Project description:The quality of tissue samples and extracted mRNA is a major source of variability in tumor transcriptome analysis using genome-wide expression microarrays. During and immediately after surgical tumor resection, tissues are exposed to metabolic, biochemical and physical stresses characterized as "warm ischemia". Current practice advocates cryopreservation of biosamples within 30 minutes of resection, but this recommendation has not been systematically validated by measurements of mRNA decay over time. Using Illumina HumanHT-12 v3 Expression BeadChips, providing a genome-wide coverage of over 24,000 genes, we have analyzed gene expression variation in samples of 3 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and 3 lung carcinomas (LC) cryopreserved at times up to 2 hours after resection. RNA Integrity Numbers (RIN) revealed no significant deterioration of mRNA up to 2 hours after resection. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis detected non-significant gene expression variations of -3.5%/hr (95% CI: -7.0%/hr to 0.1%/hr; p = 0.054). In LC, no consistent gene expression pattern was detected in relation with warm ischemia. In HCC, a signature of 6 up-regulated genes (CYP2E1, IGLL1, CABYR, CLDN2, NQO1, SCL13A5) and 6 down-regulated genes (MT1G, MT1H, MT1E, MT1F, HABP2, SPINK1) was identified (FDR <0.05). Overall, our observations support current recommendation of time to cryopreservation of up to 30 minutes and emphasize the need for identifying tissue-specific genes deregulated following resection to avoid misinterpreting expression changes induced by warm ischemia as pathologically significant changes.

Project description:Genome integrity can be threatened by various endogenous or exogenous events. To counteract these stressors, the DNA damage response network contributes to the prevention and/or repair of genomic DNA damage and serves an essential function in cellular survival. DNA binding proteins are involved in this network. Recently, several RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that are recruited to DNA damage sites have been shown to be direct players in the prevention or repair of DNA damage. In addition, non-coding RNAs, themselves, are involved in the RNA-mediated DNA repair system. Furthermore, RNA modification such as m6A methylation might also contribute to the ultraviolet-responsive DNA damage response. Accumulating evidence suggests that RNA metabolism is more deeply involved in diverse cellular functions than previously expected, and is also intricately associated with the maintenance of genome integrity. In this review, we highlight the roles of RBPs in the maintenance of genome integrity.

Project description:Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA known to affect cancer-related micro RNAs and various transcription factors. circRNA has promise as a cancer-related biomarker because its circular structure affords high stability. We found using high-throughput sequencing that seven candidate circRNAs (hsa_circ_0041150, hsa_circ_0025624, hsa_circ_0001020, hsa_circ_0028129, hsa_circ_0008558, hsa_circ_0036683, hsa_circ_0058087) were downregulated in HCC. The expression of these circRNAs was examined by quantitative PCR in 233 sets of HCC and matched background normal liver tissues, and correlations between candidate circRNA expression and prognosis were evaluated. The results of quantitative PCR showed that expression of hsa_circ_0041150, hsa_circ_0001020 and hsa_circ_0008558 was significantly lower in HCC than in background normal liver tissues. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that low expression of hsa_circ_0001020, hsa_circ_0036683, and hsa_circ_0058087 was associated with poor recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in HCC. Additionally, multivariate analysis revealed that low hsa_circ_0036683 expression was a significant prognostic factor, independent from other clinicopathological features, for inferior RFS and OS. There was no significant association between the expression of these circRNAs and hepatitis B/C status or cirrhosis. This study therefore identified circRNAs as potential prognostic markers for patients who undergo curative surgery for HCC and highlighted hsa_circ_0036683 as the most useful biomarker.

