Project description:The cell cycle is an intensively control process, in which cell-cycle proteins display a cyclical expression pattern regulated by specific transcription, translation and degradation. Cell cycle progression is initiated by highly expressed D-type cyclins (D1/2/3) to facilitate DNA synthesis, subsequently driven by mitotic proteins formation (e.g., centromere proteins) that is responsible for mitosis onset. Whether there exist master regulators to keep the cycle rapidly “running” with D-type cyclins induction, as well as maintain the cycle in a stable process by centromere proteins modulation is of particular interest yet remains unclear at present. Here our study clarifies human positive cofactor 4 (PC4) as a previously unrecognized RNA binding protein (RBP), as a post-transcriptional master regulator to orchestrate CCND1 and CENPF expression. We reveal that lack of PC4 reduces CCND1 stability whereas enhances excessive CENPF translation, results in cell cycle arrest and mitotic defects. Furthermore, PC4 RNA binding activity is strictly controlled by S17 phosphorylation and K68 ubiquitination in a cell cycle-dependent way. Lastly, we use in vivo model to verify that PC4 deficiency amplifies response of cancer cells to CDK4/6 inhibitor, and PC4 induction accelerates liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. These results highlight that cell-cycle gene expressions are dynamically and post-transcriptionally fine-tuned, and identify PC4 as an essential cell-cycle post-transcriptional manipulator that is profoundly applied within cancer and regeneration medicine.

Project description:To assess the mechanisms by which PC4 mediates chromatin compaction in cells and regulation of genome organization by its phosphorylation state, we measured the chromatin accessibility landscape using ATAC-seq of vector control 293 cells (Control/shNS), PC4 knockdown (KD/PC4 KD) and upon ectopic expression of Flag tagged PC4 (FP/PC4), Phosphomimic-PC4 (PM/PM-PC4) and phospho-mutant (MTP/MTP5) in PC4 knockdown cells.

Project description:Chromatin protein positive coactivator 4 (PC4) has multiple functions, including chromatin compaction. However, its role in immune cells is largely unknown. We show that PC4 orchestrates chromatin structure and gene expression in mature B cells. B-cell specific PC4-deficient mice showed impaired production of antibody upon antigen stimulation. The PC4 complex purified from B cells contained transcription factors IKAROS and IRF4. IKAROS protein was reduced in PC4-deficient mature B cells, resulting in de-repression of their target genes in part by diminished interactions with gene silencing components. Upon activation, IRF4 protein amount was not increased in PC4-deficient B cells, resulting in reduction of plasma cells. Importantly, IRF4 reciprocally induced PC4 expression via a super-enhancer. PC4 knockdown in human B-cell lymphoma cells reduced IKAROS protein as an anticancer drug lenalidomide. Our findings establish PC4 as a chromatin regulator of B cells and a possible therapeutic target adjoining IKAROS in B-cell malignancies.

Project description:B cell development is orchestrated by various transcription factors collaborating with chromatin remodelers that determine the genomic architecture. However, chromatin regulation in mature B cells is still poorly understood. Here, we show the critical function of positive coactivator 4 (PC4), a bona fide non-histone chromatin protein encoded by Sub1. B-cell specific Sub1-deficient mice showed the decreased number and response against antigen stimulation of mature B cells. By combining PC4 chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing and complex purification, we identified transcription factor IKAROS as a partner of PC4 in gene regulation. PC4 and IKAROS cooperated to promote heterochromatin formation of their target gene loci and thereby established B cell identity. Importantly, PC4 stabilized IKAROS protein in mature B cells and inhibited IKAROS degradation by the anti-cancer drug lenalidomide in human B-cell lymphoma cells. These findings establish PC4 as not only a chromatin regulator of B cells but also a new therapeutic target in B-cell malignancies.

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can spontaneously dedifferentiate into embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like cells, which are designated as multipotent SSCs (mSSCs), without ectopic expression of reprogramming factors. SSCs express key OSKM reprogramming factors at some levels, and do not require ectopic expression of any gene for the acquisition of pluripotency during reprogramming to mSSCs. Therefore, we reasoned that additional factors are required to regulate SSC reprogramming. In this study, we first compared the expression of reprogramming signature genes among somatic cells, iPSC, SSCs, mSSCs, and partially reprogramed cells, and found that they appear to have similar pluripotency states, whereas their transcriptional program differs. We developed a systems biology approach to prioritise genes for pluripotency regulatory factors by integrating transcriptome and interactome data on the genome-wide functional network. Then, we performed a series of systematic gene prioritisation steps and identified 53 candidates, which included some known reprogramming factors. We experimentally validated one particular candidate, Positive cofactor 4 (Pc4), which was expressed in PSCs and yielded a positive RNA interference (RNAi) response in an Oct4 reporter assay. We demonstrated that Pc4 enhanced the efficiency of OSKM-mediated reprogramming by promoting the transcriptional activity of key pluripotency factors, and by regulating the expression of many protein- and miRNA-encoding genes involved in reprogramming and somatic cell-specific genes. Pc4-overexpressing mESC lines were established by Venus (YFP)-expressing lentiviral transfection. The mESCs were split at a density of 2 ´ 104 cells onto fresh MEF feeder cells seeded into a 6 well dish (containing mESC growth medium) with virus particles, and 25 μg/ml polybrene (Sigma Aldrich) was added. After 24 h, the medium was replaced with fresh growth medium. After 4 days later, mESC colonies expressing YFP were picked and replated. Three different Pc4-overexpressing mESC lines were established.

Project description:In order to get an idea of involvement of PC4 in regulation of p53-dependent gene expression, we carried out global gene expression profiling upon treatment with R6-NLS-p53(380–386-3Ac). R6-NLS-p53(380–386-3Ac) is a small peptide of 20 residues derived from p53 C-terminal domain. This peptide can successfully block the cellular p53-PC4 interactions. Lung cancer line A549 which contain both wild type p53 and PC4 were used for this study. The cells were treated with 25µM R6-NLS-p53(380–386-3Ac) for two different time points (12 h and 24 h) and the gene expression profile was analyzed by microarray analysis.
