Regulation of the KEAP1/NRF2 oxidative stress response pathway by BRD4 in prostate and colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT: To identify genes regulated by BRD4 and to provide insight into new mechanisms de-regulated by BRD4, such as the response to oxidative stress, we integrated BRD4-binding regions with BRD4 gene expression data. For this analysis we performed BRD4 chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments and BRD4 knock down experiments followed by RNA-Seq analyses. By integration of both gene lists we identified top candidate genes regulated by BRD4. HEK cells have been investigated for genomewide BRD4 binding sites and expression changes after knock down of BRD4. Illumina sequencing was used to gather data of the type ChIP Seq and mRNA Seq.

The epigenetic sensor BRD4 (bromodomain protein 4) is a potent target for anti-cancer therapies. To study the transcriptional impact of BRD4 in cancer, we generated an expression signature of BRD4 knockdown cells and found oxidative stress response genes significantly enriched. We integrated the RNA-Seq results with DNA-binding sites of BRD4 generated by chromatin immunoprecipitations, correlated these with gene expressions from human prostate cancers and identified 21 top BRD4 candidate genes a ...[more]

Project description:Biofilm formation on medically implanted devices by Candida albicans poses a significant clinical challenge. Here we compared biofilm-associated gene expression in two clinical C. albicans isolates, SC5314 and WO-1, to identify shared gene regulatory responses that may be functionally relevant. Among the 50 genes most highly expressed in biofilms relative to planktonic (suspension-grown) cells, we were able to recover insertion mutations in 25 genes. We observed that 20 of the 25 mutants have altered biofilm-related properties, including cell-substrate adherence, cell-cell signaling, and azole susceptibility. We focused on the most highly up-regulated gene in biofilms, RHR2, which specifies the glycerol biosynthetic enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase. Glycerol is 5-fold more abundant in biofilm cells than planktonic cells, and an rhr2D/D strain accumulates 2-fold less biofilm glycerol than the wild type. Under in vitro growth conditions, the rhr2D/D mutant has reduced biofilm biomass and reduced adherence to silicone. The rhr2D/D mutant is severely defective in biofilm formation in vivo, in a rat catheter infection model. Expression profiling of the rhr2D/D mutant indicates that it has reduced expression of cell surface adhesin genes ALS1, ALS3, and HWP1, as well as a large fraction of all other biofilm up-regulated genes. Reduced adhesin expression is the cause of the rhr2D/D mutant biofilm defect, because overexpression of ALS1, ALS3, or HWP1 restores biofilm formation ability to the mutant in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicate that internal glycerol has a regulatory role in biofilm gene expression, and that adhesin genes are among the main functional Rhr2-regulated genes.
