U2AF65 is an essential splicing factor involved in the 3'splice site recognition dureing the first steps of spliceosome assembly. In addition, this protein has nucleocytoplasmic shuttling activity and the Drosophila homologue has been implicated in mRNA export.

View SamplesAlthough gain of chromosome-5p is one of the most frequent DNA copy number imbalances in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the genes that drive its selection remain poorly understood. In a previous cross-sectional clinical study we showed that the microRNA processor Drosha (located on chromosome-5p) demonstrates frequent copy-number gain and over-expression in cervical SCC, associated with altered microRNA profiles. Here, we have conducted gene depletion/over-expression experiments to demonstrate the functional significance of up-regulated Drosha in cervical SCC cells. Drosha depletion by RNA-interference (RNAi) produced significant, specific reductions in cell motility/invasiveness in vitro, with a silent RNAi-resistant Drosha mutation providing phenotype rescue. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering following global profiling of 319 microRNAs in eighteen cervical SCC cell line specimens generated two groups according to Drosha expression levels. Altering Drosha levels in individual SCC lines changed the group into which the cells clustered, with gene depletion effects being rescued by the RNAi-resistant mutation. Forty-five microRNAs showed significant differential expression between the groups, including four of fourteen that were differentially-expressed in association with Drosha levels in clinical samples. miR-31 up-regulation in Drosha over-expressing samples/cell lines was the highest-ranked change (by adjusted p-value) in both analyses, an observation validated by Northern blotting. These functional data support the role of Drosha as an oncogene in cervical SCC, by affecting expression of cancer-associated microRNAs that have the potential to regulate numerous protein-coding genes.

View SamplesWe considered the possibility that removal of E2F4, as a key regulator of cellular quiescence, would cause systemic perturbations in the expression of E2F4 bound genes involved in cell cycle and proliferation. To test whether these pertubrations were reflected in the adult tissues' gene expression programs, we compared the gene expression profile of E2F4 double knockout mice to the gene expression found in identical tissues from E2F4 heterozygous littermates, that are phenotypically normal. We selected liver, testes, and kidney to profile by gene expression analysis, because two of these tissues are affected at some point during development when E2F4 is missing.
Cell cycle genes are the evolutionarily conserved targets of the E2F4 transcription factor.
