UPF2 establishes testis-specific transcriptome enriched in transcripts with shorter 3’UTRs

ABSTRACT: This report not only adds a novel mechanism to the current dogma on achieving global shortening of 3'UTRs, but also unveils a novel function of the NMD pathway in establishing tissue-specific transcriptome identity We first generated prospermatogonia-specific Upf2 conditional knockout mice (Ddx4-Cre; Upf2 fl/Δ, hereafter called Ddx4-KO) by crossing Ddx4-Cre13 with Upf2 floxed.

UPF2-Dependent Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Pathway Is Essential for Spermatogenesis by Selectively Eliminating Longer 3'UTR Transcripts.

Bao Jianqiang J Vitting-Seerup Kristoffer K Waage Johannes J Tang Chong C Ge Ying Y Porse Bo T BT Yan Wei W

PLoS genetics 20160505 5

During transcription, most eukaryotic genes generate multiple alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) sites, leading to the production of transcript isoforms with variable lengths in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). In contrast to somatic cells, male germ cells, especially pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids, express a distinct reservoir of mRNAs with shorter 3'UTRs that are essential for spermatogenesis and male fertility. However, the mechanisms underlying the enrichment of ...[more]

Upf2 in NMD pathway

Project description:Purpose: Probe the transcriptome-wide changes in the expression pattern between WT and Sertoli-specific Upf2 KO testes Methods: Total RNA were extracted from WT and Sertoli-specific Upf2 KO testes in triplicates and subject to deep-sequencing in Ion Torrent seq platform. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified 16,014 transcripts in the retinas of WT and Nrl−/− mice with BWA workflow and 34,115 transcripts with TopHat workflow. RNA-seq data confirmed stable expression of 25 known housekeeping genes, and 12 of these were validated with qRT–PCR. RNA-seq data had a linear relationship with qRT–PCR for more than four orders of magnitude and a goodness of fit (R2) of 0.8798. Approximately 10% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the WT and Nrl−/− retina, with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value <0.05. Altered expression of 25 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR, demonstrating the high degree of sensitivity of the RNA-seq method. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered several as yet uncharacterized genes that may contribute to retinal function. Data analysis with BWA and TopHat workflows revealed a significant overlap yet provided complementary insights in transcriptome profiling. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Upf2-mediated NMD pathway in Sertoli cell development Testis mRNA profiling was generated from postnatal day 4 WT and Amh-cKO (Sertoli specific Upf2 KO) testes, in triplicates.

RNA sequencing of blastocyst-stage mouse embryos in the presence or absence of RNA decay activator UPF2

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare transcriptome profiles of whole blastocysts in the presence or absence of UPF2, via an approach optimized for low-input samples. Methods: Blastocyst mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) and Upf2 knockout (Upf2−/−) mice were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with DESeq2 and with IsoformSwitchAnalyzeR. Results: We identified transcripts targeted for decay by UPF2 and the NMD pathway in the blastocyst via multiple methods. We found that NMD regulates a cohort of RNAs involved in cell survival.

Upf2-mediated inhibition of nonsense mediated decay causes memory and social deficits by activating the immune response

Project description:Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is an evolutionarily conserved surveillance mechanism that targets mRNAs undergoing premature translation termination for rapid degradation as well as normal physiological transcripts. From yeast to humans, NMD requires the function of three conserved Up-frameshift (Upf) factors (Upf1, Upf2, Upf3). Interestingly, in humans, mutations in UPF2 and UPF3B are associated with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the neurobiological mechanism by which deficient NMD leads to neurodevelopmental disorders remains unknown. Consequently, no treatment is currently available. Here we report that mice lacking Upf2 in the murine forebrain (Upf2 fb-KO mice) show endophenotypes associated with ASD and deficits in learning and memory. In addition, Upf2-mediated deficient NMD leads to abnormal long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Like patients with mutations in UPF2, Upf2 fb-KO mice showed neuroanatomical abnormalities including a smaller corpus callosum. Surprisingly, transcriptomic analysis revealed elevated mRNA expression of immune-related genes in the hippocampus of Upf2-fb-KO mice, which was accompanied by increased inflammation and progressive infiltration of peripheral immune cells. More importantly, treatment with an FDA-approved immunosuppressant, cyclophosphamide (CyP), significantly reduces brain inflammation, improves the neuroanatomical defects and the deficits in LTP and memory deficits, and reverses some of the ASD-like behaviors, notably the social deficits. Collectively, our results reveal the biological basis underlying neurodevelopmental disorders associated with dysfunctional NMD. Moreover, these findings suggest that immunosuppressant drugs, like CyP, may provide a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of patients with mutations in core NMD components.

Upf2 loss of function effects

Project description:RNA was isolated from Upf225G/Y; Btl-GAL4, UAS-GFP/+ and y w FRT19A/ Y; Btl-GAL4, UAS-GFP/+ L3 larvae using Trizol as described in Materials and Methods, cDNA labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 was prepared from each RNA sample and hybridized to microarrays containing ~14,000 gene probes covering the entire Drosophila genome (Gerber et al. 2006). Hybridizations were performed with two independently isolated and labeled RNA samples. Analysis was carried out using the Stanford Microarray Database (http://genome-www5.stanford.edu/ ). During analysis we noted that the Upf225G mutants were delayed in development. To avoid confounding effects of changes in gene expression that result from developmental regulation rather than more direct effects of Upf2 loss of function, we used the available wild- type developmental gene expression time course (Arbeitman et al. 2002) to filter out genes whose transcription changes more than 25% from their maximal value during 72-96 hrs of larval development. The wild-type data set includes ~33% of genes, and we used just this subset for our analysis. Furthermore, the wild-type data set is for mixed sex populations, while our microarray was performed only on males. To compensate for sex differences, we also excluded from analysis genes that differed between males and females by more than 50% based on data from male and female larvae (E. Johnson and M.A.K., unpublished). Our analysis of genes regulated by NMD is therefore conservative, covering only non-developmentally regulated and non-sex regulated genes whose expression was affected by a hypomorphic Upf2 allele, and thus provides only a lower estimate on genes regulated by NMD.

Genes co-regulated by the NMD factors UPF2 and SMG5

Project description:Eukaryotic cells have evolved a mechanism called nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) that detects and degrades aberrant mRNAs that contain premature termination codons (PTCs). NMD has recently acquired broader importance as it has been found to regulate not only aberrant mRNAs but also a great diversity of transcripts, including wild type genes in mammals, Drosophila and yeast. Seven proteins are the core of the NMD complex: SMG1, SMG2 (UPF1), SMG3 (UPF2), SMG4 (UPF3), SMG5, SMG6 and SMG7. Plants have orthologues of most of these proteins. We have identified and characterized a number of alleles of UPF1, UPF3 and SMG5 and made 35S:UPF2 RNAi (upf2i) transgenic plants, all of which share some phenotypic characteristics. Transcriptome analysis of upf1 and upf3 mutants has identified a subset of genes coregulated by UPF1 and UPF3 and, therefore, by NMD (unpublished data). By doing further transcriptome analysis on smg5 mutants and upf2i plants we aim to build a more robust subset of NMD targets in Arabidopsis. RNA will be extracted from 17 day-old mutant, transgenic and wild type seedlings grown at 22-24 C under constant light.
