Abstract: | Neat1 is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that serves as an architectural component of the nuclear bodies known as para-speckles. Two isoforms of Neat1, the short isoform Neat1_1 and the long isoform Neat1_2, are generated from the same gene locus by alternative 3' processing. Neat1_1 is the most abundant and the best conserved isoform expressed in various cell types, whereas Neat1_2 is expressed in a small population of particular cell types, including the tip cells of the intestinal epithelium. To investigate the physiological significance of isoform switching, we created mutant mice that solely expressed Neat1_2 by deleting the upstream polyadenylation ( poly-A) signal (PAS) required for the production of Neat1_1. We observed the loss of Neat1_1 and strong up-regulation of Neat1_2 in various tissues and cells and the subsequent hyperformation of paraspeckles, especially in cells that normally express Neat1_2. However, the mutant mice were born at the expected Mendelian ratios and did not exhibit obvious external and histological abnormalities. These observations suggested that the hyperformation of paraspeckles does not interfere with the development and growth of these animals under normal laboratory conditions. |
