Popis: The nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) locus encodes two long non-coding (lnc)RNA isoforms that are upregulated in many tumours and dynamically expressed in response to stress. NEAT1 transcripts form ribonucleoprotein complexes with numerous RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to assemble paraspeckles and modulate the localisation and activity of gene regulatory enzymes as well as a subset of messenger (m)RNA transcripts. The investigation of the dynamic composition of NEAT1-associated proteins and mRNAs is critical to understand the function of NEAT1. Interestingly, a growing number of biochemical and genetic tools to assess NEAT1 interactomes has been reported. Here, we discuss the Hybridisation Proximity (HyPro) labeling technique in the context of NEAT1. HyPro labeling is a recently developed method to detect spatially ordered interactions of RNA-containing nuclear compartments in cultured human cells. After introducing NEAT1 and paraspeckles, we describe the advantages of the HyPro technology in the context of other methods to study RNA interactomes, and review the key findings in mapping NEAT1-associated RNA transcripts and protein binding partners. We further discuss the limitations and potential improvements of HyPro labeling, and conclude by delineating its applicability in paraspeckles-related cancer research.
