Project description:Mutations in ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD8 cause one of the most frequent monogenetic forms of autism and are associated with brain overgrowth. Nevertheless, the activities of CHD8 in autism-relevant cell types are still poorly understood. Here, we purify the CHD8 protein from human neural stem cells and determine its interaction partners using mass spectrometry. We identify the TRRAP complex, a coactivator of MYC and E2F transcription factors, as a prominent CHD8 interaction partner. CHD8 colocalizes genome-wide with TRRAP and binds together at MYC and E2F target gene promoters in human neural stem cells. Depletion of CHD8 or TRRAP in human neural stem cells shows downregulation of MYC and E2F target genes as the most prominent gene-regulatory events. Depletion of CHD8 diminishes cell-cycle entry into S-phase. MYC and E2F transcription factors are established oncogenes and regulate cell growth. Our results link CHD8 to TRRAP in facilitating the regulation of MYC and E2F target genes in human neural stem cells.

Project description:Mutations in ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD8 cause one of the most frequent monogenetic forms of autism and also associate with brain overgrowth. Nevertheless, activities of CHD8 in autism-relevant cell types are still poorly understood. Here we purify the CHD8 protein from human neural stem cells and determine its interaction partners by mass spectrometry. We identify the TRRAP-complex, a coactivator of MYC and E2F transcription factors, as a prominent CHD8 interaction partner. CHD8 colocalizes genome-wide with TRRAP and TRRAP and CHD8 bind together to MYC- and E2F-target gene promoters in human neural stem cells. Acute depletion of CHD8 or TRRAP from human neural stem cells shows down-regulation of MYC- and E2F-target genes as most prominent gene-regulatory events. MYC and E2F factors are established oncogenes known to regulate cell growth. Our results link CHD8 to TRRAP in facilitating regulation of MYC- and E2F-target genes in neural stem cells.

Project description:BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) play an essential role in the regulation of gene expression. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the role of hsa_circ_0068307 in bladder cancer (BCa).MethodsRt-qPCR was used to detect hsa_circ_0068307 expression in BCa cell lines. The CCK8, colony formation, and Transwell assays were used to evaluate the effect of hsa_circ_0068307 on BCa cell migration and proliferation. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter experiments were used to study the regulatory mechanism. Nude mouse xenografts were generated to examine the effect of hsa_circ_0068307 on tumor growth.ResultsThe results showed that hsa_circ_0068307 was upregulated in BCa cell lines. Downregulation of hsa_circ_0068307 suppressed cell migration and proliferation in T24 and UMUC3 cells. Hsa_circ_0068307 silencing suppressed cancer stem cell differentiation by upregulating miR-147 expression. Upregulation of miR-147 suppressed c-Myc expression, which is involved in cancer stem cell differentiation. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed that hsa_circ_0068307 upregulated c-Myc expression by targeting miR-147. In vivo studies showed that hsa_circ_0068307 knockdown suppressed T24 tumor growth.ConclusionsThese data indicate that downregulation of hsa_circ_0068307 reversed the stem cell-like properties of human bladder cancer through the regulation of the miR-147/c-Myc axis.

Project description:Mechanism-based targeted therapies have exhibited remarkable success in treating otherwise untreatable or unresectable cancers. Novel targeted therapies that correct dysregulated transcriptional programs in cancer are an unmet medical need. The transcription factor MYC is the most frequently amplified gene in human cancer and is overexpressed because of mutations in an array of oncogenic signaling pathways. The fact that many cancer cells cannot survive without MYC - a phenomenon termed "MYC addiction" - provides a compelling case for the development of MYC-specific targeted therapies. We propose a new strategy to inhibit MYC function by disrupting its essential interaction with TRRAP using small molecules. To achieve our goal, we developed a platform using luminescence complementation for identifying small molecules as inhibitors of the MYC:TRRAP interaction. Here we present validation of this assay by measuring the disruption of TRRAP binding caused by substitutions to the invariant and essential MYC homology 2 region of MYC.

Project description:The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (pRb) has traditionally been studied as a negative regulator of cell cycle progression through its interactions with the E2F family of transcription factors. Utilizing prostate epithelial cell lines established from Rb+/+ and Rb-/- prostate tissues, we previously demonstrated that Rb-/- epithelial cells were not transformed and retained the ability to differentiate in vivo despite the lack of pRb. To further study the effects of pRb loss in an epithelial cell population, we utilized oligonucleotide microarrays to identify any pRb-dependent transcriptional regulation during serum depletion-induced growth arrest. These studies identified 120 unique transcripts regulated by growth arrest in Rb+/+ cells. In these wild-type cells, the majority (80%) of altered transcripts were downregulated, including 40 previously identified E2F target genes. Although the transcriptional repression of E2F target genes is characteristic of pRb pocket protein family activity, further analysis revealed that, compared to Rb+/+ cells, Rb-/- cells exhibited a nearly identical response for all transcripts including those of E2F target genes. These findings demonstrate that pRb is not strictly required for the vast majority of transcriptional alterations associated with growth arrest.
