Diabetes Publish Ahead of Print, published online September 29, 2017 Diabetes Page 2 of 51 Abstract Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest on brown adipose tissue (BAT) to combat the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. How its development and activation are regulated at the post-transcriptional level, however, has yet to be fully understood. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) lie in the center of post-transcriptional regulation. To systemically study the role of RBPs in BAT, we profiled >400 RBPs in different adipose depots and identified Y-box binding protein 2 (Ybx2) as a novel regulator in BAT activation. Knockdown of Ybx2 blocks brown adipogenesis, while its overexpression promotes BAT marker expression in brown and white adipocytes. Ybx2 knockout mice could form BAT but failed to express a full thermogenic program. Integrative analysis of RNA-seq and RNA-immunoprecipitation study revealed a set of Ybx2’s mRNA targets, including Pgc1α, that were destabilized by Ybx2 depletion during cold-induced activation. Thus, Ybx2 is a novel regulator that controls BAT activation by regulating mRNA stability. Page 3 of 51 Diabetes INTRODUCTION Obesity has reached an epidemic scale in many countries, resulting in a steep escalation in health care expenditure and a growing burden of chronic obesity-related morbidities(1). An attractive approach to improve metabolic health is to augment the mass and activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT)(2-7). There are at least two types of thermogenic adipocytes in mammals, namely, classical brown adipocytes and inducible/beige adipocytes. Classical BAT is located as a discernible depot in the interscapular region in small mammals and human infants. Beige/inducible adipocytes exist in defined anatomical white adipose tissue (WAT) depots, particularly in subcutaneous WAT, and express a gene program more like WAT at thermoneutrality. In response to prolonged cold exposure, chronic treatment of β- adrenergic receptor agonist, or intensive exercise, the number of beige adipocytes dramatically increases, accompanied by enhanced Ucp1 levels and mitochondria biogenesis, a process known as “browning” (2; 5; 6). Understanding the detailed mechanisms underlying BAT differentiation and function is an area of immense research interest. A vast array of factors has been identified that regulate BAT development and activity by acting at the transcriptional level(6-16). How these processes are regulated at the post-transcriptional level, however, has yet to be fully understood. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) comprise a large and diverse group(17; 18) that lie at the center of posttranscriptional regulation by governing the fate of mRNA transcripts from biogenesis, stabilization, translation to RNA decay. Several RBPs have been reported to modulate adipocyte development and lipid metabolism. SFRS10 (splicing factor arginine/serine-rich10) inhibits lipogenesis by controlling the alternative splicing of LPIN1, a key regulator in lipid metabolism(19; 20). Sam68 (the Src-associated substrate during mitosis of 68 kDa) is required for white adipose tissue (WAT) adipogenesis by regulating mTOR alternative splicing(21). Knockout of KSRP (KH-type splicing regulatory protein) promotes browning of WAT by reducing miR-150 expression(22). IGF2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is a widely expressed RBP and a SNP in its intron is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus by GWAS studies(23). Knockout of IGF2BP2 results in resistance to diet-induced obesity, largely due to an enhanced translational efficiency of Ucp1 and other mitochondria mRNAs in the knockout BAT(24). Recently, paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1) was identified as an essential RBP for adipose differentiation in vitro and in vivo by regulating the export of adipogenic RNA from nucleus to cytosol (25). Despite these advances, our understanding of RBPs in adipocytes, particularly in brown adipocytes, is still at its early stage and the functions of most RBPs remain unknown. In this study, we systemically profiled 413 RBPs in different fat depots, during white fat browning and brown adipogenesis, and identified 5 BAT-enriched RBPs. We demonstrated Diabetes Page 4 of 51 the role of Ybx2 in development and activation of BAT in vitro and in vivo, which could be, at least partially, explained by stabilizing mRNA. METHODS Animal Studies Ybx2 heterozygous mice (NSA (CF-1) Background) were originally imported from Dr. Paula Stein in University of Pennsylvania. C57BL6 mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory and subsequently bred in house. All mice were maintained at the animal vivarium at DUKE-NUS Medical