Project description:The transcription cycle of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) correlates with changes to the phosphorylation state of its large subunit C-terminal domain (CTD). We recently developed Native Elongation Transcript sequencing using mammalian cells (mNET-seq), which generates single-nucleotide-resolution genome-wide profiles of nascent RNA and co-transcriptional RNA processing that are associated with different CTD phosphorylation states. Here we provide a detailed protocol for mNET-seq. First, Pol II elongation complexes are isolated with specific phospho-CTD antibodies from chromatin solubilized by micrococcal nuclease digestion. Next, RNA derived from within the Pol II complex is size fractionated and Illumina sequenced. Using mNET-seq, we have previously shown that Pol II pauses at both ends of protein-coding genes but with different CTD phosphorylation patterns, and we have also detected phosphorylation at serine 5 (Ser5-P) CTD-specific splicing intermediates and Pol II accumulation over co-transcriptionally spliced exons. With moderate biochemical and bioinformatic skills, mNET-seq can be completed in ∼6 d, not including sequencing and data analysis.

Project description:Angiosarcomas are highly malignant tumors that develop as primary angiosarcomas of unknown cause or as secondary angiosarcomas, most often following radiation therapy for breast cancer. These subsets are morphologically indistinguishable, which motivates our aim to identify genetic classifiers for diagnostic and therapeutic application. We applied the 18k whole-genome c-DNA-mediated annealing, selection, extension, and ligation (WG-DASL) assay for expression profiling of 26 primary and 29 secondary angiosarcomas. Primary and secondary angiosarcomas differed by 103 significantly de-regulated genes with up-regulation of RET, KIT, FLT4, MYC and RASGRP3 and down-regulation of CDKN2C in secondary angiosarcoma. Functional annotation analysis demonstrated involvement of multiple target genes in the receptor protein tyrosine kinase pathway. Up-regulation of RET and down-regulation of CDKN2C characterize secondary angiosarcoma, which implies a mechanistic basis for the evaluation of RET-kinase inhibitors in the treatment of these highly aggressive tumors. Total RNA obtained from primary and secondary angiosarcoma samples from formalin-fixed parafin-embedded samples were compared using WG-DASL. Biological replicates (two samples from the same patient, different parts of the tumor or different operation specimens) Technical replicates (two samples from the same patient and same tumor sample, analyzed in different areas of the bead chip)

Project description:Methylation of CpG dinucleotides is a fundamental mechanism of epigenetic regulation in eukaryotic genomes. Development of methods for rapid genome wide methylation profiling will greatly facilitate both hypothesis and discovery driven research in the field of epigenetics. In this regard, a single molecule approach to methylation profiling offers several unique advantages that include elimination of chemical DNA modification steps and PCR amplification.A single molecule approach is presented for the discernment of methylation profiles, based on optical mapping. We report results from a series of pilot studies demonstrating the capabilities of optical mapping as a platform for methylation profiling of whole genomes. Optical mapping was used to discern the methylation profile from both an engineered and wild type Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the methylation status of selected loci within the genome of human embryonic stem cells was profiled using optical mapping.The optical mapping platform effectively detects DNA methylation patterns. Due to single molecule detection, optical mapping offers significant advantages over other technologies. This advantage stems from obviation of DNA modification steps, such as bisulfite treatment, and the ability of the platform to assay repeat dense regions within mammalian genomes inaccessible to techniques using array-hybridization technologies.

Project description:Post-transcriptional gene regulation is robustly regulated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Here we describe the collection of RNAs regulated by AUF1 (AU-binding factor 1), an RBP linked to cancer, inflammation and aging. Photoactivatable ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) analysis reveals that AUF1 primarily recognizes U-/GU-rich sequences in mRNAs and noncoding RNAs and influences target transcript fate in three main directions. First, AUF1 lowers the steady-state levels of numerous target RNAs, including long noncoding RNA NEAT1, in turn affecting the organization of nuclear paraspeckles. Second, AUF1 does not change the abundance of many target RNAs, but ribosome profiling reveals that AUF1 promotes the translation of numerous mRNAs in this group. Third, AUF1 unexpectedly enhances the steady-state levels of several target mRNAs encoding DNA-maintenance proteins. Through its actions on target RNAs, AUF1 preserves genomic integrity, in agreement with the AUF1-elicited prevention of premature cellular senescence.
