ChIP-seq experiment of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), assessing beta-catenin DNA binding in wild type mESCs and TCF/LEF quadruple knock-out mESCs.

ABSTRACT: Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), derived from pre-implantation blastocyst cells, can be maintained in vitro in defined N2B27 medium supplemented with two chemical inhibitors for GSK3 and MEK (2i) and the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), which act synergistically to promote self-renewal and pluripotency. Many efforts have been devoted to identify genes that promote exit from the pluripotent state and the transition to a primed state of differentiation. One of the first identified players in this process was the Wnt/b-catenin effector TCF7L1 (previously referred to as TCF3), belonging to the family of four TCF/LEF transcription factors, which acts as pro-differentiation factor by repressing pluripotency genes. Of note, there is little evidence that the genetic abrogation of the mechanisms required for the exit from the pluripotent state is sufficient to enable self-renewal in the absence of 2iL. Here, we found that complete loss-of-function of Tcf7, Lef1, Tcf7l1 and Tcf7l2, the genes encoding for the four TCF/LEF transcription factors, (refered to as qKO) allows mESCs to become fully 2iL-independent and to propagate in basal N2B27. In addition to RNA-seq data deposited under accession number E-MTAB-10564, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) has been performed in CHIR-stimulated mESCs. Here, the DNA binding landscape of β-catenin has been analyzed to assess its possible connection to TCF/LEF-mediated pluripotency.

TCF/LEF dependent and independent regulation of Wnt/beta-catenin transcription

Project description:During canonical Wnt signalling the activity of nuclear beta-catenin is largely mediated by the TCF/LEF family of transcription factors. To challenge this view we used the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing approach to generate HEK 293T cell clones simultaneously carrying loss-of-function alleles of all four TCF/LEF genes. Exploiting unbiased whole transcriptome sequencing studies, we found that a subset of beta-catenin transcriptional targets did not require TCF/LEF factors for their regulation. Consistent with this finding, we observed in a genome-wide analysis that beta-catenin occupied specific genomic regions in the absence of TCF/LEF. Finally, we revealed the existence of a transcriptional activity of beta-catenin that specifically appears when TCF/LEF factors are absent, and refer to this as beta-catenin-GHOST response. Collectively, this study uncovers a previously neglected modus operandi of beta-catenin that bypasses the TCF/LEF transcription factors.

RNA-seq experiment of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), comparing TCF/LEF quadruple knock-out cells with wild type cells

To understand the genetic program that allows qKO cells to achieve 2iL-independent self-renewal, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of qKO and wild type mESCs.

CUT&RUN LoV-U of beta-catenin, TCF/LEF transcription factors and histone modifications in HEK293T and mouse embryonic hindlimb tissue at 11.5 days post coitum

Project description:In our attempts to profile different regulators of the WNT/b-catenin transcriptional complex, CUT&RUN failed to produce consistent binding patterns of the non-DNA-binding b-catenin. We developed a modified CUT&RUN protocol, which we refer to as LoV-U (Low Volume and Urea), that enables the generation of robust and reproducible b-catenin binding profiles. CUT&RUN-LoV-U can profile all classes of chromatin regulators tested, as shown by datasets targeting the TCF/LEF transcription factors and various histone modifications. CUT&RUN-LoV-U uncovers direct WNT/β-catenin target genes in human cells, as well as in ex vivo cells isolated from developing mouse tissue.

Ascl2 acts as an R-spondin/Wnt responsive switch to control stemness in intestinal crypts [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Wnt signals control three functions of intestinal crypts: maintenance of Lgr5 stem cells, proliferation of transit-amplifying daughters and formation of Paneth cells. Here, we study how the Wnt effector Î²-catenin/Tcf4 cooperates with the Wnt-activated transcription factor Ascl2 to control a stem cell transcription program. DNA elements that are co-occupied and synergistically regulated by Ascl2 and Tcf4 specifically map to stem cell genes. In vitro, Tcf4-/- mini-guts are rescued by Ascl2 expression, while Ascl2-/- organoids are rescued by Wnt signaling. A direct auto-activatory loop leads to an on/off expression pattern of Ascl2 with a threshold that depends on the previous state. Wnt/R-spondin1 activates this loop. This mechanism interprets Wnt levels in crypts and translates this continuous signal into a discrete Ascl2 âonâ or âoffâ decision. In turn Ascl2, together with Î²-catenin/Tcf, activates stem cell genes. Thus, Ascl2 forms a transcriptional 'stemness switch' that is both Wnt-responsive and Wnt-dependent Examination of Tcf4, B-catenin and Ascl2 DNA occupancy in murine intestinal organoids and human colorectal cancer cell lines *** Original raw files unavailable due to loss during backup ***

