Human cytomegalovirus infection coopts chromatin organization to modulate TEAD1 transcription factor activity [HiChIP]

ABSTRACT: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects up to 80% of the world’s population and is linked to serious morbidity in immunocompromised individuals and newborns. Here, using multiple genome-scale assays and computational approaches, we show that HCMV infection leads to widespread changes in chromatin accessibility and chromatin looping, with hundreds of thousands of human genomic regions affected 48 hours after infection. Integrative analyses reveal that HCMV infection perturbs the Hippo signaling pathway by drastically diminishing TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments confirm extensive concordant loss of TEAD1 binding and H3K27ac active histone marks upon infection. TEAD transcription factors are direct effectors of the Hippo signaling pathway, and our data support a position for TEAD1 at the top of a hierarchy involving key developmental pathways with differential expression subsequent to HMCV infection. Known gene targets of TEAD1, including Cellular Communication Network Factor 1 (CCN1) and Thrombospondin 1 (THBS1), are significantly downregulated with HCMV infection, reflecting diminished TEAD1-mediated activity. HCMV infection reduces TEAD1 binding through four distinct mechanisms: closing of TEAD1-bound chromatin, reduction of Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator (YAP1) and phosphorylated YAP (pYAP1) levels, reduction of TEAD1 transcript and protein levels, and alteration of TEAD1 exon-6 usage. Collectively, these comprehensive genome-scale analyses reveal novel mechanisms induced by HCMV infection.

Project description:Regulation of organ size is important for development and tissue homeostasis. In Drosophila, Hippo signaling controls organ size by regulating the activity of a TEAD transcription factor, Scalloped, through modulation of its coactivator protein Yki. The role of mammalian Tead proteins in growth regulation, however, remains unknown. Here we examined the role of mouse Tead proteins in growth regulation. In NIH3T3 cells, cell density and Hippo signaling regulated the activity of Tead proteins by modulating nuclear localization of a Yki homologue, Yap, and the resulting change in Tead activity altered cell proliferation. Tead2-VP16 mimicked Yap overexpression, including increased cell proliferation, reduced cell death, promotion of EMT, lack of cell contact inhibition, and promotion of tumor formation. Growth promoting activities of various Yap mutants correlated with their Tead-coactivator activities. Tead2-VP16 and Yap regulated largely overlapping sets of genes. However, only a few of the Tead/Yapregulated genes in NIH3T3 cells were affected in Tead1-/-;Tead2-/- or Yap-/- embryos. Most of the previously identified Yap-regulated genes were not affected in NIH3T3 cells or mutant mice. In embryos, levels of nuclear Yap and Tead1 varied depending on cell types. Strong nuclear accumulation of Yap and Tead1 were seen in myocardium, correlating with requirements of Tead1 for proliferation. However, their distribution did not always correlate with proliferation. Taken together, mammalian Tead proteins regulate cell proliferation and contact inhibition as a transcriptional mediator of Hippo signaling, but the mechanisms by which Tead/Yap regulate cell proliferation differ depending on cell types, and Tead, Yap and Hippo signaling may play multiple roles in mouse embryos. We used microarrays to know the gene expression profiles regurated by Tead2-VP16, Tead2-EnR, Yap, and cell density in NIH3T3 cells. Keywords: Cell density, genetic modification Tead2-VP16-, Tead2-EnR-, Yap- and control vector-expressing cells were cultured at low or high density for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
