RESUMEN

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a recently characterized family of gene transcripts forming a covalently closed loop of single-stranded RNA. The extent of their potential for fine-tuning gene expression is still being discovered. Several studies have implicated certain circular RNAs in pathophysiological processes within vascular endothelial cells and cancer cells independently. However, to date, no comparative study of circular RNA expression in different types of endothelial cells has been performed and analysed through the lens of their central role in vascular physiology and pathology. In this work, we analysed publicly available and original RNA sequencing datasets from arterial, veinous, and lymphatic endothelial cells to identify common and distinct circRNA expression profiles. We identified 4713 distinct circRNAs in the compared endothelial cell types, 95% of which originated from exons. Interestingly, the results show that the expression profile of circular RNAs is much more specific to each cell type than linear RNAs, and therefore appears to be more suitable for distinguishing between them. As a result, we have discovered a specific circRNA signature for each given endothelial cell type. Furthermore, we identified a specific endothelial cell circRNA signature that is composed four circRNAs: circCARD6, circPLXNA2, circCASC15 and circEPHB4. These circular RNAs are produced by genes that are related to endothelial cell migration pathways and cancer progression. More detailed studies of their functions could lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in physiological and pathological (lymph)angiogenesis and might open new ways to tackle tumour spread through the vascular system.

RESUMEN

Long non-coding (lnc) RNAs, once considered as junk and useless, are now broadly recognized to have major functions in the cell. LncRNAs are defined as non-coding RNAs of more than 200 nucleotides, regulate all steps of gene expression. Their origin is diverse, they can arise from intronic, intergenic or overlapping region, in sense or antisense direction. LncRNAs are mainly described for their action on transcription, while their action at the translational level is more rarely cited. However, the bibliography in the field is more and more abundant. The present synopsis of lncRNAs involved in the control of translation reveals a wide field of regulation of gene expression, with at least nine distinct molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, it appears that all these lncRNAs are involved in various pathologies including cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.

RESUMEN

The congenital bone marrow failure syndrome Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is typically associated with variants in ribosomal protein (RP) genes impairing erythroid cell development. Here we report multiple individuals with biallelic HEATR3 variants exhibiting bone marrow failure, short stature, facial and acromelic dysmorphic features, and intellectual disability. These variants destabilize a protein whose yeast homolog is known to synchronize the nuclear import of RPs uL5 (RPL11) and uL18 (RPL5), which are both critical for producing ribosomal subunits and for stabilizing the p53 tumor suppressor when ribosome biogenesis is compromised. Expression of HEATR3 variants or repression of HEATR3 expression in primary cells, cell lines of various origins, and yeast models impairs growth, differentiation, pre-ribosomal RNA processing, and ribosomal subunit formation reminiscent of DBA models of large subunit RP gene variants. Consistent with a role of HEATR3 in RP import, HEATR3-depleted cells or patient-derived fibroblasts display reduced nuclear accumulation of uL18. Hematopoietic progenitor cells expressing HEATR3 variants or small-hairpin RNAs knocking down HEATR3 synthesis reveal abnormal acceleration of erythrocyte maturation coupled to severe proliferation defects that are independent of p53 activation. Our study uncovers a new pathophysiological mechanism leading to DBA driven by biallelic HEATR3 variants and the destabilization of a nuclear import protein important for ribosome biogenesis.

RESUMEN

Stau1 is a pluripotent RNA-binding protein that is responsible for the post-transcriptional regulation of a multitude of transcripts. Here, we observed that lung cancer patients with a high Stau1 expression have a longer recurrence free survival. Strikingly, Stau1 did not impair cell proliferation in vitro, but rather cell migration and cell adhesion. In vivo, Stau1 depletion favored tumor progression and metastases development. In addition, Stau1 depletion strongly impaired vessel maturation. Among a panel of candidate genes, we specifically identified the mRNA encoding the cell adhesion molecule Thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) as a new target for Staufen-mediated mRNA decay. Altogether, our results suggest that regulation of THBS1 expression by Stau1 may be a key process involved in lung cancer progression.
