Project description:We performed RNAi knockdown experiments on 7 different signal transduction components of the Wnt pathway in HCT116 colon cancer cells and prepared RNA libraries from the poly-adenylated fraction of the RNA. SOLiD sequencing of strand-specific, barcoded transcriptome libraries yielded expression profiles allowing us to extract common pathway signatures and enabeling us to perform susequent nested effects modelling. the resulting pathway models yields new insight in the pathway topology in colon cancer.

Project description:We used RNA sequencing to analyze transcript profiles of ten autopsy brain regions from ten subjects. RNA sequencing techniques were designed to detect both coding and non-coding RNA, splice isoform composition, and allelic expression. Brain regions were selected from five subjects with a documented history of smoking and five non-smokers. Paired-end RNA sequencing was performed on SOLiD instruments to a depth of >40 million reads, using linearly amplified, ribosomally depleted RNA. 12 thousand protein coding and 2 thousand lncRNA transcripts were detectable at a conservative threshold. Of the aligned reads, 52% were exonic, 34% intronic and 14% intergenic. A majority of protein coding genes (65%) was expressed in all regions, whereas ncRNAs displayed a more restricted distribution. Profiles of RNA isoforms varied across brain regions and subjects at multiple gene loci, with neurexin 3 (NRXN3) a prominent example. Allelic RNA ratios deviating from unity were identified in > 400 genes, detectable in both protein-coding and non-coding genes, indicating the presence of cis-acting regulatory variants. RNA sequencing identifies distinct and consistent differences in gene expression between brain regions, with non-coding RNA displaying greater diversity between brain regions than mRNAs. Numerous RNAs exhibit robust allele selective expression, proving a means for discovery of cis-acting regulatory factors with potential clinical relevance. Sequenced whole transcriptomes of 10 brain regions from 10 individuals, 5 smokers and 5 nonsmokers

Project description:Drug target identification is a critical step towards the understanding of the mechanism of action of a drug, which will help to improve the current therapeutic regime and to expand the drug’s therapeutic potential. However, current in vitro affinity chromatography-based and in vivo activity- based protein profiling (ABPP) approaches generally face difficulties discriminating specific drug targets from non-specific ones. Here we describe a novel approach combining isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) with Clickable ABPP, named ICABPP, to specifically and comprehensively identify the protein targets of andrographolide (Andro), a natural product with known anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effects, in live cancer cells. We identified a spectrum of specific targets of Andro, which furthered our understanding of the mechanism of action of the drug. We found that Andro has a potential novel application as the tumor metastasis inhibitor, which was validated through cell migration and invasion assays. Moreover, we have unveiled the target binding mechanism of Andro with a combination of drug analogue synthesis, protein engineering and mass spectrometry-based approaches and determined the drug-binding sites of two protein targets, NF-kappaB and actin.

Project description:Human papillomaviruses (HPV) preferentially infect keratinocytes of mucous membranes or skin and cause numerous benign and malignant lesions at different anatomical locations. A number of DNA viruses encode their own miRNAs as well. To date, no studies have been able to validate viral miRNAs in papillomavirus infected cells using standard sequencing or next generation sequencing techniques. We sequenced small RNA (sRNA) libraries of two HPV 16 immortalized cell lines, HPK IA and HPK II, and ten formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples from HPV infected cervical epithelium by SOLiD 4 technology. We used the miRSeqNovel software, to predict novel miRNAs and their likely pre-miRNAs. We further validated (qRT-PCR, northern blotting and in situ hybridization) the candidate miRNAs in a number of tissue samples from HPV associated cervical disease and also in HPV 16 positive cell lines CaSki and SiHa. Altogether nine candidate microRNAs were identified. The expression of four out of five studied miRNAs was confirmed in human tissue or human epithelial cell lines harboring HPV 16. Small RNA (sRNA) libraries of two HPV 16 immortalized cell lines, HPK IA and HPK II, and ten formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples from HPV infected cervical epithelium, were made according to SOLiD sequencing instructions.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the Arabidopsis homologue of PRMT5, AtPRMT5M-bM-^@M-^Ys function in RNA processing. RNA-seq analyses revealed that AtPRMT5 is involved in a subset of pre-mRNA splicing. Several RNA processing factors involved in regulating flowering time were validated that the corresponding intron retention surely exists in atprmt5 mutants. AtSm proteins can also be methylated by AtPRMT5 in vitro and in vivo, which may be the reasons for the pre-mRNA splicing defects in atprmt5.

