Removing an acid residue is necessary and sufficient to turn SOX17 into a pluripotency factor

ABSTRACT: SOX17 directs the differentiation of the extraembryonic endoderm and acts as a human germline specifier. The replacement of an acidic residue at position 57 with a basic residue found in SOX2 turns SOX17 into a pluripotency factor. Here we systematically interrogated how mutations at this critical position affect the cellular reprogramming activity of SOX17. We found that most mutations turn SOX17 into a pluripotency factor regardless of their biophysical properties. The mutation to an aspartate allows the SOX17E57D protein to maintain a self-renewing endodermal state. Only the glutamate found in the wild-type protein can effectively block a SOX17/OCT4 dimer from binding composite DNA elements found in pluripotency enhancers. Insights into how modifications of an ultra-conserved residue affect functions of developmental transcription factor provide avenues to advance cell fate engineering.

Unique and redundant function of SOX2 and SOX17 in regulating the germ cell tumour fate

Project description:Embryonal carcinomas (ECs) and seminomas are testicular germ cell tumours. ECs display expression of SOX2, while seminomas display expression of SOX17. In somatic differentiation, SOX17 drives endodermal cell fate. However, seminomas lack expression of endoderm markers, but show features of pluripotency. Here, we use ChIP-sequencing to report and compare the binding pattern of SOX17 in seminoma-like TCam-2 cells to SOX2 in EC-like 2102EP cells and SOX17 in somatic cells. In seminoma-like cells, SOX17 was detected at canonical (SOX2/OCT4), compressed (SOX17/OCT4) and other SOX family member motifs. SOX17 directly regulates TFAP2C, PRDM1 and PRDM14, thereby maintaining latent pluripotency and suppressing somatic differentiation. In contrast, in somatic cells canonical motifs are not bound by SOX17. In sum only 10% of SOX17 binding sites overlap in seminoma-like and somatic cells. This illustrates that binding site choice is highly dynamic and cell type specific. Deletion of SOX17 in seminoma-like cells resulted in loss of pluripotency, marked by a reduction of OCT4 protein level and loss of alkaline phosphatase activity. Further, we found that in EC-like cells SOX2 regulates pluripotency-associated genes, predominantly by partnering with OCT4. In conclusion, SOX17 (in seminomas) functionally replaces SOX2 (in ECs) to maintain expression of the pluripotency cluster.

A critical insulin TCR contact residue selects high affinity and pathogenic insulin specific T cells

Project description:Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune mediated disease that culminates in the targeted destruction of insulin producing β cells. CD4 responses in non-obese diabetic mice are dominated by InsB9-23 specificity, and mutation of the key TCR contact residue within the epitope prevents diabetes development. However, it is not clear how insulin self-antigen controls the selection of autoimmune and T regulatory cells. Here we demonstrate that mutation of insulin epitope results in escape of highly pathogenic T cells. We observe an increase in antigen reactivity, clonality and pathogenicity of insulin specific T cells that develop in the absence of cognate antigen. Using single TCR system, we demonstrate that Treg development is greatly diminished in mice with Y16A mutant epitope. Collectively, these results suggest that the tyrosine residue at position 16 is necessary to constrain TCR reactivity for InsB9-23 by both limiting the development of pathogenic T cells and supporting the selection of regulatory T cells.

Gene Expression Analysis of Sox17-induced Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:To determine the effect of Sox17 overexpression in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, we performed gain-of-function analysis by generating ES cell lines carrying a doxycycline inducible FLAG-tagged Sox17 transgene. We treated Sox17-inducible ES cells with doxycycline, collected RNA and performed genome-wide transcriptional analysis. We found that genes invovled in adhesion function and basement membrane establishment were transcriptionally upregulated in ES cells upon induction of Sox17. We also observed downregulation in the transcription of genes involved in pathways known to be functionally important for ES cell pluripotency and self-renewal. However, Sox17 expression was not sufficient to rapidly down-regulate Sox2, Nanog, and Oct4. Two independent doxycycline inducible Sox17-overexpressing mouse embryonic stem cells were derived. The genes expression changes in the Sox17-induced cells were compared to untreated (no doxycycline) controls and to control cells treated with or without doxycycline. The total RNA from these samples were amplified using Ambion Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification kit and arrayed on Illumina MouseRef8 v2 chips.

Transcriptional regulation of Sox17 in HUVEC

Project description:We identified Sox17 as a novel angiogenic transcription factor in the context of tumor. Our data revealed that Sox17 promotes tumor angiogenesis and tumor vessel abnormality. We found that Sox17 is specifically expressed in tumor endothelial cells within tumors. Our study elucidates a novel transcriptional regulation for tumor angiogenesis Control HUVECs vs. Sox17 knockdown HUVECs. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 transfected replicates.
