exploring the potential role of disease causing mutation in a gene desert duplication of noncoding elements 5 of GRIA3 is associated with GRIA3 silencing and x linked intellectual disability
Human Mutation, 2012Co-Authors: Celine Bonnet, Christophe Philippe, Alice Masurelpaulet, Asma A Khan, Mylene Beridexheimer, Patrick Callier, Francine Mugneret, Christel Thauvinrobinet, Laurence Faivre, Philippe JonveauxAbstract:GRIA3 encodes glutamate receptor ionotropic AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) subunit 3 and has been previously involved in X-linked intellectual disability (ID). We report on a male proband with ID and epilepsy associated with a duplication mapping within a gene desert, 874-kb upstream of the GRIA3 gene. This 970-kb duplication is maternally inherited. The proband's mother has a skewed X chromosome-inactivation pattern in agreement with her normal cognitive function. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis indicates absence of GRIA3 mRNA in the proband lymphocytes relative to a wild-type control. Centromeric to the duplicated region, comparative genomic analysis showed a 2268-bp evolutionarily conserved region that could be a critical transcription factor binding-site for GRIA3 expression. The repositioning of distant-acting sequences, rather a missense/nonsense mutation, is considered to be causative for GRIA3-linked ID. This study illustrates the importance of high-resolution array-Comparative Genomic Hybridization analysis in exploring the potential role of disease-causing mutation in functional noncoding sequences.

aberrant GRIA3 transcripts with multi exon duplications in a family with x linked mental retardation
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2009Co-Authors: Celine Bonnet, B Leheup, M Beri, Christophe Philippe, Mariejose Gregoire, Philippe JonveauxAbstract:Investigation of chromosomal rearrangements in patients with mental retardation (MR) is particularly informative in the search for novel genes involved in MR. We report on a family with a genomic duplication at Xq25 identified by oligo array-CGH. Further characterization showed a partial tandem duplication of GRIA3 extending from exon 1 to exon 12. This duplication is present in two brothers with MR and on one allele in their sister with normal phenotype and completely skewed X-chromosome inactivation. The duplication is inherited from the mother, whose cognitive level is low and X-chromosome inactivation is random. This is the second family with partial duplication of GRIA3 associated with MR. GRIA3 expression studies in our case demonstrated a new mechanism for GRIA3 dysfunction with the presence of aberrant GRIA3 transcripts carrying multi-exon duplications leading to a frameshift. Our study gives additional support to the implication of GRIA3 in X-linked MR.

Nuclear respiratory factor 2 regulates the transcription of AMPA receptor subunit GluA2 (Gria2).
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 2014Co-Authors: Anusha Priya, Kaid Johar, Bindu Nair, Margaret T.t. Wong-rileyAbstract:Neuronal activity is highly dependent on energy metabolism. Nuclear respiratory factor 2 (NRF-2) tightly couples neuronal activity and energy metabolism by transcriptionally co-regulating all 13 subunits of an important energy-generating enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase (COX), as well as critical subunits of excitatory NMDA receptors. AMPA receptors are another major class of excitatory glutamatergic receptors that mediate most of the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. They are heterotetrameric proteins composed of various combinations of GluA1-4 subunits, with GluA2 being the most common one. We have previously shown that GluA2 (Gria2) is transcriptionally regulated by nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1) and specificity protein 4 (Sp4), which also regulate all subunits of COX. However, it was not known if NRF-2 also couples neuronal activity and energy metabolism by regulating subunits of the AMPA receptors. By means of multiple approaches, including electrophoretic mobility shift and supershift assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation, promoter mutations, real-time quantitative PCR, and western blot analysis, NRF-2 was found to functionally regulate the expression of Gria2, but not of Gria1, GRIA3, or Gria4 genes in neurons. By regulating the GluA2 subunit of the AMPA receptor, NRF-2 couples energy metabolism and neuronal activity at the transcriptional level through a concurrent and parallel mechanism with NRF-1 and Sp4.

