Noncoding RNA circBtnl1 suppresses self-renewal of intestinal stem cells via disruption of Atf4 mRNA stability

ABSTRACT: Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) at the crypt base are responsible for the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium. However, how ISC self-renewal is regulated still remains unclear. Here we identified a circular RNA, circBtnl1, that is highly expressed in ISCs. Loss of circBtnl1 in mice enhanced ISC self-renewal capacity and epithelial regeneration, without changes in mRNA and protein levels of its parental gene Btnl1. Mechanistically, circBtnl1 and Atf4 mRNA competitively bound the ATP-dependent RNA helicase Ddx3y to impair the stability of Atf4 mRNA in wild-type ISCs. Furthermore, ATF4 activated Sox9 transcription by binding to its promoter via a unique motif, to enhance the self-renewal capacity and epithelial regeneration of ISCs. In contrast, circBtnl1 knockout promoted Atf4 mRNA stability and enhanced ATF4 expression, which caused Sox9 transcription to potentiate ISC stemness. These data indicate that circBtnl1-mediated Atf4 mRNA decay suppresses Sox9 transcription that negatively modulates self-renewal maintenance of ISCs.

Interactome determination of a Long Noncoding RNA implicated in Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a significant fraction of mammalian transcriptomes and they have emerged as intricate regulators of many biological processes. Their broad capacity to adopt diverse structures facilitates their involvement in the transcriptional, translational and signaling processes that are central to embryonic stem (ES) cell self-renewal and pluripotency. While lncRNAs have been implicated in ES cell maintenance, detailed analyses of those that show significant expression in ES cells is largely absent. Moreover, cooperative molecular relationships that facilitate lncRNA action are poorly understood. Cyrano is a developmentally important lncRNA, and in ES cells, it supports gene expression network maintenance, cell adhesion and cell survival. We have interrogated the interactome of Cyrano to identify protein partners and find that Cyrano is involved in multiple protein networks. We identify a developmentally important cell-signaling hub and find STAT3 as a candidate through which Cyrano can function to reinforce self-renewal of ES cells. Based on commonalities between ES cells and cancer cells, we postulate such functional interactions may support cell proliferation, cell identity and adhesion characteristics in rapidly proliferating cell types. The interactome data will therefore provide a resource for further investigations into interactions that regulate Cyrano or mediate its function.

CHD2 maintains spermatogonial self-renewal by promoting chromatin activity and mRNA stability

Project description:Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding Domain 2 (CHD2), as a chromatin remodeling factor, was shown to be involved in the regulation of gene expression in embryonic development, neurodevelopment and myelopoiesis. However, its role in male germ cell development has not been elucidated. Here, we confirmed that CHD2 is abundantly expressed throughout the male germ cells with the highest expression in the spermatocytes of meiosis I. By constructing a heterozygous gene knockout mouse model of Chd2 (Chd2+/-), we demonstrated that CHD2 haploinsufficiency resulted in testicular developmental delay and increased rate of abnormal sperm in mice. DNA damage repair, synapsis and cell proliferation during spermatogenesis are impaired in Chd2+/- mice. In vitro experiments in C18-4 and GC-1 spg cells showed that CHD2 knockdown inhibits spermatogonial self-renewal. Mechanically, CHD2 maintained the enrichment of H3K4me3 in Ccnb1 and Ccnd2 promoter consequently promoting the transcription of Ccnb1 and Ccnd2. In addition, by interacting with cleavage stimulation factor CSTF3, CHD2 binds Oct4, Plzf mRNA and upregulates the expression of OCT4 and PLZF by improving mRNA stability. This is the first time to reveal the role and mechanism of CHD2 in maintaining spermatogonial self-renewal by promoting chromatin activity and mRNA stability in spermatogenesis.

Long Noncoding RNA Moderates MicroRNA Activity to Maintain Self-Renewal in Embryonic Stem Cells.

