Next generation sequencing of MA-10 mouse Leydig tumor cells facilitates quantitative analysis of SINE B2-antisense transcripts with the RNAi system: wild type and Dicer1-knockdown transcriptomes

ABSTRACT: We report the comparison between SINE B2-AS transcriptome profiling and Dicer1-deficient-cell transcriptome profiling using RNA-seq analysis. We report that thousands of SINE B2 copies encode long B2-AS transcripts, which are constantly degraded by Dicer1. This new class of B2-AS transcripts regulates the expression of SINE B2 sense (B2-S) transcripts. Long B2-S is the main cause of cellular toxicity likely mediated by the multifunctional protein TSPO. Some B2-AS transcripts are putative miRNAs interconnected with the RNAi system. We propose that B2-AS transcripts have evolved as a self-defense mechanism to subvert the host RNAi system.

Project description:More than 97% of the mammalian genome is non-protein coding, and repetitive elements account for more than 50% of noncoding space. However, the functional importance of many non-coding RNAs generated by these elements and their connection with pathologic processes remains elusive. We have previously shown that B2 RNAs, a class of non-coding RNAs that belong to the B2 family of SINE repeats, mediate the transcriptional activation of stress response genes (SRGs) upon application of a stimulus. Notably, B2 RNAs bind RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) and suppress SRG transcription during pro-stimulation state. Upon application of a stimulus, B2 RNAs are processed into fragments and degraded, which in turn releases RNA Pol II from suppression and upregulates SRGs. Here, we demonstrate a novel role for B2 RNAs in transcriptome response to amyloid beta toxicity and pathology in mouse hippocampus. In healthy hippocampi, activation of SRGs is followed by a transient upregulation of pro-apoptotic factors, such as p53 and miRNA-34c, which target SRGs creating a negative feedback loop that facilitates return to the pro-stimulation state. Using an integrative RNA genomics approach, we show that in mouse hippocampi with amyloid pathology and in an in vitro cell culture model of amyloid beta toxicity, this regulatory loop is dysfunctional due to increased levels of B2 RNA processing, constitutively elevated SRG expression and high p53 levels. Evidence indicates that Hsf1, a master regulator of stress response, mediates B2 RNA processing in cells, and is upregulated during amyloid toxicity accelerating the processing of SINE RNAs and SRG hyper-activation. This data attributes a role to SINE RNA processing in a pathological process as well as a new function to Hsf1 that is independent of its transcription factor activity. Our study reveals that in mouse, SINE RNAs constitute a novel pathway deregulated in amyloid beta pathology, with potential implications for similar cases in the human brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
