Notch signaling in the embryonic ectoderm promotes periderm cell fate and represses mineralization of vibrissa hair follicles

ABSTRACT: The Notch signaling pathway is a critical means to regulate cell face choice in animals. Appropriate regulation of this pathway is also required for human face formation as both loss and gain of function mutations of Notch signaling can cause craniofacial syndromes. Here we examine the consequences of manipulation of Notch signaling in the early mouse embryonic ectoderm by either removing the transcriptional effector Rbpj or expressing a constitutively active form of the Notch1 intracellular domain. Loss of Rbpj resulted in cleft secondary palate but strikingly was also associated with the ectopic mineralization of vibrissal follicles. In contrast, activation of Notch signaling resulted in multiple embryonic defects including a fully penetrant bilateral cleft lip and palate. Further, single cell RNA-seq data indicated a switch from a basal epithelial cell identity towards periderm when Notch signal transduction was elevated. These cell fate changes were accompanied by misregulation of genes and pathways known to impact human and mouse orofacial clefting including Grhl3, Irf6, and the Wnt pathway. Together, these findings provide insight into human craniofacial conditions caused by misregulated Notch activity.

p63 spatio-temporal control of cleft palate

Project description:Cleft palate is a common congenital anomaly with a live birth prevalence estimated to be 1:2500 live births, that results from failure of growth, elevation, adhesion and/or fusion of the palatal shelves during embryogenesis. Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor p63 result in cleft palate in humans and mice. To study the roles of P63 in periderm migration and medial edge epithelia in mice sub-mucous cleft palate, ÎNp63alpha was ectopically expressed in the palatal epithelia using a transgenic approach.

Tamoxifen induces cleft palate in mice

Project description:Tamoxifen (TAM), a widely-used drug in treating breast cancer, has been reported to be associated with craniofacial defects including micrognathia and cleft palate in humans. However, the exact effects of TAM on the developing palate remain unclear. In the present study, we conclude that excess TAM exposure causes cleft palate defect in mice by regulating MAPK pathways, which implicates the importance of tightly regulated MAPK signaling in palate development and provides a basis for further exploration of the molecular etiology of cleft palate defects caused by environmental factors.

FBXO42 facilitates Notch signaling activation and global chromatin relaxation by promoting K63-linked polyubiquitination of RBPJ

Project description:Dysregulation of the Notch-RBPJ signaling pathway has been found associated with various human diseases including cancers; however, precisely how this key signaling pathway is fine-tuned via its interactors and modifications is still largely unknown. In this study, using a proteomic approach, we identified FBXO42 as a novel RBPJ interactor. FBXO42 promotes RBPJ polyubiquitination on lysine (K) 175 via K63 linkage, which enhances the association of RBPJ with chromatin remodeling complexes and induces a global chromatin relaxation. Genetically depleting FBXO42 or pharmacologically targeting its E3 ligase activity attenuates the Notch signaling-related leukemia development in vivo. Taken together, our findings not only revealed FBXO42 as a critical regulator of the Notch pathway by modulating RBPJ-dependent global chromatin landscape changes, but also provide insights into the therapeutic intervention of the Notch pathway for leukemia treatment.

RBPJ/CBF1 interacts with L3MBTL3/MBT1 to promote repression of Notch signaling via histone demethylase KDM1A/LSD1

Project description:Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved signal transduction pathway that is essential for metazoan development. At the molecular level, the key components of the Notch pathway are the NOTCH-family receptors, the ligands of the DSL (Delta, Serrate, Lag-2) family and the transcription factor CSL [CBF1/RBPJ, Su(H), Lag-1]. Upon ligand binding, the NOTCH Intra-Cellular Domain (NOTCH ICD) translocates into the nucleus and forms a complex with RBPJ to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of NOTCH ICD, RBPJ acts as a transcriptional repressor. Using a proteomic approach, we identified L3MBTL3 as a novel interactor of RBPJ. We discovered that L3MBTL3 competes with NOTCH ICD for binding to RBPJ. In the absence of NOTCH ICD, RBPJ recruits L3MBTL3 and its co-factor KDM1A [lysine (K)-specific demethylase 1A] to the promoters/enhancers of Notch target genes to promote H3K4me2 demethylation and transcriptional repression. In three distinct cell contexts in which Notch signaling governs cell fate, i.e., mature T-cells as well as brain and breast tumor cells, the loss of L3MBTL3 results in the de-repression of Notch target genes. Finally, the genetic analyses of the homologs of RBPJ and L3MBTL3 in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans demonstrate that the functional link between RBPJ/Su(H)/lag-1 and L3MBTL3/dL(3)mbt/lin-61 is evolutionarily conserved, thus identifying L3MBTL3 as a universal modulator of Notch signaling in metazoans.

