Effect of overexpression of aging-association transcription factors on epithelial cells.

ABSTRACT: RNA-seq profiling of whole, intact uteri at embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5) from young and aged virgin wild-type C57BL/6 mice—each mated with vasectomized wild-type males—identified the transcription factors Foxc1 and Six1 as aging-associated markers. Immunostaining of mouse uteri across an age range of 8 to 41 weeks revealed a progressive upregulation of FOXC1, initially localized to individual stromal cells in the endometrium, followed by prominent expression in both luminal and glandular epithelial cells. To investigate the functional role of Foxc1 and Six1, their full-length open reading frames were cloned into a PiggyBac expression vector, sequence-verified, and overexpressed in Ishikawa cells. Phenotypic characterization and RNA-seq analysis of these cells provided a framework for understanding FOXC1-mediated aging-related effects.

Analysis of age-associated transcriptome changes in uterus and decidua

Project description:We use RNA-sequencing to measure global transcription in uteri of young and aged (~1yr old) C57BL/6 females at day 3.5 (E3.5) of pregnancy, and of the decidual part of E11.5 placentas developed in young and aged (~1yr old) females. We report dys-regulation of gene expression in the E3.5 uteri and E11.5 deciduae of aged mice. We compare the transcriptome of young and aged E11.5 deciduae with that of young deciduae from E9.5-E12.5 of pregnancy, and report that aged E11.5 deciduae are developmentally retarded in comparison to young deciduae.

SIX1 regulates aberrant endometrial epithelial cell differentiation and cancer latency following developmental estrogenic chemical exposure

Project description:Female mice exposed neonatally to the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) develop metaplastic and neoplastic uterine changes as adults. Abnormal endometrial glands express the oncofetal protein sine oculis homeobox 1 (SIX1) and contain cells with basal (cytokeratin [CK]14+/18-) and poorly differentiated features (CK14+/18+), strongly associating SIX1 with aberrant differentiation and cancer. Here we tested whether SIX1 expression is necessary for abnormal endometrial differentiation and DES-induced carcinogenesis by using Pgr-cre to generate conditional knockout mice lacking uterine Six1 (Six1d/d). Interestingly, corn oil (CO) vehicle treated Six1d/d mice develop focal endometrial glandular dysplasia and features of carcinoma in situ as compared with CO wildtype Six1 (Six1+/+) mice. Furthermore, Six1d/d mice neonatally exposed to DES had a 42% higher incidence of endometrial cancer relative to DES Six1+/+ mice. While DES Six1d/d mice had >10-fold fewer CK14+/18- basal cells within the uterine horns as compared with DES Six1+/+ mice, the appearance of CK14+/18+ cells remained a feature of neoplastic lesions. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes associated with the phenotypic changes described above. Expression of three genes (Ihh, Krt14, and Trp63) were quantified by real-time PCR, confirming low variability between samples as well as the predicted response pattern.

Epigenetic profiling of mouse uteri across reproductive aging

Project description:Advanced maternal age increases the risk of pregnancy complications because of a higher incidence of karyotypic imbalances in the oocyte. A very important yet much less explored contribution to this risk, however, is the declining capacity of the uterus to adapt to the hormonal stimulus of pregnancy. As such, it has remained unknown what drives the uterine aging phenotype on the molecular and cellular level. Here, we show in mice that maternal aging is associated with a progressive increase in transcriptional variation that is accompanied by a drastic accumulation of activating histone marks. Importantly, the transcriptional signatures associated with uterine aging differ substantially from those of organismal aging. Single-cell deconvolution analysis demonstrates that maternal age-induced effects originate in the epithelial compartment and specifically entail a dramatic up-regulation of the pioneer transcription factor FOXC1, linked to an accumulation of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac across the locus. FOXC1 over-expression in human endometrial cells causes profound transcriptomic shifts and increases proliferation rates, recapitulating the aging phenotype. Using endometrial epithelial organoids of young and aged mice, we find that aging hallmarks including Foxc1 up-regulation and H3K27ac hyper-enrichment are conserved in vitro. In line with the epithelial hyperplasia phenotype seen in vivo, endometrial epithelial organoids from aged mice are larger and mis-express key factors critical for uterine gland maturity and function, most notably SOX9. Collectively, our data highlight the specific susceptibility of uterine epithelial cells to early-onset aging, with early changes manifesting in an increase in activating epigenetic marks that coalesce on the mis-regulation of FOXC1.

