Project description:The major information-carrying macromolecules in the cell, DNA, RNA, and protein, carry an additional layer of information on top of their sequence in the form of modifications of residues. The modifications provide additional functional groups and impact the structure and function of the molecules. Cellular RNA molecules contain more than 100 different modifications and are found in all domains of life and in all major classes of RNA in eukaryotic organisms. Together these modifications constitute the epitranscriptome of which two-thirds are methylations with 2’-O methylation of the ribose moiety of the nucleotide as the most abundant. Many aspects of ribose methylation are underexplored because the existing methods for their detection are laborious and can only address a few modification sites at a time. Here, we introduce RiboMeth-Seq, a high-throughput sequencing based method and applies it to yeast ribosomal RNA. We detect all of the known as well as one new methylation site and provide evidence for hypomethylation at specific residues. Furthermore we demonstrate that many methylation events are interdependent and outline the timing of modifications during ribosome biogenesis. Our results demonstrate a novel and efficient approach to understanding of the role of modifications in ribosomal RNA folding and ribosome function. Recent evidence point to changes in ribose methylation patterns in cancer ribosomes and we anticipate that RiboMeth-Seq can be applied here as well as to other diseases in which ribosomes are affected, including the heritable ribosomopathies. Yeast RNA was degraded at denaturing conditions into small fragments, long enough to be mapped by sequence alignment to the reference genome (20-40 nucleotides). The fragments were ligated to RNA oligos using a tRNA ligase that was mutated to remove its kinase activity, reverse transcribed and the cDNA used as input for Ion semiconductor sequencing. The first and last nucleotides of the inserts were recorded using the full sequence for mapping and the read-ends plotted against the sequence. 2'-O-Methylated RNA positions are protected from cleavage, and read ends from such positions are therefore underrepresented compared to the surrounding positions.

Project description:Purpose: Quiescence is a state or reversible cell cycle arrest. A previous study using microarrays (Coller et al., PMID: 16509772) revealed gene expression changes between quiescent and proliferating human dermal fibroblasts and defined a "quiescece program" of genes that change in abundance when fibroblasts were introduced into quiescence by one of three methods. The goal of this study is to perform high throughut RNA sequencing to determine global changes in gene expression between proliferating and quiescent human dermal fibroblasts. Methods: Three different biological replicates (corresponding to two fibroblast strains, 10-5 and 12-1) were collected in proliferating and contact--inhibited (quiescent) conditions. RNA extracted from these cells were used for library preparation. The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 instrument. Results: Among the 19,673 genes monitored, 1,993 genes (10.1%) changed in expression two-fold or more, demonstrating widespread changes in gene expression with contact inhibition-induced quiescence. Fifty-two percent of these genes were upregulated in 7dCI compared with proliferating fibroblasts, and 48% were downregulated in 7dCI fibroblasts. Conclusions: There are widespread changes in gene expression as fibroblasts transition between proliferating and quiescent states.

Project description:A sequencing-based profiling method (RiboMeth-seq) for ribose methylations was used to study methylation patterns in mouse adult tissues and during development. In contrast to previous reports based on studies of human cancer cell lines, almost all methylation sites were close to fully methylated in adult tissues. A subset of sites was differentially modified in developing tissues compared to their adult counterparts and showed clear developmental dynamics. This provides the first evidence for ribosome heterogeneity at the level of rRNA modifications during mouse development. In a prominent example, the expression levels of SNORD78 during development appeared to be regulated by alternative splicing of the Gas5 host-gene and to correlate with the methylation level of its target site at LSU-G4593. The results are discussed in the context of the specialized ribosome hypothesis.

Project description:Cancer cells are addicted to ribosome biogenesis and high levels of translation. Thus, differential inhibition of cancer cells can be achieved by targeting aspects of ribosome biogenesis or ribosome function. Using RiboMeth-seq for profiling of the ~112 2’-O-Me sites in human ribosomal RNA, we demonstrated pronounced hypomethylation at several sites in patient-derived DLBCL cell lines with a more severe perturbation in ABC-DLBCL compared to GBC-DLBCL. We extended our analysis to tumor samples from patients and demonstrated significant changes to the ribosomal modification pattern that appeared to consist of cell growth-related as well as tumor-specific changes. Sites of hypomethylation in patient samples are discussed as potential drug targets, using as an example a site in the small subunit (SSU-C1440) located in a ribosomal substructure that can be linked to DLBCL pathogenesis.

Project description:Sequencing-based profiling of ribose methylations is a new approach that allows for experiments adrressing dynamic changes on a large scale. Here, we apply such a method to spliceosomal snRNAs present in human whole cell RNA. Analysis of solid tissue samples confirmed all previously known sites and demonstrated close to full methylation at almost all sites. Methylation changes were revealed in biological experimental settings, using T cell activation as an example, and in the T cell leukemia model, Jurkat cells. Such changes could impact the dynamics of snRNA interactions during the spliceosome cycle and affect mRNA splicing efficiency and splicing patterns.
