Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread reversible chemical modification of RNAs, implicated in many aspects of RNA metabolism. Little quantitative information exists as to either how many transcript copies of particular genes are m6A modified (âm6A levelsâ), or the relationship of m6A modification(s) to alternative RNA isoforms. To deconvolute the m6A epitranscriptome, we developed m6A level and isoform-characterization sequencing (m6A-LAIC-seq). We found that cells exhibit a broad range of non-stoichiometric m6A levels with cell type specificity. At the level of isoform characterization, we discovered widespread differences in use of tandem alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites by methylated and nonmethylated transcript isoforms of individual genes. Strikingly, there is a strong bias for methylated transcripts to be coupled with proximal APA sites, resulting in shortened 3â untranslated regions (3â-UTRs), while nonmethylated transcript isoforms tend to use distal APA sites. m6A-LAIC-seq yields a new perspective on transcriptome complexity and links APA usage to m6A modifications. m6A-LAIC-seq of H1-ESC and GM12878 cell lines, each cell line has two replicates

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β are essential for scleroderma pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis executor gasdermin D(GSDMD), which is a downstream molecule of NLRP3 and is required for IL-1β release in some situations, has not yet been well elucidated in scleroderma. The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in the degree of skin fibrosis between GSDMD-/- and wild type mice in a bleomycin-induced scleroderma model, and the molecular pathways that may be involved.Total RNA from skin biopsies from GSDMD-/- and wild type mice after subcutaneous injection of BLM to induce skin fibrosis was examined by nextGen RNA sequencing

Project description:N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) is one of the most important RNA modifications involved in several biological and pathological processes, including cancer. Dysregulation of m6A has been linked with tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis of several cancer types, including colon cancer. A transcriptome of colon cancer describes the dysregulated coding and non-coding RNAs but does not reveal the mechanisms like m6A modifications that determine the post-transcriptional and pre-translational regulations. Epi-transcriptome profiling of m6A in colon cancer cell lines was performed using Methylated RNA Immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) sequencing. Overall, the study illustrates the distribution of m6A across the transcriptome of various colon cancer cell lines.

Project description:We have performed a epitranscriptomics study in which we first tretaed DMSO as a negative control and cisplatin in HeLa cells. Total RNA was isolated from control as well as CP treated cells and apoptotic rate was determined by flow cytometry. Total RNAs were subjected to miCLIP to identify differentially m6A methylated RNAs. We then transcriptionally analyzed apoptotic genes which have differential m6A methylation in CP tretament by qPCR. Afterthat, candidate genes were examined at the level of translation by polysome fractioantion assay.

Project description:To further understand the relationship between the level of gene expression and protein translation in human placenta, we focused on N6-methyladenosine: m6A, which is a methylation modification of mRNA acting as a post-transcriptional regulation which has drawn attention in recent years. It is said that m6A affects the fate of mRNA. In addition, it is thought that m6A affects gene expression in the placenta of preeclampsia which is a representative disease of perinatal period and fetal growth abnormality, and the placentas of children who were small for date (SFD) or heavy for date (HFD) were studied in addition to appropriate for date (AFD) preganancies. The SFD placentas contained half of the cases with PE. HEK293T cell was used to confirm the experimental system. PolyA RNA was purified from each tissue and cell, and libraries were prepared from immunoprecipitated (IP) samples using anti-m6A antibody and input samples, and sequenced with Hiseq 1500/2500 and RNAseq was carried out.

Project description:The intestinal microbiota modulates host physiology and gene expression via mechanisms that are not fully understood. A recently discovered layer of gene expression regulation is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modifications of mRNA. To unveil if these epitranscriptomic marks are affected by the gut microbiota, we performed methylated RNA-immunoprecipitation and sequencing (MeRIP-seq) to examine m6A-modifications in transcripts of mice displaying either a conventional, or a modified, or no gut microbiota and discovered that the microbiota has a strong influence on m6A- modifications in the cecum, and also, albeit to a lesser extent, in the liver, affecting pathways related to metabolism, inflammatory and antimicrobial responses . We furthermore analysed expression levels of several known writer and eraser enzymes and found the methyltransferase Mettl16 to be downregulated in absence of a microbiota. As a consequence, one of its targets, the S-adenosyl methionine synthase Mat2a was less expressed in mice without gut flora. We furthermore show that distinct commensal bacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila, Lactobacillus plantarum can affect specific m6A modifications. Together, we report here epitranscriptomic modifications as an additional level of interaction in the complex interplay between commensal bacteria and their host.
