Differential regulation of cranial and cardiac neural crest by Serum Response Factor

ABSTRACT: The goal of this experiment was to identify genes regulated by Serum Response Factor (SRF) in the neural crest in the craniofacial region, including whether there were different targets in different craniofacial prominences. SRF is an essential transcription factor that influences many cellular processes including cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. SRF directly regulates and is required for immediate early gene (IEG) and actin cytoskeleton-related gene expression. SRF coordinates these competing transcription programs through discrete sets of cofactors, the Ternary Complex Factors (TCFs) and Myocardin Related Transcription Factors (MRTFs). The relative contribution of these two programs to in vivo SRF activity and mutant phenotypes is not fully understood. To study how SRF utilizes its cofactors during development, we generated a knock-in SrfaI allele in mice harboring point mutations that disrupt SRF-MRTF-DNA complex formation but leave SRF-TCF activity unaffected. Homozygous SrfaI/aI mutants die at E10.5 with notable cardiovascular phenotypes, and neural crest conditional mutants succumb at birth to defects of the cardiac outflow tract but display none of the craniofacial phenotypes associated with complete loss of SRF in that lineage.

Definition of the fibroblast SRF-mediated immediate-early transcriptional response

Project description:To control transcription, SRF recruits signal-regulated co-activators, the Ternary Complex Factors (TCFs) and the Myocardin-related Transcription Factors (MRTFs), which compete for a common site on its DNA-binding domain. The TCFs - SAP-1, Elk-1 and Net - are Ets proteins that link SRF activity to Ras-ERK signalling. In contrast, the two MRTFs, MRTF-A and MRTF-B, link SRF activity to Rho-actin signalling. In this novel signalling pathway, the actin-binding MRTF RPEL domain acts as a G-actin sensor, controlling MRTF nuclear accumulation in response to signal-induced depletion of the G-actin pool. Previous studies have suggested that the Ras-ERK signalling and Rho-actin pathways control specific subsets of SRF target genes. We used ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to analyse the immediate-early transcriptional response in NIH3T3 fibroblasts, using pathway-specific inhibitors to identify the contributions of Ras-ERK and Rho-actin signalling Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) in NIH3T3 fibroblast after serum stimulation in presence or absence of LatrunculinB or U0126 drugs and using antibodies against SRF, MRTF-A, MRTF-B, SAP1, ELK1, NET, Pol II, PolII S5P, PolII S2P and total H3. Validation by ChIP-PCR. Strand specific total-RNA-seq following DSN normalisation and validation by qRT-PCR from NIH3T3 stimulated by serum or Cytochalasin D in presence or absence of LatrunculinB and/or U0126 drugs.

PDGF and FGF treatment in E13.5 MEPMs

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinase signaling is critical for mammalian craniofacial development, but the key downstream transcriptional effectors remain unknown. We demonstrate that SRF is induced by both PDGF and FGF signaling in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchyme cells, and Srf neural crest conditional mutants exhibit facial clefting accompanied by proliferation and migration defects. Srf and Pdgfra mutants interact genetically in craniofacial development, but Srf and Fgfr1 mutants do not. This signal specificity is recapitulated at the level of cofactor activation: while both PDGF and FGF target gene promoters show enriched genome-wide overlap with SRF ChIP-seq peaks, PDGF selectively activates a network of MRTF-dependent cytoskeletal genes. Collectively, our results identify a novel role for SRF in proliferation and migration during craniofacial development and delineate a mechanism of receptor tyrosine kinase specificity mediated through differential cofactor usage, leading to a unique PDGF-responsive SRF-driven transcriptional program in the midface.

Expression data from serum-stimulated NIH 3T3 cells stably expressing control (pLKO.1) vector or shRNAs targeting Net or Sap-1

Project description:Although much is known about focal adhesion signaling induced by cell adhesion, how adhesion directs changes in transcription to control cell behavior is far less understood. Here we describe a novel mechanism by which changes in adhesion switch the activities of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38, resulting in the differential activation and promoter occupancy of the SRF cofactors, the ternary complex factors (TCFs) Sap-1 and Net. Adhesion-induced MAPK/TCF switching controls immediate early gene expression and proliferation. This mechanism is of physiological relevance, as proliferative regulation by the TCFs is conserved in an ex ovo model of angiogenesis. Furthermore, microarray analysis identified novel genes and adhesive functions regulated by Sap-1 and Net. Thus our data identify the TCFs as key regulators of adhesion-induced transcription and cell behavior.

