Project description:We deep sequenced and analyzed miRNAs using small RNA sequencing in six medulloblastoma cell lines (SHH: DAOY and ONS-76, Group 3: D341 and D425, Group 4: CHLA-01-MED and CHLA-01R-MED).
Project description:The main cause of death in medulloblastoma is recurrence associated with leptomeningeal dissemination. Although the molecular basis of medulloblastoma has received considerable attention over the past decade, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the acquisition of metastatic phenotype remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify miRNA involved in leptomeningeal dissemination and to elucidate its target mechanisms. We analyzed miRNA expression profiles of 29 medulloblastomas according to the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding. The differential expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were validated on 29 medulloblastoma tissues and three medulloblastoma cells. The biological function of the selected miRNA was evaluated using in vitro studies. A total of 12 DEmiRNAs were identified including miRNA-192 in medulloblastoma with seeding. The reduced expression of miRNA-192 was confirmed in tumor seeding group and the medulloblastoma cells. Overexpression of miRNA-192 inhibited cellular proliferation targeting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). MiRNA-192 decreased cellular anchoring via repression of integrin subunits (αV, β1, and β3) and CD47. Medulloblastoma with seeding showed specific DEmiRNAs compared with those without seeding. MicroRNA-192 suppresses leptomeningeal dissemination of medulloblastoma through modulating cell proliferation and anchoring ability. leptomeningeal dissemination in 29 pediatric medulloblastoma patients

Project description:To study the effect of constitutive REST expression on DAOY, UW228 and UW426 cells, we generated low and high-REST (LR/HR) isogenic pairs of the three human medulloblastoma (MB) cell lines and performed RNA-Seq analysis. We also analyzed the expression profiles of D283 cells (Group3/4 MB cell line) with DAOY, UW228 and UW26 (SHH MB cell line ) to show the subgroup specific expression profiles.
Project description:A hallmark of high-risk childhood medulloblastoma is the dysregulation of RNA translation. Currently, it is unknown whether medulloblastoma dysregulates the translation of putatively oncogenic non-canonical open reading frames. To address this question, we performed ribosome profiling of 32 medulloblastoma tissues and cell lines and observed widespread non-canonical ORF translation. We then developed a step-wise approach using multiple CRISPR-Cas9 screens to elucidate non-canonical ORFs and putative microproteins implicated in medulloblastoma cell survival. We determined that multiple lncRNA-ORFs and upstream open reading frames (uORFs) exhibited selective functionality independent of the main coding sequence. A microprotein encoded by one of these ORFs, ASNSD1-uORF or ASDURF, was upregulated, associated with the MYC family oncogenes, and was required for medulloblastoma cell survival through engagement with the prefoldin-like chaperone complex. Our findings underscore the fundamental importance of non-canonical ORF translation in medulloblastoma and provide a rationale to include these ORFs in future studies seeking to define new cancer targets.
Project description:The goal of this study was to profile the total proteome and transcriptome of the established medulloblastoma cell lines, Daoy and UW228, using label-free nano-LC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomics and high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), coupled with pathway analysis to identify differentially expressed genes, proteins and signaling pathways with potential as prognostic markers. A total of 14250 and 12870 transcripts were detected for Daoy and UW228, respectively. Proteomic profiling identified 2630 and 1235 proteins in Daoy and UW228, representing 18% and 10% of detected transcripts, respectively. Interestingly, Daoy proteome included >50% unique proteins, while almost 90% of proteins expressed by UW228 were commonly expressed in Daoy. Differential expression of a number of adhesion, cytoskeletal and signaling molecules were observed between the two cell lines. Upregulation of a number of proteins and enrichment of key signaling pathways, including WNT, Sonic hedgehog (SHH) and integrin signaling pathways, were uniquely observed in MB cell lines, in particular in Daoy.
