Next Generation Sequencing and differential expression analysis in stem-like vs. non-stem breast cancer cells in response to HDAC1 and HDAC7 knockdown

ABSTRACT: Purpose: We performed RNA-seq differential expression analysis after 72h HDAC1 and HDAC7 knockdown in order to evaluate the transcriptional regulation exerted by HDAC1 and HDAC7 in a stem-like (BPLER) vs. non-stem (HMLER) breast cancer (BrCa) cell model (please search for keywords "BPLER" or "HMLER" in GEO to access over 240 associated data sets). Results: HDAC7 knockdown by a pool of siRNAs resulted in altered expression of nearly three times the genes in BPLER vs. HMLER cells (2545 vs. 763), with the two cell types sharing altered expression of 328 genes. In stem-like BPLER cells, HDAC7 knockdown caused significant alterations in gene expression (1068 down and 1477 up). Fewer genes, less than half of BPLER, were altered in non-stem HMLER cells (448 down and 315 up), with 199 repressed and 129 activated genes shared between the two cell types. In contrast, 72h HDAC1 knockdown resulted in nearly equal numbers of altered genes in BPLER vs. HMLER cells (3187 vs. 2627), with the two cell types sharing altered expression of 637 genes. Moreover, the number of repressed (1570 vs. 1307) and activated (1617 vs. 1320) gene transcripts was similar in the two cell types In HMLER cells, HDAC7 knockdown resulted in alterations of significantly fewer gene transcripts compared to HDAC1 knockdown (508 vs. 2681), in both repressed (305 vs. 1362) and activated (203 vs. 1319) transcripts. Conclusions: Cumulatively, these results highlight that HDAC7 regulates nearly three times as many genes in stem-like compared to non-stem BrCa cells. In contrast, HDAC1 regulates equal number of genes in the same cell context, suggesting a predominant association of HDAC7 with the cancer stem cell phenotype.

Project description:Title of Publication: Histone Deacetylase 7 Regulates Cell Survival and TCR Signaling in CD4/CD8 Double-Positive Thymocytes Abstract of publicaton: CD4/CD8 double-positive (DP) thymocytes express the transcriptional repressor Histone Deacetylase 7 (HDAC7), a class IIa HDAC that is exported from the cell nucleus after T cell receptor (TCR) engagement. Through signal-dependent nuclear export, class IIa HDACs such as HDAC7 mediate signal-dependent changes in gene expression that are important to developmental fate decisions in multiple tissues. We report that HDAC7 is exported from the cell nucleus during positive selection in thymocytes, and regulates genes mediating the coupling between TCR engagement and downstream events that determine cell survival. Thymocytes lacking HDAC7 are inefficiently positively selected due to a severely shortened lifespan and exhibit a truncated repertoire of TCR J segments. The expression of multiple important mediators and modulators of the response to TCR engagement is altered in HDAC7-deficient thymocytes, resulting in increased tonic MAP kinase activity that contributes to the observed loss of viability. Remarkably, the activity of Protein Kinase D, the kinase that mediates nuclear export of HDAC7 in response to TCR signaling, is also increased in HDAC7-deficient thymocytes, suggesting that HDAC7 nuclear export governs a self-sustaining auto-excitatory loop. These experiments add to the understanding of the life/death decision in thymic T cell development, define a novel function for class IIa HDACs, and point to a novel feed-forward mechanism whereby these molecules regulate their own state and mediate stable developmental transitions. Goal of Microarray experiment: We did these experiments to determine how alteration of the function of HDAC7, a site-specific and signal-dependent repressor of transcription, changes gene expression in CD4/CD8 DP thymocytes. Three biological replicate samples were prepared for each non-wild type mouse strain (Samples 7-18). Six biological replicates were prepared for the wild type strain (Samples 1-6). Total RNA was prepared from isolated CD4/CD8 Double-positive thymocytes and labeled with the Affymetrix Whole-Transcript labeling protocol. Labeled probes were hybridized to one Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0ST array each. Data from .cel files were normalized using RMA, in normalization groups representing each of the binary comparisons made. These binary comparisons between sample groups represent gene expression changes due to loss of HDAC7 (samples 1-3 vs. 7-9), transgenic expression of an HDAC7-VP16 fusion protein (samples 4-6 vs. 10-12), positive thymic selection (samples 1-6 vs. samples 11-15), and negative thymic selection (Samples 11-15 vs. samples 16-18).
