Loss of the C-terminus of p63 leads to an increased expression of extracellular matrix genes in keratinocytes [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor p63 is a master gene of epithelial development. p63 regulates expression of genes related to proliferation, differentiation and adhesion by binding epithelial enhancers. Biochemically, p63 interacts with chromatin via its DNA binding domain, while N-terminus is essential for the fine tuning of its transcriptional activity. However, the role of the C-terminus of p63 remains elusive. Here, we investigate the role of the C-terminal SAM domain of p63 in vivo. We generated Krt14-specific knock-out of the SAM domain (exon 13) of p63 which resulted in expression of the p63b isoform. Most of p63b expressing mice die 2-3 months after birth and show alteration of skin, adipose tissue and muscle morphology. Mechanistically, ChIP-seq analysis showed an increased binding of p63b to gene promoters. Further integration of transcriptome and genome occupancy analyses revealed that p63b binds more readily promoter regions of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes leading to their enhanced expression. Aberrant expression of ECM genes by p63b disrupts normal adhesion of keratinocytes to basal lamina triggering systemic inflammation and premature death. Altogether, our data suggest that C-terminus ensures p63 selectivity in enhancer binding to maintain physiological levels of extracellular matrix and adhesion proteins.

Loss of the C-terminus of p63 leads to an increased binding of p63 to promoters and histone acetylation [ChIP-seq]

Gene expression profiles induced by knockdown and overexpression of p63 variants in MCF-10A mammary epithelial cell line

Project description:p63 is critical for epithelial development yet little is known about the transcriptional programmes it regulates. The p63 transactivating (TA) isoforms contain an amino-terminal exon that encodes a p53-like transactivation domain, whereas ÎN-isoforms lack this domain but contain the common DNA binding domain (DBD), suggesting that TAp63 and ÎNp63 isoforms may have opposing functions. By characterising transcriptional changes and cellular effects following modulation of p63 expression, we have defined a vital role for p63 in cellular adhesion. Knockdown of p63 expression caused downregulation of cell adhesion-associated genes, cell detachment and anoikis in mammary epithelial cells and keratinocytes. Conversely, overexpression of the TAp63Î³ or ÎNp63Î± isoforms of p63 upregulated cell adhesion molecules, increased cellular adhesion and conferred resistance to anoikis. Total RNA was isolated 48 h after retroviral or adenoviral infection and was subjected to reverse transcription, labelling and hybridization. The knockdown samples were performed in duplicate with shRNA vector control, shRNA targetting all isoforms of p63 (shDBD) and shRNA targetting p63 isoforms containing the transactivating (TA) domains. The overexpression samples were performed in triplicate with vector control, overexpression of the ÎNp63Î± isoform, and overexpression of the TAp63Î³ isoforms.

Gene expression analysis of human adipose-derived stem cells.

Project description:Transcriptional activity was identified in all categories of genes expressed by ADSC, including collagens, ECM and basement membrane constituents, adhesion molecules involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, and proteases involved in degradation of the ECM and their inhibitors. Importantly, it was observed that ADSC synthesize and secrete all three collagen VI chains, suggesting suitability of ADSC for collagen VI congenital muscular dytrophy treatment. We developed a procedure for isolation of human stem cells from adipose layer of neonatal foreskin skin. The adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) were examined for expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) and related genes using gene expression array analysis.

Ruscone2023 - Logical model of Tumor Cell Invasion

Project description:This model builds upon two published models focused on the early steps of metastasis by Cohen et al. and on EMT process by Selvaggio et. al. The initial model of Cohen and colleagues was built with two inputs: the ECMenv, which monitored the status of the extracellular matrix, and DNA_damage, which considered DNA alterations that trigger death signals. Four additional inputs were added to account for the presence of Oxygen, growth factors (as GF), TGFbeta and the contact with other neighboring cells (as Neigh). The phenotypes, or outputs of the model include CellCycleArrest, Apoptosis, EMT, ECM_adh (for cell adhesion), ECM_degrad (for cell degradation), Cell_growth (for the dynamics of the tumor growth) and Cell_freeze (for cell motility ability). New genes and pathways include mechanisms around p63 and SRC. Genes from the Hippo pathway and RhoGTPases, such as YAP1, FAK and RAC1 were also inserted to link external signals (i.e., cell–cell contact, stiffness of the extracellular matrix, and stress signals) and intracellular regulation. The resulting network encompasses 45 nodes, with 6 input nodes, representing the possible interactions of an individual cell with external elements, and 8 output nodes or read-outs describing the possible observed phenotypes. This model was initially developed as a MaBoSS model for a multi-scale model of tumor invasion, developed with PhysiBoSS. As SBML-qual cannot describe fully a MaBoSS model yet, we also include the MaBoSS BND and CFG files.

Ligand-independent integrin beta1 signaling supports lung adenocarcinoma development

Project description:Integrins, the principal extracellular matrix (ECM) receptors of the cell, promote cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation, which are key events for cancer growth and metastasis. To date, most integrin-targeted cancer therapeutics have disrupted integrin-ECM interactions, which are viewed as critical for integrin functions. However, such agents have failed to improve cancer patient outcomes. We show that integrin b1, a highly expressed subunit in lung epithelium, is required for lung adenocarcinoma development in a carcinogen-induced mouse model. Likewise, human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with integrin b1 deletion failed to form colonies in soft agar and tumors in mice. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that these effects do not require integrin b1-mediated adhesion to ECM but are dependent on integrin b1 cytoplasmic tail-mediated activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Together, these studies support a critical role for integrin b1 in lung tumorigenesis that is mediated through constitutive, ECM-binding independent signaling involving the cytoplasmic tail.

Effect of depletion of TCF23 on myometrium transcriptome profile during late pregnancy

Project description:TCF23 is a basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor lacking a DNA binding domain with a C-terminal mediated inhibitory action. Tcf23 was significantly induced by progesterone but not estradiol in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate the biological role of Tcf23, we generated the Tcf23 knockout mouse. Although pregnant Tcf23 KO mice were able to maintain gestation until full term, a considerable proportion of KO females experienced delayed parturition, dystocia, and reduced litter outcomes, with a high incidence of resorption and fetal lethality. Morphological analysis of the pregnant uterus revealed aberrant disruption of both circular and longitudinal myometrial layers and disarrayed extracellular matrix at the conceptus sites in the KO mice. Transcriptome profile analysis of the KO myometrium demonstrated disruptions in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM), and gap junction signaling, indicating the crucial role of TCF23 in myometrial remodeling and preparation for contractility during late pregnancy. Altogether, our research highlights a novel cause for labor dysfunction mediated by loss of Tcf23 activity in murine uterine tissue.

Expression data from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as a function of cell adhesion and VEGF exposure

Project description:Angiogenesis is tightly regulated by both soluble growth factors and cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM). While cell adhesion via integrins has been shown to be required for growth factor signaling and downstream angiogenesis, the effects of quantitative changes in cell adhesion and spreading against the ECM remain less clear. Examining changes in global gene expression in limited versus high adhesion contexts in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, we demonstrated a VEGF-induced upregulation of genes associated with vascular invasion and remodeling when cell adhesion was restricted, whereas cells on highly adhesive surfaces upregulated genes associated with a proliferative response. HUVECs were cultured on micropatterned islands of fibronectin or allowed to spread fully for 2 hrs and then stimulated with 50ng/ml VEGF or no growth factor for 18 hrs in starve media. Sample RNA from three biological replicates was extracted and prepared for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
