Development of LHX6-inducible system in PK-1 and PK-9 cells

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic gene silencing by aberrant DNA methylation leads to loss of key cellular pathways in tumorigenesis. DNA methylation-mediated silenced genes in pancreatic cancer were searched by methyl-CpG targeted transcriptional activation (MeTA) method and LHX6 (LIM homeobox 6), a transcription factor involved in embryogenesis and head development, was selected as one of candidate genes. LHX6 was downregulated in most pancreatic cancer cell lines (83%: 10/12) mainly through promoter hypermethylation and histone deacetylation. Furthermore, LHX6 was also methylated in primary pancreatic cancers in a tumor-specific manner (57%: 16/28). In order to assess the biological significance of LHX6 in pancreatic tumorigenesis, we first performed colony formation assay and found that LHX6 re-expression inhibited colony formation in pancreatic cancer cell lines. Similarly, inducible expression of LHX6 inhibited cell proliferation and migration in LHX6 low-expressing pancreatic cancer cell lines. On the other hand, knockdown of LHX6 accelerated cell proliferation in LHX6 high-expressing pancreatic cancer cell lines. Our present results suggest that epigenetic inactivation of LHX6 plays an important role in pancreatic tumorigenesis by promoting cell proliferation.

Comparison of gene expression signature between nascent Lhx6-GFP+ cells from mouse embryonic brain and differentiated Lhx6-GFP+ cells from ES cells (as well as comparing those of Lhx6-GFP+ and Lhx6-GFP- cells from ES cells)

Project description:There was a remarkable similarity in the molecular properties of the MGE-GFP+ and ES-GFP+ cells. In particular, genes that are important for medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) and cortical interneurons development are both high in expression in both MGE-Lhx6-GFP+ and ES-Lhx6-GFP+ cells (compared to ES-Lhx6-GFP- cells). To investigate how closely ES cells-derived Lhx6-GFP+ cells resembled authentic Lhx6+ MGE cells, and to define the molecular properties of the Lhx6-GFP+ and Lhx6-GFP- cells from differentiated ES cells, we compared their gene expression profiles. We used FACS to purify GFP+ cells from the E12.5 MGE of Lhx6-GFP transgenic mice. ES-Lhx6-GFP+ cells and ES-Lhx6-GFP- cells (both from D12 EB aggregates) were also isolated by fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) and all of the RNA samples were subjected to RNA expression microarray analyses.

Construction of IRX4-inducible system in pancreatic cancer cell lines, PK-1 and PK-9

Project description:Epigenetic gene silencing by aberrant DNA methylation is one of the important mechanisms leading to the loss of key cellular pathways in tumorigenesis. We have previously reported that IRX4 (Iroquois homeobox 4) was highly downregulated by promoter hypermethylation in pancreatic cancer cell lines as well as in resected primary pancreatic cancers. Based on these data, we have constructed a tetracycline-inducible IRX4 expressing system using pancreatic cancer cell lines PK-1 and PK-9. IRX4 induction significantly suppressed cell growth and caused apoptosis in both PK-1 and PK-9. Because IRX4 is a sequence-specific transcription factor, we tried to analyze IRX4 downstream events by performing microarray analyses using IRX4 inducible PK-1 cells with or without tetracycline. We found that IRX4 induction upregulated several genes that had tumor suppressive functions such as PRDM1, CRYAB, and IL32, and downregulated several genes that had oncogenic functions such as PTCH1, CD36, TFAP2C, and MUC4. These results suggest that DNA methylation-mediated silencing of IRX4 may contribute to pancreatic tumorigenesis through aberrant transcriptional regulation of cancer-related genes.

