Epigenomic profiling of the innate immune response in bovine MDBK cells

ABSTRACT: Cattle are an important livestock species, and understanding the genomic architecture of agriculturally relevant traits such as disease susceptibility is of major interest in the bovine research community. Lineage-specific transposable elements (TEs) are a source of interferon-gamma (IFNG)-inducible regulatory elements that control human immune genes, but this possibility has been largely unexplored in other species that harbor distinct transposon landscapes, including cattle. We conducted transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling of the IFNG response in bovine cells, and found that ruminant-specific TEs are a major source of IFNG-inducible enhancer elements that shape bovine innate immune responses. CRISPR knockout experiments established that key immune genes including bovine IFNAR2 and IL2RB are regulated by TEs in MDBKs. Together with previous work in human cells, our findings demonstrate that lineage-specific TEs have been independently co-opted to regulate IFNG-inducible gene expression in at least two mammalian lineages. Therefore, TE co-option may mediate parallel evolutionary rewiring of mammalian immune regulation.

Transcriptomic characterization of cattle primary hepatocytes and its comparison with Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells and liver tissue

Project description:Cattle primary cultured hepatocytes (CHs) have been used as a useful in vitro model for drug metabolism studies. However, they suffer some limitations, when compared with the ex vivo liver tissue, such as difficult adhesion to the substrate following isolation, a limited viability and a rapid loss of differentiated characteristics. Therefore, a reliable hepatic in vitro model is actually needed for cattle. As established bovine hepatic cell lines are not available, we characterized the cattle primary CHs' transcriptome by using a cDNA microarray approach and compared it with ex vivo cattle liver tissue as well as with the Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cells (as an established cell line for transfection purposes).<br>This part of the study compares the primary CHs vs. liver tissue. The comparison of MDBK cells vs. the primary CHs is found under E-MTAB-4430.

Transcriptomic characterization of the Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells and its comparison with cattle primary cultured hepatocytes

Project description:A reliable hepatic in vitro model is actually needed for pharmacological and toxicological studies in cattle. As established bovine hepatic cell lines are not available, a surrogate stably-transfected cell line could be a good alternative. This data set represent the transcriptomic characterization of the MDBK cells (stably-transfected cell line) in comparison to the present in vitro model of choice; cattle primary cultured hepatocytes. <br>This second part of the study compares hepatocytes vs. liver tissue and is found under E-MTAB-4424.

Profiling of proteins secreted in the bovine oviduct reveals diverse functions of this luminal microenvironment

Project description:The oviductal microenvironment is a site for key events that involve gamete maturation, fertilization and early embryo development. Secretions into the oviductal lumen by either the lining epithelium or by transudation of plasma constituents are known to contain elements conducive for reproductive success. Although previous studies have identified some of these factors involved in reproduction, knowledge of secreted proteins in the oviductal fluid remains rudimentary with limited definition of function even in extensively studied species like cattle. In this study, we used a shotgun proteomics approach followed by bioinformatics sequence prediction to identify secreted proteins present in the bovine oviductal fluid (in vivo) and secretions from the bovine oviductal epithelial cells (in vitro). From a total of 2087 proteins identified, 266 proteins could be classified as secreted, 109 (41%) of which were common for both in vivo and in vitro conditions. Pathway analysis indicated different classes of proteins that included growth factors, metabolic regulators, immune modulators, enzymes, and extracellular matrix components. Functional analysis revealed mechanisms in the oviductal lumen linked to immune homeostasis, gamete maturation, fertilization and early embryo development. These results point to several novel components that work together with known elements mediating functional homeostasis, and highlight the diversity of machinery associated with oviductal physiology and early events in cattle fertility.

H4K16ac activates retrotransposons and contributes to their cis regulatory function [RNA-seq]

Project description:Mammalian genomes harbour a large number of transposable elements (TEs) and their remnants. Most TEs are incapable of retrotransposition, however, they have evolved as cis-regulatory elements (CREs), enabling them to recruit host-encoded factors. Understanding the contribution of TEs in the regulation of the mammalian genome is an active area of research. Here we show that the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex-mediated acetylation of histone H4 lysine 16 (H4K16ac) regulates the transcription of TEs. Furthermore, H4K16ac marked TEs function as a rich source of cis regulatory elements in the human genome, wherein H4K16ac acts by maintaining the permissive chromatin structure and promoting the transcription of these TEs.

ULK1 as a novel therapeutic target to enhance immune checkpoint therapies against melanoma

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment of melanoma. However, the majority of patients have primary or acquired resistance to ICIs, limiting durable responses and patient survival. Interferon-gamma (IFNg) signaling and the expression of IFNg-stimulated genes correlate with either response or resistance to ICIs, in a context-dependent manner. While IFNg-inducible immunostimulatory genes are required for response to ICIs, chronic IFNg signaling induces the expression of immunosuppressive genes, promoting resistance to these therapies. Here, we show that high levels of ULK1 correlate with poor survival in melanoma patients and overexpression of ULK1 in melanoma cells enhances IFNg-induced expression of immunosuppressive genes, with minimal effects on the expression of immunostimulatory genes. In contrast, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 reduces expression of IFNg-induced immunosuppressive genes. ULK1 binds IRF1 in the nuclear compartment of melanoma cells, controlling its binding to the PD-L1 promoter region. Additionally, pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy further reduces melanoma tumor growth and enhances anti-tumor immune responses in vivo. Our data suggest that targeting ULK1 represses IFNg-dependent immunosuppression. These findings support the combination of ULK1 drug-targeted inhibition with ICIs for the treatment of melanoma patients to improve response rates and patient outcomes.
