Response to1 µM dexamethasone in MEF cells expressing GR dimer deficient mutant receptors

ABSTRACT: The glucocorticoid (GC) receptor (GR) is essential in development and inflammation. Healthy GRdim/dim mice with reduced dimerization propensity due to a point mutation (A465T) at the dimer interface of the GR DNA binding domain (DBD) (here GRD/D) have helped to define GR monomer and dimer functions of GR. Since GRD/D retains residual dimerization capacity, we generated the dimer-nullifying double mutant GRD+L/D+L mice, featuring an additional mutation (I634A) in the ligand binding domain (LBD) of GR. These mice are perinatally lethal, as are GRL/L mice, displaying improper lung and skin formation. We used embryonic fibroblasts, high and low doses of dexamethasone (Dex), nuclear translocation, RNAseq, dimerization assays and ligand binding assays (and Kd values), we suggest that the lethal phenotype is due to insufficient ligand binding. The data suggest cross talk between GR dimerization potential and ligand affinity. We conclude that a mutation as subtle as this I634A, at a position not directly involved in ligand interactions senso stricto, can thus still influence ligand binding and have a lethal outcome.

Prednisolone-induced differential gene expression in liver of mice carrying the wild type or a dimerization-defective glucocorticoid receptor

Project description:Glucocorticoids control expression of a large number of genes after binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Transcription may be regulated either by binding of the GR dimer to DNA regulatory elements or by protein-protein interactions of GR monomers with other transcription factors. Although the type of regulation for a number of individual target genes is known, the relative contribution of both mechanisms to the regulation of the entire transcriptional program remains elusive. To study the importance of GR dimerization in regulation of gene expression, we performed gene expression profiling in liver of prednisolone-treated wild type (WT) and genetically engineered mice that have lost the ability to form GR-dimers (GRdim). Mice carrying a wild type (WT) glucocorticoid receptor or a dimerization-defective glucocorticoid receptor (GRdim) were treated subcutaneous with vehicle or prednisolone (1mg/kg) and sacrificed 150 minutes later. From the livers of these mice total RNA was extracted, processed and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. In total 24 mice (6 vehicle-treated WT mice, 6 prednisolone-treated WT mice, 6 vehicle-treated GRdim mice and 6 prednisolone-treated GRdim mice) were included in the study.

Genome-wide Binding Potential and Regulatory Activity of the Glucocorticoid Receptor’s Monomeric and Dimeric Forms

Project description:A widely regarded model for glucocorticoid receptor (GR) action postulates that dimeric binding to DNA regulates unfavorable metabolic pathways while monomeric receptor binding promotes repressive gene responses related to its anti-inflammatory effects. This model has been built upon the characterization of the GRdim mutant, reported to be incapable of DNA binding and dimerization. Although quantitative live-cell imaging data shows GRdim as mostly dimeric, genomic studies, on the basis of recovery of enriched half-site response elements, suggest monomeric engagement on DNA. Here, we performed genome-wide studies on GRdim and a constitutively monomeric mutant. Our results show that impairing dimerization affects binding to even open chromatin. Also, GRdim does not exclusively bind half-response elements. Our results do not support a physiological role for monomeric GR and are consistent with a common mode of receptor binding via higher order structures that drives both the activating and repressive actions of glucocorticoids.

Glucocorticoid receptor dimers control intestinal STAT1-mediated IFN- and TNF-induced inflammation in mice

Project description:Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) is an important mediator in numerous inflammatory diseases, e.g. in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In IBD, acute increases in TNF production can lead to disease flares. Glucocorticoids (GCs), which are steroids that bind and activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), are able to protect animals and humans against acute TNF-induced inflammatory symptoms. Mice with a poor transcriptional response of GR-dimer-dependent target genes were studied in a model of TNF-induced lethal inflammation. In contrast to the GRwt/wt mice, these GRdim/dim mice displayed a significant increase in TNF sensitivity and a lack of protection by the GC dexamethasone (DEX). Unchallenged GRdim/dim mice had a strong interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) signature, along with STAT1 upregulation and phosphorylation. This ISG signature was gut specific and, based on our studies with antibiotics, depended on the gut microbiota. GR dimers directly bound to short DNA sequences in the STAT1 promoter known as inverted repeat negative GRE (IR-nGRE) elements. Poor control of STAT1 in GRdim/dim mice led to failure to repress ISG genes resulting in excessive necroptosis induction by TNF. Our findings support a critical interplay between gut microbiota, interferons, necroptosis and GR in both the basal response to acute inflammatory challenges and in the pharmacological intervention by GCs.
