Project description:Here, we show that PURA predominantly resides in the cytoplasm, where it binds to a large set of transcripts. Many of these transcripts change abundance in response to PURA depletion, in parts reflected in altered protein expression levels. A closer inspection of the regulated proteins indicates a role of PURA in immune responses, mitochondrial function, autophagy and processing (P)-body activity.

Project description:The RNA-binding protein PURA has been implicated in the rare, monogenetic, neurodevelopmental disorder PURA Syndrome. PURA binds both DNA and RNA and has been associated with various cellular functions. Only little is known about its main cellular functions and the molecular pathways affected upon PURA depletion. Here, we show that PURA is predominantly located in the cytoplasm, where it binds to thousands of mRNAs. Many of these transcripts change abundance in response to PURA depletion. The encoded proteins suggest a role for PURA in immune responses, mitochondrial function, autophagy and processing (P)-body activity. Intriguingly, reduced PURA levels decrease the expression of the integral P-body components LSM14A and DDX6, and strongly affect P-body formation in human cells. Furthermore, PURA knockdown results in stabilization of P-body-enriched transcripts, whereas other mRNAs decrease. Hence, reduced PURA levels, as reported in patients with PURA Syndrome, influence the formation and composition of this phase-separated RNA processing machinery. Our study on PURA provides a blueprint for the comprehensive understanding of the tight connection between P-body-associated RNA regulation and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Project description:Following androgen ablation treatment for advanced prostate cancer, almost all men relapse after a period of initial response to therapy, which eventually is life threatening. We have previously found that purine-rich element binding protein, PUR alpha, was significantly repressed in androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines in comparison to an androgen-dependent line. Moreover, over-expressing PURa in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells attenuated their cell proliferation. The aim of the studies described here was to uncover some of the mechanisms by which over-expression of PURa attenuates cell proliferation. A set of common genes induced by over-expressing PURa both in PC3 and LNCaP cells was analyzed by DNA microarray. The results were then validated utilizing quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Using a 5.3-kb region of the PSA promoter containing androgen response elements, the participation of PURa in androgen regulated gene expression was determined. Genes involved in stress response and cell differentiation were induced in cells over-expressing PURa. Some of the genes that are targets of androgen regulation are also induced. Most strikingly, ectopic expression of PURa induced transcriptional activity of the 5.3-kb PSA promoter containing androgen response elements, without androgen stimulation. Based upon the consideration that some of the genes involved in cell stress and differentiation are also regulated by androgens our data suggest that PURa shares some common pathway regulated by the androgen receptor. These findings suggest that regulation of PURa expression in prostate cancer cells may serve as a therapeutic target for hormone refractory prostate cancer. Experiment Overall Design: PC3 cells (low in PURa expression) was stably over-expressed PURa. Total RNA of the cells was collected simultaneously with that of PC3 transfected with mock vector. Experiment Overall Design: LNCaP cells (Express PURa more than PC3 cells) was PURa-over-expressed with retrovirus vector (MSCV-PIG) and selected with puromycin for 72hr. Total RNA of the cells was collected simultaneously with that of LNCaP cells infected with mock vector. Experiment Overall Design: One set of RNA derived from PC3 cells and two independent RNA derived from LNCaP cells retrovirus infection were used for DNA microarray. Quality and concentration of total RNA was verified using Agilent Bioanalyzer and Nanodrop Spectrophotometer, respectively. T7 oligo(dT) primer (Sigma-Proligo, Boulder, CO) and 5ug total RNA are combined for first strand cDNA synthesis. Following second strand cDNA synthesis and cDNA cleanup (Phase Lock Gel Light, Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany) an in vitro transcription reaction was performed overnight using T7 RNA transcript labeling kit provided by Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (Farmingdale, NY). IVT reactions were cleaned using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) and concentration determined by Nanodrop Spectrophotometer. 15ug cRNA was fragmented using 5X fragmentation buffer (made in-house). Hybridization cocktail was made in accordance with Affymetrix eukaryotic expression array protocol (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) and combined with fragmented cRNA. 10ug cRNA was loaded onto Human U133Plus 2.0 genome arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) and hybridized overnight for 16 hours. After hybridization, staining and washing of the arrays was performed following the Affymetrix eukaryotic expression array protocol, including staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin, antibody stain, and a second streptavidin-phycoerythrin stain. After washing and staining, all arrays were scanned with the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner and data collected with GeneChip Operating System 1.4 (GCOS, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Experiment Overall Design: The quality of the microarray experiments was assessed with affyPLM and Affy, two Bioconductor packages for statistical analysis of microarray data. To estimate the gene expression signals, data analysis was conducted on the chipsâ CEL file probe signal values at the Affymetrix probe pair (perfect match (PM) probe and mismatch (MM) probe) level, using the statistical algorithm Robust Multiarray Analysis (RMA) expression measure (Irizarry RA et al. 2003) with Affy. This probe level data processing includes a normalization procedure utilizing the quantile normalization method (Bolstad BM et al. 2003) to reduce the obscuring variation between microarrays, which might be introduced during the processes of sample preparation, manufacture, fluorescence labeling, hybridization and/or scanning. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) was performed with the preprocessed data above. Between-treatment and between-replicate variations were examined with the pair-wise MvA plots, in which the base 2 log ratios (M) between two samples are plotted against their averaged base 2 log signals (A). With the signal estimates, Principal Component analysis (PCA) was also performed to assess sample variability. Experiment Overall Design: With the signal intensities obtained above, an empirical Bayes method with the Gamma-Gamma modeling, as implemented in the bioconductor package EBarrays, was used to estimate the posterior probabilities of the differential expression of genes between PURA and Vector only sample conditions (Newton MA et al. 2001, Kendziorski Cm et al. 2003, Newton MA et al. 2004). The criterion of the posterior probability > 0.5, which means the posterior odds favoring change, was used to produce the differentially expressed gene list. Experiment Overall Design: All Bioconductor packages are available at http://www.bioconductor.org and all computation was performed under R environment (http://www.r-project.org).

