Project description:We carried out a genome-wide investigation of the primary transcriptional targets of 1α,25(OH)2D3 in breast epithelial cancer cells using RNA-Seq technology. We identified early transcriptional targets of 1α,25(OH)2D3 involved in adhesion, growth regulation, angiogenesis, actin cytoskeleton regulation, hexose transport, inflammation and immunomodulation, apoptosis, endocytosis and signaling. Furthermore, we found several transcription factors to be regulated by 1α,25(OH)2D3 that subsequently amplify and diversify the transcriptional output driven by 1α,25(OH)2D3 leading finally to a growth arrest of the cells. Moreover, we could show that 1α,25(OH)2D3 elevates the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 at several target gene promoters. Our present transcriptomic analysis of differential expression after 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment provides a resource of primary 1α,25(OH)2D3 targets that might drive the antiproliferative action in breast cancer epithelial cells.

Project description:Growth plate chondrocytes are regulated by numerous factors and hormones as they mature during endochondral bone formation. Chondrocytes in the growth plate’s growth zone (GC cells) produce and export matrix vesicles (MVs) under the regulation of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3]. 1α,25(OH)2D3 secreted by the cells acts on the MV membrane, releasing its contents. This study examined the regulatory role 1α,25(OH)2D3 has over the production and packaging of microRNA into MVs by GC cells and the ability to release microRNA from MVs once produced. We treated GC cells with 1α,25(OH)2D3 and then sequenced the microRNA in the cells and MVs. We also treated MVs with 1α,25(OH)2D3 and determined if the microRNA was released. To assess whether MVs can act directly with chondrocytes and if this is regulated by 1α,25(OH)2D3, we stained MVs with a membrane dye and treated GC cells with them. 1α,25(OH)2D3 regulated the production and packaging of microRNA into matrix vesicles. MVs did not release microRNA when treated with 1α,25(OH)2D3, indicating a heterogeneous MV population or a protective factor. Stained MVs were endocytosed by GC cells and this was increased with 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment. This study adds new regulatory roles for 1α,25(OH)2D3 with respect to packaging and transport of MV microRNAs.

Project description:The nuclear hormone 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25(OH)2D3) regulates its target genes via activation of the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR) far more specifically than the chromatin modifier trichostatin A (TsA) via its inhibitory action on histone deacetylases. We selected the thrombomodulin gene locus with its complex pattern of three 1α,25(OH)2D3 target genes, five VDR binding sites and multiple histone acetylation and open chromatin regions as an example to investigate together with a number of reference genes, the primary transcriptional responses to 1α,25(OH)2D3 and TsA. Transcriptome-wide, 18.4% of all expressed genes are either up- or down-regulated already after a 90 min TsA treatment; their response pattern to 1α,25(OH)2D3 and TsA sorts them into at least six classes. TsA stimulates a far higher number of genes than 1α,25(OH)2D3 and dominates the outcome of combined treatments. However, 200 TsA target genes can be modulated by 1α,25(OH)2D3 and more than 1000 genes respond only when treated with both compounds. The genomic view on the genes suggests that the degree of acetylation at transcription start sites and VDR binding regions may determine the effect of TsA on mRNA expression and its interference with 1α,25(OH)2D3. Our findings may have implications on dual therapies using chromatin modifiers and nuclear receptor ligands.

Project description:Background & Aims: Active vitamin D, 1α,25(OH)2D3, is a nuclear hormone with roles in colonic homeostasis and carcinogenesis, yet mechanisms underlying these effects are incompletely understood. Human organoids are an ideal system to study genomic and epigenomic host-environment interactions. Here, we utilize human colonic organoids to measure 1α,25(OH)2D3 responses on genome-wide gene expression and chromatin accessibilityover time. Methods: Human colonic organoids were cultured and treated in triplicate with either 100nM 1α,25(OH)2D3 or vehicle control for 4 and 18 hours (h) for chromatin accessibility, and 6 and 24hfor gene expression. DNA and RNA were extracted for ATAC- and RNA-sequencing, respectively. Differentially accessible peaks were analyzed using DiffBind and EdgeR; differentially expressed genes were analyzed using DESeq2. Motif enrichment was determined using HOMER. Results: At 6h and 24h, 2870 and 2721 differentially expressed genes, respectively (FDR<5%) were identified with overall stronger responses with 1α,25(OH)2D3. Similarly, 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment led to stronger chromatin accessibility especially at 4h. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) motif was strongly enriched among open chromatin peaks with 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment accounting for 30.5% and 11% of target sequences at 4h and 18h, respectively (FDR<1%). A number of genes such as CYP24A1, FGF19, MYC, FOS and TGFBR2 showed significant transcriptional and chromatin accessibility responses to 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment with open chromatin located distant from promoters for some gene regions. Conclusions: Assessment of chromatin accessibility and transcriptional responses to 1α,25(OH)2D3 yielded new observations about vitamin D genome-wide effects in the colon facilitated by application of human colonic organoids. This framework can be applied to study host-environment interactions between individuals and populations in future.

Project description:In this study, we compared the modulation of the transcriptome of human PBMCs by the vitamin D metabolites 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), 25(OH)D2 and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3).

