In human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.
A genome-wide approach identifies distinct but overlapping subsets of cellular mRNAs associated with Staufen1- and Staufen2-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes.

View SamplesIn human cells, Staufen2 is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions. Although 51% identical to Staufen1, these proteins are nevertheless found in different RNA particles. In addition, differential splicing events generate Staufen2 isoforms that only differ at their N-terminal extremities. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen2 isoforms. The mRNA content of Staufen mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen2-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with Stau2-HA (59kDa) or Stau2-HA (62kDa) expressors. Our results indicate that 11% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau2-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.

View SamplesIt is currently unknown how extensively the double-stranded RNA binding protein Staufen (Stau)1 is utilized by mammalian cells to regulate gene expression. To date, Stau1 binding to the 3 untranslated region (3UTR) of ARF1 mRNA has been shown to target ARF1 mRNA for Stau1-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). ARF1 SMD depends on translation and recruitment of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor Upf1 to the ARF1 3UTR by Stau1. Here, we use microarray analyses to examine changes in the abundance of cellular mRNAs that occur when Stau1 is depleted. Results indicate that 1.1% and 1.0% of the 11,569 HeLa-cell transcripts that were analyzed are, respectively, upregulated and downregulated at least two-fold in three independently performed experiments. Additionally, we localize the Stau1 binding site to the 3UTR of four mRNAs that we define as natural SMD targets. Together, these and substantiating results suggest that Stau1 influences the expression of a wide variety of physiologic transcripts and metabolic pathways.

View SamplesTo better understand the scale of gene expression changes that occur during the formation of mature adipocytes from preadipocytes, we compared and characterised the transcriptome profile of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human adipose tissue, otherwise known as adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs), undergoing adipocyte differentiation on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 (representing the early to late stage process of adipogenesis). Microarray technique was systematically employed to study gene expression in adipose-derived stromal cells during adipogenic differentiation over a 21 day period to identify genes that are important in driving adipogenesis in humans.

View SamplesWe have reported previously that when chromosome Y (chrY) from the mouse strain C57BL/6J (abbreviated as B) was substituted for that of A/J mice (ChrY<A>), cardiomyocytes from the resulting 'chromosome substitution' C57BL/6J-chrY<A> strain (abbreviated as B.Y) were smaller than that of their C57BL/6J counterparts. In reverse, when chrY<A> from A/J mice was substituted for that of chrY<B>, cardiomyocytes from the resulting A/J-chrY<C57> strain were larger than in their A/J counterparts. We further used these strains (B and the consomic B.Y) to test whether the origin of chrY could also be linked to differences in the profile of gene expression in their cardiac left ventricles in adult mice where either sham surgery (intact animals) or castration has been performed at 3-4 weeks of age..
