Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play crucial roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Poly(A) RNA polymerase D5 (PAPD5) catalyzes the addition of adenosine to the 3′ end of miRNAs. In this study, we demonstrated that the Yin Yang 1 protein, a transcriptional repressor of PAPD5, was recruited to both RNA foci and protein aggregates, resulting in an upregulation of PAPD5 expression in Huntington’s disease (HD). Additionally, we identified a subset of PAPD5-regulated miRNAs with increased adenylation and reduced expression in our disease model. We focused on miR-7-5p and found that its reduction caused the activation of the TAB2-mediated TAK1–MKK4–JNK pro-apoptotic pathway. This pathway was also activated in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived striatal neurons and post-mortem striatal tissues isolated from HD patients. In addition, we discovered that a small molecule PAPD5 inhibitor, BCH001, could mitigate cell death and neurodegeneration in our disease models. This study highlights the importance of PAPD5-mediated miRNA dysfunction in HD pathogenesis and suggests a potential therapeutic direction for the disease.

Project description:Next-generation sequencing experiments have shown that microRNAs are expressed in many different isoforms (isomiRs), whose biological relevance is often unclear. We found that mature miR-21, the most widely researched microRNA because of its importance in human disease, is produced in two prevalent isomiR forms that differ by one nucleotide at their 3M-bM-^@M-^Y end, and moreover that the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y end of miR-21 is post transcriptionally adenylated by the noncanonical poly(A) polymerase PAPD5. PAPD5 knockdown caused an increase in the miR-21 expression level, suggesting that PAPD5-mediated adenylation of miR-21 leads to its degradation. Exoribonuclease knockdown experiments followed by small RNA sequencing suggested that PARN degrades miR-21 in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-to-5M-bM-^@M-^Y direction. In accordance with this model, microarray expression profiling demonstrated that PAPD5 knockdown results in a downregulation of miR-21 target mRNAs. We found that disruption of the miR-21 adenylation and degradation pathway is a general feature in tumors across a wide range of tissues, as evidenced by data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, as well as in the non-cancerous proliferative disease psoriasis. We conclude that PAPD5 and PARN mediate degradation of oncomiR miR-21 through a tailing and trimming process, and that this pathway is disrupted in cancer and other proliferative diseases. Gene expression levels were profiled by Illumina microarrays using RNA produced previously (PMID 20719920). Briefly, total RNA was extracted from THP1 cells in four replicates 72 hours after transfection of siRNA against PAPD5 or GLD2, or of calibrator negative control siRNA. Gene expression levels were profiled in two of the PAPD5 knockdown replicates, two of the GLD2 knockdown replicates, and two of the negative control replicates.

Project description:BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that recognize sites of complementarity of target messenger RNAs, resulting in transcriptional regulation and translational repression of target genes. In Huntington’s disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion, miRNA dyregulation has been reported, which may impact gene expression and modify the progression and severity of HD. METHODS: We performed next-generation miRNA sequence analysis in prefrontal cortex (Brodmann Area 9) from 26 HD, 2 asymptomatic HD, and 36 control brains. Neuropathological information was available for all HD brains, including age at disease onset, CAG-repeat size, Vonsattel grade, and Hadzi-Vonsattel striatal and cortical scores, a continuous measure of the extent of neurodegeneration. Linear models were performed to examine the relationship of miRNA expression to these clinical features, and messenger RNA targets of associated miRNAs were tested for gene ontology term enrichment. RESULTS: We identified 75 miRNAs differentially expressed in HD brain (FDR q-value <0.05). Among the HD brains, nine miRNAs were significantly associated with Vonsattel grade of neuropathological involvement and three of these, miR-10b-5p, miR-10b-3p, and miR-302a-3p, significantly related to the Hadzi-Vonsattel striatal score (a continuous measure of striatal involvement) after adjustment for CAG length. Five miRNAs (miR-10b-5p, miR-196a-5p, miR-196b-5p, miR-10b-3p, and miR-106a-5p) were identified as having a significant relationship to CAG length-adjusted age of onset including miR-10b-5p, the mostly strongly over-expressed miRNA in HD cases. Although prefrontal cortex was the source of tissue profiled in these studies, the relationship of miR-10b-5p expression to striatal involvement in the disease was independent of cortical involvement. Correlation of miRNAs to the clinical features clustered by direction of effect and the gene targets of the observed miRNAs showed association to processes relating to nervous system development and transcriptional regulation. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that miRNA expression in cortical BA9 provides insight into striatal involvement and support a role for these miRNAs, particularly miR-10b-5p, in HD pathogenicity. The miRNAs identified in our studies of postmortem brain tissue may be detectable in peripheral fluids and thus warrant consideration as accessible biomarkers for disease stage, rate of progression, and other important clinical characteristics of HD. 26 Huntington's disease, 2 asymptomatic HD gene positive and 49 neurologically normal control prefrontal cortex samples