Project description:SAFB1 is a RNA binding protein implicated in the regulation of multiple cellular processes such as the regulation of transcription, stress response, DNA repair and RNA processing. To gain further insight into SAFB1 function we used iCLIP and mapped its interaction with RNA on a genome wide level.iCLIP analysis found SAFB1 binding was enriched, specifically in exons, ncRNAs, 3' and 5' untranslated regions. SAFB1 was found to recognise a purine-rich GAAGA motif with the highest frequency and it is therefore likely to bind core AGA, GAA, or AAG motifs. Confirmatory RT-PCR experiments showed that the expression of coding and non-coding genes with SAFB1 cross-link sites was altered by SAFB1 knockdown. For example, we found that the isoform-specific expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM1) and ASTN2 was influenced by SAFB1 and that the processing of miR-19a from the miR-17-92 cluster was regulated by SAFB1. These data suggest SAFB1 may influence alternative splicing and, using an NCAM1 minigene, we showed that SAFB1 knockdown altered the expression of two of the three NCAM1 alternative spliced isoforms. However, when the AGA, GAA, and AAG motifs were mutated, SAFB1 knockdown no longer mediated a decrease in the NCAM1 9-10 alternative spliced form. To further investigate the association of SAFB1 with splicing we used exon array analysis and found SAFB1 knockdown mediated the statistically significant up- and downregulation of alternative exons. Further analysis using RNAmotifs to investigate the frequency of association between the motif pairs (AGA followed by AGA, GAA or AAG) and alternative spliced exons found there was a highly significant correlation with downregulated exons. Together, our data suggest SAFB1 will play an important physiological role in the central nervous system regulating synaptic function. We found that SAFB1 regulates dendritic spine density in hippocampal neurons and hence provide empirical evidence supporting this conclusion.iCLIP showed that SAFB1 has previously uncharacterised specific RNA binding properties that help coordinate the isoform-specific expression of coding and non-coding genes. These genes regulate splicing, axonal and synaptic function, and are associated with neuropsychiatric disease, suggesting that SAFB1 is an important regulator of key neuronal processes.

Project description:Human neurodevelopment requires differentiating neurons to establish large networks of connections in a highly stereotyped manner. Neuronal differentiation in particular requires RNA-binding proteins to spatiotemporally regulate thousands of different mRNAs. Yet how these proteins precisely relate to neuronal development and coordinate the expression of functionally coherent genes in a cell type specific manner is only partially understood. To address this, we sought to clarify how the paradigmatic RNA-binding protein IMP1/IGF2BP1, an essential developmental factor, selects and regulates its RNA targets transcriptome-wide during the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived neural precursor cells to their neuronal counterparts. We used a combination of systemic and molecular analyses to show that IMP1 directly binds to and regulates the expression of a large sets of mRNAs.

Project description:Human genetic studies have identified the neuronal RNA binding protein, Rbfox1, as a candidate gene for autism spectrum disorders. While Rbfox1 functions as a splicing regulator in the nucleus, it is also alternatively spliced to produce cytoplasmic isoforms. To investigate cytoplasmic Rbfox1, we knocked down Rbfox proteins in mouse neurons and rescued with cytoplasmic or nuclear Rbfox1. Transcriptome profiling showed that nuclear Rbfox1 rescued splicing changes induced by knockdown, whereas cytoplasmic Rbfox1 rescued changes in mRNA levels. iCLIP-seq of subcellular fractions revealed that in nascent RNA Rbfox1 bound predominantly to introns, while cytoplasmic Rbox1 bound to 3' UTRs. Cytoplasmic Rbfox1 binding increased target mRNA stability and translation, and overlapped significantly with miRNA binding sites. Cytoplasmic Rbfox1 target mRNAs were enriched in genes involved in cortical development and autism. Our results uncover a new Rbfox1 regulatory network and highlight the importance of cytoplasmic RNA metabolism to cortical development and disease. In this data set, we included the data from iCLIP-seq experiments. We performed iCLIP procedures to identify Rbfox1 binding in the cytoplasm. Cultured mouse forebrain neurons were irradiated with UV and a cytoplasmic fraction was purified for immunoprecipitation. An anti-Rbfox1 antibody was used to immunoprecipitate Rbfox1 target RNAs and an anti-Flag antibody was used as control. Two samples were analyzed.
