Novel rRNA-depletion methods for total RNA sequencing and ribosome profiling developed for avian species.

ABSTRACT: Deep sequencing of RNAs has greatly aided the study of the transcriptome, enabling comprehensive gene expression profiling and the identification of novel transcripts. While messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are of the greatest interest in gene expression studies as they encode for proteins, mRNAs make up only 3 to 5% of total RNAs, with the majority comprising ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). Therefore, applications of deep sequencing to RNA face the challenge of how to efficiently enrich mRNA species prior to library construction. Traditional methods extract mRNAs using oligo-dT primers targeting the poly-A tail on mRNAs; however, this approach is not comprehensive as it does not capture mRNAs lacking the poly-A tail or other long non-coding RNAs that we may be interested in. Alternative mRNA enrichment methods deplete rRNAs, but such approaches require species-specific probes and the commercially available kits are costly and have only been developed for a limited number of model organisms. Here, we describe a quick, cost-effective method for depleting rRNAs using custom-designed oligos, using chickens as an example species for probe design. With this optimized protocol, we have not only removed the rRNAs from total RNAs for RNA-seq library construction but also depleted rRNA fragments from ribosome-protected fragments for ribosome profiling. Currently, this is the only rRNA depletion-based method for avian species; this method thus provides a valuable resource for both the scientific community and the poultry industry.

Small Molecule RBI2 Disrupts Ribosome Biogenesis through Pre-rRNA Depletion.

Project description:Cancer cells are especially sensitive to perturbations in ribosome biogenesis as they rely on finely tuned protein homeostasis to facilitate their rapid growth and proliferation. While ribosome synthesis and cancer have a well-established relationship, ribosome biogenesis has only recently drawn interest as a cancer therapeutic target. In this study, we exploited the relationship between ribosome biogenesis and cancer cell proliferation by using a potent ribosome biogenesis inhibitor, RBI2 (Ribosome Biogenesis Inhibitor 2), to perturb cancer cell growth and viability. We demonstrate herein that RBI2 significantly decreases cell viability in malignant melanoma cells and breast cancer cell lines. Treatment with RBI2 dramatically and rapidly decreased ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis, without affecting the occupancy of RNA polymerase I (Pol I) on the ribosomal DNA template. Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed that RBI2 and previously described ribosome biogenesis inhibitor CX-5461 induce distinct changes in the transcriptome. An investigation of the content of the pre-rRNAs through RT-qPCR revealed an increase in the polyadenylation of cellular rRNA after treatment with RBI2, constituting a known pathway by which rRNA degradation occurs. Northern blotting revealed that RBI2 does not appear to impair or alter rRNA processing. Collectively, these data suggest that RBI2 inhibits rRNA synthesis differently from other previously described ribosome biogenesis inhibitors, potentially acting through a novel pathway that upregulates the turnover of premature rRNAs.

Evaluation of protocols for rRNA depletion-based RNA sequencing of nanogram inputs of mammalian total RNA.

Project description:Next generation RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is a flexible approach that can be applied to a range of applications including global quantification of transcript expression, the characterization of RNA structure such as splicing patterns and profiling of expressed mutations. Many RNA-seq protocols require up to microgram levels of total RNA input amounts to generate high quality data, and thus remain impractical for the limited starting material amounts typically obtained from rare cell populations, such as those from early developmental stages or from laser micro-dissected clinical samples. Here, we present an assessment of the contemporary ribosomal RNA depletion-based protocols, and identify those that are suitable for inputs as low as 1-10 ng of intact total RNA and 100-500 ng of partially degraded RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.

A comparative analysis of RNA sequencing methods with ribosome RNA depletion for degraded and low-input total RNA from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks held in clinical laboratories are an invaluable resource for clinical research, especially in the era of personalized medicine. It is important to accurately quantitate gene expression with degraded and small amounts of total RNA from FFPE materials. RESULTS:High concordance in transcript quantifications were shown between FF and FFPE samples using the same kit. The gene expression using the TaKaRa kit showed a difference with other kits, which may be due to the different principle of rRNA depletion or the amount of input total RNA. For seriously degraded RNA from FFPE samples, libraries could be constructed with as low as 50?ng of total RNA, although there was residual rRNA in the libraries. Data analysis with HISAT demonstrated that the unique mapping ratio, percentage of exons in unique mapping reads and number of detected genes decreased along with the decreasing quality of input RNA. CONCLUSIONS:The method of RNA library construction with rRNA depletion can be used for clinical FFPE samples. For degraded and low-input RNA samples, it is still possible to obtain repeatable RNA expression profiling but with a low unique mapping ratio and high residual rRNA.

Targeted rRNA depletion enables efficient mRNA sequencing in diverse bacterial species and complex co-cultures.

