Project description:We describe the genome-wide DNA-binding of GATA6 in a human CRC cell line (LS174T). GATA6 is found to bind the promoter of genes involved in the maintenance of intestinal stem cells, including genes of the Wnt and TGFbeta/BMP pathways. With this we describe a novel GATA6-dependent mechanism of stem cell maintenance in colorectal tumors.

Project description:Aberrant activation of WNT signaling and loss of BMP signals represent the two main alterations leading to the initiation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we screen for genes required for maintaining the tumor stem cell phenotype and identify the zinc-finger transcription factor GATA6 as key regulator of the WNT and BMP pathways in CRC. GATA6 directly drives the expression of LGR5 in adenoma stem cells while it restricts BMP signaling to differentiated tumor cells. Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 competes with beta-catenin/TCF4 for binding to a distal regulatory region of the BMP4 locus that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Hence, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation. Total RNA was collected from biological replicates of LS174T colorectal cancer cells transduced with either short hairpin against GATA6 (shGATA6) or non-silencing control (NS) grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS in the presence of doxycycline (dox: 1 µg mL-1; Sigma Aldrich) or vehicle (70% ethanol) for a period of 72h. Short hairpins were designed and cloned into doxycycline inducible pTRIPZ lentiviral vector (Open Biosystems). Additionally a 4-hydoxy tamoxifen inducible system was used to inducibly block beta-catenin/TCF activity for a period of 36h. Briefly, the ERT2 domain from the pCMV-CRE-ERT2 (Feil et al., 1996) was amplified by PCR and cloned into a modified FUGW lentiviral vector backbone (Lois et al., 2002). NTCF was then amplified byPCR from the pCDNA3.1-NTCF-NLS (van de Wetering et al., 2002) and cloned in frame upstream of the ERT2 from the FUW-CMV-ERT2 (ET) to create the FUW-CMV-NTCF-ERT2 (NET). Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzol® Plus RNA Purification Kit (Life Technologies).

Project description:By studying a mouse model, as well as human tumors samples and cell lines, we have revealed a tumor suppressive role for Gata6 in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In order to understand the mechanism underlying such tumor suppressive function, we analyzed the genome-wide DNA-binding of GATA6 in a human PDAC cell line (PaTu8988S). GATA6 is found to bind the promoter of genes involved in the epithelial differentiation programme, as well as of genes involved in the mesenchymal programme. With this we describe a novel GATA6-dependent mechanism of regulation of EMT. Examination of GATA6 binding to the DNA in a human PDAC cell line

Project description:We have previously described in mouse models that pancreas-specific deletion of Gata6 results in pancreas alterations by rendering pancreatic acinar cells in a non-fully differentiation state, and furthermore it accelerates tumor initiation and progression in a pro-tumorigenic context (KrasG12V expression). We aim to determine the sites where Gata6 binds at the genome-wide level in the pancreas to unveil why its loss leads to altered pancreatic function and enhanced tumor formation when coexpressed with KrasG12V.

Project description:Epithelial organs including the lung are known to possess regenerative abilities through activation of endogenous stem cell populations but the molecular pathways regulating stem cell expansion and regeneration are not well understood. Here we show that Gata6 regulates the temporal appearance and number of bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs) in the lung leading to the precocious appearance of BASCs and concurrent loss in epithelial differentiation in Gata6 null lung epithelium. This expansion of BASCs is the result of a dramatic increase in canonical Wnt signaling in lung epithelium upon loss of Gata6. Expression of the non-canonical Wnt receptor Fzd2 is down-regulated in Gata6 mutants and increased Fzd2 or decreased β-catenin expression rescues, in part, the lung epithelial defects in Gata6 mutants. During lung epithelial regeneration, we show that canonical Wnt signaling is activated in the niche containing BASCs and forced activation of Wnt signaling leads to a dramatic increase in BASC numbers. Moreover, Gata6 is required for proper lung epithelial regeneration and postnatal loss of Gata6 leads to increased BASC expansion and decreased differentiation. Together, these data demonstrate that Gata6 regulated Wnt signaling controls the balance between stem/progenitor expansion and epithelial differentiation required for both lung development and regeneration.
