Project description:The main scientific objective of the project was to investigate whether Lamin A/C could be involved in neuroblastoma differentiation. Moreover, taking into account the significance of differentiation stage in the neuroblastoma tumor progression we have also studied a possible role of Lamin A/C in the tumorigenesis of this neuronal cancer. As differentiating stimulus we used the all-trans retinoic acid (RA), the most effective compound which has been shown to induce differentiation in neuroblastoma cells. To get insight into the impairment of cell differentiation produced by the LMNA (Lamin A/C) silencing in SHSY5Y cells, we compared the gene expression profile of control and silenced cells both in Retinoic Acid treated and untreated samples, using the one-color Agilent microarray platform. Four condition experiment: cells infected with a mock vector (Mock cells), treated and untreated with retinoic acid (RA); cells infected with a silencing vector for LMNA (LMNA-KD cells), treated and untreated with retinoic acid.

Project description:The mouse neuroblastoma N18TG2 clone is unable to differentiate and defective for the enzymes of the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters. The forced expression of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in these cells results in the synthesis and release of acetylcholine (Ach) and hence in the expression of neurospecific features and markers. To understand how the expression of ChAT triggered neuronal differentiation, we studied the differences in genome-wide transcription profiles between the N18TG2 parental cells and its ChAT-expressing 2/4 derived clone. The engagement of the 2/4 cells in the neuronal developmental programme was confirmed by the increase of the expression level of several differentiation-related genes and by the reduction of the amount of transcripts of cell-cycle genes. At the same time, we observed a massive reorganisation of cytoskeletal proteins in terms of gene expression, with the accumulation of the nucleoskeletal lamina component Lamin A/C in differentiating cells. The increase of the Lmna transcripts induced by ChAT-espression in 2/4 cells was mimicked treating the parental N18TG2 cells with the acetylcholine-receptor agonist carbachol, thus demonstrating the direct role played by this receptor in neuron nuclei maturation. Conversely, a treatment of 2/4 cells with the muscarinic-receptor antagonist atropine resulted in the reduction of the amount of Lmna RNA. Finally, the hypothesis that Lmna gene product might play a crucial role in the ChAT-dependent molecular differentiation cascade was strongly supported by Lmna knock-down in 2/4 cells leading to the down-regulation of genes involved in differentiation and cytoskeleton formation and to the up-regulation of genes known to regulate self-renewal and stemness. The gene expression profile of the ChAT-expressing 2/4 clone was compared to that of the N18TG2 parental cells, with and without retinoic acid (RA) stimulation using Agilent microarray analysis.

Project description:In mammals, RNA interference (RNAi) was historically studied as a cytoplasmic event, however, in the last decade growing number of reports convincingly show nuclear localization of the AGO proteins. Nevertheless, the mechanism and the extent of nuclear RNAi remains to be fully elucidated. We found that reduced Lamin A levels significantly induced nuclear influx of AGO2 in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma and A375 melanoma cancer cell lines, which normally have no nuclear AGO2. Lamin A KO manifested a more pronounced effect in SHSY5Y cells compared to A375 evident by changes in cell morphology, increased cell proliferation and oncogenic miRNA expression. Furthermore, in SHSY5Y cells, AGO fPAR-CLIP in Lamin A KO cells revealed significantly reduced activity of RNAi. Further exploration of the nuclear AGO interactome by mass spectrometry indicated that AGO2 is in complex with FAM120A, an RNA binding protein and known interactor of AGO2. By performing FAM120A fPAR-CLIP we discovered that FAM120A co-binds AGO targets and that this competition reduces the activity of RNAi. Therefore, loss of Lamin A triggers nuclear AGO2 translocation, RNAi impairment and selective upregulation of oncogenic miRNAs to facilitate cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Interactions between the nuclear lamina (NL) and chromatin are thought to occur through large lamin association domains (LADs) and correlate with gene repression in these domains. We show that binding of lamin A/C (LMNA) to promoters occurs on discrete domains that are associated with distinct transcriptional outputs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation identifies thousands of LMNA-bound promoters, primarily linked to signaling functions. LMNA often occupies narrow domains on promoters, yet LMNA-bound promoters are often contiguous. LMNA-bound genes are overall repressed, but repression correlates with co-enrichment in repressive histone marks rather than LMNA occupancy per se. Genes marked by LMNA and H3K4me3 escape LMNA-associated repression in the absence of repressive histone marks. Positioning of LMNA on promoters relative to the TSS correlates with distinct transcriptional outputs: whereas upstream-distal binding can be transcriptionally permissive, TSS occupancy is associated with promoter inactivity. Perturbation in NL organization causes reorganization of lamin promoter occupancy and uncouples LMNA binding from promoter inactivity. Our results show the existence of many spatially restricted LMNA binding events on promoter regions, with distinct position-dependent transcriptional outputs. Total RNA obtained from ASCs and ASCs depleted of LMNA (LMNA-KD) and processed for microarray hybridization.

