A genome-wide computational approach to define microRNA-Polycomb/trithorax gene regulatory circuits in Drosophila: microRNA-Polycomb/trithorax circuits

Characterization of gene regulatory networks is fundamental to understanding homeostatic development. This process can be simplified by analyzing relatively simple genomes such as the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. In this work we have developed a computational framework in Drosophila to explore...

This process can be simplified by analyzing relatively simple genomes such as the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. In this work we have developed a computational framework in Drosophila to explore for the presence of gene regulatory circuits between two large groups of transcriptional regulators: the epigenetic group of the Polycomb/trithorax (PcG/trxG) proteins and the microRNAs (miRNAs). We have searched genome-wide for miRNA targets in PcG/trxG transcripts as well as for Polycomb Response Elements (PREs) in miRNA genes. Our results show that 10% of the analyzed miRNAs could be controlling PcG/trxG gene expression, while 40% of those miRNAs are putatively controlled by the selected set of PcG/trxG proteins. The integration of these analyses has resulted in the predicted existence of 3 classes of miRNA-PcG/trxG crosstalk interactions that define potential regulatory circuits. In the first class, miRNA-PcG circuits are defined by miRNAs that reciprocally crosstalk with PcG. In the second, miRNA-trxG circuits are defined by miRNAs that reciprocally crosstalk with trxG. In the third class, miRNA-PcG/trxG shared circuits are defined by miRNAs that crosstalk with both PcG and trxG regulators. These putative regulatory circuits may uncover a novel mechanism in Drosophila for the control of PcG/trxG and miRNAs levels of expression. The computational framework developed here for Drosophila melanogaster can serve as a model case for similar analyses in other species. Moreover, our work provides, for the first time, a new and useful resource for the Drosophila community to consult prior to experimental studies investigating the epigenetic regulatory networks of miRNA-PcG/trxG mediated gene expression.This work was supported by PID2020-114533 ​GB-C21 grant from Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación/Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and by institutional grants from Fundación Areces and Banco Santander.Academic PressAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2024202420232024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/341717reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
