Project description:The present study was designed to identify Mkl1 target genes whose expression requires either the B1 site of Mkl1 and serum response factor (SRF), respectively, or the SAP domain of Mkl1. For this purpose, we obtained the transcriptomes of four stable 4T1 cell lines that either overexpress full length Mkl1-RFP (4T1-FL), Mkl1-RFP with a mutated SRF-interaction site (4T1-mutB1), Mkl1-RFP with a deletion of the SAP domain (4T1-ÎSAP) or an empty vector encoding RFP alone (4T1 control). Stable 4T1 cell lines were grown in triplicates in 0.03% FCS/DMEM medium for 48 h before total RNA was extracted. RNA was converted into labeled cDNA and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. RMA normalized expression values were calculated with the affy package from the Bioconductor 2.4 release (1) and differentially expressed genes were identified using moderated t-statistics calculated with the empirical Bayes method as implemented in the Bioconductor limma package (2). To be considered as differentially expressed between 4T1-FL and 4T1-mutB1 or 4T1-âSAP cells, genes had to pass the filters: adjusted P-value ⤠0.01 (with Benjamin-Hochberg false discovery correction), a minimum absolute linear fold change difference of 2.0 and a minimum average expression value of 4.0 (log2).

Project description:We have previously shown that HC11 mammary epithelial cells react strongly to the overexpression of megakaryoblastic leukemia-1 (Mkl1) with induction of tenascin-C expression. The present study was designed to find genes co-regulated with tenascin-C by Mkl1 in a SAP domain-dependent manner and without the involvement of serum response factor (SRF). For this purpose, we compared the transcriptomes of three stable HC11 cell strains that either overexpress full length Mkl1-RFP (HC11-FL), Mkl1-RFP with a mutated SRF-interaction site (HC11-mutB1) or Mkl1-RFP with a deletion of the SAP domain (HC11-ΔSAP).

HC11 cell strains stably expressing either FL-, mutB1- or ∆SAP-Mkl1-RFP clones were grown in triplicates in 0.03% FCS/RPMI medium without EGF for 48 h before total RNA was extracted. RNA was converted into labeled cDNA and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. RMA normalized expression values were calculated with the affy package from the Bioconductor 2.4 release (1) and differentially expressed genes were identified using moderated t-statistics calculated with the empirical Bayes method as implemented in the Bioconductor limma package (2). To be considered as differentially expressed between HC11-mutB1 and HC11-FL as well as HC11-∆SAP and HC11-FL cell lines, genes had to pass the filters: adjusted P-value ≤ 0.01 (with Benjamin-Hochberg false discovery correction), a minimum absolute linear fold change difference of 2.0 and a minimum average expression value of 4.0 (log2).

Project description:The aim of the experiment is to investigate whether megakaryoblastic leukemia factor-1 (MKL1) induces tenascin-C in normal mammary epithelial HC11 and tumor mammary epithelial 4T1 cell lines, as well as to identify other genes that are transcriptionally regulated by MKL1. For this purpose, we compared the transcriptomes of HC11 and 4T1 cell lines stably expressing the full length (FL) MKL1 protein (HC11-FL and 4T1-FL cell lines) to respective control cell lines stably transfected with an empty vector (HC11-control and 4T1-control cell lines).

Project description:We identified two isoforms of human MKL1 that differ in their N-terminal domains. Since MKL1 is a transcriptional coactivator of SRF and regulates many SRF target genes, we wanted to analyze if transcription is differentially regulated by the two isoforms upon stimulation of the Rho-actin-MKL1-SRF pathway. Activity of the Rho-actin-MKL1 pathway was induced in EcR293 cell lines stably over-expressing the empty vector control, a 5’UTR-full length MKL1_S construct, or a 5’UTR-full length MKL1_L construct by LPA treatment.

Project description:SRF is a ubiquitous transcription factor that binds DNA in association with myocardin-family proteins (e.g. MKL1), or the ternary complex factor (TCF) family of ETS proteins. In primary hematopoietic cells, knockout of either SRF or MKL1 decreases megakaryocyte maturation caused thrombocytopenia, and MKL1 over-expression (MKL1OE) in the Human Erythroleukemia (HEL) cell line enhances megakaryopoiesis, but the mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. To elucidate the role of SRF and MKL1 in megakaryopoiesis, integrated analysis was performed of anti-SRF ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data in undifferentiated and differentiated HEL cells, both with and without induction of MKL1OE. MKL1OE enhances TPA-induced megakaryopoiesis with 25% of genes upregulated, as opposed to 11% with TPA alone. MKL1OE increases SRF binding to genomic sites, and enhances expression of specific target cytoskeletal genes in response to TPA. Genes upregulated in response to TPA are predicted to be regulated by SRF and ETS factors, whereas those upregulated in TPA plus MKL1OE lack ETS binding motifs. Using ChIP-PCR, we validated that both SRF and MKL1 have increased binding at target upregulated genes, e.g. CORO1A, with MKL1OE. We show for the first time that MKL1 increases both the genomic association and activity of SRF, and upregulates genes that enhance megakaryopoiesis.

Project description:Megakaryoblastic Leukemia 1 and 2 (MKL1 and 2) are coactivators of the transcription factor Serum Response Factor (SRF). We recently showed that depletion of MKL1 and 2 abolished HCC xenograft growth, associated with oncogene-induced senescence. To identify suitable MKL target genes mediating these effects, we performed microarray analyses using HuH7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells stably expressing shRNA against MKL1/2 (HuH7 MKL1/2 KD). We therefore used a Affymetrix oligonucleotide array and filtered for genes whose expression in HuH7 MKL1/2 KD cells was reduced by a factor of at least 2.5 as compared to control HuH7 cells.

Project description:Megakaryoblastic Leukemia 1 (MKL1) was identified as part of the t(1;22) translocation specific to acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, but nothing is known regarding its role in hematopoiesis. Here we show that overexpression of MKL1 enhances megakaryocytic differentiation of the Human Erythroleukemia cell line (HEL). Microarray analysis reveals that MKL1 promotes expression of megakaryocyte-specific genes such as glycoprotein V (GP5), as well as cytoskeletal and adhesion molecule genes relevant to megakaryocyte differentiation and proplatelet formation. MKL1 is a transcriptional coactivator of Serum Response Factor. In this study, MKL1 also upregulates known SRF targets. Results provide insight into the role of MKL1 in megakaryocytopoiesis.
