Project description:As a kind of malignant tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been studied continuously, but the mechanisms are not well understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widespread in eukaryotes and play an important role in the growth of organisms and in the occurrence of diseases. The role of circRNAs in HCC remains to be further explored. In this study, CircRNA microarray analysis was used to assess the plasma from HCC patients and healthy controls and to identify circRNAs involved in HCC tumorigenesis. CircETFA was overexpressed in HCC tissues, plasma, and cells. Clinicopathological data revealed that abnormally high circETFA expression was associated with a poor prognosis. In function, circETFA promotes the malignant phenotype of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro, inhibits cycle arrest, and decreases the proportion of apoptotic cells. In mechanism, it can upregulate C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) in HCC cells, thereby regulating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway and other key downstream effectors (e.g., FoxO6). Furthermore, circETFA prolonged the half-life of CCL5 mRNA by recruiting the eukaryotic initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) and acted as a sponge of hsa-miR-612 to suppress the silencing effect of hsa-miR-612 on CCL5. In conclusion, CircETFA can increase the expression of CCL5 to promote the progression of HCC by sponging hsa-mir-612 and recruiting EIF4A3, and is promising as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target.

Project description:In order to identify circRNAs involved in HCC tumorigenesis, we performed circular RNA microarray analysis on three pairs of total RNA from HCC patient plasma and healthy controls. A total of 5122 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified (FC ≥ 2 or FC ≤ -2, P-value ≤ 0.05) . Among them, 4162 circRNAs were significantly up-regulated, and 960 circRNAs were significantly down-regulated.

Project description:RNA helicases are involved in multiple steps of RNA metabolism to direct their roles in gene expression, yet their functions in pluripotency control remain largely unexplored. Starting from an RNAi screen of RNA helicases, we identified that eIF4A3, a DEAD-box (Ddx) helicase component of the exon junction complex (EJC), is essential for the maintenance of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We mapped the eIF4A3 interactomes in mouse ESCs, revealing that eIF4A3 is widely involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Mechanistically, we show that eIF4A3 post-transcriptionally controls the pluripotency-related cell cycle regulators and that its depletion causes cellular differentiation via cell cycle dysregulation. Specifically, eIF4A3 is required for the efficient nuclear export of Ccnb1 mRNA, which encodes Cyclin B1, a key component of the pluripotency-promoting pathway during cell cycle progression of ESCs. Our results reveal a previously unappreciated role of eIF4A3 and its associated EJC in the post-transcriptional cell cycle control in maintaining stem cell pluripotency.

Project description:The exon junction complex is involved in gene expression regulation on multiple co- and post-transcriptional levels. We aimed to investigate in HeLa Tet-Off cells which gene expression alterations can be observed upon knockdown of core EJC factors (EIF4A3, RBM8A and MAGOH) or upon EIF4A3 knockdown and rescue with EIF4A3 wild type construct by using RNA-Seq analyses. The rescue construct was stably integrated into the genome using the PiggyBac transposon system. As control Luciferase (Luc) siRNA was used.

Project description:HeLa cells were cultured in DMEM, supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCS and penicillin/streptomycin under 5% CO2 at 37°C. For iCLIP, HeLa cells expressing eIF4A3-GFP or PTB-GFP were induced with doxycycline to adjust the level of recombinant protein to the level of the endogenous counterpart and irradiated with 150 mJ/cm2 UV light (254 nm). The iCLIP cDNA libraries for eIF4A3 and PTB were sequenced with 50 bp on an Illumina HiSeq instrument.

Project description:The modified iCLIP protocol is based on the previously described protocol (Huppertz et al., 2014) with modifications that enable the definition of readthrough cDNAs. HeLa cells were crosslinked with 0.15mJ/cm2 254nm UV light. Protein G Dynabeads were used for immunoprecipitations (IP). For each IP, 100 l of beads were washed in iCLIP lysis buffer (50mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 100mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate), and incubated with the anti-eIF4A3 antibody or polyclonal mAb BB7 serum anti-PTBP1. To prepare the cell lysate, the cells were lysed with 1 mL iCLIP lysis buffer (final concentration 2mg/mL), sonicated (Bioruptor, 5x5 sec on/off), incubated with RNase I (1-2 x10-3 U/mL for eIF4A3) at 37C for 3 min, and centrifuged. After the pellet had dissolved, the mixture was diluted with H2O to 1000 L and an additional centrifugation was performed. The supernatant of the iCLIP lysis buffer (1 mL) and the MSB lysis buffer (1 ml) were combined and added to the antibody-coupled beads, which were then rotated at 4C for 2 h (final urea concentration 175 mM). The beads were then washed with high-salt washing buffer (50mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 1M NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate). After the first round of washes, the library was split into 10%, which were radioactively labelled (according to the basic iCLIP protocol), and 90%, which proceed through 3 adapter addition, an additional phosphorylation (0.2 l PNK, 0.4 l cold ATP (1mM), 0.4 l 10x PNK buffer, 3 l water) and a 5 marker ligation (6 l water, 5 l 4X ligation buffer, 2 l RNA ligase, 1 l RNasin, 2 l 5 marker (100 M), 4 l PEG400). The sequence of the 5 marker is CAGUCCGACGAUC, which corresponds to the Illumina short RNA 5 Adapter (RA5), part #15013205; this sequence is not complementary to the primers used for amplification of iCLIP cDNA libraries (Huppertz et al., 2014). We then produced sequence reads of 120 nt using the Illumina HiSeq platform for eIF4A3 iCLIP. The rest of the protocol was carried out as previously described (Huppertz et al., 2014).
