Project description:Purpose: To compare the binding profiles of mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors after corticosterone treatment in neuroblastoma cells. Methods: Tagged glucocorticoid receptors (eGFP-rat GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (mCherry-rat MR) were transiently transfected into Neuro2A mouse neuroblastoma cells and treated with (i) vehicle, (ii) corticosterone 100 nM for 20 mins and (iii) corticosterone 100 nM for 20 mins followed by media repacement twice and 40 mins further incubation in charcoal-stripped serum media. ChIP-nexus samples were prepared in triplicate for deep sequencing using Illumina NextSeq, as well as control samples taken from cell lysates before immunoprecipitation. Sequence data was analyzed and processed for the identification of enriched binding sites, using MACS2, and for the characteristic staggered ChIP-nexus borders, using the MACE pipeline (Wang et al., 2014). Results: Corticosterone-sensitive glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding sites and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) binding sites showed considerable overlap, by MACS2 analysis. GR and MR binding sites were highly similar showing recruitment to the same DNA sites, by MACE analysis (Wang et al., 2014). Further analyses showed GR could tether MR to the DNA by GR in a functional manner such that gene expression could be altered by the presence of tethered MR. Conclusions: MR can be recruited to DNA-binding sites by GR, even in the absence of MR DNA-binding. MR can interact in multiple modes at genomic DNA binding sites.

Project description:Long-term glucocorticoid treatment in multiple myeloma is hampered by deleterious side effects. Glucocorticoids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which is a crucial drug target because its activation triggers myeloma cell death. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a closely related nuclear receptor but its impact on glucocorticoid responsiveness in myeloma is unknown. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and MR that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone enhances Dex-induced cell killing in (primary) myeloma cells. The crosstalk is further evidenced by an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells that is ligand-inducible and by a distinctive gene expression profile. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma and presents a glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction strategy that could diminish glucocorticoid-related side effects in patients.

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a crucial drug target in multiple myeloma as its activation with glucocorticoids effectively triggers myeloma cell death. However, as high-dose glucocorticoids are also associated with deleterious side effects, novel approaches are urgently needed to improve GR’s action in myeloma. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone (Spi) enhances Dex-induced cell killing in primary, newly diagnosed GC-sensitive myeloma cells, while in a relapsed GC-resistant setting, Spi alone induces distinct myeloma cell killing. On a mechanistic level, we find that a GR-MR crosstalk is arising from an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells. Quantitative dimerization assays show that Spi reduces Dex-induced GR-MR heterodimerization and completely abolishes Dex-induced MR MR homodimerization but leaves GR-GR homodimerization intact. Unbiased transcriptomics further reveals that c-myc and many of its target genes are downregulated most by Dex and Spi combined, while proteomics analyses identify that several metabolic hallmarks are modulated most by this combination treatment. Finally, we identified a subset of Dex+Spi downregulated genes and proteins that may predict prognosis in the CoMMpass patient cohort. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma as it provides novel strategies towards glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction.

Project description:Inappropriate excess of the steroid hormone aldosterone, which is a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) agonist, is associated with increased inflammation and risk of cardiovascular disease. MR antagonists are cardioprotective and antiinflammatory in vivo, and evidence suggests that they mediate these effects in part by aldosterone- independent mechanisms. We used affymetrix to characterize the effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor deletion on macrophage transcriptional profile, and identify its requirement in normal glucocorticoid signalling.

We isolated mouse peritoneal macrophages from Myeloid MRKO mice and Floxed Controls, cultured in the presence or absence of corticosterone. RNA was extracted for Affymetrix cDNA hybridization. Each sample was pooled from experiments performed in triplicate.

Project description:Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, and stress is increasingly associated with adverse cardiac outcomes. Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones that regulate homeostasis through two closely related nuclear receptors, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Cardiomyocytes express both receptors but little is known concerning their coordinated actions in heart physiology and pathology. To examine the in vivo function of glucocorticoid signaling in the heart, we generated mice with cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of GR (cardioGRKO), MR (cardioMRKO), or both GR and MR (cardioGRMRdKO). The cardioMRKO mice exhibited normal heart function whereas the cardioGRKO mice spontaneously developed cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Surprisingly, the cardioGRMRdKO mice were protected from cardiac disease. Genome-wide microarrays were performed on isolated hearts from each mouse model to 1) identify genes subject to regulation by GR alone, MR alone, or both GR and MR and 2) identify the genes responsible for the cardiac pathology in the cardioGRKO mice and for the cardioprotection in the cardioGRMRdKO mice.

Project description:Many stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders display pronounced sex differences in their frequency and clinical symptoms. Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones that have been implicated in the development of these disorders but whether they contribute to the observed sex bias is poorly understood. Glucocorticoids signal through two closely related nuclear receptors, the glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), that are both expressed at high levels in the hippocampus. To investigate the sex-dependent and independent actions of glucocorticoids in the hippocampus, we developed knockout mice lacking hippocampal GR (GREmx1-cre), MR (MREmx1-cre), or both GR and MR (GRMREmx1-cre). Genome-wide microarrays were performed on RNA isolated from the hippocampus of male and female flox control and knockout mice in order to 1) identify genes dysregulated in a sex-dependent and independent manner by a deficiency in GR, MR, or both GR and MR signaling and 2) identify the genes responsible for the sex-dependent and independent phenotypes observed in these mice.
