A Novel Non-Coding RNA CsiR Regulates the Ciprofloxacin Resistance in Proteus vulgaris by Interacting with emrB mRNA.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play important regulatory roles in various physiological metabolic pathways. In this study, a novel ncRNA CsiR (ciprofloxacin stress-induced ncRNA) involved in the regulation of ciprofloxacin resistance in the foodborne multidrug-resistant Proteus vulgaris (P. vulgaris) strain P3M was identified. The survival rate of the CsiR-deficient strain was higher than that of the wild-type strain P3M under the ciprofloxacin treatment condition, indicating that CsiR played a negative regulatory role, and its target gene emrB was identified through further target prediction, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and microscale thermophoresis (MST). Further studies showed that the interaction between CsiR and emrB mRNA affected the stability of the latter at the post-transcriptional level to a large degree, and ultimately affected the ciprofloxacin resistance of P3M. Notably, the base-pairing sites between CsiR and emrB mRNAs were highly conserved in other sequenced P. vulgaris strains, suggesting that this regulatory mechanism may be ubiquitous in this species. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first identification of a novel ncRNA involved in the regulation of ciprofloxacin resistance in P. vulgaris species, which lays a solid foundation for comprehensively expounding the antibiotic resistance mechanism of P. vulgaris.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a novel class of small ncRNAs initially isolated from germ line cells; although recent studies report that they are expressed also in somatic cells. To elucidate the role of piRNAs in somatic cells, in particular from breast cancer, we performed the first extensive next generation sequencing expression analysis of small RNA transcriptomes of hormone responsive breast cancer cell lines in different culture conditions. In addition, to understand the behavior of piRNAs with respect to miRNAs in breast tumor tissues, small RNA sequence data set available in Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE39162) database was used. Results led to the identification of ~100 and ~150 human piRNAs in the breast cancerous cell lines and tumors respectively, several of which differentially expressed in cell lines under different experimental conditions tested or in response to ERβ and in tumor tissues. Western blotting and Q-PCR analysis also revealed the presence in breast cell lines of PIWIL (PIWI Like) subfamily members proteins encoded in the human genome (PIWIL2/HILI and PIWIL4/HIWI2) and of other components of the piRNA biogenesis pathways, suggesting that this might indeed be functional in somatic cells. These results show that piRNAs are expressed in human somatic cells, in particular in cancer, where their expression is influenced by neoplastic transformation, growth conditions and estrogen receptor beta. More important, we demonstrate for the first time a distinct pattern of piRNAs expression in cancerous vs normal breast tissues, which suggests a potential role of these epigenetic modulators in mammary carcinogenesis and maintenance of the cancer cell phenotype. In addition, to understand the behavior of piRNAs with respect to miRNAs in breast tumor tissues, small RNA sequence data set available in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; GSM957192 TAX577740T ,GSM957194 TAX577740N, GSM957195 TAX577453T, GSM957197 TAX577453N, GSM957198 TAX577745T, GSM957200 TAX577745N, GSM957201 TAX577579T, GSM957203 TAX577579N) was used.
