Human NTERA2 (NT2/D1) cells lines: Genomewide distribution of ZRF1 at gene promoters during RA administration

ABSTRACT: Chip-on-chip experiment with NT2 wildtype cells untreated (0 h) or treated with Retinoic Acid (1h and 3 h) at 0.01 µM. The goal was to determine the genome-wide occupancy of ZRF1 at gene promoters in undifferentiated cells and at the onset of differentiation. Three-condition experiment. Biological replicates: NT2 cells were treated with or without RA on three different days from cycling NT2 cells (0h, 1h and 3h of RA). Chromatin was prepared and a triplicate of IPs was performed with specific ZRF1 antibodies for every condition. A triplicate of control IPs was performed with IgGs.

Covalent modification of histones is fundamental in orchestrating chromatin dynamics and transcription. One example of such an epigenetic mark is the mono-ubiquitination of histones, which mainly occurs at histone H2A and H2B. Ubiquitination of histone H2A has been implicated in polycomb-mediated transcriptional silencing. However, the precise role of the ubiquitin mark during silencing is still elusive. Here we show in human cell lines that ZRF1 (zuotin-related factor 1) is specifically recruit ...[more]

Project description:Cell-and context-specific activities of nuclear receptors may in part be due to distinct coregulator complexes recruited to distinct subsets of target genes. RIP140 (also called NRIP1) is a ligand-dependent corepressor that is inducible with retinoic acid (RA). We have shown previously that silencing of RIP140 enhances RA-induced differentiation and enhances the induction of model RA target genes in human embryonal carcinoma cells (EC). Through use of microarray technology we sought to elucidate in a de novo fashion the global role of RIP140 in RA-dependent signaling. RIP140-dependent gene expression was largely consistent with RIP140 functioning to limit RAR signaling. Few if any genes were regulated in a manner to support a role for RIP140 in â??active repressionâ??. Interestingly, approximately half of the RA-dependent genes were unaffected by RIP140, suggesting that RIP140 may discriminate between different classes of RA target genes. RIP140 silencing also accelerated RA target gene activation and sensitized EC cells to low doses of RA. Together the data suggests that the RIP140-dependent RA target genes identified here may be particularly important in mediating RA-induced tumor cell differentiation. RIP140 may be an attractive target to sensitize tumor cells to retinoid-based differentiation therapy. Experiment Overall Design: The current investigation sought to determine the global effects of RIP140 on RA-dependent and RAâ??independent gene expression. A dose of siRNA of 90 nM was chosen. Twelve independent hybridizations were performed from mRNA isolated from 12 independent samples. One scrambled and two independent RISC-free siRNA transfections and transfections with three distinct RIP140 siRNAs were performed in NT2/D1 cells. Each siRNA treatment was further treated with either 10 Î¼M RA or DMSO control for 24 hours. Hence, the design consisted of four groups, the three siRNA controls treated with vehicle, Group 1; the siRNA controls treated with RA, Group 2; siRNA to RIP140 treated with vehicle, Group 3; and siRNA to RIP140 treated with RA, Group 4 . Experiment Overall Design: The treatments were done in the presence of normal sera, since charcoal absorption of sera removes many small hydrophobic ligands to the nuclear receptor family in addition to retinoids. This measure was taken with the aim to perhaps identify target genes of other nuclear receptors including orphan receptors that could be regulated by RIP140 in the presence of low levels of their cognate ligands. RA treatment of 10 Î¼M for 24 hours was chosen since previous experience with NT2/D1 cells indicated that a reasonably sized set of altered genes would be obtained. In addition, NT2/D1 cells commit to RA-induced differentiation by 48 hours and RIP140 repression enhances and accelerates the effects of RA in these cells. Therefore, the 24-hour time point is well-within the range of the RA commitment â??windowâ?? and a larger percentage of direct RA-target genes could be expect to be uncovered compared to later time points. Experiment Overall Design: Based on the current understanding of the properties of RIP140, a number of potential outcomes were anticipated: 1) RIP140 may limit RA target gene activation by negative-feedback inhibition upon RA addition, 2) RIP140 may participate in â??active repressionâ?? of gene expression upon RA addition, 3) an unexpected outcome that RIP140 may participate in the activation of a subset of target genes, 4) RIP140 may regulate the transcription of target genes of other nuclear receptors or even non-nuclear receptor transcription factors. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified using RNeasy columns (Qiagen). Hybridizations were performed according to Affymetrix guidelines at the Dartmouth College Microarray Shared Resource using an Affymetrix GeneChip Workstation. Biotin-labeled cRNA was generated from 5 Î¼g of total RNA and hybridized to the Human Genome (HG) U133 Plus 2.0 chip A total of 12 hybridizations were performed comprising 12-independent biologic samples organized into the four groups of three.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs predicted to regulate one third of protein-coding genes via mRNA targeting. In conjunction with key transcription factors, such as the repressor REST (RE1 silencing transcription factor), miRNAs play crucial roles in neurogenesis, which requires a highly orchestrated program of gene expression to ensure the appropriate development and function of diverse neural cell types. Whilst previous studies have highlighted select groups of miRNAs during neural development, there remains a need for amenable models in which miRNA expression and function can be analyzed over the duration of neurogenesis. Principal Findings: We performed large-scale expression profiling of miRNAs in human NTera2/D1 (NT2) cells during retinoic acid (RA)-induced transition from progenitors to fully differentiated neural phenotypes. Our results revealed dynamic changes of miRNA patterns, resulting in distinct miRNA subsets that could be linked to specific neurodevelopmental stages. Moreover, the cell-type specific miRNA subsets were very similar in NT2-derived differentiated cells and human primary neurons and astrocytes. Further analysis identified miRNAs as putative regulators of REST, as well as candidate miRNAs targeted by REST. Finally, we confirmed the existence of two predicted miRNAs; pred-MIR191 and pred-MIR222 associated with SLAIN1 and FOXP2, respectively, and provided some evidence of their potential co-regulation. Conclusions: In the present study, we demonstrate that regulation of miRNAs occurs in precise patterns indicative of their roles in cell fate commitment, progenitor expansion and differentiation into neurons and glia. Furthermore, the similarity between our NT2 system and primary human cells suggests their roles in molecular pathways critical for human in vivo neurogenesis. The experiment consists of a total of 51 arrays: 29 retinoic acid time series arrays (0,2,4,6,8,12,14,21 and 28 days), 2 each of NT2-derived neurons and astrocytes, 12 primary human fetal astrocytes, 3 primary human embryonic astrocytes and 3 primary human neurons. Each condition has a minimum of 2 biological replicates. The samples were compared as single channel experiments. NOTE: The raw data files were submitted as generated in Quantarray with 2 channels, but due to issues with the control sample dye (Cy5 on Channel 1), only the Channel 2 (Cy3) data was analysed.
