Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, noncoding RNAs that are implicated in the regulation of nearly all biological processes. Global miRNA biogenesis is altered in many cancers and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to play a role in this process, presenting a promising avenue for targeting miRNA dysregulation in disease. miR-34a exhibits tumor-suppressive functions by targeting cell cycle regulators CDK4/6 and anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, among other regulatory pathways such as Wnt, TGF-, and Notch signaling. Many cancers show downregulation or loss of miR-34a, and synthetic miR-34a supplementation has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in vivo; however, the post-transcriptional mechanisms by which miR-34a is lost in cancer are not entirely understood. Here, we have used a proteomics-mediated approach to identify Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T-cells 3 (SART3) as a putative pre-miR-34a-binding protein. SART3 is a spliceosome recycling factor and nuclear RBP with no previously reported role in miRNA regulation. We demonstrate that SART3 binds pre-miR-34a with specificity over pre-let-7d and begin to elucidate a new functional role for this protein in non-small lung cancer cells. Overexpression of SART3 led to increased miR-34a levels, downregulation of the miR-34a target genes CDK4 and CDK6, and cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. In vitro binding studies showed that the RNA-recognition motifs within the SART3 sequence are responsible for selective pre-miR-34a binding. Collectively, our results present evidence for an influential role of SART3 in miR-34a biogenesis and cell cycle progression.

Project description:Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a disorder due to inherited mutations in the TP53 gene resulting in an increased risk of developing several types of cancer. MicroRNA miR-34a has been implicated downstream of p53 on the basis of being a direct transcriptional target and, when over-expressed, having pro-apoptotic phenotypes in cell lines. Moreover, miR-34a has been shown to be a modifier gene in the context of LFS, since its epigenetic silencing increases the likelihood of tumour development in patients with mutant TP53. However, the in vivo consequences of miR-34 loss are still unclear. For example, mice lacking all three (a,b,c) miR-34 homologs show no detectable abnormalities in p53 responses. The relative expression of different miR-34 genes in zebrafish was studied using qRT-PCR with specific assays. The miR-34a, miR-34b and miR-34c display unique onset of developmental expression and expression levels, with miR-34a being the most abundant and constant in expression. All of the miR-34 genes also showed clear induction by p53 when DNA-damaging treatments are performed. Using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, we generated a zebrafish miR-34a deletion mutant to further investigate the roles of miR-34a on its own and its association with the p53 pathway. Predictably, a miR-34a deletion mutant demonstrated absence of miR-34a, though without miR-34b and miR-34c compensation beyond baseline expression levels. Mutants survive to adulthood, show no overt phenotypes and have normal apoptotic responses to DNA-damaging irradiation or camptothecin treatments. To further explore the effects of miR-34a, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq of wild-type and miR-34a deletion mutant zebrafish embryos at 8 hpf. This experiment was motivated by a previous report knock-down of miR-34a in zebrafish leads to dramatic increases in expression of miR-34a target genes. We therefore expected that this experiment will help define the set of miR-34a target genes. The results of this RNA-seq experiment showed that the loss of miR-34a led to large transcriptomic effects at 8 hpf (1573 genes UP and 1679 genes DOWN at 1.5-fold change and FDR < 0.05). There was no significant enrichment of predicted miR-34a target genes among the differentially regulated genes but some interesting biological trends were found and will be described in the paper associated with this dataset.

To further explore the effects of miR-34a, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq of wild-type and miR-34a deletion mutant zebrafish embryos at 72 hpf. We wanted to explore how miR-34a loss affects differentiated organs in larval zebrafish. This resulted in 389 genes UP and 374 genes DOWN at 1.5-fold change and FDR < 0.05. There was no significant enrichment of predicted miR-34a target genes among the differentially regulated genes but some interesting biological trends were found and will be described in the paper associated with this dataset.

To further explore the effects of miR-34a, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq of wild-type and miR-34a deletion mutant zebrafish embryos at 28 hpf with or without treatment with a DNA-damaging drug camptothecin. The results of this RNA-seq experiments showed that the loss of miR-34a does not strongly affect induction of genes by DNA-damage. However, the overall pattern of gene expression is significantly different as shown by Principal Component Analysis and there is a group of about 100 genes which are differentially expressed due to loss of miR-34a. The dataset we present in this submission was used to reach these conclusions.

