LncSLdb: a resource for long non-coding RNA subcellular localization.

ABSTRACT: While long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play important roles in cellular function and biological process, we still know little about them. Growing evidences indicate that subcellular localization of lncRNAs may provide clues to their functionality. To facilitate researchers functionally characterize thousands of lncRNAs, we developed a database-driven application, lncSLdb, which stores and manages user-collected qualitative and quantitative subcellular localization information of lncRNAs from literature mining. The current release contains >11 000 transcripts from three species. Based on the accumulated region of lncRNAs, we classify transcripts into three basic localization types (nucleus, cytoplasm and nucleus/cytoplasm). In some conditions, the nucleus and cytoplasm types can be divided into three more accurate subtypes (chromosome, nucleoplasm and ribosome). Besides browsing and downloading data in lncSLdb, our system provides a set of comprehensive tools to search by gene symbols, genome coordinates or sequence similarity. We hope that lncSLdb will provide a convenient platform for researchers to investigate the functions and the molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in the view of subcellular localization.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is an embryonal tumor with various clinical presentations and behaviors. Several genomic alterations has been well-studied in NB, among which genomic amplification of MYCN oncogene, is a strong prognostic biomarker with worsens outcome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), constitute major proportion of the cellular transcripts with no coding capacity. One of their function is to guide transcription factors to the target genes and facilitate gene expression. However, relative contribution of lncRNA and MYCN to the advanced NB has remained unclear. Herein, by applying a network-based integrative analysis on MYCN amplified and MYCN nonamplified lncRNA expression profile from both RNA-seq and microarray platform, we identified lncRNA, SNHG1 to be differentially expressed and strongly correlated with MYCN in MYCN-amplified NB. The expression of SNHG1 was validated by RT-qPCR in NB cell lines. Survival analysis revealed that higher expression of SNHG1 significantly associates with poor patient survival. Moreover, knockdown of MYCN in MYCN-amplified NB cell lines inhibited SNHG1 expression. Furthermore, to unravel the role of SNHG1 in NB, we extracted SNHG1-interacting proteins by RNA-protein pull down assay coupled with doi:10.6342/NTU201701980 ! ! VI liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We identified 27 SNHG1-interacting proteins in common from three NB cell lines. However, only three SNHG1-interacting proteins, MATR3, YBX1 and HHRNPL have binding site detected by DeepBind motif analysis. Western blot confirms interaction of MATR3 with SNHG1. Additionally, we further validated the direct interaction between MATR3 and SNHG1 by RNA-immunoprecipation (IP). MATR3 is known to be involved in RNA transport and stabilization. Therefore, we proposed that MATR3 after interacting with SNHG1 might help in SNHG1 transcription and stabilization. In conclusion, our study unveils that SNHG1 could be a prognostic marker for high-risk NB and possibly stabilized by MATR3. Our results might provide future directions for the development of therapeutic strategies against high-risk NB.