Specificity protein 4 (Sp4) regulates the transcription of AMPA receptor subunit GluA2 (Gria2).
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 2014Co-Authors: Anusha Priya, Kaid Johar, Bindu Nair, Margaret T.t. Wong-rileyAbstract:The alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors are important glutamatergic receptors mediating fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. The regulation of the four subunits of AMPA receptors, GluA1-4, is poorly understood. Excitatory synaptic transmission is highly energy-demanding, and this energy is derived mainly from the oxidative pathway. Recently, we found that specificity factor regulates all subunits of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), a critical energy-generating enzyme. COX is also regulated by nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1), which transcriptionally controls the Gria2 (GluA2) gene of AMPA receptors. The goal of the present study was to test our hypothesis that Sp-factors (Sp1, Sp3, and/or Sp4) also regulate AMPA subunit genes. If so, we wish to determine if Sp-factors and NRF-1 function via a complementary, concurrent and parallel, or a combination of complementary and concurrent/parallel mechanism. By means of multiple approaches, including electrophoretic mobility shift and supershift assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation, promoter mutations, real-time quantitative PCR, and western blot analysis, we found that Sp4, but not Sp1 or Sp3, regulates the Gria2, but not Gria1, 3, or 4, subunit gene of the AMPA receptor in a concurrent and parallel manner with NRF-1. Thus, Sp4 and NRF-1 both mediate the tight coupling between neuronal activity and energy metabolism at the transcriptional level.

microrna 330 3p promotes brain metastasis and epithelial mesenchymal transition via GRIA3 in non small cell lung cancer
Aging, 2019Co-Authors: C Wei, Ruiguang Zhang, Qian Cai, Xican Gao, Fan Tong, Jihua Dong, Xiaorong DongAbstract:Brain metastasis (BM) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We sought to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that could serve as biomarkers to differentiate NSCLC patients with and without BM. Logistic regression was conducted with 122 NSCLC patients (60 without BM, 62 with BM) to assess the association between miRNAs and BM. We confirmed several risk factors for BM and revealed that serum miR-330-3p levels are higher in NSCLC patients with BM than that without BM. Overexpression of miR-330-3p promoted proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of NSCLC cells in vitro and NSCLC tumorigenesis in vivo. Knocking down miR-330-3p suppressed this metastatic phenotype. We identified putative miR-330-3p target genes by comparing mRNA microarray analysis data from A549 cells after miR-330-3p knockdown with candidate miR-330-3p target genes predicted by public bioinformatic tools and luciferase reporter assays. We found that GRIA3 is a target of miR-330-3p and that miR-330-3p stimulates EMT progress by mediating GRIA3-TGF-β1 interaction. Our results provide novel insight into the role of miR-330-3p in NSCLC metastasis, and suggest miR-330-3p may be a useful biomarker for identifying NSCLC with metastatic potential.

correction to microrna 330 3p promotes cell invasion and metastasis in non small cell lung cancer through GRIA3 by activating mapk erk signaling pathway
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2017Co-Authors: C Wei, Ruiguang Zhang, Qian Cai, Xican Gao, Fan Tong, Jihua Dong, Rui Zhou, Xiaorong DongAbstract:Brain metastasis (BM) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent studies demonstrated that microRNA-330-3p (miR-330-3p) was involved in NSCLC brain metastasis (BM). However, the exact parts played by miR-330-3p in BM of NSCLC remain unknown. Discovery and development of biomarkers and elucidation of the mechanism underlying BM in NSCLC is critical for effective prophylactic interventions. Here, we evaluated the expression and biological effects of miR-330-3p in NSCLC cells and explored the underlying mechanism of miR-330-3p in promoting cell migration and invasion in NSCLC. Stable over-expression and knockdown of miR-330-3p in NSCLC cells was constructed with lentivirus. Expression levels of miR-330-3p in NSCLC cells were quantified by quantitive real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The effects of miR-330-3p on NSCLC cells were investigated using assays of cell viability, migration, invasion, cell cycle, apoptosis, western blotting, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescence staining. A xenograft nude mouse model and in situ brain metastasis model were used to observe tumor growth and brain metastasis. The potential target of miR-330-3p in NSCLC cells was explored using the luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and western blotting. The miR-330-3p targets were identified using bioinformatics analysis and verified by luciferase reporter assay. The correlation between GRIA3 and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 and DNMT3A was tested by RT-PCR, western blotting, and co-immunoprecipitation (IP). miR-330-3p was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC cell lines. MTT assay, transwell migration, and invasion assays showed that miR-330-3p promoted the growth, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells in vitro and induced tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Luciferase reporter assays showed that GRIA3 was a target of miR-330-3p. qRT-PCR and western blotting exhibited that miR-330-3p promoted the growth, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells by activating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular-regulated protein kinases (ERK) signaling pathway. Furthermore, miR-330-3p up-regulated the total DNA methylation in NSCLC cells, and co-IP-demonstrated GRIA3 was directly related with DNMT1 and DNMT3A. miR-330-3p promoted the progression of NSCLC and might be a potential target for the further research of NSCLC brain metastasis.
