Project description:The polarization and activation of macrophages are controlled synergistically by transcription factors such as NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factor members. Surprisingly, little is known about the role of the Fra proteins, both members of the AP-1 transcription factor family, in macrophage activity. To determine the full profile of Fra network, microarray RNA expression analysis using Agilent Technologies platform was performed in wild-type, Fra-1ΔMxCre or Fra-2ΔLysMCre macrophages.

Project description:The polarization and activation of macrophages are controlled synergistically by transcription factors such as NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factor members. Surprisingly, little is known about the role of the AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun in macrophage activity. To determine the full profile of c-Jun network, microarray RNA expression analysis using Agilent Technologies platform was performed in wild-type and c-JunΔLysM macrophages.

Project description:Fra-1 (FOSL1) is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Fra-1 is a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor complex, which plays crucial roles in tumor progression and treatment resistance. We have previously identified 118 proteins that interact with endogenous chromatin-bound Fra-1 in TNBC cells in a large screen, and these included PARP1(Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1). PARP1 inhibitor olaparib is currently in clinical use for treatment of BRCA-mutated TNBC breast cancer. Here, we demonstrate that this interaction impacts the efficacy of olaparib treatment. We corroborate that PARP1 interacts with Fra-1, and we show that PARP1 downregulates Fra-1 and consequently reduces AP-1 transcriptional activity. Inhibition of PARP1, on the other hand, increases Fra-1 levels and enhances its transcriptional activity, which in turn can increase treatment resistance. However, by inhibiting Fra-1, we found that TNBC cells became sensitized to olaparib treatment. We compared Fra-1 chromatin binding sites with the Fra-1 and PARP1 regulated transcriptomes, and found that a large fraction of PARP1-regulated genes was dependent on Fra-1. We further show that PARP1 protein levels significantly correlate with Fra-1 in clinical breast cancer tumors, and we identify that high PARP1 expression is indicative of a poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients overall, but not in basal-like tumors. In conclusion, by exploring the functionality of the Fra-1 and PARP1 interaction, we propose that targeting Fra-1 could serve as a therapeutic approach to improve olaparib treatment outcome for TNBC patients.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive clinical phenotype, and accounts for 15% to 20% of all breast cancers. The molecular determinants of malignant cell behaviors in TNBC remain largely unknown. We find that the AP-1 transcription factor component, Fra-1, is overexpressed in basal-like breast tumors, and its expression level has high prognostic significance. Depletion of Fra-1 or its heterodimeric partner c-Jun inhibits the proliferative and invasive phenotypes in TNBC cells. To gain insights into the transcriptional regulatory networks of AP-1 in TNBC cells, we combine genome-wide ChIP-seq with loss-of-function transcriptome analyses. We observe dysregulation of direct targets of the Fra-1/c-Jun heterodimer involved in cell proliferation, cell adhesion, and cell-cell contact. Intriguingly, we find that AP-1 mediates downregulation of E-cadherin through direct transcriptional induction of ZEB2. This work sheds light on the mechanisms and pathways by which TNBC acquires invasiveness and proliferative propensity. BT549 cells grown in complete medium were transfected with a control siRNA, siRNA targeting Fra-1 or siRNA targeting c-Jun for 72 h, and then global gene expression profiles were assessed. Three or four biological replicates were used for each group.

Project description:Fra-2 belongs to the activated protein-1 (AP-1) family and is involved in the mechanisms of resistance to platinum in ovarian cancer and to anti-EGFR therapy in NSCLC. We used microarrays to identify genes potentially regulated by Fra-2 transciptional activity.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. HCC incidence is on the rise, while treatment options remain limited. Thus, a better understanding of the molecular pathways involved in HCC development has become a priority to guide future therapies. While previous studies implicated the AP-1 (Fos/Jun) transcription factor family members c-Fos and c-Jun in HCC formation, the contribution of Fos-related antigens 1 and 2 (Fra-1/2) is unknown. Here we show that hepatocyte-restricted expression of a single chain c-Jun~Fra-2 protein, which functionally mimics the c-Jun/Fra-2 AP-1 dimer, results in spontaneous HCC formation in c-Jun~Fra-2hep mice. Several hallmarks of human HCC, such as cell cycle dysregulation and the expression of HCC markers are observed in liver tumors arising in c-Jun~Fra-2hep mice. Tumorigenesis occurs in the context of mild inflammation, low-grade fibrosis and Pparg-driven dyslipidemia. Subsequent analyses revealed increased expression of c-Myc, evidently directly regulated by AP-1 through a conserved distal 3’ enhancer. Importantly, c-Jun~Fra-2-induced tumors revert upon switching off transgene expression, suggesting oncogene addiction to the c-Jun~Fra-2 transgene. Tumors escaping reversion maintained c-Myc and c-Myc target gene expression, likely due to increased c-Fos. Interfering with c-Myc in established tumors using the BET bromodomain inhibitor JQ-1 diminished liver tumor growth in c-Jun~Fra-2 mutant mice. Thus, our data establish c-Jun~Fra-2hep mice as a novel model to study liver tumorigenesis and identify the c-Jun/Fra-2-Myc interaction as a potential target to improve HCC patient stratification and/or therapy.

Project description:Fra-1, a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and plays crucial roles in tumor progression. However, a systematic analysis of the composition of the Fra-1 protein network specifically on chromatin is still missing. Here we performed endogenous purification of Fra-1 transcriptional complex under ChIP conditions, followed by mass spectrometry, to identify chromatin-bound partners of Fra-1 in TNBC cells. This study allowed the identification of 118 interactors, highlighting DDX5 as the high ranking of Fra-1 interacting proteins. DDX5, a previously unrecognized protein in the network, is recruited globally to Fra-1 binding sites and shares a substantial set of Fra-1 target genes required for the TNBC cell growth. We provide evidence that DDX5 expression enhances Fra-1 transcriptional activity, thereby enhancing Fra-1-driven tumorigenesis. By integrating ChIP-seq and RNA-seq, we show that DDX5 target gene signature predicts poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients. DDX5 protein level was higher in triple-negative basal like tumors than in non-basal like tumors, including luminal A, luminal B and HER2-enriched subtypes. Collectively, this comprehensive Fra-1 interaction profiling provides a broad and deep view of Fra-1 chromatin interaction landscape, which will help in deciphering mechanisms of AP-1 regulation of gene expression.
