View SamplesThe Photo-Activatable Ribonucleoside-enhanced CrossLinking and ImmunoPrecipitation (PAR-CLIP) method was recently developed for global identification of RNAs interacting with proteins. The strength of this versatile method results from induction of specific T to C transitions at sites of interaction. However, current analytical tools do not distinguish between non-experimentally and experimentally induced transitions. Furthermore, geometric properties at potential binding sites are not taken into account. To surmount these shortcomings, we developed a two-step algorithm consisting of a non-parametric two-component mixture model and a wavelet-based peak calling procedure. Our algorithm can reduce the number of false positives up to 24% thereby identifying high confidence interaction sites. We successfully employed this approach in conjunction with a modified PAR-CLIP protocol to study the functional role of nuclear MOV10, a putative RNA helicase interacting with Argonaute2 and Polycomb. Our method, available as the R package wavClusteR, is generally applicable to any substitution-based inference problem in genomics. Overall design: The data comprises one MOV10 PAR-CLIP data file and one nuclear RNA-seq file
Mixture models and wavelet transforms reveal high confidence RNA-protein interaction sites in MOV10 PAR-CLIP data.

View SamplesMany cancers are postulated to harbor developmental hierarchies in which cells display variability in stem-like character, tumor propagating ability, and proliferation. In glioblastoma (GBM), glioma stem cells (GSCs) reside atop such a tumor cellular hierarchy, and are thought to resist current therapies and thus underlie inevitable relapse. Here we show that GSCs can evade RTK inhibition by reversibly regressing to a slow-cycling state reminiscent of quiescent neural stem cells. This process involves up-regulation of numerous histone demethylases, including KDM6A/B, which remodel the chromatin landscape and are selectively essential for drug persister survival. Chromatin remodeling is accompanied by activation of various neurodevelopmental master regulators and Notch signaling, changes which closely parallel critical aspects of neural stem cell biology. Thus our findings illustrate how cancer cells may hijack native developmental programs for deranged proliferation, adaptation, and tolerance in the face of stress. Our studies highlight key roles for chromatin remodeling and developmental plasticity in GBM biology, and suggest strategies for overcoming therapeutic resistance by targeting epigenetic and developmental pathways.
