RNAseq of ATDC5 cells with mechanotransductive perturbations

ABSTRACT: Chondrocyte phenotype is preserved when cells are round and the actin cytoskeleton is cortical. Conversely, these cells rapidly dedifferentiate in vitro with increased mechanoactive Rho signaling, which increases cell size and causes large actin stress fiber to form. While the effects of Rho on chondrocyte phenotype are well established, the molecular mechanism is not yet fully elucidated. Yap, a transcriptional co-regulator, is regulated by Rho in a mechanotransductive manner and can suppress chondrogenesis in vivo. Here, we sought to elucidate the relationship between mechanoactive Rho and Yap on chondrogenic gene expression. We first show that decreasing mechanoactive state through Rho inhibition results in a broad increase in chondrogenic gene expression. Next, we show that Yap and its co-regulator Taz, are negative regulators of chondrogenic gene expression, and removal of these factors promotes chondrogenesis even in environments that promote cell spreading. Finally, we establish that Yap/Taz is essential for translating Rho-mediated signals to negatively regulate chondrogenic gene expression, and that its removal negates the effects of increased Rho signaling. Together, these data indicate that Rho is a mechanoregulator of chondrogenic differentiation, and that its impact on chondrogenic expression is exerted principally through mechanically-induced translocation and activity of Yap and Taz.

Pioneering function of Yap and Taz in promoting osteogenesis of neural crest cells by preventing chondrogenesis

Project description:Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent stem cells with a remarkable ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages, including osteoblasts and chondrocytes. NCCs contribute to the majority of craniofacial skeleton, yet the molecular mechanisms regulating NCCs diversification into osteoblasts or chondrocytes remain poorly understood. We found that Yap and Taz function redundantly as key determinants of the osteogenesis versus chondrogenesis fate decision and differentiation in NCCs in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo, and Yap/Taz-deficiency in NCCs resulted in a switch from osteogenesis to chondrogenesis. Comprehensive analysis of unbiased datasets including CUT&RUN-seq and RNA-seq indicated that Yap/Taz directly regulate key genes that govern osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. During NCC-derived osteogenesis, Yap/Taz promote expression of osteogenic genes such as Runx2 and Sp7 but repress expression of chondrogenic genes such as Sox9 and Col2a1. Further, we found Yap/Taz directly interact with β-catenin in NCCs to coordinately promote osteoblast differentiation and repress chondrogenesis. Together our data indicate that Yap/Taz promote osteogenesis in NCCs by preventing chondrogenesis, partly through interactions with the Wnt-β-catenin pathway.

Trascriptional profile of BRAF inhibitor-resistant SKMEL28 and WM3248 melanoma cells and changes upon YAP/TAZ siRNA knockdown

Project description:The activation of transcriptional coactivators YAP and its paralog TAZ has been shown to promote resistance to anti-cancer therapies. YAP/TAZ activity is tightly coupled to actin cytoskeleton architecture. However, the influence of actin remodeling on cancer drug resistance remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a pivotal role of actin remodeling in YAP/TAZ-dependent BRAF inhibitor resistance in BRAF V600E mutant melanoma cells. Melanoma cells resistant to BRAF inhibitor PLX4032 exhibit an increase in actin stress fiber formation, which appears to promote the nuclear accumulation of YAP/TAZ. Knockdown of YAP/TAZ overcomes PLX4032 resistance, whereas overexpression of constitutively active YAP induces resistance. Moreover, inhibition of actin polymerization and cytoskeletal tension in melanoma cells suppresses both YAP/TAZ activation and PLX4032 resistance. Our siRNA library screening identifies actin dynamics regulator TESK1 as a novel vulnerable point of the YAP/TAZ-dependent resistance pathway. These results suggest that inhibition of actin remodeling is a promising synthetic lethal strategy to suppress resistance in BRAF inhibitor therapies.

Increased expression of yes-associated protein/YAP and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif/TAZ activates intestinal fibroblasts to promote intestinal obstruction in Crohn’s disease

Project description:The results of this study indicate that the expression of YAP/TAZ was significantly upregulated in stenotic fibroblasts, which was associated with the YAP/TAZ target gene signature. YAP/TAZ knockdown suppressed the activation of intestinal fibroblasts. In intestinal fibroblasts, YAP/TAZ were activated by the Rho-ROCK1 signalling pathway. High YAP/TAZ expression was positively correlated with ROCK1 expression, which is a prognostic marker for intestinal obstruction in CD patients.

