We here perform a nuclear knockdown of Malat1 in mouse embryonic stem cells, causing the de-regulation of 320 genes and aberrant splicing of 90 transcripts, some of which potentially affecting the translated protein sequence. We find evidence that Malat1 directly interacts with gene bodies and aberrantly spliced transcripts, and that it locates upstream of down-regulated genes at their putative enhancer regions, in agreement with functional genomics data. Consistent with this, we find these genes affected at both exon and intron levels, suggesting that they are transcriptionally regulated by Malat1. Besides, the down-regulated genes are regulated by specific transcription factors and bear both activating and repressive chromatin marks, suggesting that some of them might be regulated by bivalent promoters. We propose a model in which Malat1 facilitates the transcription of genes involved in chromatid dynamics and mitosis in one pathway, and affects the splicing of transcripts that are themselves involved in RNA processing in a distinct pathway.

GEMLI allows to study heritable gene expression, to discriminate symmetric and asymmetric cell fate decisions and to reconstruct individual multicellular structures from pooled scRNA-seq datasets. In human breast cancer biopsies, GEMLI reveals previously unknown gene expression changes at the onset of cancer invasiveness. The universal applicability of GEMLI allows studying the role of small cell lineages in a wide range of physiological and pathological contexts, notably in vivo.

of microRNAs in the human genome has become a controversially debated issue. Several publications reported thousands of putative novel microRNAs not included in the curated microRNA gene database MirGeneDB and the repository miRBase. Recently, by using sequencing of \u223c300 human tissues and cell lines, the human RNA atlas, an expanded inventory of human RNA annotations, was published, reporting thousands of putative microRNAs. We, the developers of established microRNA prediction tools and hosts of MirGeneDB, raise concerns about the frequently applied prediction and functional validation strategies, briefly discussing the drawbacks of false positive detections. By means of quantifying well-established biogenesis-derived features, we show that the reported novel microRNAs essentially represent false-positives and argue that the human microRNA complement, at about 550 microRNA genes, is already near complete.

They also have a role in alternative splicing, which has been shown for BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes at a few genes. Here, we have identified a subset of genes which harbour alternative exons that are affected by SWI/SNF ATPases by expressing the ATPases BRG1 and BRM in C33A cells, a BRG1- and BRM-deficient cell line, and analysed the effect on splicing by RNA sequencing. BRG1- and BRM-affected sub-sets of genes favouring both exon inclusion and exon skipping, with only a minor overlap between the ATPase. Some of the changes in alternative splicing induced by BRG1 and BRM expression did not require the ATPase activity. The BRG1-ATPase independent included exons displayed an exon signature of a high GC content. By investigating three genes with exons affected by the BRG-ATPase-deficient variant, we show that these exons accumulated phosphorylated RNA pol II CTD, both serine 2 and serine 5 phosphorylation, without an enrichment of the RNA polymerase II. The ATPases were recruited to the alternative exons, together with both core and signature subunits of SWI/SNF complexes, and promoted the binding of RNA binding factors to chromatin and RNA at the alternative exons.

Adhering to uniform and consistent criteria for microRNA annotation and nomenclature, we substantially expanded MirGeneDB with 30 additional species representing previously missing metazoan phyla such as sponges, jellyfish, rotifers and flatworms. MirGeneDB 2.1 now consists of 75 species spanning over \u223c800 million years of animal evolution, and contains a total number of 16 670 microRNAs from 1549 families. Over 6000 microRNAs were added in this update using \u223c550 datasets with \u223c7.5 billion sequencing reads. By adding new phylogenetically important species, especially those relevant for the study of whole genome duplication events, and through updating evolutionary nodes of origin for many families and genes, we were able to substantially refine our nomenclature system. All changes are traceable in the specifically developed MirGeneDB version tracker. The performance of read-pages is improved and microRNA expression matrices for all tissues and species are now also downloadable. Altogether, this update represents a significant step toward a complete sampling of all major metazoan phyla, and a widely needed foundation for comparative microRNA genomics and transcriptomics studies.