School. For cold challenge experiments, animals were housed individually in a 4oC chamber for 6 hours. The rectal body temperature was recorded with a probe thermometer (Advance Technology) at a constant depth. All animal experimental protocols were approved by the Singapore SingHealth Research Facilities Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Glucose tolerance test (GTT) and Insulin tolerance test (ITT) was performed as described before (26) and EchoMRI was used to measure fat and lean mass. For in vivo insulin signalling study, Ybx2 KO and WT mice were fasted for 6hr at RT or 4oC. Then the mice were injected with insulin (1 U per kg body weight). After 5 min, mice were sacrificed and BAT were collected. Lipolysis assay was performed as described before (26). Cell culture 293T cells for retroviral packing were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (HyClone™). Primary brown and white pre- adipocytes were isolated from 3-4 week old C57BL6 mice. The procedure for pre-adipocytes isolation, culture and differentiation and Oil Red O staining was described previously (26). Human primary interscapular brown adipocytes were obtained from Zenbio Inc and cultured and differentiated as previously described (27). Retrovirus transduction A MSCV based retroviral vector (MSCV-pgkGFP-U3-U6P-Bbs vector)(28) was used to generate shRNAs to infect preadipocytes; XZ201 vector(29) was used to overexpress Ybx2 for gain-of-function studies. All the retroviruses were packaged in 293T cells with the pCL- eco packaging vector and then used to transduce pre-adipocytes in the presence of 4 mg/ml polybrene (Sigma), followed by induction of differentiation. FuGENE® 6 Transfection Reagent (Promega) was used for plasmid transfection according to manufacturer’s instruction. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP). Primary brown and white adipocytes were infected with retroviral Ybx2 and differentiated for 4 days. RNA immunoprecipitation was performed using Magna RIP kit (Merck Millipore) Page 5 of 51 Diabetes according to manufacturer’s instruction. RNA samples retrieved from Anti-Ybx2 (Abcam) and IgG control with Magna RIP kit were used for RNA-seq. RNA pull-down RNA pull-down was performed according to our published protocol with a few modifications (30). In this study, we used tissue lysate from mouse BAT instead of primary cell culture prepared as described above. The tissue lysate was prepared as described in the RIP section. The rest of the experiment followed our published protocol (30). Extracellular Flux Analysis Primary brown pre-adipocytes were seeded in an X-24 cell culture plate, infected by retroviral constructs as indicated in the text, followed by induction of differentiation. Differentiated cells were analyzed by Extracellular Flux Analyzer (Seahorse bioscience) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Oxygen consumption rates were normalized by protein concentration. Animals were kept at 4oC for 6 hours before experiment. BAT and skeletal muscle (Gastrocnemius) were harvested and minced with micro-mincer (Glen Mills Inc). The minced tissue was kept in ice-chilled mitochondrial respiration media (MiR05) (EGTA 0.5mM, MgCl2.6H2O 3mM, Lactobionic acid 60mM, Taurine 20mM, KH2PO4 10mM, HEPES 20mM, D-Sucrose 110mM, BSA 1g/l). 2mg and 10mg tissue lysate, respectively, was immediately loaded into Oroboros Respirometry together with substrates including Glutamate, Malate, Pyruvate and ADP (10mM, 2mM, 5mM, ADP 5mM, respectively). OCR was monitored at basal level and when the samples were treated with different drugs Oligomycin(5mM), FCCP (1uM), and Antimycin

This regulation is accomplished by an ensemble of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that bind to any given mRNA, thus forming mRNPs. Poly(A) binding proteins (PABPs) are prominent members of virtually all mRNPs that possess poly(A) tails. They serve as multifunctional scaffolds, allowing the recruitment of diverse factors containing a poly(A)-interacting motif (PAM) into mRNPs. We present the crystal structure of the variant PAM motif (termed PAM2w) in the N-terminal part of the positive translation factor LARP4B, which binds to the MLLE domain of the poly(A) binding protein C1 cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1). The structural analysis, along with mutational studies in vitro and in vivo, uncovered a new mode of interaction between PAM2 motifs and MLLE domains. Keywords: PAM2w; PAM2; PABC1; MLLE domain; PABP; Poly(A) binding protein 1. Introduction In higher eukaryotes, posttranscriptional mechanisms contribute significantly to gene expression. The mRNA, which is translated into proteins by the ribosomes, has first to undergo several maturation steps, from the primary pre-mRNA transcript to the mature mRNA.

