RNAi knock-down of CAF1-CCR4-NOT1 deadenylase complex or AGO1 in D. melanogaster S2 cells

ABSTRACT: miRNAs silence gene expression by repressing translation and/or by promoting mRNA decay. AGO1 is a key protein required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing. In animal cells, mRNA degradation of partially complementary miRNA targets occurs via deadenylation by the CAF1-CCR4-NOT1 deadenylase complex, followed by decapping and subsequent exonucleolytic digestion. To determine how generally miRNAs trigger deadenylation, we compared mRNA expression profiles in D. melanogaster cells depleted of AGO1, CAF1 or NOT1. We show that approximately 45% of AGO1-targets are regulated by both CAF1 and NOT1, indicating deadenylation is a widespread effect of miRNA regulation.

We employed RNA interference using long double-stranded RNAs to deplete cultured S2 cells of AGO1 (CG6671, 2 independent samples), CAF1 (CG5684, 2 independent samples), or NOT1 (CG1884, 3 independent samples). Further, we used Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays to analyze expression profiles in these samples. We included the following controls: mock RNAi treatment and GFP dsRNA treatment (3 and 2 independent samples, respectively).

Project description:Leishmania donovani, an intracellular protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis or kala-azar, the most severe form of leishmaniasis in humans. To date, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with the pathogenicity of Leishmania infection is still limited. RNA interference—collectively RNA silencing pathways—participates in the regulation of various biological processes in most eukaryotic cells. Complexes of Argonaute proteins with small RNAs are core components of the RNA interference system and play a key role in silencing gene expression. It is becoming increasingly clear that several intracellular pathogens target host cell RNA interference pathways to promote their survival. In this study, we investigated the potential role of host macrophage Argonautes in Leishmania pathogenesis. Western blot analysis showed that protein abundance of infected macrophage Argonaute 1 (Ago1) was selectively and significantly higher than that of non-infected control at 24 h post-infection, suggesting that Ago1 plays a role in pathogenicity. In fact, siRNA-mediated downregulation of Ago1 enhanced Leishmania clearance from infected host cells, linking macrophage Ago1 to Leishmania virulence. To investigate the mechanisms of host Ago1 in Leishmania pathogenesis, a stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-based whole proteome approach was employed, which showed that expression of several previously reported Leishmania pathogenesis-related proteins were dependent on the level of macrophage Ago1. Moreover, the proteomic-based detailed biochemical analysis showed that Leishmania modulated host RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) composition during infection, strongly suggesting macrophage RISC targeting. Strikingly, Leishmania proteins were detected as part of host RISC in infected cells. Together, our results demonstrate that Leishmania targets host RNA interference machinery to promote its survival inside the host macrophage.