Project description:PAPD5 is one of the seven members of non-canonical poly(A) polymerases in human cells. There are previous reports about polyadenylation dependent degradation of pre-ribosomal RNAs and uridylation dependent degradation of histone mRNAs in vivo. In this study, we observed polyadenylation but not polyuridylation activity of PAPD5 with in vitro assays. We aimed to get genome-wide targets of PAPD5 and used PAR-CLIP and deep sequencing for this purpose. Recombinant version of PAPD5 is expressed in HEK293 human cell lines and its genome wide targets are obtained with PAR-CLIP and deep sequencing as two replicate experiments. The short reads in the deep sequencing libraries of PAPD5 replicates and an unrelated protein to polymerization from a previous study, IGF2BP1, are aligned to the hg18 human genome assembly. The biological variance of the read counts in overlapping 100-nucleotide-long-windows is estimated between the PAPD5 replicates and further used in the differential expression estimations between the 100-nucleotide windows in PAPD5 replicates and IGF2BP1. The top differentially expressed windows in PAPD5 and IGF2BP1 are further annotated using gene and repeat tracks from UCSC.

Project description:Here, we develop nascent RNAend-Seq, in which we isolate nascent RNA and sequence the 3' ends of RNA precursors. Using a pulse-chase experimental design, we follow extended precursors of the telomerase RNA component (hTR) and show that the mature telomerase RNA derives from these species with slow kinetics compared to other small non-coding RNAs. The human disease causing gene PARN further delays maturation of the hTR precursor in PARN- mutant cancer cell lines. Disruption of the poly(A)polymerase PAPD5 in PARN-mutant cells restores normal processing kinetics and levels of mature hTR. Unexpectedly, neither PARN nor PAPD5 is required for hTR processing. Instead, PAPD5 and PARN set the hTR maturation rate by controlling precursor adenylation.

Project description:Genetic lesions that reduce telomerase cause a range of incurable diseases including dyskeratosis congenita (DC) and pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and restoring telomere length in these patients would be curative. Ectopic expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) risks cellular immortalization, and how to target telomerase in stem cells throughout the body remains unclear. Here we describe a successful screen for small molecules that augment TERC, the non-coding telomerase RNA component, and thereby specifically elongate telomeres in stem cells. PAPD5 is a non-canonical polymerase that oligo-adenylates and destabilizes TERC. Using a high-throughput screen we identify BCH001, a specific PAPD5 inhibitor that decreases TERC 3′- oligo(A) tailing and increases telomerase activity and telomere length by thousands of nucleotides in DC patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). BCH001 does not result in immortalization or telomere elongation in somatic cells which lack TERT, establishing a favorable safety profile. When human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) engineered by CRISPR-Cas9 to carry PARN mutations that cause DC and PF are xenotransplanted into immunodeficient mice, oral treatment with PAPD5 inhibitors rescues TERC 3′-end maturation and telomere length. Our data demonstrate telomere restoration in human stem cells in vivo using small molecules.
