Project description:Ars2 is a component of the nuclear cap-binding complex that is required for cellular proliferation and contributes to microRNA biogenesis. Arrays were performed to determine the repertoire of microRNAs that change following knock-down of Ars2. Knock-down of DGCR8 was also performed to determine which microRNAs were expressed and had half-lives short enough to significantly decrease over the duration of the experiment. 9 samples were analyzed including: three biological replicates of control siRNA-transfected HeLa cells, HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting Ars2, or HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting DGCR8.

Project description:To determine whether DGCR8 is required for maturation of all miRNAs, we performed miRNA microarray analysis. Using RNA from wild-type ES cells as our reference sample, we observed a global loss of miRNAs in DGCR8 knockout cells, but normal levels of expression in DGCR8 heterozygous cells. The similarity in expression levels between wild-type and heterozygous cells suggests that DGCR8 is not limiting in the maintenance of steady-state levels of miRNAs in ES cells. Of the eighty-nine miRNA array probes that showed significant signals with wild-type RNA, eighty-two were drastically reduced in the DGCR8 knockout cells. The remaining seven were not significantly altered in the DGCR8 knockout cells, but at least four of these seven miRNAs appear to be due to unavoidable contamination with RNA from the mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells used for ES cell culture prior to the isolation of RNA. These miRNAs were highly expressed in the MEFs and decreased when the ES cells were temporarily passaged on gelatin-coated plates without feeders. The remaining three showed similar levels of expression in the heterozygous, knockout and MEF feeder cells. Therefore, these signals may be small RNAs that are not processed with the help of the microprocessor complex. Alternatively, these signals may result from unavoidable degradation products within the purified small RNA population. In either case, our results show that DGCR8 is broadly required for miRNA processing with little evidence for redundancy or bypass mechanisms. Keywords: cell type comparison, genetic modification MicroRNAs extracted from wild-type, DGCR8 heterozygous knockout and DGCR8 homozygous knockout were analyzed by microarray. In each array, wild-type samples serve as reference. Ratios were normalized based on positive control RNAs on the array. To determine if some of signals appeared in DGCR8 knockout ES cells are due to mice embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cell contamination (this is unavoidable because these ES cells were grown on MEFs and passaged off MEF before RNA extraction). Two independent DGCR8 knockout ES cell lines were analyzed. For each cell line, array hybridization was done in duplicates. For DGCR8 heterozygous knockout ES cells, two independent batches of RNA samples were prepared and analyzed.

Project description:DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) is a critical component of the canonical microprocessor complex for microRNA biogenesis. However, the non-canonical functions of DGCR8 have not been studied. Here, we demonstrate that DGCR8 plays an important role in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating aging. An N-terminal-truncated version of DGCR8 (DR8dex2) accelerated senescence in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) independent of its miRNA-processing activity, which is mediated by its C-terminal domains. Further studies revealed that DGCR8 maintained heterochromatin organization by interacting with the nuclear envelope protein Lamin B1, and heterochromatin-associated proteins, KAP1 and HP1 Overexpression of any of these proteins, including DGCR8, reversed premature senescent phenotypes in DR8dex2 hMSCs. Finally, DGCR8 was downregulated in pathologically and naturally aged hMSCs, whereas DGCR8 overexpression alleviated hMSC aging and osteoarthritis in mice. Taken together, these analyses uncovered a novel, miRNA processing-independent role for DGCR8 in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating senescence. DGCR8 may therefore represent a new therapeutic target for alleviating human aging-related disorders.

Project description:Neural development is tightly controlled at multiple levels to orchestrate appropriate choices of cell fate and differentiation. While more attention has been paid to the roles of neural-restricted factors, broadly-expressed factors can have compelling impacts on tissue-specific development. Here, we describe in vivo genetic analysis of Ars2, which has mostly been studied as a general RNA processing factor in yeast and cultured cells. Ars2 protein exhibits a dynamic expression pattern during neural lineage progression, and conditional knockout analyses demonstrated that Ars2 is required for proliferation of embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs). In addition, Ars2 null neural stem cells can still transition into post-mitotic neurons, but fail to undergo terminal differentiation. Ars2 is similarly required for neurogenesis in the adult brain. We next generated Ars2 ChIP-seq data to broaden evidence for a distinct role for Ars2 as a transcriptional regulator in neural development. Notably, Ars2 preferentially occupies DNA enhancers in NSCs, and broadly colocalizes with the NSC regulator SOX2, but exhibits markedly reduced association with chromatin following differentiation. Finally, we demonstrate a continuous requirement for Ars2 during adult neurogenesis, since adult-specific deletion of Ars2 compromises hippocampal neurogenesis and results in specific behavioral defects. Together, we provide evidence for Ars2 as an essential neural regulator that interacts dynamically with DNA and controls neural lineage development.

Project description:Termination of transcription is important for establishing gene punctuation marks. It is also critical for suppressing many of the pervasive transcription events occurring throughout eukaryotic genomes and coupling their RNA products to efficient decay. In human cells, the ARS2 protein has been implicated in such function as its depletion causes transcriptional read-through of selected gene terminators and because it physically interacts with the ribonucleolytic nuclear RNA exosome. Here, we study the role of ARS2 on transcription and RNA metabolism genome-wide. We show that ARS2 depletion negatively impacts levels of promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) at protein-coding (pc) genes, Moreover, our results reveal a general role of ARS2 in transcription termination-coupled RNA turnover at short transcription units like snRNA-, replication dependent histone (RDH)-, promoter upstream transcript (PROMPT)- and enhancer RNA (eRNA)-loci. Depletion of the ARS2 interaction partner ZC3H18 mimics the ARS2 depletion, although to a milder extent, whereas depletion of the exosome core subunit RRP40 selectively impacts RNA abundance post-transcriptionally. Interestingly, ARS2 is also involved in transcription termination events within first introns of pc genes. Our work therefore establishes ARS2 as a general suppressor of pervasive transcription with the potential to regulate protein-coding gene expression.
