Sequence and Expression Levels of Circular-RNAs in Progenitor Cell Types During Mouse Corticogenesis

ABSTRACT: Circular (circ) RNAs have recently emerged as a novel class of non coding transcripts whose identification and function remain elusive. Among many tissues and species, the mammalian brain is the organ in which circRNAs are more abundant and in which the first evidence of functional significance started to emerge. Yet, even within this well studied organ, annotation of circRNAs remains fragmentary, their sequence is unknown and their expression patterns in specific cell types was never investigated. Overcoming these limitations, here we provide the first comprehensive identification of circRNAs and their expression in proliferating neural stem cells, neurogenic progenitors and newborn neurons of the developing mouse cortex. Extending the current knowledge about the diversity of this class of transcripts by the identification of nearly 4,000 new circRNAs, our study is the first to provide the full sequence information and expression patterns of circRNAs in specific cell types and representing the lineage toward neurogenic commitment. We further exploited our data by evaluating the coding potential, evolutionary conservation and biogenesis of circRNAs that we found to arise from a specific sub-class of linear mRNAs. Our study provides the arising field of circRNA biology with a new resource essential to address the complexity and potential biological significance of this new class of transcripts

Project description:In plants, MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of endogenous small RNAs that play essential regulatory roles in plant growth, development and stress response. Extensive studies of miRNAs have been performed in model plants such as rice, Arabidopsis thaliana and other plants. However, the number of miRNAs discovered in maize is relatively low and little is known about miRNAs involved in the four stages during maize ear development. Here, we use deep-sequencing, miRNA microarray assays and computational methods to identify, proM-oM-,M-^Ale, and describe conserved and non-conserved miRNAs at four developmental stages. A total of 27 conserved miRNA families were identiM-oM-,M-^Aed in all four stages, In addition to known miRNAs, we also found 23 new maize-specific miRNAs together with their star strands. We have also shown that almost all of them originated from single genes. We have found that many known and new miRNAs showed temporally expression. Finally, a total of 251 transcripts (140 genes) targeted by 102 small RNAs including 98 miRNAs and 4 ta-siRNAs were identified by genomic-scale high-throughput sequencing of miRNA cleaved mRNAs.This study led to the confirmation of the authenticity of 27 conserved miRNA families and the discovery of 23 novel miRNAs in maize. In addition, we have identified 130 targets of known and new miRNAs and ta-siRNA using recently developed tools for the global identification of miRNA targets. Identification and characterization of this important class of regulatory genes in maize may improve our understanding of molecular mechanism controlling flower development. The seeds of maize inbred line B73 were first sterilized and germinated in an incubator, then grown in a controlled environment with 28M-BM-0C/21M-BM-0C (day/night) under a 16-h day/8-h night photoperiod with a relative humidity of 70%. Ear development can be divided into four stages: the growth point elongation phase, spikelet differentiation phase, the floret primordium differentiation phase and floret organ differentiation phase. Plant materials (ears) were collected as described previously. In brief, ears were manually collected at the four developmental stages according to the plant features (number of visible leaves, leaf age index, and number of unfolded and folded leaves) combined with microscopic observation.
