P53 binding and gene expression profiles in Drosophila postmitotic and embryonic tissue

ABSTRACT: TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers, and despite intensive research efforts, genome-scale studies of p53 function in whole animal models are rare. Yet the need for such in vivo studies is underscored by recent challenges to established models indicating that unappreciated p53 functions contribute to tumor suppression. Here we leveraged the Drosophila system to interrogate p53 function in a postmitotic context. In the developing fly, p53 robustly activates important apoptotic genes in response to radiation-induced DNA damage. We have recently shown that a p53 enhancer near the cell death gene reaper (p53RErpr), forms chromatin contacts and enables p53 target activation through long genomic distances. Interestingly, we found that this canonical p53 apoptotic program fails to activate in response to radiation in postmitotic tissue. Furthermore, the lack of apoptotic responses was not associated with altered chromatin contacts; instead we determined that p53 does not occupy the p53RErpr enhancer in postmitotic tissue. In addition, we conducted RNA-seq and ChIP-seq studies to directly compare the developing and postmitotic tissues, and we determined that p53 regulates distinct transcriptional programs in adult heads, which include DNA repair, metabolism and proteolysis genes. Strikingly, in the postmitotic context p53 binding landscapes were poorly correlated with nearby transcriptional effects, raising the possibility that p53 enhancers could be generally acting through long distances.

The C-terminus of p53 Confers Liver-Specific Gene Regulation and Radio-Resistance in vivo [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Thymus and spleen, in contrast to liver, are radiosensitive tissues in which p53-dependent apoptosis is triggered after whole body radiation in vivo. Combined RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analyses of radiation-treated mouse organs identifies both shared and tissue-specific p53 transcriptional responses. As expected, the p53 targets shared amongst thymus and spleen are enriched in apoptotic targets. Surprisingly, the inability to upregulate these genes in the liver is not due to reduced gene occupancy. Use of an engineered mouse model shows that deletion of the C-terminus of p53 can confer radiation-induced expression of p53 apoptotic targets in the liver with concomitant increased cell death. Global RNA-seq analysis reveals an additional role of the C-terminus being also needed for transcriptional activation of liver-specific p53 targets. It is hypothesized that both suppression of apoptotic gene expression combined with enhanced activation of liver-specific targets confers tissue-specific radio-resistance.

p53 pro-apoptotic activity is regulated by the G2/M promoting factor Cdk1 in response to DNA damage.

Project description:Exposure to genotoxic stress promotes cell-cycle arrest and DNA repair or apoptosis. These “life” or “death” cell fate decisions often rely on the activity of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Therefore, how p53 activity is precisely regulated is essential to maintain tissue homeostasis and to prevent cancer development. Here we demonstrate that Drosophila p53 pro-apoptotic activity is regulated by the G2/M kinase Cdk1. We find that cell cycle arrested or endocycle-induced cells are refractory to ionizing radiation induced apoptosis. We show that the p53 protein is not able to bind to the p53 responding elements of the pro-apoptotic genes and to activate their expression in experimentally arrested cells. Our results indicate that p53 genetically and physically interacts with Cdk1 and that p53 pro-apoptotic role is regulated by the cell cycle status of the cell. We propose a model in which cell cycle progression and p53 pro-apoptotic activity are molecularly connected to coordinate the appropriate response after DNA damage.

Extracts from sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), a feedstock for biorefining, suppressed proliferation and elevated apoptosis in human colon cancer stem cells via suppression of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway

