Investigating the role of Dicer-dependent transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in gene expression regulation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We used sequencing analyses to identify small RNAs that are generated in a Dicer-dependent manner and the genes that are dysregulated upon Dicer knockdown at the mRNA level, and upon Drosha, Dicer and Ago2 knockdown at the chromatin level in HEK293 cells. We found that levels of tRNA-derived sRNAs decreased alongside microRNAs upon Dicer knockdown. Many genes are dysregulated at the chromatin levels when Dicer and Ago2 levels are reduced, indicating that Dicer and Ago2 can regulate genes directly or indirectly at the transcriptional level. Drosha knockdown, on the other hand, has a marginal effect on RNA levels at the chromatin.
