RNA-seq analysis of mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in medium containing MEK and Akt inhibitors

ABSTRACT: Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression can even be observed in the same type of cells, present in a similar environment. Transcriptional bursting is thought to be one of contributing factors to the heterogeneity, but it remains elusive how the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting (e.g. burst size, burst frequency, and noise induced by transcriptional bursting) are regulated in mammalian cells. To unbiasedly identify genes regulating the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting, we performed large-scale CRISPR/-Cas9 based screening and functional analysis, and found that Akt/MAPK signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting. To further characterize how these pathways affect mESC gene expression programs, we performed RNA-Seq analysis of mESCs cultured in standard (Std), 2i and Akt/MAPK signal-inhibitor containing medium (PD-MK). We found that expression levels of some genes encoding transcription elongation related factors were upregulated in PD-MK condition.

Allele-specific mRNA expression analysis in 129/CAST hybrid mESCs by single-cell full-length total RNA-sequencing

Project description:Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression can even be observed in the same type of cells, present in a similar environment. Transcriptional bursting is thought to be one of contributing factors to the heterogeneity, but it remains elusive how the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting (e.g. burst size, burst frequency, and noise induced by transcriptional bursting) are regulated in mammalian cells. Here, by using single-cell, full-length total RNA-sequencing, we performed genome-wide analysis of transcriptional bursting in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We found that the kinetics of transcriptional bursting is gene-specific and is determined by a combination of promoter and gene body binding proteins, including polycomb repressive complex 2 and transcription elongation-related factors.

Transcriptional kinetics and molecular functions of long non-coding RNAs

Project description:An increasing number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have confirmed important functions, yet little is known about their transcriptional dynamics and it remains challenging to determine their regulatory functions. Here, allele-sensitive single-cell RNA-seq was used to demonstrate that lncRNAs have lower burst frequencies compared to mRNAs. We observed an increased cell-to-cell variability in lncRNA expression that was due to more sporadic bursting (lower frequency) with larger numbers of RNA molecules being produced. Exploiting heterogeneity in asynchronously growing cells, we identified and experimentally validated lncRNAs with cell-state specific functions involved in cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Finally, we identified cis-functioning lncRNAs and knockdown of these lncRNAs modulated either transcriptional burst frequency or size of the nearby protein-coding gene. Collectively, we identify distinct transcriptional regulation of lncRNAs and we demonstrate a role for lncRNAs in the regulation of transcriptional bursting of mRNAs.

Caulis Polygoni Multiflori accelerates megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis via activating PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK (MAPK) signaling pathways

Project description:In vtro and in vivo experiments revealed that Caulis Polygoni Multiflori (CPM) significantly induced megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation and maturation. To investigate the underlying mechanism of action of CPM in promoting MK differentiation, RNA-seq was performed to reveal the gene expression profile in MK differentiation induced by CPM. Our results showed that CPM up-regulated 850 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), down-regulated 1100 DEGs. Disease Ontology (DO) enrichment analysis revealed that CPM could regulate thrombocytopenia, blood platelet disease and blood coagulation disease. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Reactome pathway enrichment analysis suggested that CPM regulated PI3K/Akt and ERK/MEK (MAPK) signaling pathways.

Transcriptomic profiles of white adipose tissue and liver in rats fed either a high-sucrose diet or high-sucrose diet combined with quercetin treatment

Project description:Adult male rats of the PD/Cub (PD hereafter) strains were fed a laboratory chow diet (STD, ssniff RZ, ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany). At the age of 12 months, rats within each strain were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was fed a high-sucrose diet (HSD, sucrose 70 cal%) while the experimental group was fed a HSD fortified with quercetin (10 g/kg food, Sigma-Aldrich).

Methylation of Dual Specificity Phosphatase 4 Controls Cell Differentiation

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinases are inactivated by dual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs), whose activities are tightly regulated during cell differentiation. Using knockdown screening and single-cell transcriptional analysis, we determined that DUSP4 is the phosphatase that specifically inactivates p38 kinase for the promotion of megakaryocyte (Mk) differentiation. Mechanistically, PRMT1-mediated methylation of DUSP4 triggers its ubiquitinylation by an E3 ligase HUWE1. Interestingly, the mechanistic axis of the DUSP4 degradation and p38 activation is also associated with a transcriptional signature of immune activation in Mk cells. In the context of thrombocytopenia observed in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), we demonstrated that high levels of p38 MAPK and PRMT1 are associated with low platelet counts and adverse prognosis, while pharmacological inhibition of p38 MAPK or PRMT1 stimulates megakaryopoiesis. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the role of the PRMT1-DUSP4-p38 axis on Mk differentiation and present a targeting strategy for treatment of thrombocytopenia associated with MDS.

Co-condensation between transcription factor and coactivator p300 modulates transcriptional bursting kinetics

Project description:The coactivator p300/CBP regulates genes by facilitating the assembly of transcriptional machinery and by acetylating histones and other factors. However, it remains mostly unclear how both functions of p300 are dynamically coordinated during gene control. Here, we showed that p300 appears to orchestrate two functions through the formation of dynamic co-condensates with certain transcription factors (TFs), which is mediated by the interactions between the TF’s trans-activation domain (TAD) and the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of p300. Co-condensation enables spatially defined, all-or-none activation of p300’s catalytic activity, priming the recruitment of other coactivators including Brd4. We further revealed that co-condensation modulates transcriptional initiation rate and burst duration of target genes, underlying nonlinear and cooperative gene regulatory functions. Intriguingly, such modulation is consistent with how p300 shapes transcriptional bursting kinetics globally. Together, complementary lines of evidence suggest a new p300-mediated gene control mechanism, where TF and p300 co-condensation contributes to transcriptional bursting regulation and cooperative gene control.

FOXO3a Is A Major Target Of Inactivation By PI3K/AKT Signaling In Aggressive Neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system with a highly variable prognosis. Activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in neuroblastoma is correlated with poor patient prognosis, but the precise downstream effectors mediating this effect have not been determined. Here, we identify the forkhead transcription factor FOXO3a as a key target of the PI3K/AKT pathway in neuroblastoma. FOXO3a expression was elevated in low stage neuroblastoma tumors and normal embryonal neuroblasts, but reduced in late stage neuroblastoma. Inactivation of FOXO3a by AKT was essential for neuroblastoma cell survival. Treatment of neuroblastoma cells with the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PI-103 activated FOXO3a and triggered apoptosis. This effect was rescued by FOXO3a silencing. Conversely, apoptosis induced by PI-103 or the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 was potentiated by FOXO3a overexpression. Further, levels of total or phosphorylated FOXO3a correlated closely with apoptotic sensitivity to MK-2206. In clinical specimens, there was an inverse relationship between gene expression signatures regulated by PI3K signaling and FOXO3a transcriptional activity. Moreover, high PI3K activity and low FOXO3a activity were each associated with an extremely poor prognosis. Our work indicates that expression of FOXO3a and its targets offer useful prognostic markers as well as biomarkers for PI3K/AKT inhibitor efficacy in neuroblastoma. Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 profiling of SY5Y-TetR-FOXO3A cells treated with doxycycline and/or the PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PI-103. Each condition profiled in triplicate.
