Project description:β-Catenin is the major co-regulator of the Wnt signalling pathway. β-Catenin lysine 49 is post-translationally modified. The histone methyl transferase Ezh2 trimethylates β-catenin at lysine 49 and the acetyl transferase Cbp acetylates β-catenin at the same lysine. To determine the effects on gene expression embryonic stem cells containing either a Gfp tagged β-catenin wildtype (wt) or lysine 49 to alanine (K49A) loss of function mutation were analysed by micro array expression profiling. To determine the effects on gene expression in the pluripotent state two biological replicates of Gfp β-catenin wt and Gfp β-catenin K49A were analysed. The results showed that genes which affect pluripotency as well as differentiation were altered by β-catenin K49A mutation. To analyse the effects of gene expression during ES cell differentiation ES cells containing Gfp β-catenin wt or K49A were differentiated into mesodermal progenitors (mp) and neuronal progenitors (np). Two biological replicates were analysed by micro array expression profiling. Differentially expressed genes between Gfp β-catenin wt and K49A during differentiation were observed. Mesodermal marker genes like t-brachyury and cdx2 were not upregulated in mesodermal differentiation of Gfp β-catenin K49A Es cells.

Project description:Our understanding of how mesodermal tissue is formed, has been limited by the absence of specific and reliable markers of early mesoderm commitment. We report that mesoderm commitment from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) is initiated by Epithelial to Mesenchymal transition (EMT) as shown by gene expression profiling and by reciprocal changes in expression of the cell surface proteins, EpCAM/CD326 and NCAM/CD56. Molecular and functional assays reveal that CD326negCD56+ cells, generated from hESC in the presence of activin A, BMP4, VEGF and FGF2, represent a novel, multi-potent mesoderm-committed progenitor population. CD326negCD56+ progenitors are unique in their ability to generate all mesodermal lineages including hematopoietic, endothelial, mesenchymal (bone, cartilage, fat, fibroblast), smooth muscle and cardiomyocytes, while lacking the pluripotency of hESC. CD326negCD56+ cells are the precursors of previously reported, more lineage-restricted mesodermal progenitors. These findings present a novel approach to study how germ layer specification is regulated, and offer a unique target for tissue engineering. We used microarrays to compare gene expression profile of early mesodermal progenitors with undifferentiated hESC (H9 line). Mesoderm induction from hESC was initiatiated with combination of morphogens and growth factors including activin A, bone morphogenic protein 4, basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor. Proposed mesodermal progenitor population was isolated by FACS on day 3.5 of culture based on the presence of CD56 expression and the absenbce of CD326 expression.

Project description:Notch signaling regulates a variety of developmental cell fates decisions in a cell-context dependent manner. Although Notch signaling directly regulates transcription via the RBP-J/CSL DNA binding protein, little is known about the genes in the respective tissues that are directly activated by Notch. To analyze how Notch signaling mediates its context dependent functions, we utilized a Tamoxifen(OHT)-inducible system (NERT) to activate Notch1 in embryonic stem cells (ESC) at different stages of mesodermal differentiation combined with global transcriptional analyses. Notch1 signaling pathway was analysed in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) that were kept under self-renewal conditions enabling ectodermal, or mesodermal gene expression (ESCe or ESCm respectively), or were differentiated into mesodermal progenitors. NotchIC were induced or not induced by hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) and addititionally in some experiments the cells were treated with protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) for 4 h.

Project description:During mammalian kidney development, mesenchymal nephron progenitors (cap mesenchyme) differentiate into the epithelial cells that go on to form the nephron. Although differentiation of nephron progenitors is triggered by activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling, constitutive activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling blocks epithelialization of nephron progenitors. Full epithelialization of nephron progenitors requires transient activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling. We performed transcriptional profiling of nephron progenitors responding to constitutive or transient activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling.

