Project description:Genomes of complex organisms encode a wide variety of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that regulate gene expression. In human cells exposed to heat stress, transcription of lncRNAs is highly induced from Satellite III sequences located primarily within locus 9q12. Expression of Sat III transcripts is dependent on heat shock factor 1, the master regulator of the heat shock response. Sat III transcripts serve as the backbone of specific subnuclear structures called nuclear Stress Bodies, nSBs. Despite being known for two decades, the function of nSBs and Sat III transcripts is unknown, which prompted us to conduct RNA profiling in human cells where Sat III transcripts were either intact or downregulated. Comparison of these cells revealed that under stress conditions, Sat III transcripts are involved in regulating a plethora of genes, including such associated with cell growth and protein homeostasis. Our results show that the presence of Sat III transcripts has a repressive effect on cell proliferation. We propose a model in which the inducible expression of Sat III transcripts restrains cell proliferation, allowing the cell to assess whether to grow or undergo apoptosis, and thereby suggesting a function for these lncRNAs in cell fate decisions and in restoring protein homeostasis. Total RNA from HEK293T cells transfected with siRNA against Satellite III transcripts or scrambled siRNA and heat shocked 1 h at 42°C , or heat shocked 1 h at 42 °C followed by recovery for 6 h, or left untreated was compared.

Project description:To test whether non-coding RNAs play roles in regulating response to powdery mildew infection and heat stress in wheat, by using Solexa high-throughput sequencing and computational analysis and experimental approach we cloned the small RNAs and identified 125 putative long npcRNAs from wheat leaves infected by preponderant physiological strain Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici (Egt) or by heat stress treatment. Among long non-coding RNAs, some were precursors of small RNAs such as microRNAs and siRNAs, two long npcRNAs were identified as signal recognition particle (SRP) 7S RNA variants, and three were characterized as U3 snoRNAs. Wheat long npcRNAs showed tissue dependent expression patterns and were responsive to powdery mildew infection and heat stress. Examination non-coding RNAs of 2 near isogenic lines 8866 (Susceptible) and Pm30 (Resistant) in response to powdery milew and two genotypes CK (insensitive) and TAM107 (insensitive) to heat. CK and TAM107 represent the same material in different treatments (no heat stress or 1hour after heat stress).

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are novel family of gene regulators but the study of lncRNAs in satellite cell lineage progression is still at the infancy stage. Here we identified a novel lncRNA, SAM (Sugt1 associated muscle lncRNA) that was enriched in the proliferation myoblast cells but decreased as the cells progress to differentiation. Gain- or loss- of function of SAM in muscle satellite cells altered myogenic proliferation and differentiation. The above phenotypical changes in cells were also substantiated when RNAseq was performed to assess transcriptomic changes caused by SAM loss. Gene Ontology (GO) cluster analysis of up- or down-regulated genes is in line with the pro-proliferative function of SAM and the precocious differentiation upon SAM loss.
