Characterisation of the temporal hepatic transcriptome at subcellular level
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In eukaryotes, RNA is synthesized in the nucleus, spliced, and exported to the cytoplasm where it is translated and finally degraded. Any of these steps could be subject to temporal regulation during the circadian cycle, generating daily fluctuations of RNA accumulation and impacting the distribution of transcripts in different subcellular compartments. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of nuclear and cytoplasmic, polyA and total, transcriptomes of mouse livers sampled along the daily cycle. These data provide a genome-wide temporal inventory of RNA subcellular enrichments, and revealed specific signatures of splicing, nuclear export and cytoplasmic mRNA stability related to transcript and gene lengths. Combined with a mathematical model describing rhythmic RNA profiles , we could test the rhyhtmicity of export rates and cytoplasmic degradation rates of ~1400 genes. While nuclear export times are usually much shorter than cytoplasmic half-lives, we found that that nuclear export contributes to the modulation and generation of rhythmic profiles of ~10% of the cycling nuclear mRNAs. This study provides an estimation of the nuclear and cytoplasmic life times in the liver and contributes to a better understanding of the dynamic regulation of the transcriptome during the feeding-fasting cycle.
