Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small, endogenous RNAs that regulate the expression of mRNAs posttranscriptionally. Evolutionarily new miRNAs, like new protein-coding genes, are dominantly expressed in reproductive organs. To dissect the evolutionary dynamics of new miRNAs in Drosophila spp, we sequenced small RNAs from two species of Drosophila, including four samples from reproductive organs and one sample from imaginal discs / CNS. miRNA expression profile shows vast majority of new miRNAs are specifically expressed in testes and/or ovaries, suggesting a role of sexual selection for new miRNA evolution.

Project description:As the fetal heart develops, cardiomyocyte proliferation potential decreases while fatty acid oxidative capacity increases, a highly regulated transition known as cardiac maturation. Small noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), contribute to the establishment and control of tissue-specific transcriptional programs. However, small RNA expression dynamics and genome wide miRNA regulatory networks controlling maturation of the human fetal heart remain poorly understood. Transcriptome profiling of small RNAs revealed the temporal expression patterns of miRNA, piRNA, circRNA, snoRNA, snRNA and tRNA in the developing human heart between 8 and 19 weeks of gestation. Our analysis revealed that miRNAs were the most dynamically expressed small RNA species throughout mid-gestation. Cross-referencing differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs predicted 6,200 mRNA targets, 2134 of which were upregulated and 4066 downregulated as gestation progresses. Moreover, we found that downregulated targets of upregulated miRNAs predominantly control cell cycle progression, while upregulated targets of downregulated miRNAs are linked to energy sensing and oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, integration of miRNA and mRNA profiles with proteomes and reporter metabolites revealed that proteins encoded in mRNA targets, and their associated metabolites, mediate fatty acid oxidation and are enriched as the heart develops.This study revealed the small RNAome of the maturing human fetal heart. Furthermore, our findings suggest that coordinated activation and repression of miRNA expression throughout mid-gestation is essential to establish a dynamic miRNA-mRNA-protein network that decreases cardiomyocyte proliferation potential while increasing the oxidative capacity of the maturing human fetal heart.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs involved in the coordination and/or fine-tuning of gene expression. As such, miRNAs are thought to be critical cis-acting regulatory factors that control a wide range of physiological processes in the brain. The datasets presented here represent the miRNA transcriptome of the adult and larval Drosophila melanogaster CNS as determined by small RNA deep sequencing (RNA-Seq). They were derived from adult and larval samples explanted from the animal that contain minimal extraneous (non-neuronal) tissues. Here we present a concise summary of our profiling results as well as the original sequencing data. We identify many miRNAs that are expressed at equal levels in both tissues and several that are significantly enriched in the larval and adult brain. Some of these belong to miRNA families with conserved members in mammals. These datasets should provide a good starting point for others interested in characterizing miRNAs with putative functions in Drosophila neurons. The datasets presented here represent the miRNA transcriptome of the adult and larval Drosophila melanogaster CNS as determined by small RNA deep sequencing (RNA-Seq).

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that derive from distinctive hairpin transcripts. To learn more about the miRNAs of mammals, we sequenced 60 million small RNAs from mouse brain, ovary, testes, embryonic stem cells, three embryonic stages, and whole newborns. Analysis of these sequences confirmed 387 annotated miRNA genes and identified 110 novel miRNA genes. Over 150 previously annotated miRNAs and hundreds of candidates failed to yield sequenced RNAs with miRNA-like features. Ectopically expressing these previously proposed miRNA hairpins also did not yield small RNAs, whereas ectopically expressing the confirmed and newly identified hairpins usually did yield small RNAs with the classical miRNA features, including dependence on the Drosha endonuclease for processing. These experiments, which suggest that previous estimates of conserved mammalian miRNAs were inflated, provide a substantially revised list of confidently identified mammalian miRNAs from which to infer the general features of mammalian miRNAs. Our analyses also revealed new aspects of miRNA biogenesis and modification, including tissue-specific strand preferences, sequential Dicer cleavage of a metazoan pre-miRNA, newly identified instances of miRNA editing, and evidence for widespread Lin28-like miRNA regulation. For miRNA discovery, small RNAs were sequenced from mouse brain, ovary, testes, three embryonic stages, and whole newborns; for ectopic over-expression assays, pre-miRNA hairpins and the surrounding regions were transfected into HEK293T, and the small RNA were sequenced from the transfected cells 39-48 hours after transfection.

Project description:In plants, non-coding small RNAs play a vital role for plant development and stress responses. To explore the possible role of non-coding small RNAs in the regulation of the jasmonate (JA) pathway, we compared the non-coding small RNAs between the JA-deficient aos mutant and the JA-treated wild type Arabidopsis via high-throughput sequencing. 30 new miRNAs and 27 new miRNA candidates were identified through a bioinformatics approach. 49 known miRNAs (belonging to 24 families), 15 new miRNAs and new miRNA candidates (belonging to 11 families) and 3 tasiRNA families were induced by JA, whereas 1 new miRNA, 1 tasiRNA family and 22 known miRNAs (belonging to 9 families) were repressed by JA.

