Project description:Alternative RNA 3’-end processing provides an important source of transcriptome diversification, which impacts various biological processes and the etiology of diseases, including cancer. A prime example of this is the transcript isoform switch that leads to the read-through expression of the long non-coding RNA NEAT1_2, at the expense of the shorter polyadenylated transcript NEAT1_1. Expression of NEAT1_2 is required for the formation of paraspeckles (PS), nuclear bodies that protect cancer cells from oncogene-induced replication stress and chemotherapy. Searching for proteins that modulate this isoform switching event we identified factors involved in the 3’-end processing of polyadenylated (pA+) RNA as well as several components of the Integrator complex. Perturbation experiments established that, by promoting the cleavage of NEAT1_2, Integrator forces NEAT1_2 to NEAT1_1 isoform switching and, thereby, restrains PS assembly. Consistently, low expression levels of several Integrator subunits correlated with poorer prognosis of cancer patients exposed to chemotherapeutics. Our study identifies Integrator as a key regulator of PS biogenesis and establish a link between Integrator, cancer biology and chemosensitivity, which may be exploited therapeutically.

Project description:Alternative 3’-end RNA processing provides an important source of transcriptome diversification, which impacts various biological processes and the etiology of diseases, including cancer. Here, we focused on a transcript isoform switch that leads to the readthrough expression of the long noncoding RNA NEAT1_2, at the expense of the shorter polyadenylated transcript NEAT1_1. Expression of NEAT1_2 is required for the formation of paraspeckles (PS), nuclear bodies that protect cancer cells from oncogene-induced replication stress and chemotherapy. Searching for proteins that interact with endogenous NEAT1 by RNA Affinity Purification coupled to mass spectrometry (RAP-MS), we identified factors involved in the 3’-end processing of polyadenylated (pA+) RNA as well as several components of the Integrator complex, known to process the 3’-ends of RNAs lacking polyadenylation sites. Unexpectedly, genetic perturbation experiments established that Integrator restraints NEAT1_2 expression, and thereby PS assembly, by promoting the 3’-end processing of pA+ NEAT1_1. Consistently, low expression levels of several Integrator subunits correlated with poorer prognosis of cancer patients exposed to chemotherapeutics. Our study identifies Integrator as a key regulator of PS biogenesis and highlights a previously unrecognized ability of the complex to process pA+ RNA. The data also establish a link between Integrator, cancer biology and chemosensitivity, which may be exploited therapeutically.

Project description:Although thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are localized in the nucleus, only a few dozen have been functionally characterized. We found that nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1), an essential lncRNA for the formation of nuclear body paraspeckles, is induced by poly I:C stimulation, resulting in excess formation of paraspeckles. Using microarray analysis, we investigated whether NEAT1 induction followed by excess formation of paraspeckles was involved in poly I:C-inducible gene expression. We want to know the NEAT1-regulated genes. To the end, HeLa TO cells with and without poly I:C stimulation and NEAT1-knock down cells with and without poly I:C stimulation and cells transfected with mock plasmid or Neat1v2 expression plasmid alone were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of chromatin; however, the mechanistic roles for many lncRNAs are poorly understood in part because their direct interactions with genomic loci and proteins are difficult to assess. We used CHART-seq to map the genomic binding sites for two highly expressed human lncRNAs, NEAT1 and MALAT1, which localize within the nucleus to paraspeckles and nuclear speckles, respectively. We show that NEAT1 and MALAT1 localize to hundreds of genomic sites in human cells, primarily over active genes. NEAT1 and MALAT1 exhibit colocalization to many of these loci, but display distinct gene body binding patterns at these sites, suggesting independent but complementary functions for these RNAs. Protein mass spectrometry analysis of CHART-enriched material (CHART-MS) identified numerous proteins enriched by both lncRNAs, supporting complementary binding and function, in addition to unique associated proteins. Transcriptional inhibition or stimulation affects the localization of NEAT1 to active chromatin sites, implying that DNA sequence itself does not target NEAT1 to chromatin and that localization responds to cues involved in the transcription process. Paired-end CHART-seq was performed for a single replicate of each capture oligonucleotide in untreated MCF-7 cells to establish binding sites of these RNAs, for a total of 6 samples. To investigate the effects of transcriptional inhibition and E2 stimulation on the localization of these RNAs, we performed paired-end CHART-seq with each capture oligonucleotide for two biological replicates of flavopiridol- and vehicle (DMSO)-treated MCF-7 cells and for two biological replicates of E2- and vehicle (ethanol)-treated MCF-7 cells. To establish the overlap of NEAT1 and MALAT1 binding sites with a known component of paraspeckles (NEAT1-containing subnuclear body), we performed paired-end ChIP-seq for the paraspeckle component PSF in MCF-7 cells, as well as a single-end biological replicate.

Project description:p53 is a transcriptional activator that induces myriad target genes. However, those p53-inducible genes most critical for tumor suppression remain elusive. Here, we identify Neat1, a ncRNA constituent of paraspeckles, as a p53 target gene induced by mouse and human p53 in different cell types and by diverse stress signals. Using fibroblasts derived from Neat1-/- mice, we examine the functional role of Neat1 in the p53 pathway. We find that Neat1 is dispensable for cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress, but plays a crucial role in suppressing transformation in response to oncogenic signals. To determine the effects of Neat1 deficiency on cells, we used E1A;HRasV12-expressing wild-type and Neat1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) for RNA-sequencing analysis. This analysis revealed that Neat1 deficiency impacts the regulatory networks involved in nervous system development and axon guidance programs, as well as genes of the SWI/SNF complex and components of the pancreas development network. These findings suggest that the ability of Neat1 to globally regulate gene expression, with effects on diverse transcriptional programs, provides a potential mechanism for how Neat1 acts to suppress transformation and tumor initiation.

Project description:The long non-coding RNA NEAT1 (nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1) nucleates the formation of paraspeckles, which constitute a type of nuclear body that has multiple roles in gene expression. How the NEAT1 gene itself is regulated and how paraspeckles communicate with other cell compartments remains poorly understood. Here we identify regulators of NEAT1 transcription using an endogenous NEAT1 promoter-driven EGFP reporter in human cells coupled with genome-wide RNAi screens. In addition to transcription factors and chromatin modulators, the screens unexpectedly yielded gene candidates involved in mitochondrial functions as essential regulators of NEAT1 expression and paraspeckle formation. Mitochondrial defects altered NEAT1 transcription via ATF2 and subsequently uncoupled 3’ end processing of NEAT1_1 from its long isoform to favour NEAT1_2 production, which is key for generating elongated paraspeckles that have different features from the regular, globular bodies. Correspondingly, NEAT1 depletion has profound effects on mitochondrial dynamics and function by altering sequestration of mRNAs of mitochondrial genes enriched in paraspeckles. Overall, our data provided a rich resource for understanding NEAT1 and paraspeckle regulation, and revealed an unexpected crosstalk between cytoplasmic organelles and nuclear bodies.
