Gene expression of E2f7/8/Rb1 triple mutant liver tumors

ABSTRACT: E2F-transcription factors activate many genes involved in cell cycle progression, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Hence, E2F-dependent transcription must be tightly regulated to prevent tumorigenesis, and therefore metazoan cells possess multiple E2F regulation mechanism. The best-known is the Retinoblastoma protein (RB), which is mutated in many cancers. Atypical E2Fs (E2F7 and -8) can repress E2F-target gene expression independently of RB and are rarely mutated in cancer. Therefore, they may act as emergency brakes in RB-mutated cells to suppress tumor growth. Currently it is unknown if and how RB and atypical E2Fs functionally interact in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that mice with liver-specific combinatorial deletion of Rb and E2f7/8 have reduced life spans compared to E2f7/8 or Rb deletion alone. This was associated with increased proliferation and enhanced malignant progression of liver tumors. Hence, atypical repressor E2Fs and RB cooperatively act as tumor suppressors in hepatocytes. We propose that the complex interactions between atypical E2Fs and RB on maintenance of genetic stability underlie this context-dependency.

Genome wide maps of E2F7 binding in IMR90 cells

Project description:Oncogene-induced senescence is an anti-proliferative stress response program that acts as a fail-safe mechanism to limit oncogenic transformation and is regulated by the retinoblastoma protein (RB) and p53 tumor suppressor pathways. We identify the atypical E2F family member E2F7 as the only E2F transcription factor potently upregulated during oncogene-induced senescence, a setting where it acts in response to p53 as a direct transcriptional target. Once induced, E2F7 binds and represses a series of E2F target genes and cooperates with RB to efficiently promote cell cycle arrest and limit oncogenic transformation. Disruption of RB triggers a further increase in E2F7, which induces a second cell cycle checkpoint that prevents unconstrained cell division despite aberrant DNA replication. Mechanistically, E2F7 compensates for the loss of RB in repressing mitotic E2F target genes. Examination of E2F7 binding in either growing or senescent IMR90 cells with different hairpins.

To understand the contribution of different genes, especially E2F7 to the expression profile of senescent cells, we infected human IMR90 cells with Ras and different hairpins. The infected population was selected using first with 2 ug/ml puromycin (Sigma) for 2 days, then 100 ug/ml hygromycin B (Roche) for 3 days. RNA was isolated 7 days after the puromycin selection and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays. We tried to understand the effect of E2F7 in the transcription profile of senescent cells.

E2F7 represses a transcriptional network of oscillating cell cycle genes to control S-phase progression.

Project description:E2F transcription factors are known to be important for timely activation of G1/S and G2/M genes required for cell cycle progression, but transcriptional mechanisms for deactivation of cell cycle regulated genes are unknown. Here, we show that E2F7 is highly expressed during mid to late S-phase, occupies promoters of G1/S regulated genes and represses its transcription. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that E2F7 binds preferentially to genomic sites containing the TTCCCGCC motif, which closely resemble the E2F consensus site. We identified 89 target genes that carry E2F7 binding sites close to the transcriptional start site and that are directly repressed by short term induction of E2F7. Most of these target genes are known to be activated by E2Fs and are involved in DNA replication, metabolism and DNA repair. Importantly, induction of E2F7 during G0-G1/S resulted in S-phase arrest and DNA damage, whereas expression of E2F7 during G2/M failed to disturb cell cycle progression. These findings provide strong evidence that E2F7 controls directly the downswing of oscillating G1/S genes during S-phase progression.

Transcriptomes of E2F7/8 DKO liver tumors

Project description:E2F transcriptional activators and repressors regulate cell cycle-dependent gene expression. Using a series of E2f loss- and gain-of-function mice we show that development is relatively insensitive to alterations in individual E2F levels and composition. However, modest increases in E2F transcriptional output (E2f7Δ/Δ;E2f8Δ/Δ, E2f1KI/1KI and E2f3bKI/3bKI) resulted in spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without additional organ involvement, whereas decreases (E2f1-/- and E2f3b-/-) protected against HCC. DNA binding domain-, cell type- and temporal-specific gene ablation strategies defined a cell autonomous oncogenic role for E2F1/3B and a tumor suppressor role for E2F8 in hepatocytes during early post-natal liver development. Chromatin binding and expression profiling revealed a mechanism involving activation by E2F1/3B and repression by E2F7/8 to antagonistically regulate a common set of target genes associated with HCC progression. Thus, while development is sufficiently robust to withstand changes in E2F composition and activity, the liver is uniquely sensitive to perturbations in E2Fs. In summary, precise E2F transcriptional output in hepatocytes during early adolescence is critical to foster a cancer-free life span.