Gene expression in E10.5 Maxillary Arch Mesenchyme from control and Lhx6-/-;Lhx8-/- mutant embryos

Project description:We used laser capture microdissection to isolate maxillary arch mesenchyme from E10.5 embryos. This tissue was collected from both control (3x) and Lhx6-/-;Lhx8-/- mutant (3x) samples. Transcriptional profiling was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. The mutant mice are of mixed genetic background of C57BL/6J, 129 and CD-1 strains. The head of E10.5 embryos was collected and embedded in Optimal Cutting Temperature resin (Tissue-Tek) by flash freezing on dry ice. The frozen sections were collected on polyethylene naphthalate membrane slides (Leica). Leica LMD6000 Laser Micro-Dissection System was used to cut out the normal expression domain of Lhx6 and Lhx8 in the maxillary arch mesenchyme. The tissue was collected from the entire antero-posterior extent of the maxillary arches. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen). Subsequent steps of transcriptional profiling were performed by the New York University Genome Technology Center, beginning with the amplification of RNA by Ovation Nano Amplification system (NuGen). RNA samples from three wild-type and three Lhx6−/−;Lhx8−/− mutant embryos, all somite count- and sex-matched (females), were analyzed with Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. A list of Lhx-regulated genes were generated from the microarray result based on the following criteria: fold change in the average expression between wild types and Lhx6−/−;Lhx8−/− mutants is >1.5, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05) and the average intensity of the probe signal is >100 for wild-type and/or mutant samples. The resulting list of 212 genes was used for a gene ontology analysis with DAVID (27,28).

Application of MeTA-array to nine pancreatic cancer cell lines

Project description:Aberrant DNA hypermethylation, the most well defined epigenetic changes in cancer, is associated with inappropriate gene silencing and this feature is utilized to search for tumor-specific DNA methylation biomarkers. Methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins (MBPs) can elicit the repressive potential of methylated DNA and play a major role in gene silencing mechanisms. Therefore, if the genes governed by MBPs are specifically reactivated, it should be possible to uncover them. We developed a method termed “methyl-CpG targeted transcriptional activation (MeTA)” that employs a fusion gene comprised of the MBD from MBD2 and the NFkB transcriptional activation domain. Microarray coupled with MeTA (MeTA-array) provides not only the information about methylated genes but also the one about transcriptional repression in a single experiment. We applied MeTA-array to 12 pancreatic cancer cell lines along with HPDE (normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cell line) and identified 31 candidate tumor-specific hypermethylated genes; 26 of them have never been reported previously using the conventional DNA demethylating agents. Seven genes, IRX4, LHX6, NEFH, NEFL, NEFM, NPTX2 and TMEM204 were further examined their methylation statuses by MSP, and we found that 100% (21/21) of IRX4, 62% (13/21) of LHX6, 100% (21/21) of NEFH, 100% (21/21) of NEFL, 100% (21/21) of NEFM, 100% (21/21) of NPTX2 and 95% (20/21) of TMEM204 were methylated in our series of pancreatic cancer cell lines. Furthermore, 68% (15/22) of IRX4, 55% (12/22) of LHX6, 55% (12/22) of NEFH, 59% (23/22) of NEFL, 82% (18/22) of NEFM and 82% (18/22) of NPTX2 were also hypermethylated in primary pancreatic cancer specimens in a tumor-specific manner. Our results suggest that MeTA-array is a highly efficient method to identify methylation-mediated transcriptionally silenced genes in human cancer.

Project description:In this study,RAC1 expression was silenced by RNA interference in colon cancer cell lines, and investigate the correlation between RAC1 expression and colon cancer proliferation,and differential expressed genes were analized by gene assay and qPCR technologe.The proliferation and colony formation ability of colon cancer cells were significantly reduced after RAC1 knockdown. More 1200 known genes were found to be involved in the RAC1 functions related tumorigenesis by genechip analysis, these genes related to cell proliferation/apoptosis and cell cycle process. qRT-PCR results showed an expression pattern consistent with that of the genechip analysis. Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference was used to knockdown RAC1 expression in colon cancer cell lines. And cell proliferation assays . GeneChip analysis were carried out for mRNA expression profiling, followed, the expressed levels of mRNA and protein were measured by Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively.