Project description:Of the thousands of long noncoding RNAs expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), few have known roles and fewer have been functionally implicated in the regulation of self-renewal and pluripotency, or the reprogramming of somatic cells to the pluripotent state. In ESCs, Cyrano is a stably expressed long intergenic noncoding RNA with no previously assigned role. We demonstrate that Cyrano contributes to ESC maintenance, as its depletion results in the loss of hallmarks of self-renewal. Delineation of Cyrano's network through transcriptomics revealed widespread effects on signaling pathways and gene expression networks that contribute to ESC maintenance. Cyrano shares unique sequence complementarity with the differentiation-associated microRNA, mir-7, and mir-7 overexpression reduces expression of a key self-renewal factor to a similar extent as Cyrano knockdown. This suggests that Cyrano functions to restrain the action of mir-7. Altogether, we provide a view into the multifaceted function of Cyrano in ESC maintenance.

Spen limits intestinal stem cell self-renewal.

Project description:Precise regulation of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation properties is essential for tissue homeostasis. Using the adult Drosophila intestine to study molecular mechanisms controlling stem cell properties, we identify the gene split-ends (spen) in a genetic screen as a novel regulator of intestinal stem cell fate (ISC). Spen family genes encode conserved RNA recognition motif-containing proteins that are reported to have roles in RNA splicing and transcriptional regulation. We demonstrate that spen acts at multiple points in the ISC lineage with an ISC-intrinsic function in controlling early commitment events of the stem cells and functions in terminally differentiated cells to further limit the proliferation of ISCs. Using two-color cell sorting of stem cells and their daughters, we characterize spen-dependent changes in RNA abundance and exon usage and find potential key regulators downstream of spen. Our work identifies spen as an important regulator of adult stem cells in the Drosophila intestine, provides new insight to Spen-family protein functions, and may also shed light on Spen's mode of action in other developmental contexts.

Long Noncoding RNA uc.173 Promotes Renewal of the Intestinal Mucosa by Inducing Degradation of MicroRNA 195.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND AIMS:The mammalian intestinal epithelium self-renews rapidly and homeostasis is preserved via tightly controlled mechanisms. Long noncoding RNAs transcribed from ultraconserved regions (T-UCRs) control different cell functions, but little is known about their role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelium. We searched for T-UCRs that regulate growth of the intestinal mucosa and investigated the mechanism by which T-UCR uc.173 regulates epithelial renewal. METHODS:C57BL/6J mice were deprived of food for 48 hours in fasting experiments. Some mice were given intraperitoneal injections of a plasmid encoding LNA-anti-uc.173, to knock down endogenous uc.173. For studies using organoids, primary enterocytes were isolated from the intestine and transfected with the uc.173 transgene to increase uc.173 levels. Intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2 and IEC-6 lines) were transfected with LNA-anti-uc.173 or uc.173 transgene. We quantified intestinal epithelial renewal based on BrdU incorporation, villus height and crypt depth, and cell number. The association of uc.173 with microRNA 195 (miRNA195) was determined by RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS:Genome-wide profile analyses identified 21 T-UCRs, including uc.173, that were differentially expressed between intestinal mucosa of fasted vs non-fasted mice. Increasing levels of uc.173 by expression of a transgene increased growth of intestinal epithelial cells and organoids. Decreasing uc.173 levels by LNA-anti-uc.173 in mice reduced renewal of the intestinal epithelium. We found that uc.173 interacted directly with the primary transcript of miRNA195, leading to miRNA195 degradation. CONCLUSIONS:In analyses of intestinal epithelial cells and mice, we identified uc.173 noncoding RNA that regulates growth of the intestinal mucosa and stimulates intestinal epithelial renewal by reducing levels of miRNA195.

Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding domain 2 maintains spermatogonial self-renewal by promoting chromatin accessibility and mRNA stability.

