Project description:The proteomic profiling of nine commonly used HCC cell lines Hep3B, HepG2, HepG2.2.15, HUH7, PLC/PRF/5, MHCC97L,MHCC97H,HCCLM3 and HCCLM6
Project description:To reveal the HNRNPAB-regulated lncRNAs, we performed microarray analyses to screen differential lncRNAs in HCC cells after stable overexpression or knockdown of HNRNPAB. MHCC97H and HCCLM3 (HCC cell lines with high-metastatic potentials), PLC/PRF/5 and HepG2 (HCC cell lines with low-metastatic potentials) were used in this study. HepG2-control, HepG2-hnRNPAB, PLC/PRF/5-control, PLC/PRF/5-hnRNPAB, MHCC97H-control, MHCC97H-sh-hnRNPAB, HCCLM3-control, HCCLM3-sh-hnRNPAB were perpared with hU6-MCS-CBh-gcGFP-IRES-puromycin-shRNA-HNRNPAB/mock lentiviral and Ubi-MCS-SV40-EGFP-IRES-puromycin-HNRNPAB/mock cDNA lentiviral,respectively, each performed in triplicate.
Project description:It is known that exosomes (endosome derived vesicles) play important roles in the formation of the tumor microenvironment. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant cancer, whose malignancy is largely influenced by the tumor microenvironment. The possible role and the specific content of the HCC derived exosomes are however largely unknown. We performed super-SILAC-based mass spectrometry (MS) analyses to interrogate the differential proteins in the exosome of three human HCC cell lines, MHCC97H, MHCCLM3 and Hep3B cells. Exosomal proteins were systematically compared with multi-omics strategies, considering both proteomics and translatomics. With stringent data quality control (quantified unique peptides ≥ 2, FDR ≤ 0.01 at both protein and peptide level), 1907 exosomal proteins were confidently identified from the three HCC cell lines, out of which 469 and 443 exosomal proteins significantly altered in the highly malignant cell lines (MHCC97H/Hep3B and MHCCLM3/Hep3B), respectively. ClueGo and IPA analyses on the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) revealed that translation and ubiquitination biological processes pathways were significantly more encapsulated in the exosome of higher malignant cell lines. We further observed significantly negative correlation of exosomal protein to cellular protein and translating mRNA in terms of relative abundances comparing the higher malignant cell lines with the low malignant cell line. The negatively correlated genes are also translation regulation-centric. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the exosomal enrichment of translation regulatory proteins is related to the malignant level of HCC cells.
Project description:The Corynebacterium glutamicum R cgR_1959 gene encodes an endoribonuclease of the RNase III family. Deletion mutant of cgR_1959 (Îrnc mutant) showed an elongated cell shape, and presence of several lines on the cell surface, indicating a required of RNase III for maintaining normal cell morphology in C. glutamicum. The level of mraZ mRNA was increased, whereas cgR_1596 mRNA encoding a putative cell wall hydrolase and ftsEX mRNA were decreased in the Îrnc mutant. The half-life of mraZ mRNA was significantly prolonged in the Îrnc and the Îpnp mutant strains. This indicated that the degradation of mraZ mRNA was performed by RNase III and the 3â²-to-5â² exoribonuclease, PNPase. Northern hybridization and primer extension analysis revealed that the cleavage site for mraZ mRNA by RNase III is in the coding region. Overproduction of MraZ resulted in an elongated cell shape. The expression of ftsEX decreased while that of cgR_1596 unchanged in an MraZ-overexpressing strain. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay and a transcriptional reporter assay indicate that MraZ is a transcriptional repressor of ftsEX in C. glutamicum. These results indicate that RNase III is required for efficient expression of MraZ-dependent ftsEX and MraZ-independent cgR_1596. Gene expression profile of the wild type at the exponential phase was compared with that of the rnc mutant. Three indepent experiments were performed.
Project description:We compared standard human reference genome GRCh38 and de novo assembled reference genome HX1 in precision medicine applications for specific ethnics. In order to quantify the HX1 misassembled genes and HX1-specific contigs, we performed RNA-seq and RNC-seq on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (MHCC97H, MHCCLM3 and MHCCLM6) which were derived from Chinese Han individuals. In which, RNC-seq datasets of MHCC97H and MHCCLM3 had been published. We found that a considerable fraction of HX1 misassembled genes was expressed in the Chinese Han samples. Furthermore, we found no HX1-specific contigs yielded more than 2.27 FPKM (minimun FPKM of 1 copy/cell transcript) in the Chinese Han sampels.
Project description:In the process of translation, ribosomes first bind to mRNAs (translation initiation) and then move along the mRNA (elongation) to synthesize proteins. Elongation pausing is deemed highly relevant to co-translational folding of nascent peptides and the functionality of protein products, which positioned the evaluation of elongation speed as one of the central questions in the field of translational control. By employing three types of RNA-seq methods, we experimentally and computationally resolved elongation speed at individual gene level and under physiological condition in human cells. We proposed the elongation velocity index (EVI) as a relative measure and successfully distinguished slow-translating genes from the background translatome. The proteins encoded by the low-EVI genes are more stable than the proteome background. In normal cell and lung cancer cell comparisons, we found that the relatively slow-translating genes are relevant to the maintenance of malignant phenotypes. In addition, we identified cell-specific slow-translating codons, which may serve as a causal factor of elongation deceleration. We sequenced mRNA, translating mRNA (RNC-mRNA) and ribosome footprints in normally growing HeLa cells.
