MEF2D functions as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: The myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) gene family plays fundamental roles in the genetic programs that control cell differentiation, morphogenesis, proliferation, and survival in a wide range of cell types. The molecular programs they regulate and their role in tumor development and progression remain incompletely understood. The present study evaluated whether the MEF2D transcription factor functions as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. We found knockout of the MEF2D gene in mouse mammary epithelial cells resulted in phenotypic changes characteristic of neoplastic transformation, including: enhanced cell proliferation, loss of contact inhibition, and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar, as well as capacity for tumor development in mice. Through RNAseq analysis, we found knockout of MEF2D induced the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and activated several oncogenic signaling pathways. In summary, our study indicates that MEF2D may be a putative tumor suppressor, acting through selective gene regulatory programs that have clinical and therapeutic significance in breast cancer.

MEF2D drives photoreceptor development through a genome-wide competition for tissue-specific enhancers (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Organismal development requires the precise coordination of genetic programs to regulate cell fate and function. MEF2 transcription factors play essential roles in this process but how these broadly expressed factors contribute to the generation of specific cell types during development is poorly understood. Here we show that despite being expressed in virtually all mammalian tissues, in the retina MEF2D binds to retina-specific enhancers and controls photoreceptor cell development. MEF2D achieves specificity by cooperating with a retina-specific factor CRX, which recruits MEF2D away from canonical MEF2 binding sites, and redirects it to retina-specific enhancers that lack the consensus MEF2 sequence. Once bound to retina-specific enhancers, MEF2D and CRX co-activate the expression of photoreceptor-specific genes that are critical for retinal function. These findings demonstrate that broadly expressed TFs acquire specific functions through competitive recruitment to enhancers by tissue-specific TFs, and through cooperative activation of these enhancers to regulate tissue-specific genes.

MEF2A, MEF2C, and MEF2D Interactomes in Mouse MA-10 Leydig Cells

Project description:In steroidogenic Leydig cells, MEF2A, MEF2C, and MEF2D are key regulators of genes involved in steroid hormone synthesis, reproductive function, and oxidative stress defense. Here we used TurboID proximity-mediated biotinylation to map the protein-protein interaction networks of MEF2A, MEF2C, and MEF2D in mouse MA-10 Leydig cells. Interactions were captured under both basal (unstimulated) and forskolin-stimulated conditions to examine differences in the MEF2 interactomes in relation to steroidogenesis. This dataset provides insights into MEF2-related signalling pathways and the functional landscape of MEF2 transcription factors in Leydig cells.

MEF2D binding sites in rat hippocampal neurons

Project description:We analyzed the binding profiles of MEF2D, a member of MEF2 family transcription factors, in rat hippocampal neurons. Keywords: ChIP-chip We used custom-designed rat genome tiling array manufactured by Nimblegen Systems, Inc . This array contains probes that represent the following rat genomic regions: 182 genes identified by mRNA profiling experiments, 86 genes whose expression was decreased by both KCl-mediated depolarization and MEF2 RNAi, and 40 control genes whose expression was not altered by MEF2 RNAi or MEF2-VP16-ER. The array not only covers the entire gene regions but also contains probes that correspond to the 40 kb 5â²and 3â² to each gene. Repeatmasking was conducted by Nimblegen to ensure that repetitive elements were not tiled on the microarray. Probe length and spacing between the probes were 50-75mer and 50 bp, respectively.