Project description:Acting downstream of many growth factors, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) plays a pivotal role in regulating cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, where its spatiotemporal dynamics, as well as its strength, determine cellular responses. Here, we uncover the ERK activity dynamics in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and their association with tumour characteristics. In vivo imaging identified two distinct modes of ERK activity, sustained and pulse-like activity, in IECs. The sustained and pulse-like activity depended on ErbB2 and EGFR, respectively. Notably, deregulated activation of Wnt signalling, the earliest event in intestinal tumorigenesis, augmented EGFR signalling and exalted it to a dominant driver of ERK activity dynamics, which rendered IECs addicted to EGFR signalling. Furthermore, the frequency of ERK activity pulses was also increased to promote cell proliferation. Thus, ERK activity dynamics are defined by composite inputs from EGFR and ErbB2 signalling in IECs and their alterations underlie tumour-specific sensitivity to pharmacological EGFR inhibition. In this microarray analysis, we aimed to elucidate molecular mechanisms that mediate Wnt signalling activation-induced alterations in EGFR-ERK signalling dynamics.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells have a remarkable capacity to self-organize complex, multi-layered optic cups in vitro via a culture technique called SFEBq. During both SFEBq and in vivo optic cup development, Rax (Rx) expressing neural retina epithelial (NRE) tissues utilize Fgf and Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathways to differentiate into neural retina (NR) and retinal-pigmented epithelial (RPE) tissues, respectively. How these signaling pathways affect gene expression during optic tissue formation has remained largely unknown, especially at the transcriptome scale. We generated Day 10 Rx+ optic tissue using SFEBq, exposed these tissues to either Fgf or Wnt/β-catenin stimulation, and assayed their gene expression at Days 12 and 15 using RNA-Seq. We measured gene expression in these 5 sample groups in biological triplicate using RNA-seq (Illumina HiSeq) .

Project description:To investigate miRNAs that implicate the process of adipogenesis by interacting with canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, we constructed two cell models at first, and then investigated the expression profile of microRNAs by using Microarray. Based on the data of high throughput microarray, we identified 18 miRNAs which might promote adipogenesis by repressing WNT signaling, including mir-210, mir-148a, mir-194, mir-322 etc. On the other hand, we also identified 29 miRNAs which might repress adipogenesis by activation of WNT signaling, including mir-344, mir-27, and mir-181. The target genes involved in WNT signaling pathway of these identified miRNAs were also predicted through online tools. Two cell models of 3T3-L1, i.e. activation and suppression of WNT signaling including four samples, i.e. preadipocytes, mature adipocytes (MDI induction), Lithium treated preadipocytes, MDI induction of Lithium treated preadipocytes. Each sample was replicated in triplicate.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify the direct target genes of β-catenin acting downstream of canonical Wnt signaling in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs).Canonical Wnt signaling supports the pluripotency of mouse ESCs but also promotes differentiation of early mammalian cell lineages. To explain these paradoxical observations, we explored the gene regulatory networks at play. Canonical Wnt signaling is intertwined with the pluripotency network comprising Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2 in mouse ESCs. In defined media supporting the derivation and propagation of mouse ESCs, Tcf3 and β-catenin interact with Oct4; Tcf3 binds to Sox motif within Oct-Sox composite motifs that are also bound by Oct4-Sox2 complexes. Further, canonical Wnt signaling up-regulates the activity of the Pou5f1 distal enhancer via the Sox motif in mouse ESCs. When viewed in the context of published studies on Tcf3 and β-catenin mutants, our findings suggest that Tcf3 counters pluripotency by competition with Sox2 at these sites, and Tcf3 inhibition is blocked by β-catenin entry into this complex. Wnt pathway stimulation also triggers β-catenin association at regulatory elements with classic Lef/Tcf motifs associated with differentiation programs. The failure to activate these targets in the presence of a MEK/ERK inhibitor essential for mouse ESC culture suggests that MEK/ERK signaling and canonical Wnt signaling combine to promote mouse ESC differentiation.

Project description:Self-renewing undifferentiated nephron progenitors express Six2, a transcription factor that is required for their maintenance as undifferentiated progenitors. Differentiation of nephron progenitors is triggered by Wnt/b-catenin signaling. In order to understand how Six2 and Wnt signaling counteract each other, we performed ChIP-seq of Six2 and b-catenin in mesenchymal nephron progenitor cells. Nephron progenitors were FACS-isolated from BAC transgenic Six2GFPcre-positive embryonic kidneys at E16.5. For Six2 ChIP, freshly FACS isolated Six2+ cells were used. For b-catenin ChIP, FACS isolated Six2+ cells were aggregated by centrifugation at 850g for 5min and incubated in 10%FBS/DMEM containing 4uM BIO for 24hrs.
