Gene expression profiling of shRNA transduced rat hippocampal neurons

ABSTRACT: Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a member of the sirtuin family, acts as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent protein deacetylase, mono-adenosine diphosphate-ribosyltransferase, and fatty acid deacylase and plays critical roles in inflammation, aging, glycolysis, and DNA repair. Accumulating evidence has suggested that SIRT6 is involved in brain functions such as neuronal differentiation, neurogenesis, and learning and memory. However, the precise molecular roles of SIRT6 during neuronal circuit formation are not well understood. In this study, we attemped to elucidate the molecular roles of SIRT6 on neurite development using a primary culture of hippocampal neurons. We observed that SIRT6 was abundantly localized in the nucleus, and its expression was markedly increased during neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis. Using shRNA-mediated SIRT6 knockdown, we showed that the dendritic length and number of dendrite branches were significantly reduced in SIRT6 knockdown neurons. Microarray and subsequent gene ontology analysis revealed that reducing SIRT6 caused the downregulation of immediate early genes (IEGs) and alteration of several biological processes including MAPK (ERK1/2) signaling. We found that nuclear accumulation of phosphorylated ERK1/2 was significantly reduced in SIRT6 knockdown neurons. Overexpression of SIRT6 promoted dendritic length and branching, but the mutants lacking deacetylase activity had no significant effect on the dendritic morphology. Collectively, the presented findings reveal a role of SIRT6 in dendrite morphogenesis and suggest that SIRT6 may act as an important regulator of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway that mediates IEG expression, which leads to dendritic development.

SIRT6 suppresses pancreatic cancer through control of Lin28b [miRNA-seq]

Project description:Chromatin remodeling proteins are frequently dysregulated in human cancer, yet little is known about how they control tumorigenesis. Here, we uncover an epigenetic program mediated by the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) that is critical for suppression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the most lethal malignancies. SIRT6 inactivation accelerates PDAC progression and metastasis via upregulation of Lin28b, a negative regulator of the let-7 microRNA. SIRT6 loss results in histone hyperacetylation at the Lin28b promoter, Myc recruitment, and pronounced induction of Lin28b and downstream let-7 target genes, HMGA2, IGF2BP1 and IGF2BP3. This epigenetic program defines a distinct subset representing 30-40% of human PDAC, characterized by poor prognosis and an exquisite dependence on Lin28b for tumor growth. Thus, we identify SIRT6 as an important PDAC tumor suppressor, and uncover the Lin28b pathway as a potential therapeutic target in a molecularlydefined PDAC subset. Small RNA-Seq experiments for PLKO and shLIN28B (three replicates each) in human Panc3.27 PDAC cells to identify miRNAs modulateed by LIN28B knockdown.

Chromatin Remodeling Inactivates Activity Genes and Regulates Neural Coding

Project description:Activity-dependent transcription influences neuronal connectivity, but the roles and mechanisms of inactivation of activity-dependent genes have remained poorly understood. Genome-wide analyses in the mouse cerebellum revealed that the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex deposits the histone variant H2A.z at promoters of activity-dependent genes, thereby triggering their inactivation. Purification of translating mRNAs from synchronously developing granule neurons (Sync-TRAP) showed that conditional knockout of the core NuRD subunit Chd4 impairs inactivation of activity-dependent genes when neurons undergo dendrite pruning. Chd4 knockout or expression of NuRD-regulated activity genes impairs dendrite pruning. Imaging of behaving mice revealed hyperresponsivity of granule neurons to sensorimotor stimuli upon Chd4 knockout. Our findings define an epigenetic mechanism that inactivates activity-dependent transcription and regulates dendrite patterning and sensorimotor encoding in the brain.

SIRT6 regulates glucose metabolism and glutamatergic synapse in the mouse retina

Project description:Microarray analysis on total retinal RNA from 15 day old Sirt6 wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice. The retina is one of the major energy consuming tissues within the body. In this context, synaptic transmission between light-excited rod photoreceptors and downstream ON-bipolar neurons is a highly demanding energy consuming process. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a NAD-dependent deacylase, plays a key role in regulating glucose metabolism. In this study, we demonstrate that SIRT6 is highly expressed in the retina, controlling levels of histone H3K9 and H3K56 acetylation. Notably, despite apparent normal histology, SIRT6 deficiency caused major retinal transmission defects concomitant to changes in expression of glycolytic genes and glutamate receptors, as well as elevated levels of apoptosis in inner retina cells. Our results identify SIRT6 as a critical modulator of retinal function, likely through its effects on chromatin. Microarray analysis of total retinal RNA from 15 day old Sirt6 wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice with 3 replicates in each condition using the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.1 ST array (transcript (gene) version).

