    Abstract The nucleolus is the largest sub-nuclear domain, serving primarily as the place for ribosome biogenesis. A delicately regulated function of the nucleolus is vital to the cell not only for maintaining proper protein synthesis but is also tightly associated with responses to different types of cellular stresses. Recently, several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to be part of the regulatory network that modulate nucleolar functions. Several of these lncRNAs are encoded in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats or are transcribed from the genomic regions that are located near the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). In this review, we first discuss the current understanding of the sequence of the NORs and variations between different NORs. We then focus on the NOR-derived lncRNAs in mammalian cells and their functions in rRNA transcription and the organization of nucleolar structure under different cellular conditions. The identification of these lncRNAs reveals great potential of the NORs in harboring novel genes involved in the regulation of nucleolar functions.

    Abstract Abstract Most solid tumors become stiff with progression of cancer. Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), most abundant stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), are known to mediate such stiffening. While the biochemical crosstalk between CAFs and cancer cells have been widely investigated, it is not clear if and how CAFs in stiffer TME promote metastatic progression. To gather insights into the process, we controlled the mechanical stiffness of the substrates and collected gene expression data with human colorectal CAFs. We cultured human primary CAFs on 2D polyacrylamide hydrogels with increasing elastic modulus (E) of 1, 10 and 40 kPa, and performed genome-wide transcriptome analyses in these cells to identify expression levels of ~16000 genes. The high-quality RNAseq results can be an excellent data-source for bioinformatic analysis for identifying novel pathways and biomarkers in cancer development and metastatic progression. With thorough analysis and accurate interpretation, this data may help researchers understand the role of mechanical stiffness of the TME in CAF-cancer cell crosstalk.

    Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. LncRNAs play crucial regulatory roles in several biological processes via diverse mechanisms and their aberrant expression is associated with various diseases. LncRNA genes are further subcategorized based on their relative organization in the genome. MicroRNA (miRNA)-host-gene-derived lncRNAs (lnc-MIRHGs) refer to lncRNAs whose genes also harbor miRNAs. There exists crosstalk between the processing of lnc-MIRHGs and the biogenesis of the encoded miRNAs. Although the functions of the encoded miRNAs are usually well understood, whether those lnc-MIRHGs play independent functions are not fully elucidated. Here, we review our current understanding of lnc-MIRHGs, including their biogenesis, function, and mechanism of action, with a focus on discussing the miRNA-independent functions of lnc-MIRHGs, including their involvement in cancer. Our current understanding of lnc-MIRHGs strongly indicates that this class of lncRNAs could play important roles in basic cellular events as well as in diseases. This article is categorized under: Regulatory RNAs/RNAi/Riboswitches > Regulatory RNAs Regulatory RNAs/RNAi/Riboswitches > Biogenesis of Effector Small RNAs.

    Abstract While we are beginning to appreciate the cellular roles played by long noncoding RNAs, the function of transcripts emerging from repetitive genomic regions remains enigmatic. In this issue, Zovoilis et al. report that the polycomb protein EZH2, upon heat shock, facilitates transcription of stress-responsive genes by inducing the degradation of the transcriptional repressor B2 repeat RNA.

    Abstract Cell cycle progression plays a vital role in regulating proliferation, metabolism, and apoptosis. Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures have emerged as an important class of in vitro disease models, and incorporating the variation occurring from cell cycle progression in these systems is critical. Here, we report the use of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic imaging to identify subtle biochemical changes within cells, indicative of the G1/S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. Following previous studies, we first synchronized samples from two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, confirmed their states by flow cytometry and DNA quantification, and recorded spectra. We determined two critical wavenumbers (1059 and 1219 cm–¹) as spectral indicators of the cell cycle for a set of isogenic breast cancer cell lines (MCF10AT series). These two simple spectral markers were then applied to distinguish cell cycle stages in a 3D cell culture model using four cell lines that represent the main stages of cancer progression from normal cells to metastatic disease. Temporal dependence of spectral biomarkers during acini maturation validated the hypothesis that the cells are more proliferative in the early stages of acini development; later stages of the culture showed stability in the overall composition but unique spatial differences in cells in the two phases. Altogether, this study presents a computational and quantitative approach for cell phase analysis in tissue-like 3D structures without any biomarker staining and provides a means to characterize the impact of the cell cycle on 3D biological systems and disease diagnostic studies using IR imaging.

    Abstract The smallest subunit of the human Origin Recognition Complex, hOrc6, is required for DNA replication progression and plays an important role in mismatch repair (MMR) during S-phase. However, the molecular details of how hOrc6 regulates DNA replication and DNA damage response remain to be elucidated. Orc6 levels are elevated upon specific types of genotoxic stress, and it is phosphorylated at Thr229, predominantly during S-phase, in response to oxidative stress. Many repair pathways, including MMR, mediate oxidative DNA damage repair. Defects in MMR are linked to Lynch syndrome, predisposing patients to many cancers, including colorectal cancer. Orc6 levels are known to be elevated in colorectal cancers. Interestingly, tumor cells show reduced hOrc6-Thr229 phosphorylation compared to adjacent normal mucosa. Further, elevated expression of wild-type and the phospho-dead forms of Orc6 results in increased tumorigenicity, implying that in the absence of this "checkpoint" signal, cells proliferate unabated. Based on these results, we propose that DNA-damage-induced hOrc6-pThr229 phosphorylation during S-phase facilitates ATR signaling in the S-phase, halts fork progression, and enables assembly of repair factors to mediate efficient repair to prevent tumorigenesis. Our study provides novel insights into how hOrc6 regulates genome stability.
