Endocytosed dsRNAs induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization that allows cytosolic dsRNA translocation for Drosophila RNAi response

ABSTRACT: RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene-silencing mechanism triggered by the cytosolic entry of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). Many animal cells internalize extracellular dsRNAs via endocytosis for RNAi induction. However, it is not clear how the endocytosed dsRNAs are translocated into the cytosol across the endo/lysosomal membrane. Herein, we show that in Drosophila S2 cells, endocytosed dsRNAs induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) that allows cytosolic dsRNA translocation. LMP mediated by dsRNAs requires the lysosomal Cl−/H+ antiporter ClC-b/DmOstm1. In clc-b or dmostm1 knockout S2 cells, extracellular dsRNAs are endocytosed and reach the lysosomes normally but fail to enter the cytosol. Pharmacological induction of LMP restores extracellular dsRNA-directed RNAi in clc-b or dmostm1-knockout cells. Furthermore, clc-b or dmostm1 mutant flies are defective in extracellular dsRNA-directed RNAi and its associated antiviral immunity. Therefore, endocytosed dsRNAs have an intrinsic ability to induce ClC-b/DmOstm1-dependent LMP that allows cytosolic dsRNA translocation for RNAi responses in Drosophila cells.

RNA 5-methylcytosine marks mitochondrial double-stranded RNAs for degradation and cytosolic release

Project description:Mitochondria are essential regulators of innate immunity. They generate long double-stranded RNAs (mt-dsRNAs) and release them to the cytosol to trigger immune response under pathological stress conditions. Yet, the regulation of these self-immunogenic RNAs remains largely unknown. Here, we employ CRISPR screening on RNA-binding proteins residing in mitochondria and identify NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 4 (NSUN4) as a key regulator of mt-dsRNA expression. We find that NSUN4 induces 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification on mitochondrial RNAs, especially on the termini of light-strand long noncoding RNAs. These m5C-modified RNAs are recognized by complement C1q binding protein (C1QBP), which recruits polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase to facilitate RNA turnover. Suppression of NSUN4 or C1QBP results in increased mt-dsRNA expression while C1QBP deficiency also leads to increased cytosolic mt-dsRNAs and subsequent immune activation. Collectively, our study unveils the mechanism underlying the selective degradation of light-strand mitochondrial RNAs and establishes a molecular mark for mitochondrial RNA decay and cytosolic release.

Evidence of off-target effects associated with long dsRNAs in Drosophila cell-based assays

Project description:To evaluate the specificity of long dsRNAs used in high-throughput RNAi screens performed at the Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC), we performed a global analysis of their activity in 30 genome-wide screens completed at our facility. Surprisingly, our analysis predicts that dsRNAs containing ≥19 nucleotide perfect matches identified in silico to unintended targets may contribute to a significant false positive error rate arising from off-target effects. We confirmed experimentally that such sequences in dsRNAs lead to false positives and to the efficient knockdown of a cross-hybridizing transcript, raising a cautionary note when interpreting results based on the use of a single dsRNA per gene. Although a full appreciation of all causes of false positive errors remains to be determined, we suggest simple guidelines to help ensure high quality information from RNAi high-throughput screens Keywords: Specificity of long dsRNAs, Drosophila melanogaster, SL2 cell line, custom cDNA arrays, off-target effects, Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC)

ADAR1 utilizes independent mechanisms to suppress MDA5 and PKR activation by cellular double-stranded RNA

