Project description:Spliceosomal snRNA are key components of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs), the building blocks of the spliceosome. The biogenesis of snRNPs is a complex process involving multiple cellular and subcellular compartments, the details of which are yet to be described. In short, the snRNA is exported to the cytoplasm as 3‘-end extended precursor (pre-snRNA), where it acquires a heptameric Sm ring. The SMN complex which catalyses this step, recruits Sm proteins and assembles them around the pre-snRNA at the single stranded Sm site. After additional modification, the complex is re-imported into the nucleus where the final maturation step occurs. Our modeling suggests that during the cytoplasmic stage of maturation pre-snRNA assumes a compact secondary structure containing Near Sm site Stem (NSS) which is not compattible with the formation of the Sm ring. To validate our in silico predictions we employed selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension sequencing (SHAPE-Seq) on U2 snRNA in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro, and U4 pre-snRNA in vitro. For the in vivo experiment HeLa cells were incubated for 10 min at 37°C with NAI or DMSO to final concentration 200 mM. RNA was isolated using Trizol (Sigma) and 200 µl chloroform and precipitated with ethanol at -20°C overnight. For the ex vivo experiment, RNA was isolated from HeLa cells after Protease K treatment at room temperature for 45 min. After incubation, RNA was isolated using equilibrated phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol buffered by folding buffer (110 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 110 mM KCl, 11 mM MgCl2) and cleaned on a PD-10 column according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated RNA was treated with 100mM NAI or DMSO for 10 min at 37°C. For the in vitro experiment, U2WT and U4 pre-snRNA were transcribed by T7 polymerase followed by DNase I (30 min at 37 °C) and Proteinase K (30 min at 37°C) treatments. U2 snRNA was purified on 30 kDa Amicon columns, folded for 30 min at 37°C in 57 mM MgCl2 and incubated with 100 mM NAI at 37°C for 10 min. DMSO was used as a negative control. U4 pre-snRNA was purified on Superdex 200 Increase 10/300GL, folded for 30 min at 37°C in 60 mM MgCl2 and incubated with 100 mM NAI at 37°C for 10 min. DMSO was used as a negative control. All prepared RNA samples (in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo) were used for reverse transcription with the gene-specific primer 5’-CGTTCCTGGAGGTACTGCAA for U2 snRNA and 5’- AAAAATTCAGTCTCCG for U4 pre-snRNA. We used SHAPE MaP buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 75 mM KCl, 10 mM DTT, 0.5 mM dNTP, 6 mM MnCl2) and SuperScript II (Invitrogen). Amplicons for snRNAs were generated using gene-specific forward and reverse primers. Importantly, the primers include Nextera adaptors required for downstream library construction. PCR reaction products were cleaned using Monarch PCR&DNA Clean-up Kits. Remaining Illumina adaptor sequences were added using the PCR MasterMix and index primers provided in the NexteraXT DNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Libraries were quantified using Qubit (Invitrogen) and BioAnalyzer (Agilent). Amplicons were sequenced on a NextSeq 500/550 platform using a 150 cycle mid-output kit. All sequencing data was analyzed using the ShapeMapper 2 analysis pipeline1. The ‘—amplicon’ and ‘—primers’ flags were used, along with sequences of gene-specific handles PCR primers, to ensure primer binding sites are excluded from reactivity calculations. Default read-depth thresholds of 5000x were used. Analysis of statistically significant reactivity differences between ex vivo and in vivo-determined SHAPE reactivities was performed using the DeltaSHAPE automated analysis tool and default settings2. 1.