Microarray of SIRT6 KO in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:We identified the specific role of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and evaluated its therapeutic and prognostic potential. SIRT6 knockdown by shRNA inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells; moreover, depletion of SIRT6 suppressed HCC tumor growth in vivo. SIRT6 silencing significantly down regulated the growth of HCC cell lines via induction of cellular senescence, which was attributed by DNA damage in p16/Rb and p53/p21-independent manners. We also showed that SIRT6 knockdown increased the number of G2/M phase arrested cells by increasing cyclin B1 and 14-3-3-∂. Moreover, SIRT6 levels were significantly higher in HCC cell lines than a normal hepatic cell line, and were higher in HCC than non-tumor tissues. Aberrant SIRT6 expression correlated with poor prognostic features of HCC. Taken together, our findings suggest SIRT6 may act as a tumor promoter by preventing cellular senescence attributed by DNA damage and suggests that targeting SIRT6 could be a promising therapeutic approach for cancer treatment.

Transcriptional Profiling of Class IV da Neurons

Project description:Elucidating the molecular mechanisms controlling dendrite development is key to understanding the pivotal role these structures play in influencing synaptic integration and neural function. Despite significant advances in this field, genetic pleiotropy remains a significant impediment to investigating such complex developmental processes. To circumvent this problem, we have applied class specific neuron transcriptional expression profiling coupled to an in vivo RNAi functional validation screen in order to dissect the molecular bases of Drosophila class IV dendritic arborization (da) neuron dendritogenesis. Microarray analyses reveal transcriptional regulation as one highly enriched biological and functional category with 420 transcription factors significantly expressed in class IV neurons. Among these, we identify roles for 268 genes in mediating a broad spectrum of functions including dendritic field coverage, branching, routing, and tiling. Collectively, our analyses provide a more comprehensive framework of the role complex transcriptional networks play in directing distinct aspects of class specific dendrite morphogenesis. Gene expression profiling of class IV da neurons performed at the third instar larval stage of development from two independent cell isolations from 40-50 age-matched third instar larvae expressing mCD8::GFP under the control of the GAL4ppk.1.9 driver

A rare human centenarian variant of SIRT6 enhances genome stability and interaction with Lamin A

Project description:Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a deacylase and mono-ADP ribosyl transferase (mADPr) enzyme involved in multiple cellular pathways implicated in the regulation of aging and metabolism. Targeted sequencing identified a SIRT6 allele containing two linked substitutions (N308K/A313S) as enriched in Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) centenarians as compared to AJ control individuals. Characterization of this SIRT6 (centSIRT6) allele demonstrated it to be a stronger suppressor of LINE1 retrotransposons, confer enhanced stimulation of DNA double strand break repair, and more robust cancer cell killing compared to the wild type. Surprisingly, centSIRT6 displayed weaker deacetylase activity, but stronger mADPr activity, over a range of NAD+ concentrations and substrates. Additionally, centSIRT6 displayed a stronger interaction with Lamin A/C (LMNA), which correlated with enhanced ribosylation of LMNA. Our results suggest that enhanced SIRT6 function contributes to human longevity by improving genome maintenance via increased mADPr activity and enhanced interaction with LMNA.

Next-generation sequencing identifies mRNAs targets that experience significant changes in alternative splicing upon PQBP1 knockdown in mouse embryonic cortical neurons

Project description:PQBP1 is a highly conserved protein closely related to neurodegenerative disorders. We identified PQBP1 as an important alternative splicing effector necessary for maintaining normal neuron functions in the brain. In order to explore PQBP1's functions in alternative splicing regulation and neuronal activities, we systematically profiled the alternative splicing targets of PQBP1 in mouse embryonic cortical neurons by RNA-seq. The mRNAs whose alternative splicing are affected by PQBP1 showed tissue-specific functional enrichment especially in neurite outgrowth, with strong Gene Ontology (GO) enrichments for neuron projection development/morphogenesis, dendrite development and axonogenesis. PQBP1's alternative splicing targets are also functionally enriched in RNA splicing, chromatin modification, and ARF signal transduction. We applied RNA-seq to compare the transcriptomes of mock and PQBP1 knockdown mouse embryonic cortical neuron samples.