Project description:The covalent attachment of methyl groups to the side-chain of arginine residues is known to play essential roles in regulation of transcription, protein function and RNA metabolism. The specific N-methylation of arginine residues is catalyzed by a small family of gene products known as protein arginine methyltransferases; however, very little is known about which arginine residues become methylated on target substrates. Here we describe an unbiased methodology that combines single-step immunoenrichment of methylated peptides with high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify endogenous arginine mono-methylation (MMA) sites. We thereby identify 1,027 site-specific MMA sites on 494 human proteins, discovering numerous novel mono-methylation targets and confirming the majority of currently known MMA substrates. Nuclear RNA-binding proteins involved in RNA processing, RNA localization, transcription, and chromatin remodeling are prominently found modified with MMA. Despite this, MMA sites prominently are located outside RNA-binding domains as compared to the proteome-wide distribution of arginine residues. Quantification of arginine methylation in cells treated with Actinomycin D uncovers strong site-specific regulation of MMA sites during transcriptional arrest. Interestingly, several MMA sites are down-regulated after a few hours of under transcriptional arrest. In contrast, the corresponding di-methylation or protein expression level is not altered in expression, confirming that MMA sites contain regulated functions on their own. Collectively, we present a site-specific MMA dataset in human cells and demonstrate for the first time that MMA is a dynamic post-translational modification regulated during transcriptional arrest by a hitherto uncharacterized arginine demethylase. Data analysis: All raw data analysis was performed with MaxQuant software suite version 1.2.6.20 supported by the Andromeda search engine. Data was searched against a concatenated target/decoy (forward and reversed) version of the UniProtKB Human database encompassing 71,434 protein entries. Mass tolerance for searches was set to maximum 7 ppm for peptide masses and 20 ppm for HCD fragment ion masses. Data was searched with carbamidomethylation as a fixed modification and protein N-terminal acetylation, methionine oxidation and mono-methylation on lysine and arginine as variable modifications. A maximum of three mis-cleavages was allowed while requiring strict trypsin specificity, and only peptides with a minimum sequence length of seven were considered for further data analysis. Peptide assignments were statistically evaluated in a Bayesian model on the basis of sequence length and Andromeda score. Only peptides and proteins with a false discovery rate (FDR) of less than 1% were accepted, estimated on the basis of the number of accepted reverse hits. Protein sequences of common contaminants such as human keratins and proteases used were added to the database.

Project description:Arachidonic acid metabolites epoxyeicosatrienoates (EETs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoates (HETEs) are important regulators of myocardial blood flow and coronary vascular resistance (CVR), but their mechanisms of action are not fully understood. We identified G protein-coupled receptor 39 (GPR39) as a microvascular smooth muscle cell (mVSMC) receptor antagonistically regulated by two endogenous eicosanoids: 15-HETE, which stimulates GPR39 to increase mVSMC intracellular calcium and augment microvascular CVR, and 14,15-EET, which inhibits these actions. Furthermore, zinc ion acts as an allosteric modulator of GPR39 to potentiate the efficacy of the two ligands. The study elucidates the roles of eicosanoids in cardiovascular physiology and disease and provide an opportunity for the development of novel GPR39-targeting therapies for cardiovascular disease.

Project description:To determine the global impact of the clbn mutation on gene expression and efficiency of U2- and U12-type splicing, we analyzed the transcriptome of 108hpf wt and clbn mutant larvae by microarrays and RNA sequencing. RNAseq data was used to characterize intron retention of U2-type and U12-type intron on a genome-wide scale to confirm that rnpc3 deficiency specifically impairs U12-type splicing. RNAseq and microarray data were combined to yield high-confidence lists of differentially expressed genes which show that impaired U12-type splicing has a wide-ranging effect on the developing transcriptome. RNAseq libraries prepared from 108 hours post-fertilization zebrafish larvae (approx. 60 embryos each, genotyped homozygous wildtype and homozygous clbns841 mutants, respectively)
