Identification of novel enriched recurrent chimeric COL7A1-UCN2 in human laryngeal cancer samples using deep sequencing.

ABSTRACT: As hybrid RNAs, transcription-induced chimeras (TICs) may have tumor-promoting properties, and some specific chimeras have become important diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for cancer.We examined 23 paired laryngeal cancer (LC) tissues and adjacent normal mucous membrane tissue samples (ANMMTs). Three of these pairs were used for comparative transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, we used real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for further validation in 20 samples. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model were used for the survival analysis.We identified 87 tumor-related TICs and found that COL7A1-UCN2 had the highest frequency in LC tissues (13/23; 56.5%), whereas none of the ANMMTs were positive (0/23; p?

Recurrent chimeric RNAs enriched in human prostate cancer identified by deep sequencing.

Project description:Transcription-induced chimeric RNAs, possessing sequences from different genes, are expected to increase the proteomic diversity through chimeric proteins or altered regulation. Despite their importance, few studies have focused on chimeric RNAs especially regarding their presence/roles in human cancers. By deep sequencing the transcriptome of 20 human prostate cancer and 10 matched benign prostate tissues, we obtained 1.3 billion sequence reads, which led to the identification of 2,369 chimeric RNA candidates. Chimeric RNAs occurred in significantly higher frequency in cancer than in matched benign samples. Experimental investigation of a selected 46 set led to the confirmation of 32 chimeric RNAs, of which 27 were highly recurrent and previously undescribed in prostate cancer. Importantly, a subset of these chimeras was present in prostate cancer cell lines, but not detectable in primary human prostate epithelium cells, implying their associations with cancer. These chimeras contain discernable 5' and 3' splice sites at the RNA junction, indicating that their formation is mediated by splicing. Their presence is also largely independent of the expression of parental genes, suggesting that other factors are involved in their production and regulation. One chimera, TMEM79-SMG5, is highly differentially expressed in human cancer samples and therefore a potential biomarker. The prevalence of chimeric RNAs may allow the limited number of human genes to encode a substantially larger number of RNAs and proteins, forming an additional layer of cellular complexity. Together, our results suggest that chimeric RNAs are widespread, and increased chimeric RNA events could represent a unique class of molecular alteration in cancer.

Using deep learning to identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroidectomy.

Project description:Surgeons must visually distinguish soft-tissues, such as nerves, from surrounding anatomy to prevent complications and optimize patient outcomes. An accurate nerve segmentation and analysis tool could provide useful insight for surgical decision-making. Here, we present an end-to-end, automatic deep learning computer vision algorithm to segment and measure nerves. Unlike traditional medical imaging, our unconstrained setup with accessible handheld digital cameras, along with the unstructured open surgery scene, makes this task uniquely challenging. We investigate one common procedure, thyroidectomy, during which surgeons must avoid damaging the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), which is responsible for human speech. We evaluate our segmentation algorithm on a diverse dataset across varied and challenging settings of operating room image capture, and show strong segmentation performance in the optimal image capture condition. This work lays the foundation for future research in real-time tissue discrimination and integration of accessible, intelligent tools into open surgery to provide actionable insights.

Identification of conserved and novel microRNAs in cashmere goat skin by deep sequencing.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs that play significant roles in regulating the expression of the post-transcriptional skin and hair follicle gene. In recent years, extensive studies on these microRNAs have been carried out in mammals such as mice, rats, pigs and cattle. By comparison, the number of microRNAs that have been identified in goats is relatively low; and in particular, the miRNAs associated with the processes of skin and hair follicle development remain largely unknown. In this study, areas of skin where the cashmere grows in anagen were sampled. A total of 10,943,292 reads were obtained using Solexa sequencing, a high-throughput sequencing technology. From 10,644,467 reads, we identified 3,381 distinct reads and after applying the classification statistics we obtained 316 miRNAs. Among them, using conservative identification, we found that 68 miRNAs (55 of these are confirmed to match known sheep and goat miRNAs in miRBase ) are conserved in goat and have been reported in NCBI; the remaining 248 miRNA were conserved in other species but have not been reported in goat. Furthermore, we identified 22 novel miRNAs. Both the known and novel miRNAs were confirmed by a second sequencing using the same method as was used in the first. This study confirmed the authenticity of 316 known miRNAs and the discovery of 22 novel miRNAs in goat. We found that the miRNAs that were co-expressed in goat and sheep were located in the same region of the respective chromosomes and may play an essential role in skin and follicle development. Identificaton of novel miRNAs resulted in significant enrichment of the repertoire of goat miRNAs.

