The genomic landscape of microRNA-target interactions in human cells

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs play important roles in physiology and pathology by repressing target gene expression, but it remains challenging to identify targets and regulatory networks on a global scale. MicroRNAs often pair with targets complementary to nucleotide 2 to 7, but such complementarity is not always found within targets. Here we show global views of microRNA-target interactions with unparalleled resolution and confidence by conducting a series of UV-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation experiments for AGO2. Our data indicate that direct interactions are mainly guided by seed complementarity. However, we find that different microRNAs recognize atypical sites with varying tolerance to mismatches. Pathway enrichment analyses reveal that many target genes encoding constituents of the same pathways such as Hippo and Wnt, yet unexpectedly, both positive and negative components are targeted by identical and/or different microRNAs from a same polycistronic cluster. The prevalence of incoherent feedforward loops epitomizes the complexity of microRNA-target networks and the pitfalls of reductionistic inference of miRNA functions. Our results illuminate target sites of miRNAs and regulatory networks that facilitate a deeper understanding of miRNA functions.

Proteomics of U1810 cells upon treatment with microRNAs with an AAGUGC seed motif.

Project description:microRNA dysregulation is a common feature of cancer cells, but the complex roles of microRNAs in cancer are not fully elucidated. Here we used functional genomics to identify oncogenic microRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer and to evaluate their impact on response to EGFR targeting therapy. Our data demonstrate that microRNAs with an AAGUGC-motif in their seed-sequence increase both cancer cell proliferation and sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors. Global transcriptomics, proteomics and target prediction resulted in the identification of several tumor suppressors involved in the G1/S transition as targets of AAGUGC-microRNAs. The clinical implications of our findings were evaluated by analysis of public domain data supporting the link between this microRNA seed-family, their tumor suppressor targets and cancer cell proliferation. In conclusion we propose that AAGUGC-microRNAs are an integral part of an oncogenic signaling network, and that these findings have potential therapeutic implications, especially in selecting patients for EGFR-targeting therapy.

Interplay between HIV-1 infection and host microRNAs

Project description:Using microRNA array analyses of in vitro HIV-1-infected CD4+ cells, we find that several host microRNAs are significantly up- or downregulated around the time HIV-1 infection peaks in vitro. While microRNA-223 levels were significantly enriched in HIV-1-infected CD4+CD8? PBMCs, microRNA-29a/b, microRNA-155 and microRNA-21 levels were significantly reduced. Based on the potential for microRNA binding sites in a conserved sequence of the Nef-3?-LTR, several host microRNAs potentially could affect HIV-1 gene expression. Among those microRNAs, the microRNA-29 family has seed complementarity in the HIV-1 3?-UTR, but the potential suppressive effect of microRNA-29 on HIV-1 is severely blocked by the secondary structure of the target region. Our data support a possible regulatory circuit at the peak of HIV-1 replication which involves downregulation of microRNA-29, expression of Nef, the apoptosis of host CD4 cells and upregulation of microRNA-223.

Diverse endonucleolytic cleavage sites in the mammalian transcriptome depend upon microRNAs, Drosha, and additional nucleases

Project description:Messenger RNAs are regulated by a variety of degradation mechanisms in mammalian cells. In the canonical animal microRNA pathway, microRNAs in complex with Argonaute proteins bind to many mRNA targets with imperfect complementarity, leading to degradation of the mRNA through the regular decay machinery. The ancestral “slicer” endonuclease activity of Argonaute2 itself, which requires more extensive complementarity with the target RNA, is not used in this pathway, and has only been observed in two microRNA-guided cases. Nevertheless, the cleavage capacity of mammalian Ago2 is conserved and essential for viability. Here, we assess the endonucleolytic function of Ago2 and other nucleases by identifying cleavage products retaining 5`-phosphate groups in mouse ES cells on a transcriptome-wide scale. We detect a significant signature of Ago2-dependent cleavage events and validate several targets. Unexpectedly, a broader class of Ago2-independent cleavage sites is also observed, indicating participation of additional nucleases in this mode of mRNA regulation. Within this class, we identify a cohort of Drosha-dependent mRNA cleavage events, including one in the Dgcr8 mRNA, that functionally regulate mRNA levels in mES cells. Together, these results highlight the underappreciated role of endonucleolytic cleavage in controlling mRNA fates in mammals.

Identifying mRNA Sequence Elements for Target Recognition by Human Argonaute Proteins

Project description:It is commonly known that mammalian microRNAs guide the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to target mRNAs through the seed-pairing rule. However, recent experiments by co-immunoprecipitating the argonaute proteins (AGOs), the central catalytic component of RISC, have consistently revealed extensive AGO-associated mRNAs lacking seed complementarity with microRNAs. We herein test the hypothesis that AGO has its own binding preference within target mRNAs, independent of guide microRNAs. By systematically analyzing the data from in vivo cross-linking experiments with human AGOs, we have identified a structurally accessible and evolutionarily conserved region (~10 nucleotides) that alone can accurately predict AGO-mRNA associations, independent of the presence of microRNA binding sites. Within this region, we further identified an enriched motif that is also consistently present in several independent AGO-immunoprecipitation datasets. We used RNAcompete to enumerate the RNA-binding preference of human AGO2 to all possible 7-mer RNA sequences, and validated our motif in vitro. These findings reveal a novel function of AGOs as sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins, which may aid microRNAs in recognizing their targets with high specificity. Here, we analyze the RNA-binding preference of human Argonaute 2 protein using RNAcompete assay

Target repression induced by endogenous microRNAs: large differences, small effects

Project description:MicroRNAs are small RNAs that regulate protein levels. It is commonly assumed that the expression level of a microRNA is directly correlated with its repressive activity – that is, highly expressed microRNAs will repress their target mRNAs more. Here we investigate the quantitative relationship between endogenous microRNA expression and repression for 32 mature microRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells. In general, we find that more abundant microRNAs repress their targets to a greater degree. However, the relationship between expression and repression is nonlinear, such that a 10-fold greater microRNA concentration produces only a 10% increase in target repression. The expression/repression relationship is the same for both dominant guide microRNAs and minor mature products (so-called passenger strands/microRNA* sequences). However, we find examples of microRNAs whose cellular concentrations differ by several orders of magnitude, yet induce similar repression of target mRNAs. Likewise, microRNAs with similar expression can have very different repressive abilities. We show that the association of microRNAs with Argonaute proteins does not explain this variation in repression. The observed relationship is consistent with the limiting step in target repression being the association of the microRNA/RISC complex with the target site. These findings argue that modest changes in cellular microRNA concentration will have minor effects on repression of targets.

A ubiquitin ligase mediates target-directed microRNA decay independently of tailing and trimming [TDMD]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act in concert with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to broadly repress mRNA targets. After AGO loading, miRNAs generally exhibit slow turnover. An important exception occurs when miRNAs encounter targets with extensive complementarity, which can trigger a process termed target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD). Prevailing models of TDMD invoke miRNA tailing and trimming as an essential step in the decay mechanism. Here, a genome-wide screen revealed a novel cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase, which we named the DECAY complex, that mediates TDMD. The DECAY complex interacts with AGO proteins, mediates TDMD induced by multiple transcripts, and does not require tailing and trimming to elicit miRNA turnover. Based upon these findings, we propose a model in which the DECAY complex mediates TDMD by promoting proteasomal decay of miRNA-containing complexes.
