Very long intergenic non-coding (vlinc) RNAs directly regulate multiple genes in cis and trans

ABSTRACT: Majority of the human genome is transcribed in a form of long non-coding (lnc) RNAs. While these transcripts attracted considerable interest, their molecular mechanisms of function and biological significance remain controversial. Here, we present a genome-wide functional annotation strategy for lncRNAs based on integration of three distinct types of approaches: co-expression analysis, mapping of lncRNA-chromatin interactions and assaying molecular effects of lncRNA knockdowns obtained using an inducible and highly specific CRISPR/Cas13 system. We apply the strategy to annotate 407 vlincRNAs belonging to a novel widespread subclass of lncRNAs. We show that vlincRNAs appear to regulate, positively and negatively and both in trans and cis, multiple genes encoding proteins predominantly involved in RNA- and development-related functions, cell cycle and cellular adhesion via a potential mechanism involving proximity in nucleus. Finally, we show vlincRNAs and their regulatory networks potentially represent novel components of DNA damage response.

Transcriptome-scale RNA-targeting CRISPR screens reveal essential lncRNAs in human cells

Project description:Mammalian genomes host a diverse array of RNA that includes protein-coding and noncoding transcripts. However, the functional roles of most long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) remain elusive. Using massively parallel RNA-targeting CRISPR Cas13 screens, we probed how loss of ~6,200 lncRNAs impacts cell fitness across five human cell lines and identified 778 lncRNAs with either context-specific or broad essentiality. We observe a high level of consistency between distinct guide RNAs targeting the same lncRNA in the pooled screens and confirm their essentiality with individual perturbations. We find that the overwhelming majority of essential lncRNAs operate independently of their nearest protein-coding genes. Using transcriptome profiling in single cells, we discover that essential lncRNAs modulate key cellular pathways for proliferation and that their loss can impair cell cycle progression and drive apoptosis. Many essential lncRNAs demonstrate dynamic expression across tissues during development and, using ~9,000 primary tumors, we pinpoint those lncRNAs whose expression in tumors correlates with survival, yielding new biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. This transcriptome-wide survey of functional lncRNAs advances our understanding of noncoding transcripts and demonstrates the potential of transcriptome-scale noncoding screens with Cas13.

Human Pancreatic Beta Cell lncRNAs Control Cell-Specific Regulatory Networks

Project description:Recent studies have uncovered thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in human pancreatic β cells. β cell lncRNAs are often cell type specific and exhibit dynamic regulation during differentiation or upon changing glucose concentrations. Although these features hint at a role of lncRNAs in β cell gene regulation and diabetes, the function of β cell lncRNAs remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the function of β cell-specific lncRNAs and transcription factors using transcript knockdowns and co-expression network analysis. This revealed lncRNAs that function in concert with transcription factors to regulate β cell-specific transcriptional networks. We further demonstrate that the lncRNA PLUTO affects local 3D chromatin structure and transcription of PDX1, encoding a key β cell transcription factor, and that both PLUTO and PDX1 are downregulated in islets from donors with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. These results implicate lncRNAs in the regulation of β cell-specific transcription factor networks.

The long noncoding RNA neuroLNC modulates neurotransmitter release interacting with a neurodegeneration-associated protein

Project description:The roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in synaptic transmission and neuronal development are emerging. Here we applied an integrated bioinformatic/biological screening strategy to identify lncRNAs that regulate synaptic vesicle release. We identified neuroLNC, a conserved neuron-specific nuclear lncRNA that modulates synaptic vesicle release, presynaptic calcium influx, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. In neurons neuroLNC interacts with a neurodegeneration-associated protein and tunes a set of presynaptic transcripts implicated in neurotransmitter release.

