK1 splicing reporters confirmed that transcriptional activation by HIF is sufficient to increase exon inclusion of PDK1 splicing reporter. In contrast, transcriptional activation of the PDK1 minigene by other transcription factor in the absence of endogenous HIF target gene activation fails to alter PDK1 RNA splicing, demonstrating a novel role of HIF target gene(s) in regulating RNA splicing of HIF target genes. Implications:This study demonstrates a novel function of HIF in regulating RNA splicing of HIF target genes. We analyzed total RNA from Hep3B cells cultured under 21% (N1,3,5) or 1.2% (H2,4,6) oxygen using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Altanalyze software version 2.0.7. Techinical replicates were performed for Nx and Hx treated Hep3B cells

Project description:Adaptation to hypoxia, a hallmark feature of many tumors, is an important driver of cancer cell survival, proliferation and the development of resistance to chemotherapy. Hypoxia-induced stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) leads to transcriptional activation of a network of hypoxia target genes involved in angiogenesis, cell growth, glycolysis, DNA damage repair and apoptosis. Although the transcriptional targets of hypoxia have been characterized, the alternative splicing of transcripts that occurs during hypoxia and the roles they play in oncogenesis are much less understood. To identify and quantify hypoxia-induced alternative splicing events in human cancer cells, we performed whole transcriptome RNA-Seq in breast cancer cells that are known to provide robust transcriptional response to hypoxia. We found 2005 and 1684 alternative splicing events including intron retention, exon skipping and alternative first exon usage that were regulated by acute and chronic hypoxia where intron retention was the most dominant type of hypoxia-induced alternative splicing. Many of these genes are involved in cellular metabolism, transcriptional regulation, actin cytoskeleton organisation, cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, suggesting they may modulate or be involved in additional features of tumorigenic development that extend beyond the known functions of canonical full-length transcripts.

Project description:DEAD-box helicase 1 (DDX1) is a multifunction protein involved in diverse cellular processes including transcription, viral replication, mRNA/miRNA processing, and tRNA splicing. Here, we report a novel function of DDX1 in mRNA alternative splicing in pancreatic β cells. By performing integrated data analysis of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), and cross-linking and immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (CLIP-Seq), we identify hundreds of alternative splicing genes that are targeted by DDX1. These DDX1-targeted alternative splicing genes are mainly associated with calcium ion binding, high voltage-gated calcium channel, and transmembrane transporter. Functionally, silencing DDX1 impairs calcium influx and insulin secretion in the pancreatic β cells. These results reveal an important role for DDX1 in the regulation of gene alternative splicing and insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells.

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental mechanism for the regulation of gene expression. It affects more than 90% of human genes but its role in the regulation of pancreatic beta cells, the producers of insulin, remains unknown. Our recently published data indicated that the M-bM-^@M-^\neuron specificM-bM-^@M-^] Nova1 splicing factor is expressed in pancreatic beta cells. We have presently coupled specific knockdown (KD) of Nova1 with RNA-sequencing to determine all splice variants and downstream pathways regulated by this protein in beta cells. Nova1 KD altered the splicing of nearly 5000 transcripts. Pathway analysis indicated that these genes are involved in exocytosis, apoptosis, insulin receptor signalling, splicing and transcription. In line with these findings, Nova1 silencing inhibited insulin secretion and induced apoptosis basally and after cytokine treatment in rodent and human beta cells. These observations identify a novel layer of regulation of beta cell function, namely AS controlled by key splicing regulators such as Nova1. 3 batch of primary rat pancreatic beta cells were examined under 2 conditions: control and with Nova1 splicing factor knock-down

Project description:Widespread intraperitoneal metastases and chemoresistance render ovarian cancer the leading cause of gynecological malignancy–related deaths, wherein TGF-β signaling plays the pivotal role by promoting cancer stem cells (CSCs) activity. The activation mechanism and key protumorigeneic events downstream of TGF-β signaling remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify hypoxic tumor microenvironment as an initiator of TGF-β signaling to promote HIF-2α positive CSC-mediated chemoresistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Mechanistically, deubiquitinase USP9X, as a TGF-β downstream effector, stabilizes HIF-2ɑ in a hydroxylation- and ubiquitylation-dependent manner, thus promoting stemness reprogramming. Hypoxia and TGF-β signals converge on USP9X-HIF-2ɑ axis via multi-level regulations, which in turn facilitates Smad/HIF responses. Clinically, USP9X expression correlates with TGF-β signatures, CSCs characteristics, EMT behaviors, and chemotherapy responsiveness, along with HIF-2ɑ. Antagonizing USP9X efficiently represses tumor formation, metastasis, CSCs occurrence, while increasing chemosensitivity in orthotopic tumors, patient derived xenograft (PDX), organoid, and chemoresistant cell models, in part via restricting TGF-β and hypoxia activities. This study deciphers the critical role of hypoxic niche in stimulating TGF-β signaling, and a downstream USP9X-HIF-2ɑ proteostatic regulatory axis in priming the HGSOC stemness, thereby provides novel targeting venues to counteract TGF-β signaling in CSCs and meliorate clinical chemoresistance.

Project description:Myocardial infarctions cause hypoxic injury to downstream tissue and a consequent fibrotic remodeling process to replace injured tissue with a scar. Scar formation occurs through phases of wound healing in which stimuli such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) drive cardiac fibroblasts to activate into a myofibroblast phenotype and deposit matrix molecules that form a scar. While this is necessary to repair injured tissue, excessive fibrosis commonly occurs which is correlated with heart failure. Therefore, defining cardiac fibroblast phenotypes under hypoxic stimuli and TGF-β is essential for understanding and treating pathological fibrosis. We robustly characterized fibroblast phenotype through immunofluorescence, quantitative RT-PCR, and proteomic analysis, after either TGF-β treatment or hypoxia durations that mimic acute hypoxic injury post-infarction. We find that hypoxic fibroblasts respond to low oxygen with increased hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) but not HIF-2 activity by 4h. This is accompanied by increased gene and protein levels of VEGFA and LOX, respectively, which are both targets of HIF-1. Both TGF-β1 and hypoxia inhibit proliferation by 24h. While TGF-β1 treatment upregulated various fibrotic pathways, hypoxia causes a global reduction in protein synthesis, including collagen biosynthesis. This study discerns overlapping from distinctive outcomes of TGF-β1 and hypoxia treatment, which is important for elucidating their roles in fibrotic remodeling post-MI.
