    Endogenous Reverse Transcriptase and Rnase H-Mediated Antiviral Mechanism in Embryonic Stem Cells

    www.nature.com/cr www.cell-research.com ARTICLE Endogenous reverse transcriptase and RNase H-mediated antiviral mechanism in embryonic stem cells Junyu Wu1, Chunyan Wu1, Fan Xing1, Liu Cao1, Weijie Zeng1, Liping Guo1, Ping Li1, Yongheng Zhong1, Hualian Jiang1, Manhui Luo1, Guang Shi2, Lang Bu1, Yanxi Ji1, Panpan Hou1, Hong Peng1, Junjiu Huang2, Chunmei Li1 and Deyin Guo 1 Nucleic acid-based systems play important roles in antiviral defense, including CRISPR/Cas that adopts RNA-guided DNA cleavage to prevent DNA phage infection and RNA interference (RNAi) that employs RNA-guided RNA cleavage to defend against RNA virus infection. Here, we report a novel type of nucleic acid-based antiviral system that exists in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), which suppresses RNA virus infection by DNA-mediated RNA cleavage. We found that the viral RNA of encephalomyocarditis virus can be reverse transcribed into complementary DNA (vcDNA) by the reverse transcriptase (RTase) encoded by endogenous retrovirus-like elements in mESCs. The vcDNA is negative-sense single-stranded and forms DNA/RNA hybrid with viral RNA. The viral RNA in the heteroduplex is subsequently destroyed by cellular RNase H1, leading to robust suppression of viral growth. Furthermore, either inhibition of the RTase activity or depletion of endogenous RNase H1 results in the promotion of virus proliferation. Altogether, our results provide intriguing insights into the antiviral mechanism of mESCs and the antiviral function of endogenized retroviruses and cellular RNase H. Such a natural nucleic acid-based antiviral mechanism in mESCs is referred to as ERASE (endogenous RTase/RNase H-mediated antiviral system), which is an addition to the previously known nucleic acid-based antiviral mechanisms including CRISPR/Cas in bacteria and RNAi in plants and invertebrates.

Most noncoding tran- scripts exhibit nuclear localization and several have been shown to play a role in the reg- ulation of gene expression and chromatin remodeling. To investigate the function of such RNAs, methods to massively map the genomic interacting sites of multiple transcripts have been developed; however, these methods have some limitations. Here, we introduce RNA And DNA Interacting Complexes Ligated and sequenced (RADICL-seq), a technology that maps genome-wide RNA–chromatin interactions in intact nuclei. RADICL-seq is a proximity ligation-based methodology that reduces the bias for nascent transcription, while increasing genomic coverage and unique mapping rate efficiency compared with existing methods. RADICL-seq identifies distinct patterns of genome occupancy for different classes of tran- scripts as well as cell type–specific RNA-chromatin interactions, and highlights the role of transcription in the establishment of chromatin structure.

Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and cognitive function im- pairment. The multi-faced character of AD requires new drug solutions based on substances that incorporate a wide range of activities. Antioxidants, AChE/BChE inhibitors, BACE1, or anti-amyloid platelet aggregation substances are most desirable because they improve cognition with minimal side effects. Plant secondary metabolites, used in traditional medicine and pharmacy, are promising. Among these are the monoterpenes—low-molecular compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, Citation: Wojtunik-Kulesza, K.; enzyme inhibitory, analgesic, sedative, as well as other biological properties. The presented review Rudkowska, M.; Kasprzak-Drozd, K.; focuses on the pathophysiology of AD and a selected group of anti-neurodegenerative monoterpenes Oniszczuk, A.; Borowicz-Reutt, K. and monoterpenoids for which possible mechanisms of action have been explained. The main body Activity of Selected Group of of the article focuses on monoterpenes that have shown improved memory and learning, anxiolytic Monoterpenes in Alzheimer’s and sleep-regulating effects as determined by in vitro and in silico tests—followed by validation in Disease Symptoms in Experimental in vivo models.

Chan, Adviser Adviser Dr. Guido Marcucci, Co-adviser Graduate Program in Pharmacy Dr. Thomas D. Schmittgen Dr. Robert J. Lee Co-Adviser Graduate Program in Pharmacy ABSTRACT Over the last several decades, antisense therapy has been developed into a promising gene-targeted strategy to specifically inhibit the gene expression. Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), composing of subunits R1 and R2, is an important enzyme involved in the synthesis of all of the precursors used in DNA replication. Over- expression of R2 has been found in almost every type of cancer studied. GTI-2040 is a 20-mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide targeting the coding region in mRNA of the R2 component of human RNR. In this project, clinical pharamcokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and metabolism of this novel therapeutics were investigated in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A picomolar specific hybridization-ligation ELISA method has been developed and validated for quantification of GTI-2040. GTI-2040 and neophectin complex was found to enhance drug cellular uptake and exhibited sequence- and dose-dependent down-regulation of R2 mRNA and protein in K562 cells. Robust intracellular concentrations (ICs) of GTI-2040 were achieved in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and bone marrow (BM) cells from treated AML patients. GTI-2040 concentrations in the nucleus of BM cells were found to correlate with the R2 mRNA down-regulation and disease response.
  • Supplemental Methods

    Supplemental Methods

    Supplemental Methods: Sample Collection Duplicate surface samples were collected from the Amazon River plume aboard the R/V Knorr in June 2010 (4 52.71’N, 51 21.59’W) during a period of high river discharge. The collection site (Station 10, 4° 52.71’N, 51° 21.59’W; S = 21.0; T = 29.6°C), located ~ 500 Km to the north of the Amazon River mouth, was characterized by the presence of coastal diatoms in the top 8 m of the water column. Sampling was conducted between 0700 and 0900 local time by gently impeller pumping (modified Rule 1800 submersible sump pump) surface water through 10 m of tygon tubing (3 cm) to the ship's deck where it then flowed through a 156 µm mesh into 20 L carboys. In the lab, cells were partitioned into two size fractions by sequential filtration (using a Masterflex peristaltic pump) of the pre-filtered seawater through a 2.0 µm pore-size, 142 mm diameter polycarbonate (PCTE) membrane filter (Sterlitech Corporation, Kent, CWA) and a 0.22 µm pore-size, 142 mm diameter Supor membrane filter (Pall, Port Washington, NY). Metagenomic and non-selective metatranscriptomic analyses were conducted on both pore-size filters; poly(A)-selected (eukaryote-dominated) metatranscriptomic analyses were conducted only on the larger pore-size filter (2.0 µm pore-size). All filters were immediately submerged in RNAlater (Applied Biosystems, Austin, TX) in sterile 50 mL conical tubes, incubated at room temperature overnight and then stored at -80oC until extraction. Filtration and stabilization of each sample was completed within 30 min of water collection.
