ZFP36L2-mRNA Interaction: Drawing general rules based on transcriptomic analysis

ABSTRACT: In this study we focus on identifying potential physiological targets of ZFP36L2 (Zinc finger protein like 2 or L2), one of the three primate members of the ZFP36 protein family. Most studies on ARE specificity of this small family were conducted using the prototypical family member, ZFP36 or TTP; however, less is known about the other family member’s specificity. Previous studies of ZFP36L2 target mRNAs identified a high proportion of transcription factors in two different systems, cells from the erythrocyte lineage and oocytes. However, there is minimal overlap between the genes identified in these studies and those identified here using mouse spleens lacking ZFP36L2 (L2-cKO). This observation suggests that ZFP36L2 targeting is occurring in a highly tissue specific manner. Aiming to understand what factors govern this potential tissue specificity, we characterized the differentially expressed genes in our L2-cKO mouse model in the spleen, an organ that expresses L2 at high levels in humans and mice. We performed transcriptome-wide analysis in RNA spleen samples from mice lacking ZFP36L2 (L2-cKO) and normally expressing (WT). Differential gene expression (DEG) of WT vs. L2-cKO spleens revealed 549 up regulated and 603 down regulated genes. Nine genes were validated in qPCR assays.

Differential Gene Expression and mRNA decay in Wild-Type and Myeloid-specific TTP Knock-out macrophages using RNA-Seq

Project description:Members of the tristetraprolin (TTP) family of RNA-binding proteins can bind to and promote the decay of specific transcripts containing AU-rich motifs. ZFP36 (TTP) is best known for regulating cytokine expression in myeloid cells; however, the mammalian paralogues ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 have not been viewed as important in controlling inflammation. To study potential functional overlaps of these three TTP family proteins in myeloid cells, we developed myeloid-specific knock-out (M-KO) mice of these genes, singly and together. M-Zfp36-KO mice exhibited a mild inflammatory syndrome late in life, while M-Zfp36l1-KO and M-Zfp36l2-KO mice had no apparent spontaneous phenotypes. Mice with simultaneous deficiency of all three TTP family members in myeloid cells developed a severe, spontaneous, inflammatory phenotype, with a median survival of 8 weeks. Macrophages derived from these mice contained many more stabilized transcripts than cells from M-Zfp36-KO mice, many encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our findings emphasize the importance of all three family members, acting in concert, in myeloid cell function.

RNA-binding Protein ZFP36L2 Downregulates Helios Expression and Suppresses the Function of Regulatory T Cells

Project description:The zinc finger protein 36-like 2, ZFP36L2, is a member of a small family of RNA-binding proteins composed by ZFP36 (also known as tristetraprolin, TTP), ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 in humans, with corresponding murine orthologs. These proteins bind to adenine uridine-rich element (ARE) in the 3’untranslated region of target messenger RNA and stimulate target degradation. ZFP36 functions as an anti-inflammatory modulator in murine models of inflammatory diseases by down-regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha. However, how ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 alter the function of CD4+ T cells is not completely understood. We addressed this issue by searching for the target genes of ZFP36L2 by comprehensive transcriptome analysis. We observed that ZFP36L2 is highly expressed in naïve CD4+ T cells; however, when CD4+ T cells are stimulated with T cell receptors, ZFP36L2 expression is rapidly reduced in both humans and mice. Among CD4+ T cell populations, the expression levels of ZFP36L2 in regulatory T cells (Tregs) were lower than those in naïve or effector CD4+ T cells. RNA-sequence analysis revealed that the forced expression of ZFP36L2 decreased Ikzf2 (encoding Helios) expression in Foxp3+ Tregs and inhibited the ability of induced Tregs (iTregs). ZFP36L2 destabilized the 3’untranslated region of Ikzf2 mRNA, which contains AU-rich elements. These results indicate that ZFP36L2 reduces the expression of Ikzf2 and suppresses iTreg function, suggesting that the inhibition of ZFP36L2 in iTregs could be a therapeutic strategy for autoimmune diseases.

Global Target mRNA Specification and Regulation by RNA-Binding Protein ZFP36/Tristetraprolin/TTP [PAR-CLIP]

Project description:Tristetraprolin/ZFP36/TTP and ELAVL1/HuR are two disease-relevant RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that both interact with AU-rich sequences but have antagonistic roles. While ELAVL1 binding has been profiled in several studies, the precise in vivo binding specificity of ZFP36 has not been investigated on a global scale. We determined ZFP36 binding preferences using cross-linking and immunoprecipitation in human embyonic kidney cells and examined combinatorial regulation of AU-rich elements by ZFP36 and ELAVL1. Among the targets ZFP36 binds and negatively regulates the mRNA of genes encoding proteins necessary for immune function and cancer, and other RBPs. Using partial correlation analysis, we were able to quantify the association between ZFP36 binding sites and differential target RNA abundance from ZFP36 overexpression independent of effects from confounding features, such as 3M-bM-^@M-^Y UTR length. We identified thousands of overlapping ZFP36 and ELAVL1 binding sites, in 1,313 genes. ZFP36 preferentially interacts with and regulates AU-rich sequences while ELAVL1 prefers predominantly U- and CU-rich sequences. RNA target specificity identified by global in vivo ZFP36-mRNA interactions were quantitatively similar to previously reported in vitro binding affinities. ZFP36 and ELAVL1 both bind an overlapping spectrum of RNA sequences, yet with differential relative preferences that dictate combinatorial regulatory potential. Our findings and methodology delineate an approach to untangle the in vivo combinatorial regulation by RNA-binding proteins. FLAG-HA ZFP36

mRNA expression in Zfp36L2 knockout E14.5 fetal liver

Project description:ZFP36L2, zinc finger protein 36, C3H type-like 2 (also known as Brf2, Erf2, Tis11D) is a member of the tristetraprolin (TTP; Zfp36) family of tandem CCCH zinc finger proteins that can bind to AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-untranslated region of mRNAs, leading to their deadenylation and subsequent degradation. We have generated Zfp36l2 knockout mice. Knockout mice were born at the expected Mendelian frequency, but within several weeks of birth they died rather suddenly with pallor and frequent intestinal hemorrhage. These mice exhibited pancytopenia, decreased hematopoietic progenitor cells from fetal liver and yolk sac, and ineffective hematopoietic stem cells. Since ZFP26L2 is likely to function as an ARE-containing mRNA destabilizing protein, we were interested in identifying any abnormally stabilized transcripts in fetal livers from the Zfp36l2 knockout mice whose protein product may directly or indirectly affect hematopoietic stem cell function.

An essential role for ZFP36 RNA-binding proteins in regulatory T cells reinforces immune homeostasis [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:T regulatory (Treg) cells play an essential role in suppressing the response of immune effector cells. The zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) family of RNA binding proteins (RBP) have been demonstrated to have crucial roles in development, stress responses and inflammation. Treg-restricted deletion of ZFP36L1 leads to a loss of immune homeostasis with an expansion of effector cell subsets and over-production of inflammatory cytokines, with the phenotype exacerbated with the combined deletion of ZFP36L2. Single cell RNA seq analyses revealed a Treg transcriptional profile that was biased towards an activated phenotype. We report that ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 play a key role in regulating Treg sensitivity to cytokine signalling. By limiting the IFNg signalling pathway these RBP influence Th-type cell transcriptional programs and promote Treg responsiveness to IL-2 and IL-7. Together our results reveal cell intrinsic effects of these RBP important for Treg function.