Project description:Background: Lamins A/C (encoded by the LMNA gene) can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Objectives: This study sought to undertake proteomic analysis of myocardial tissue to explore the postgenomic phenotype of end-stage lamin heart disease. Methods: Consecutive patients with end-stage lamin heart disease (LMNA-group, n=7) and ischaemic DCM (ICM-group, n=7) undergoing heart transplantation were enrolled. Samples were obtained from left atrium(LA), left ventricle(LV), right atrium(RA), right ventricle(RV) and interventricular septum(IVS). Liquid chromatography combined with mass-spectrometry was used for protein quantification. We compared protein concentrations in cardiac samples between LMNA and ICM groups. Proteins were considered differentially abundant if the quantitative difference was 1.5-fold and corrected p-value <0.05 at a false discovery rate of 0.01. Gene ontology(GO) enrichment analysis explored the related biological processes. Results: 4,247 proteins were identified in LMNA and ICM samples, of which 633 were differentially abundant in LA, 39 in LV, 181 in RA, 52 in RV, and 85 in IVS. Abundance of lamin A/C was reduced but lamin B (LMNB) increased in LMNA LA/RA tissue compared to ICM, but not in LV/RV. Transthyretin was more abundant in the LV/RV of LMNA compared to ICM while sarcomeric proteins such as titin and cardiac myosin heavy chain were generally reduced in RA/LA of LMNA. Protein expression profiling and GO enrichment analysis revealed sarcopenia, extracellular matrix(ECM) remodeling, deficient myocardial energetics, redox imbalances, and abnormal calcium handling in LMNA samples. Conclusion: Lamin heart disease is a biventricular and biatrial disease, characterized by sarcopenia, aberrant metabolism, and ECM remodeling. LMNB and transthyretin were unexpectedly abundant in the atria and ventricles respectively of patients with end-stage lamin heart disease potentially hinting to the possibility of compensatory responses.

Project description:Dynamic interactions of nuclear lamins with chromatin through so-called lamin-associated domains (LADs) contribute to spatial arrangements of the genome. Here, we provide evidence for pre-patterning of differentiation-driven formation of lamin A/C LADs by domains of histone H2B modified by the nutrient sensor O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (H2BGlcNAc), which we term GADs. We demonstrate a two-step process of lamin A/C LAD formation during in vitro adipogenesis, involving (i) a spreading of lamin A/C-chromatin interactions during the transition from progenitor cell proliferation to cell cycle arrest, and (ii) a genome-scale redistribution these interactions through a process of LAD ‘exchange’ within hours of adipogenic induction. Chromatin state modeling reveals that lamin A/C LADs can be found both in active and repressive chromatin contexts which can be influenced by cell differentiation status. De novo formation of adipogenic lamin A/C LADs occurs non-randomly on GADs, consisting of megabase-size intergenic and repressive chromatin domains. Accordingly, while pre-differentiation lamin A/C LADs are gene-rich, post-differentiation LADs harbor repressive features reminiscent of lamin B1 LADs. Moreover, release of lamin A/C from genes directly involved in glycolysis concurs with their transcriptional upregulation after adipogenic induction, and with concordant downstream elevations in H2BGlcNAc levels and O-GlcNAc cycling. Our results unveil an epigenetic pre-patterning of adipogenic LADs by GADs, suggesting a coupling of developmentally regulated lamin A/C-genome interactions to a metabolically sensitive chromatin modification.

Project description:Tight control of cell fate choices is crucial for normal development. Here we show that lamin A/C plays a key role in chromatin organization in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which safeguards naïve pluripotency and ensures proper cell fate choices during cardiogenesis. We find major changes in chromatin compaction and localization of cardiac genes already in Lmna−/−ESCs resulting in precocious activation of a transcriptional program promoting cardiomyocyte versus endothelial cell fate, accompanied by premature cardiomyocyte differentiation, cell cycle withdrawal, and abnormal contractility. Gata4 is activated by lamin A/C loss and Gata4 silencing or haploinsufficiency rescues the aberrant cardiovascular cell fate choices induced by lamin A/C deficiency. Importantly, we observe divergent functions of lamin A/C in naïve pluripotent stem cells and cardiomyocytes, which has distinct contributions to the transcriptional alterations of patients with LMNA-associated cardiomyopathy. Thus, disruption of lamin A/C-dependent chromatin architecture in ESCs is a primary event in LMNA loss-of-function cardiomyopathy.