Project description:ImportanceMicrobes present one of the most diverse sources of biochemistry in nature, and mRNA sequencing provides a comprehensive view of this biological activity by quantitatively measuring microbial transcriptomes. However, efficient mRNA capture for sequencing presents significant challenges in prokaryotes as mRNAs are not poly-adenylated and typically make up less than 5% of total RNA compared with rRNAs that exceed 80%. Recently developed methods for sequencing bacterial mRNA typically rely on depleting rRNA by tiling large probe sets against rRNAs; however, such approaches are expensive, time-consuming, and challenging to scale to varied bacterial species and complex microbial communities. Therefore, we developed EMBR-seq+, a method that requires fewer than 10 short oligonucleotides per rRNA to achieve up to 99% rRNA depletion in diverse bacterial species. Finally, EMBR-seq+ resulted in a deeper view of the transcriptome, enabling systematic quantification of how microbial interactions result in altering the transcriptional state of bacteria within co-cultures.

Nuclease-mediated depletion biases in ribosome footprint profiling libraries.

Project description:Ribosome footprint profiling is a high-throughput sequencing-based technique that provides detailed and global views of translation in living cells. An essential part of this technology is removal of unwanted, normally very abundant, ribosomal RNA sequences that dominate libraries and increase sequencing costs. The most effective commercial solution (Ribo-Zero) has been discontinued as a standalone product and a number of new, experimentally distinct commercial applications have emerged on the market. Here we evaluated several commercially available alternatives designed for RNA-seq of human samples and find them generally unsuitable for ribosome footprint profiling. We instead recommend the use of custom-designed biotinylated oligos, which were widely used in early ribosome profiling studies. Importantly, we warn that depletion solutions based on targeted nuclease cleavage significantly perturb the high-resolution information that can be derived from the data, and thus do not recommend their use for any applications that require precise determination of the ends of RNA fragments.

The 28S rRNA RT-qPCR assay for host depletion evaluation to enhance avian virus detection in Illumina and Nanopore sequencing.

Project description:Abundant host and bacterial sequences can obscure the detection of less prevalent viruses in untargeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). Efficient removal of these non-targeted sequences is vital for accurate viral detection. This study presents a novel 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) RT-qPCR assay designed to assess the efficiency of avian rRNA depletion before conducting costly NGS for the detection of avian RNA viruses. The comprehensive evaluation of this 28S-test focuses on substituting DNase I with alternative DNases in our established depletion protocols and finetuning essential parameters for reliable host rRNA depletion. To validate the effectiveness of the 28S-test, we compared its performance with NGS results obtained from both Illumina and Nanopore sequencing platforms. This evaluation utilized swab samples from chickens infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, subjected to established and modified depletion protocols. Both methods significantly reduced host rRNA levels, but using the alternative DNase had superior performance. Additionally, utilizing the 28S-test, we explored cost- and time-effective strategies, such as reduced probe concentrations and other alternative DNase usage, assessed the impact of filtration pre-treatment, and evaluated various experimental parameters to further optimize the depletion protocol. Our findings underscore the value of the 28S-test in optimizing depletion methods for advancing improvements in avian disease research through NGS.

Depletion of S-adenosylmethionine impacts on ribosome biogenesis through hypomodification of a single rRNA methylation.

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is an essential metabolite and a methyl group donor in all living organisms. The intracellular SAM concentration is tightly regulated, and depletion causes hypomethylation of substrates, growth defects and pathological consequences. In the emerging field of epitranscriptomics, SAM-dependent RNA methylations play a critical role in gene expression. Herein, we analyzed the methylation status of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in Escherichia coli Δmtn strain in which cellular SAM was down-regulated, and found hypomodification of several methylation sites, including 2'-O-methylation at position 2552 (Um2552) of 23S rRNA. We observed severe growth defect of the Δmtn strain with significant accumulation of 45S ribosomal precursor harboring 23S rRNA with hypomodified Um2552. Strikingly, the growth defect was partially restored by overexpression of rlmE encoding the SAM-dependent methyltransferase responsible for Um2552. Although SAM is involved not only in rRNA methylation but also in various cellular processes, effects on ribosome biogenesis contribute substantially to the observed defects on cell proliferation.

Selective depletion of rRNA enables whole transcriptome profiling of archival fixed tissue.

Project description:We report a method for Selective Depletion of abundant RNA (SDRNA) species from Human total RNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, here demonstrating removal of ribosomal and mitochondrial transcripts from clinical FFPE tissue RNA archived up to 20 years. Importantly, SDRNA removes 98% of targeted RNAs while preserving relative abundance profiles of non-targeted RNAs, enabling routine whole transcriptome analysis of clinically valuable archival tissue specimens by Next-Generation Sequencing.

Testing different rRNA removal methods in 4 species of model halophilic archaea

Project description:We tested a number of rRNA removal methods (Illumina RiboZero Plus, NEBNext, NEB Core Depletion Set with custom probes, siTools Panarchaea, siTools RiboPool) on 4 model halophile species: Halobacterium salinarum, Haloferax volcanii, Haloferax meditteranei, Haloarcula hispanica). It was found that methods using custom probes (NEB Core Depletion set with HVO probes, siTools RiboPool with HVO probes) efficiently remove rRNA in species they are targeted to, and that Panarchaea efficiently removes rRNA in all 4 tested species.