Project description:It has previously been assumed that the generally high stability of microRNAs (miRNAs) reflects their tight association with Argonaute (Ago) proteins, essential components of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, recent data have suggested that the majority of mature miRNAs are not, in fact, Ago associated. Here, we demonstrate that endogenous human miRNAs vary widely, by >100-fold, in their level of RISC association and show that the level of Ago binding is a better indicator of inhibitory potential than is the total level of miRNA expression. While miRNAs of closely similar sequence showed comparable levels of RISC association in the same cell line, these varied between different cell types. Moreover, the level of RISC association could be modulated by overexpression of complementary target mRNAs. Together, these data indicate that the level of RISC association of a given endogenous miRNA is regulated by the available RNA targetome and predicts miRNA function. This series includes microRNA sequencing data for human cell lines 293, C8166, A549, SH-SY5Y, and an EBV-transformed LCL line. For each cell line, total small RNA isolated by TRIzol was sequenced for comparison to RISC-associated microRNAs as determined by sequencing small RNAs from an Argonaute immunoprecipitation.

Project description:Genetic and epigenetic regulations, mostly driven by small non-coding RNAs, play a crucial role to define genetic programming in plant biology and development. In this work, we focus on miRNAs, the most representative class of small RNAs, to present the first comprehensive miRNA expression atlas in Vitis vinifera L. Our atlas gives a clear picture of miRNA regulation and homeostasis in the whole plant during its lifecycle. We analyzed 68 small RNA libraries, which were prepared from a rich and diverse number of tissues (13) harvested on different developmental stages. We identified 110 known miRNAs and annotated 176 novel, some of which belonging to known families and others completely new. We found that very few miRNAs may be defined as tissue specific. However, interestingly, in the stamen 22 miRNAs were found highly specific. Most of the identified miRNAs show low expression levels, whereas, 32 miRNAs are present in all tissues and mainly highly expressed. Additionally, in each organ, the different developmental stages share 30—70% of miRNAs and their modulation leads the regulation of plant development. We also present a target prediction analysis and suggest a first functional description of hundreds of miRNAs. Our findings represent the most complete expression atlas for grapevine and any other woody species, paving the ground for future functional studies. Genome-wide small RNA profiling was done by Illumina TruSeq sample preparation and Illumina Small RNA Sample Prep kit followed by high-throughput sequencing with Illumina HiSeq 2000 and GA IIx Illumina Sequencer platforms for 13 different organs/tissues of grapevine in different developmental stages, with two replicates each, comprising a total of 70 samples

Project description:During early vertebrate development, a large number of noncoding RNAs are maternally inherited or expressed upon activation of zygotic transcription. The exact identity, expression levels, and function during early vertebrate development for most of these noncoding RNAs remains largely unknown. miRNAs (microRNAs) and piRNAs (piwi-interacting RNAs) are two classes of small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in gene regulation during early embryonic development. Here, we utilized Illumina next generation sequencing technology to determine temporal expression patterns for both miRNAs and piRNAs during four distinct stages of early vertebrate development using zebrafish as a model system. For miRNAs, the expression patterns for 192 known miRNAs and 12 novel miRNAs within 123 different miRNA families were determined. Significant sequence variation was observed at the 5' and 3' ends of miRNAs with a large number of extra nucleotides added in a non-template directed manner. We also identified a large and diverse set of piRNAs expressed during early development, far beyond that expected if piRNA expression is restricted to germ cells. Our analyses represent the deepest investigation to date of small RNA expression during early vertebrate development and suggest important novel functions for small RNAs during embryogenesis.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify the miRNA clusters that are regulated by EGFR under normoxia or hypoxia. Method: Total RNAs were extracted from HeLa cells expressing scrambled control or EGFR shRNA-E1 that cultured under normoxia or hypoxia (1% O2) for 24h. Customized Next-Generation RNA deep sequencing, including both small RNA application and whole transcriptome analysis, was performed according to the standard procedure instructed by Applied Biosystems. For small RNA analysis, library inserts were size selected between 18 and 40nts and analyzed using CLC Genomics Workbench 4.7.1. 35nt colorspace reads were trimmed of adaptor sequence and mapped against human pre-miR sequences (miRBase version 16.0). Values of reads per million mapped reads (RPM) were based on mapped reads with no more than 2 mismatches total. A read was considered to come from a mature miRNA if it mapped to pre-miRNA sequences with no more than three upstream or downstream bases, and missing no more than two upstream or downstream bases from predicted mature or mature* sequences as defined in miRBase version 16.0. All the other pre-miRNA mapped reads were assigned as pre-miRNA signal. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: Deep sequencing analysis identified specific miRNA clusters that their maturation (miRNA processing efficacy was reflected by the relative expression of precursor miRNAs affected by EGFR compared with the relative expression of mature miRNAs affected by EGFR) were regulated by EGFR under normixa or specifically in response to hypoxia. Top miRNA candidates that regulated by EGFR in response to hypoxia were further verified by TaqMan and SYBR Green qRT-PCR assays. Conclusion: Next-Generation Deep Sequencing for small RNA analysis revealed a novel function of EGFR involved in miRNA maturation in response to hypoxic stress. RNA profiles of HeLa cells expressing scrambled control (S) or EGFR shRNA-E1 (A1) that cultured under normoxia or hypoxia (1% O2) for 24h were generated by AB SOLiD next-generation sequencing. S: HeLa expressing scrambled control cultured under normoxia; A1: HeLa expressing EGFR shRNA-E1 cultured under normoxia; HS: HeLa expressing scrambled control cultured under hypoxia for 24h; HA1: HeLa expressing EGFR shRNA-E1 cultured under hypoxia for 24h. In total, 4 biological samples with no replicates resulted in 4 small RNA profiles.
