Project description:Tonicity-Responsive Enhancer-Binding Protein (NFAT5), also known as Tonicity-Responsive Enhancer Binding Protein (TonEBP), is a important transcription factor in the regulation of osmoprotective and inflammatory genes. NFAT5 has been reported to regulate the pathological processes of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Our data provides a insight to the gene expression in NFAT5 deficiency BV2 microglia cells, which NFAT5 knocked down by sh-RNA.

Project description:Nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5) is a transcription factor known for its role in osmotic stress adaptation in the renal inner medulla, due to osmotic gradient that is generated between renal cortex and renal inner medulla. However, its broader implications in kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are less understood. Here we used two different Cre deleter mice (Ksp1.3-Cre and Aqp2-Cre) to generate tubule segment and even cell type specific NFAT5 deficient mice in the principal cells of the collecting duct (CD) and in the distal nephron starting in the TAL up to the CD and performed extensive gene expression profiling. In both Nfat5 knockout models, we observed massive changes in gene expression pattern, with heightened inflammatory responses and renal injury, culminating in renal fibrosis. Interestingly, inflammatory responses and fibrosis were much more prominent in the Aqp2Cre+/-Nfat5fl/fl mice that lack NFAT5 only in the collecting duct. By analyzing gene expression in the medullary and cortical regions of the kidney separately, we confirmed that the loss of NFAT5 results in kidney injury that extends beyond hypertonic areas. The correlation between the levels of inflammatory response, injury severity, and fibrosis indicates that cytokines are key mediators of stress signals in the kidney. Thus, NFAT5 is essential not only for adapting to osmotic stress but also for regulating cytokine signaling.

Project description:The skin protects the human body against dehydration and harmful challenges. Keratinocytes (KCs) are the most frequent epidermal cells, and it is anticipated that KC-mediated transport of Na+ ions creates a physiological barrier of high osmolality against the external environment. We studied in KCs the role of NFAT5, a transcription factor whose activity is controlled by osmotic stress. Cultured KCs from adult mice secrete more than 300 proteins, and upon NFAT5 ablation, the secretion of several matrix proteinases, including metalloproteinase-3 (Mmp3) and kallikrein-related peptidase 7 (Klk7), was markedly enhanced. An increase in Mmp3 and Klk7 RNA levels was also detected in transcriptomes of Nfat5-/- KCs, along with increases of numerous components of ‘Epidermal Differentiation Complex’ (EDC), as proline-rich Sprr and S100 proteins. NFAT5 and Mmp3 are co-expressed in basal KCs from fetal and adult skin but not in skin of newborn mice. This is correlated with a strong increase in Mmp3 and Klk7 expression in KCs of newborn mice and suggests, along with the fragile epidermis of adult Nfat5-/- mice, a suppressive effect of NFAT5 on the expression of matrix proteases in skin. Our data suggest that NFAT5 controls the expression of matrix proteases in skin and contributes to the many fold changes during embryonal skin development and skin integrity in adults.

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms underlying cell type-specific gene expression in the kidney is essential to elucidate renal function. Using the Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) we analyzed open chromatin structures and the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms in mediating gene expression differences between the renal cortex (CTX) and inner medulla (IM). We also examined the role of the nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), a key regulator of hypertonicity. ATAC-seq analysis was performed on CTX and IM samples from both wild-type (WT) and NFAT5 knockout (KO) mice. This study revealed global differences in chromatin accessibility between renal CTX and IM and the impact of NFAT5 loss on open chromatin regions. Furthermore, spatial localization and NFAT5-promoted chromatin accessibility correlate with differential gene expression and altered promoter binding motif enrichment in CTX and IM. Our findings provide new insights into spatial and NFAT5-promoted transcriptional regulation in the kidney, and their importance for renal function and adaptation to osmotic stress.

Project description:Temozolomide (TMZ) therapy offers minimal clinical benefits in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with high EGFR activity, underscoring the need for effective combination therapy. Here, we show that tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein (NFAT5) lysine methylation, is a determinant of TMZ response. Mechanistically, EGFR activation induces phosphorylated EZH2 (Ser21) binds and triggers NFAT5 methylation at K668. Methylation prevents NFAT5 cytoplasm interaction with E3 ligase TRAF6, thus blocks TRAF6 induced K63-linked ubiquitination mediated NFAT5 lysosomal degradation and cytosol localization restriction, result in NFAT5 protein stabilization, nuclear accumulation and activation. Methylated NFAT5 leads to the upregulation of MGMT, a transcriptional target of NFAT5, which is responsible for unfavorable TMZ response. Inhibition of NFAT5 K668 methylation improved TMZ efficacy in orthotopic xenografts and PDX models. Notably, NFAT5 K668 methylation levels are elevated in TMZ-refractory specimens and confer poor prognosis. Our findings suggest targeting NFAT5 methylation as an effective therapeutic strategy to improve TMZ response in tumors with EGFR activation.

Project description:NFAT5 is an osmoprotective transcription factor whose DNA binding domain shares structural homology with NFkappaB and other member of NFAT family, but its role in chronic inflammatory diseases remains unclear. The mRNA profiling of synoviocytes and endothelial cells transfected with NFAT5-targeted siRNA reveals three major changes in cellular processes associated with the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis: cell cycle and survival, angiogenesis, and cell migration. The cells were transfected with NFAT5-targeted siRNA or non-specific scrambled (control) siRNA.

Project description:Chronic hypoxic stress stimulates lung endothelial cells to promote vascular remodeling processes, which - in the long run - increase the resistance of pulmonary arteries. While several molecular determinants promoting these maladaptive changes have been delineated, their transcriptional regulation is not well studied. In this context, we revealed that hypoxia activates nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5/TonEBP) in murine lung endothelial cells (MLECs) - a transcription factor that regulates the adjustment of the cellular transcriptome to cope with osmotic, biomechanical or metabolic environmental stressors. Here, we studied the functional relevance of NFAT5 for the control of endothelial hypoxic stress responses in the lung. Genetic ablation of Nfat5 in endothelial cells did not evoke any obvious phenotypic alterations under normoxia. However, microarray-based transcriptome analyses of lung tissue revealed significant alterations 7 but not 21 days after exposure to normobaric hypoxia (10% O2).

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the involvement of Nfat5 in the regulation of an ibuprofen transporter Method: Reverse transfection with siRNA against Nfat5 was used to knockdown Nfat5 in MDCK I cells. The uptake of both radiolabelled taurine and ibuprofen was measured in MDCK I cells, first treated with siRNA against Nfat5 for 24 h and afterwards cultivated with raffinose-supplemented normal growth medium (500 mOsm) for 24 h. The knock down of NFat5 was investigated by qpCR and western blotting. A transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 was performed. Validation of the transcriptome analysis was perform with qPCR and radiolabelled uptake of ibuprofen. Results: The siRNA transfection resulted in a knock down of Nfat5, and the uptake of both taurine and ibuprofen was significant decreased in the transfected MDCK I cells. The transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 revealed genes regulated by Nfat5 during hyperosmotic exposure. qPCR and the transciptome analysis showed an involvement of Nfat5 in the hyperosmotic regulation of Tmem184 and uptake in Tmem184b-siRNA treated MDCK I cells showed that Tmem184b might be involved in uptake of ibuprofen. Conclusion: The regulation of Tmem184b was found regulated by Nfat5 and could be a potential possible candidate for the gene product responsible for the uptake of ibuprofen in MDCK I cells