Project description:Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding domain 2 (CHD2) is a chromatin remodeling factor involved in many developmental processes. However, its role in male germ cell development has not been elucidated. Here, we confirm that CHD2 expression is enriched in the male germline. In a heterozygous knockout mouse model of Chd2 (Chd2 +/-), we demonstrated that Chd2 haploinsufficiency resulted in testicular developmental delay, an increased rate of abnormal sperm, and impaired fertility in mice. In vitro experiments in mouse spermatogonia showed that CHD2 knockdown inhibits spermatogonial self-renewal. Mechanistically, CHD2 maintains the enrichment of H3K4me3 in the Ccnb1 and Ccnd2 promotors, consequently promoting the transcription of Ccnb1 and Ccnd2. In addition, CHD2 interacts with the cleavage stimulation factor CSTF3 and upregulates the expression of OCT4 and PLZF by improving mRNA stability. This is the first study to reveal the role and mechanism of CHD2 in maintaining spermatogonial self-renewal.

Long noncoding RNA GAS5-AS1 suppresses growth and metastasis of cervical cancer by increasing GAS5 stability.

Project description:Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Up to date, only a few of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been functionally characterized. Here, we aimed to discover the functional roles of lncRNA GAS5-AS1. The GAS5-AS1 expression in CC tissues was markedly decreased when compared with that in the adjacent normal tissues. The downregulation of GAS5-AS1 was significantly correlated with the advanced FIGO stage, distant metastasis, lymphatic metastasis and poor prognosis in patients with CC. Functionally, GAS5-AS1 drastically reduced CC cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and remarkably suppressed CC tumorigenicity and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, it was found that GAS5-AS1 interacted with the tumor suppressor GAS5, and increased its stability by interacting with RNA demethylase ALKBH5 and decreasing GAS5 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. Moreover, it was shown that m6A-mediated GAS5 RNA degradation relied on the m6A reader protein YTHDF2-dependent pathway. Our findings reveal an important mechanism of epigenetic alteration in CC carcinogenesis and metastasis.

RhoGDIα suppresses self-renewal and tumorigenesis of glioma stem cells.

Project description:Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are a subset of tumor cells that drive glioma initiation and progression. The molecular mechanisms underlying the maintenance of GSCs are still poorly understood. Here we investigated the role of Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor α (RhoGDIα) in GSCs. RhoGDIα was down-regulated in glioma stem cells. Over-expression of RhoGDIα suppressed the self-renewal and tumorigenesis of GSCs. Further data showed that RhoGDIα inhibited the transcription activity of stem cell marker Oct4. Moreover, inactivation of ROCK1, a downstream effector of RhoGDIα, also decreased the self-renewal and Oct4 transcription activity, and rescued the effects caused by RhoGDIα knockdown. Our results indicate that RhoGDIα is involved in the maintenance of GSCs.

Long non-coding RNA TINCR suppresses metastatic melanoma dissemination by preventing ATF4 translation

Project description:Transition from proliferative to invasive phenotypes promotes metastasis and therapy resistance in melanoma. Reversion of the invasive phenotype, however, is challenged by the poor understanding of mechanisms underlying its maintenance. Here, we report that the lncRNA TINCR is down-regulated in metastatic melanoma and its silencing increases the expression levels of invasive markers, in vitro migration, in vivo tumor growth and resistance to BRAF- and MEK-inhibitors. The critical mediator is ATF4, a central player of the integrated stress response (ISR), which is activated in TINCR-depleted cells in the absence of starvation and eIF2? phosphorylation. TINCR depletion increases global protein synthesis and induces translational reprogramming, leading to increased translation of mRNAs encoding ATF4 and other ISR proteins. Strikingly, re-expression of TINCR in metastatic melanoma suppresses the invasive phenotype, reduces numbers of tumor-initiating cells and metastasis formation, and increases drug sensitivity. Mechanistically, TINCR interacts with mRNAs associated with the invasive phenotype, including ATF4, preventing their binding to ribosomes. Thus, TINCR is a suppressor of the melanoma invasive-phenotype, which functions in nutrient-rich conditions by repressing translation of selected ISR RNAs.
