Project description:CRISPR/Cas systems have gained prominence as powerful tools for genome engineering. Recent investigations into the crucial role of transposable elements (TEs) have stimulated research interest in manipulating TEs to elucidate their functions. Nevertheless, designing single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that are both specific and efficient for TE manipulation presents a formidable challenge, considering the repetitive nature and high copy numbers of TEs. Although various sgRNA design tools have been developed for gene editing, an optimized sgRNA designer explicitly for TE manipulation has yet to be established. To bridge this gap, we presented CRISPR-TE, a web-based application featuring an accessible graphical user interface, available at https://www.crisprte.cn. CRISPR-TE could identify all potential sgRNAs for TEs and offers a comprehensive solution for efficient TE targeting at both the single duplicate and subfamily levels. We also demonstrated that young TEs can be targeted with higher coverage at the subfamily level. Finally, we validated the overexpression of SVAD, a human-specific TE, using dCas9-VP64 activator incorporated with three sgRNAs designed by our tool. Collectively, our findings suggest that CRISPR-TE may serve as a versatile framework for designing sgRNAs aimed at TE targeting.

Project description:BackgroundThe CRISPR/Cas systems have emerged as powerful tools in genome engineering. Recent studies highlighting the crucial role of transposable elements (TEs) have stimulated research interest in manipulating these elements to understand their functions. However, designing single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that are specific and efficient for TE manipulation is a significant challenge, given their sequence repetitiveness and high copy numbers. While various sgRNA design tools have been developed for gene editing, an optimized sgRNA designer for TE manipulation has yet to be established.ResultsWe present CRISPR-TE, a web-based application featuring an accessible graphical user interface, available at https://www.crisprte.cn/ , and currently tailored to the human and mouse genomes. CRISPR-TE identifies all potential sgRNAs for TEs and provides a comprehensive solution for efficient TE targeting at both the single copy and subfamily levels. Our analysis shows that sgRNAs targeting TEs can more effectively target evolutionarily young TEs with conserved sequences at the subfamily level.ConclusionsCRISPR-TE offers a versatile framework for designing sgRNAs for TE targeting. CRISPR-TE is publicly accessible at https://www.crisprte.cn/ as an online web service and the source code of CRISPR-TE is available at https://github.com/WanluLiuLab/CRISPRTE/ .

Project description:Monocytes, macrophages and microglia make up a large part of the glioma environment and have an important role in maintaining and propagating glioma progression. Targeting these cells to inhibit their tumor promoting effect and reprogramming them into an anti-tumor phenotype has been one of the focal points of glioma therapy. In this study we have analyzed the transcriptomes of 8 different monocyte subgroups derived from the brain and the blood of glioma bearing mice. This includes the immune expression profile of blood-derived monocytes versus tumor infiltrating monocytes identifying increased expression of both pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways in tumor infiltrating monocytes. To identify new markers and targets for therapy in these different cell populations, we created a user-friendly web-based tool accessible at www.glioma-monocytes.com (temporary password 'MM2MM2'). In addition, this tool can be used for validation purposes and to elucidate gene expression profiles of tumor interacting-monocytes and macrophages as well as blood-derived circulating monocytes. Analysis of the transcriptomal profile of monocyte in a glioma mouse model Result: Infiltrating monocytes and macrophages express a high level of activation as compared to blood monocytes

Project description:Background: The small RNAs that Transposable Elements generate are vastly different when they are transcriptionally silenced compared to when they are transcriptionally activated. We performed the deep sequencing of small RNAs in a number of small RNA biogenesis mutants in both Transposable Element-silenced and Transposable Element-active epigenome backgrounds. Results: We found that Transposable Elements generate large amounts of 21-22nt siRNAs only when they are transcriptionally active. These 21-22nt siRNAs are incorporated into the AGO6 protein. Conclusion: Ago6 is the key protein that bridges the post-transcriptional degradation of Transposable Element mRNAs and the establishment of DNA methylation. Examination of flower bud small RNAs from wild type and 5 single or double mutant combinations, many of which have biological replicates. In addition, IP purification of the AGO6 protein (and mock no-antigen controls) followed by sequencing of the incorporated small RNAs. Replicate A for Col and ddm1 are submitted in GSE41755

Project description:This study reports the ability of WEB-2170, an antagonist of platelet-activating-factor receptor, to induce apoptosis in human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells. Action mechanisms of WEB-2170 were first investigated in promyelocytic NB4 cells by DNA microarray profiling followed by morphologic, cytofluorimetric and biological analyses which were then extended to other AML cell lines including KG1, NB4-MR4, THP1 and U937, and, eventually, to blasts from patients with different AML subtypes (M0-M5).

Project description:Small non-coding RNA biogenesis typically involves cleavage of structured precursors by RNase III-like endonucleases. However, guide RNAs that direct U-insertion/deletion mRNA editing in mitochondria of trypanosomes maintain 5â² triphosphate characteristic of transcription start site and possess U-tail indicative of 3â² processing and uridylation. Here, we identified a protein complex composed of RET1 TUTase and 3â²-5â² DSS1 exonuclease, and three additional subunits. This complex, termed mitochondrial 3â² processome (MPsome), is responsible for primary uridylation of ~800-nt gRNA precursors, their processive degradation to a mature length of 50-60 nt, and secondary U-tail addition. Both strands of gRNA gene are transcribed giving rise to sense and antisense precursors of similar size. Head-to-head hybridization of these transcripts blocks symmetrical 3â²-5â² degradation at the fixed distance from the double-stranded region. Together, our findings suggest a model in which gRNA is derived from the 5â² extremity of a primary molecule by uridylation-induced, antisense transcription-controlled exonucleolytic degradation. 1. we first sequenced guide RNA precursor (Gel-fractioned total cellular RNA 600-1500nt was used) transcripts from three replicates to study the their tail features and also validate observation of sense/antisense accumulation upon perturbation of pre-processing complex based on few cases. 2. we then sequenced mitochondrial small RNA and built a reference for small RNAs using our custom algorithm. We then took the mitochondrial small RNA data and uncovered the sense/antisense pair. 3. We then used CLIP-Seq data to investigate in vivo binding sites and, together with RNA IP-Seq data to understand what determine the relative abundance of sense and antisense pair of the duplex. 4. We used sequenced small mitochondrial RNA in different RNAi experiments (For RNAi experiments, 30-70nt RNA fraction was gel-isolated from total cellular RNAs) to understand which protein will affect the Utail length in mature small mitochondrial RNA.
