Project description:We deciphered Ago2:RNA interactions in post-mortem human heart tissues using crosslinking immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (HITS-CLIP) to generate the first transcriptome-wide map of miR targeting events in human myocardium, detecting 4000 cardiac Ago2 binding sites across >2200 target transcripts. Profiling AGO2-associated RNAs in cardiac tissues obtained from 6 donors with heart diseases of differing etiologies

Project description:Here, seeking to gain insight into the array of transcripts engaged with miRNAs in human brain, we performed HITS-CLIP to profile transcriptome-wide Ago2:RNA interactions in a panel of eleven post-mortem adult human brain samples harvested from adult motor cortex and cingulate gyrus, regions associated with movement and psychiatric disorders . High-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) Eleven post-mortem adult human brain tissues were subjected to ultraviolet radiation to crosslink proteins with nucleic acids, and HITS-CLIP was performed as previously described by Chi et al Nature. 2009 Jul 23;460(7254):479-86 using an anti-Ago2 polyclonal antibody and some additional modifications.

Project description:DeepRNA-Reg employs advances in deep learning to enable high-fidelity comparative analysis of paired datasets of high-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP). In a HITS-CLIP experimental paradigm where Ago2 activity is precisely perturbed via gene knock-out of a microRNA cluster, DeepRNA-Reg offers a superior prediction set than the current best prescription for differential HITS-CLIP; furthermore, DeepRNA-Reg predictions adhere better to the ground-truth of the RNA primary and secondary structural motifs that enable miRNA-mediated targeting of RNA. DeepRNA-Reg uncovered novel mediators in the mechanism of microRNA-mediated restraint of type-2 immunity in T-Helper 2 cells. In a comparative analysis, DeepRNA-Reg predictions show greater translatability across distinct biological milieux, offering prediction sets with wide applicability for investigators.
