Project description:We performed ChIP-Sequencing for GR in GR wild-type, GR Zn mutant and GR Knock-Out Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs). We show that GR Zn mutant chromatin binding is mostly lost except for some tethered binding sites. Together with the corresponding RNA-Seq data, our results illustrate how GR requires direct DNA binding for activation and repression of target genes.

Project description:Wild-type bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were treated with vehicle (0.1% EtOH/D-PBS), 6h 100 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or 16h 1uM dexamethasone (Dex) and 6h 100 ng/ml LPS (Dex+LPS) and mRNA expression analysed by RNA-Seq.

Project description:The circadian transcriptional repressors cryptochromes 1 (Cry1) and 2 (Cry2) interact with the C-terminus of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and are required for transrepression in response to the synthetic GR ligand dexamethasone (Dex) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Dex induction of many genes was increased in Cry-deficient fibroblasts suggesting that cryptochromes oppose transactivation in addition to contributing to transrepression. In mice, genetic loss of Cry1 and/or Cry2 resulted in glucose intolerance and constitutively high levels of circulating corticosterone, suggesting reduced glucocorticoid suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis coupled with increased sensitivity to the hyperglycemic effects of glucocorticoid-mediated transactivation in the liver. Cry1 and Cry2 association with a GRE in the Pck1 promoter was stimulated by Dex, and Dex-induced transcription of pck1 was strikingly increased in Cry-deficient livers. Finally, cry1-/-;cry2-/- mice subjected to 8 weeks of chronic Dex treatment exhibited incomplete suppression of circulating corticosterone and greater glucose intolerance compared with wildtype littermates subjected to the same chronic treatment, consistent with enhanced transcriptional response to the synthetic glucocorticoid ligand. Total RNA was obtained from WT and Cry1/2 KO MEFs treated with Dexamethasone (1uM) or control EtOH for 16 hours.

Project description:Despite the widespread use of glucocorticoids (GCs) for treating inflammatory conditions, the underlying mechanisms of their anti-inflammatory effects are not understood. Moreover, the majority of molecular investigations have examined the effects of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation prior to inflammatory challenges. However, clinically relevant situations are emulated by a GC intervention initiated in the midst of rampant inflammatory responses. To characterize the effects of a late GC treatment, we performed systematic profiling of macrophage transcriptional and regulatory landscapes with Dexamethasone (Dex) treatment either before or after stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). GR activation by Dex following LPS stimulation had a similar anti-inflammatory profile in comparison to GR pre-activation, while ameliorating the disruption of metabolic genes. Unexpectedly, the chromatin occupancy pattern of GR is not predictive of the Dex-regulated expression changes and shows little evidence for the widely accepted ‘trans-repression by tethering’ model. Rather, we find that GR activation results in global blockade of NF-κB binding to chromatin. Integrative analyses of gene expression, transcription factor occupancy, and chromatin accessibility data highlight distinct mechanisms through which GR controls inflammatory macrophages: prevention of NF-κB chromatin occupancy and activation of negative regulators such as Nfkbia, Dusp1, Tnfaip3, and Tsc22d3. Our investigation with differentially timed GC treatments reveals molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic actions of GR for modulating the ‘inflamed epigenome’.

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a crucial drug target in multiple myeloma as its activation with glucocorticoids effectively triggers myeloma cell death. However, as high-dose glucocorticoids are also associated with deleterious side effects, novel approaches are urgently needed to improve GR’s action in myeloma. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone (Spi) enhances Dex-induced cell killing in primary, newly diagnosed GC-sensitive myeloma cells, while in a relapsed GC-resistant setting, Spi alone induces distinct myeloma cell killing. On a mechanistic level, we find that a GR-MR crosstalk is arising from an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells. Quantitative dimerization assays show that Spi reduces Dex-induced GR-MR heterodimerization and completely abolishes Dex-induced MR MR homodimerization but leaves GR-GR homodimerization intact. Unbiased transcriptomics further reveals that c-myc and many of its target genes are downregulated most by Dex and Spi combined, while proteomics analyses identify that several metabolic hallmarks are modulated most by this combination treatment. Finally, we identified a subset of Dex+Spi downregulated genes and proteins that may predict prognosis in the CoMMpass patient cohort. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma as it provides novel strategies towards glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction.
