Liver transcriptomic profile of 3 months old wild type and hepatocyte-specific ATF6 overexpression mice

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fastest growing cause of cancer-related mortality with limited therapies. While endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are implicated in HCC, the involvement of the UPR-transducer activating transcription factor 6 alpha (ATF6α) remains unclear. We generated hepatocyte specific n-ATF6 overexpression transgenic mice via Cre-mediated recombination. At 3 months age, livers from the transgenic mice and their wild type controls were harvested for RNA isolation and followed with RNA-sequencing.

Activated-ATF6α is an ER stress-inducing oncoprotein metabolically restricting immunosurveillance [bulk RNA-seq of Atf6 KO DEN/HFD]

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fastest growing cause of cancer-related mortality with limited therapies. While endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are implicated in HCC, the involvement of the UPR-transducer activating transcription factor 6 alpha (ATF6α) remains unclear. In contrast to the well-characterized role of ATF6α-activation as an adaptive response to ER-stress, we here demonstrate its hitherto unknown function as an ER stress-inducing oncoprotein and metabolic master-regulator restricting cancer-immunosurveillance. In human HCC, ATF6α-activation significantly correlated with reduced patient-survival, tumor-progression, local immunosuppression, and higher recurrence rates of liver-cancer upon hepatectomy. Hepatocyte-specific ATF6α-activation in mice induced progressive hepatitis with ER-stress, immunosuppression, and hepatocyte-proliferation. Concomitantly, activated-ATF6α increased glycolysis and repressed gluconeogenic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1). Restoring FBP1 expression prevented ATF6α-activation-related pathologies. Prolonged ATF6α-activation in hepatocytes triggered hepatocarcinogenesis, intratumoral T-cell infiltration, and nutrient-deprived immune-exhaustion. Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) efficiently restored immunosurveillance and dramatically reduced HCC. In line, HCC patients with a significantly higher ATF6α-activation signature presented complete response to ICB monotherapy. Targeting Atf6 via germline, hepatocyte-specific ablation, or therapeutic delivery of antisense-oligonucleotides dampened HCC in preclinical liver-cancer models. Thus, prolonged ATF6α-activation drives ER-stress, leading to aberrant glucose metabolism-dependent immunosuppression in liver cancer. Our findings propose persistently activated ATF6α as an oncoprotein, stratification-marker for liver-cancer ICB, and targetable therapeutic strategy against HCC.

The Unfolded Protein Response Regulator, ATF6, Promotes Mesodermal Differentiation

Project description:ATF6 encodes a transcription factor that is activated during the Unfolded Protein Response to protect cells from ER stress. Loss of ATF6α and its paralog ATF6β, results in embryonic lethality, notochord dysgenesis, and in people, loss of ATF6α specifically, results in malformed neuroretina and congenital vision loss. These phenotypes implicate an essential role for ATF6 during vertebrate development. We investigated the function of ATF6 in development using human stem cells undergoing differentiation into multipotent germ layers, nascent tissues, and organs. We artificially activated ATF6 in stem cells with a recently identified small molecule ATF6 agonist, and we inhibited ATF6 using iPSCs from patients harboring ATF6 mutations. We discovered that ATF6 suppresses pluripotency, enhances differentiation, and surprisingly, guides stem cells toward mesodermal cell fates. Our findings reveal a novel role for ATF6 during differentiation and identify a new strategy to robustly create mesodermal tissues through modulation of the ATF6 arm of the UPR.

ATF6 is required for the survival of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells

Project description:To gain insight into the global ATF6 target gene profile in prostate cancer cells, we performed RNA-seq analysis in DU145 cells upon either ATF6 siRNA-mediated knockdown (siATF6) or Ceapin-A7-mediated ATF6α inhibition.
