Project description:ETS-related transcription factors ETV4 and ETV5 play crucial roles for organogenesis and morphogenesis. We compared the transcriptional profiles between wild-type and ETV4 and ETV5 double knockout (ETV4/5 dKO) ES cells by an oligo DNA microarray analysis. Self-renewal capacity and pluripotency are known to be controlled by an ES cell-specific transcription factor network; therefore, we focused on transcription-associated genes. Of 1258 transcription-related genes, 47 genes were significantly downregulated and 98 genes were significantly upregulated in ETV4/5 dKO ES cells. Several genes whose expression is specific to undifferentiated ES were repressed in ETV4/5 dKO ES cells. In contrast, expression of differentiation markers was enhanced in ETV4/5 dKO ES cells.

Project description:Our in vitro binding studies support a model whereby MED25 exhibits multivalent interactions with a subset of related ETS factors, ETV1/4/5. We hypothesize that the interaction would allow for coregulation of genes by ETV1/4/5 and MED25, acting perhaps to link the ETVs to the Mediator complex. To explore this possibility, we compared the genome occupancy for FLAG-tagged MED25 and ETV4 in the prostate cancer cell line PC3, which overexpresses ETV4. We also tested for relevance of MED25 and ETV4 binding to for gene expression in PC3s. We found a high degree of overlap in the FLAG-MED25 and ETV4 ChIPs datasets consistent with our model, and also identified a subset of target genes co-dependent on Med25 and ETV4.

Project description:Chromosomal abnormalities that give rise to elevated expression levels of the ETS genes ETV1, ETV4, ETV5, or ERG are prevalent in prostate cancer, but the function of these transcription factors in carcinogenesis is not clear. Previous work implicates ERG, ETV1, and ETV5 as regulators of invasive growth but not transformation in cell lines. Here we show that the PC3 prostate cancer cell line provides a model system to study the over-expression of ETV4. Anchorage independent growth assays and microarray analysis indicate that high ETV4 expression is critical for the transformation phenotype of PC3 cells. However, genes up-regulated upon ETV4 over-expression were very similar to genes up-regulated by ETV1 over-expression in the RWPE-1 normal prostate cell line. Together these data indicate that the ETV4 dependent transformation phenotype observed in PC3 cells is due to the genetic background of the cell line, rather than a distinct characteristic of ETV4. Furthermore, these findings suggest that the function of ETS genes in prostate cancer may differ based on other genetic alterations in a tumor. Two sets of two color experiments. First is PC3 cells expressing one of two independent ETV4 shRNAs versus PC3 cells expressing a control shRNA (luciferase). Second is RWPE-1 cells expressing 3xFlag tagged ETV4 versus RWPE-1 cells with a control (empty) vector.

Project description:Since brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy through UCP1, BAT has garnered attention as a therapeutic intervention for obesity and metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. As we better understand the roles of classical brown and beige adipocytes, increased beige fat mass in response to a variety of external/internal cues is associated with significant improvements in glucose and lipid homeostasis that may not be entirely mediated by UCP1. We aim to analyze transcriptome of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipocyte to identify the UCP1-independent function.

Project description:All extant amniotes employ a single-layered epithelium of epiblasts as a starting material for gastrulation, suggesting the necessity of the epithelial structure for three germ layer derivation. Using a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) epithelium as a model system, we found that local epithelial crowding derepresses the neuroectoderm fate by spatiotemporal inactivation of ETV4. ETV4 serves as a genetic toggle switch that links cell density to lineage fates. Mechanistically, cell crowding blocks FGF receptor endocytosis by reduced cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction. Disrupted endocytosis decreases ETV4 protein stability by ERK inactivation. Mathematical modeling of epithelial crowding demonstrates that the cooperativity of integrin-ECM interaction transforms the gradient of crowdedness into bistable ETV4 transition, which ensures the switch-like function of ETV4 in lineage determination. Our results propose local cell crowding in a stem cell epithelium as a key cellular mechanism for spatiotemporal regulation of lineage fates.

