454 Life Sciences/Roche and Illumina sequencing of small RNAs from planarian samples

ABSTRACT: Freshwater planarian flatworms possess uncanny regenerative capacities mediated by abundant and collectively totipotent adult stem cells. Key functions of these cells during regeneration and tissue homeostasis have been shown to depend on PIWI, a molecule required for piRNA expression in planarians. Nevertheless, the full complement of piRNAs, and microRNAs (miRNAs) in this organism has yet to be defined. Here, we report on the large scale cloning and sequencing of small RNAs from the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, yielding altogether millions of sequenced unique small RNAs. We show that piRNAs are in part organized in genomic clusters and that they share characteristic features with mammalian and fly piRNAs. We further identify 61 novel miRNA genes and thus double the number of known planarian miRNAs. Sequencing, as well as quantitative PCR of small RNAs uncovered ten miRNAs enriched in planarian stem cells. These miRNAs are down-regulated in animals in which stem cells have been abrogated by irradiation, and thus constitute miRNAs likely associated with specific stem cell functions. Altogether, we present the first comprehensive small RNA analysis in animals belonging to the third animal superphylum, the Lophotrochozoa, and single out a number of miRNAs that may function in regeneration. Several of these miRNAs are deeply conserved in animals.

Planarians recruit piRNAs for mRNA turnover in adult stem cells

Project description:PIWI proteins utilize small RNAs called piRNAs to silence transposable elements, thereby protecting germline integrity. In planarian flatworms, PIWI proteins are essential for regeneration, which requires adult stem cells termed neoblasts. Here, we characterize planarian piRNAs and examine the roles of PIWI proteins in neoblast biology. We find that the planarian PIWI proteins SMEDWI-2 and SMEDWI-3 cooperate to degrade active transposons via the ping-pong cycle. Unexpectedly, we discover that SMEDWI-3 plays an additional role in planarian mRNA surveillance. While SMEDWI-3 degrades numerous neoblast mRNAs in a homotypic ping-pong cycle, it is also guided to another subset of neoblast mRNAs by antisense piRNAs and binds these without degrading them. Mechanistically, the distinct activities of SMEDWI-3 are primarily dictated by the degree of complementarity between target mRNAs and antisense piRNAs. Planarian PIWI proteins thus act as both nucleases and RNA-binding proteins, enabling planarians to repurpose piRNAs for critical roles in neoblast mRNA turnover.

Characterization of small RNAs in the different developmental stages of carcinogenic parasite-Clonorchis sinensis

Project description:Clonorchiasis is a foodborne zoonotic disease caused by Clonorchis sinensis which belongs to trematodes with a complex lifecycle, there are increasing evidences that small RNAs including microRNAs and PIWI-interacting RNAs can participate in regulation of embryonic development. However, there is little information about the small RNAs in the different developmental stages of C. sinensis. In the present study, we investigated profiles of miRNAs and piRNAs in the different developmental stages including eggs, metacercaria and adults of C. sinensis using high-throughout sequencing technology. We found that 152 miRNAs for adults, 147 miRNAs for metacercariae and 161 miRNAs for eggs were identified, of these miRNAs, 52 miRNAs were universally expressed in these three developmental stage. For piRNAs, we also found that there were a total of 4573 piRNAs in adult worms, 3189 piRNAs in eggs and 3853 piRNAs in metacercariae, respectively, and 1127, 426, 756 piRNAs were absolutely expressed only in adults, eggs and metacercariae, respectively. These stage-specific small RNAs might be involved in various biological process and environmental adaption for parasitism as showed by GO and KEGG pathway analysis. The data of present study may provide a basis for future targeting at these stage-specific small RNAs for prevention and control clonorchisias.

Analysis of miRNA, piRNA and siRNA in Caenorhabditis species

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains each of the broad classes of eukaryotic small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), endogenous small-interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). To better understand the evolution of these regulatory RNAs, we deep sequenced small RNAs from C. elegans and three closely related nematodes: C. briggsae, C. remanei and C. brenneri. The results reveal a fluid landscape of small RNA pathways with essentially no conservation of individual sequences aside from a subset of miRNAs. We identified 52 miRNA families that are conserved in each of the four species as well as numerous miRNAs that are species specific or shared between only two or three species. Despite a lack of conservation of individual piRNAs and siRNAs many of the features of each pathway, including genomic distribution, are conserved. We show that in each species, 26G siRNAs trigger stage-specific secondary siRNA formation. We also observe that piRNAs trigger siRNA formation from targets containing up to three mismatches in each species. Finally, we show that nematodes produce two distinct sex-specific classes of piRNAs, suggesting different roles for piRNAs in male and female germlines. Sequencing small RNAs from four Caenorhabditis species: C. elegans, C. briggsae, C. remanei and C. brenneri

Uncovering small non-coding RNAs involved in carcinogenesis of Glioma

Project description:To determine which signalling pathways are affected by small RNAs (piRNAs, miRNAs) through target regulation in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), we performed high-throughput next-generation sequencing in U87-MG GBM cell line. The RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of small RNAs and transcriptomes discovered both known and novel piRNAs and miRNAs as well other transcriptomes of protein-coding genes, lncRNAs and pseudogenes expressed in this GBM cell line. These small RNAs and target transcriptomes can be further investigated to decode novel molecular mechanisms underlying oncogenesis of this malignancy.

Genome-wide profiling of small RNAs in human Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines

Project description:To elucidate the potential role of small ncRNAs, such as piRNAs and miRNAs in oncogenesis of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we performed genome wide profiling in three human OSCC cell lines, H357 (tongue squamous cell carcinoma), KB (mouth cancer), Hep-2 (laryngeal cancer), and HOK (Normal human oral keratinocyte) using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of small RNAs. We discovered 4854 piRNAs in H357, 5184 in KB, 8340 in Hep-2, and 4735 in HOK, while miRNAs in H357, KB, Hep-2, and HOK were 1538, 1533, 1257, and 1468, respectively. This is the first study to identify both piRNAs and miRNAs in OSCCs, which will serve as a future resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex neoplastic events mediated by these small RNAs. Furthermore, these piRNAs and miRNAs have the potential to be used as biomarkers for OSCC.

bmp4 RNAi gene expression profiling

Project description:Regeneration is a widespread phenomenon that often requires formation of a new tissue outgrowth at wounds called a blastema. Identifying the key signals that trigger blastema formation is therefore fundamental for understanding the mechanistic basis of regeneration. We uncovered a role for the wound epidermis in regeneration initiation in planarians. The gene equinox is expressed within hours of injury in the planarian wound epidermis and encodes a secreted protein conserved in many phyla. Following equinox inhibition, animals failed to form blastemas, reset positional information, and upregulate stem cell (neoblast) proliferation at wounds. Associated with these defects was an inability to maintain wound-induced gene expression. We propose that activation of equinox in the wound epidermis initiates planarian regeneration.