Recent analyses have shown that, under favorable conditions, RNA can also be sequenced from ancient samples, enabling studies at the transcriptomic and regulatory level. Analyzing ancient RNA data from a Pleistocene canid, we find hundreds of intact microRNAs that are taxonomically informative, show tissue specificity and have functionally predictive characteristics. With an extraordinary age of 14,300 yr, these microRNA sequences are by far the oldest ever reported. The authenticity of the sequences is further supported by (i) the presence of canid/Caniformia-specific sequences that never evolved outside of this clade, (ii) tissue-specific expression patterns (cartilage, liver, and muscle) that resemble those of modern dogs, and (iii) RNA damage patterns that are clearly distinct from those of fresh samples. By performing computational microRNA-target enrichment analyses on the ancient sequences, we predict microRNA functions consistent with their tissue pattern of expression. For instance, we find a liver-specific microRNA that regulates carbohydrate metabolism and starvation responses in canids. In summary, we show that straightforward paleotranscriptomic microRNA analyses can give functional glimpses into tissue identity, cellular composition, and gene regulatory activity of ancient samples and biological processes that took place in the Pleistocene, thus holding great promise for deeper insights into gene regulation in extinct animals based on ancient RNA sequencing.", "doi": "10.1261/rna.078410.120", "pmid": "33323528", "labels": {"Marc Friedl\u00e4nder": "", "SciLifeLab Fellow": "", "DDLS Fellow": "", "Marcel Tarbier": ""}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC7901840"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "rna.078410.120"}, {"db": "medline", "key": "9509184"}], "notes": [], "created": "2021-11-30T16:02:53.166Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T12:06:52.341Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "fadaef0a539e475f9813f623d8ab7b22", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/fadaef0a539e475f9813f623d8ab7b22.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/fadaef0a539e475f9813f623d8ab7b22"}}, "title": "Circulating miRNA Spaceflight Signature Reveals Targets for Countermeasure Development.", "authors": [{"family": "Malkani", "given": "Sherina", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Chin", "given": "Christopher R", "initials": "CR"}, {"family": "Cekanaviciute", "given": "Egle", "initials": "E"}, {"family": "Mortreux", "given": "Marie", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Okinula", "given": "Hazeem", "initials": "H"}, {"family": "Tarbier", "given": "Marcel", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Schreurs", "given": "Ann-Sofie", "initials": "AS"}, {"family": "Shirazi-Fard", "given": "Yasaman", "initials": "Y"}, {"family": "Tahimic", "given": "Candice G T", "initials": "CGT"}, {"family": "Rodriguez", "given": "Deyra N", "initials": "DN"}, {"family": "Sexton", "given": "Brittany S", "initials": "BS"}, {"family": "Butler", "given": "Daniel", "initials": "D"}, {"family": "Verma", "given": "Akanksha", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Bezdan", "given": "Daniela", "initials": "D"}, {"family": "Durmaz", "given": "Ceyda", "initials": "C"}, {"family": "MacKay", "given": "Matthew", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Melnick", "given": "Ari", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Meydan", "given": "Cem", "initials": "C"}, {"family": "Li", "given": "Sheng", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Garrett-Bakelman", "given": "Francine", "initials": "F"}, {"family": "Fromm", "given": "Bastian", "initials": "B"}, {"family": "Afshinnekoo", "given": "Ebrahim", "initials": "E"}, {"family": "Langhorst", "given": "Brad W", "initials": "BW"}, {"family": "Dimalanta", "given": "Eileen T", "initials": "ET"}, {"family": "Cheng-Campbell", "given": "Margareth", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Blaber", "given": "Elizabeth", "initials": "E"}, {"family": "Schisler", "given": "Jonathan C", "initials": "JC"}, {"family": "Vanderburg", "given": "Charles", "initials": "C"}, {"family": "Friedl\u00e4nder", "given": "Marc R", "initials": "MR"}, {"family": "McDonald", "given": "J Tyson", "initials": "JT"}, {"family": "Costes", "given": "Sylvain V", "initials": "SV"}, {"family": "Rutkove", "given": "Seward", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Grabham", "given": "Peter", "initials": "P"}, {"family": "Mason", "given": "Christopher E", "initials": "CE"}, {"family": "Beheshti", "given": "Afshin", "initials": "A"}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2020-12-08", "journal": {"title": "Cell Reports", "issn": "2211-1247", "volume": "33", "issue": "10", "pages": "108448", "issn-l": null}, "abstract": "We have identified and validated a spaceflight-associated microRNA (miRNA) signature that is shared by rodents and humans in response to simulated, short-duration and long-duration spaceflight.