Identification and analysis of miRNAs in human breast cancer and teratoma samples using deep sequencing.

Project description:BACKGROUND: MiRNAs play important roles in cellular control and in various disease states such as cancers, where they may serve as markers or possibly even therapeutics. Identifying the whole repertoire of miRNAs and understanding their expression patterns is therefore an important goal. METHODS: Here we describe the analysis of 454 pyrosequencing of small RNA from four different tissues: Breast cancer, normal adjacent breast, and two teratoma cell lines. We developed a pipeline for identifying new miRNAs, emphasizing extracting and retaining as much data as possible from even noisy sequencing data. We investigated differential expression of miRNAs in the breast cancer and normal adjacent breast samples, and systematically examined the mature sequence end variability of miRNA compared to non-miRNA loci. RESULTS: We identified five novel miRNAs, as well as two putative alternative precursors for known miRNAs. Several miRNAs were differentially expressed between the breast cancer and normal breast samples. The end variability was shown to be significantly different between miRNA and non-miRNA loci. CONCLUSION: Pyrosequencing of small RNAs, together with a computational pipeline, can be used to identify miRNAs in tumor and other tissues. Measures of miRNA end variability may in the future be incorporated into the discovery pipeline as a discriminatory feature. Breast cancer samples show a distinct miRNA expression profile compared to normal adjacent breast.

Identification of conserved and novel microRNAs in Porphyridium purpureum via deep sequencing and bioinformatics.

Project description:Porphyridium purpureum has been utilized in important industrial and pharmaceutical fields. The identification of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this unique species is of great importance: such identification can help fill gaps in the small RNA (sRNA) studies of this organism and help to elucidate essential biological processes and their regulation mechanisms in this special micro alga.In this study, 254 high-confidence miRNAs (203 conserved miRNAs and 51 novel miRNAs) were identified by sRNA deep sequencing (sRNA-seq) combined with bioinformatics. A total of 235 putative miRNA families were predicted, including 192 conserved families and 43 species-specific families. The conservation and diversity of predicted miRNA families were analysed in different plant species. Both the 100 % northern blot validation rate (VR) of four randomly selected miRNAs and the results of stem-loop quantitative real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) assays of 25 randomly selected miRNAs demonstrated that the majority of the miRNAs identified in this study are credible. A total of 14,958 and 2184 genes were predicted to be targeted by the 186 conserved and 41 novel miRNAs. Gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated that some target genes likely provide valuable references for further understanding of vital functions in P. purpureum. In addition, a cytoscape network will provide some clues for research into the complex biological processes that occur in this unique alga.We first identified a large set of conserved and novel miRNAs in P. purpureum. The characteristic and validation analysis on miRNAs demonstrated authenticity of identification data. Functional annotation of target genes and metabolic pathways they involved in illuminated the direction for further utilization and development this micro alga based on its unique properties.

Identification of microRNAs and their target genes in Alport syndrome using deep sequencing of iPSCs samples.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNA molecules that are implicated in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during development. The discovery and understanding of miRNAs has revolutionized the traditional view of gene expression. Alport syndrome (AS) is an inherited disorder of type IV collagen, which most commonly leads to glomerulonephritis and kidney failure. Patients with AS inevitably reach end-stage renal disease and require renal replacement therapy, starting in young adulthood. In this study, Solexa sequencing was used to identify and quantitatively profile small RNAs from an AS family. We identified 30 known miRNAs that showed a significant change in expression between two individuals. Nineteen miRNAs were up-regulated and eleven were down-regulated. Forty-nine novel miRNAs showed significantly different levels of expression between two individuals. Gene target predictions for the miRNAs revealed that high ranking target genes were implicated in cell, cell part and cellular process categories. The purine metabolism pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway were enriched by the largest number of target genes. These results strengthen the notion that miRNAs and their target genes are involved in AS and the data advance our understanding of miRNA function in the pathogenesis of AS.

Identification of novel microRNAs in the embryonic mouse brain using deep sequencing.

