Article Title: Local administration of 4-Thiouridine, a novel molecule with potent anti-inflammatory properties, protects against experimental colitis and arthritis.
Article Snippet: Previous studies in a rat model of Sephadex induced lung inflammation showed that 4-Thiouridine (4SU), a thiol substituted nucleoside, was very effective in reducing edema, leukocyte influx and TNF levels in bronchoalvelolar lavage fluid.. However, little is known about the factors and mechanisms underlying these effects.. In the present study, we have used two separate mouse models of chronic inflammation, a model of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) induced colitis and a model of antigen induced arthritis, to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of 4-thiouridine.

Biological and canonical tRNA strand reads aligned against reference sequences. (A) tRNA fMet , (B) tRNA Phe , and (C) tRNA Lys . In each panel (i) is base coverage along the reference sequence at each position (coverage plot) and (ii) is a randomly selected subset of individual aligned nanopore reads. The total numbers of aligned reads are shown to the left of the coverage plots. The positions of expected modifications on biological tRNA 3 are indicated above the coverage plots and are abbreviated: 4 = <t>4-thiouridine;</t> D = Dihydrouridine; B = 2′- O -methylcytidine; 7 = 7-methylguanosine; T = 5-methyluridine; P = pseudouridine; X = 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine; * = 2-methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenosine; S = 5-methyl-aminomethyl-2-thiouridine; and 6 = N6-threonylcarbamoyl-adenosine. Gray columns in the coverage plots indicate positions along the reference where 80% or more of the quality weighted reads are the expected canonical nucleotide. At positions where the value is under the 80% threshold, the proportion of each nucleotide call is shown in color where U(T) = red, A = green, C = blue, and G = gold. Similarly, the rows of individual aligned reads (A–C, ii) are gray at positions matching the reference and colored (using the previously mentioned convention) at positions with mismatches. The black horizontal bars in the aligned reads indicate a deletion, and purple bars indicate an insertion. The rows of aligned reads are presented as they were displayed on IGV.

Techniques: Sequencing

Systematic base miscalls in purified biological and canonical tRNA fMet , tRNA Lys , and tRNA Phe . The coverage plots (A–C) for biological and canonical synthetic tRNAs were generated from alignments using marginAlign. The number of aligned reads for each tRNA is shown under each coverage plot. Boxes surrounding base positions denote systematic miscalls (posterior probability of ≥30%). No systematic miscalls were identified in the synthetic canonical tRNAs. Colored bars are at positions where <80% of the quality weighted alignments match the reference. At these positions, the proportion of individual bases called are shown in color (U(T) = red, A = green, C = blue, and G = gold). The known modifications for the biological tRNAs 3 are indicated above the coverage plots. Modified nucleotides are indicated above the reference sequence with abbreviations (4 = 4-thiouridine, D = dihydrouridine, B = 2′- O -methylcytidine, 7 = 7-methylguanosine, T = 5-methyluridine, P = pseudouridine, X = 3-(3-amino-3-carboxy-propyl)uridine, * = 2-methylthio-N6- isopentenyladenosine, S = 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine, and 6 = N6-threonylcarbamoyl-adenosine). The falloff in 5′ coverage of synthetic tRNA Lys (B, lower panel) and tRNA Phe (C, lower panel) is likely due to incomplete 5′ phosphorylation of these substrates.

( C ) TP53 mRNA expression measured by RT-qPCR with a primer pair located in the 3′UTR in the indicated samples derived from HCT116 cells. KO, HCT116 TP53 -/- cells. Data are shown as mean +s.d. of n = 5 independent experiments after normalization to GAPDH . Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test with ***p<0.001, ns, not significant. ( D ) TP53 mRNA expression measured by RT-qPCR with a primer pair located in the CDS in the indicated samples derived from HCT116 cells. Data are shown as mean +s.d. of n = 5 independent experiments after normalization to GAPDH . Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test with ***p<0.001, ns, not significant. ( E ) Experimental setup to estimate TP53 mRNA half-life. Metabolic labeling with 4-thiouridine (4sU) was used to enrich newly transcribed mRNAs. The newly transcribed RNAs were thiol-alkylated and biotinylated, followed by Streptavidin pull-down. Their relative abundance was measured using RT-qPCR. ( F ) TP53 mRNA half-life obtained by 4sU labeling as described in (E) is shown for the indicated samples derived from HCT116 cells in the presence or absence of etoposide for 4 hr (Eto, 20 µM). Shown is mean + s.d. from n = 3 independent experiments. Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test with *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ns, not significant.
