Specific expression of microRNAs and snoRNAs characterize ERG-related B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia [mRNA]

ABSTRACT: ERG-related B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL) is a recently described childhood ALL subtype characterized by aberrant ERG protein expression and highly recurrent ERG intragenic deletions. Several studies reported a remarkably favourable outcome for ERG-related BCP-ALL despite a high incidence of apparently inauspicious IKZF1 aberrations. In this study we investigated by integrative genomic analysis the main features of the ERG-related group in a cohort of B-others BCP ALL patients enrolled in the AIEOP ALL 2000 therapeutic protocol. We report a specific microRNA and snoRNA signature that characterizes ERG-related patients with up-regulation of the miR-125b-2 cluster on chromosome 21 and several snoRNAs in the Prader-Willi locus at 15q11.2, including the orphan SNORD116 cluster. Given the current lack of parameters for a comprehensive classification we suggest toexploit the noncoding RNAs signature for differential diagnosis of ERG-related patients.

Project description:Introduction: A microdeletion including the SNORD116 gene (SNORD116 MD) has been shown to drive the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) phenotype. PWS is a neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from hypothalamic dysfunction implicating oxytocin (OXT) circuits. It is clinically characterized by early severe obesity, endocrine impairment, intellectual disability and psychiatric symptoms such as a lack of emotional regulation, impulsivity, and intense temper tantrums with outbursts. In addition, this syndrome is associated with a nutritional trajectory characterized by addiction-like behavior around food in adulthood. PWS is related to the genetic loss of expression of a minimal region of chromosome 15 encompassing the SNORD116 gene, encoding for a long noncoding RNA that plays a potential role in epigenetic regulation. Nevertheless, the role of the SNORD116 MD in DNA methylation, as well as the impact of OXT on it, have never been investigated in human neurons. Methods: We studied the methylation marks in dopaminergic neurons issued from induced pluripotent stem neuronsscells (iPSC) carrying a SNORD116 MD in comparison with those from an age-matched adult healthy control. We also performed identical neurons differentiation in the presence of OXT. We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis from iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons by reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing. In addition, we performed RNA sequencing analysis in the iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons differentiated with or without OXT. Results: The analysis revealed that among the differentially methylated genes, we determined a list of gene also differentially expressed. Enrichment analysis of this list encompassed dopaminergic system with COMT and SLC6A3.RT-qPCR attested significant over expression of SLC6A3 in SNORD116 MD neuronss. Moreover, the expression of this gene was significantly decreased in case of OXT adjunction during the differentiation. . Conclusion: SNORD116 MD dopaminergic neurons display differential methylation and expression in genes related to dopaminergic clearance .

Project description:ncRNA expression, including snoRNAs, across 11 tissues using polyA-neutral amplification Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are an essential class of molecular species that have been difficult to monitor on high throughput platforms due to frequent lack of polyadenylation. Using a polyadenylation-neutral amplification protocol and next-generation sequencing, we explore ncRNA expression in eleven human tissues. ncRNAs 7SL, U2, 7SK, and HBII-52 are expressed at levels far exceeding mRNAs. C/D and H/ACA box snoRNAs are associated with rRNA methylation and pseudouridylation, respectively: spleen expresses both, hypothalamus expresses mainly C/D box snoRNAs, and testes show enriched expression of both H/ACA box snoRNAs and RNA telomerase TERC. Within the snoRNA 14q cluster, 14q(I-6) is expressed at much higher levels than other cluster members. More reads align to mitochondrial than nuclear tRNAs. Many lincRNAs are actively transcribed, particularly those overlapping known ncRNAs. Within the Prader-Willi syndrome loci, the snoRNA HBII-85 (group I) cluster is highly expressed in hypothalamus, greater than in other tissues and greater than group II or III. Additionally, within the disease locus we find novel transcription across a 400,000 nt span in ovaries. This genome-wide polyA-neutral expression compendium demonstrates the richness of ncRNA expression, their high expression patterns, their function-specific expression patterns, and is publicly available.
