Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in cancer progression. In this study, the lncRNA profiling were analyzed in chemoresistant and sensitive breast cancer cells. We found a group of dysregulated lncRNAs in chemoresistant cells. Expression of dysregulated lncRNAs are correlated with dysregulated mRNAs, and enriched in GO and KEGG pathways related with cancer progression and chemoresistance development. Within those lncRNA-mRNA interactions, some lncRNAs may cis-regulate neighboring protein coding genes and involved in chemoresistance. The lncRNA NONHSAT028712 was then validated to regulate nearby CDK2 and interfere with cell cycle and chemoresistance. Furthermore, we identified another group of lncRNAs trans-regulated gene expression via interacting with different transcription factors (TF). Whereby NONHSAT057282 and NONHSAG023333 was found to modulate chemoresistance and most likely interacted with ELF1 and E2F1 respectively. In conclusion, this study reported for the first time the lncRNA expression patterns in chemoresistant breast cancer cells, and provided a group of novel lncRNA targets in mediating chemoresistance development in both cis- and trans- action mode.

Project description:The genome is pervasively transcribed to produce a vast array of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts of > 200 nucleotides and are best known for their ability to regulate gene expression. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) are subclass of lncRNAs that are synthesized from enhancer regions and have also been shown to coordinate gene expression. The biological function and significance of most lncRNAs and eRNAs remain to be determined. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a ubiquitous cellular process that occurs during cellular migration, homeostasis, fibrosis, and cancer-cell metastasis. EMT-transcription factors, such as SNAI1 induce a complex transcriptional program that coordinates the morphological and molecular changes associated with EMT. Such complex transcriptional programs are often subject to coordination by networks of ncRNAs and thus can be leveraged to identify novel functional ncRNA loci. Here, using a genome-wide CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) screen targeting ~10,000 lncRNA loci we identified ncRNA loci that could either promote or attenuate EMT. We discovered a novel locus that we named SCREEM (SNAI1 cis-regulatory eRNAs expressed in monocytes). The SCREEM locus contained a cluster of eRNAs that when activated using CRISPRa induced expression of the neighboring gene SNAI1, driving concomitant EMT. However, the SCREEM eRNA transcripts themselves appeared dispensable for the induction of SNAI1 expression. Interestingly, the SCREEM eRNAs and SNAI1 were co-expressed in activated monocytes, where the SCREEM locus demarcated a monocyte-specific super-enhancer. These findings suggest an unexpected role for SNAI1 in monocytes. Exploration of the SCREEM-SNAI axis could reveal novel aspects of monocyte biology.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as non-protein-coding transcripts that are at least 200 nucleotides long. They are known to play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression, especially during stress responses in plants. We used a large collection of in-house transcriptome data from various soybean (Glycine max and Glycine soja) tissues treated under different conditions to perform a comprehensive identification of soybean lncRNAs. We also retrieved publicly available soybean transcriptome data that were of sufficient quality and sequencing depth to enrich our analysis. In total, RNA-seq data of 332 samples were used for this analysis. An integrated reference-based, de novo transcript assembly was developed that identified ~69,000 lncRNA gene loci. We showed that lncRNAs are distinct from both protein-coding transcripts and genomic background noise in terms of length, number of exons, transposable element composition, and sequence conservation level across legume species. The tissue-specific and time-specific transcriptional responses of the lncRNA genes under some stress conditions may suggest their biological relevance. The transcription start sites of lncRNA gene loci tend to be close to their nearest protein-coding genes, and they may be transcriptionally related to the protein-coding genes, particularly for antisense and intronic lncRNAs. A previously unreported subset of small peptide-coding transcripts was identified from these lncRNA loci via tandem mass spectrometry, which paved the way for investigating their functional roles. Our results also highlight the current inadequacy of the bioinformatic definition of lncRNA, which excludes those lncRNA gene loci with small open reading frames (ORFs) from being regarded as protein-coding.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex multi-factorial inflammatory disease with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) being the two most common forms. A number of transcriptional profiling studies have provided compelling evidence that describe the role of protein-coding genes and microRNAs in modulating the immune responses in IBD. In the present study, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome profiling of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes in inflamed and non-inflamed colon pinch biopsies from the IBD patients using expression microarrays platform. In this study, we identified widespread dysregulation of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes in both inflamed and non-inflamed CD and UC compared to the healthy controls. In case of inflamed CD and UC (iCD and iUC), we identified 438 and 745 differentially expressed lncRNAs, respectively, while in case of the non-inflamed CD and UC (niCD and niUC), we identified 12 and 19 differentially expressed lncRNAs, respectively. We also observed significant enrichment (p-value < 0.001, Pearson’s Chi-squared test) for 96 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 154 protein-coding genes within the IBD susceptibility loci. Furthermore, we found strong positive expression correlations for the intersecting and cis-neighboring differentially expressed IBD loci-associated lncRNA-protein-coding gene pairs. The functional annotation analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that they are involved in immune response, pro-inflammatory cytokine activity and MHC protein complex. The lncRNA expression profiling in both inflamed and non-inflamed CD and UC, successfully stratified IBD patients from the healthy controls. Taken together, the identified lncRNA transcriptional signature along with clinically relevant parameters suggests their potential as biomarkers in IBD. A total of 96 biopsy samples (including 6 samples used as technical replicates) extracted from different colonic locations from 45 patients (CD=13, UC=20, Controls=12) were profiled using Agilent Custom 8x60K format lncRNA expression microarray. In Gencode v15 lncRNA microarray design, each lncRNA transcript is targeted by two probes covering 22,001 lncRNA transcripts corresponding to 12,963 lncRNA genes. In addition, each array contains 17,535 randomly-selected protein-coding targets, of which 15,182 (unique 12,787) correspond to protein-coding genes.