Open data enables researchers to accelerate cancer studies, save resources and foster collaboration. Several tools and programming approaches are available for analyzing data, including annotation, clustering, comparison and extrapolation, merging, enrichment, functional association and statistics. We exploit openly available data via cancer gene expression analysis, we apply refinement as well as enrichment analysis via gene ontology and conclude with graph-based visualization of involved protein interaction networks as a basis for signaling. The different databases allowed for the construction of huge networks or specified ones consisting of high-confidence interactions only. Several genes associated to glioma were isolated via a network analysis from top hub nodes as well as from an outlier analysis. The latter approach highlights a mitogen-activated protein kinase next to a member of histondeacetylases and a protein phosphatase as genes uncommonly associated with glioma. Cluster analysis from top hub nodes lists several identified glioma-associated gene products to function within protein complexes, including epidermal growth factors as well as cell cycle proteins or RAS proto-oncogenes.

    Original Article Comparison of Protamine 1 to Protamine 2 mRNA Ratio and YBX2 gene mRNA Content in Testicular Tissue of Fertile and Azoospermic Men Sahar Moghbelinejad, Ph.D.1, 2, Reza Najafipour, Ph.D.1, 2*, Amir Samimi Hashjin, M.Sc.1 1. Cellular and Molecular Research Centre, Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran 2. Department of Medical Genetics, Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran Abstract Background: Although aberrant protamine (PRM) ratios have been observed in infertile men, the mechanisms that implicit the uncoupling of PRM1 and PRM2 expression remain unclear. To uncover these mechanisms, in this observational study we have compared the PRM1/PRM2 mRNA ratio and mRNA contents of two regulatory factors of these genes. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, sampling was performed by a mul- ti-step method from 50 non-obstructive azoospermic and 12 normal men. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT- QPCR) was used to analyze the PRM1, PRM2, Y box binding protein 2 (YBX2) and JmjC-containing histone demethylase 2a (JHDM2A) genes in testicular biopsies of the studied samples. Results: The PRM1/PRM2 mRNA ratio differed significantly among studied groups, namely 0.21 ± 0.13 in azoospermic samples and -0.8 ± 0.22 in fertile samples. The amount of PRM2 mRNA, significantly reduced in azoospermic patients. Azoospermic men exhib- ited significant under expression of YBX2 gene compared to controls (P<0.001). mRNA content of this gene showed a positive correlation with PRM mRNA ratio (R=0.6, P=0.007). JHDM2A gene expression ratio did not show any significant difference between the studied groups (P=0.3).

A concatenated tandem array of consensus transcription factors (TFs)-response elements was used to pull down nuclear extracts in two different pairs of colorectal cancer cells, KM12SM/KM12C and SW620/480, genetically-related but differing in metastatic ability. Proteins were analyzed by label-free LC-MS and quantified with MaxLFQ. We found 240 proteins showing a significant dysregulation in highly- metastatic KM12SM cells relative to non-metastatic KM12C cells and 257 proteins in metastatic SW620 versus SW480. In both cell lines there were similar alterations in genuine TFs and components of the splicing machinery like UPF1, TCF7L2/TCF-4, YBX1 or SRSF3. However, a significant number of alterations were cell-line specific. Functional silencing of MAFG, TFE3, TCF7L2/TCF-4 and SRSF3 in KM12 cells caused alterations in adhesion, survival, proliferation, migration and liver homing, supporting their role in metastasis.