Project description:The biologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), is a direct regulator of gene transcription, since it is the only high affinity natural ligand of the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR). Transcriptome-wide analysis of THP-1 human monocyte-like cells had indicated more than 600 genes to be significantly (p < 0.05) regulated after a 4 h stimulation with 1,25(OH)2D3. In this study, we screened of the list of primary vitamin D targets for genes encoding for transcriptional regulators and selected those of the activating transcription factor NFE2 and the transcriptional repressor BCL6. Both genes are under the control of two VDR loci and are the only 1,25(OH)2D3 targets within their respective chromosomal domain. However, NFE2 mRNA was rapidly up-regulated, while the increase of BCL6 expression showed a slower rise. After 24 h incubation of THP-1 cells with 1,25(OH)2D3 more than 1,500 genes responded significantly (p < 0.001), of which 132 where more than 2-fold induced. Public chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing datasets suggested that the majority of these genes could be targets of NFE2 or BCL6. In time course experiments we displayed for representative gene examples the specific delayed response of secondary 1,25(OH)2D3 targets and confirmed for the respective chromosomal domains the genomic binding of NFE2, BCL6 and VDR. In conclusion, our study indicated that the physiological response of monocytes to 1,25(OH)2D3 involves the action of NFE2 and BCL6. THP-1 cells were treated 24 h either with 0.1% ethanol (vehicle, control) or 1?,25(OH)2D3 (1,25D)

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been identified rapidly due to the important role of lncRNAs in many biological processes and human diseases including cancer. Vitamin D compounds are supported to be applied as preventative and therapeutic anticancer agents. However, the expression profile of lncRNAs regulated by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] in ovarian cancer remains to be clarified. In the present study, we identified 244 differentially expression (DE) lncRNAs and 102 DE mRNAs by our microarray data. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the DE genes were mainly enriched in TGF-β, MAPK, Ras, PI3K-Akt and Hippo signaling pathways, as well as vitamin D-related pathway. We further assessed the potential lncRNAs linking vitamin D signaling with EMT, and lncBCAS1-4_1 was identified. Moreover, we found the most upregulation lncBCAS1-4_1 has 75% transcripts same to CYP24A1, metabolic enzyme of 1α,25(OH)2D3. Finally, we established lncBCAS1-4_1 gain-of-function cell models and demonstrated that knockdown of lncBCAS1-4_1 inhibited proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells by regulating EMT-related mRNAs. Furthermore, our results also indicated that high lncBCAS1-4_1 obviously resisted the anti-tumor effect of 1α,25(OH)2D3 by upregulating ZEB1. These data will provide new evidence that lncRNAs are served as a target for the anti-tumor of 1α,25(OH)2D3.

Project description:Transcription factors require coactivators and corepressors to modulate transcription in mammalian cells. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) utilizes coactivators and corepressors to gain tight control over the activity of a diverse set of genes that can regulate calcium transport, slow proliferation and promote immune responses. We have recently established the VDR/RXR cistrome in human colon cancer cells and have linked these binding sites to the genes that are regulated by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). In additional studies described herein, we demonstrate that the coactivators SRC1, CBP and MED1 are recruited to upregulated genes to facilitate transcription as expected. SRC1 was the most highly correlated to VDR/RXR binding (50%). However, we also found that corepressor molecules such as NCoR and SMRT were present along with SRC1, CBP or MED1 at these 1,25(OH)2D3 activated gene enhancers. Interestingly, genome-wide NCoR binding mimicked VDR binding by increasing its association with VDR binding in response to 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. Overall, these data indicate a complex role for corepressor and coactivator complexes in the activation or active repression of 1,25(OH)2D3 responsive genes. 5 coregulators are analyzed by ChIP-seq. The Input from GSE31939 was used as the normalizing factor for all transcription factor IPs. If lanes had more than 1 replicate, these lanes were combined for greater read depth.

Project description:Many of the transcriptional and growth regulating activities of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) in the intestine and colon are recapitulated in the human colorectal cancer cell LS180. We therefore used this line together with ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses to identify the vitamin D receptor (VDR)/retinoid x receptor (RXR) and TCF7L2(TCF4)/β-catenin cistromes and the genes that they regulate. VDR and RXR co-localized to predominantly promoter distal, VDRE-containing sites in a largely ligand-dependent manner. These regulatory sites control the expression of both known as well as novel 1,25(OH)2D3 target genes. TCF4 and β-catenin cistromes partially overlapped, contained TCF/LEF consensus elements, and were only modestly influenced by 1,25(OH)2D3. However, the two heterodimer complexes co-localized at sites near a limited set of genes that included c-FOS and c-MYC; the expression of both genes was modulated by 1,25(OH)2D3. At the c-FOS gene, both VDR/RXR and TCF4/β-catenin bound to a single distal enhancer located 24 kb upstream of the transcriptional start site. At the c-MYC locus, however, binding was noted at a cluster of sites between -139 and -165 kb and at a site located -335 kb upstream. Examined as isolated enhancer fragments, these regions exhibited basal and 1,25(OH)2D3-inducible activities that were interlinked to both VDR and β-catenin activation. These data reveal additional complexity in the regulation of target genes by 1,25(OH)2D3 and support a direct action of both VDR and the TCF4/β-catenin regulatory complex at c-FOS and c-MYC.
