FAM46C is one of the most frequently mutated genes in multiple myeloma (MM) and encodes a protein of unknown function. Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, we demonstrate that FAM46C encodes an active cytoplasmic non-canonical poly(A) polymerase, which enhances mRNA stability and gene expression. Moreover, we also found that the reintroduction of active FAM46C into MM cell lines, but not its catalytically-inactive mutant, leads to broad polyadenylation and stabilization of mRNAs strongly enriched with those encoding endoplasmic reticulum-targeted proteins and induced cell death. This is, to our knowledge, the first report that directly associates cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase with carcinogenesis. Furthermore, our data suggest that the human genome encodes at least eleven non-canonical poly(A) polymerases with four FAM46 family members. Since FAM46 proteins are differentially expressed during development, these proteins may positively regulate transcript stability and translational rate in a tissue-specific manner. Overall design: The H929 and SKMM1 MM cells were transduced with lentiviruses carrying FAM46CWTGFP (WT) or FAM46CD90A,D92AGFP (catalitic mutant). 72h after transgene delivery total RNA was extracted and RNA-seq libraries were prepared.
The non-canonical poly(A) polymerase FAM46C acts as an onco-suppressor in multiple myeloma.

View SamplesRecently, a novel protein in the influenza virus segment 3 has been identified, namely PA-X. This small protein has been reported to play a role in modulating host response of the 1918 H1N1 pandemic virus-infected mice. However, poteinal role of this protein in the pathogenicity and regulating host response of the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus in a chicken animal model is completely unknown.

View SamplesThe physiological role of the spliced form of X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1s), a key transcription factor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, in adipose tissue remains largely unknown. Here we show that overexpression of XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization in adipocytes, thereby regulating systemic glucose homeostasis. Ectopic expression of XBP1s in adipocytes improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese (ob/ob) mice. The beneficial effect of adipocyte XBP1s on glucose homeostasis is associated with elevated serum levels of HMW adiponectin and indeed, is adiponectin dependent. Mechanistically, XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization rather than activating its transcription likely through a direct regulation of the expression of several ER-chaperones involved in adiponectin maturation, including Grp78, Pdia6, ERp44 and DsbA-L. Thus, we conclude that XBP1s is an important regulator of adiponectin multimerization, which may lead to a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and hypoadiponectinemia.

View SamplesTo identify gene expression changes associated with treatment of EV that carry high levels of miR-105 (from MDA-MB-231 and MCF10A/miR-105 cells) in human breast tumor derived CAF, we analyzed RNA isolated from PBS- or EV-treated CAF. Gene expression in CAF treated with EV from MDA-MB-231 or MCF10A/miR-105 cells was compared to cells treated with PBS or EV from MCF10A cells, both of which served as controls in this experiment. Overall design: RNA was extracted from PBS- and EV-treated CAF, and subjected to library construction and RNA sequencing.

Gene expression in cells overexpressing miR-105 or MYC was compared to cells expressing the empty vector or GFP, both of which served as controls in this experiment. Overall design: RNA was extracted from MCF10A cells stably expressing pBabe vector, pBabe-GFP, pBabe-miR-105, or pBabe-MYC; RNA was then subjected to library construction and RNA sequencing.
