Project description:RBM10 is an RNA binding protein that was identified as a component of spliceosome complex, suggesting its potential role in splicing regulation. However, the direct experimental evidence for this function has been lacking. Here we characterized in vivo RBM10-RNA interactions and investigated the role of RBM10 in splicing regulation at the global level. We observed significant RBM10-RNA interactions in the vicinity of splice sites and identified hundreds of splicing changes following perturbation of cellular RBM10 abundance. A RNA splicing map integrating the binding pattern and splicing profiles revealed a significant correlation between RBM10-enhanced exon skipping events and its binding close to the splicing sites of both upstream and downstream introns. Furthermore, we demonstrated the splicing defects in a patient carrying a RBM10 mutation. Overall, our data provided insights into the mechanistic model of RBM10-mediated splicing regulation and established genomic resources for future studies on its function in different pathophysiological contexts. We sequenced the mRNA of HEK293 cells and LCL cells, and we determined the RBM10 binding sites using PARCLIP in HEK293 cells. In total we sequenced four mRNA-Seq libraries for KD and two for OE in HEK293 cells; for each of these libraries, we also sequenced one control library. We also sequenced the mRNA of one patient LCL and two normal LCL libraries. Two replicates of PARCLIP sequencing were perfomed.
Project description:RNA-seq in isogenic RBM10-proficient and RBM10-deficient cells derived from lung adenocarcinoma cell lines HCC827 (parental and RBM10 knockout; control siRNA and RBM10 siRNA) and NCI-H1299 (parental and RBM10 knockout).
Project description:RBM5, a regulator of alternative splicing of apoptotic genes, and its close homologues, RBM6 and RBM10, are RNA binding proteins frequently deleted or mutated in lung cancer. We report that RBM5/6 and RBM10 antagonistically regulate the proliferative capacity of cancer cells and display distinct positional effects in alternative splicing regulation. We identify the Notch pathway regulator NUMB as a key target of these factors in the control of cell proliferation. NUMB alternative splicing, which is frequently altered in lung cancer, can regulate colony and xenograft tumor formation and its modulation recapitulates or antagonizes the effects of RBM5, 6 and 10 in cell colony formation. RBM10 mutations identified in lung cancer cells disrupt NUMB splicing regulation to promote cell growth. Our results reveal a key genetic circuit in the control of cancer cell proliferation. RNA from 3 biological replicates of knockdowns of RBM5, 6 and 10 and a control set were used. Changes between the control and knockdowns were measured based on using a splice-junction array (Affymetrix HJAY).

Project description:The discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989 revealed the virus as the etiology of 40%-90% of the “essential” mixed cryoglobulinemia, where immune complex forms deposit called cryoprecipitate at temperatures below 37 °C. Cryoprecipitate constitutes monoclonal IgM and polyclonal IgG, some of which has reactivity against HCV core and NS3 epitopes. Resultant immune complex is considered entrapped on microvascular endothelium via C1q receptor, leading to complement activation and organ injury presenting predominantly as dermopathy, peripheral neuropathy and nephropathy. However, currently little is known on whether auto-reactive, cold-precipitating IgG components enriched in cryoprecipitate may play some role on the deposition of immune complex and subsequent complement-mediated injury of specific organs. Recently, with the advent of high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing and mass spectrometry, technical feasibility is growing to delineate antibodies of interest and their sequences directly from serum. To date, vast majority of studies actually utilized the antigen column for affinity purification of antibodies of interest, although this strategy is not applicable to disease entity with unknown antigen involvement. In such cases, disease-specific and organ-specific immune deposits may be a good alternative source of etiological antibodies. Herein, targeting HCV cryoglobulinemic vasculitis as a model, we conducted a proof-of-concept study aiming at characterizing the IgG components most prone to cryoprecipitation. To this end, we longitudinally studied one patient with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis with chronic HCV infection. After obtaining informed consent, cryoprecipitate and supernatant were separated from peripheral blood sample. Fab fragments from Protein G-purified IgG were recovered after papain digestion for isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomics. Simultaneously, total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood, and immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) was PCR-amplified with unique molecular identifier (UMI) strategy to construct a personal IGHV sequence library of immunoglobulin variable region. Sequencing output from MiSeq was bioinformatically converted into mass spectrometry database. Search was performed using MaxQuant software.
Project description:Mapping of RBM10-interactome using GFP-trap purification of EGFP-RBM10 expressed in HEK293T cells before and after WEE1 inhibition by MK1775. HEK293T expressing EGFP only or EGFP-RBM10 fusion (2 main isoforms) were left untreated or treated with 300nM MK1775 for 4 hours prior to GFP-trap enrichment and mass spectrometry analysis.
Project description:RBM5 and RBM10 are RNA-binding proteins and splicing regulators. These two proteins are putative paralogs in mammalian cells, sharing common domain organization and extensive protein sequence similarity, but their RNA-binding preferences differ. We developed a sensitive system to identify splicing events regulated by RBM5 and/or RBM10, deleting all RBM5 alleles in 293Flp-In cells, and reducing the expression of RBM10, which is partially rescued by activation of a cryptic exon (CE) in one of the RBM10 alleles. RBM5 or RBM10 transgenes were then introduced in these RBM5-null, RBM10 mutant cells (RBM5-/-;RBM10-/CE), allowing controlled protein expression, induced with Doxycycline. Using this system we identify thousands of RBM5 and RBM10-regulated cassette exons, and note a substantial overlap between the two sets.