De-differentiation by Adenovirus E1A Due to Inactivation of Hippo Pathway Effectors YAP and TAZ [RNA-seq]

Project description:Adenovirus-transformed cells have a de-differentiated phenotype. Eliminating E1A in transformed human embryonic kidney cells de-repressed ~2600 genes, generating a gene expression profile closely resembling mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). This was associated with a dramatic change in cell morphology from one with scant cytoplasm and a globular nucleus to one with increased cytoplasm, extensive actin stress fibers and actomyosin-dependent flattening against the substratum. E1A-induced histone hypoacetylation by p300/CBP at H3K27/18 was reversed. Most of the increase in H3K27/18ac was near TEAD transcription factors associated with their co-activators YAP and TAZ regulated by the Hippo pathway. E1A causes YAP/TAZ cytoplasmic sequestration. After eliminating E1A, YAP/TAZ were transported into nuclei where they associated with poised enhancers with DNA-bound TEAD4 and H3K4me1. This activation of YAP/TAZ required RHO-family GTPase signaling and caused histone acetylation by p300/CBP, chromatin remodeling, and cohesin loading to establish MSC-associated enhancers and then super-enhancers. Consistent results were also observed in rat embryo kidney cells, human fibroblasts and human respiratory tract epithelial cells. These results together with earlier studies suggest that YAP/TAZ function in a developmental check-point controlled by signaling from the actin cytoskeleton that prevents differentiation of a progenitor cell until it is in the correct cellular and tissue environment.

Shear stress activates YAP to promote motility in human prostate cancer cells

Project description:Biophysical features of the microenvironment such as stiffness of extracellular matrix (ECM), nanotopography, and biomechanical force are critical regulators of cellular potential and behavior, yet the effects of extrinsic mechanical cues on tumor cells remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that frictional force, or wall shear stress (WSS), caused by fluid flow supports invasive behavior in cancer cells through activation of negative effectors of the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway, YAP and TAZ. In biomimetic models of lymphatic vasculature, WSS stimulated motility. These effects were accompanied by YAP dephosphorylation at ser-127, YAP and TAZ nuclear localization, and transactivation of YAP/TAZ downstream targets, including CTGF, AMOTL2, and ANKRD1. YAP, but not TAZ, was strictly required for WSS-enhanced motility, as knockdown of YAP or blockade of YAP-TEAD interactions by a small molecule inhibitor, verteporfin, reduced cellular velocity to levels observed in static controls. YAP-mediated effects on motility were dependent upon Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) and LIM-domain kinase (LIMK), as pharmacological inhibition of their activity led to activation of the actin-severing protein cofilin and blocked YAP dephosphorylation by WSS, thereby impairing migration. These data provide a signaling mechanism whereby biomechanical forces may influence cancer cell metastasis and implicate YAP as a core component of mechanosensitive machinery that modulates cancer progression.

A MYC-driven change in mitochondrial dynamics limits stem cell properties of mammary epithelial cells (ChIP-seq)

Project description:In several developmental lineages, an increase in expression of the MYC proto-oncogene drives the transition from quiescent stem cells to transit amplifying cells. The mechanism by which MYC restricts self-renewal of adult stem cells is unknown. Here, we show that MYC activates a stereotypic transcriptional program of genes involved in protein translation and mitochondrial biogenesis in mammary epithelial cells and indirectly inhibits the YAP/TAZ co-activators that are essential for mammary stem cell self-renewal. We identify a phospholipase of the mitochondrial outer membrane, PLD6, as the mediator of MYC activity. PLD6 mediates a change in the mitochondrial fusion/fission balance that promotes nuclear export of YAP/TAZ in a LATS- and RHO-independent manner. Mouse models and human pathological data confirm that MYC suppresses YAP/TAZ activity in mammary tumors. PLD6 is also required for glutaminolysis, arguing that MYC-dependent changes in mitochondrial dynamics balance cellular energy metabolism with the self-renewal potential of adult stem cells. ChIP-Seq experiments for MYC-HA (HA-IP) performed in IMEC primary breast epithelial cells. Input-samples were sequenced as controlls.

YAP/TAZ as new regulatory hub of VEGF signaling [RNA]

Project description:VEGF is a major driver of blood vessel formation. However, the signal transduction pathways culminating into the biological consequences of VEGF signaling are partially understood. Here we show that the Hippo pathway effectors YAP and TAZ, work as a regulatory hub in mediating VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling during angiogenesis. We demonstrate that YAP/TAZ are essential for vascular development as endothelium specific deletion of YAP/TAZ leads to impaired vascularization and embryonic lethality. Mechanistically, we show that VEGF activates YAP/TAZ via its effects on actin cytoskeleton remodeling, and that activated YAP/TAZ induce a transcriptional program that results in the expression of a set of genes to further control cytoskeleton dynamics, and thus ensure a proper angiogenic response. YAP/TAZ deletion also results in VEGFR2 trafficking defects from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Together, our study establishes YAP/TAZ as a central regulatory hub that mediates VEGF signaling, and hence, regulates angiogenesis.