Functional and molecular dissection of viral lncRNAs throughout HCMV life cycle

Project description:Small, compact genomes confer a selective advantage to viruses, yet human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) expresses the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) RNA1.2, RNA2.7, RNA4.9, and RNA5.0. These lncRNAs account for majority of the viral transcriptome, but their functions remain largely unknown. Here, we showed that HCMV lncRNAs, except for RNA5.0, are required throughout the entire viral life cycle. Deletion of each lncRNA resulted in a decrease in viral progeny during lytic replication and failing to efficiently establish latent reservoirs and reactivate. Nanopore direct RNA sequencing of native lncRNA molecules revealed that each lncRNA exhibited a dynamic modification landscape, depending on the state of infection. Global analysis of the lncRNA interactome identified 32, 11, and 89 host factors that specifically bind to RNA1.2, RNA2.7, and RNA4.9, respectively. Moreover, 52 proteins commonly bound to the three lncRNAs were identified, including 11 antiviral immunity-related proteins. Our molecular analyses found that three lncRNAs are modified with N⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) and interact with m6A readers in all infection states. In-depth functional analysis revealed that m6A–mediated lncRNA stabilization as the key mechanism by which lncRNAs are maintained at high levels. Our study lays the groundwork for understanding viral lncRNA–mediated regulation of host-virus interaction throughout the HCMV life cycle.

Computational prediction and experimental validation identify functionally conserved lncRNAs from zebrafish to human

Project description:Functional studies of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have long been hindered by a lack of methods to assess their evolution. Here, we present lncHOME (lncRNA Homology Explorer), a computational pipeline that identifies a unique coPARSE-lncRNA class with conserved genomic locations and patterns of RNA binding protein (RBP) binding sites. Remarkably, several hundred human coPARSE-lncRNAs can be evolutionarily traced to zebrafish. Using CRISPR-Cas12a knockout and rescue assays, we found that knocking out many human coPARSE-lncRNAs led to cell proliferation defects that were rescued by predicted zebrafish homologs. Knocking down the coPARSE-lncRNAs in zebrafish embryos caused severe developmental delays that were rescued by human homologs. Moreover, we verified that human, mouse, and zebrafish coPARSE-lncRNA homologs tend to bind similar RBPs with their conserved fuctions relying on specific RBP binding sites. Overall, our study demonstrates a comprehensive approach for studying functional conservation of lncRNAs and implicates numerous lncRNAs in regulating cellular physiology.

Aberrant lncRNA expression profiles in OSCC tissues compared with paired normal oral mucosa

Project description:Hypoxic microenvironment plays important roles in the progression of solid tumors including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gained much attention in the past few years. However, it is not clear whether lncRNAs could regulate hypoxia-adaptation of OSCC, and which lncRNAs participate in this process. Using an lncRNA microarray, we analyzed the aberrant lncRNA expression profiles in OSCC tissues compared with paired normal oral mucosa as well as in hypoxic OSCC cells compared with normoxic OSCC cells. Our data revealed 2053 differentially expressed (Fold Change >= 2.0, P-value <= 0.05) lncRNAs, among which 934 lncRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 1119 lncRNAs were down-regulated in OSCC compared with paired normal mucosa. Six OSCC tissues and paired normal oral mucosa were obtained from 6 patients with OSCC. LncRNA expression profiles were evaluated by an Agilent Human LncRNA Array v3.0 (8 x 60K, Arraystar).

Global identification of growth-related long non-coding RNAs in breast muscle of chicken

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can have potential roles in development of tissues and organs. We selected breast muscle of fast-growing White Recessive Rock chicken (WRR) and slow-growing Xing Hua chicken (XH) to identify lncRNA transcripts by LncRNA-Seq. This study identified 21,993 novel lncRNAs. Among 7,339 differentially expressed lncRNAs, 723 up-regulated and 6,616 down-regulated lncRNAs were found in WRR compared with XH. Of them, five novel lncRNA were antisense transcripts for growth-related genes CACNA1D (unigene 14689_all), IL4I1 (unigene 15355_all), LEF-1 (unigene 19525_all) and FABP1 (unigenes 17536_all and 17537_all) respectively. Meanwhile, 12 other novel lncRNAs were found in the intron or downstream of some known growth-related genes (IGF1, IGF2BP2, IGF2BP3, CACNA1D, IL4I1, LEF-1 and FABP1). In addition, 4,043 SSRs and 200,049 SNPs were identified. Our data revealed the global lncRNA expression pattern in muscle tissue, and contributed a useful genomic resource towards studying the effects of lncRNAs in regulating chicken growth. Two RNA pool for WRR and XH strains

