Translated Long Non-Coding Ribonucleic Acid ZFAS1 Promotes Cancer Cell Migration by Elevating Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Micropeptides (≤100 amino acids) are essential regulators of physiological and pathological processes, which can be encoded by small open reading frames (smORFs) derived from long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Recently, lncRNA-encoded micropeptides have been shown to have essential roles in tumorigenesis. Since translated smORF identification remains technically challenging, little is known of their pathological functions in cancer. Therefore, we created classifiers to identify translated smORFs derived from lncRNAs based on ribosome-protected fragment sequencing and machine learning methods. In total, 537 putative translated smORFs were identified and the coding potential of five smORFs was experimentally validated via green fluorescent protein-tagged protein generation and mass spectrometry. After analyzing 11 lncRNA expression profiles of seven cancer types, we identified one validated translated lncRNA, ZFAS1, which was significantly up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Functional studies revealed that ZFAS1 can promote cancer cell migration by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species production by inhibiting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase expression, indicating that translated ZFAS1 may be an essential oncogene in the progression of HCC. In this study, we systematically identified translated smORFs derived from lncRNAs and explored their potential pathological functions in cancer to improve our comprehensive understanding of the building blocks of living systems

Identification of translated small open reading frames in lymphocytes

Project description:Open reading frames (ORFs) are the genomic DNA sequences that have the potential to be translated. Genome annotation pipelines dismiss translation products of small ORFs (smORFs) of less than 100 codons (<300 nucleotides) as being unlikely to have a biological function. In this study, we systematically characterized smORFs in mouse B and T cells under different conditions and predicted a total of 5744 unique actively translated smORFs. We then extended our analysis to ORFs of 101-200 codons in length and predicted 945 of such longer translation products. Additionally, our results have suggested the existence of candidate secreted micropeptides. Furthermore, verifying their existence and identifying their functions will be essential and potentially lead to useful applications.

A vast pool of microproteins encoded by long non-coding RNAs in plants

Project description:Thousands of small open reading frames (smORFs, <100 aa) located on lncRNAs potentially might be translated into peptides or small proteins. We report a comprehensive analysis of the conservation and evolutionary trajectories of smORFs across different plant taxa. For thousands of smORFs, we demonstrate remarkable conservation and significant purifying selection, indicative of their functionality. The expression of the lncRNAs and translation of the smORFs are validated by RNA-sequencing and proteomics, respectively.

lncRNAs and mRNAs expression profile in liver diseases including HCC

Project description:Sustained hepatic inflammation can contribute to cancer initiation and progression via tumor-initiating cell expansion, but underlying mechanisms remains unknown. Expression profiles of lncRNAs/mRNAs were measured in normal, chronic hepatitis, cirrhotic and cancerous livers. We found abundant disease-related lncRNAs/mRNAs deregulated across different stages of inflammation-triggered liver disease and refined a transformation gene signature to distinguish pathological liver tissues. Amongst this signature, a conserved lncRNA DANCR was silenced in normal adult liver, but overexpressed in fetal and cancerous livers. Remarkably, increased DANCR significantly correlates with poor prognosis in multiple-center cohorts and is directly induced by inflammatory pathways including NF-ÎºB and STAT3. DANCR could suppress cell differentiation and drive expansion of tumor-initiating cells, leading to chemoresistance. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo inhibition confirms the significance of DANCR as a therapeutic target when combined with other chemotherapy. We illustrate the role of DANCR relies on the regulation of CTNNB1 in a novel miRNA-blocking manner. Our studies reveal the expression of lncRNAs/mRNAs in normal and pathological livers and suggest the importance of oncofetal lncRNA DANCR in inflammation-induced malignant transformation, offering a potential prognostic marker and a therapeutic target for HCC. In the study, 10 normal livers (NL), 10 chronic inflammatory livers (IL), 10 cirrhotic livers (CL), 13 early HCC (eHCC) and 13 advanced HCC (aHCC) samples were profiled their lncRNA/mRNA expression

Screening for micropeptides in HUVEC without tryptic digestion, part 1

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are transcribed but not translated ribonucleic acids with various functions. We analyzed a so far unreported lncRNA n342419, which we named MANTIS. A search for micropeptides after overexpression of MANTIS in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) with subsequent LC-MS/MS without trypsination showed that none of the micropeptides found had any similarity to potential MANTIS ORFs, whereas the positive control yielded micropeptides encoded from GFP plasmid.

Long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs expression analysis of HCC

Project description:Although many protein-coding genes have been identified to be aberrantly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the mechanisms that account for development and progression of HCC remain unclear. In recent years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have critical regulatory roles in mammalian cell biology. Many lncRNAs can result in aberrant expression of gene products that may contribute to cancer biology. In this study, we first identified non-overlapping signatures of a small number of lncRNAs that are aberrantly expressed in human HCC compared with paired peritumoral tissues. Then we used real-time PCR to validate five lncRNAs whose expression was altered in HCC compared with paired peritumoral tissues. Using loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches, we found that an lncRNA (termed lncRNA-HEIH) plays a key role in cell cycle regulation. We further demonstrated that lncRNA-HEIH bound to enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and that this interaction was required for the repression of EZH2 target genes. Together, these results reveal insights into the molecular regulation mechanisms of HCC cell cycle regulation and lead us to propose that lncRNAs may serve as key regulatory hubs in cancer biology. A ten chip study using total RNA recovered from five separate HCC tissues and five corresponding paired non-tumor samples.

Coordinated regulation by lncRNAs results in tight lncRNA–target couplings

Project description:The determination of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) function is a major challenge in RNA biology with applications to basic, translational, and medical research. Our efforts to improve the accuracy of lncRNA-target inference identified lncRNAs that coordinately regulate both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional processing of their targets. Namely, these lncRNAs may regulate the transcription of their target and chaperone the resulting message until its translation, leading to tightly coupled lncRNA and target abundance. Our analysis suggested that hundreds of cancer genes are coordinately and tightly regulated by lncRNAs and that this unexplored regulatory paradigm may propagate the effects of non-coding alterations to effectively dysregulate gene expression programs. As a proof-of-principle we studied the regulation of DICER1—a cancer gene that controls microRNA biogenesis—by the lncRNA ZFAS1, showing that ZFAS1 activates DICER1 transcription and blocks its post-transcriptional repression to phenomimic and regulate DICER1 and its target microRNAs.

lncRNA-ZFAS1, an emerging gate-keeper in DNA damage-dependent transcriptional regulation [CDK9 ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are generated in response to external stimuli, but the scope and functions of such activity are not known. Here, we provide insight into how the transcription of lncRNAs are connected to DNA damage response by identifying a lncRNA ZFAS1, which is required for cell cycle arrest, transcription regulation and DNA repair. Mechanistically, ZFAS1 facilitates the changing hyperphosphorylated forms of the large subunit of RNAPII around transcription initiation sites by directly targeting the regulated genes. We revealed extensive transcription shutdown and concomitant stimulated engagement of RNAPII-Ser2P are crucial for repair and cell survival upon genotoxic stress. Finally, ZFAS1 knockout in mice dampened transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) and led to kidney dysplasia. Our study extends the understanding of lncRNAs in DNA damage repair (DDR) and implies a protective role of lncRNA against DDR-deficient developmental disorders.
