Project description:Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) has long-term consequences in bone development. we investigated how PDE exerts persistent effect on bone metabolism in mouse offspring. Our results showed that PDE offspring exhibited reduced bone mass, fewer osteoblasts and diminished osteoprogenitors proliferation.And PDE increased MKP-1 expression, while decreasing H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) at Mkp-1 gene locus. Mechanistically, dexamethasone suppressed osteoprogenitors proliferation by upregulating MKP-1 expression, notably through the inhibition of H3K9me2 modifications, which promoted demethylation and transcriptional activation of the Mkp-1 gene. Importantly, restoring histone methylation balance with PFI-90 treatment blocked the inhibitory effects of PDE on MAPK signaling in osteoprogenitors, and mitigated the detrimental impact of PDE on osteoprogenitor proliferation and bone development in the offspring. Therefore,we performed ChIP-seq for H3K9me2 to identify its role in related epigenetic changes.

Project description:PTH is an osteoanabolic for treating osteoporosis but its potency wanes. Disabling the transcription factor nuclear matrix protein 4 (Nmp4) in healthy, ovary-intact mice enhances bone response to PTH and bone morphogenetic protein 2 and protects from unloading-induced osteopenia. These Nmp4-/- mice exhibit expanded bone marrow populations of osteoprogenitors and supporting CD8+ T cells. To determine whether the Nmp4-/- phenotype persists in an osteoporosis model we compared PTH response in ovariectomized (ovx) wild-type (WT) and Nmp4-/- mice. To identify potential Nmp4 target genes, we performed bioinformatic/pathway profiling onNmp4chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data. Mice (12 weeks old) were ovx or sham operated 4 weeks before the initiation of PTH therapy. Skeletal phenotype analysis included microcomputed tomography, histomorphometry, serum profiles, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and the growth/mineralization of cultured WT and Nmp4-/- bone marrow mesenchymal stem progenitor cells (MSPCs). ChIP-seq data were derived using MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts, murine embryonic stem cells, and 2 blood cell lines. Ovx Nmp4-/- mice exhibited an improved response to PTH coupled with elevated numbers of osteoprogenitors and CD8+ T cells, but were not protected from ovx-induced bone loss. Cultured Nmp4-/- MSPCs displayed enhanced proliferation and accelerated mineralization. ChIP-seq/gene ontology analyses identified target genes likely under Nmp4 control as enriched for negative regulators of biosynthetic processes. Interrogation of mRNA transcripts in nondifferentiating and osteogenic differentiating WT and Nmp4-/- MSPCs was performed on 90 Nmp4 target genes and differentiation markers. These data suggest that Nmp4 suppresses bone anabolism, in part, by regulating IGF-binding protein expression. Changes in Nmp4 status may lead to improvements in osteoprogenitor response to therapeutic cues.

Project description:The unfolded protein response maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis by sensing protein-folding stress and orchestrating cellular adaptation via the ER-transmembrane proteins IRE1, PERK and ATF6. Malignant cells can co-opt IRE1 and PERK to sustain growth; however, the importance of ATF6 in cancer remains poorly deciphered. We observed elevated ATF6 transcriptional activity in several cancers including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Genetic silencing or small molecule inhibition of ATF6 blocked cell cycle progression and reduced viability of several human CRC cell lines in vitro and disrupted tumor progression in vivo. Unexpectedly, ATF6 interference disabled Wnt and Myc signaling and reduced stemness. ATF6 inhibition attenuated growth of organoids derived from malignant but not normal human intestinal tissue, decreasing Wnt-pathway activity and driving cellular differentiation. Wnt-surrogate agonism in a Wnt-dependent CRC organoid restored pathway activity and rescued growth under ATF6 blockade. Our findings identify ATF6 as an unexpected facilitator of oncogenic Wnt signaling in CRC.

Project description:Activating transcription factor 6 alpha (ATF6⍺) is one of the three endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane stress sensors that mediate the unfolded protein response (UPR). Despite its significant involvement in long-term ER stress adaption, regulation of ATF6⍺ signalling is still poorly understood, possibly because its activation involves Golgi and nucleus trafficking. Here, we have generated a dual CHO-K1 ATF6⍺/IRE1⍺ reporter cell line to perform an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis screen, in the presence and absence of ER stress, to systematically profile genetic factors that specifically contribute to ATF6⍺ signalling. Anticipated and new candidate genes that regulate ATF6⍺ activation were discovered. Among these, calreticulin (CRT), a key ER luminal chaperone, emerged as a selective repressor molecule of ATF6⍺ signalling. Cells lacking CRT constitutively activated a BiP::sfGFP ATF6⍺-dependent reporter, had higher BiP levels and an increased rate of trafficking and processing of ATF6⍺. Purified CRT interacts with the luminal domain of ATF6⍺ in vitro and the two proteins co-immunoprecipitated from cell lysates. CRT depletion exposed a negative feedback loop implicating ATF6⍺ in repressing IRE1⍺ activity basally and overexpression of CRT reversed phenotype. Our data indicate that CRT, in addition to its known role as a chaperone, also serves as an ER repressor of ATF6⍺ to maintain selective regulation of the UPR.