breaks (DSBs), that transcripts at DSBs are processed by Drosha and Dicer into damage-induced small RNAs (diRNAs), and that diRNAs are required for DNA repair. However, diRNAs have been mostly detected in reporter constructs or repetitive sequences, and their existence at endogenous loci has been questioned by recent reports. Using the homing endonuclease I-PpoI, we have investigated diRNA production in genetically unperturbed human and mouse cells. I-PpoI is an ideal tool to clarify the requirements for diRNA production because it induces DSBs in different types of loci: the repetitive 28S locus, unique genes and intergenic loci. We show by extensive sequencing that the rDNA locus produces substantial levels of diRNAs, whereas unique genic and intergenic loci do not. Further characterization of diRNAs emerging from the 28S locus reveals the existence of two diRNA subtypes. Surprisingly, Drosha and its partner DGCR8 are dispensable for diRNA production and only one diRNAs subtype depends on Dicer processing. Furthermore, we provide evidence that diRNAs are incorporated into Argonaute. Our findings provide direct evidence for diRNA production at endogenous loci in mammalian cells and give insights into RNA processing at DSBs.", "doi": "10.1093/nar/gky1107", "pmid": "30418607", "labels": {"Marc Friedl\u00e4nder": "", "SciLifeLab Fellow": "", "Marcel Tarbier": "", "DDLS Fellow": ""}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC6294500"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "5168823"}], "notes": [], "created": "2020-10-12T12:02:26.645Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T07:48:54.096Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "66308a0abc1b40a7babb2464cf69bf2a", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/66308a0abc1b40a7babb2464cf69bf2a.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/66308a0abc1b40a7babb2464cf69bf2a"}}, "title": "Control of hepatic gluconeogenesis by Argonaute2.", "authors": [{"family": "Yan", "given": "Xin", "initials": "X", "orcid": "0000-0002-9135-7915", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/64c45d84ade64e3f945873ad5a81f94e.json"}}, {"family": "Wang", "given": "Zhen", "initials": "Z"}, {"family": "Bishop", "given": "Christopher A", "initials": "CA"}, {"family": "Weitkunat", "given": "Karolin", "initials": "K"}, {"family": "Feng", "given": "Xiao", "initials": "X"}, {"family": "Tarbier", "given": "Marcel", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Luo", "given": "Jiankai", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Friedl\u00e4nder", "given": "Marc R", "initials": "MR"}, {"family": "Burkhardt", "given": "Ralph", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Klaus", "given": "Susanne", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Willnow", "given": "Thomas E", "initials": "TE"}, {"family": "Poy", "given": "Matthew N", "initials": "MN", "orcid": "0000-0002-4904-2426", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/89f1b6fe353445ae94dce345963755af.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2018-12-00", "journal": {"title": "Mol Metab", "issn": "2212-8778", "issn-l": "2212-8778", "volume": "18", "issue": null, "pages": "15-24"}, "abstract": "The liver performs a central role in regulating energy homeostasis by increasing glucose output during fasting. Recent studies on Argonaute2 (Ago2), a key RNA-binding protein mediating the microRNA pathway, have illustrated its role in adaptive mechanisms according to changes in metabolic demand. Here we sought to characterize the functional role of Ago2 in the liver in the maintenance of systemic glucose homeostasis.\n\nWe first analyzed Ago2 expression in mouse primary hepatocyte cultures after modulating extracellular glucose concentrations and in the presence of activators or inhibitors of glucokinase activity. We then characterized a conditional loss-of-function mouse model of Ago2 in liver for alterations in systemic energy metabolism.\n\nHere we show that Ago2 expression in liver is directly correlated to extracellular glucose concentrations and that modulating glucokinase activity is adequate to affect hepatic Ago2 levels. Conditional deletion of Ago2 in liver resulted in decreased fasting glucose levels in addition to reducing hepatic glucose production. Moreover, loss of Ago2 promoted hepatic expression of AMP-activated protein kinase \u03b11 (AMPK\u03b11) by de-repressing its targeting by miR-148a, an abundant microRNA in the liver. Deletion of Ago2 from hyperglycemic, obese, and insulin-resistant Lepob/ob mice reduced both random and fasted blood glucose levels and body weight and improved insulin sensitivity.\n\nThese data illustrate a central role for Ago2 in the adaptive response of the liver to fasting.

