Ubiquitous expression of long dsRNA in mice causes mainly RNAi effects in the oocyte

ABSTRACT: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can enter different pathways in mammalian cells, such as the sequence-specific RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, the sequence-independent interferon response, and RNA editing by adenosine deaminases. To study routing of long dsRNA into different pathways in different tissues, we generated transgenic mice carrying an inverted repeat transcribed by a strong, ubiquitously active polII promoter. Here, we provide the first report of effects caused by ubiquitous long dsRNA expression in the adult mouse. Long dsRNA is poorly processed into siRNAs in somatic cells but readily induces the RNAi effects in the oocyte, suggesting that somatic cells are missing a component of RNAi that facilitates siRNA biogenesis. Expression of dsRNA is not sufficient to activate the interferon pathway and has a minimal effect on the transcriptome in somatic cells. The interferon response in somatic cells could be induced with high doses of dsRNA expression, suggesting that somatic cells can tolerate endogenous dsRNA expression to a large extent. Our data demonstrate that the association between long dsRNA and the interferon pathway in somatic cells cannot be generalized and that cells recognize other features of dsRNA molecules, which increase or reduce the likelihood activation of a particular dsRNA-induced pathway.

Efficient Dicer processing of virus-derived double-stranded RNAs and its modulation by RIG-I-like receptor LGP2

Project description:The function and mechanism of the interferon-regulated antiviral responses have been extensively characterized. Recent studies have demonstrated induction of antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) in somatic cells against several mammalian RNA viruses rendered incapable of RNAi suppression. However, little is known about Dicer-mediated production of virus-derived small-interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) in these cells active in the type I interferon response. Here we show that the dsRNA precursors of influenza vsiRNAs were processed more efficiently than cellular precursor microRNA hairpins by wild-type human Dicer expressed de novo in Dicer-knockout somatic cells. We found that infection of two strains of suckling mice with wild-type Nodamura virus (NoV) was associated with production of silencing-active vsiRNAs and direct sequestration of duplex vsiRNAs by its RNAi suppressor protein B2. Our findings from in vivo infection with Sindbis virus recombinants expressing NoV B2 or carrying a vsiRNA-targeted insert provide evidence for an antiviral function of the induced RNAi response. Interestingly, NoV infection induces expression of RIG-I-like receptor LGP2 to inhibit vsiRNA biogenesis and promote virulent infection in suckling mice. Our findings together reveal efficient Dicer processing of vsiRNA precursors in interferon-competent somatic cells and suckling mice in contrast to synthetic long dsRNA examined previously by in vitro dicing.

A retrotransposon-driven Dicer variant enhances endogenous RNAi in mouse oocytes

Project description:Mammals have one Dicer gene required for biogenesis of small RNAs in microRNA (miRNA) and RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Yet, endogenous RNAi is highly active in oocytes but not in somatic cells. Here, we provide a mechanistical explanation for high RNAi activity in mouse oocytes. The main Dicer isoform in oocytes is transcribed from an intronic MT-C retrotransposon, which functions as a promoter of an oocyte-specific Dicer isoform (denoted DicerO). DicerO lacks an N-terminal helicase domain and has a higher cleavage activity than the full-length Dicer from somatic cells. DicerO can rescue the miRNA pathway and, in addition, it efficiently produces small RNAs from long dsRNA substrates. Thus, control of endogenous RNAi activity in mice occurs via alternative Dicer isoform and the phylogenetic origin of DicerO demonstrates evolutionary plasticity of RNA silencing pathways. NIH3T3 cells or mouse embryonic stem cells expressing oocyte-specific or somatic form of Dicer were transiently transfected with a plasmid expressing long double-stranded RNA (within the 3'-UTR of EGFP reporter) or left without transfection for controls.

Effects of long dsRNA expression in HeLa and HEK293 cells

Project description:Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can enter different pathways in mammalian cells, including sequence-specific RNA interference, sequence-independent interferon response and editing by adenosine deaminases. To assess the potential of expressed dsRNA to induce interferon stimulated genes in somatic cells, we performed microarray analysis of HEK293 and HeLa cells transfected with a MosIR plasmid expressing an mRNA with a long inverted repeat structure in its 3’UTR (MosIR) or with a parental MosIR plasmid (without inverted repeat) as a control. Clustering analysis based on differentially expressed genes suggested that there was no common transcriptome signature in cells expressing dsRNA. Overall, the number of genes with altered expression upon transfection of the MosIR plasmid was rather small and only 19 probe sets, corresponding to 17 genes, were changed more than two-fold in both cell lines. Total RNA from cultured HEK293 or HeLa cells was used in each sample. Two independent biological replicates were analyzed for each condition.

The RIG-I like receptor LGP2 inhibits Dicer-dependent processing of long double-stranded RNA and blocks RNA interference in mammalian cells.

Project description:In vertebrates, the presence of viral RNA in the cytosol is sensed by members of the RIG-I like receptor (RLR) family , which signal to induce production of type I interferons (IFN). These key anti-viral cytokines act in a paracrine and autocrine manner to induce hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), whose protein products restrict viral entry, replication and budding. ISGs include the RLRs themselves: RIG-I, MDA5 and the least-studied family member, LGP2. In contrast, the IFN system is absent in plants and invertebrates, which defend themselves from viral intruders using RNA interference (RNAi). In RNAi, the endoribonuclease Dicer cleaves virus-derived double stranded RNA (dsRNA) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that target complementary viral RNA for cleavage. Interestingly, the RNAi machinery is conserved in mammals and we have recently demonstrated that it is able to participate in mammalian antiviral defence in conditions in which the IFN system is suppressed. In contrast, when the IFN system is active, one or more ISGs act to mask or suppress antiviral RNAi. Here, we demonstrate that LGP2 constitutes one of the ISGs that can inhibit antiviral RNAi in mammals. We identify Dicer as an LGP2-associated protein and show that LGP2 inhibits Dicer cleavage of dsRNA into siRNAs both in vitro and in vivo. Further, we show that in cells lacking an IFN response, ectopic expression of LGP2 interferes with RNAi-dependent suppression of gene expression. Thus, the inefficiency of RNAi as a mechanism of antiviral defence in mammalian somatic cells can be in part attributed to Dicer inhibition by LGP2 induced by type I IFNs.

Endogenous siRNAs derived from transposons and mRNAs in Drosophila somatic cells

Project description:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) direct RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotes. In flies, somatic cells produce siRNAs from exogenous double-stranded RNA as a defense against viral infection. Here, we identify 21-nt long, endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs) corresponding to transposons and heterochromatic sequences in the somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster. We also detected endo-siRNAs complementary to mRNAs: these siRNAs disproportionately mapped to the complementary regions of overlapping mRNAs predicted to form dsRNA in vivo. Normal accumulation of somatic endo-siRNAs requires the siRNA-generating ribonuclease, Dicer-2, and the RNAi effector protein, Ago2. We propose that endo-siRNAs generated by the fly RNAi pathway silence selfish genetic elements in the soma much as piRNAs do in the germ line. Keywords: Small RNA detection and quantification. Small RNAs (18-30 nt) from fly heads (WT, ago2 mutants, dcr-2 homozygous and heterozygous mutants, and WT expressing an inverted repeat directed against exon 3 of the gene "white") and S2 cells (transgenic for a construct expressing siRNAs against white and GFP) were sequenced using a Solexa Genome Analyzer instrument. Raw sequence data files for this study are available for download from the SRA FTP site at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/Studies/SRP000/SRP000181
