The microRNA profile analysis of the function of HMGA2 in immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell lines

ABSTRACT: To identify HMGA2-regulated downstream target microRNAs, we compared the difference of microRNA profiles between ovarian surface epithelial cells without HMGA2 (T29) and cells with HMGA2 (T29A2). Immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cells (named T29) were transfected with HMGA2 retrovirus vector pBabe-HMGA2 (named T29A2). Then cells were harvested for RNA isolation for microRNA expression analysis.

Project description:Confluent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to histamine (100 mM) for 2 hours. Ribosomal profiling via gradient centrifugation and fractionation was used to separate monosome, or under-translated, and polysome, or actively translated, mRNA species that were then used to probe cDNA arrays, a process known as Translation State Array Analysis (TSAA). Four samples were obtained from these experiments, control monosome, control polysome, histamine monosome and histamine polysome. Using the normalized signal intensities from the GeneFilters, we calculated a translation index, or measure of movement of an mRNA molecule from the monosome to the polysome fraction upon stimulation. This calculation was made as follows: (histamine polysome/histamine monosome)/(control polysome/control monosome). Translational indices greater than 2.5 (upregulated) or lower than 0.4 (downregulated) were chosen for further study. HUVECs were stimulated with histamine (100 mM) for 2 hours. Cycloheximide (CHX) was added to a final concentration of 100 ng/mL for 5 minutes and cells were then rinsed with cold HBSS containing CHX (100 ng/mL) and scraped from the dish and pelleted by centrifugation (2000 x g, 5 minutes). The supernatant was removed and cells were carefully resuspended in 375 ïL Low Salt Buffer (LSB; 20 mM Tris, 10 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) + RNasin (40 U/mL) + DTT (10 nM) for 3 minutes on ice. 125 ïL LSB Lysis buffer (LSB containing 200 mM sucrose and 1.2% Triton-X100) was then added and cells disrupted by pipetting. The mixture was then transferred to 1.7 mL microfuge tubes and centrifuged (20,000 x g, 1 minute, 4ï° C) to remove nuclei and cellular debris. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube containing 50 ïL LSB + RNasin (40 U/mL) + DTT (10 nM) and 15 ïL 5M NaCl. This mixture was then layered onto prepoured gradients (15-50% sucrose in LSB). Gradients were spun at 43,700 rpm for 90 minutes (4ï° C) and then run on a density gradient flow cell fractionator (Isco) to obtain ribosomal profiles. Ribosomal fractions corresponding to monosomes (M) and polysomes (P) (Figure 1) were collected into Trizol LS (Invitrogen) and total RNA isolated according to the directions of the manufacturer. Total RNA was reverse transcribed using oligo dT primers in the presence of 33P dCTP to generate labeled cDNA probes from the M and P associated mRNA fractions of control and stimulated cells and these probes used to detect specific array elements on four identical Research Genetics (ResGen) Named Human Gene cDNA GeneFilters (GF 211, Invitrogen). These filters were washed using high stringency conditions and exposed to phosphorimaging screens for analysis using Pathways 3, proprietary software included with the ResGen filters. Hybridization signals were normalized to the average intensity of the hybridization signals from the particular array filter to correct for differing global hybridization efficiencies between filters. To determine if a particular hybridization signal was significantly above background levels, an initial screen of the array elements was conducted by dividing the hybridization signal of an individual cDNA spot by the background signal on particular filter. Background signal levels were determined using the Pathways 3 analysis software that measures the signal intensity of the area between cDNA spots and averages that signal over the area of the entire array. Array elements were considered to be distinguishable from background if the hybridization signal/background ratio was greater than 1.1. Signal intensities from each filter were normalized by dividing the raw signal intensity of the cDNA spot by the average signal intensity for the entire filter. The translation state (TS) of each qualifying array element was determined by dividing the normalized signal intensity of the element in the polysome fraction by the normalized signal intensity of the element in the monosome fraction: TS=P/M. The Translation Index (TLI), a measure of the change of translation states of individual genes, was determined by calculating the ratio of the treated cell TS to the control cell TS; TLI = TSe/TSc where e represents experimental or treated conditions and c represents controls. In this scenario, a gene that is not regulated by translation would have a TLI value of 1, actively translated genes would have a TLI value greater than 1, whereas a poorly translated or under-translated gene would have a TLI value less than 1. Arbitrary TLI values of 2.5 and 0.4 were used to categorize individual array elements as being translationally regulated.