Project description:Non-shivering thermogenesis in adipocytes is mediated by brown adipose tissue, purportedly through the sole action of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). The physiological relevance of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis has primarily been inferred from the attenuation of thermogenic output of mice genetically lacking Ucp1 from birth (germline Ucp1-/-). However, germline Ucp1-/- mice harbor secondary changes within brown adipose tissue beyond UCP1, such as reduced electron transport chain abundance. We show here that these secondary changes also encompass reduced expression of genes regulating fuel liberation, changes that would attenuate the capacity of any thermogenic pathway. Therefore, the quantitative contribution of UCP1-dependent and -independent thermogenesis is not fully understood. To mitigate the potentially confounding ancillary changes to brown adipose tissue of germline Ucp1-/- mice, we constructed mice with inducible adipocyte-selective disruption of Ucp1. We find that, while germline Ucp1-/- mice succumb to cold-induced hypothermia with complete penetrance, most mice with inducible deletion of Ucp1 maintain homeothermy in the cold. However, inducible adipocyte-selective co-deletion of Ucp1 and creatine kinase B (Ckb, an effector of UCP1-independent thermogenesis) exacerbates cold-intolerance, indicative of a negative genetic interaction and thus a parallel thermogenic function. We find no evidence for impairments in insulation or non-shivering thermogenesis in skeletal muscle that would drive this phenotype. Furthermore, following UCP1 deletion or UCP1/CKB co-deletion from mature adipocytes, moderate cold exposure triggers the regeneration of mature adipocytes that coordinately restore UCP1 and CKB to brown adipose tissue, providing further evidence of their parallel thermogenic relationship. Our findings suggest that thermogenic adipocytes utilize non-paralogous protein redundancy – through UCP1 and CKB – to promote cold-induced energy dissipation.

Project description:The ETS family of oncogenic TFs is emerging as crucial mediators of tumorigenesis in solid tumors. New insights into the molecular mechanisms hijacked by these factors will pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies. We have previously shown that ETV4 is the preponderant ETS factor that is associated with tumor progression and a worse prognosis in NSCLC. To determine the genome-wide chromatin binding of ETV4, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing studies in A549-shETV4 cells transfected with flag-ETV4 using flag antibody. In total, 54389 ETV4 binding peaks representing 25708 genes were identified (FC > 2), and 43.71% peaks were enriched in the promoter regions. Our ChIP-seq data showed that ETV4 is enriched in many genes that related with the wnt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, cell cycle, and autophagy, etc.

Project description:In order to propagate a solid tumor, cancer cells must adapt to and survive under various tumor microenvironment (TME) stresses, such as hypoxia or lactic acidosis. To systematically identify genes that modulate cancer cell survival under stresses, we performed genome-wide shRNA screens under hypoxia or lactic acidosis. We discovered that genetic depletion of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA or ACC1) or ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) protected cancer cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis. Additionally, loss of ACLY or ACC1 reduced levels and activities of the oncogenic transcription factor ETV4. Silencing ETV4 also protected cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis and led to remarkably similar transcriptional responses as with silenced ACLY or ACC1, including an anti-apoptotic program. Metabolomic analysis found that while α-ketoglutarate levels decrease under hypoxia in control cells, α-ketoglutarate is paradoxically increased by hypoxia when ACC1 or ACLY are depleted. Supplementation with α-ketoglutarate rescued the hypoxia-induced apoptosis and recapitulated the decreased expression and activity of ETV4 via an epigenetic mechanism. Therefore, ACC1 and ACLY regulate the levels of ETV4 under hypoxia via increased α-ketoglutarate. These results reveal that ACC1/ACLY- α-ketoglutarate-ETV4 is a novel means by which metabolic states regulate transcriptional output for life vs. death decisions under hypoxia. Since many lipogenic inhibitors are under investigation as cancer therapeutics, our findings suggest that the use of these inhibitors will need to be carefully considered with respect to oncogenic drivers, tumor hypoxia, progression and dormancy. More broadly, our screen provides a framework for studying additional tumor cell stress-adaption mechanisms in the future. DESIGN: H1975 lung cancer cells transduced with a scramble shRNA hairpin or two different shRNAs against ACLY, ACC1, or ETV4 under hypoxia.
