Project description:Despite significant progress in therapy, melanoma is still the most lethal form of skin cancer, with a rising incidence worldwide. Little is known about the impact of deregulated Hedgehog-GLI (HH-GLI) signalling pathway in the progression of this disease. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that in melanoma activation of HH-GLI signaling pathway is non- canonical due to its crosstalk with MAPK signaling pathway, which is the most deregulated pathway in melanoma. In order to investigate the link between the two pathways and to find novel GLI transcriptional targets that could be considered for potential combination therapy, we performed RNA sequencing on three melanoma cell lines with overexpressed GLI1, GLI2 and GLI3 and combined them with results of ChIP sequencing on endogenous GLI1, GLI2 and GLI3 proteins on the same cell lines. RNA-seq revealed a total of 808 DEGs for GLI1, 941 DEGs for GLI2 and 58 DEGs for GLI3. ChIP-seq identified 527 genes that contained GLI1 binding sites in their promoters, 1103 for GLI2 and 553 for GLI3. After combining these results, 21 targets were selected for validation by qPCR. Fifteen of these targets were validated in the tested cell lines, 6 of which were detected by both RNA-seq and ChIP-seq.

Project description:Purpose: This study seeks to determine whether GLI3 is required to recruit the SMARCC1 complex to GLI enhancers in the limb. Methods: To determine if Gli3 is required to recruit SMARCC1 to its anhancers, we performed differential chromatin binding to compare SMARCC1 binding in control and Gli3 mutants. We performed Cut&Run for SMARCC1 binding on individually genotyped E11.5 (40-43s) anterior forelimb pairs from control (Gli3+/+; 3 replicates) and Gli3 mutant (Gli3-/-; 4 replicates) embryos. Results: We found that there is no major difference in SMARCC1 binding in Gli3-mutants compared to controls.

Project description:Proper Hedgehog (HH) signaling is essential for normal embryonic and postnatal development, while de-regulated HH signaling drives numerous pediatric and adult cancers. In pancreatic cancer, paracrine HH signaling from tumor cells to fibroblasts contributes to tumor progression. However, the role of HH signaling in pancreatic cancer remains controversial, with both tumor-promoting and tumor-restraining functions reported. Notably, the GLI family of transcription factors (GLI1, GLI2, GLI3), key downstream effectors of HH signaling, remain poorly understood in pancreatic cancer. In this study we investigated the individual and combined roles of GLI1-3 in pancreatic cancer progression. Inducible, fibroblast-specific deletion of Gli2 and Gli3 in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer progression reduces collagen deposition and decreases immunosuppressive myeloid cell infiltration. Further, Gli2 and Gli3 deletion leads to an increase in T cells during PanIN stages and an increase in NK cells in implanted tumors, which in turn suppresses tumor growth. Surprisingly, combined loss of all three Glis leads to a widespread loss of acinar cells, an increase in macrophage infiltration, and an increase in tumor growth. Together, these data indicate that a baseline level of Gli is necessary to maintain proper balance of cell types in the pancreas, and the coordinated activity of GLI1-3 directs the fibroinflammatory response in pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Purpose: Most Hedgehog responsive gene expression is mediated through GLI de-repression. Additionally GLI -repression is proposed to play roles in limb pre-patterning before HH pathway activation. This study evaluates if GLI repression is established prior to HH pathway activation. Methods: To determine if GLI-repression is established prior to pathway activation, we used genomic approaches to study GLI-mediated repression using the mouse developing limb as a model. We identified pre-HH (E9.25, 21-23S) and post-HH (E10.5, 32-25S) GLI3 binding regions using CUT&RUN for endogenous FLAG-tagged GLI3 proteins. Using a combination of ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq, we tested whether loss of Gli3 prior to HH signaling was able to de-repress genes and enhancers, as it does after HH signaling. Results: Prior to HH signaling, GLI3 binds to poised, accessible regions with histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins, similar to post-HH signaling. Despite GLI3 binding to most regions as it does in the post-HH limb, loss of Gli3 is unable to prematurely active target genes or enhancers. Furthermore, we find that GLI3-dependent chromatin compaction does not occur until roughly 10 hours after HH signaling would have normally been induced. Collectively, these results support that GLI repressor proteins are inert prior to HH pathway activation.