Insulin receptor signaling through AKT and FOXO has important metabolic effects that have traditionally been ascribed to regulation of gene expression. However, whether all the metabolic effects of FOXO arise from its regulation of protein-encoding mRNAs is unknown.\n\nTo address this question, we obtained expression profiles of FOXO-regulated murine hepatic microRNAs (miRNAs) during fasting and refeeding using mice lacking Foxo1, 3a, and 4 in liver (L-Foxo1,3a, 4).\n\nOut of 439 miRNA analyzed, 175 were differentially expressed in Foxo knockouts. Their functions were associated with insulin, Wnt, Mapk signaling, and aging. Among them, we report a striking increase of miR-205-5p expression in L-Foxo1,3a,4 knockouts, as well as in obese mice. We show that miR-205-5p gain-of-function increases AKT phosphorylation and decreases SHIP2 in primary hepatocytes, resulting in FOXO inhibition. This results in decreased hepatocyte glucose production. Consistent with these observations, miR-205-5p gain-of-function in mice lowered glucose levels and improved pyruvate tolerance.\n\nThese findings reveal a homeostatic miRNA loop regulating insulin signaling, with potential implications for in vivo glucose metabolism.", "doi": "10.1016/j.molmet.2018.08.003", "pmid": "30174230", "labels": {"Marc Friedl\u00e4nder": "", "SciLifeLab Fellow": "", "Marcel Tarbier": "", "DDLS Fellow": ""}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC6197154"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "S2212-8778(18)30754-3"}], "notes": [], "created": "2020-10-12T12:03:05.046Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T10:24:26.735Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "57def0bc0a3a4045aadac7e748b61ed4", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/57def0bc0a3a4045aadac7e748b61ed4.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/57def0bc0a3a4045aadac7e748b61ed4"}}, "title": "Differential Impact of Glucose Administered Intravenously and Orally on Circulating miR-375 Levels in Human Subjects.", "authors": [{"family": "Yan", "given": "Xin", "initials": "X"}, {"family": "Wang", "given": "Zhen", "initials": "Z"}, {"family": "Westberg-Rasmussen", "given": "Sidse", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Tarbier", "given": "Marcel", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Rathjen", "given": "Thomas", "initials": "T"}, {"family": "Tattikota", "given": "Sudhir G", "initials": "SG"}, {"family": "Peck", "given": "Bailey C E", "initials": "BCE"}, {"family": "Kanke", "given": "Matt", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Oxvig", "given": "Claus", "initials": "C"}, {"family": "Frystyk", "given": "Jan", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Starup-Linde", "given": "Jakob", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Sethupathy", "given": "Praveen", "initials": "P"}, {"family": "Friedl\u00e4nder", "given": "Marc R", "initials": "MR"}, {"family": "Gregersen", "given": "S\u00f8ren", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Poy", "given": "Matthew N", "initials": "MN"}], "type": "clinical trial", "published": "2017-10-01", "journal": {"title": "J.
