Transcriptional consequences of DISC1 knockdown in human neural progenitor cells

ABSTRACT: Background: One of the strongest identified risk factors for major psychiatric illness is a chromosomal translocation directly disrupting the DISC1 gene, which is observed in members of a large Scottish family. Although DISC1 is known to function through a variety of molecular pathways, no global assessment of the molecular consequences of cellular DISC1 perturbation has been carried out to date. Methods: Predicted effects of the t(1;11)(q42;q14) translocation on DISC1 expression were modelled in neural progenitor cells derived from human fetal cortex using RNA interference (RNAi). Downstream effects on the cellular transcriptome were assessed by microarray. The reproducibility of individual gene expression changes was tested in repeat experiments by quantitative PCR.Results: A total of 54 genes were differentially expressed between the DISC1 and control siRNA conditions at a false discovery rate (FDR) â¤ 0.05 in the primary experiment. Differentially expressed genes were significantly over-represented in Gene Ontology terms relating to the cell cycle, but included genes involved in a variety of other functions. Several genes showing reproducible differences in gene expression have been previously implicated in psychiatric disorders. Most consistent gene expression differences were seen for CCND2, MEG3, SPOCK2 and GABRA5. Total RNA extracted from human neural progenitor cells manipulated with either of two siRNAs: control siRNA or siRNA targeting DISC1 . 3 replicates per group. Genome wide transcript levels were then measured using gene expression microarrays.

Project description:One of most common events in carcinogenesis is loss of DNA methylation (hypomethylation) from sequence of transposable element (TEs) including long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1). Naturally, LINE-1 and other TEs within gene body region (intragenic) will suppress by fully methylated CpG sequences in order to keep prevent incorrect transcriptional start site (TSSs) that cause genome instability. To study character of intragenic LINE-1 promoter hypomethylation or gene body methylation status, within Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell, LINE-1 promoter methylation status was detected with CU-L1 (unique intragenic LINE-1) and COBRALINE-1 (whole genome LINE- 1) PCRs. Each intragenic LINE-1 promoter hypomethylation have unique pattern depending on cell types and impact of LINE-1M-bM-^@M-^Ys host gene within cell. From CU-L1 PCR 16 genes, EPHA3 and PPP2R2B are only two genes that normally induce expression by hypermethylated in gene body region, intragenic LINE-1 promoter. LINE-1 promoter hypomethylation level induce global and specific LINE-1 expression and also repress LINE-1M-bM-^@M-^Ys host genes expression, which confirm by 5M-bM-^@M-^Y- aza-2-deoxycytidine induced DNA hypomethylationin HNSCC cell that cause EPHA3 become greater down- regulated. Since LINE-1 RNA can express via promoter hypomethylation, knockdown LINE-1 RNA can lead increasing of EPHA3 in HNSCC cell. LINE-1 RNA was concern as key factor on LINE-1 hostM-bM-^@M-^Ys gene regulation by consequence of gene body hypomethylation. RNA molecule can regulate gene by RNAi pathway and Epigenetics mechanism, within both machinery require RISC proteins. Next, knockdown RISC protein, DICER1 gene can investigate possibility role that LINE-1 RNA regulate LINE-1 host gene. Within yeast cell, overexpress retrotransposon transcript was control by endo-siRNA pathway, which require DICER1 like protein for produce endo-siRNA from precursor molecule that include retrotransposon transcript. With CU-DREAM analyse microarray results by intersection datas for check the connection between factors on gene regulation including DICER1, LINE-1 RNA, DNA hypomethylation and HNSCC carcinogenesis model. According to CU-DREAM analysis for HNSCC cell panel, DICER1 involved pathway may induce hypermethylation on gene body region which relate to TSS and intragenic LINE-1 promoter region. While LINE-1 RNA involved pathway select to induce hypermethylation on gene without LINE-1 promoter, LINE-1 RNA have in tran function. In conclusion, intragenic LINE-1 promoter hypomethylation cause releases of LINE-1 RNA for regulate genes during HNSCC carcinogenesis via RISC protein. Oligonucleotides specific target on LINE-1 was inserted into Psilencer 3.1 vector hygro H1 promoter. (Ambion, Austin, Texas, USA) and transfection was mediated by FuGENE M-BM-. HD (Roche), sequence shown in appendix. Oligosynthesis siRNA specific to DICER1 purchased from santa cruz biotechnology for transient tranfection, inc was dilute with RNASE free dH2O to reach 10M-NM-<M. In a 12 well plate, seed 6 x 105 cells per well in 1 ml antibiotic-free normal growth medium supplemented with 10% FBS. In next day, perform transfection those siRNA at 100 nM with Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen Cat: 11668-027) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cell was collect at 48h after transfection step by Trizol reagent (Life technologies, Inc.) in order to collect total RNA from each sample for hybridize on beadchip according to the protocol.

Project description:The proto-oncogenes ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5 encode members of the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor family, which includes the most frequently rearranged and overexpressed genes in prostate cancer. Despite being critical regulators of development, little is known about their post-translational regulation. Here we identify the ubiquitin ligase COnstitutive Photomorphogenic-1 (COP1, also called RFWD2) as a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5. ETV1, which is the member mutated more frequently in prostate cancer, was degraded after being ubiquitinated by COP1. Truncated ETV1 encoded by prostate cancer translocation TMPRSS2:ETV1 lacks the critical COP1 binding motifs (degrons) and was 50-fold more stable than wild-type ETV1. Almost all patient translocations eliminate these ETV1 degrons, implying that translocations rendering ETV1 insensitive to COP1 confer a significant selective advantage to prostate epithelial cells. Indeed, COP1 deficiency in mouse prostate elevated ETV1 levels and produced increased cell proliferation, hyperplasia, and early prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. The combined loss of COP1 and PTEN enhanced the invasiveness of mouse prostate adenocarcinomas. Finally, relatively rare human prostate cancer samples showed hemizygous loss of the COP1 gene, loss of COP1 protein expression, and abnormally elevated ETV1 protein while lacking a translocation event. These findings identify COP1 as a bona fide tumor suppressor whose down-regulation promotes prostatic epithelial cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. LNCap prostate cancer cell line were treated with 5 different sets of siRNAs: (1) control siRNA; (2) COP1 (RFWD2) siRNA; (3) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA; (4) COP1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA; (5) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA. The experiments were conducted in two batches; each batch has its own control siRNA group, so that the batch effect can be properly modelled. Each group has 4-6 replicates; there are 31 samples in total.
