Hey target gene regulation in murine ES cells and cardiomyocytes [Affymetrix]

ABSTRACT: We used an in vitro cardiomyocyte differentiation system with inducible Hey1 or Hey2 expression to study target gene regulation in cardiomyocytes (CM) generated from murine embryonic stem cells (ESC). The effects of Hey1 and Hey2 are largely redundant, but cell type specific. The number of regulated genes is comparable between ESC and CM, but the total number of binding sites is much higher, especially in ESC, targeting mainly genes involved in transcriptional regulation and developmental processes. Repression by Hey generally correlates with the extent of Hey-binding to target promoters, subsequent Hdac recruitment and lower histone acetylation. Functionally, treatment with the Hdac inhibitor TSA abolished Hey target gene regulation. However, in CM the repressive effect of Hey-binding is lost for a subset of genes. These lack Hey-dependent histone deacetylation in CM and are enriched for binding sites of cardiac specific activators like Srf, Nkx2-5, and Gata4. Control cells and cells with Hey1 or Hey2 overexpression, no replicates

Project description:The innate immune system is vital to rapidly responding to pathogens and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a critical component of this response. Nanovesicular exosomes play a role in immunity, but to date their exact contribution to the dissemination of the TLR response is unknown. To understand the effect of exosomal cargo released from locally stimulated cells on distal cell expression, we collected exosomes from local ovarian adenocarcinoma (HEY) cells that were either unstimulated (control-exosomes), stimulated with pIC (pIC-exosomes), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS-exosomes) for 48 hours. The three groups of exosomes were added to naÃ¯ve (distal) cells and the gene expression profiles were compared between local TLR stimulation (for 6 hours) and distal stimulation mediated by exosomes at the 48-hour time point The goal of the study was to delineate the differential effector function of TLR-exosomes based on the innate immune activation state (control-, LPS-, pIC-stimulation) of the cell of origin in vitro. We used microarrays to understand the changes in gene expression in 2 samples of local hey cells either unstimulated(control) or stimulated with poly(I:C) or LPS each. We also profiled 2 samples of distal naÃ¯ve cells that were exposed to either control, LPS or poly(I:C) exosomes from local cells. Here we show that exosomes from TLR stimulated cells (TLR-exosomes) can largely recapitulate TLR activation in distal cells in vitro. We can abrogate the action-at-a-distance signaling of exosomes by UV irradiation, demonstrating that RNA is crucial for their effector function. This work definitively establishes the differential effector function for TLR-exosomes in communicating the activation state of the cell of origin. HEY cells were either unstimulated (Local control) or stimulated with LPS or poly (I:C) for 6 hours and the RNA from these cells was profiled using a microarray. Exosomes were collected from local cells that were unstimulated or stimulated for 48 hours and added to distal (naive) HEY cells that were exposed to control exosomes, LPS exosomes or pIC exosomes and then the RNA was collected for analysis by microarray. mRNA expression was captured on Affymetrix U133 Plus 2 chips. mRNA microarray data were analyzed using the Expression Console software (Affymetrix) and Bioconductor tools written in the R statistical programming language. Pre-processing of raw signal intensities and normalization was performed using GCRMA (R). Linear modelling of the transformed data was determined by using Limma in R with the Benjamini and Hochberg correction. Differentially expressed probesets were identified using a threshold 5% FDR correction and a fold change â¥ 1.4 was applied