Project description:Many advances in small RNA-seq technology and bioinformatics pipelines have been made recently, permitting the discovery of novel miRNAs in the embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5) mouse brain. We aimed to improve miRNA discovery in this tissue to expand our knowledge of the regulatory networks that underpin normal neurodevelopment, find new candidates for neurodevelopmental disorder aetiology, and deepen our understanding of non-coding RNA evolution. A high-quality small RNA-seq dataset of 458 M reads was generated. An unbiased miRNA discovery pipeline identified fifty putative novel miRNAs, six of which were selected for further validation. A combination of conservation analysis and target functional prediction was used to determine the authenticity of novel miRNA candidates. These findings demonstrate that miRNAs remain to be discovered, particularly if they have the features of other small RNA species.

Deep sequencing identification of novel glucocorticoid-responsive miRNAs in apoptotic primary lymphocytes.

Project description:Apoptosis of lymphocytes governs the response of the immune system to environmental stress and toxic insult. Signaling through the ubiquitously expressed glucocorticoid receptor, stress-induced glucocorticoid hormones induce apoptosis via mechanisms requiring altered gene expression. Several reports have detailed the changes in gene expression mediating glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of lymphocytes. However, few studies have examined the role of non-coding miRNAs in this essential physiological process. Previously, using hybridization-based gene expression analysis and deep sequencing of small RNAs, we described the prevalent post-transcriptional repression of annotated miRNAs during glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of lymphocytes. Here, we describe the development of a customized bioinformatics pipeline that facilitates the deep sequencing-mediated discovery of novel glucocorticoid-responsive miRNAs in apoptotic primary lymphocytes. This analysis identifies the potential presence of over 200 novel glucocorticoid-responsive miRNAs. We have validated the expression of two novel glucocorticoid-responsive miRNAs using small RNA-specific qPCR. Furthermore, through the use of Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) we determined that the putative targets of these novel validated miRNAs are predicted to regulate cell death processes. These findings identify two and predict the presence of additional novel glucocorticoid-responsive miRNAs in the rat transcriptome, suggesting a potential role for both annotated and novel miRNAs in glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of lymphocytes.

MetaGeniE: characterizing human clinical samples using deep metagenomic sequencing.

Project description:With the decreasing cost of next-generation sequencing, deep sequencing of clinical samples provides unique opportunities to understand host-associated microbial communities. Among the primary challenges of clinical metagenomic sequencing is the rapid filtering of human reads to survey for pathogens with high specificity and sensitivity. Metagenomes are inherently variable due to different microbes in the samples and their relative abundance, the size and architecture of genomes, and factors such as target DNA amounts in tissue samples (i.e. human DNA versus pathogen DNA concentration). This variation in metagenomes typically manifests in sequencing datasets as low pathogen abundance, a high number of host reads, and the presence of close relatives and complex microbial communities. In addition to these challenges posed by the composition of metagenomes, high numbers of reads generated from high-throughput deep sequencing pose immense computational challenges. Accurate identification of pathogens is confounded by individual reads mapping to multiple different reference genomes due to gene similarity in different taxa present in the community or close relatives in the reference database. Available global and local sequence aligners also vary in sensitivity, specificity, and speed of detection. The efficiency of detection of pathogens in clinical samples is largely dependent on the desired taxonomic resolution of the organisms. We have developed an efficient strategy that identifies "all against all" relationships between sequencing reads and reference genomes. Our approach allows for scaling to large reference databases and then genome reconstruction by aggregating global and local alignments, thus allowing genetic characterization of pathogens at higher taxonomic resolution. These results were consistent with strain level SNP genotyping and bacterial identification from laboratory culture.

Whole exome sequencing identified a novel compound heterozygous variation in COL7A1 gene causing dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

Project description:Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a series of severe genetic conditions affecting skin and nails caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene. DEB has a strong phenotypic variability. In the present study, we recruited a case with a boy exhibiting typical DEB indication, and performed a clinical, genetic, and experimental investigation, followed by a prenatal diagnosis on their current pregnancy. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel compound heterozygous variation in COL7A1, consisting of two variants, namely c.191T>C (p.Leu64Pro) and c.5124G>A (p.Leu1708=) in the proband. In vitro study by minigene system indicated that c.5124G>A would result in an increased ratio of a transcript with exon-skipping, which supported its pathogenicity. Further prenatal detection confirmed the genotype-phenotye co-separation in this family. In conclusion, the findings in our study expanded the mutation spectrum of DEB, and emphasized the importance of paying attention to specific synonymous variants in the filtering process.
