The long non-coding RNA Paupar regulates the expression of both local and distal genes [CHART-seq]

ABSTRACT: Although some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to regulate gene expression in cis, it remains unclear whether lncRNAs can directly regulate transcription in trans by interacting with chromatin genome-wide independently of their sites of synthesis. Here, we describe the genomically local and more distal functions of Paupar, a vertebrate-conserved and central nervous system-expressed lncRNA transcribed from a locus upstream of the gene encoding the Pax6 transcription factor. Knockdown of Paupar disrupts the normal cell cycle profile of neuroblastoma cells and induces neuronal differentiation. Paupar acts in a transcript-dependent manner both locally, to regulate Pax6, as well as distally by binding and regulating genes on multiple chromosomes, in part through physical association with Pax6 protein. Paupar binding sites are enriched near promoters and can function as transcriptional regulatory elements whose activity is modulated by Paupar transcript levels. Our findings demonstrate that a lncRNA can function in trans at transcriptional regulatory elements distinct from its site of synthesis to control large-scale transcriptional programmes. The genome-wide binding profile of Paupar was determined using Capture Hybridisation Analysis of RNA Targets (CHART)-Seq technique (Simon et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108: 20497-20502, 2011) in N2A cells. Following the CHART-seq protocol, we used RNase H elution to recover genomic DNA associated with endogenous Paupar transcripts and genomic DNA associated with a control oligonucleotide (corresponding to the E.coli LacZ sequence). We identified Paupar binding sites in comparison both to DNA recovered using the control LacZ oligonucleotide and to an input DNA sample from N2A cells.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of chromatin; however, the mechanistic roles for many lncRNAs are poorly understood in part because their direct interactions with genomic loci and proteins are difficult to assess. We used CHART-seq to map the genomic binding sites for two highly expressed human lncRNAs, NEAT1 and MALAT1, which localize within the nucleus to paraspeckles and nuclear speckles, respectively. We show that NEAT1 and MALAT1 localize to hundreds of genomic sites in human cells, primarily over active genes. NEAT1 and MALAT1 exhibit colocalization to many of these loci, but display distinct gene body binding patterns at these sites, suggesting independent but complementary functions for these RNAs. Protein mass spectrometry analysis of CHART-enriched material (CHART-MS) identified numerous proteins enriched by both lncRNAs, supporting complementary binding and function, in addition to unique associated proteins. Transcriptional inhibition or stimulation affects the localization of NEAT1 to active chromatin sites, implying that DNA sequence itself does not target NEAT1 to chromatin and that localization responds to cues involved in the transcription process. Paired-end CHART-seq was performed for a single replicate of each capture oligonucleotide in untreated MCF-7 cells to establish binding sites of these RNAs, for a total of 6 samples. To investigate the effects of transcriptional inhibition and E2 stimulation on the localization of these RNAs, we performed paired-end CHART-seq with each capture oligonucleotide for two biological replicates of flavopiridol- and vehicle (DMSO)-treated MCF-7 cells and for two biological replicates of E2- and vehicle (ethanol)-treated MCF-7 cells. To establish the overlap of NEAT1 and MALAT1 binding sites with a known component of paraspeckles (NEAT1-containing subnuclear body), we performed paired-end ChIP-seq for the paraspeckle component PSF in MCF-7 cells, as well as a single-end biological replicate.
