Project description:p53 inactivation occurs only rarely in neuroblastoma, although miR-34, a transcriptional target of p53, is often deleted in neuroblastoma, suggesting another way in which p53 signaling might be impaired. In this study we show that miR-34 directly targets and downregulates the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) and its associated histone demethylase, JARID1A, in a p53-dependent manner, 4 samples were transfected with miRNA control or miR-34a, miR-34b, miR-34c into SK-N-BE2 cells.

Project description:The miR-34 family of microRNAs consisting of miR-34a, miR-34b and miR-34c are tumour suppressors. The annotated human miR-34b-5p has one additional base at the 5’ end of the common miR-34 family seed sequence, compared to miR-34a-5p and miR-34c-5p. This extra base results in a shift of the seed sequence, which would affect the target gene repertoire and have functional consequences. During our studies of miR-34 functions, we investigated the precise sequence of mature miR-34b-5p in human cells by deep sequencing. We found that a miR-34b-5p without the extra base was the predominant form in both non-malignant and malignant cells derived from several human tissues, indicating that the miR-34b annotation is misleading. We evaluated the functional implications of the seed shift, by comparing the effect of mimics representing the alternative miR-34b-5p sequences in MDA-MB-231 cells. In contrast to the annotated miR-34b, the endogenously expressed miR-34b displayed tumour suppressive characteristics in vitro similarly to miR-34c. These data demonstrate the importance of determining the precise sequence of a mature microRNA before exploring miRNA functions.

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression that occurs in response to miR-449 or miR-34 overexpression in proliferating HAECs. Each donors were transfected with pre-miR-Negative control, pre-miR-449a and pre-miR-449b. The donors 3 and 4 were morever transfected with pre-miRs-34 (34a, 34b-5p, 34c-5p).

Project description:Expression of the miR-34 family (miR-34a, -34b, -34c) is elevated in settings of heart disease, and inhibition with antimiR-34a/antimiR-34 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Under chronic cardiac disease settings, targeting the entire miR-34 family is more effective than targeting miR-34a alone. The identification of transcription factor (TF)-miRNA regulatory networks has added complexity to understanding the therapeutic potential miRNA-based therapies. Here, we sought to determine whether antimiR-34 targets secondary miRNAs via TFs which could contribute to antimiR-34-mediated protection. Using miRNA-Seq we identified differentially regulated miRNAs in hearts from mice with cardiac pathology due to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), and these miRNAs were also regulated by antimiR-34. Two clusters of stress-responsive miRNAs were classified as “pathological” and “cardioprotective”. Using ChIPBase we identified 45 TF binding sites on the promoters of “pathological” and “cardioprotective” miRNAs, and 5 represented direct targets of miR-34, with the capacity to regulate other miRNAs. The expression of two “pathological” miRNAs (let-7e and miR-31) was independently experimentally validated in hearts from antimiR-34 treated TAC mice, and may explain why targeting the entire miR-34 family is more effective than targeting miR-34a alone. AntimiR-34 regulates the expression of other miRNAs and this has significant implications for drug development.

Project description:Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a disorder due to inherited mutations in the TP53 gene resulting in an increased risk of developing several types of cancer. MicroRNA miR-34a has been implicated downstream of p53 on the basis of being a direct transcriptional target and, when over-expressed, having pro-apoptotic phenotypes in cell lines. Moreover, miR-34a has been shown to be a modifier gene in the context of LFS, since its epigenetic silencing increases the likelihood of tumour development in patients with mutant TP53. However, the in vivo consequences of miR-34 loss are still unclear. For example, mice lacking all three (a,b,c) miR-34 homologs show no detectable abnormalities in p53 responses. The relative expression of different miR-34 genes in zebrafish was studied using qRT-PCR with specific assays. The miR-34a, miR-34b and miR-34c display unique onset of developmental expression and expression levels, with miR-34a being the most abundant and constant in expression. All of the miR-34 genes also showed clear induction by p53 when DNA-damaging treatments are performed. Using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, we generated a zebrafish miR-34a deletion mutant to further investigate the roles of miR-34a on its own and its association with the p53 pathway. Predictably, a miR-34a deletion mutant demonstrated absence of miR-34a, though without miR-34b and miR-34c compensation beyond baseline expression levels. Mutants survive to adulthood, show no overt phenotypes and have normal apoptotic responses to DNA-damaging irradiation or camptothecin treatments. To further explore the effects of miR-34a, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq of wild-type and miR-34a deletion mutant zebrafish embryos at 72 hpf. We wanted to explore how miR-34a loss affects differentiated organs in larval zebrafish. This resulted in 389 genes UP and 374 genes DOWN at 1.5-fold change and FDR < 0.05. There was no significant enrichment of predicted miR-34a target genes among the differentially regulated genes but some interesting biological trends were found and will be described in the paper associated with this dataset.

To further explore the effects of miR-34a, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq of wild-type and miR-34a deletion mutant zebrafish embryos at 28 hpf with or without treatment with a DNA-damaging drug camptothecin. The results of this RNA-seq experiments showed that the loss of miR-34a does not strongly affect induction of genes by DNA-damage. However, the overall pattern of gene expression is significantly different as shown by Principal Component Analysis and there is a group of about 100 genes which are differentially expressed due to loss of miR-34a. The dataset we present in this submission was used to reach these conclusions.

To further explore the effects of miR-34a, we performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq of wild-type and miR-34a deletion mutant zebrafish embryos at 8 hpf. This experiment was motivated by a previous report knock-down of miR-34a in zebrafish leads to dramatic increases in expression of miR-34a target genes. We therefore expected that this experiment will help define the set of miR-34a target genes. The results of this RNA-seq experiment showed that the loss of miR-34a led to large transcriptomic effects at 8 hpf (1573 genes UP and 1679 genes DOWN at 1.5-fold change and FDR < 0.05). There was no significant enrichment of predicted miR-34a target genes among the differentially regulated genes but some interesting biological trends were found and will be described in the paper associated with this dataset.

Project description:miR-34a and miR-34b/c genes are frequently epigenetically silenced in primary CRCs. However, the in vivo relevance of miR-34a/b/c for suppression of intestinal tumor formation has not been analyzed by genetic approaches. ApcMin/+ mice with deletion of the miR-34a and miR-34b/c genes were generated and analyzed. The mRNA expression profiles of intestinal adenomas with and without functional miR-34a/b/c genes were compared.
