Project description:Circulating miRNAs are increasingly being considered as biomarkers in various medical contexts, but the value of analyzing isomiRs (isoforms of canonical miRNA sequences) has not frequently been assessed. Here we hypothesize that an in-depth analysis of the full circulating miRNA landscape could identify specific isomiRs that are stronger biomarkers, compared to their corresponding miRNA, for identifying increased CV risk in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-a clinical unmet need. Plasma miRNAs were sequenced with next-generation sequencing (NGS). Liver fat content was measured with magnetic-resonance spectrometry (MRS); CV risk was determined, beyond using traditional biomarkers, by a CT-based measurement of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and the calculation of a CAC score-based CV-risk percentile (CAC-CV%). This pilot study included n = 13 patients, age > 45 years, with an MRS-measured liver fat content of ≥5% (wt/wt), and free of overt CVD. NGS identified 1103 miRNAs and 404,022 different isomiRs, of which 280 (25%) and 1418 (0.35%), respectively, passed an abundance threshold. Eighteen (sixteen/two) circulating miRNAs correlated positively/negatively, respectively, with CAC-CV%, nine of which also significantly discriminated between high/low CV risk through ROC-AUC analysis. IsomiR-ome analyses uncovered 67 isomiRs highly correlated (R ≥ 0.55) with CAC-CV%. Specific isomiRs of miRNAs 101-3p, 144-3p, 421, and 484 exhibited stronger associations with CAC-CV% compared to their corresponding miRNA. Additionally, while miRNAs 140-3p, 223-3p, 30e-5p, and 342-3p did not correlate with CAC-CV%, specific isomiRs with altered seed sequences exhibited a strong correlation with coronary atherosclerosis burden. Their predicted isomiRs-specific targets were uniquely enriched (compared to their canonical miRNA sequence) in CV Disease (CVD)-related pathways. Two of the isomiRs exhibited discriminative ROC-AUC, and another two showed a correlation with reverse cholesterol transport from cholesterol-loaded macrophages to ApoB-depleted plasma. In summary, we propose a pipeline for exploring circulating isomiR-ome as an approach to uncover novel and strong CVD biomarkers.

Project description:Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Yet clinically, distinguishing between NAFLD patients with average CV risk from those at elevated risk is not easily achieved by traditional CV risk factors and clinically-based scoring systems. Here we hypothesize that in-depth analysis of circulating miRNAs can identify strong putative biomarkers for the degree of CV risk among patients with NAFLD

Project description:Overexpression of miR-183-5p|+2, but not of the other two isomiRs |0 and |+1, was observed to reduce cell cycle and cell proliferation in different triple-negative breast cancer cell lines. Therefore, we hypothesized that the |+2 isoform has targets distinct from the other two isoforms. To test this hypothesis, we overexpressed separately the three different isoforms or negative controls (siAllstar or mimic-Cltr) and performed Mass Spectrometry to identify differentially regulated proteins. Interestingly, a gene set enrichment analysis of the changes in protein expression revealed significant downregulation of transcriptional targets of E2F specifically in cells transfected with the |+2 isoform prompting us to validate the predicted isomiR specific target E2F1. Subsequently, we could show that direct targeting of E2F1 by miR-183-5p|+2 is responsible for the impact of the isomiR on cell cycle and proliferation.

Project description:miRNAs are small noncoding RNA molecules that play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Length and/or sequence variants of the same miRNA are termed isomiRs. While most isomiRs are functionally redundant compared to their canonical counterparts, so-called 5âisomiRs exhibit a shifted 5â end and therefore a shifted seed sequence resulting in a different target spectrum. However, not much is known about the functional relevance of these isoforms. Analysis of miRNA-seq data from breast cancer cell lines identified six pairs of highly expressed miRNAs and associated 5âisomiRs. Among them, hsa-miR-140-3p was of particular interest because its 5âisomiR showed higher expression compared to the canonical miRNA annotated in miRbase. This miRNA has previously been shown to control stemness of breast cancer cells. MiRNAseq data of breast cancer patients (TCGA dataset) showed that both the canonical hsa-miR-140-3p and its 5âisomiR-140-3p were highly expressed in patients compared to normal breast tissue. In the current work, we present the functional characterization of 5âisomiR-140-3p and the cellular phenotypes associated with its overexpression in MCF10A and MDA-MB-231 cell lines in comparison to the canonical hsa-miR-140-3p. Contrary to the effect of the canonical hsa miR 140-3p, overexpression of the 5âisomiR-140-3p led to a decrease in cell viability. The latter observation was supported by cell cycle analysis, where the 5âisomiR-140-3p but not the hsa-miR-140-3p caused cell cycle arrest in G0/G1-phase. Additionally, 5âismoiR-140-3p overexpression was found to cause a decrease in cell migration in MCF10A cells. We identified three novel direct target genes of the 5â isomiR-140-3p; COL4A1, ITGA6 and MARCKSL1. Finally, we have shown that knocking down these genes partially phenocopied the effects of the 5âisomiR-140-4p overexpression, where COL4A1 and ITGA6 knockdown led to reduced cell viability and cell cycle arrest, while MARCKSL1 knockdown resulted in a decrease in the migratory potential of cells. In summary, this work presents evidence that there is a functional synergy between the canonical hsa-miR-140-3p and the newly identified 5âisomiR-140-3p in suppressing growth and progression of breast cancer by simultaneously targeting genes related to differentiation, proliferation, and migration. With this array, we aimed to address the question which genes are regulated by either of the two forms of the miRNA. Samples were measured in one biological replicate of cells transfected with mimic-ctrl1 and mimic-ctrl2 (Dharmacon) as control samples and two biological replicates of cells transfected with hsa-miR-140-3p and 5'isomiR-140-3p (Exiqon) in 30nM concentration using Lipofectamin 2000 as transfection reagent.