p38γ and p38δ modulate innate immune response by regulating MEF2D activation

Project description:Evidence implicating p38γ and p38δ (p38γ/p38δ) in inflammation are mainly based on experiments using p38γ/p38δ deficient (p38γ/δ-/-) mice, which show low levels of TPL2, the kinase upstream of MKK1-ERK1/2 in myeloid cells. This could obscure p38γ/p38δ roles, since TPL2 is essential for regulating inflammation. Here we generated a p38γD171A/D171A/p38δ-/- (p38γ/δKIKO) mouse, expressing kinase-inactive p38γ and lacking p38δ. This mouse exhibited normal TPL2 levels, making it an excellent tool to elucidate specific p38γ/p38δ functions. p38γ/δKIKO mice showed a reduced inflammatory response and less susceptibility to LPS-induced septic shock and Candida albicans infection than wild-type mice. Gene expression analyses in LPS-activated WT and p38γ/δKIKO macrophages revealed that p38γ/p38δ regulated numerous genes implicated in innate immune response. Additionally, phospho-proteomic analyses and in vitro kinase assays showed that the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor-2D (MEF2D) was phosphorylated at Ser444 via p38γ/p38δ. Mutation of MEF2D Ser444 to the non-phosphorylatable residue Ala increased its transcriptional activity and the expression of iNOS and IL-1β mRNA. These results suggest that p38γ/p38δ govern innate immune responses by regulating MEF2D phosphorylation and transcriptional activity.

Dysregulated gene expression in cardiac chambers of adult Mef2a knockout mice

Project description:In this study, we have identified MEF2A-sensitive genes in atrial and ventricular chambers of the adult heart. MEF2A is a member of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors. MEF2 proteins are expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues and are conserved across many mammalian species, but the gene programs regulated by MEF2A in adult cardiac chambers are largely unknown. We compared gene expression profiles between WT and Mef2a knockout atria and ventricles from adult mice, and the results identified distinct and overlapping sets of genes sensitive to the loss of MEF2A in the adult heart.

Gene expression signatures of MEF2D-silencing hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:Global expression profiles in Huh7 after infection with Lv-shMEF2D and Lv-scrambled, as well as transfection with siRNA-MEF2D and siRNA-control, were compared to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in MEF2D-mediated regulation of cell cycle. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in MEF2D-mediated regulation of cell cycle, we assessed gene expression profiles in Huh7 cells after infection with Lv-shMEF2D and Lv-scrambled, as well as transfection with siRNA-MEF2D and siRNA-control, by cDNA microarray. Analysis of global mRNA expression profile indicated a shift toward G2/M arrest in the cells after downregulating MEF2D expression. The genes that inhibit G2/M transition were found to be expressed in high level in MEF2D-downregulated group, as compared with control group. Meanwhile, mRNA abundance of G2/M transition-promoting genes, except CDC2 and CDC25C, was reduced when MEF2D expression was depressed in Huh7 cells

Transcription Factor MEF2D is Required for the Maintenance of MLL-rearranged Acute Myeloid Leukemia [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with MLL-rearrangement (MLL-r) comprises approximately 10% of all AML cases and portends poor outcomes. Much remains to be uncovered on how MLL-r AML drives leukemia development while preventing cells from normal myeloid differentiation. Here, we identified that transcription factor MEF2D is a highly expressed gene with a super-enhancer MLL-r AML. Knockout of MEF2D profoundly impaired leukemia growth, induced myeloid differentiation, and delayed oncogenic progression in vivo. Mechanistically, MEF2D loss led to robust activation of a CEBPE-centered myeloid differentiation program in AML cells. Chromatin profiling revealed that MEF2D binds to and suppresses the chromatin accessibility of CEBPE cis-regulatory regions. In human acute leukemia patient samples, MEF2D expression showed a strong negative correlation with the expression of CEBPE. Depletion of CEBPE partially rescued the cell growth defect and myeloid cell differentiation induced by the loss of MEF2D. Lastly, we show that MEF2D is positively regulated by HOXA9, and downregulation of MEF2D is an important mechanism for DOT1L inhibitor-induced anti-leukemia effects in MLL-r AML. Collectively, our findings suggest that MEF2D plays a critical role in human MLL-r AML and uncover the MEF2D-CEBPE axis as a crucial transcriptional mechanism regulating leukemia cell self-renewal and differentiation block in MLL-r AML.