Project description:Genomes pervasively produce long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) of largely unknown functions. Some of these lncRNAs have been implicated in roles related to ageing and associated diseases. Here we characterize aal1 (ageing-associated lncRNA 1) which is induced in non-dividing, ageing cells of fission yeast. Deletion of aal1 shortens the chronological lifespan of non-dividing cells, while ectopic overexpression of aal1 from a plasmid prolongs their lifespan, indicating that this lncRNA acts in trans. We find that aal1 genetically interacts with coding genes functioning in processes related to protein translation, and aal1 overexpression leads to repression of ribosomal protein genes and inhibition of cell growth. The aal1 RNA localizes to the cytoplasm and associates with ribosomes. Notably, aal1 deletion or overexpression is sufficient to increase or decrease the cellular ribosome content, respectively. We identify the mRNA rpl1901, encoding a ribosomal protein, as a binding target of aal1. The expression of rpl1901 is moderately repressed by aal1, and such moderate repression is critical and sufficient to extend the chronological lifespan. Remarkably, expression of the yeast aal1 lncRNA in the fly gut triggers a significant extension of the lifespan in flies. Based on these findings, we propose that the aal1 RNA can reduce the ribosome content by decreasing the levels of the Rpl1901 ribosomal protein, thus attenuating protein translation and promoting longevity. Although the aal1 lncRNA itself is not conserved, its effects in the fly raise the possibility that other organisms feature related mechanisms involving conserved ribosome-associated processes to control ageing.

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is genetically heterogeneous and can be classified into genetic subclasses based on protein coding gene expression profiles. Thus far, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), representing one of the largest fractions of the human transcriptome, remained unexplored as genetics markers for distinct T-ALL subtypes. Therefore, we here determined, for the first time, lncRNA expression profiles in lymphoblasts of 64 T-ALL patients and identified a robust set of lncRNAs that discriminate previously established genetic subtypes of human T-ALL. Half of these lncRNAs were positively correlated with the expression levels of neighboring protein coding genes located in their immediate vicinity, hinting towards cis-regulatory functions. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis showed that these lncRNA signatures were also recapitulated in human T-ALL cell lines representative for the different genetic subclasses, suggesting that these tumor lines could serve as valuable in vitro cellular model systems for further functional lncRNA studies. Finally, comparison of T-ALL lncRNA signatures with those from stage-specific normal developing human thymocytes revealed multiple ectopically expressed, putative oncogenic lncRNAs. Our data identify lncRNAs novel genetic markers in T-ALL biology and warrant further in depth investigations towards landscaping of their specific role in thymopoiesis and leukemogenesis.

Project description:lncRNAs play important roles in various physiological and pathological processes. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms by which lncRNAs act are still incomplete. Here, we functionally characterized the nuclear-enriched lncRNA SNHG1 which is highly expressed in several types of cancer relative to surrounding normal tissues. SNHG1 was regulated by oncogenic factor c-Myc and could promote tumor growth. We found that SNHG1 was involved in the Akt signaling pathway through promoting the neighboring transcription of protein-coding gene SLC3A2 in cis, by binding to the Mediator complex to facilitate enhancer-promoter interaction. Transcriptome analysis further revealed that several stress response genes, as well as signaling pathways, were regulated by SNHG1. Importantly, SNHG1 coordinated the expression of ATF3 through preventing FUBP1 from binding to its upstream regulatory region. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that lncRNA SNHG1 can function both in cis and in trans with distinct mechanisms to promote tumorigenesis and progression. Even, Odd probes targeting SNHG1 sequence, and control probes targeting LacZ. Probes was coupled with biotin, the captured DNA was prepared for library then sequencing.