Project description:In colorectal cancer, p53 is commonly inactivated, associated with chemo-resistance, and marks the transition from non-invasive to invasive disease. Cancers, including colorectal cancer, are thought to be diseases of aberrant stem cell populations, as stem cells are able to self-renew, making them long-lived enough to acquire mutations necessary to manifest the disease. We have shown that extracts from sweet sorghum stalk components eliminate colon cancer stem cells (CCSC) in a partial p53-dependent fashion. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the present study, CCSC were transfected with short hairpin-RNA against p53 (CCSC p53 shRNA) and treated with sweet sorghum phenolics extracted from different plant components (dermal layer, leaf, seed head and whole plant). While all components demonstrated anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in CCSC, phenolics extracted from the dermal layer and seed head were more potent in eliminating CCSC by elevating caspases 3/7 activity, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation in a p53-dependent and p53-independent fashion, respectively. Further investigations revealed that the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects were associated with decreases in beta-catenin protein levels, and beta-catenin targets cyclin D1, cMyc, and survivin. These results suggest that the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of sweet sorghum extracts against human colon cancer stem cells are via suppression of Wnt/beta-catenin pro-survival signaling in a p53-dependent (dermal layer) and partial p53-independent (seed head) fashion.

p53 prevents neurodegeneration by regulating synaptic genes

Project description:DNA damage has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies, but the consequences of genotoxic stress to postmitotic neurons are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that p53, a key mediator of the DNA damage response, plays a neuroprotective role in a Drosophila model of tauopathy. Further, through a whole-genome ChIP-chip analysis we identify genes controlled by p53 in postmitotic neurons. We genetically validate a specific pathway, synaptic function, in p53-mediated neuroprotection. We then demonstrate that the control of synaptic genes by p53 is conserved in mammals. Collectively, our results implicate synaptic function as a central target in p53-dependent protection from neurodegeneration. 4 samples: tau vs. control

p53-mediated neurodegeneration in the absence of the nuclear protein Akirin2

Project description:Purpose: We investigated the molecular function of the nuclear protein, Akirin2 (Aki2), in postmitotic excitatory cortical neurons and neural progenitor cells of the embryonic dorsal telencephalon. Method: We performed total RNA-Sequencing on the cortex of P35 CaMK-Cre;Aki2fl/fl mice and age matched controls. We compared this transcriptomic database to one obtained through total RNA-Sequencing of E10.5 Emx1-Cre;Aki2fl/fl dorsal telencephalon and age-matched controls . Results: We discovered slow degeneration through necroptosis in the Aki2 postmitotic forebrain mutants and dysregulation of many p53 target genes in both transcriptomics datasets. Reduction of the p53 gene in the CaMK-Cre;Aki2fl/fl line delays cell death; while knockout prevents it entirely. Conclusion: This study provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of Aki2 function in cortical neurons and identifies p53 as a molecular mediator of neuronal death in the absence of Aki2. Futhermore, it identifies several candidate Aki2-dependent genes dysregulated in both transcroptomic datasets and many candidate Aki2 target genes that are context dependent.

The codon 72 polymorphism of p53 regulates interactions with NF-κB and transactivation of genes involoved in immunity and inflamation

Project description:A common polymorphism at codon 72 in the p53 tumor suppressor gene encodes either proline(P72) or arginine(R72). These two variants might possess altered biological function which influences p53’s transcriptional, senescence and apoptotic functions. We found that P72 has increased apoptosis when compare to R72. To further identify unknown p53 target genes which might play a role in the increased apoptosis in P72 thymocytes, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform. Mouse thymocytes were isolated from the thymuses of mice that were untreated (0 hour) or following 2 or 4 hours of exposure to 5 Gray of gamma radiation. Mouse thymocytes were isolated from the thymuses of mice that were untreated (0 hour) or following 2 or 4 hours of exposure to 5 Gray of gamma radiation. Four independent experiments were performed at each time point (P72 and R72) and at each timepoint 2 mice of each genotype were used, and their thymocytes were pooled together.

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

Stereotyped p53 binding tuned by chromatin accessibility

Project description:We accessed the cell type specificity of p53 by directly measuring DNA binding in twelve cell lines in response to ionizing radiation. We find that that vast majority of binding sites are occupied across all cells lines uniformly, in contrast to p53 regulated gene expression which shows great diversity in the same context. We further identify a subset of p53 binding sites that are more restricted, appearing in one or a few cell lines. We find that chromatin accessibility explains much of these differential binding events.