Project description:The antiviral defense in vertebrates requires the innate immune system to sense foreign “non-self” nucleic acids while avoiding “self” nucleic acids, which is accomplished by an intricate system. Cellular double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) are edited by the RNA editing enzyme ADAR1 to prevent their dsRNA structure pattern from being recognized as viral dsRNA. Lack of RNA editing by ADAR1 enables activation of MDA5, a cytosolic dsRNA sensor, by cellular dsRNA. Additional RNA editing- independent functions of ADAR1 have been proposed, but the specific mechanism remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that RNA binding by ADAR1, independent of its editing activity, restricts the activation of PKR, another cytosolic dsRNA sensor, by cellular dsRNA. Mechanistically, the loss of ADAR1 editing caused MDA5 activation to induce interferon signaling, while a lack of ADAR1 protein or its dsRNA binding ability led to PKR activation, with subsequent stress granule formation and proliferation arrest. Based on these findings we rescued the Adar1−/− mice from embryonic lethality to adulthood by deleting both MDA5 and PKR, in contrast to the limited rescue of Adar1−/− mice by removing MDA5 or PKR alone. Our findings reveal a multifaceted contribution of ADAR1 in regulating the immunogenicity of “self” dsRNAs. Furthermore, ADAR1 is an immuno-oncology target for drug development, and the separation of ADAR1’s RNA editing and binding functions provides mechanistic insights for such developments.

Inhibiting DDX3X triggers tumor-intrinsic type I interferon response and enhances anti-tumor immunity

Project description:Accumulating evidence has shown that cellular double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) induce antiviral innate immune responses in human normal and malignant cancer cells. However, it is not fully understood how endogenous ‘self’ dsRNA homeostasis is regulated in the cell. Here, we show that an RNA-binding protein, DEAD-box RNA helicase 3X (DDX3X), prevents the aberrant accumulation of cellular dsRNAs. Loss of DDX3X induces dsRNA sensor-mediated type I interferon signaling and innate immune response in breast cancer cells due to abnormal cytoplasmic accumulation of dsRNAs. Dual depletion of DDX3X and a dsRNA-editing protein, ADAR1 synergistically activates the cytosolic dsRNA pathway in breast cancer cell. Moreover, inhibiting DDX3X enhances the antitumor activity by increasing tumor intrinsic-type I interferon response, antigen presentation, and tumor-infiltration of cytotoxic T cells as well as dendritic cells in breast tumors, which may lead to the development of breast cancer therapy by targeting DDX3X in combination with immune checkpoint blockade. To assess the impact of DDX3X on the gene expression in the breast cancer, we stably depleted DDX3X in breast cancer MCF7 cells using a short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown, and performed a genome-wide transcriptome analysis using a next-generation RNA deep sequencing.

Production of functional small interfering RNAs by human Dicer

Project description:While RNA interference (RNAi) functions as a potent antiviral innate immune response in plants and invertebrates, mammalian somatic cells appear incapable of mounting an RNAi response and few small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be detected. To examine why siRNA production is inefficient, we have generated double knockout human cells lacking both Dicer and PKR. Using these cells, which tolerate dsRNA expression, we show that mutant forms of human Dicer lacking the amino-terminal helicase domain can process dsRNAs to produce high levels of siRNAs that are readily detectable by Northern blot and that can effectively and specifically inhibit the expression of cognate mRNAs. However, even these more active Dicer mutants produce only modest levels of viral siRNAs in infected cells that are insufficient to inhibit viral replication. We conclude that the production of siRNAs from viral dsRNAs is likely inefficient due to the poor accessibility of viral dsRNAs to Dicer.

Larval application of sodium channel homologous dsRNA restores pyrethroid insecticide susceptibility in a resistant adult mosquito population

Project description:Mosquitoes host and pass on to humans a variety of disease-causing pathogens such as infectious viruses and other parasitic microorganisms. The emergence and spread of insecticide resistance is threatening the effectiveness of current control measures for common mosquito vector borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue and Zika. Therefore, the emerging resistance to the widely used pyrethroid insecticides is an alarming problem for public health. Among the new approaches implemented for pest control, one of the most promising is RNA interference (RNAi). The aim of this study was to provide a feasible RNAi solution that can be applied on wild pyrethroid resistant mosquito populations in the near future. To achieve this, high dsRNA efficacy at economic quantities is required. It is recognized that the sodium channel transcript variability governs its functional diversity including the emergence of insecticide resistance. Therefore, to maximize the RNAi effect, we tiled a number of overlapping dsRNA constructs that together target about half of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) transcript variants annotated in this work. This strategy provided a refined dsRNA trigger that increased mortality with a three-fold decrease in dsRNA amounts compared to the primary VGSC dsRNA construct. Thus, we demonstrated the use of RNA interference (RNAi) to increase susceptibility of adult mosquitoes to a widely used pyrethroid insecticide. Small RNA sequences from 5 mosquitoes treated with Random or VGSC dsRNAs were generated using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Proteins enriched on damaged lysosomes in 293T

