Project description:During heat stress cyto-protective genes including heat shock proteins are transcriptionally up-regulated and post-transcriptional splicing is inhibited. In contrast, co-transcriptional mRNA-splicing is maintained. These factors closely resemble the proteotoxic stress response during tumor development. The bromodomain protein BRD4 has been identified as an integral member of the oxidative stress as well as of the inflammatory response. Furthermore, there is evidence for BRD4's role in splicing regulation; Using RNA-Seq analyses we indeed found a significant increase in splicing inhibition, in particular intron retentions, during heat treatment in BRD4-deficient cells, but not under normal conditions. Subsequent experiments revealed that heat stress leads to the recruitment of BRD4 to nuclear stress bodies, to the interaction with the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and to the transcriptional up-regulation of non-coding Sat III RNA transcripts. These findings implicate BRD4 as a central regulator of splicing during heat stress. Since BRD4 is a potent target for anti-cancer therapies, our data linking BRD4 to the splicing machinery and the heat stress response - give additional insight into the mode of action of BRD4 inhibitors. WI38 cells have been treated by heatshock and anti BRD4 siRNA and combination.

Project description:DNA damage activates a complex signaling network in cells that blocks cell cycle progression, recruits factors involved in DNA repair, and/or triggers programs that control senescence or programmed cell death. Alterations in chromatin structure are known to be important for the initiation and propagation of the DNA damage response, although the molecular details are unclear. We investigated the role of chromatin structure in the DNA damage response by monitoring multiple timedependent checkpoint signaling and response events with a high-content multiplex image-based RNAi screen of chromatin modifying and interacting genes. We discovered that Brd4, a double bromodomain-containing protein, functions as an endogenous inhibitor of DNA damage signaling by binding to acetylated histones at sites of open chromatin and altering chromatin accessibility. Loss of Brd4 or disruption of acetyl-lysine binding results in an increase in both the number and size of radiation-induced !H2AX nuclear foci while overexpression of a Brd4 splice isoform completely suppresses !H2AX formation, despite equivalent double strand break formation. Brd4 knock-down cells displayed altered chromatin structure, prolonged cell cycle checkpoint arrest and enhanced survival after irradiation, while overexpression of Brd4 isoform B results in enhanced radiationinduced lethality. Brd4 is the target of the t(15;19) chromosomal translocation in a rare form of cancer, NUT Midline Carcinoma. Acetyl lysine-bromodomain interactions of the Brd4-NUT fusion protein suppresses !H2AX foci in discrete nuclear compartments, rendering cells more radiosensitive, mimicking overexpression of Brd4 isoform B. NUT Midline Carcinoma is sensitive to radiotherapy, however tumor material from this rare cancer is scarce. We therefore investigated Brd4 expression in another human cancer commonly treated with radiotherapy, glioblastoma multiforme, and found that expression of Brd4 isoform B correlated specifically with treatment response to radiotherapy. These data implicate Brd4 as an endogenous insulator of DNA damage signaling through recognition of epigenetic modifications in chromatin and suggest that expression of the Brd4 in human cancer can modulate the clinical response to DNA-damaging cancer therapy.

Project description:To study the role of the bromodomain (BD) in BRD4-dependent gene expression, we compared the function of wild type BRD4 and a mutant BRD4-mBD, which carries a point mutation in each of the two BDs. We first knocked down endogenous BRD4 by shRNA (shBRD4) and then stably reconstituted the cells with shBRD4-resistant YFP-BRD4 (wild type or mBD mutant). Following BRD4 reconstitution, the degree of recovery in gene expression was analyzed by Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST array. Wild-type BRD4 restored gene expression significantly and far more efficiently than the mBD mutant.

Project description:The estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in controlling cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by recruiting various cofactors to estrogen response elements (EREs) to induce or repress gene transcription. A deeper understanding of these transcriptional mechanisms may uncover novel therapeutic targets for ERα-dependent cancers. Here we show for the first time that BRD4 regulates ERα−induced gene expression by affecting elongation-associated phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII P-Ser2) and histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1). Consistently, BRD4 activity is required for estrogen-induced proliferation of ER+ breast and endometrial cancer cells and uterine growth in mice. Genome-wide occupancy studies revealed an enrichment of BRD4 on transcriptional start sites as well as EREs enriched for H3K27ac and demonstrate a requirement for BRD4 for H2B monoubiquitination in the transcribed region of estrogen-responsive genes. Importantly, we further demonstrate that BRD4 occupancy correlates with active mRNA transcription and is required for the production of ERα-dependent enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). These results uncover BRD4 as a central regulator of ERα function and potential therapeutic target.

Project description:Ecotropic viral integration site 1 (EVI1/MECOM) overexpression is common in myeloid malignancies. We present a new Evi1 transgenic mouse model with inducible expression in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells (HPCs) at lower levels. Upon exogenous Evi1 induction, mice displayed anemia, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and dysplasia in erythroid and megakaryocyte cells with a significant expansion of committed myeloid progenitor cells, resembling human Myelodysplastic syndrome/Myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN)-like disease. Methods: Lin-C-Kit+ cells were isolated from 2 Evi1 overexpressing mice for CUT&RUN assay using flag antibody and IgG. Lin-C-Kit+ cells were isolated from 2 pair of WT mice and Evi1 overexpressing mice for CUT&RUN assay using H3K27me3 antibody.Around 5X105 Lin-C-Kit+ cells for each group were used in CUT&RUN assay. About 10 ng of the purified CUT&RUN DNA was used for preparation of multiplexed libraries with the NEB Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit per manufacturer's instruction (NEB #E7103). Sequencing was conducted using an Illumina NextSeq 500 Sequencing System. Results: Molecular pathways altered in Lin-C-Kit+ cells from Evi1-OE mice. Conclusions: Evi1 has a special binding profiling in Lin-C-Kit+ cells. The modification profile of H3K27me3 was altered in Evi1-OE hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
