Project description:MicroRNAs are major regulators of post-transcriptional gene regulation. Even small changes in miRNA levels may have profound consequences for the expression levels of target genes. Hence, miRNAs themselves need to be tightly, albeit dynamically, regulated. Here, we investigated the dynamic behaviour of miRNAs over a wide time range following transcriptional activation of melanoma cells by interferon-? (IFN-?), which activates the transcription factor STAT1. By applying several software packages for analyses, visualisation and identification of differentially expressed miRNAs derived from time-series microarray experiments, 8.9% (98) of 1102 miRNAs appeared to be directly or indirectly regulated by STAT1. Focussing on distinct dynamic expression patterns, we found that the majority of differentially expressed miRNAs were up-or down-regulated in the intermediate time range (24 h - 48 h), one (miR-27a*) was up-regulated early (already at 18 h), while none reacted late (after 72 h – 96 h). Expression of individual miRNAs was altered gradually over time or it abruptly increased between two time points. Furthermore, we have observed co-ordinated dynamic transcription of several clustered miRNAs. However, we also detected that some of those can be regulated independently of their genetic cluster. Most interestingly, several “star” or passenger strand sequences were specifically regulated over time while their “guide” strands were not.

Project description:Thousands of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) dynamically impact nearly all cellular functions. Mass spectrometry is well suited to PTM identification, but proteome-scale analyses are biased towards PTMs with existing enrichment methods. To measure the full landscape of PTM regulation, software must overcome two fundamental challenges: intractably large search spaces and difficulty distinguishing correct from incorrect identifications. Here, we describe TagGraph, software that overcomes both challenges with a string-based search method orders of magnitude faster than current approaches, and probabilistic validation model optimized for PTM assignments. When applied to a human proteome map, TagGraph tripled confident identifications while revealing thousands of modification types on nearly one million sites spanning the proteome. We expand known sites by orders of magnitude for highly abundant yet understudied PTMs such as proline hydroxylation, and derive tissue-specific insight into these PTMs’ roles. TagGraph expands our ability to survey the full landscape of PTM function and regulation.

Project description:Fruit juice is one of the most easily accessible resources for the isolation of plant-derived vesicles. Here we found that micro- and nano-sized vesicles (MVs and NVs) from four Citrus species, C. sinensis, C. limon, C. paradisi and C. aurantium, specifically inhibit the proliferation of lung, skin and breast cancer cells, with no substantial effect on the growth of non-cancer cells. Cellular and molecular analyses demonstrate that grapefruit-derived vesicles cause cell cycle arrest at G2/M checkpoint associated with a reduced cyclins B1 and B2 expression levels and the upregulation of cell cycle inhibitor p21. Further data suggest the inhibition of Akt and ERK signalling, reduced intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 and cathepsins expressions, and the presence of cleaved PARP-1, all associated with the observed changes at the cellular level. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics reveals distinct metabolite profiles for the juice and vesicle fractions. NVs exhibit a high relative amount of amino acids and organic acids whereas MVs and fruit juice are characterized by a high percentage of sugars and sugar derivatives. Grapefruit-derived NVs are in particular rich in alpha-hydroxy acids and leucine/isoleucine, myo-inositol and doconexent, while quininic acid was detected in MVs. Our findings reveal the metabolite signatures of grapefruit-derived vesicles and substantiate their potential use in new anticancer strategies.

Project description:Acquired drug tolerance has been a major challenge in cancer therapy. Recent evidence has revealed the existence of slow-cycling persister cells that survive drug treatments and give rise to multi-drug-tolerant mutants in cancer. Cells in this dynamic persister state can escape drug treatment by undergoing various epigenetic changes, which may result in a transient metabolic rewiring. In this study, with the use of untargeted metabolomics and phenotype microarrays, we characterize the metabolic profiles of melanoma persister cells mediated by treatment with vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor. Our findings demonstrate that metabolites associated with phospholipid synthesis, pyrimidine, and one-carbon metabolism and branched-chain amino acid metabolism are significantly altered in vemurafenib persister cells when compared to the bulk cancer population. Our data also show that vemurafenib persisters have higher lactic acid consumption rates than control cells, further validating the existence of a unique metabolic reprogramming in these drug-tolerant cells. Determining the metabolic mechanisms underlying persister cell survival and maintenance will facilitate the development of novel treatment strategies that target persisters and enhance cancer therapy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have revealed a new mechanism of interaction between RNAs. However, an understanding of the ceRNA regulatory network in Wilms tumour (WT) remains limited. METHODS:The expression profiles of mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs in Wilms tumour samples and normal samples were obtained from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatment (TARGET) database. The EdgeR package was employed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs. Functional enrichment analyses via the ClusterProfile R package were performed, and the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction ceRNA network was established in Cytoscape. Subsequently, the correlation between the ceRNA network and overall survival was analysed. RESULTS:A total of 2037 lncRNAs, 154 miRNAs and 3609 mRNAs were identified as differentially expressed RNAs in Wilms tumour. Of those, 205 lncRNAs, 26 miRNAs and 143 mRNAs were included in the ceRNA regulatory network. The results of Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in terms related to response to mechanical stimuli, transcription factor complexes, and transcription factor activity (related to RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding). The results of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways related to the cell cycle. The survival analysis results showed that 16 out of the 205 lncRNAs, 1 out of 26 miRNAs and 5 out of 143 mRNAs were associated with overall survival in Wilms tumour patients (P?<?0.05). CONCLUSIONS:CeRNA networks play an important role in Wilms tumour. This finding might provide effective, novel insights for further understanding the mechanisms underlying Wilms tumour.

Project description:Actin is a highly conserved protein that is expressed in all eukaryotic cells and has essential functions in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Nuclear actin is involved in transcription by all three RNA polymerases, chromatin remodelling, RNA processing, intranuclear transport, nuclear export and in maintenance of the nuclear architecture. The nuclear actin level and polymerization state are important factors regulating nuclear processes such as transcription. Our study shows that, in contrast to the cytoplasm, the majority of endogenous nuclear actin is unpolymerized in human melanoma A375 cells. Most mammalian cells express the two non-muscle ?- and ?-actin isoforms that differ in only four amino acids. Despite their sequence similarity, studies analysing the cytoplasmic functions of these isoforms demonstrated that ?- and ?-actins show differences in localization and function. However, little is known about the involvement of the individual actin isoforms in nuclear processes. Here, we used the human melanoma A375 cell line to analyse actin isoforms in regard to their nuclear localization. We show that both ?- and ?-non-muscle actin isoforms are present in nuclei of these cells. Immunolocalization studies demonstrate that both isoforms co-localize with RNA polymerase II and hnRNP U. However, we observe differences in the ratio of cytoplasmic to nuclear actin distribution between the isoforms. We show that ?-actin has a significantly higher nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio than ?-actin.
