Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNA) are special non-coding RNAs. They are widely present, but with unknown functions. Recent studies have shown that many endogenous circRNAs have sponge function to absorb microRNAs. They can regulate target gene mRNA expression and play important roles in many biological processes. However, expression profile and function of circRNAs in human TSCC haven’t been reported. High-throughput sequencing was performed to identify and annotate from three TSCC tissues and adjacent tissues. A separate set (n=20) of human TSCCs and corresponding adjacent tissues were subjected to RT-PCR for validation of circular RNAs expression profile. GO functional analysis, KEGG pathway analysis, and circRNA–microRNA network analysis were also performed to predict the function of circRNA in TSCC.A total of 12,156 circRNAs were identified and annotated, most of the circRNAs were novel (n=6,231) and exonic (62.09%). Statistical analysis revealed 322 differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs. RT-PCR results showed that circRNA expression in TSCC was higher than that in adjacent tissues. GO functional analysis, KEGG pathway analysis, and circRNA–microRNA network analysis all showed that circRNAs correlated with tumor development and progression to a certain extent. The present study is the first to systematically characterize and annotate circRNA expression in TSCC, the majority were novel circRNAs. Some host genes of the DE circRNAs were involved in tumor signaling pathway and had complicated correlations with tumor-relevant microRNAs, indicating that circRNAs might be promoted development and progression of TSCC.

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify aberrantly expressed lncRNAs, circular RNAs and the associated TF‐mRNA network in TSCC. Methods: Tongue tumor noncoding and mRNA profiles of tongue squamous cell carcinoma and adjacent noncancerous tissues were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 4000. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow. Conclusions: we found a profile of dysregulated lncRNAs, TFs and mRNAs that could serve as prospective clinical biomarkers because of their tissue specificity and association with the tumorigenesis and progression of TSCC.

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:41% of all oral carcinomas have been found to localize at tongue, where they were characterized as being aggressive and having capacity to locally invade and relapse frequently. Despite considerable enhancements in the cancer diagnosis and treatment techniques, tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) still remains to be one of the most common and lethal cancer types in the head and neck region. In this study, we aimed to identify a signature of saliva-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) expression in TSCC patients. To explore putative diagnostic biomarkers, we compared the miRNA profiles of saliva samples obtained from 3 TSCC patients and 4 healthy control individual using Agilent miRNA microarray (V19). Three of the differentially expressed miRNAs were selected for further validation with quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) using saliva samples of 25 TSCC patients and 25 healthy control individuals. Microarray analysis demonstrated that 428 miRNA probes were deregulated in TSCC patients when compared to control group and qRT-PCR results validated the reduced expression of miR-139-5p in TSCC saliva. Further analysis of post-operative saliva samples of TSCC patients revealed that miR-139-5p level elevated to normal level after surgery, pointing its diagnostic and prognostic power. As a conclusion, we propose saliva as a feasible source in routine patient examination for early diagnosis of TSCC patients, and our results suggest saliva miR-139-5p as a novel potential diagnostic marker.

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:In platelets, splicing and translation occur in the absence of a nucleus. However, the integrity and stability of mRNAs derived from megakaryocyte progenitor cells remain poorly quantified on a transcriptome-wide level. As circular RNAs (circRNAs) are resistant to degradation by exonucleases, their abundance relative to linear RNAs can be used as a surrogate marker for mRNA stability in the absence of transcription. Here we show that circRNAs are enriched in human platelets 17-188 fold relative to nucleated tissues, and 14-26 fold relative to samples digested with RNAseR to selectively remove linear RNA. We compare RNAseq read depths inside and outside circRNAs to provide in silico evidence of transcript circularity, show that exons within circRNAs are enriched ~13X in platelets relative to nucleated tissues, and identify 3162 genes significantly enriched for circRNAs including some where all RNAs appear to be derived from circular molecules. We also confirm that this is a feature of other anucleate cells through transcriptome sequencing of mature erythrocytes, demonstrate that circRNAs are not enriched in megakaryocytes, and that linear RNAs decay more rapidly than circRNAs in platelet preparations. Collectively, these results suggest that circulating platelets have lost on aveage over 90% of their progenitor mRNAs, and that translation in platelets occurrs against the backdrop of a highly degraded transcriptome. Finally, we find that transcripts classified as products of reverse transcriptase template switching are both enriched in platelets and resistant to decay, countering the recent suggestion that up to 50% of rearranged RNAs are artefacts. A single rRNA depleted total RNA sample was sequenced. This together with 25 publicly available rRNA depleted total RNA samples (including 3 from platelets) were analysed using PTESFinder v 1 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ptesfinder-v1/) to identify back-splice junctions, characteristic of circRNA transcripts. The contribution of circRNA producing exons was analysed on a gene by gene basis as follows: All circRNA transcripts identified in any sample were first pooled to define exons which can contribute to circRNA generation using custom scripts (available on request). For each sample, expression estimates (RPKMI) across all circRNA producing exons were computed for each locus using the total size of exons (in bp) and the read counts mapping to them. Similarly, total size and exonic read counts for exons for which no circRNA were detected in any sample were used to compute expression estimates (RPKME) for non-circRNA producing exons for each locus. Abundance ratios (RPKMI/RPKME and RPKMI/RPKMI+RPKME) were calculated and compared between Platelets and human tissues using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Project description:The current study analyzed a unique, serum-free medium derived tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) line termed LK0412 relative to the normal state to elucidate biomarkers at the protein and transcript level. A bioinformatics approach using Gene Ontology categories, gene networks and signature evaluation was applied to combine the protein and transcript data for identification of various gene signatures. The generated signatures were further assessed in public available data sets from normal and tumor tongue tissues. The analysis identified a novel gene signature that may improve the diagnosis and treatment of TSCC.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), formed by the atypical head-to-tail splicing of exons, have re-emerged as a potentially interesting RNA species given recent reports of a surprising diversity and abundance of circRNA in organisms ranging from worm to human. Here, using deep RNA sequencing, we profiled different RNA species in mouse and observed that circRNAs are significantly enriched in neural tissue, relative to other tissues. Using PacBio sequencing, we determined, for the first time, the circular structure of this population of circRNAs as well as their full-length sequences. We discovered that a disproportionate fraction of the brain circRNA population is derived from host genes that code for synaptic proteins. Moreover, based on the separate profiling of the RNAs localized in neuronal cell bodies and neuropil (enriched in axons and dendrites), we found that, on average, circular RNAs are more enriched in the neuropil than their host gene mRNA isoforms. Using high resolution in situ hybridization we, for the first time, directly visualized circRNA punctae in the dendrites of neurons. The host gene origin and location of the circRNA in neurons suggest the possibility that circRNAs might participate in the regulation of synaptic function and plasticity. Consistent with this idea, we observed via profiling at different developmental stages, that the abundance of many circular RNAs changes abruptly at a time corresponding to synaptogenesis. In addition, following a homeostatic downscaling of neuronal activity many circRNAs exhibit significant up or down-regulation. These data indicate that brain circRNAs are positioned to respond to and regulate synaptic function.