HUVECs were stimulated with thrombin (2 U/mL) for 2 hours. Cycloheximide (CHX) was added to a final concentration of 100 ng/mL for 5 minutes and cells were then rinsed with cold HBSS containing CHX (100 ng/mL) and scraped from the dish and pelleted by centrifugation (2000 x g, 5 minutes).

The Translation Index (TLI), a measure of the change of translation states of individual genes, was determined by calculating the ratio of the treated cell TS to the control cell TS; TLI = TSe/TSc where e represents experimental or treated conditions and c represents controls. In this scenario, a gene that is not regulated by translation would have a TLI value of 1, actively translated genes would have a TLI value greater than 1, whereas a poorly translated or under-translated gene would have a TLI value less than 1. Arbitrary TLI values of 2.5 and 0.4 were used to categorize individual array elements as being translationally regulated. A measure of transcriptional activity was also determined from the signal intensities of the array elements. Summing the normalized signal intensities from the M and P fractions of the experimental cells and dividing that value by the sum of the normalized signal intensities from the control fractions calculated the Transcription Index (TCI). Therefore, TCI = (Me + Pe)/(Mc + Pc). If transcript levels for a specific gene do not change, the TCI value for that gene will be 1. Genes that are transcribed upon stimulation of the cells will have a TCI value greater than 1, while genes that are not transcribed or transcription is down-regulated upon stimulation will have a TCI value less than 1. Arbitrary values of 2 and 0.5, a doubling or halving of the amount of mRNA for that element, respectively, were used to categorize individual array elements as being transcriptionally regulated.

Project description:Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). All PEL cell lines are infected with KSHV, and 70% are co-infected with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). KSHV reactivation from latency requires promoter-specific transactivation by the KSHV Rta protein through interactions with RBP-Jk (CSL), the cellular DNA binding component of the Notch signal transduction pathway. EBV transformation of primary B cells requires EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA)-2 to interact with RBP-Jk to direct the latent viral and cellular gene expression program. Although KSHV Rta and EBV EBNA-2 both require RBP-Jk for transactivation, previous studies have suggested that RBP-Jk-dependent transactivators do not function identically. We have found that the EBV latent protein LMP-1 is expressed in less than 5% of KSHV+/EBV+ PEL cells, but is induced in an Rta-dependent fashion when KSHV reactivates. KSHV Rta transactivates the EBV latency promoters in an RBP-Jk-dependent fashion and forms a ternary complex with RBP-Jk on the promoters. In B cells that are conditionally transformed by EBV alone, we show that KSHV Rta complements a short-term EBNA2 growth deficiency in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Complementaton of EBNA2-deficiency by Rta depends on RBP-Jk and LMP-1, and Rta transactivation is required for optimal growth of KSHV+/EBV+ PEL lines. Our data suggest that Rta can contribute to EBV-driven cellular growth by transactivating RBP-Jk-dependent EBV latency genes. However, our data also suggest that EBNA2 and Rta induce distinct alterations in the cellular proteomes that contribute to growth of infected cells. EREB2-5 cells were transfected and grown in the presence or absence of β-estradiol, as described. Seven days post-transfection, protein extracts were prepared, and 200 ugs. of each were analyzed using the RayBio Human Apoptosis Antibody Array Kit (RayBiotech) as per manufacturers suggestions. The membranes were exposed to autoradiography film for different times to detect the chemiluminescent signals. Images with signals in linear range were quantitated using the program ImageJ [59]. For each membrane, signals from the negative control spots were averaged, and then subtracted from each of the other spots. A signal was considered valid if its value exceeded both its average local background, and the average of all valid negative control values. Valid signals were normalized using the positive control spots (for cellular BID protein). Fold change in signals for each spot were quantitated by dividing by the valid signals for each corresponding spot on the minus β-estradiol membrane. Average fold change, and standard deviation, were calculated for each protein.
