Orchestrated intron retention regulates normal granulocyte differentiation [RNA-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Using mRNA-seq, we determined intron retaining genes that were differentially regulated in FACS purified cells at three progressive stages of mouse granulopoiesis; CD34+Kit+Gr-1low promyelocytes, CD34-Kit-Gr-1mid myelocytes and CD34-Kit-Gr-1high granulocytes. We found that IR affects 86 genes, including those specific to granulocyte (Lyz2 and MMP8) and nuclear architecture (Lmnb1 and Lbr). IR was associated with the decrease in protein levels measured by mass spectrometry (P=0.0015, binomial test). There was a significant overlap of IR between human and mouse (P=2.85E-22, hypergeometric test), showing that IR is conserved.Inhibition of NMD in granulocytes resulted in marked accumulation of 39/86 intron retaining mRNAs (P<0.05, RUV procedure with Holm-Bonferroni correction), indicating that IR triggers NMD to downregulate mRNA and protein expression.
