Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor alpha (RORα), a candidate tumor suppressor, is prevalently downregulated or lost in malignant breast cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of how RORα expression is regulated in breast epithelial cells remain incompletely understood. Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), a type II methyltransferase catalyzing the symmetric methylation of the amino acid arginine in target proteins, was reported to regulate protein stability. To study whether and how PRMT5 regulates RORα, we examined the direct interaction between RORα and PRMT5 by immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays. The results showed that PRMT5 directly bound to RORα, and PRMT5 mainly symmetrically dimethylated the DNA-binding domain (DBD) but not the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of RORα. To investigate whether RORα protein stability is regulated by PRMT5, we transfected HEK293FT cells with RORα and PRMT5-expressing or PRMT5-silencing (shPRMT5) vectors and then examined RORα protein stability by a cycloheximide chase assay. The results showed that PRMT5 increased RORα protein stability, while silencing PRMT5 accelerated RORα protein degradation. In PRMT5-silenced mammary epithelial cells, RORα protein expression was decreased, accompanied by an enhanced epithelial-mesenchymal transition morphology and cell invasion and migration abilities. In PRMT5-overexpressed mammary epithelial cells, RORα protein was accumulated, and cell invasion was suppressed. These findings revealed a novel mechanism by which PRMT5 regulates RORα protein stability.

Rora Regulates Neutrophil Migration and Activation in Zebrafish.
Front Immunol

Article Synopsis
- Neutrophils play a crucial role in fighting pathogens, but their migration can also cause tissue damage.
- Researchers used microRNA overexpression to identify protein-coding genes that influence neutrophil movement, finding that miR-99 reduces chemotaxis in both zebrafish and human neutrophil-like cells.
- The study highlights that RORα, targeted by miR-99, is vital for neutrophil migration and immune defense, as inhibiting it made zebrafish more vulnerable to bacterial infections.

RORα, the RAR-related orphan nuclear receptor alpha, is essential for cerebellar development. The spontaneous mutant mouse staggerer, with an ataxic gait caused by neurodegeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells, was discovered two decades ago to result from homozygous intragenic Rora deletions. However, RORA mutations were hitherto undocumented in humans.

The RAR-related orphan receptors (RORs) are members of the nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors. In this study, we examined the regulatory properties of RORα (CsRORα) and RORγ (CsRORγ) in tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). CsRORα and CsRORγ expression was detected in major lymphoid organs and altered to significant extents after bacterial and viral infection.

We report the characterization of a null mutant for zebrafish circadian clock gene period2 (per2) generated by transcription activator-like effector nuclease and a positive role of PER2 in vertebrate circadian regulation. Locomotor experiments showed that per2 mutant zebrafish display reduced activities under light-dark and 2-h phase delay under constant darkness, and quantitative real time PCR analyses showed up-regulation of cry1aa, cry1ba, cry1bb, and aanat2 but down-regulation of per1b, per3, and bmal1b in per2 mutant zebrafish, suggesting that Per2 is essential for the zebrafish circadian clock. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that Per2 represses aanat2 expression through E-box and enhances bmal1b expression through the Ror/Rev-erb response element, implicating that Per2 plays dual roles in the zebrafish circadian clock.

To identify circadian patterns of gene expression in skeletal muscle, adult male zebrafish were acclimated for 2 wk to a 12:12-h light-dark photoperiod and then exposed to continuous darkness for 86 h with ad libitum feeding. The increase in gut food content associated with the subjective light period was much diminished by the third cycle, enabling feeding and circadian rhythms to be distinguished. Expression of zebrafish paralogs of mammalian transcriptional activators of the circadian mechanism (bmal1, clock1, and rora) followed a rhythmic pattern with a ∼24-h periodicity.
