Project description:MicroRNAs are non-coding regulators of gene expression, which act by repressing protein translation and/or degrading mRNA. Many have been shown to drive tumorigenesis in cancer, but functional studies to understand their mode of action are typically limited to single target genes. In this study we use synthetic biotinylated miRNA to pull down endogenous targets of miR-182. We identified over 1000 genes as potential targets of miR-182, most of which have a known function in pathways underlying tumour biology. Specifically, functional enrichment analysis identified components of both the DNA damage response pathway and cell cycle to be highly represented in this target cohort. Experimental validation confirmed that miR-182 mediated disruption of the homologous recombination (HR) pathway is a consequence of its ability to target multiple components in that pathway. Although there is a strong enrichment for the cell cycle ontology, we do not see a direct biological effect as a consequence of miR-182 over expression. We highlight targets which could be responsible for miR-182 mediated disruption of other biological processes attributed in the literature so far. Finally we show that miR-182 is highly expressed in a panel of human breast cancer samples highlighting its role as a potential oncomir in breast cancer. HEK293T cells were transfected with biotinylated miR-182 or a mock control. The miRNAs and target mRNA were pulled down with streptavidin and compared to the control.

Project description:Bcl-xL is an anti-apoptotic protein that is frequently found to be overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer leading to an inhibition of apoptosis and poor prognosis. Recently, the role of miRNAs in regulating apoptosis and cell survival during tumorigenesis has become evident, with cancer cells showing perturbed expression of various miRNAs. We utilized miRNA microarrays to determine if miRNA dysregulation in bcl-xL silenced lung adenocarcinoma cells could be involved in regulating apoptotic behavior, and identified dysregulated miRNAs with putative targets involved in signal transduction pathways regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation and cell progression. Short interfering RNA-based transfection of A549 was carried out inducing a reduction in bcl-xL expression levels. 24 hours post-transfection total RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent and hybridized onto Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Arrays. A global miRNA expression profile was then established, which compared total RNA, extracted from siRNA-transfected and non-transfected A549 cells. All experiments were carried out with three independent biological replicates.

Project description:The homeobox gene HOXA10 plays a key role in endometrial differentiation during embryogenesis and is abundantly expressed in the adult endometrium and decidual cells. In the adult endometrium the expression of HOXA10 is regulated by estrogen and progesterone and the levels are highest in the decidualized cells. We have shown that HOXA10 is required in the endometrial cells to maintain the decidual cell phenotype. In this study we aimed to determine the molecular mechanisms by which HOXA10 maintains the decidual phenotype and the other roles it might have in decidual physiology. In vitro decidualized human endometrial stromal cells were knocked down for HOXA10 using siRNA and gene expression profiles of the scrambled and HOXA10 siRNA transfected cells were compared at 24, 48 and 72 h post transfection. Several genes having multiple functions were found to be differentially expressed. We postulate that HOXA10 is required by the decidual cells to support immune cell differentiation, trophoblast invasion and cellular remodeling. In vitro decidualized priamry cultures of human endometrial strmal cells transfected with a siRNA againts HOXA10 or a scrambled siRNA. Cells harvested at 24, 48 and 72 h post transfection.

Project description:Variants of microRNAs, (isomiRs) are commonly reported in deep-sequencing studies; however the functional significance of these variants remains controversial. To assess their biological relevance, we have performed ultra-deep miRNA-seq on ten adult human tissues, and created an analysis pipeline (miRNA-MATE) to align, annotate, and analyze miRNAs and their isomiRs. We find that isomiRs share sequence and expression characteristics with canonical miRNAs, and are generally strongly correlated with canonical miRNA expression. We isolated polyribosome-associated mRNA, and captured the mRNA-bound miRNAs, and found that isomiRs and canonical miRNAs are equally associated with translational machinery. Finally, we transfected cells with biotinylated RNA duplexes encoding isomiRs or their canonical counterparts and directly assayed their mRNA targets. These studies showed substantial overlap in functional mRNA networks suppressed by both canonical miRNAs and their isomiRs. Together, these results find isomiRs to be biologically relevant and functionally synergistic partners of canonical miRNAs that act coordinately to target pathways of functionally related genes. This work exposes the complexity of the miRNA-transcriptome, and helps explain a major miRNA paradox: how specific regulation of biological processes can occur with predominantly non-specific miRNA-mRNA interactions. HEK293T cells were transfected with biotinylated miRNAs (either mir-10a-iso, mir-10a, mir-10b-iso or mir-10b) or a mock control. The miRNAs and target mRNA were pulled down with streptavidin. The pulled down RNA was hybridised to Illumina microarrays. The miRNA-Seq data have been submitted to the short read archive under SRA number SRP006043: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra?term= SRP006043

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein (HBc) plays many roles in the HBV life cycle such as regulation of transcription, RNA encapsidation, reverse transcription and viral release. To accomplish these functions, HBc interacts with many host proteins and undergoes different posttranslational modifications (PTMs). One of the most common PTM is ubiquitination that was shown to change function, stability, and intracellular localization of different viral proteins, but the role of HBc ubiquitination in the HBV life cycle remains unknown. Here, we found that HBc protein is posttranslationally modified through K29-linked ubiquitination. We performed a series of co-immunoprecipitation experiments with wild type HBc, lysine to arginine HBc mutants and wild type ubiquitin, single lysine to arginine ubiquitin mutants or single ubiquitin-accepting lysine constructs. We observed that HBc protein could be modified by ubiquitination in transfected as well as infected hepatoma cells. In addition, ubiquitination predominantly occurred on HBc lysine 7 and the preferred ubiquitin chain linkage was through ubiquitin-K29. Mass spectrometry (MS) analyses detected UBR5 as a potential E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in K29-linked ubiquitination. These findings emphasize that ubiquitination of HBc may play an important role in HBV life cycle.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical to proliferation, differentiation, and development. Here, we characterize gene expression in murine Dicer-null adult mesenchymal stem cell lines, a fibroblast cell type. Loss of Dicer leads to de-repression of let-7 targets at levels that exceed 10-100 fold with increases in transcription. Direct and indirect targets of this miRNA belong to a mid-gestation embryonic program that encompasses known oncofetal genes as well as oncogenes not previously associated with an embryonic state. Surprisingly, this mid-gestation program represents a distinct period that occurs between the pluripotent state of the inner cell mass at embryonic day 3.5 and the induction of let-7, upon differentiation, at embryonic day 10.5. Within this mid-gestation program, we characterize the let-7 target Nr6a1, an embryonic transcriptional repressor that regulates gene expression in adult fibroblasts following miRNA loss. In total, let-7 is required for the continual suppression of embryonic gene expression in adult cells, a mechanism that may underlie its tumor suppressive function. mRNAs from adult mesenchymal stem cells (immortalized monoclonal lines of murine MSCs) with and without Dicer (WT: Dicer f/f, KO: Dicer -/-), were analyzed. WT and KO cells were transfected with a nontargeting control siRNA. KO cells were separately transfected with a synthetic let-7g siRNA duplex, or an siRNA targeting Nr6a1.
