  1. p53 downregulates Down syndrome-associated DYRK1A through miR-1246 Yu Zhang, Jun-Ming Liao, Shelya X Zeng and Hua Lu Indiana University School of Medicine Central South University, Hunan, China EMBO Reports 12:811-817 June 2011

  2. p63 There are three genes in the p53 family All bind DNA and affect transcription p63 and p73 are essential Nature Rev. Cancer 2:605

  3. p63 Each gene has two alternative promoters and several alternative splicing options The p63 gene encodes six different proteins Notice that DN isoforms lack TA domain Cell Death Diff. 13:962

  4. p63 Many genes have been reported to be activated by one or more family members But what about micro-RNAs (miRNAs)? Naturally occurring form of siRNA Humans encode at least 1,872 miRNAs p53 is known to alter the expression of many miRNAs. What about p63? Cell Cycle 11:2624

  5. p63 Activation of miRNAs Overexpression p63 or controls instead of transfection, cells were infected with recombinant adenoviruses p40 = DN-p63g no transactivation domain! Collect total mRNA from these cells Microarray experiment Targets on gene chips are complementary to miRNAs, not mRNAs Fig. 1A

  6. p63 Activation of miRNAs Collect total RNA from these cells Microarray experiment Targets on gene chips are complementary to miRNAs, not mRNAs Which two RNA samples do you want to compare? or multiple sets? Sent mRNAs to LC Sciences for microarray analysis ~2,500 miRNA probes on the microarray Fig. 1A

  7. p63 Activation of miRNAs TAp63g vs. GFP Table S1

  8. p63 Activation of miRNAs TAp63g vs. GFP 21-fold induction Table S1

  9. p63 Activation of miRNAs TAp63g vs. DN-p63g 28-fold induction Table S1

  10. p63 Activation of miRNAs Confirming that p63 activates miR-1246 in H1299 cells Overexpression or knockdown of p63 But how do we quantify miR-1246? Too small for a Northern blot RT-PCR (with some modifications for the small target size) Fig. 1CD

  11. p63 Activation of miRNAs Unfortunately, PCR isn’t very quantitative. tends to hit a maximal plateau of amplified DNA DNA stains are relatively insensitive and nonlinear need to assay DNA amount before that plateau is hit image from M. Hunt, Univ. South Carolina

  12. p63 Activation of miRNAs Solution is Real-Time PCR [also called quantitative PCR (qPCR)] qPCR monitors the amount of product made each cycle Option 1: SYBR green fluorescent dye binds dsDNA but not ssDNA fluoresces when bound to DNA

  13. p63 Activation of miRNAs Solution is Real-Time PCR [also called quantitative PCR (qPCR)] qPCR monitors the amount of product made each cycle Option 1: SYBR green fluorescent dye binds dsDNA but not ssDNA fluoresces when bound to DNA Option 2: Forward and Reverse PCR primers Also a primer in the middle One end has a Fluor; other end has a Quencher Middle primer is degraded during PCR, releasing the Fluor

  14. p63 Activation of miRNAs 10-fold dilution series of input cDNA. Monitor amplification over cycles Example qPCR with 10-fold serial dilutions of input DNA Notice that after 33 cycles the purple, red and blue dilutions all have the same amount of DNA (Total PCR Product) But if we look at which cycle they cross this threshold, we see the differences. image from M. Hunt, Univ. South Carolina
