Transcriptional override: a regulatory network model of indirect responses to modulations in microRNA expression (miRNA)

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs are small non-coding molecules that have been shown to repress the translation of thousands of genes. Changes in microRNA expression in a variety of diseases, including cancer, are leading to the development of microRNAs as early indicators of disease, and to their potential use as therapeutic agents. A significant hurdle to the use of microRNAs as therapeutics is our inability to predict the molecular and cellular consequences of perturbations in the levels of specific microRNAs on targeted cells. While the direct gene (mRNA) targets of individual microRNAs can be computationally predicted and are often experimentally validated, assessing the indirect effects of microRNA variation remains a major challenge in molecular systems biology. We present experimental evidence for a computational model that quantifies the extent to which down-regulated transcriptional repressors contribute to the unanticipated upregulation of putative microRNA targets. An appreciation of the effects of these repressors may provide a more complete understanding of the indirect effects of microRNA dysregulation in diseases such as cancer, and to their successful clinical application. This is a re-analysis of GSE23383, as described below in “overall design”.

Present/absent calls were generated using MAS5, while signals were calculated using GCRMA. All signals were then log2 normalized. Expression was compared between miRanda-mirSVR predicted target genes of upregulated microRNAs, non-predicted target genes, and genes putatively targeted by down-regulated transcriptional repressors.

Transcriptional override: a regulatory network model of indirect responses to modulations in microRNA expression.

Project description:BackgroundDocumented changes in levels of microRNAs (miRNA) in a variety of diseases including cancer are leading to their development as early indicators of disease, and as a potential new class of therapeutic agents. A significant hurdle to the rational application of miRNAs as therapeutics is our current inability to reliably predict the range of molecular and cellular consequences of perturbations in the levels of specific miRNAs on targeted cells. While the direct gene (mRNA) targets of individual miRNAs can be computationally predicted with reasonable degrees of accuracy, reliable predictions of the indirect molecular effects of perturbations in miRNA levels remain a major challenge in molecular systems biology.ResultsChanges in gene (mRNA) and miRNA expression levels between normal precursor and ovarian cancer cells isolated from patient tissue samples were measured by microarray. Expression of 31 miRNAs was significantly elevated in the cancer samples. Consistent with previous reports, the expected decrease in expression of the mRNA targets of upregulated miRNAs was observed in only 20-30% of the cancer samples. We present and provide experimental support for a network model (The Transcriptional Override Model; TOM) to account for the unexpected regulatory consequences of modulations in the expression of miRNAs on expression levels of their target mRNAs in ovarian cancer.ConclusionsThe direct and indirect regulatory effects of changes in miRNA expression levels in vivo are interactive and complex but amenable to systems level modeling. Although TOM has been developed and validated within the context of ovarian cancer, it may be applicable in other biological contexts as well, including of potential future use in the rational design of miRNA-based strategies for the treatment of cancers and other diseases.

Proteomics of U1810 cells upon treatment with microRNAs with an AAGUGC seed motif.

Project description:microRNA dysregulation is a common feature of cancer cells, but the complex roles of microRNAs in cancer are not fully elucidated. Here we used functional genomics to identify oncogenic microRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer and to evaluate their impact on response to EGFR targeting therapy. Our data demonstrate that microRNAs with an AAGUGC-motif in their seed-sequence increase both cancer cell proliferation and sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors. Global transcriptomics, proteomics and target prediction resulted in the identification of several tumor suppressors involved in the G1/S transition as targets of AAGUGC-microRNAs. The clinical implications of our findings were evaluated by analysis of public domain data supporting the link between this microRNA seed-family, their tumor suppressor targets and cancer cell proliferation. In conclusion we propose that AAGUGC-microRNAs are an integral part of an oncogenic signaling network, and that these findings have potential therapeutic implications, especially in selecting patients for EGFR-targeting therapy.

Systematic analysis of intronic microRNAs reveals cooperativity within the multi-component FTX locus to promote colon cancer development

Project description:Approximately half of all microRNAs reside within intronic regions and are often co-transcribed with their host genes. However, most studies on intronic microRNAs focus on individual microRNAs, and conversely most studies on protein-coding and non-coding genes frequently ignore any intron-derived microRNAs. We hypothesize that the individual components of such multi-genic loci may play cooperative or competing roles in driving disease progression, and that examining the combinatorial effect of these components would uncover deeper insights into their functional importance. To address this, we perform systematic analyses of intronic microRNA:host loci in colon cancer. We observe that the FTX locus, comprising of a long non-coding RNA FTX and multiple intronic microRNAs, is highly upregulated in cancer and demonstrate that cooperativity within this multi-component locus promotes cancer growth. In addition, we show that FTX interacts with DHX9 and DICER and delineate its novel roles in regulating A-to-I RNA editing and microRNA expression. These results show for the first time that a long non-coding RNA can regulate A-to-I RNA editing, further expanding the functional repertoire of long non-coding RNAs. We further demonstrate the inhibitory effects of intronic miR-374b and -545 on the tumor suppressors PTEN and RIG-I to enhance the proto-oncogenic PI3K-AKT signaling. Finally, we show that intronic miR-421 may exert an autoregulatory effect on miR-374b and -545. Taken together, our data unveil the intricate interplay between intronic microRNAs and their host transcripts in the modulation of key signaling pathways and disease progression, adding new perspectives to the functional landscape of multi-genic loci.
