Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to characterize the role of hnRNP C in translation regulation of a specific set of mRNAs during mitosis. Methods: mitotic HeLa S3 cells expressing a Dox-inducible shRNA against hnRNP C were used and profiles of total mRNAs and ribosome footprints (RFs) of either untreated (wild type) cells or hnRNP C-knockdown cells were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were aligned to a reference set of human curated protein‐coding transcripts (plus the five human rRNA transcripts) using bowtie2. Expression estimates were further normalized using quantile normalization. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: RNA‐seq and Ribo/RF‐seq datasets were combined according to gene ID. Only genes with expression level of at least 1.0 RPKM in both datasets were included in subsequent analyses. The combined dataset includes 10,996 genes. Transcripts encoding components of the translation machinery (Gene Ontology Biological Process [GOBP] “Translation” annotation) show reduced ribosome occupancy during mitosis under hnRNP C knockdown (p-value = 1.07 x 10-13) although their total mRNA levels are increased (p-value = 1.78 x 10-5). Translation efficiency (TE) calculations of ribosome occupancy per mRNA level showed a statistically-significant reduction for mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins (Gene Ontology Cellular Compartment [GOCC] “Ribosome” annotation; p-value = 9.92 x 10-12). In particular, the TE of 5’ TOP-containing mRNAs was found to be significantly reduced under hnRNP C knockdown (p-value = 5.16 x 10-4). Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the translation effeciency of mRNAs in wild type and hnRNP C knockdown HeLa S3 cells during mitosis using RNA-Seq and Ribo-Seq. Our results show that the translation of a specific subset of mRNAs (5' TOP mRNAs) is regulated by hnRNP C in mitosis.

Project description:hnRNP UL1 plays an important function in cell nuclei, where it is recruited to DNA damage sites and is involved in the repair of DNA double strand breaks. Furthermore, this protein is known as a transcriptional repressor of RNA polymerase II genes. In the present study, we have shown that hnRNP UL1 is also localized in the nucleoli. Revealing its function, we figured out that hnRNP UL1 stimulates rDNA gene transcription and may be involved in the transport of the proteins between the nucleolus and the nucleoplasm. Moreover, we observed that cells with hnRNP UL1 silencing are more sensitive to DNA damage, suggesting its role in rDNA repair pathways and nucleolar genome integrity. Indeed, we confirmed that hnRNP UL1 interacts with yH2A.X, RPA32, XRCC1, and Chk1 in cell nucleoli, suggesting its involvement in repairing of DNA damages.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are prevalent genes with frequently exquisite regulation but mostly unknown functions. Here we demonstrate a role of lncRNAs in guiding signal transduction. DNA damage activates transcription of DINO (Damage Induced NOncoding) via p53. DINO knockdown blocks DNA damage-induced gene expression and cell cycle arrest. Conversely, enforced expression of DINO activates damage signaling without DNA damage. DINO binds p53 and selectively promotes SET7 methylation of p53 at lysine 372 over other substrates, which stabilizes p53 in an auto-amplification loop. Our results suggest that inducible lncRNA can achieve catalysis-like effects to rewire cellular signaling networks. RNA was isolated from human fetal lung fibroblasts, HCT116 p53+/+, or HCT116 p53-/- cells treated with doxorubicin or sham for 26 hours. Human fetal lung fibroblasts were transfected with siRNAs targeting DINO or non-targeting control and subsequently treated with doxorubicin for 26 hours.

