Retinoic Acid-Induced DR2 Alu Transcripts in Stem Cells Generate Functional Small RNAs that Mediate Target mRNA Degradation

ABSTRACT: While liganded nuclear receptors are well established to regulate Pol II protein-coding transcription units, their role in regulation of DNA repeats remains largely unknown. Here, we report that ~2-3% of the ~1-200,000 human DR2 Alu repeats, particularly those in proximity to retinoic acid-activated Pol II transcription units, are bound and activated by retinoic acid receptor in human embryonic stem cells, triggering their Pol III-dependent transcription. The non-coding DR2 Alu transcripts are processed in a Dicer-dependent fashion into a series of small RNA products with sizes ranging ~28-65nt and exhibit substantial co-localization with P bodies. These small RNAs cause degradation of a subset of mRNAs critical for the "stem cell" state, which harbor complimentary sequences in their 3' untranslated regions. This regulation requires Ago3- dependent stabilization of full-length and processed DR2 Alu transcripts, and recruitment of Ago3-associated decapping complexes to the target mRNAs. Thus, the RAR/Pol III-dependent DR2 Alu transcriptional program in stem cells serves as a functional complement to the RAR/Pol II-dependent counterpart.

DICER- andM-BM- AGO3-dependent generation of retinoic acid-induced DR2 Alu RNAs regulates human stem cell proliferation (RNA-seq)

Project description:Although liganded nuclear receptors have been established to regulate RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription units, their role in regulating Pol III-transcribed DNA repeats remains largely unknown. Here we report that ~2-3% of the ~100,000-200,000 total human DR2 Alu repeats located in proximity to activated Pol II transcription units are activated by the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) in human embryonic stem cells to generate Pol III-dependent RNAs. These transcripts are processed, initially in aM-BM- DICER-dependent fashion, into small RNAs (~28-65 nt) referred to as repeat-induced RNAs that cause the degradation of a subset of crucial stem-cell mRNAs, includingM-BM- NanogM-BM- mRNA, which modulate exit from the proliferative stem-cell state. This regulation requiresM-BM- AGO3-dependent accumulation of processed DR2 Alu transcripts and the subsequent recruitment ofM-BM- AGO3-associated decapping complexes to the target mRNA. In this way, the RAR-dependent and Pol III-dependent DR2 Alu transcriptional events in stem cells functionally complement the Pol II-dependent neuronal transcriptional program.

Ligand-dependent dynamics of retinoic acid receptor binding during early neurogenesis

Project description:Among its many roles in development, retinoic acid determines the anterior-posterior identity of differentiating motor neurons by activating Retinoic Acid Receptor (RAR)-mediated transcription. RAR is thought to bind the genome constitutively, and only induce transcription in the presence of the retinoid ligand. However, little is known about where RAR binds to the genome or how it selects target sites. We tested the constitutive RAR binding model using the retinoic acid-driven differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into differentiated motor neurons. We find that retinoic acid treatment results in widespread changes in RAR genomic binding, including novel binding to genes directly responsible for anterior-posterior specification, as well as the subsequent recruitment of the basal polymerase machinery. Finally, we discovered that the binding of transcription factors at the embryonic stem cell stage can accurately predict where in the genome RAR binds after initial differentiation. We have characterized a ligand-dependent shift in RAR genomic occupancy at the initiation of neurogenesis. Our data also suggests that enhancers active in pluripotent embryonic stem cells may be preselecting regions that will be activated by RAR during neuronal differentiation. The differentiation of ventral motor neurons is induced by treating embryonic stem cell cultures with retinoic acid. Here, ChIP-seq is used to profile the genome-wide occupancy of RAR isofroms both immediately prior to and during exposure of the cells to retinoic acid. ChIP-seq is also used to profile the genomic occupancy of Pol2 with phosphorylated serine 5 (Pol2-S5P) and phosphorylated serine 2 (Pol2-S2P) after exposure to retinoic acid.

Relocalization of retinoic acid receptors from non-canonical to canonical spaced binding elements during embryoid body differentiation

Project description:Retinoic Acid Receptors (RARs) bind RA-response elements in regulatory regions of their target genes. While canonical RAREs comprise direct repeats of the consensus 5’-RGKTCA-3’ sequence separated by 1, 2 or 5 nucleotides (DR1, DR2, DR5), we show that shortly after RA treatement of mouse embryoid bodies or F9 cells, RARs occupy a large repertoire of DR0, DR2, DR5, DR8 and IR0 elements. In vitro, RAR-RXR bind these non-canonical spacings with comparable affinities to DR2 and DR5. Most DR8 elements comprise three half sites with DR2 and DR0 spacings. This specific half site organisation constitutes a previously unrecognised, but frequent signature of RAR binding elements and acts as an RARE. At later stages of embryoid body differentiation, RARs relocalise to a restricted repertoire of sites comprising predominantly DR5 elements. Differentiation thus involves genomic relocalisation of RARs, and a switch from DR0 and DR8 at early times to DR5 at later stages. Examination of genomic localisation of RAR in differentiating embryoid bodies.

Mitochondrial Network Organization during Neuronal Reprogramming, MT-DF-WAX

Project description:The study focuses on an extensive biochemical fractionation with in-depth quantitative mass spectrometric profiling in the mitochondrial (mt) extracts of cultured human NTera2 embryonal carcinoma stem cells (i.e. ECSCs or undifferentiated state) and upon exposure to retinoic acid-induced differentiated neurons (DNs) to establish a network of high-quality mt protein-protein interactions. The resulting network showed that most of the native mt protein complexes with predicted subunits are previously unreported and endured extensive changes during neuronal differentiation and influence neuronal function and neurodegenerative disorder attributes.
