Project description:The small intestine is a rapidly proliferating organ that is maintained by a small population of Lgr5-expressing intestinal stem cells (ISCs). However, several Lgr5-negative ISC populations have been identified, and this remarkable plasticity allows the intestine to rapidly respond to both the local environment and to damage. The mediators of such plasticity are still largely unknown. Using intestinal organoids and mouse models, we show that upon ribosome impairment (driven by Rptor deletion, amino acid starvation, or low dose cyclohexamide treatment) ISCs gain an Lgr5-negative, fetal-like identity. This is accompanied by a rewiring of metabolism. Our findings suggest that the ribosome can act as a sensor of nutrient availability, allowing ISCs to respond to the local nutrient environment. Mechanistically, we show that this phenotype requires the activation of ZAKɑ, which in turn activates YAP, via SRC. Together, our data reveals a central role for ribosome dynamics in intestinal stem cells, and identify the activation of ZAKɑ as a critical mediator of stem cell identity.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a large class of animal RNAs. To investigate possible circRNA functions, it is important to understand circRNA biogenesis. Besides human Alu repeats, sequence features that promote exon circularization are largely unknown. We experimentally identified new circRNAs in C. elegans. Reverse complementary sequences between introns bracketing circRNAs were significantly enriched compared to linear controls. By scoring the presence of reverse complementary sequences in human introns we predicted and experimentally validated novel circRNAs. We show that introns bracketing circRNAs are highly enriched in RNA editing or hyper-editing events. Knockdown of the double-strand RNA editing ADAR1 enzyme significantly and specifically up-regulated circRNA expression. Together, our data support a model of animal circRNA biogenesis in which competing RNA:RNA interactions of introns form larger structures which promote circularization of embedded exons, while ADAR1 antagonizes circRNA expression by melting stems within these interactions. Thus, we assign a new function to ADAR1. Examination of 12 samples in different stages of C.elegans development.

Project description:We used unbiased whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to identify DNA methylation changes in the intestinal stem cells (ISCs) or their progeny during the suckling period of mouse colon development. Lgr5-EGFP mice were used to identify ISC populations in the colons. WGBS were performed using EGFP labeled Lgr5+ ISCs and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) labeled epithelial cells isolated at the beginning and end of the suckling period (postnatal day 0-P0 and P21).

Project description:Circular RNA expression profiling of human nucleus pulposus derived from patients with IDD in comparison with those derived from cadaveric disc as normal control. We have identified the expression profiles of miRNAs (GSE63492), lncRNAs, mRNAs (GSE56081) in IDD using 5 normal discs as control and 5 IDD discs. Accumulating evidence indicates that circRNAs are key regulators of gene expression by interacting with miRNAs. circRNA is a novel type of RNA that, unlike linear RNA, forms a covalently closed continuous loop, and is highly represented in the eukaryotic transcriptome. Two-condition experiment: control nucleus pulposus vs. degenerative nucleus pulposus. Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 degenerated, independently harvested (the same samples as GSE56081 and GSE63492). Four replicates per array.

Project description:Arraystar Human circRNA Microarray is designed for the global profiling of human circRNAs. In this study, we applied a circRNA microarray to screen the potential biomarker for HCC. 20 samples extracted from plasma samples including HCC group before operation, and after operation, CH group and control group. Each group contained five samples.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an endogenous class of animal RNAs. Despite their abundance, their function and expression in the nervous system are unknown. Therefore, we sequenced RNA from different brain regions, primary neurons, isolated synapses, as well as during neuronal differentiation. Using these and other available data, we discovered and analyzed thousands of neuronal human and mouse circRNAs. circRNAs were extraordinarily enriched in the mammalian brain, well conserved in sequence, often expressed as circRNAs in both human and mouse, and sometimes even detected in Drosophila brains. circRNAs were overall upregulated during neuronal differentiation, highly enriched in synapses, and often differentially expressed compared to their mRNA isoforms. circRNA expression correlated negatively with expression of the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1. Knockdown of ADAR1 induced elevated circRNA expression. Together, we provide a circRNA brain expression atlas and evidence for important circRNA functions and values as biomarkers. To assess circRNA expression in mammalian brain, we sequenced and analyzed mouse brain regions (hippocampus, cerebellum, prefrontal cortex and olfactory bulb), various neuronal differentiation (mouse P19 and human SH-SY5Y cells) and maturation (mouse cortical neurons) stages, and subcellular compartments in mouse (synaptoneurosomal fraction, cytoplasmic fraction, whole brain lysate).

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a noncoding RNA class originating from alternative splicing, are highly abundant in neural tissues and were shown to regulate gene expression e.g. by interacting with microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins. Neuroblastoma is an embryonal neoplasia, which arises from undifferentiated neural crest cells. Here, we aimed to explore, whether circRNAs influence the pathogenesis of high-risk neuroblastoma. We performed whole-transcriptome sequencing of 104 primary neuroblastoma samples of all risk-groups and identified 5,203 unique circRNAs involving 2,302 genes. Candidate circRNA expression did not correlate with host gene expression, indicating independent regulatory mechanisms. circRNAs were significantly downregulated in the MYCN-amplified high-risk tumors. These findings were independently reproduced in a tetracycline-inducible MYCN-overexpression system based on a non MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell line, suggesting that MYCN drives this global circRNA repression. We identified the RNA helicase DHX9 as a mediator of this global suppressive effect of MYCN on circRNAs. Comparing our RNA sequencing data with other cancers and controls revealed a circRNA subset specifically upregulated in neuroblastoma that included a circRNA derived from the ARID1A tumor suppressor gene. Specific circARID1A knockdown resulted in reduced proliferation, cell numbers and viability, prompted apoptosis and induced a differentiated phenotype. Neither knockdown, nor overexpression of circARID1A influenced ARID1A mRNA and protein levels significantly. To dissect the potential mode of function, we performed a pulldown assay with subsequent mass spectrometry. We identified the RNA-binding protein KHSRP as an interaction partner that participates in the mechanism of action of circARID1A. In summary, this study highlights an important role of circRNAs in neuroblastoma biology and may establish this RNA class as a future therapeutic target and biomarker.

Project description:The human genome encodes tens of thousands circular RNAs (circRNAs) whose levels correlate with many disease states. While studies have focused on the non-coding functions of circRNAs, emerging evidence suggests that a handful of circRNAs encode proteins. Translation canonically starts by recognition of mRNA 5’cap and scanning to the start codon; how circRNA translation initiates remains unclear. Here, we developed a high-throughput screen to systematically identify and quantify RNA sequences that can direct circRNA translation. We identify and validate over 17,000 circRNA internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) and reveal that 18S rRNA complementarity and a structured RNA element on the IRES are important for facilitating circRNA cap-independent translation. With genomic and peptidomic analyses of the IRES, we identified nearly 1,000 putative endogenous protein-coding circRNAs and hundreds of translational units encoded by these circRNAs. We further characterized circFGFR1p, a protein encoded by circFGFR1, functions as a negative regulator of FGFR1 to suppress cell growth under stress conditions. The circRNA proteome may be important links among circRNA, biological control, and disease.