Identification of beta-catenin binding regions in SW480 cells

Project description:Deregulation of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is one of the earliest events in the pathogenesis of colon cancer. Mutations in APC or CTNNB1 (beta-catenin gene) are highly frequent in colon cancer and cause aberrant stabilization of b-catenin, which activates the transcription of Wnt target genes by binding to chromatin via the TCF/LEF transcription factors. Here we report an integrative analysis of genome-wide chromatin occupancy of b-catenin by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and gene expression profiling by microarray analysis upon RNAi-mediated knockdown of beta-catenin in colon cancer cells (GSE53656). Immunoprecipitated samples from human colon cancer SW480 cells with antibodies against beta-catenin and control IgG respectively were used for ChIP-seq experiments.

CUT&RUN experiment at four time points in HEK293T and hESC cells, assessing the time-resolved response of β-catenin genomic occupancy upon Wnt signaling activation

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly organized biochemical cascade that triggers a gene expression program in the signal-receiving cell. The Wnt/β-catenin-driven transcriptional response is involved in virtually all cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and its deregulation causes human disease. However, outstanding questions remain unanswered. A first question concerns cell-specificity: how this response is integrated into lineage-specific choices is still unknown. A second question concerns time: it is not known whether β-catenin associates with its targets simultaneously or in a time-dependent fashion. For instance, while TCF/LEF and other components of the Wnt transcriptional complex are constitutively associated with the chromatin, it is β-catenin arrival, upon Wnt induction, that launches target genes transcription. Therefore, discovering the dynamics of the genome-wide β-catenin binding pattern is required to unambiguously define the direct targets of Wnt signaling To address these questions, we realized a time-resolved atlas of β-catenin genome-wide occupancy in two human cell types, human embryonic kidney cells 293T (HEK293T) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To this end, we treated HEK293T and hESCs with the GSK3 inhibitor/Wnt activator CHIR99021 (10 mM) for 3 days, and assessed β-catenin binding via CUT&RUN-LoV-U (Zambanini et al., 2022) 90 minutes, 4 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after the onset of the stimulation. This approach allowed us to establish that β-catenin repositions to different genomic loci along stimulation time, showing that a definition of Wnt target genes must take into account the time-dimension. Moreover, β-catenin physical targets are largely cell-type specific, as only a subset of them is present across the examined contexts.

Genome-wide map of Tcf/Lef transcription factors, β-catenin, Six2 and chromatin marks in mouse nephron progenitor cells

Project description:During embryonic kidney development, nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) self-renew and differentiate into all cells in mature nephrons. The Wnt signaling components Wnt9b and β-catenin are required for both NPC self-renewal and differentiation. A low level of Wnt/β-catenin are associated with NPC self-renewal while a high level with differentiation. To investigate the transcriptional mechanisms behind Wnt/β-catenin-driven regulation of NPCs states, we modeled NPC self-renewal and differentiation in vitro with NPEM (Brown et al., 2015) supplemented with low (1.25 μM) or high (5 μM) concentration of CHIR22091 (CHIR), a small molecule GSK3β inhibitor that stabilizes β-catenin. We have found the Tcf/Lef family repressors Tcf7l1 and Tcf7l2 are enriched in low CHIR condition, while the activators Tcf7 and Lef1 in high CHIR condition, correlating with the NPC differentiation program transiting from being repressed to activated. To identify direct transcriptional targets of Tcf/Lef factors and β-catenin, here we generated ChIP-Seq data from primary NPC, as well as NPC cultured in low and high CHIR concentration.