Project description:Melanomas are heterogeneous and adopt multiple transcriptional states that can confer an invasive phenotype and resistance to therapy. Little is known about the epigenetic drivers of these cell states, limiting our ability to regulate melanoma heterogeneity and tumor progression. Here we identify stress-induced HDAC8 activity as the driver of a transcriptional state that increased the formation of melanoma brain metastases (MBM). Exposure of melanocytes and melanoma cells to multiple different stresses led to HDAC8 activation, a switch to a gene expression signature associated with a neural crest-stem cell like state (NCSC) and the adoption of an amoeboid, invasive phenotype. This cell state enhanced the survival of melanoma cells under shear stress conditions and increased the formation of metastases in the brain. ATAC-Seq and ChIP-Seq analysis showed HDAC8 to alter chromatin structure by increasing H3K27ac and accessibility at c-Jun binding sites without changing global histone acetylation. The increased accessibility of Jun binding sites was paralleled by decreased H3K27ac and accessibility at MITF binding sites and loss of melanoma-lineage gene expression. Mass spectrometry-based acetylomics demonstrated that HDAC8 deacetylated the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) EP300 leading to its enzymatic inactivation. This, in turn, led to an increased binding of EP300 to Jun-transcriptional sites and decreased binding to MITF-transcriptional sites. Increased expression of EP300 decreased invasion and increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to multiple stresses while inhibition of EP300 function increased invasion, resistance to stress and the development of MBM. We identified HDAC8 as a novel mediator of transcriptional co-factor inactivation and chromatin accessibility that increases MBM development.

Project description:An improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of brain metastases, one of the most common and devastating complications of advanced melanoma, may identify and prioritize rational therapeutic approaches for this disease. In particular, the identification of molecular differences between brain and extracranial metastases would support the need for the development of organ-specific therapeutic approaches. Hotspot mutations, copy number variations (CNV), global mRNA expression patterns, and protein expression and activation, quantitatively analyzed by molecular inversion probe arrays, microarrays and reverse phase protein array (RPPA) were evaluated in pairs of melanoma brain metastases and extracranial metastases from patients who had undergone surgical resection for both types of tumors. Seventy-two samples from 52 brain (except for patient 01, who had a spinal cord metastasis) and extracranial metastases of melanoma were analyzed. Available biological replicates (different parts of the same tumor) were included.

Project description:There is a critical need to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of -melanoma brain metastases (MBM). Thus, we performed RNA sequencing on 88 resected MBMs and 42 patient-matched extracranial metastases; tumors with sufficient tissue also underwent whole-exome sequencing, T-cell receptor sequencing, and IHC. MBMs demonstrated heterogeneity of immune infiltrates that correlated with prior radiation and post-craniotomy survival. Comparison with patient-matched extracranial metastases identified significant immunosuppression and enrichment of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in MBMs. Gene-expression analysis of intracranial and subcutaneous xenografts, and a spontaneous MBM model, confirmed increased OXPHOS gene expression in MBMs, which was also detected by direct metabolite profiling and [U-13C]-glucose tracing in vivo IACS-010759, an OXPHOS inhibitor currently in early-phase clinical trials, improved survival of mice bearing MAPK inhibitor-resistant intracranial melanoma xenografts and inhibited MBM formation in the spontaneous MBM model. The results provide new insights into the pathogenesis and therapeutic resistance of MBMs.

Project description:Removal of introns during pre-mRNA splicing, which is central to gene expression, initiates by base pairing of U1 snRNA with a 5' splice site (5'SS). In mammals, many introns contain weak 5'SSs that are not efficiently recognized by the canonical U1 snRNP, suggesting alternative mechanisms exist. Here, we develop a cross-linking immunoprecipitation coupled to a high-throughput sequencing method, BCLIP-seq, to identify NRDE2 (Nuclear RNAi defective-2) and CCDC174 (Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing 174) as novel RNA-binding proteins in mouse ES cells that associate with U1 snRNA and unspliced 5'SSs. Both proteins bind directly to U1 snRNA independently of canonical U1 snRNP specific proteins, and they are required for the selection and effective processing of weak 5'SSs. Our results reveal that mammalian cells use non-canonical splicing factors bound directly to U1 snRNA to effectively select suboptimal 5'SS sequences in hundreds of genes, promoting proper splice site choice and accurate pre-mRNA splicing.
