Project description:The I locus is a 27-kb inverted repeat cluster of chalcone synthase genes CHS1-3-4 that mediates siRNA down-regulation of CHS7 and CHS8 target mRNAs during seed development leading to yellow seed coats lacking anthocyanin pigments. Here, we report small RNA sequencing of ten stages of seed development from a few days post fertilization through maturity, revealing the amplification from primary to secondary short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) occurring during development. The young seed populations had a higher proportion of siRNAs representing the CHS1-3-4 gene family members, consistent with this region as the origin of the primary siRNAs. More intriguingly, the very young seed had a higher proportion of 22-nt CHS siRNAs than did the mid-maturation seed. We infer that the primary CHS siRNAs increase during development to levels sufficient to trigger amplification of secondary CHS siRNAs from the CHS7/8 target mRNAs, enabling the total levels of 21-nt CHS siRNAs to rise dramatically. Further, we demonstrate that the soybean system exhibits tissue-specific CHS siRNA production because primary CHS siRNA levels are not sufficient to trigger secondary amplification in tissues other than the seed coat.

Project description:In addition to silencing intended target genes, transfected siRNAs regulate numerous unintended transcripts through a mechanism in which the equivalent of a microRNA-like seed region in the siRNA recognizes complementary sequences in transcript 3' UTRs. The ability to limit such off-target effects would substantially facilitate accurate interpretation of RNA interference (RNAi) experiments and thus greatly enhance their value. We tested whether lentivirus-mediated delivery of shRNA is prone to the seed region-based off-target activity prevalent in siRNA experiments. We compared target gene silencing and overall impact on global gene expression caused by multiple 21-mer duplex sequences delivered as both transfected siRNA and lentivirus vector-expressed shRNA. At equivalent levels of target gene silencing, signatures induced by shRNAs were significantly smaller than those induced by cognate siRNAs and arose less frequently from seed region activity. Interestingly, the low level of seed-region based off-target activity exhibited by shRNAs resulted in down-regulation of transcripts that were largely distinct from those regulated by siRNAs. On the basis of these observations, we recommend lentivirus-mediated RNA interference for pathway profiling experiments that measure whole genome transcriptional readouts as well as for large-scale screens when resources for extensive follow up are limited.

Project description:In Arabidopsis seed development involves maternal small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that induce RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) through the NRPD1 pathway. To investigate their biological functions we characterized siRNAs in the endosperm and seed coat that were separated by laser capture microdissection (LCM) in reciprocal genetic crosses with an nrpd1 mutant. We also monitored the spatio-temporal activity of the NRPD1 pathway on seed development using AGO4:GFP::AGO4 (promoter:GFP::protein) reporter and promoter:GUS sensors of siRNA-mediated silencing. From these approaches we identified four distinct groups of siRNA loci that were dependent on or independent of the maternal NRPD1 allele in the endosperm or seed coat. A group of maternally expressed NRPD1-siRNA loci targets endosperm-preferred genes, including those encoding AGAMOUS-LIKE (AGL) transcription factors. Using the sensor AGL40:GUS and AGL91:GUS constructs we demonstrate that spatial and temporal expression patterns of these genes in the endosperm were regulated by the NRPD1-mediated pathway irrespective of complete silencing (AGL91) or incomplete silencing (AGL40) of these target genes. Modified expression of these siRNA-targeted genes affects seed size and we propose that the corresponding maternal siRNAs could account for parent-of-origin effects on the endosperm in interploidy and hybrid crosses. These analyses reconcile previous studies on siRNAs and imprinted gene expression during seed development.

Project description:siRNAs mediate sequence-specific gene silencing in cultured mammalian cells but also silence unintended transcripts. Many siRNA off-target transcripts match the guide-strand ‘‘seed region,’’ similar to the way microRNAs match their target sites. The extent to which this seed-matched, microRNA-like, off-target silencing affects the specificity of therapeutic siRNAs in vivo is currently unknown. Here, we compare microRNA-like off-target regulations in mouse liver in vivo with those seen in cell culture for a series of therapeutic candidate siRNAs targeting Apolipoprotein B (APOB). Each siRNA triggered regulation of consistent microRNA-like off-target transcripts in mouse livers and in cultured mouse liver tumor cells. In contrast, there was only random overlap between microRNA-like off-target transcripts from cultured human and mouse liver tumor cells. Therefore, siRNA therapeutics may trigger microRNA-like silencing of many unintended targets in vivo, and the potential toxicities caused by these off-target gene regulations cannot be accurately assessed in rodent models.

Project description:Transfected siRNAs and miRNAs regulate numerous transcripts that have only limited complementarity to the active strand of the RNA duplex. This process reflects natural target regulation by miRNAs, but is an unintended (“off-target”) consequence of siRNA-mediated silencing. Here we demonstrate that this unintended off-target silencing is widespread, and occurs in a manner reminiscent of target silencing by miRNAs. A high proportion of unintended transcripts silenced by siRNAs showed 3’ UTR sequence complementarity to the seed region of the siRNA. Base mismatches within the siRNA seed region reduced the set of original off-target transcripts but generated new sets of silenced transcripts with sequence complementarity to the mismatched seed sequence. An inducible shRNA silenced a subset of transcripts that were silenced by an siRNA of the same sequence, demonstrating that unintended silencing is sequence-mediated and is independent of delivery method. In all cases, off-target transcript silencing was accompanied by loss of the corresponding protein and occurred with similar dependence on siRNA concentration as silencing of the target transcript. These results demonstrate that short stretches of sequence complementarity to the seed region of the siRNA are key to the silencing of unintended transcripts, and that this limits the specificity of siRNA-mediated transcript silencing. Because these off-target events are sequence-dependent, inclusion of multiple independent siRNAs to the target of interest can help to distinguish true positives from false positives in functional genetic analyses.

Hepa1-6 mouse hepatoma cell line and HUH7 and PLC/PRF/5 human hepatoma cell lines were transfected in 6-well plates using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX and siRNA duplexes at a final concentration of 10 nM. For in vitro analysis, RNA was extracted at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h post-transfection. For in vivo studies, mouse livers were harvested 3 d following a single administration of APOB siRNA (3 mg/kg) formulated in lipid nanoparticles. For details, please see: J. Burchard, A.L.
