Identification of the toxic 6mer seed consensus for human cancer cells

Project description:6mer seed toxicity is a novel cell death mechanism that kills cancer cells by triggering death induced by survival gene elimination (DISE). It is based on si- or shRNAs with a specific G-rich nucleotide composition in position 2-7 of their guide strand. An arrayed screen of 4096 6mer seeds on two human and two mouse cell lines identified a consensus GGGGGC as the most toxic seed. We have now tested two additional cell lines, one human and one mouse, confirming the GGGGGC consensus as the most toxic average 6mer seed for human cells while slightly less significant for mouse cells. RNA Seq and bioinformatics analyses suggested that an siRNA containing the GGGGGC seed (siGGGGGC) is toxic to cancer cells by targeting GCCCCC seed matches in the 3' UTR of a set of genes critical for cell survival. We have identified several genes targeted by this seed and demonstrate direct and specific targeting of GCCCCC seed matches, which is attenuated upon mutation of the GCCCCC seed matches in these 3' UTRs. Our data show that siGGGGGC kills cancer cells through its miRNA-like activity and points at artificial miRNAs, si- or shRNAs containing this seed as a potential new cancer therapeutics

Induction of DISE by tumor suppressive microRNAs

Project description:Many siRNAs and shRNAs induce a form of cell death in all cancer cells by silencing a set of critical survival genes in a process called death induced by survival gene elimination (DISE). Mechanistically, a 6mer seed sequence (position 2-7 of the guide strand) is sufficient to confer DISE-inducing activity. We have now performed a strand-specific screen testing the toxicity of all 4096 possible 6mer seed sequences in a neutral double-stranded siRNA backbone. We found an asymmetric preference for guanine in positions 1-3 and a G content of >80% of the 6mer seed in the most toxic siRNAs, which target survival genes that are GC rich in their 3'UTR. During over 800 million years of evolution, miRNAs have evolved to avoid guanine in their seed sequences. However, two tumor suppressive miRNAs were found to be killing cancer cells through DISE using G rich toxic 6mer seeds in cells exposed to genotoxic stress: 1) the p53 inducible miR-34 family; and 2) miR-320a, a noncanonical miRNA that is still expressed in cancer cells when miRNA processing genes are mutated. Our data suggest that most miRNAs have evolved to avoid induction of DISE but certain tumor suppressive miRNAs utilize this mechanism to kill cancer cells.