Project description:Neurons critically rely on the functions of RNA-binding proteins to maintain their polarity and resistance to neurotoxic stresses. HnRNP R has a diverse range of post-transcriptional regulatory functions and is important for neuronal development by regulating axon growth. Hnrnpr pre-mRNA undergoes alternative splicing to produce transcripts encoding two isoforms: a full-length protein and a shorter form lacking the N-terminal acidic domain. While the neuronal defects produced by total hnRNP R depletion have been investigated before, the individual functions of each hnRNP R isoforms are unknown. We generated a Hnrnpr knockout mouse (Hnrnprtm1a/tm1a) showing selective loss of the full-length hnRNP R isoform. Motoneurons cultured from Hnrnprtm1a/tm1a mice did not show any axonal growth defects. However, they show an accumulation of double-strand breaks and an impaired DNA damage response. Proteomic analysis of the hnRNP R interactome revealed the multifunctional protein Yb1 as a top interactor. Yb1 depleted motoneurons also exhibit defects in DNA damage repair. We show that Yb1 is recruited to chromatin upon DNA damage, a mechanism that is dependent on full-length hnRNP R. Our findings thus suggest a novel role of hnRNP R in maintaining genomic integrity and highlight the function of its Nterminal acidic domain in this context.

Project description:In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, cancer cells generally exhibit increased cell proliferation due to mutations and aberrant expressions of key regulatory genes. The current study determines the cytotoxic effects of β-caryophyllene (BCP) alone or in combination with doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (DDP) on HCC cells and also elucidates the underlying mechanism of BCP to exert its anticancer activities. HepG2, SMMC-7721 HCC cells, and HL-7702 normal liver cells were treated with BCP, DOX, and DDP individually or in their combinations. Cell proliferation assay, flow cytometric assay, and Western blot analysis were used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of these treatments. Transwell assays were used to examine the effects of BCP on migration and invasion of HCC cells. RNA-seq studies were used to determine the primary target genes of BCP-treated HepG2 cells. Integrative analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of RNA-seq data with a TCGA dataset of HCC patients identified BCP-targeted genes that were verified by RT-qPCR. Ectopic gene expression, cell viability, and colony formation assay were performed to validate the primary targets of BCP. The results found that, BCP selectively inhibited HCC cell proliferation while exhibited relatively low toxicity to normal liver cells; however, DOX and DDP showed higher toxicity in normal cells than that in HCC cells. Importantly, in combinatorial treatments, BCP synergistically enhanced cytotoxicity of DOX and DDP in HCC cells but this effect is markedly reduced in HL-7702 cells. BCP-treated HCC cells exhibited decreased migration and invasion ability versus the control. Furthermore, RNA-seq analyses of BCP-treated HepG2 cells identified 433 protein-coding DEGs with over 1.5-fold change. Integrative analyses revealed five BCP-targeted DEGs regulating the MAPK signaling pathway. Among these five genes, three displayed a significantly positive correlation of their expression with the overall survival of HCC patients. As a primary target, PGF was significantly downregulated by BCP treatment, and its exogenous expression desensitized HCC cells to the inhibition of BCP treatment. In summary, BCP inhibits malignant properties of HCC and synergistically sensitizes the anticancer activity of DOX and DDP. In HCC cells, BCP primarily targets PGF and MAPK signaling pathway.

Project description:Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy with critical roles in several cancers. Lysosomal autophagy promotes cancer survival through degradation of toxic molecules and maintenance of adequate nutrient supply. Doxorubicin (DOX) is the standard of care treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, chemoresistance at lower doses and toxicity at higher doses limit its usefulness. By targeting pathways of survival, DOX can become an effective antitumor agent. In this study, we examined the role of TFEB in TNBC and its relationship with autophagy and DNA damage induced by DOX. In TNBC cells, TFEB was hypo-phosphorylated and localized to the nucleus upon DOX treatment. TFEB knockdown decreased the viability of TNBC cells while increasing caspase-3 dependent apoptosis. Additionally, inhibition of TFEB-phosphatase calcineurin sensitized cells to DOX-induced apoptosis in a TFEB dependent fashion. Regulation of apoptosis by TFEB was not a consequence of altered lysosomal function, as TFEB continued to protect against apoptosis in the presence of lysosomal inhibitors. RNA-Seq analysis of TFEB knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells identified a significant downregulation in cell cycle and homologous recombination while genes involved in interferon-γ and TNFα signaling were upregulated. In consequence, knockdown of TFEB was found to disrupt DNA repair following DOX, as evidenced by persistent γH2A.X detection. Together, these findings describe in TNBC a novel lysosomal independent function for TFEB in responding to DNA damage.
