hnRNP K protein, which localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria, is involved in the various cellular processes that compose gene expression. We used a SAGE-based assay to profile RNAs associated with hnRNP K protein in rat mitochondria. RNA was isolated from mitoplasts obtained from highly purified and RNase-treated mitochondria. Total RNA and RNA associated with hnRNP K protein were then used as input material for generating two SAGE libraries. Mitochondrion-derived tags isolated from the total mitoplast RNA library represented 86.3%, while those isolated from the library constructed from RNA associated with hnRNP K protein represented only 28.2% of selected tags. Thus, an unexpected number of nuclear-encoded RNAs were purified from mitochondria. Many of these transcripts were co-purified with hnRNP K protein, and high levels of nuclear-encoded RNAs co-immunoprecipitating with K protein corresponded to elevated hnRNP K protein levels of the organelle. The most abundant RNAs that were co-purified with hnRNP K protein represented transcripts originating from satellite I DNA. While satellite I RNA levels were higher in the nucleus and cytoplasm than in mitochondria, the most abundant binding of satellite I transcripts to hnRNP K protein was found in mitochondria. The role of satellite I RNA in mitochondria remains to be elucidated.

Human mitochondrial polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) is an exoribonuclease localized in mitochondria. The exact physiological function of this enzyme is unknown. Recent studies have revealed the existence of a relationship between induction of hPNPase mRNA and both cellular senescence and growth arrest of melanoma cells following β-interferon treatment. The aim of this study was to verify whether the augmented hPNPase mRNA level results in increase of the protein level. In several cell lines established from five metastatic melanoma patients we did not find any such correlation. However, an elevated level of hPNPase protein was observed in interferon-induced HeLa and Jurkat cells. This increase was correlated with a slight shortening of poly(A) tails of mitochondrial ND3 transcript.

Colon anastomosis is therapeutically challenging because multiple, usually undetectable factors influence a spectrum of repair mechanisms. We hypothesized that low molecular weight heparins, routinely administered perioperatively, may differentially affect gene expression related to colon healing. Twenty pairs of untreated and enoxaparin-treated rats underwent left-side hemicolectomy with a primary end-to-end anastomosis. Normal colon and anastomotic bowel segments were resected on day 0 and on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after surgery, respectively. Serial anastomosis transverse cross-sections were evaluated microscopically and by microarray (Rat Genome 230 2.0, Affymetrix). Differentially expressed probe sets were annotated with Gene Ontology. We also examined the influence of enoxaparin on fibroblast proliferation and viability in vitro. Among the 5476 probe sets, we identified differential expression at each healing time point, yielding 79 subcategories. Most indicated genes were involved in wound healing, including multicellular organismal development, locomotory behavior, immune response, cell adhesion, inflammatory response, cell-cell signaling, blood vessel development, and tissue remodeling. Although we found no intensity differences in histological features of healing between enoxaparin-treated and control rats, treatment did induce significant expression changes during early healing. Of these changes, 83 probe sets exhibited at least twofold changes and represented different functional annotations, including inflammatory response, regulation of transcription, regulation of apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Fibroblast culture confirmed an anti-viability effect of enoxaparin. Enoxaparin affects colon wound-related gene expression profiles, but further studies will resolve whether heparin treatment is a risk factor after intestinal surgery, at least in some patients.
