High-Resolution In Vivo Identification of miRNA Targets by Halo-Enhanced Ago2 Pull-Down.

ABSTRACT: The identification of microRNA (miRNA) targets by Ago2 crosslinking-immunoprecipitation (CLIP) methods has provided major insights into the biology of this important class of non-coding RNAs. However, these methods are technically challenging and not easily applicable to an in vivo setting. To overcome these limitations and facilitate the investigation of miRNA functions in vivo, we have developed a method based on a genetically engineered mouse harboring a conditional Halo-Ago2 allele expressed from the endogenous Ago2 locus. By using a resin conjugated to the HaloTag ligand, Ago2-miRNA-mRNA complexes can be purified from cells and tissues expressing the endogenous Halo-Ago2 allele. We demonstrate the reproducibility and sensitivity of this method in mouse embryonic stem cells, developing embryos, adult tissues, and autochthonous mouse models of human brain and lung cancers. This method and the datasets we have generated will facilitate the characterization of miRNA-mRNA networks in vivo under physiological and pathological conditions.

Halo-enhanced Ago2 pulldown (HEAP) to identify miRNA targets in vivo

Project description:The identification of miRNA targets by Ago2-CLIP methods has provided major insights into the biology of this important class of non-coding RNAs. However, these methods are technically challenging and not easily translated to an in vivo setting. To overcome these limitations and to facilitate the investigation of miRNA functions in mice, we have developed a method (HEAP) to map miRNA-mRNA binding sites. This method uses a novel mouse strain harboring a conditional Halo-Ago2 allele expressed from the Ago2 locus. By using a resin conjugated to the HaloTag ligand, Ago2-miRNA-mRNA complexes can be efficiently purified from cells and tissues expressing Halo-Ago2. We demonstrate the reproducibility and sensitivity of this method in embryonic stem cells, in embryos, in adult tissues and in autochthonous mouse models of cancers. These tools and datasets are valuable resources to the scientific community and will facilitate the characterization of miRNA functions under physiological and pathological conditions.

Identification of miRNA targets in breast cancer cells (Ago2-IP)

Project description:miRNAs regulate mRNA stability and translation through the action of the RNAi-induced silencing complex. In this study, we systematically identified endogenous miRNA target genes by using AGO2 immunoprecipitation (AGO2-IP) and microarray analyses in two breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231, representing luminal and basal-like breast cancer, respectively. The expression levels of ~70% of the AGO2-IP mRNAs were increased by DROSHA or DICER1 knockdown. In addition, integrated analysis of miRNA expression profiles, mRNA-AGO2 interaction, and the 3'-UTR of mRNAs revealed that >60% of the AGO2-IP mRNAs were putative targets of the fifty most abundantly expressed miRNAs. To identify mRNAs associated with AGO2, cell lysate was precleaned with control IgG and immunoprecipitated with anti-human Ago2 (Clone 2E12-1C9, Abnova). Total RNA from cell lysate or coimmunoprecipitated with AGO2 was extracted with Trizol and subjected to microarray analysis, with three biological repeats for each experimental condition.

Halo-enhanced Ago2 pulldown (HEAP) to identify miRNA targets in murine colonic epithelium +/- oncogenic K-Ras-G12D

Project description:K-Ras is frequently hyperactivated in human cancers through gain-of-function mutations that drive tumorigenesis. K-RasG12D, the most common oncogenic K-Ras allele, triggers massive transcriptomic and proteomic changes in the murine colon. Here, we report a comprehensive profile of physiological miRNA targets in murine colonic epithelium and tumor expressing K-RasG12D. Combining it with transcriptional, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes, we uncover a K-RasG12D-induced global suppression of miRNA activity that up-regulates hundreds of genes post-transcriptionally. K-RasG12D suppresses Csnk1a1 and Csnk2a1, which can decrease Ago2 phosphorylation at Ser825/829/831/835. Hypo-phosphorylated Ago2 increases binding with mRNA, reducing its regulatory activity by locking Ago2 in a small set of target transcripts. While expanding the repertoire of miRNA targets identified, it functionally decreases active Ago2, resulting in global de-repression of miRNA targets. Our findings establish a regulatory relationship among K-Ras, Csnk1a1/Csnk2a1, and Ago2 that provides a mechanistic link between oncogenic K-Ras and the up-regulation of hundreds of miRNA targets.

Quantitative identification of proteins that influence miRNA biogenesis by RNA pull-down-SILAC mass spectrometry (RP-SMS).

Project description:RNA-binding proteins mediate and control gene expression. As some examples, they regulate pre-mRNA synthesis and processing; mRNA localisation, translation and decay; and microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and function. Here, we present a detailed protocol for RNA pull-down coupled to stable isotope labelling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) mass spectrometry (RP-SMS) that enables quantitative, fast and specific detection of RNA-binding proteins that regulate miRNA biogenesis. In general, this method allows for the identification of RNA-protein complexes formed using in vitro or chemically synthesized RNAs and protein extracts derived from cultured cells.