lncRNAs expression signatures of gastric cancer

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are an important class if pervasive genes involved in a variety of biological functions. LncRNAs have been recently implicated as having oncogenic and tumor suppressor roles. To further investigate the function of lncRNA in gastric cancer, we use lncRNA microarray to describe LncRNAs profiles in 6 pairs of human gastric adenocarcinoma and the corresponding adjacent nontumorous tissues. The experimental samples are divided into two groups(normal and tumor) to compare lncRNA expression profiling of those

Comprehensive Identification of Soybean Long Non-coding RNAs Reveals a Subset of Small Peptide-Coding Transcripts

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as non-protein-coding transcripts that are at least 200 nucleotides long. They are known to play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression, especially during stress responses in plants. We used a large collection of in-house transcriptome data from various soybean (Glycine max and Glycine soja) tissues treated under different conditions to perform a comprehensive identification of soybean lncRNAs. We also retrieved publicly available soybean transcriptome data that were of sufficient quality and sequencing depth to enrich our analysis. In total, RNA-seq data of 332 samples were used for this analysis. An integrated reference-based, de novo transcript assembly was developed that identified ~69,000 lncRNA gene loci. We showed that lncRNAs are distinct from both protein-coding transcripts and genomic background noise in terms of length, number of exons, transposable element composition, and sequence conservation level across legume species. The tissue-specific and time-specific transcriptional responses of the lncRNA genes under some stress conditions may suggest their biological relevance. The transcription start sites of lncRNA gene loci tend to be close to their nearest protein-coding genes, and they may be transcriptionally related to the protein-coding genes, particularly for antisense and intronic lncRNAs. A previously unreported subset of small peptide-coding transcripts was identified from these lncRNA loci via tandem mass spectrometry, which paved the way for investigating their functional roles. Our results also highlight the current inadequacy of the bioinformatic definition of lncRNA, which excludes those lncRNA gene loci with small open reading frames (ORFs) from being regarded as protein-coding.

Dicer-microRNA-Myc circuit promotes transcription of hundreds of long noncoding RNAs

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of cell fate, and their mis-expression has been implicated in many diseases. While distinct polymerases generate messenger vs. noncoding ribosomal or tRNAs3, little is known about distinct mechanisms controlling lncRNA expression. Here we show that transcription of lncRNAs is quantitatively different from that of messenger RNAs (mRNAs)--as revealed by deficiency of Dicer (Dcr), a key ribonuclease that generates microRNAs (miRNAs). Loss of Dcr in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) led surprisingly to decreased level of the majority of lncRNAs. The canonical Dgcr8-Dcr-miRNA pathway is required for robust lncRNA expression, at the level of transcriptional initiation and elongation of lncRNA genes rather than at the level of their stability. cMyc, an oncogenic transcription factor, whose expression is indirectly regulated by Dcr-miRNA in mESCs, is partly responsible for lncRNA transcription. Loss of cMyc led to a more dramatic decrease of lncRNAs than mRNAs, and cMyc overexpression rescues lncRNA expression in Dcr KO cells. A quantitative metric of “mRNA-lncRNA decoupling” revealed that Dcr and cMyc differentially regulate lncRNAs vs. mRNAs in diverse cell types and in vivo, as evidenced by hundreds of microarray experiments. Thus, Dcr and cMyc may allow numerous lncRNAs to be activated or deactivated as a class, implicating lncRNAs to potential regulatory roles in development and disease states where Dcr and cMyc have been associated with. RNA was sequenced from WT and Dcr KO mESCs and the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs are compared between WT and Dcr KO mESCs.
