Download or read book Lnc ing Long Non coding RNAs to Functional Roles in B Cell Biology and Beyond written by Sarah Pyfrom and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer of B- and T-cells that affects nearly 75,000 people in the US every year, leading to 20,000 deaths according to the American Cancer Society. While NHL has been heavily genetically profiled, no single identified driver mutations sufficient to initiate lymphomagenesis have been identified. A large number of mutations have been found across all sub-types with an enrichment in genes involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. As a means to understanding how the epigenome and regulation of gene expression are altered in B-NHL, we processed over 100 B-NHL tumors from the clinic, in addition to normal B-cells from patient peripheral blood or healthy donors. We assessed: 1) active chromatin by ChIP-seq of histone modifications (H3K4ME3, H3K27AC, H3K4ME1), 2) chromatin accessibility by FAIRE-seq and 3) gene expression through microarrays and rRNA-depleted RNA-seq. These data lead to the identification of two previously undefined sub-types of Follicular Lymphoma (FL), which we published in Immunity in 2015. Our ongoing work with sequence-specific chromatin modifiers (SSCMs) makes these areas of aberrant chromatin activity viable targets for epigenetic therapeutics in future. In addition to identifying hundreds of altered regulatory elements in NHL, we also discovered hundreds of novel and previously-annotated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which represented some of the most differentially-expressed transcripts between cancerous and normal B cells. Despite an influx of contemporary publications concerning the myriad functionalities and criticality of many lncRNAs, we were unable to find a database or analytical tool capable of providing us with putative mechanisms of action for our lncRNAs of interest. To expedite the selection of lncRNAs for further analysis, we created an algorithm we named Predicting LncRNA Activity by Integrating Data-driven Omics and Heuristics (PLAIDOH). PLAIDOH requires a single user-derived input file with expression of lncRNAs and coding gene transcripts across 3 or more samples. By incorporating statistical correlation of lncRNAs and their cognate coding genes, in addition to multiple publicly-available genomic and interactomic datasets PLAIDOH calculates three separate scores designed to rank lncRNAs by 1) their cis-regulatory potential 2) enhancer-like qualities 3) sub-cellular location and RNA-binding protein profile. PLAIDOH correctly identified many of the previously-identified lncRNAs involved in transcriptional regulation of neighboring genes in addition and provided much-needed insight into the roles of highly-expressed NHL lncRNAs, allowing us to follow-up several transcripts with experiments performed in NHL cell lines. One of those lncRNAs of interest was RP11-96018L.1(LncRNA-PLCG2). RP11-96018L.1is a cytoplasmic lncRNA, which is specifically and highly expressed in B cells. Knock out or Knock down of RP11-96018L.1leads to a defect in BCR-mediated calcium signaling, but not through modulation of transcription or post-translational interaction with the most proximal gene, PLCG2. Pull down experiments have identified PLD1 as a cytoplasmic interactor of RP11-96018L.1and experiments are underway to identify the mechanism of action by which RP11-96018L.1affects the down-stream calcium signaling after BCR stimulation. Taken in its entirety, my thesis work is a holistic, 'omics-based interrogation of gene regulation and lncRNA activity in B cells and NHL, including the production of a novel bioinformatics tool (PLAIDOH), which will contribute to the mounting number of analyses focused on lncRNA activity. Our continued efforts to identify the role of RP11-96018L.1in B cell signaling and lymphomagenesis will result in the functional annotation of a previously unidentified component of the BCR signaling cascade.

Download or read book Roles of Non Coding RNAs in Transcriptional Regulation written by Loudu Srijyothi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are functional RNA molecules that are transcribed from mammalian genome but lack protein coding capacity. Nearly 80% of the human genome constitutes non-coding elements such as small non-coding RNAs, sncRNAs (miRNA, piRNA, SiRNA, SnRNA) and long non-coding RNAs, lncRNAs (linc RNA, NAT, eRNA, circ RNA, ceRNAs, PROMPTS). These ncRNAs have been extensively studied and are known to mediate the regulation of gene expression. In recent decades, lncRNAs have emerged as pivotal molecules that participate in the post-transcriptional regulation by acting as a signal, guide, scaffold and decoy molecules in addition to their role(s) in transcription. ncRNAs are known to play critical roles in defining DNA methylation patterns, imprinting as well as chromatin remodeling, thus having a substantial effect in epigenetic signaling. The expression of lncRNAs is regulated in a tissue specific and developmental stage specific manner and their mis-regulation is often associated with tumorigenesis. Henceforth, this chapter focuses mainly on the role(s) of ncRNAs in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation and their relevance in cancers.

Download or read book Long Non Coding RNAs written by Durdica Ugarkovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), tentatively defined as ncRNAs of more than two hundred nucleotides in length, are characterized by the complexity and diversity of their sequences and mechanisms of action. Based on genome-wide studies, more than 3,300 of them exist, but to date only the limited number of functional lncRNAs have been identified and characterized. Nonetheless, lncRNAs have emerged as key molecules involved in the control of transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene regulatory pathways. They take part in the recruitment of chromatin modifying complexes and regulate splicing, localization, stability and translation of the target mRNAs. This book provides an overview of the rapidly advancing field of long ncRNAs, describing the epigenetic and non-epigenetic mechanisms by which they regulate various biological functions in model systems, from yeast to mammals. The role of ncRNAs in sex chromosome dosage compensation in flies and mammals is described, as well as their role in centromere and telomere biology. Long non-coding RNAs involved in environmental stress response and development are presented and their mechanisms of action discussed.
Download or read book Long Non Coding RNA written by Syed Mudasir Andrabi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) were originally regarded as “noise” in the genome due to their lack of protein-encoding capacity. However, their roles are now understood to cover various biological functions like gene regulation, cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and chromatin remodeling. As an emerging group of non-coding RNA molecules, LncRNAs are involved in diverse diseases like cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune, hormonal disorders, neurodegeneration, and infection, among others. However, knowledge of the mechanisms by which they act is still ambiguous. As such, this book meets the essential need for a textbook dedicated to this topic and provides a comprehensive and captivating account of lncRNA research.
