The c-Myc HLH-bZIP protein has been implicated in physiological or pathological growth, proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, and differentiation at the cellular, tissue, or organismal levels via regulation of numerous target genes. No principle yet unifies Myc action due partly to an incomplete inventory and functional accounting of Myc's targets. To observe Myc target expression and function in a system where Myc is temporally and physiologically regulated, the transcriptomes and the genome-wi ...[more]

Project description:The c-Myc HLH-bZIP protein has been implicated in physiological or pathological growth, proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism and differentiation at the cellular, tissue or organismal levels via regulation of numerous target genes. In part due to the incomplete inventory and functional accounting of Myc’s targets, no principle unifies Myc action. To relate the dynamics of Myc-binding with target expression and function in a system where Myc-levels are temporally and physiologically regulated, the transcriptomes and the genome-wide distributions of Myc, RNA polymerase II and chromatin modifications were compared during lymphocyte activation and in ES cells. A remarkably simple rule emerged from this quantitative analysis: Myc is not an on-off switch, but is a non-linear amplifier of expression, acting universally at active genes, except for immediate early genes that are strongly induced before Myc. This rule of Myc action explains the vast majority of Myc biology observed in literature. Quiescent B-cells (B0) were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 4 hrs (B4), and resting T-cells (T0) were activated with conA for 4 hrs (T4) and for 14 hrs (T14). Following treatments, RNA was harvested and chromatin was prepared at these time points. The RNA was analyzed by hybridization with Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:The specific roles of mutant p53’s dominant-negative (DN) or gain-of-function (GOF) properties in regulating acute response and long-term tumorigenesis is unclear. Using “knock-in” mouse strains expressing varying R246S mutant levels, we show that DN effect on transactivation is universally observed after acute p53 activation whereas the effect on cellular outcome is cell-type specific. Reducing mutant p53 levels abrogated the DN effect. Mutant p53’s DN effect protected against radiation-induced death, but did not accentuate tumorigenesis. Furthermore, the R246S mutant did not promote tumorigenesis compared to p53-/- mice in various models, even in the absence of MDM2, unlike the R172H mutant. Together, these data demonstrate that mutant p53’s DN property only affects acute responses, whereas GOF is not universal, being mutation-type specific. Transcriptomes of 4 samples of normal B cells and 12 Myc-induced B lymphoma cells harvested from mice of different p53 genotypes were profiled. Data was analysed by mixed model ANOVA using Partek.

Project description:Krüppel-like factor 1 (Klf1) is a transcription factor that promotes β-globin synthesis in erythroid progenitors, and its role in immunological homeostasis is unknown. The full-length mRNA of mouse Klf1(NM-010635) was cloned into the pMIG retroviral vector, which contains an IRES-GFP cassette. Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice were cultured for 48 h in the presence of Concanavalin A (ConA) (10 μg/mL) and IL-2 (50 μg/mL), and gene transduction was conducted. CD4+ T cells that were transfected with retroviral vectors were divided into 3 fractions according to GFP fluorescence (strongly positive, weakly positive and negative) using a FACSVantage flow cytometer. Total RNA was then extracted. Sequence libraries were prepared according to standard methods using Smart-seq2 (Illumina), and they were analyzed with a next generation sequencer, a MiSeq system (Illumina).

Project description:The c-myc proto-oncogene product, Myc, is a transcription factor that binds thousands of genomic loci. Recent work suggested that rather than up- and down-regulating selected groups of genes, Myc targets all active promoters and enhancers in the genome (a phenomenon termed "invasion") and acts as a general amplifier of transcription. However, the available data did not readily discriminate between direct and indirect effects of Myc on RNA biogenesis. We addressed this issue with genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and RNA expression profiles during B-cell lymphomagenesis in mice, in cultured B-cells and fibroblasts. Consistent with long-standing observations, we detected general increases in total RNA or mRNA copies per cell (hereby termed "amplification") when comparing actively proliferating cells with control quiescent cells: this was true whether cells were stimulated by mitogens (requiring endogenous Myc for a proliferative response) or by deregulated, oncogenic Myc activity. RNA amplification and promoter/enhancer invasion by Myc were separable phenomena that could occur without one another. Moreover, whether or not associated with RNA amplification, Myc drove the differential expression of distinct subsets of target genes. Hence, while having the potential to interact with all active/poised regulatory elements in the genome, Myc does not directly act as a global transcriptional amplifier. Instead, our results imply that Myc activates and represses transcription of discrete gene sets, leading to changes in cellular state that can in turn feed back on global RNA production and turnover.
