Project description:Notch signaling is an important regulator of stem cell differentiation. All canonical Notch signaling is transmitted through the DNA-binding protein CSL and hyperactivated Notch signaling is associated with tumor development; thus it may be anticipated that CSL deficiency should reduce tumor growth. In contrast, we report that genetic removal of CSL in breast tumor cells caused accelerated growth of xenografted tumors. Loss of CSL unleashed a hypoxic response during normoxic conditions, manifested by stabilization of the HIF1± protein and acquisition of a polyploid giant-cell, cancer stem cell-like, phenotype. At the transcriptome level, loss of CSL upregulated more than 1750 genes and less than 3% of those genes were part of the Notch transcriptional signature. Collectively, this suggests that CSL exerts functions beyond serving as the central node in the Notch signaling cascade and reveals a novel role for CSL in tumorigenesis and regulation of the cellular hypoxic response. CSL +/+ and CSL -/- MDA-MB-231 were subjected to Notch activation/inhibition and xenograft experiment. Total RNA were extracted from the samples and sent to NGS. Single Cell RNA-sequencing was also performed from cells isolated from xenograft tumors.

Project description:Cytolytic activity by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) is a powerful tactic in the elimination of intracellular pathogens and tumor cells. The destructive capacity of CTL is progressively dampened during chronic infection - yet the environmental cues and molecular pathways controlling immune “exhaustion” remain unclear. We find CTL immunity is regulated by the central transcriptional response to hypoxia, mediated by the von-Hippel-Lindau/Hypoxia-Inducible-Factor (VHL/HIF) pathway. Deletion of VHL, the primary negative regulator of HIF, leads to lethal CTL-mediated immunopathology during chronic infection, and VHL-deficient CTL display enhanced control of persistent viral infection and neoplastic growth. We find HIF and oxygen influence expression of pivotal CTL transcription, effector and costimulatory-inhibitory molecules, which is relevant to strategies to promote viral and tumor clearance. To understand the role of the VHL/HIF pathway in regulating T cell responses to acute and persistant antigen in vivo, a mixture of ~10^4 WT and Vhl KO virus-specific CD8+ T cells (P14s) was transferred iv into uninfected WT host mice. After infection with either LCMV-Armstrong (acute viral infection) or LCMV-clone13 (persistent viral infection) we double-FACS isolated the responding P14 donor cells from pooled spleens from two sets of host mice to obtain duplicates for microarray for the four conditions, resulting in eight samples (2 WT Arm, 2 VHL KO Arm; 2 WT cl13, 2 VHL KO cl13) at 6 to 7 days post-infection. All conditions were sorted on KRLG1lo P14 cells. Note this was a mixed P14 transfer, so WT and KO cells were responding to infection in the same WT host mice to aid in normalizing effects such as antigen load and cytokine environment.

Project description:CSL is a key transcription factor, mostly acting as a repressor. While known as main effector of Notch signaling, it can also play Notch-independent functions. Despite the wide interest in CSL, the mechanisms responsible for its own regulation have been little studied. We recently showed that CSL down-modulation in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) leads to conversion into cancer associated fibroblasts, which promote keratinocyte tumor development. We show here that levels of CSL gene transcription differ among HDF strains derived from many different individuals, with negative correlation with genes involved in DNA damage/repair. CSL expression in all tested strains is negatively regulated by stress / DNA damaging insults caused by UVA, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), smoke extract and doxorubicin treatment. p53, a key effector of the DNA damage response, functions as common negative regulator of CSL gene transcription, through both suppression of CSL promoter activity and, indirectly, through increased p21 expression. CSL was previously shown to bind p53 suppressing its activity. The present findings indicate that p53, in turn, decreases CSL expression, which can serve to enhance p53 activity in the acute response of cells to DNA damaging cancer-threatening conditions.

Project description:Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) fuels cellular ATP demands. OXPHOS defects lead to severe human disorders with unexplained tissue specific pathologies. Mitochondrial gene expression is essential for OXPHOS biogenesis since core subunits of the complexes are mitochondrial-encoded. COX14 is required for translation of COX1, the central mitochondrial-encoded subunit of complex IV. Here we generated a COX14 mouse mutant corresponding to a patient with complex IV deficiency. COX14M19I mice display broad tissue-specific pathologies. A hallmark phenotype is severe liver inflammation linked to release of mitochondrial RNA into the cytosol sensed by RIG-1 pathway. We find that mitochondrial RNA release is triggered by increased reactive oxygen species production in the absence of complex IV. Additionally, we also generated a COA3Y72C mouse, affected in COX1 biogenesis, which displays a similar yet milder inflammatory phenotype. Our study provides mechanistic insight into how defective mitochondrial gene expression causes tissue-specific inflammation.

Project description:Down-modulation or loss-of-function mutations of the Notch 1 and 2 genes are associated with development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a very frequent and therapy-resilient malignancy in skin, head/neck (H/N), lung and other surface epithelia. In this context, surprisingly little is known on the role of CSL (RBP-Jk), key effector of canonical Notch signaling endowed with intrinsic transcription repressive function. CSL expression is decreased in upper epidermal layers and differentiating primary human keratinocytes (HKCs), while it is up-regulated in premalignant and malignant SCC lesions and SCC cell lines from skin, Head/Neck and lung. Increased CSL levels enhance proliferation and self-renewal potential of HKCs and SCC cells, while its silencing induces growth arrest and apoptosis. In vivo, SCC cells with increased CSL levels give rise to rapidly expanding tumors, while upon CSL silencing they form smaller and more differentiated tumors with enhanced inflammatory infiltrate. Global transcriptomic analysis of HKC and SCC cells plus/minus CSL silencing reveals major modulation of apoptotic, cell cycle and pro-inflammatory genes, with no significant association with Notch or keratinocyte differentiation gene signatures. KDM6B, a histone demethylase gene with highly context dependent functions, is a direct CSL negative target, with an inverse role of CSL in HKC and SCC self-renewal and tumorigenesis, with IL6 as a target of likely significance. CSL / KDM6B protein expression could be used as biomarkers of SCC development and novel indicators of cancer treatment.
