Project description:ELAVL1 and CELF1 are two RNA-binding proteins involved in alternative splicing control. To address their functional relationships, we identify the differentially spliced mRNAs upon depletion of CELF1, ELAVL1, or both. These proteins control similar sets of genes with similar consequences on exon inclusion or skipping. The magnitude of the effect of the double depletion equals the sum of the magnitudes of the individual depletions, showing that CELF1 and ELAVL1 additively control their target RNAs. CELF1 and ELAVL1 regulated splicing events include ACSL4, WNK1, CD44, MICAL3, and JDP2. Using FRET, we find that CELF1 and ELAVL1 directly interact in cell nuclei. We demonstrate that the combined levels of CELF1 and ELAVL1 is a valuable biomarker in breast cancer, while their levels bring very limited information when taken individually. A “co-RNA splicing map” of CELF1 and ELAVL1 shows they repress alternative splice sites when bound nearby, but activate them when bound further away. Together, these data point to strong functional interactions between CELF1 and ELAVL1 to control alternative splicing with significant impacts in human pathology.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome changes between Negative control, UBR5 depleted and MYC depleted HeLa cells Methods: Gene expression profiles of Negative control, UBR5 depleted and MYC depleted HeLa cells were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate. Results:The data were analyzed, and we sucessfully detected global differences in the gene expression between the given groups. Conclusions: UBR5 depletion induces gene expression changes that are partly overlapping with gene expression changes induced by MYC depletion
Project description:We generated a HeLa cell model of mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB (MPSIIIB) by depleting NAGLU. MPSIIIB-associated cell defects were prominent in NAGLU-depleted cells. We explored alterations of metabolic pathways in NAGLU-depleted cells versus non-depleted control cells by performing gene expression profiling. Exon array transcriptome analysis showed 96 transcripts with increased expression level and 38 transcripts with decreased expression level in NAGLU-depleted versus non-depleted cells.

Total RNA was extracted from two independent cultures of non-depleted cells and NAGLU-depleted cells. We considered a minimal fold change of 1.5 fold and a corrected P value lower than 0.05.
Project description:We conducted transcriptome analysis of TFAM-depleted HepG2 cells and HeLa cells as a mitochondrial stress model. We found that mitochondrial dysfunction upregulated unique secretory proteins such as amphiregulin (AREG) and thrombospondin 1 in hepatic cells.