Expression profiling of luminal and glandular epithelia in the neonatal and adult mouse uterus

Project description:Laser capture microdissection coupled with microarray genes expression analysis were utilized in order to elucidate the regulatory networks active in epithelial cells of the neonatal and adult mouse uterus. Genes predominantly expressed in the glandular epithelium (GE) in the neonatal or adult uterus were determined by comparing transcripts in the isolated samples of luminal epithelium (LE) and GE from postnatal day (PD) 10, day of psudopregnancy (DOPP) 2.5 or DOPP 3.5 uteri (n=2/cell type/day).

Endocrine disruption of early uterine differentiation causes adenocarcinoma mediated by Wnt/β-catenin- and PI3K/AKT signaling

Project description:Developmental exposure to non-mutagenic environmental factors can contribute to cancer risk, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. We used a mouse model of endometrial adenocarcinoma that results from brief developmental exposure to an estrogenic chemical, diethylstilbestrol (DES), to determine causative factors. Single cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics of adult uteri revealed new markers of uterine epithelial stem cells, identified luminal and glandular progenitor cells, and defined a glandular epithelial differentiation trajectory. Neonatal DES exposure disrupted uterine epithelial differentiation, resulting in widespread activation of Wnt signaling and a failure to generate epithelial stem cells or distinguishable glandular and luminal epithelial cells. The endometrial stromal cells activated inflammatory signals and oxidative stress. Together, these changes activated PI3K/AKT signaling to drive malignant transformation. These findings explain how human cancers, which are often associated with abnormal activation of PI3K/AKT signaling, could result from exposure to environmental insults during development.

Inducible three-factor direct reprogramming to nephron progenitors using piggyBac transposons

Project description:All nephrons in the mammalian kidney arise from a transient nephron progenitor population that is lost after birth. The recreation of nephron progenitors (NPs) and/or their maintenance in culture has been a major focus of renal regenerative strategies. Using a lentiviral screening approach, we previously generated an induced nephron progenitor (iNP) state in vitro using a pool of six transcription factors (SIX1, SIX2, HOXA11, OSR1, EYA1, SNAI2). Here, using an inducible piggyBac transposon system, we demonstrate efficient reprogramming to iNPs with only three transcription factors (SNAI2, EYA1 and SIX1). Coupled with maintenance in culture conditions supportive of this progenitor state, the resulting population can contribute to developing nephrons in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo. This approach provides a rapid and efficient method for the generation of NPs from human somatic cells.

Characterization of age-associated gene expression changes in mouse sweat glands [FP_YO]

Project description:Evaporation of sweat on the skin surface is the major mechanism for dissipating heat in humans. The secretory capacity of sweat glands (SWGs) declines during aging, leading to heat intolerance in the elderly, but the mechanisms responsible for this decline remain incompletely understood. We investigated the molecular changes accompanying SWG aging in mice, where sweat tests confirmed a significant reduction of active SWGs in old mice relative to young mice. We first identified SWG-enriched mRNAs by comparing the transcriptome of Eda mutant Tabby mice, which lack SWGs, with that of wild-type control mice by RNA-sequencing analysis. This comparison revealed 171 mRNAs enriched in SWGs, including 47 mRNAs encoding core secretory proteins such as transcription factors, ion channels, ion transporters, and trans-synaptic signaling proteins. Among these, 28 SWG-enriched mRNAs showed significantly altered abundance in the aged footpad skin, and 11 of them, including Foxa1, Best2, Chrm3, and Foxc1 mRNAs belonged to the ‘core secretory’ category. Consistent with the changes in mRNA expression, immunohistology revealed that higher numbers of secretory cells from old SWGs express FOXC1 protein, the product of Foxc1 mRNA. In sum, our study identified mRNAs enriched in SWGs, including those that encode core secretory proteins, and changes in these mRNAs and proteins with SWG aging in mice.
