Alteration of processing induced by a single nucleotide polymorphism in pri-miR-126.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that inhibit expression of specific target genes at the post-transcriptional level. Sequence variations in miRNA genes, including pri-miRNAs, pre-miRNAs and mature miRNAs, could potentially influence the processing and/or target selection of miRNAs. In this study, we have found the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the twenty-fourth nucleotide (+24) of the mature miR-126 in the genome of RS4;11 cells, derived from a MLL-AF4 ALL patient. Through a series of in vivo analyzes, we found that this miR-126 SNP significantly blocks the processing of pri-miRNA to mature miRNA, as well as reduces miRNA-mediated translational suppression. Moreover, its frequency is different among races. Thus, our study emphasizes the importance of identifying new miRNA SNP and its contribution to miRNA biogenesis which is possible link to human genetic disease.

Human disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphism changes the orientation of DROSHA on pri-mir-146a.

Project description:The Microprocessor complex of DROSHA and DGCR8 initiates the biosynthesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) by processing primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs). The Microprocessor can be oriented on pri-miRNAs in opposite directions to generate productive and unproductive cleavages at their basal and apical junctions, respectively. However, only the productive cleavage gives rise to miRNAs. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs2910164) in pri-mir-146a is associated with various human diseases. Although this SNP was found to reduce the expression of miRNA, it is still not known if it affects the activity of the Microprocessor directly, and how it functions. In this study, we revealed that the SNP creates an unexpected mGHG motif at the apical junction of pri-mir-146a. This mGHG motif interacts with the double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD) of DROSHA, switching its orientation on pri-mir-146a from the basal to the apical junction. As a result, the SNP facilitates Microprocessor to cleave SNP-pri-mir-146a at its unproductive sites. Our findings help to elucidate the molecular mechanism that explains how the disease-associated SNP modulates the biogenesis of pri-mir-146a and thereby affects its cellular functions.

DGCR8-dependent efficient pri-miRNA processing of human pri-miR-9-2.

Project description:Microprocessor complex, including DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 8 (DGCR8) and DROSHA, recognizes and cleaves primary transcripts of microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) in the maturation of canonical miRNAs. The study of DGCR8 haploinsufficiency reveals that the efficiency of this activity varies for different miRNA species. It is thought that this variation might be associated with the risk of schizophrenia with 22q11 deletion syndrome caused by disruption of the DGCR8 gene. However, the underlying mechanism for varying action of DGCR8 with each miRNA remains largely unknown. Here, we used in vivo monitoring to measure the efficiency of DGCR8-dependent microprocessor activity in cultured cells. We confirmed that this system recapitulates the microprocessor activity of endogenous pri-miRNA with expression of a ratiometric fluorescence reporter. Using this system, we detected mir-9-2 as one of the most efficient targets. We also identified a novel DGCR8-responsive RNA element, which is highly conserved among mammalian species and could be regulated at epi-transcriptome (RNA modification) level. This unique feature between DGCR8 and pri-miR-9-2 processing may suggest a link to the risk of schizophrenia.

Pri-miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk.

Project description:MiR-124 functions as a tumor suppressor and plays an important role in tumorigenesis. A common polymorphism (rs531564, C>G) in the pri-miR-124 has been recently studied in connection with cancer risk. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pri-miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism and the risk and clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC). Two case-control studies involving 900 CRC patients and 1110 cancer-free controls showed that pri-miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism was significantly associated with the decreased risk of CRC in Xuzhou population [GG vs. CC: OR = 0.25, 95%CI = 0.09-0.67, P = 0.003; (CG+GG) vs. CC: OR = 0.73, 95%CI = 0.56-0.94, P = 0.01; GG vs. (CC+CG): OR = 0.27, 95%CI = 0.10-0.70, P = 0.004; G vs. C: OR = 0.70, 95%CI = 0.56-0.89, P = 0.003], Bengbu population [GG vs. CC: OR = 0.20, 95%CI = 0.04-0.90, P = 0.02; GG vs. (CC+CG): OR = 0.21, 95%CI = 0.05-0.95, P = 0.03; G vs. C: OR = 0.72, 95%CI = 0.54-0.98, P = 0.03] and pooled population [GG vs. CC: OR = 0.26, 95%CI = 0.11-0.59, P<0.001; (CG+GG) vs. CC: OR = 0.76, 95%CI = 0.62-0.93, P = 0.008; GG vs. (CC+CG): OR = 0.27, 95%CI = 0.12-0.62, P < 0.001; G vs. C: OR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.59-0.85, P<0.001]. Additionally, pri-miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism was significantly associated with the decreased risk of poor differentiation and lymph node metastasis of CRC. Our results suggest that pri-miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism may be a genetic modifier for developing CRC. However, further studies are needed to validate our findings.

Association between Pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphism and bladder cancer risk.

Project description:Several studies examined the impact of miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphism and cancer risk, but the findings are inconsistent. However, no study has been conducted to inspect the impact of miR-34b/c polymorphism on bladder cancer. This study aimed to assess possible association between rs4938723 polymorphism and bladder cancer risk. This case-control study was done on 136 pathologically proven bladder cancer patients and 144 controls. Genotyping of Pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphism was achieved by using the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Our findings did not show any statistically significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between bladder cancer and controls. Larger sample sizes with diverse ethnicities are required to validate our findings.

Determination of primary microRNA processing in clinical samples by targeted pri-miR-sequencing.

