Project description:MicroRNAs have emerged as major genetic elements in the genesis and suppression of cancer. Here, multi-dimensional cancer genome analysis and validation has defined a novel Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) tumor suppressor pathway and mechanism of action centered on Quaking (QK), a member of the STAR family of RNA-binding proteins. Combined functional, biochemical and computational studies establish that p53 directly regulates QK gene expression, QK protein binds and stabilizes miR-20a of the cancer-relevant miR-17-92 cluster, and miR-20a in turn functions to regulate TGFβR2 and the TGFβ signaling network. Linkage of these pathway components is supported by their genome and expression status across GBM specimens and by their gain- and loss-of-function interactions in in vitro and in vivo complementation studies. This p53-QK-miR-20a axis expands our understanding of the p53 tumor suppression network in cancer and reveals a novel tumor suppression mechanism involving regulation of specific cancer-relevant microRNAs. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
Project description:We sequenced mRNAs from HeLa cells transduced with either scrambled shRNA or shRNA targeting ASCC3. The results have shown differential gene expression in ASCC3 knockdown cells, suggesting a regulatory role for ASCC3 in certain cellular pathway. mRNA from HeLa cells transduced with either scrambled shRNA (ni) or shRNA targeting ASCC3 (ai) were harvested and used for deep sequencing by Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing instruments.
Project description:Several members from microRNA 17-92 cluster, i.e. miR-19a, miR-19b and miR-20a, were found up-regulated in human epidermal keratinocytes at wound-edges compared to the intact skin; however their biological role in keratinocytes during wound repair has not been studied. To study the genes regulated by miR-19a, miR-19b and miR-20a, we transfected miRNA specific mimics, i.e. pre-miR-19a, pre-miR-19b or pre-miR-20a into human primary epidermal keratinocytes to overexpress them. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of keratinocytes upon overexpression of miR-19a or miR-19b or miR-20a using Affymetrix arrays.
Project description:CELF1 was silenced in two human melanoma cell lines (SKMEL-103 and UACC-62, indicated as 9M and 17M, respectively) using short hairpin RNA (tag 114). As control scrambled non targeting shControl transduced cell were used (tag 115).