Project description:Next generation sequencing has allowed the discovery of miRNA isoforms, termed isomiRs. Some isomiRs are derived from imprecise processing of pre-miRNA precursors, leading to length variants. Additional variability is introduced by non-templated addition of bases at the ends or editing of internal bases, resulting in base differences relative to the template DNA sequence. We hypothesized that some component of the isomiR variation reported so far could be due to systematic technical noise. We have developed the XICRA pipeline to analyze small RNA sequencing data at the miRNA,. We exploited its ability to use single or merged reads to compare miRNA isomiR results derived from paired-end (PE) reads with those from single reads (SR) to address whether detectable sequence differences relative to canonical miRNAs found in isomiRs are true biological variations or the result of errors in sequencing. We have detected non-negligible systematic differences between single and PE data which primarily affect putative internally edited isomiRs, and at a much smaller frequency terminal length changing isomiRs. This is relevant for the identification of true isomiRs in small RNA sequencing datasets. . We conclude that potential artifacts derived from sequencing errors and/or data processing could result in an overestimation of abundance and diversity of miRNA isoforms. Efforts in annotating the isomiRnome should take this into account.

Project description:miRNAs are small noncoding RNA molecules that play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Length and/or sequence variants of the same miRNA are termed isomiRs. While most isomiRs are functionally redundant compared to their canonical counterparts, so-called 5’isomiRs exhibit a shifted 5’ end and therefore a shifted seed sequence resulting in a different target spectrum. However, not much is known about the functional relevance of these isoforms. Analysis of miRNA-seq data from breast cancer cell lines identified six pairs of highly expressed miRNAs and associated 5’isomiRs. Among them, hsa-miR-140-3p was of particular interest because its 5’isomiR showed higher expression compared to the canonical miRNA annotated in miRbase. This miRNA has previously been shown to control stemness of breast cancer cells.

Project description:MiR-140 is selectively expressed in cartilage. Deletion of the entire miR-140 locus in mice results in a growth retardation phenotype and an early-onset osteoarthritis-like pathology, however the relative contribution of miR-140-5p or miR-140-3p to the phenotype remains to be determined. An unbiased small RNA sequencing approach identified that miR-140-3p was in vast abundance (>10-fold) to miR-140-5p in human cartilage. Analysis of these data identified multiple miR-140-3p isomiRs differing from the miRBase [1] annotation at both the 5´ and 3´ end, with >99% of miR-140-3p isomiRs having one of two ‘seed’ sequences (5´ bases 2-8). The most abundant isomiR with each seed were selected for further analysis; miR-140-3p.2 which has an identical seed to the miRBase miR-140-3p (ACCACAG) and miR-140-3p.1 which has an altered seed (CCACAGG), and thus different potential targets. Each isomiR was overexpressed in chondrocytes and whole-genome transcriptomics used to identify targets. miR-140-3p.1 and miR-140-3p.2 significantly down-regulated 694 and 238 genes respectively (adj.P.Val<0.05), of which only 162 genes were commonly down-regulated by both isomiRs. Targets of both isomiRs were validated using 3´UTR luciferase assays. A significant enrichment of miR-140-3p.1 targets was identified within genes whose expression increase in the rib chondrocytes of Mir140-null mice and within genes whose expression decreased during human chondrogenesis. Finally, through imputing the expression of miR-140 from the expression of the host gene WWP2 in 124 previously published datasets an inverse correlation with miR-140-3p.1 predicted targets was identified. Together these data suggest the novel seed containing isomiR miR-140-3p.1 is more functional than the original consensus miR-140-3p or the isomiR with the same seed, miR-140-3p.2.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggest anti-senescence and geroprotective roles for the glucose-lowering drug metformin. In this framework, the ability of metformin to affect the biogenesis of selected microRNAs (miRNAs) was recently suggested. IsomiRs are distinct variations of miRNA sequences, such as addition or deletion of one or more nucleotides at the 5’ and/or 3’ ends of the canonical miRNA sequence. Since no study has comprehensively assessed the miRNA signatures, including isomiR variants, affected by metformin treatment during cellular senescence, we analysed miRNA and isomiR expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) undergoing replicative senescence in presence of metformin.
