Project description:Although mesenchymal subtypes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) are known as “immunologically cold” tumors, the molecular link between tumor immune evasiveness and mesenchymal phenotype remains largely unknown. Here, we show that AT-rich interaction domain-containing protein 5a (Arid5a), an RNA-binding protein, is involved in immune evasion in PDAC and CRC mouse models. Mass cytometry demonstrated that in tumors from Arid5a-deficient cells, the infiltration of granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells is suppressed, but cytotoxic T-lymphocyte recruitment is enhanced. Mechanistically, Arid5a augmented Ido1 and Ccl2 expression by stabilizing these mRNAs in the PDAC model, but not Ido1 in the CRC model. Furthermore, Arid5a expression was substantially increased in mesenchymal subtypes of PDAC and CRC, mediated by ZEB1, and Arid5a promoted TGF-b-induced and IL6-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and acquisition of invasiveness in PDAC model cells. Thus, our findings demonstrate that Arid5a is a promising target for immunotolerant malignant tumors.

Project description:Interleukin (IL-6) is a pleotropic cytokine with both tumor-promoting and -inhibitory effects on breast cancer growth. However, the mechanisms governing the outcome of IL-6 on cancer progression remain to be clarified. Our study unraveled a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-AU021063 downstream of IL-6 signaling. We found that IL-6 induced the expression of lncRNA-AU021063 predominantly in breast cancer compared to other cancer types. Mechanistically, IL-6 induced AT-rich interactive domain 5a (Arid5a) expression, which promotes the transcription of lncRNA-AU021063. In turn, lncRNA-AU021063 promotes breast cancer metastasis through stabilizing tribbles homolog 3 (Trib3) and activating Mek/Erk signaling pathway. Genetic ablation of either Arid5a, lncRNA-AU021063 or Trib3 abolished breast cancer metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our study highlights the importance of IL-6-Arid5a-lncRNA-AU021063 axis in regulating breast cancer invasiveness and metastasis, which may provide potential novel therapeutics for breast cancer.

Project description:Recent genome-scale ChIP-chip studies of transcription factors have shown that a low percentage of experimentally determined binding sites contain the consensus motif for the immunoprecipitated factor. In most cases, differences between in vivo target sites that contain or lack a consensus motif have not been explored. We have previously shown that most sites to which E2F family members are bound in vivo do not contain E2F consensus motifs. The main purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of how E2F binding specificity is achieved in vivo. In particular, we have addressed how E2F family members are recruited to core promoter regions that lack a consensus motif and are excluded from other regions that contain a consensus motif. Using promoter and ENCODE arrays, we have shown that the predominant factors specifying whether E2F is recruited to an in vivo binding site are a) the site must be in a core promoter and b) the promoter region must be utilized as a promoter by the transcriptional machinery in that particular cell type. We have tested three models for recruitment of E2F to core promoters lacking a consensus site, including a) indirect recruitment, b) looping to the core promoter mediated by an E2F bound to a distal consensus motif, and c) assisted binding of E2F to a site that weakly resembles an E2F consensus motif within the core promoter. To test these models, we developed a new in vivo assay, termed eChIP, which allows analysis of transcription factor binding to isolated promoter fragments. Our findings suggest that in vivo a) the presence of a consensus motif is not sufficient to recruit E2Fs, b) E2Fs can bind to isolated regions that lack a consensus motif, and c) binding can require regions other than the best match to the E2F PWM in the core promoter.

Project description:Zinc finger (ZnF) domains are widespread RNA-binding domains, recognizing single stranded and double stranded RNAs. Together with other RNA-binding domains, ZnFs enhance the affinity and specificity of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The ZnF-containing RBP Roquin controls mRNA decay by recognizing stem-loop elements in the 3'-UTR of its target mRNAs. Stem-loop elements are bound in a shape-specific manner by the unique ROQ domain with nanomolar affinity. The ZnF was suggested to play an essential role in RNA decay by Roquin. However, its RNA motif preference was not investigated so far. Here, we use RBNS to elucidate the RNA binding preference of the isolated Roquin-1 ZnF domain. We find that the ZnF preferentially recognizes single-stranded AU-rich elements (ARE).

Project description:The goal of this study was discover the transcription binding synthax for the key differentiation TFs in mouse embryonic stem cells. Genes are regulated through enhancer sequences, in which transcription factor binding motifs and their specific arrangements (syntax) form a cis-regulatory code. To understand the relationship between motif syntax and transcription factor binding, we train a deep learning model that uses DNA sequence to predict base-resolution binding profiles of four pluripotency transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, and Klf4. We interpret the model to accurately map hundreds of thousands of motifs in the genome, learn novel motif representations and identify rules by which motifs and syntax influence transcription factor binding. We find that instances of strict motif spacing are largely due to retrotransposons, but that soft motif syntax influences motif interactions at protein and nucleosome range. Most strikingly, Nanog binding is driven by motifs with a strong preference for ~10.5 bp spacings corresponding to helical periodicity. Interpreting deep learning models applied to high-resolution binding data is a powerful and versatile approach to uncover the motifs and syntax of cis-regulatory sequences.

Project description:Chromatin remodeling and histone modifications are important for development and floral phase transition in plants. However, it is largely unknown whether and how these two epigenetic regulators coordinately regulate the important biological processes. Here, we identified three types of ISWI chromatin remodeling complexes in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that ARID5, a subunit of a plant-specific ISWI complex, can regulate development and floral phase transition. The ARID-PHD dual domain cassette of ARID5 recognizes both the H3K4me3 histone mark and AT-rich DNA. We determined the ternary complex structure of the ARID5 ARID-PHD cassette with an H3K4me3 peptide and an AT-containing DNA. The H3K4me3 peptide is combinatorially recognized by the PHD and ARID domains, while the DNA is specifically recognized by the ARID domain. Both PHD and ARID domains are necessary for the association of ARID5 with chromatin. The results suggest that the dual recognition of AT-rich DNA and H3K4me3 by the ARID5 ARID-PHD cassette may facilitate the association of the ISWI complex with specific chromatin regions to regulate development and floral phase transition