Project description:Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) or lysosomal membrane damage is commonly associated with aging and age-related diseases. In searching for cellular mechanisms in response to LMP, we used a proteomic approach to identify proteins enriched on damaged lysosomes. This unbiased approach identified a new phosphoinositide signaling pathway triggered by LMP to mediate rapid lysosomal repair. Specifically, LMP induces fast lysosomal recruitment of PI4K2A which generates high levels of the lipid messenger phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) on damaged lysosomes. Lysosomal PtdIns4P in turn recruits multiple oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related protein (ORP) family members, including ORP9, ORP10, and ORP11, to orchestrate extensive membrane contact sites (MCSs) between damaged lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ORPs subsequently catalyze robust ER-to-lysosomal transport of phosphatidylserine (PS), which is critical for rapid lysosomal repair. The lipid transporter ATG2 is also recruited to damaged lysosomes, activated by PS, and is essential for rapid lysosomal repair. Our findings identify a phosphoinositide-dependent membrane tethering and lipid transport (PITT) pathway essential for the maintenance of lysosomal membrane integrity, with important implications for a wide range of diseases characterized by impaired lysosomal function.

Transcription profiling of C. elegans dcr-1, unc-32 homozygous mutants vs. coiling unc-32 (wild type) to investidate interference synthesis of small developmental RNAs

Project description:Homozygous mutant dcr-1 animals were analyzed by Affymetrix microarray analysis using whole worm adult animals. The worms was genetically marked with a recessive allele of unc-32 that exhibits a coiler phenotype in unc-32 homozygous null animals. The "wildtype" comparison worm used in this study were coiling unc-32 animals and the dcr-1 deficient animal contained both the dcr-1 and the unc-32 mutations. Worms were picked and pooled for analysis. <br>Wormbase concise description of dcr-1 (DiCer Related): The dcr-1 gene encodes a bidentate ribonuclease that is homologous to E. coli RNAse III; dcr-1 is required both for RNA interference and for synthesis of small developmental RNAs; DCR-1 interacts in vivo with RDE-4, a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein required for RNAi that interacts with trigger dsRNAs and may function to deliver dsRNAs to DCR-1 for endonucleolytic processing.

STAT3 enhances sensitivity of glioblastoma to drug-induced autophagy-dependent lysosomal cell death

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a devastating disease and the most common primary brain malignancy of adults with a median survival barely exceeding one year. Recent findings suggest that the antipsychotic drug pimozide triggers an autophagy-dependent, lysosomal type of cell death in GBM cells with possible implications for GBM therapy. One oncoprotein that is often overactivated in these tumors and associated with a particularly dismal prognosis is Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3). Here, we used isogenic human GBM knockout cell lines, advanced fluorescence microscopy, transcriptomic analysis and FACS-based assessment of cell viability to show that STAT3 has an underappreciated, context-dependent role in drug-induced cell death. Specifically, we demonstrate that depletion of STAT3 significantly enhances cell survival after treatment with pimozide, suggesting that STAT3 confers a particular vulnerability to GBM. Furthermore, we show that active STAT3 has no major influence on the early steps of the autophagy pathway, but exacerbates drug-induced lysosomal membrane permeabilisation (LMP) and release of cathepsins into the cytosol. Collectively, our findings support the concept of exploiting the pro-death functions of autophagy and LMP for GBM therapy and to further determine whether STAT3 can be employed as a treatment predictor for highly apoptosis-resistant, but autophagy-proficient cancers.
