Abstract

Altered miRNA expression is believed to play a crucial role in a variety of human cancers; however, the mechanisms leading to the dysregulation of miRNA expression remain elusive. In this study, we report that the human Y box-binding protein (YB-1), a major mRNA packaging protein, is a novel modulator of miRNA processing in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Using individual nucleotide-resolution crosslinking immunoprecipitation coupled to deep sequencing (iCLIP-seq), we performed the first genome-wide analysis of the in vivo YB-1-RNA interactions and found that YB-1 preferentially recognizes a UYAUC consensus motif and binds to the majority of coding gene transcripts including pre-mRNAs and mature mRNAs. Remarkably, our data show that YB-1 also binds extensively to the terminal loop region of pri-/pre-miR-29b-2 and regulates the biogenesis of miR-29b-2 by blocking the recruitment of microprocessor and Dicer to its precursors. Furthermore, we show that down-regulation of miR-29b by YB-1, which is up-regulated in GBM, is important for cell proliferation. Together, our findings reveal a novel function of YB-1 in regulating non-coding RNA expression, which has important implications in tumorigenesis.

  • The hypothesis that miR-140-5p-G interferes with conserved RBP pathways is supported by the binding of YBX1 to several miR-140-5p-G target genes in a previously reported YBX1 iCLIP dataset.

    “This hypothesis is supported by the binding of YBX1 to several miR-140-5p-G target genes in a previously reported YBX1 individual nucleotide resolution crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) dataset”

    From Gain-of-function mutation of microRNA-140 in human skeletal dysplasia (2019) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Results ('Genome-wide mapping of YB-1-RNA interactions by iCLIP-seq'; page unavailable) identify this paper as a source of YBX1 iCLIP binding data, and the Discussion says its binding sites are enriched in coding genes. Our copy does not identify several miR-140-5p-G target genes as bound by YBX1, so it supports the dataset attribution but not that specific overlap. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Ybx1 seCLIP analysis identified a binding motif similar to the Ybx1 binding motif reported previously.

    “Next, Ybx1 seCLIP analysis identified a binding motif similar to the Ybx1 binding motif reported previously30–32”
  • Computational analysis suggested that the miR-140-5p-G seed in the Ago2 complex and the RBP Ybx1 potentially compete for the same RNA binding sites.

    “Computational analysis suggested that the miR-140-5p-G seed in the Ago2 complex and the RBP, Ybx1 (also known as YB-1), potentially compete for the same RNA binding sites”

    From Gain-of-function mutation of microRNA-140 in human skeletal dysplasia (2019) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Results section describes YB-1 binding to RNA and blocking DGCR8 and Dicer loading onto miR-29b-2 precursors. Our copy does not address computationally predicted competition between YB-1 and an Ago2-bound miR-140-5p-G seed for the same binding sites (searched: miR-140-5p-G, Ago2, and competition). (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
