Chromatin isolation by RNA immunoprecipitation (ChIRP) for the long non-coding RNA Pvt1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important players in the regulation of several aspects of cellular biology. For a better comprehension of their function it is fundamental to determine their expression in single cells, to identify their subcellular localization and eventually DNA interacting regions. In fact, lncRNAs present a cell-type specific expression and different functions depending on their subcellular localization. C2C12 cells are a model to study muscle pathophysiology and differentiation. We used this model to evaluate Pvt1-DNA interacting regions. We demonstrated that the lncRNA Pvt1, early activated during muscle atrophy, regulate the transcription of DNA and influence mitochondrial respiration and morphology ultimately impinging mito/autophagy and myofiber size in vivo. We evidenced that the long non-coding RNA Pvt1 is highly expressed during skeletal muscle atrophy. Moreover, it is preferentially expressed in fast contracting myofibers. By using high throughput techniques and Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization we evidenced that Pvt1 localize inside the nucleai of myofibers and C2C12 cells. C2C12 cells are widely used as in vitro model to study different aspects of muscle biology such as development, differentiation and metabolism. Because Pvt1 nuclear localization we checked its capacity to interact with DNA by Chromatin isolation by RNA purification (ChIRP).