Project description:MicroRNA expression is important for gene regulation and deregulated microRNA expression is often observed in diseases such as cancer. The processing of primary microRNA transcripts is an important regulatory step in microRNA biogenesis. Due to low expression level and association with chromatin, primary microRNAs are challenging to study in clinical samples where input material is limited. Here, we present a high-sensitivity targeted method to determine processing efficiency of several hundred primary microRNAs from total RNA that requires relatively few RNA sequencing reads. We validate the method using RNA from HeLa cells and show the applicability to clinical samples by analyzing RNA from normal liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. We identify 24 primary microRNAs with significant changes in processing efficiency from normal liver to hepatocellular carcinoma, among those the highly expressed miRNA-122 and miRNA-21, demonstrating that differential processing of primary microRNAs is occurring and could be involved in disease. With our method presented here we provide means to study pri-miRNA processing in disease from clinical samples.

miR-126-3p is essential for CXCL12-induced angiogenesis.

Project description:Atherosclerosis, in the ultimate stage of cardiovascular diseases, causes an obstruction of vessels leading to ischemia and finally to necrosis. To restore vascularization and tissue regeneration, stimulation of angiogenesis is necessary. Chemokines and microRNAs (miR) were studied as pro-angiogenic agents. We analysed the miR-126/CXCL12 axis and compared impacts of both miR-126-3p and miR-126-5p strands effects in CXCL12-induced angiogenesis. Indeed, the two strands of miR-126 were previously shown to be active but were never compared together in the same experimental conditions regarding their differential functions in angiogenesis. In this study, we analysed the 2D-angiogenesis and the migration assays in HUVEC in vitro and in rat's aortic rings ex vivo, both transfected with premiR-126-3p/-5p or antimiR-126-3p/-5p strands and stimulated with CXCL12. First, we showed that CXCL12 had pro-angiogenic effects in vitro and ex vivo associated with overexpression of miR-126-3p in HUVEC and rat's aortas. Second, we showed that 2D-angiogenesis and migration induced by CXCL12 was abolished in vitro and ex vivo after miR-126-3p inhibition. Finally, we observed that SPRED-1 (one of miR-126-3p targets) was inhibited after CXCL12 treatment in HUVEC leading to improvement of CXCL12 pro-angiogenic potential in vitro. Our results proved for the first time: 1-the role of CXCL12 in modulation of miR-126 expression; 2-the involvement of miR-126 in CXCL12 pro-angiogenic effects; 3-the involvement of SPRED-1 in angiogenesis induced by miR-126/CXCL12 axis.

A single-nucleotide polymorphism of miR-146a and psoriasis: an association and functional study.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is overexpressed in psoriatic lesions, has been proven to contribute to the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes in psoriasis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in miRNAs that can regulate the expression of EGFR could potentially influence the development of psoriasis. The present study investigated the association between a functional SNP of rs2910164 in miR-146a and the risk of psoriasis in the Chinese Han population. A total of 521 Han Chinese patients with psoriasis and 582 healthy controls were recruited in this study. The miR-146a rs2910164 SNP was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Overall, a significantly increased risk of psoriasis was associated with the rs2910164 miR-146a CG and GG genotypes (adjusted OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.06-1.80). Furthermore, the rs2910164G allele in miR-146a attenuated its inhibitory regulation on the expression of EGFR as well as the proliferation of human keratinocytes, and lowered the level of miR-146a in the psoriatic lesions. These findings indicate that the rs2910164G allele in miR-146a weakens its suppression on the proliferation of keratinocytes probably through the decreased inhibition of the target gene, EGFR, which may account for the increased risk of psoriasis in this study population.

G-Quadruplexes influence pri-microRNA processing.

Project description:RNA G-Quadruplexes (G4) have been shown to possess many biological functions, including the regulation of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and function. However, their impact on pri-miRNA processing remains unknown. We identified G4 located near the Drosha cleavage site in three distinct pri-miRNAs: pri-mir200c, pri-mir451a, and pri-mir497. The folding of the potential G4 motifs was determined in solution. Subsequently, mutations disrupting G4 folding led to important changes in the mature miRNAs levels in cells. Moreover, using small antisense oligonucleotides binding to the pri-miRNA, it was possible to modulate, either positively or negatively, the mature miRNA levels. Together, these data demonstrate that G4 motifs could contribute to the regulation of pri-mRNA processing, a novel role for G4. Considering that bio-informatics screening indicates that between 9% and 50% of all pri-miRNAs contain a putative G4, these structures possess interesting potential as future therapeutic targets.

A novel assay for viral microRNA function identifies a single nucleotide polymorphism that affects Drosha processing.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of approximately 22-nucleotide noncoding RNAs that inhibit the expression of specific target genes at the posttranscriptional level. Recently, 11 miRNAs encoded by the pathogenic human herpesvirus Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) were cloned from latently infected cells. While the expression of these miRNAs has been confirmed by Northern analysis, their ability to inhibit target gene expression has not been demonstrated. We have devised a novel assay for miRNA function that uses lentiviral indicator vectors carrying two perfectly complementary target sites for each given miRNA in the 3' untranslated region of the Renilla luciferase gene. This assay allowed us to demonstrate the activity of each viral miRNA upon cotransduction of cells with the Renilla luciferase indicator vector together with a firefly luciferase control vector. In KSHV-infected BC-1 and BCBL-1 cells, but not uninfected control cells, Renilla luciferase expression was selectively reduced up to 10-fold. Interestingly, one of the viral miRNAs (miR-K5) exhibited much higher activity in BC-1 cells than in BCBL-1 cells. Sequence analysis of both viral genomes revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism in the miR-K5 precursor stem-loop, which inhibits the expression of mature miR-K5 in BCBL-1 cells. We show that the primary miR-K5 sequence present in BCBL-1 results in diminished processing by Drosha both in vivo and in vitro. This is the first report of a naturally occurring sequence polymorphism in an miRNA precursor that results in reduced processing and therefore lower levels of mature miRNA expression and function.
