Project description:Loss of functional cardiomyocytes is a major determinant of heart failure after myocardial infarction. Previous high throughput screening studies have identified a series of microRNAs that induce cardiomyocyte proliferation and stimulate cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction. Here we investigate the mechanism of action of the top ten most effective of these miRNAs. Analysis of the transcriptional profile of miRNA-treated cardiomyocytes revealed an involvement of the Hippo-YAP pathway in their action. All the investigated miRNAs activated YAP-mediated transcription, nuclear localization of active YAP and increased expression of YAP responsive genes. In particular, miR-199a-3p, one of the most effective miRNAs, directly downregulated two mRNA targets impinging on the Hippo pathway, the upstream inhibitory kinase TAOK1and the E3 ubiquitin ligase destroying YAP, b-TrCP. Most of the miRNAs that promoted proliferation also modulated the dynamics of the cardiomyocyte actin cytoskeleton. In particular, four miRNAs targeted Cofilin2 and increased the ratio between polymerized F-actin and monomeric G-actin. Cells treated with the most effective miRNAs (including miR-199a-3p) were round-shaped, with formation of gross bundles of actin fibers at the cytoplasm periphery. During mitosis, these miRNA-treated cardiomyocytes displayed disruption of the sarcomeric architecture. Downregulation of Cofilin2 itself was sufficient to promote cardiomyocyte proliferation, activate nuclear translocation of YAP and stimulate transcription of TEAD-responsive genes. Inhibition of F-actin polymerization decreased YAP activation. Collectively, these results indicate that activation of YAP and modulation of the acting cytoskeleton are major components of the pro-proliferative effect of miR-199a-3p and other miRNAs inducing cardiomyocyte proliferation

Project description:Remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton through actin dynamics (assembly and disassembly of filamentous actin) is known to be essential for numerous basic biological processes. In addition, recent in vitro studies provided evidence that actin dynamics participate in the control of gene expression. A spontaneous mouse mutant, corneal disease 1 (corn1), is deficient for a regulator of actin dynamics, destrin (DSTN; also known as actin depolymerizing factor or ADF), and develops epithelial hyperproliferation and neovascularization in the cornea. Dstncorn1 mice exhibit the actin dynamics defect in the corneal epithelial cells as evidenced by increased filamentous actin, offering an in vivo model to investigate the physiological significance of the transcriptional regulation by actin dynamics. To examine the effect of the Dstncorn1 mutation on gene expression, we performed a microarray analysis using the cornea from Dstncorn1 and wild-type control mice. A dramatic alteration of gene expression was observed in the Dstncorn1 cornea, with 1,226 annotated genes differentially expressed. Functional annotation of these genes revealed that most significantly enriched functional categories are associated with actin and/or cytoskeleton. Among genes that belong to these categories, a considerable number of serum response factor (SRF) target genes were found, indicating the existence of the actin-SRF pathway of transcriptional regulation in vivo. A comparative study using an allelic mutant strain, Dstncorn1-2J, with milder corneal phenotypes also suggested that the severity of the actin dynamics defect correlates with the level of gene expression changes. Our study provides evidence that actin dynamics have a strong impact on gene expression in vivo. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis was performed in triplicate with RNA from each genotype, A. BY H2bc H2-T18f/SnJ (A. BY wild-type), A. BY H2bc H2-T18f/SnJ-Dstncorn1/J (Dstncorn1), C57BL/6J (B6 wild-type), C57BL/6JSmn-Dstncorn1-2J/J (Dstncorn1-2J), and C.129S2(B6)-Il8rbtm1Mwm/J (Il8rb-/-), hybridized to three Affymetrix MG 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:The actin cytoskeleton is a three-dimensional scaffold of proteins that is a regulatory, energy-consuming material with dynamic properties shaping the structure and function of the cell. The proper function of actin is required for many cellular pathways, including cell division, autophagy, chaperone function, endocytosis, and exocytosis (1–5). The breakdown of these cellular processes manifests during aging and exposure to stress, which is in part due to the breakdown of the actin cytoskeleton (5–9). However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in preservation of cytoskeletal form and function are not well understood. Here, we performed a multi-pronged, cross-organismal screen combining a whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 screen in human fibroblasts with in vivo C. elegans synthetic lethality screening. We identified the bromodomain protein, BET-1, as a key regulator promoting actin health and longevity. Interestingly, overexpression of bet-1 preserves actin health at late age and promotes lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans. These beneficial effects are through preservation of actin, downstream of the function of BET-1 as a transcriptional regulator. Together, our discovery attributes assigns a key role of BET-1 in cytoskeletal health, highlighting regulatory cellular networks promoting cytoskeletal homeostasis.

Project description:Recent studies have implicated genes that control actin cytoskeleton dynamics as important regulators in cellular invasion, a critical step in metastasis. Many of their downstream pathways still remain to be discovered. MicroRNAs have emerged as important epigenetics regulators of important cellular processes and aid in the identification of pathways involved in breast cancer progression and metastasis. In this study, we characterized the miR-206 downstream pathway specifically its direct target, Twinfilin (TWF1), a g-actin regulator and their downstream target, interleukin-11 (IL-11). We determined that miR-206 and TWF1 regulate IL-11 expression through the mycocardian-related transcription factor (MRTF-A or MKL1) and serum response factor (SRF) complex. Identification of this novel pathway that regulates breast cancer invasion will aid in the understanding of metastasis and development of new treatment strategies.

Project description:We hypothesized that Tiam1 is involved in invassiveness of retinoblastoma. The fuctional role of Tiam1 in cell progression and metastasis was tested by siRNA mediated knockdown of Tiam1 in retinoblastoma Y79 cells. The genes de-regulated in response to Tiam1 knockdown was analysed by cDNA microarray in which most of the actin cytoskeleton regulation proteins and apoptotic proteins were de-regulated. our results prove that Tiam1 modulates actin cytoskeleton and cell invasion in retinoblastoma.

Project description:Cellular directed migration is critical to invasion-metastasis cascade of cancer cells. We used in vitro transwell model to screen two esophageal cancer cell lines (KYSE30/180) and obtained two pairs of subpopulations with distinc motiliyt ability. Then we used microarrays to detail the differentially expressed genes and microRNAs between these two cell sublines (30U/D and 180U/D) to identify those responsible for ESCC motility.

Project description:Actin cytoskeleton has multiple functions in cancer cell invasion and metastasis; yet how these functions are coordinated remains unclear. In the cytoplasm, actin is necessary for the formation of specialized membrane protrusions, termed invadopodia, that concentrate and secrete extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes, particularly the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), facilitating tumor cell invasion. We recently identified cysteine- and glycine-rich protein 2 (CRP2) as an actin-crosslinking protein whose activity is required for the assembly and elongation of the invadopodium actin backbone. Here, we report that CRP2 is also located in the nucleus of breast cancer cells to induce a complementary pro-metastasis gene expression program mostly related to breast cancer cell invasion and metastasis. We showed in this present study that CRP2 interacts with the transcription factors SRF and GATA3 to regulated the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-13 respectively. Overall, our data indicate that CRP2 act a key mediator of tumor cell invasion.
