Effect of CDK8/19 inhibitor Senexin A on p21-regulated gene expression in human HT1080 p21-9 cells with IPTG-inducible p21

ABSTRACT: p21 (CDKN1A) expression from an IPTG-inducible promoter in HT1080 p21-9 cells was previously shown to inhibit a set of genes, many of which are involved in cell cycle progression, and to upregulate another set of genes, some of which have been implicated in cancer and age-related diseases. We have now developed Senexin A, a small-molecule inhibitor of p21-induced transcription, which we found to be a selective inhibitor of CDK8 and CDK19. Here we tested the effect of Senexin A on the induction and inhibition of transcription by p21. In this dataset, we include microarray gene expression data from samples of HT1080 p21-9 cells that were either untreated, treated with p21-inducing IPTG alone, with Senexin A alone, or with IPTG and Senexin A. This experiment shows that Senexin A inhibits primarily the induction but not the inhibition of gene expression by p21. The data for each of the four samples were normalized to the sample from untreated cells, using GeneSpring GX. Fold changes in gene expression upon the addition of IPTG with or without Senexin A were compared using Microsft Excel. Changes in the expression of specific GO categories of genes were compared using GeneSpring.

Project description:Our goal is to find new genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells . To get it we carried out a gene expression profiling in two different models, human myeloid leukemia K562 cells and human keratinocytes both of them with conditional expression of p21. In order to identify genes specifically modulated by p21 we compared with the cell line with overexpression of p27, because p21 and p27 belong to the same gene family and regulated the same genes specially in cell cycle. So, our intention is to identify only genes regulated by p21 and not p27. In order to confirm these results we studied the p21-dependent repression of mitotic genes in a different cellular system. We chose human primary keratinocytes because they are non-tumorigenic, non-immortalized and epithelial cells, in contrast to human myeloid leukemia K562 cells. Human primary keratinocytes were infected with recombinant adenoviruses expressing the full-length p21 protein. A dramatic increase in p21 in infected keratinocytes was demonstrated by RT-qPCR (as we show in the manuscript). As controls, we also infected the keratinocytes with adenovirus carrying the genes for p27 which overexpression was also confirmed by RT-qPCR (as we show in the manuscript). We prepared RNA 24 h after infection and performed large-scale expression assay using the Afftymetrix platform. The clustering analysis revealed that p21 provoked the down-regulation of a number genes involved in cell cycle control not shared by cells expressing p27 (as we show in the manuscript). Our goal, has been getting genes regulated more strongly by p21 and not by p27 in cell cycle and mitosis. Our result are supported because we have found the same genes in two different models and also we have validated (by RT-qPCR) more than 20 cell cycle and mitotic genes, found in our affymetrix arrays. Also we have found the region of p21 that is sufficient for gene regulation and for one gene we have described as p21 bind to the promoter. Finally, we have discussed in our manuscript how p21 can do this regulation by bioinformatic analysis of p21-target genes. The success of this study is to describe a new role of p21 as a transcriptional co-repressor in some systems.

Project description:Our goal is to find new genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells . To get it we carried out a gene expression profiling in two different models, human myeloid leukemia K562 cells and human keratinocytes both of them with conditional expression of p21. In order to find genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells we carried out a gene expression profiling in human myeloid leukemia K562 cells with conditional expression of p21. We previously described a K562 derivative, termed Kp21-4, that carries a zinc-inducible p21 gene (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). We performed a kinetic study to identify the expression peak of p21 in this system. This transient induction of p21 was accompanied by proliferation arrest and an increase in polyploid cells after 48-72 h (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). Actually, 6-12 h of p21 induction with ZnSO4 is sufficient to irreversibly trigger proliferation arrest. Therefore, we chose 12 h as the induction time to analyse p21 effects on the transcriptome of these cells, as gene expression changes later on may be indirect due to other phenotypic effects. We next carried out the gene expression profiling of Kp21-4 cells upon p21 induction by ZnSO4. In order to identify genes specifically modulated by p21 we compared with the cell line Kp27-5, which carries a Zn2+-inducible p27 allele (Munoz-Alonso MJ et at., 2005). p27 is a close relative to p21 that also inhibits CDKs and induce cell cycle arrest . Thus, the comparison serves to identify genes specifically regulated by p21 in our analysis. We subtracted the gene expression changes occurring at 72 h in Kp21-4 cells those genes regulated by p27 in the Kp27-5 cells and genes changed by ZnSO4 treatment in parental K562 cells. So, our intention is to identify only genes regulated at short time of induction by p21 and not by p27. In order to confirm these results we studied the p21-dependent repression of mitotic genes in a different cellular system. A dramatic increase in p21 and p27 in Kp21 and Kp27 were demonstrated by RT-qPCR and immunoblot (as we show in the manuscript). We prepared RNA 12 h and 72h after induction with ZnSO4 and performed large-scale expression assay using the Afftymetrix platform. The clustering analysis revealed that p21 provoked the down-regulation of a number genes involved in cell cycle control not shared by cells expressing p27 (as we show in the manuscript). Our goal, has been getting genes regulated more strongly by p21 and not by p27, in cell cycle and itosis. Our result are supported because we have found the same genes in two different models and also we have validated (by RT-qPCR) more than 20 cell cycle and mitotic genes, found in our affymetrix arrays. Also we have found the region of p21 that is sufficient for gene regulation and for one gene we have described as p21 bind to the promoter.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of murine bone marrow c-kit+, Sca-1+ lineage neative (KSL) cells from p21CDKN1a-/- and p21+/+ overexpressing Flt3/ITD. The goal was to determine the effect on global gene expression by loss of p21 in Flt3/ITD transformed KSL cells Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations in the Flt3 gene (Flt3-ITD) are associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Few inhibitors of Flt3-ITD are effective against Flt3-ITD+ AML due to the development of drug-resistance. In this study, we demonstrate that Flt3-ITD activates a novel pathway involving p21Cdkn1a (p21) and pre-B cell leukemia transcription factor 1 (Pbx1) that attenuates Flt3-ITD cell proliferation and is involved in the development drug resistance. Flt3-ITD up-regulated p21 expression in mouse bone marrow c-kit+-Sca-1+-Lin- (KSL) cells and in Ba/F3 cells. Loss of p21 expression enhanced growth factor-independent proliferation and sensitivity to cytarabine as a consequence of enriching the S+G2/M phase population concomitant with a significant increase in the expression of Pbx1, but not Evi-1, in Flt3-ITD+ cells. This enhancement of cell proliferation by loss of p21 was partially abrogated when Pbx1 expression was silenced in Flt3-ITD+ primary bone marrow colony-forming cells (CFCs) and Ba/F3 cells. Antagonizing Flt3-ITD using AC220, a selective inhibitor of Flt3-ITD, decreased the expression of p21, coincident with the up-regulation of Pbx1 mRNA and a rapid decline in the number of viable Flt3-ITD+ Ba/F3 cells, however the cells eventually became refractory to AC220. Overexpressing p21 in Flt3-ITD+ Ba/F3 cells delayed the emergence of cells refractory to AC220, whereas silencing p21 accelerated their development. These data demonstrate that Flt3-ITD is capable of inhibiting the proliferation of Flt3-ITD+ cells through the p21/Pbx1 axis and that antagonizing Flt3-ITD contributes to the subsequent development of cells refractory to Flt3-ITD inhibitor by disrupting p21 expression. biological replicates: 3 KSL cell replicates overexpressing ITD-Flt3 from p21+/+ and p21-/- cells, 1 KSL cell replicate from p21+/+ and p21-/- cells