Project description:Aberrant sonic hedeghog signaling is implicated in the development of various cancer entities such as medulloblastoma. The canonical signaling cascade has been studied for years. Activation of GLI transcription factors was revealed as the driving force upon pathway activation. Phosphorylation by Proteinkinase A, Casein Kinase 1 and Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 β has been found to influence the degradation of the GLI transcription factors. However, the deeper role of phosphorylation in the signal transduction remains unclear. We, therefore, applied comprehensive HPLC-MS/MS based phosphoproteomics to reveal phosphorylation dynamics underlying the chemical activation and inhibition of sonic hedgehog signaling in human medulloblastoma cells. Human medulloblastoma cells were treated with SAG (Hh pathway induction) and Vismodegib (Hh pathway inhibition) for 5 and 15 minutes. Our phosphoproteomic profiling revealed a central role of phosphorylation in the regulation of ciliary assembly, trafficking and signal transduction after 5 minutes treatment. ERK/MAPK signaling besides protein kinase A signaling and mTOR signaling were differentially regulated. Activation of Polo-like kinase 1 and inhibtion of Caseinkinase 2A1 was characteristic for Vismodegib treatment while SAG treatment induced Aurora kinase A activity. Distinctive phosphorylation of central players of sonic Hh signaling such as Smoothened, SUFU, Gli2 and Gli3 was obtained after 15 minutes treatment.

Project description:Differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic islet endocrine cells is a complex process, involving the stepwise modulation of key developmental pathways, such as the Hedgehog signaling inhibition during early differentiation stages. In tandem with this active inhibition, key transcription factors for the islet endocrine cell fate, such as HNF1A, show specific changes in their expression patterns. Here we designed a forthright pilot study aimed at investigating the potential interconnection between HH-signaling inhibition and the increase in the HNF1A expression during early regeneration, by inducing changes in the GLI code. This unveiled a link between the two, where GLI3-R mediated Hedgehog target genes inhibition is apparently required for HNF1A efficient expression.

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to direct digit number and identity in the vertebrate limb. We have characterized the Gli-dependent cis-regulatory network through a combination of whole genome ChIP-on-chip and transcriptional profiling of the developing mouse limb. These analyses identified approximately 5,000 high quality Gli3 binding sites, including all known Gli-dependent enhancers. Discrete binding regions exhibit a higher-order clustering, highlighting the complexity of cis-regulatory interactions. Further, Gli3 binds inertly to previously identified neural-specific Gli enhancers, demonstrating the accessibility of their cis-regulatory elements. Intersection of DNA binding data with gene expression profiles predicted 205 putative limb target genes. The supplementary bed file contains all 5,274 high quality binding Gli3 binding sites reported in the paper.

Project description:Foregut organogenesis is regulated by inductive interactions between the endoderm and the adjacent mesoderm. We identified genes induced in the foregut progenitors by the adjacent mesoderm. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of early foregut endoderm gene expression resulting from mesoderm induction and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Xenopus foregut endoderm explants cultured from Stages 15 to 23 either intact with mesoderm or as endoderm alone. Total RNA was isolated from the endoderm of these two culture conditions in quadruplicate and were subjected to Affymetrix microarray analysis.

Project description:Purpose: The response to Hedgehog signaling in the limb is driven by GLI bound enhancers and the majority of Hh targets in the developing limb bud are regulated solely by the activity of GLI-repressor. Currently we do not have a comprehensive understanding of how GLI bound enhancers respond Hedgehog signaling. The goal of this study is to identify how GLI bound enhancers are regulated by Hedgehog signaling and specifically by GLI-repressor. Methods: ChIP-seq was performed in Embryonic day 10.5 mouse limb buds from mice with endogenously FLAG tagged Gli3. Results: We identified 7282 GLI3 binding regions in the E10.5 limb bud.