CNV analysis of 140 Filipinos with Cleft Lip and/or Palate

Project description:Orofacial clefts are one of the most common birth defects, affecting 1-2 per 1000 births, and have a complex etiology. High-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization has increased the ability to detect copy number variants that can be causative for complex diseases such as cleft lip and/or palate. Utilizing this technique on 97 non-syndromic cleft lip and palate cases and 43 cases with cleft palate only, we identified a heterozygous deletion of Isthmin 1 in one affected case, as well as a deletion in a second case which removes putative 3' regulatory information. Isthmin 1 is a strong candidate for clefting as it is expressed in orofacial structures derived from the first branchial arch and is also in the same synexpression group as fibroblast growth factor 8 and sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 1a and 2, all of which have been associated with clefting. Copy number variants affecting Isthmin 1 are exceedingly rare in control populations, and Isthmin 1 scores as a likely haploinsufficiency locus. Confirming its role in craniofacial development, knockdown or CRISPR/Cas9-generated mutation of isthmin 1 in Xenopus laevis resulted in mild to severe craniofacial dysmorphologies, with several individuals presenting with median clefts. Moreover, knockdown of isthmin 1 produced decreased expression of LIM homeobox 8, itself a gene associated with clefting, in regions of the face that pattern the maxilla. Our study demonstrates a successful pipeline from copy number variant identification of a candidate gene to functional validation in a vertebrate model system and reveals Isthmin 1 as both a new human clefting locus as well as a key craniofacial patterning gene.

Transcriptome profiling reveals cleft palate-related genes in Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis)

Project description:The Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) is anadromous fish distributed in Yangtze River and East China Sea. In this study, we reported cleft-palate Chinese sturgeons in artificial population for the first time. In order to explore the genetic basis of palate malformation in A. sinensis, Illumina RNA-seq technology was used to analyze the transcriptome data of normal and cleft-palate individuals in farmed Chinese sturgeons. Raw reads were obtained and assembled into 808,612 unigenes, with an average length of 509.33 bp and an N50 of 574 bp. Sequence similarity analyses against four public databases (Nr, Uniprot, KEGG and COGs) found 158,642 unigenes that can be annotated. GABAergic synapse and TGF-β signal pathway were the most two enriched pathways with high Richfactor in the analyses of different expressed genes. In these two signal pathways, six genes (GABRA4, GS, GNS, S6K, PITX2, and BMP8) were found as cleft-palate genes in Chinese sturgeon. These findings contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of cleft palate in sturgeon, while simultaneously adding to our knowledge about craniofacial development.

Embryonic transcriptome analysis of wt vs irf6-/- zebrafish at 4hpf

Project description:We report transcriptional profiles of 4hpf zebrafish embryos from either wild-type or a CRISPR-targeted irf6 loss-of-function mutant. Irf6 is a transcription factor implicated in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms of cleft palate. To define critical genes involved in palate development, we harvested RNA from irf6-/- embryos before an embryonic lethal stage in zebrafish and carried out RNA-sequencing and subsequent analysis. We identify top differentially expressed genes that include genes involved in periderm development, genes expressed in developmental processes (such as Fgfs and Wnt-pathway genes), and genes involved in orofacial clefting. We identify a crucial gene esrp1 that we chose for further validation and downstream analysis.

RA-induced prominence-specific response resulted in distinctive regulation of Wnt and osteogenesis [mRNA-seq]

Project description:Proper retinoic acid (RA) signaling is essential for normal craniofacial development. Both excessive RA and RA deficiency in early embryonic stage led to a variety of craniofacial malformations, e.g., cleft palate, which have been investigated extensively. Dysregulated Wnt and Shh signaling were shown to underlie the pathogenesis of RA-induced craniofacial defects. In our present study, we showed a spatiotemporal-specific effect of RA signaling in regulating early development of facial prominences. While inhibited the Wnt activities in E12.5/E13.5 mouse palatal shelves, early exposure of excessive RA induced Wnt signaling and Wnt-related gene expression in mouse embryonic Frontonasal/Maxillary processes. A conserved regulatory network of miR-484-Fzd5 was identified to play critical roles in RA regulated craniofacial development using RNA-seq.
