RNA-sequencing reveals strong predominance of THRA splicing isoform 2 in the developing and adult human brain

ABSTRACT: Thyroid hormone receptor alpha (THRα) is a nuclear hormone receptor that binds triiodothyronine (T3) and acts as an important transcription factor in development, metabolism and reproduction. THRα has in mammals two major splicing isoforms, THRα1 and THRα2. The better characterized isoform, THRα1, is a transcriptional stimulator of genes involved in cell metabolism and growth. The less well characterized isoform, THRα2, lacks the Ligand Binding Domain (LBD) and is thought to act as an inhibitor of THRα1 action. The ratio of THRα1 to THRα2 splicing isoforms is therefore critical for transcriptional regulation in different tissues and during development. However, the expression patterns of both isoforms have not been studied in healthy human tissues or in the developing brain. Given the lack of commercially available isoform-specific antibodies, we addressed this question by analyzing four bulk RNA-sequencing datasets and two scRNA-sequencing datasets to determine the RNA expression levels of human THRA1 and THRA2 transcripts in healthy adult tissues and in the developing brain. We demonstrate how 10X Chromium scRNA-seq datasets can be used to perform splicing-sensitive analyses of isoforms that differ at the 3'-end. In all datasets, we discovered a strong predominance of THRA2 transcripts at all stages of brain development and in central nervous system from healthy human adults.

RNA-sequencing reveals predominance of THRA splicing isoform 2 in developing human brain [treated]

Project description:Thyroid Hormone Receptor α (THRα) is a nuclear hormone receptor for triiodothyronine (T3) that acts as a transcription factor. Depending on its splicing pattern, it may act either as a stimulator or inhibitor of gene transcription. The relative proportions of the THRα splicing isoforms (THRα1 versus THRα2) in different tissues are crucial for the outcome of transcription regulation. To date, the tissue-specific expression patterns of the two main isoforms in human cortical development have not been determined. To address this gap, we generated cortical brain organoids in vitro following the STEMdiff™ Cerebral Organoid Kit guidelines. Samples were treated with 50nM T3 48h before collection to perturb the Thyroid Hormone-regulated system. We then generated the stranded bulk RNA-Seq dataset here presented. We employed a bioinformatics pipeline to ensure the quality of the dataset and to extract and quantify the read counts specific for our isoforms of interest. We observed a steady increase of THRα transcript in time and a strong predominance of THRα2 transcripts at all stages.

Aberrant splicing isoforms detected by full-length transcriptome sequencing as transcripts of potential neoantigens in non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:To identify aberrant splicing isoforms and potential neoantigens, we performed full-length cDNA sequencing of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines using a long-read sequencer MinION. We constructed a comprehensive catalog of aberrant splicing isoforms and detected isoform-specific peptides using proteome analysis.

RNA isoform repertoire of neuropsychiatric risk genes in human brain

Project description:Neuropsychiatric disorders are highly complex conditions and the risk of developing a disorder has been tied to hundreds of genomic variants that alter the expression and/or products (isoforms) made by risk genes. However, how these genes contribute to disease risk and onset through altered expression and RNA splicing is not well understood. Here we show our current understanding of gene isoforms is far from complete and reveal the precise splicing profiles of neuropsychiatric disorder risk genes. Combining our new bioinformatic pipeline IsoLamp with nanopore long-read amplicon sequencing, we deeply profiled the RNA isoform repertoire of 31 high-confidence neuropsychiatric disorder risk genes in human brain. We show most risk genes are more complex than previously reported, identifying 443 novel isoforms and 28 novel exons, including isoforms which alter protein domains, and genes such as ATG13 and GATAD2A where most expression was from previously undiscovered isoforms. The greatest isoform diversity was present in the schizophrenia risk gene ITIH4. Mass spectrometry of brain protein isolates confirmed translation of a novel exon skipping event in ITIH4, suggesting a new regulatory mechanism for this gene in brain. Our results emphasize the widespread presence of previously undetected RNA and protein isoforms in brain and provide an effective approach to address this knowledge gap. Uncovering the isoform repertoire of neuropsychiatric risk genes will underpin future analyses of the functional impact these isoforms have on neuropsychiatric disorders, enabling the translation of genomic findings into a pathophysiological understanding of disease.

EMpire: Deep isoform level integration of the transcriptome, translatome, and proteome

Project description:In this study, we make used of mRNA-seq and its ability to reliably quantify isoforms, integrating this data with ribosome profiling and LC-MS/MS, to assign ribosome footprints and peptides at the isoform level. We leverage the principle that most cell types, and even tissues, predominantly express a single principal isoform to set isoform-level mRNA-seq quantifications as priors to guide and improve allocation of footprints or peptides to isoforms. Through tightly integrated mRNAseq, ribosome footprinting and/or LC-MS/MS proteomics we demonstrate that a principal isoform can be identified in over 80% of gene products in homogenous HEK293 cell culture and over 70% of proteins detected in complex human brain tissue. Defining isoforms in experiments with matched RNA-seq and translatomic/proteomic data increases the functional relevance of such datasets and will further broaden our understanding of multi-level control of gene expression. In this PRIDE submission you will find the raw files for the HEK293 cell proteomics. Files for the human brain proteomics can be found at PXD005445. We have also uploaded a zip file that contains the input files for our HEK293 cell analysis, and the isoform level output files – there is a separate folder within the zip files for these. The data used to create the manuscript figures is in the Rdata file. Code for assigning peptides and footprints to isoforms can be found on Github here: https://github.com/rkitchen/EMpire

Alternative Isoform Regulation in Human Tissue Transcriptomes

Project description:Through alternative processing of pre-mRNAs, individual mammalian genes often produce multiple mRNA and protein isoforms that may have related, distinct or even opposing functions. Here we report an in-depth analysis of 15 diverse human tissue and cell line transcriptomes based on deep sequencing of cDNA fragments, yielding a digital inventory of gene and mRNA isoform expression. Analysis of mappings of sequence reads to exon-exon junctions indicated that ~94% of human genes undergo alternative splicing (AS), ~86% with a minor isoform frequency of 15% or more. Differences in isoform-specific read densities indicated that a majority of AS and alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) events exhibit variation between tissues. Variations in alternative mRNA isoform expression between 6 individuals were also detected in cerebellar cortex, with ~2- to 3-fold less isoform variation observed between individuals than between tissues. Extreme or 'switch-like' regulation of splicing between tissues was associated with increased sequence conservation and with generation of full-length open reading frames. Patterns of AS and APA were strongly correlated across tissues, suggesting coordinated regulation, and sequence conservation of known regulatory motifs in both regulated introns and 3' UTRs suggested common involvement of the same factors in regulation of tissue-specific splicing and polyadenylation.
