Abstract

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that contribute to ribosome biogenesis and RNA splicing by modifying ribosomal RNA and spliceosome RNAs, respectively. We optimized a next-generation sequencing approach and a custom analysis pipeline to identify and quantify expression of snoRNAs in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and normal hematopoietic cell populations. We show that snoRNAs are expressed in a lineage- and development-specific fashion during hematopoiesis. The most striking examples involve snoRNAs located in 2 imprinted loci, which are highly expressed in hematopoietic progenitors and downregulated during myeloid differentiation. Although most snoRNAs are expressed at similar levels in AML cells compared with CD341, a subset of snoRNAs showed consistent differential expression, with the great majority of these being decreased in the AML samples. Analysis of host gene expression, splicing patterns, and whole-genome sequence data for mutational events did not identify transcriptional patterns or genetic alterations that account for these expression differences. These data provide a comprehensive analysis of the snoRNA transcriptome in normal and leukemic cells and should be helpful in the design of studies to define the contribution of snoRNAs to normal and malignant hematopoiesis.