Project description:Clinical evidence has established that concomitant traumatic brain injury accelerates bone healing, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study showed that after TBI, injured neurons, mainly those in the hippocampus, released osteogenic microRNA (miRNA)-enriched exosomes, which targeted osteoprogenitors in bone to stimulate bone formation. Importantly, increased fibronectin expression on exosomal surface contributed to targeting of osteoprogenitors in bone by TBI exosomes, thereby implying that modification of the exosome surface fibronectin could be used in bone-targeted drug delivery. Together, our findings have established a novel role of central regulation in bone formation and a clear link between injured neurons and osteogenitors, both in animals and clinical settings.

Project description:Endochondral bone formation is orchestrated by growth factors produced by chondrocytes and deposited in cartilage matrix. Some of these factors were identified, but their complete list and relationship remains unknown. In this work the growth factors were isolated from calcified cartilage of costochondral junctions. The isolation involved hyaluronidase digestion, guanidinium hydrochloride (GuHCl) extraction, HCl decalcification and GuHCl extraction of decalcified matrix. Growth factors were purified by heparin chromatography and estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or used for protein sequence analysis. Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7), Growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5), and NEL-like protein 1 (NELL-1) quantitatively dominated in material obtained in all steps of isolation. During ossification perivascular cells and septoclasts enter the cartilage and release growth factors stimulating osteoclastogenesis. Osteoclasts dissolve calcified cartilage and transport released factors needed for stimulation of osteoprogenitor cells. Presence of BMP-7, GDF-5 and NELL-1 at the site of initial bone formation may suggest that their synergistic action favors osteogenesis.

Project description:Imbalances in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis are associated with etiologically-diverse degenerative diseases linked to excessive extracellular protein misfolding and aggregation. Reprogramming of the ER proteostasis environment through genetic activation of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR)-associated transcription factor ATF6 attenuates secretion and extracellular aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins. Here, we employed a screening approach that included complementary arm-specific UPR reporters and medium-throughput transcriptional profiling to identify non-toxic small molecules that phenocopy the ATF6-mediated reprogramming of the ER proteostasis environment. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis was employed to validate the capacity of three prioritized compounds to remodel the ER proteostasis environment, and to assess the prefential activation of ATF6 transcriptional targets relative to targets of the IRE1/XBP1s and PERK arms of the UPR. HEK293T-Rex and HEK293-DAX cells were treated for 6 hr with vehicle (DMSO), 1 µM Tg, 10 mM TMP (in HEK293DAX), or 10 µM 132, 147 or 263 in biological triplicate at 37 ÌC

Project description:Disruptions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that perturb protein folding cause ER stress and elicit an unfolded protein response (UPR) that involves translational and transcriptional changes in gene expression aimed at expanding the ER processing capacity and alleviating cellular injury. Three ER stress sensors PERK, ATF6, and IRE1 implement the UPR. PERK phosphorylation of eIF2 during ER stress represses protein synthesis, which prevents further influx of ER client proteins, along with preferential translation of ATF4, a transcription activator of the integrated stress response. In this study we show that the PERK/eIF2α~P/ATF4 pathway is required not only for translational control, but also activation of ATF6 and its target genes. The PERK pathway facilitates both the synthesis of ATF6 and trafficking of ATF6 from the ER to the Golgi for intramembrane proteolysis and activation of ATF6. As a consequence, liver-specific depletion of PERK significantly reduces both the translational and transcriptional phases of the UPR, leading to reduced protein chaperone expression, disruptions of lipid metabolism, and enhanced apoptosis. These findings show that the regulatory networks of the UPR are fully integrated, and helps explain the diverse pathologies associated with loss of PERK. 14 gene expression arrays, 3 WT control arrays; 3 lsPERK control arrays; 4 WT Treated arrays; 4 lsPERK treated arrays. Comparison of gene expression profiles for treated vs control in wildtype and knock-out.
