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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Project description: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.

Expression data from Ad-β-catenin-GFP or Ad-GFP infected cardiomyocytes

Project description:The Wnt pathway is a key regulator of embryonic development, cell growth, differentiation, polarity formation, neural development, carcinogenesis, and stem cell self-renewal, and deregulation of the Wnt signalling is associated with many human disease. The central player in the Wnt pathway is β-catenin, A recent study has shown that β-catenin/Tcf/Lef signaling pathway is an essential growth-regulatory pathway in cardiomyocytes. We used DNA microarrays to detail the global trends in gene expression underlying β-catenin-overexpressed cardiomyocytes and identified distinct classes of up- or down-regulated genes during this process. Our findings suggest that β-catenin plays a critical role in regulating cardiac dysfunction at transcriptional level and may provide novel insight into how β-catenin modulates heart diseases. Cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control or β-catenin adenoviruses for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to define the effects of β-catenin on the global programme of gene expression in primary cardiomyocytes. To that end, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control (G) or β-catenin adenovirus (B) for 24 hours.

Cell-line-specific gene expression changes following inactivation of the CTNNB1 gene in human colorectal cancer cell lines

Project description:Unrestrained transcriptional activity of β-CATENIN and its binding partner TCF7L2 frequently underlies colorectal tumor initiation and is considered an obligatory oncogenic driver throughout intestinal carcinogenesis. Yet, the TCF7L2 gene carries inactivating mutations in about 10 % of colorectal tumors and is non-essential in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. To determine whether CRC cells acquire TCF7L2-independence through cancer-specific compensation by other T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer‑binding factor (LEF) family members, or rather lose addiction to β-CATENIN/TCF7L2-driven gene expression altogether, we generated multiple CRC cell lines entirely negative for TCF/LEF or β-CATENIN expression. Viability of these cells demonstrates complete β‑CATENIN- and TCF/LEF-independence, albeit one β-CATENIN-deficient cell line eventually became senescent. Absence of TCF/LEF proteins and β-CATENIN consistently impaired CRC cell proliferation, reminiscent of mitogenic effects of WNT/β-CATENIN signaling in the healthy intestine. Despite this common phenotype, β-CATENIN-deficient cells exhibited highly cell-line-specific gene expression changes with little overlap between β-CATENIN- and TCF7L2-dependent transcriptomes. Apparently, β‑CATENIN and TCF7L2 control sizeable fractions of their target genes independently from each other. The observed divergence of β-CATENIN and TCF7L2 transcriptional programs, and the finding that neither β-CATENIN nor TCF/LEF activity is strictly required for CRC cell survival has important implications when evaluating these factors as potential drug targets.

Multiple regulatory intrinsically disordered motifs control FOXO4 transcription factor binding and function

Project description:Transcription factors harbour defined intrinsically disordered regulatory regions, which raises the question of how they mediate binding to structured co-regulators and how this regulates activity. Here, we present a detailed molecular regulatory mechanism of Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4) by the structured transcriptional co-regulator β-catenin. We find that the largely disordered FOXO4 C-terminal region, which contains its transactivation domain binds β-catenin through two defined interaction sites, and this is regulated by combined PKB/AKT- and CK1-mediated phosphorylation. Binding of β-catenin competes with the auto-inhibitory interaction of the FOXO4 disordered region with its DNA-binding forkhead domain, and thereby enhances FOXO4 transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we show that binding of the β-catenin inhibitor protein ICAT is compatible with FOXO4 binding to β-catenin, suggesting that ICAT acts as a molecular switch between anti-proliferative FOXO and pro-proliferative Wnt/TCF/LEF signalling. Together these data illustrate how the interplay of intrinsically disordered regions, post-translational modifications and co-factor binding contribute to transcription factor function. Highlights • The interaction network between FOXO4 and β-catenin was deciphered • FOXO4 auto-inhibition interferes with DNA binding and is counter-acted by β-catenin • FOXO4 exists in multiple conformations regulated by phosphorylation and co-factors • ICAT switches between FOXO4 and TCF/LEF transcription factors