Project description:Due to microRNAs' (miRs) important functions and high potential for disease diagnosis and therapy, increasing efforts have been put to understand their role in wound repair and identify targetable miRs for wound treatment. However, lack of knowledge about miR-mediated gene expression in human wound tissues hinders the recognition of clinically relevant miRs. Here we profiled genome-wide miR and mRNA expression by RNA-sequencing in the same set of samples from human normal acute wounds and chronic non-healing venous ulcers (VU). By integrative analysis of miR and mRNA omics, we unraveled miR-mediated gene regulatory networks specifically associated with different phases of wound repair or VU. We also identified transcriptional factors and miR arm switching events underpinning the dynamically changed miR expression. In this study, we focused on not only a few top changed miRs, but also the miRs with their targetome enriched in the VU gene signature, such as miR-34a-5p, miR-34c-5p, miR-218-5p, miR-7704, miR-424-5p, miR-450-5p, miR-517b-3p, miR-96-5p, and miR-516b-5p. We confirmed these miRs' targetome in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts using microarrays and demonstrated their functional relevance to VU pathology.

Project description:In this study we set out to characterize the mechanisms by which miR-34c deregulation contribute to PCa progression. The genes regulated by miR-34c in the prostate cancer cell line PC3 were identified by microarray analyses, and the top biofunctional pathways enriched for identified genes were found to be cell death, cell cycle, cellular growth, and cellular movement. One of the identified targets was MET, a receptor protein tyrosine kinase activated by hepatocyte growth factor, that is crucial for metastatic progression. see above

Project description:Oocyte competence is progressively acquired during follicle growth, with large follicles containing more often competent oocytes than small follicles. A competent oocyte is able to mature in vitro, be fertilized, and develop to the blastocyst stage. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their cargo micro RNAs (miRNAs) are critical in mediating intercellular communication inside the follicle and facilitating oocyte maturation. Whether follicular EVs are also involved in the acquisition of oocyte competence in the growing follicle remains unclear. Here, we have been using an individual culture system to distinguish follicular fluid and their corresponding bovine oocytes as competent or noncompetent. We used a qEV single-column method to isolate EVs from follicular fluid. RNA sequencing revealed 16 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in EVs from follicular fluid derived from either competent or noncompetent oocytes . Among the up-regulated miRNAs, we selected bta-miR-34c to further validate its effect on oocyte competence during in vitro maturation using mimics and inhibitors. By supplementing miR-34c mimics to the oocyte maturation medium, we could significantly improve blastocyst quality, as evidenced by higher cell numbers, while supplementation of miR-34c inhibitors produced the opposite effect. Taken together, the up-regulation of miR-34c in EVs derived from follicular fluid from competent oocytes is indicative of its regulatory role, and, when added during in vitro maturation of unselected oocytes, is able to increase total cell number and inner cell mass of resulting embryos, thus contributing to the development of healthy offspring

Project description:miR-34c inhibits Dicer/Pten double knockout mouse serous epithelial cancer cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We found that miR-34c had a more dramatic effect on inhibiting tumor cell viability than let-7b. The action of miR-34c induced tumor cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and apoptosis and was accompanied with the regulation of key genes involved in cell proliferation and cell cycle G1/S transition. miR-34c suppressed the expression of EZH2 and MYBL2, which may transcriptionally and functionally activate CDKN1C.

Project description:Several members from microRNA 17-92 cluster, i.e. miR-19a, miR-19b and miR-20a, were found up-regulated in human epidermal keratinocytes at wound-edges compared to the intact skin; however their biological role in keratinocytes during wound repair has not been studied. To study the genes regulated by miR-19a, miR-19b and miR-20a, we transfected miRNA specific mimics, i.e. pre-miR-19a, pre-miR-19b or pre-miR-20a into human primary epidermal keratinocytes to overexpress them. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of keratinocytes upon overexpression of miR-19a or miR-19b or miR-20a using Affymetrix arrays.