Project description:Myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) play a central role in the regulation of actin expression and cytoskeletal dynamics. Stimuli that promote actin polymerization allow for shuttling of MRTFs to the nucleus where they activate serum response factor (SRF), a regulator of actin and other cytoskeletal protein genes. SRF is an essential regulator of skeletal muscle differentiation and numerous components of the muscle sarcomere, but the potential involvement of MRTFs in skeletal muscle development has not been examined. We explored the role of MRTFs in muscle development in vivo by generating mutant mice harboring a skeletal muscle-specific deletion of MRTF-B and a global deletion of MRTF-A. These double knockout (dKO) mice were able to form sarcomeres during embryogenesis. However, the sarcomeres were abnormally small and disorganized, causing skeletal muscle hypoplasia and perinatal lethality. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated dramatic dysregulation of actin genes in MRTF dKO mice, highlighting the importance of MRTFs in actin cycling and myofibrillogenesis. MRTFs were also necessary for the survival of skeletal myoblasts and for the efficient formation of intact myotubes. Our findings reveal a central role for MRTFs in sarcomere formation during skeletal muscle development and point to the potential involvement of these transcriptional coactivators in skeletal myopathies. Gene expression profile was generated comparing wild type (WT) and HSA-Cre, MRTF-A/B double knockout mice, by deep seqencing, with three biological replicates, using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

MRTF-SRF signalling in the T cell IL2 response

Project description:The transcription factor SRF is a master regulator of growth factor inducible and cytoskeletal gene expression. Two transcription cofactor families, the TCFs & the MRTFs, are responsible for SRF's activity to direct transcriptional programme in response to extracellular signalling through the Ras-ERK and Rho-actin pathways respectively. We are investigating the role of the SRF network in the response to infection, using the Listeria monocytogenes model. We find that inactivation of the network impairs the ability of CD8 T cells to proliferate in response to listeria and to generate memory cells. Surprisingly, the defect reflects impaired MRTF-SRF signalling rather than the TCF-SRF signalling pathway usually associated with proliferation. Moreover, the defec doesn'tt lie downstream of the initial activation of the TCR, appearing instead to arise from an inability of CD8 T cells to present IL-2 to each other in paracrine fashion. Consistent with these observations, we find that while cultured CD8 MRTF-null T cells can be effectively activated by TCR crosslinking invitro, their ability to form clusters, which is IL-2-dependent, is impaired. Moreover, as expected, pilot experiments indicate that these cells exhibit deficits both in the basal levels of MRTF-SRF target gene expression, and in their ability to induce these genes in response to IL-2 stimulation:

CCG-1423-derived compounds reduce global RNA synthesis and inhibit transcriptional responses (PRO-seq)

Project description:Myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) are coactivators of serum response factor (SRF), and thereby regulate cytoskeletal gene expression in response to actin dynamics. MRTFs have also been implicated in heat shock protein (hsp) transcription in fly ovaries, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that in mammalian cells, MRTFs are dispensable for hsp gene induction. However, the widely used small molecule inhibitors of MRTF/SRF transcription pathway, derived from CCG-1423, efficiently inhibit hsp gene transcription in both fly and mammalian cells also in absence of MRTFs. Quantifying RNA synthesis and RNA polymerase distribution demonstrates that CCG-1423-derived compounds have a genome-wide effect on transcription. Indeed, tracking nascent transcription at nucleotide resolution reveals that CCG-1423-derived compounds reduce RNA polymerase II elongation, and severely dampen the transcriptional response to heat shock. The effects of CCG-1423-derived compounds therefore extend beyond the MRTF/SRF pathway into nascent transcription, opening novel opportunities for their use in transcription research.

Ectoderm and mesenchyme gene expression in the developing mouse face

Project description:This investigation provides a robust multi-dimensional compendium of gene expression data relevant to mouse facial development. It profiles the transcriptome ofectoderm and mesenchyme from the three facial prominences in a time series encompassing their growth and fusion. Analysis of the dataset identified more than 8000 differentially expressed genes comprising dramatically different ectoderm and mesenchyme programs. The mesenchyme programs included many genes identified in earlier analyses as well hundreds of genes not previously implicated in craniofacial development. The ectoderm programs included over a thousand genes that highlight epithelial structure, cell-cell interactions and signaling. The dataset includes 45 .cel files, DABG probability and RMA log2 expression values for each probeset, and statistics for 9457 probesets representing 8575 genes. 45 total samples, with 15 conditions sampling three ages (E10.5, E11.5, E12.5), three facial prominences (mandibular, maxillary and fronto-nasal) and two tissue layers (ectoderm or mesenchyme), with 3 biological replicates per condition. Differential expression was determined after median filter for variance with three-way ANOVA, Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction
