Project description:We characterize the phenotype of mice in which the deletion of Lkb1 has been targeted in the liver. Lack of Lkb1 in the liver results in bile duct paucity leading to cholestasis. This phenotype is similar to that obtained upon inactivation of Notch signaling in the liver. We test the hypothesis of a functional overlap between the Lkb1 and Notch pathways by gene expression profiling of livers deficent in Lkb1 or in the Notch mediator RbpJκ. We used AlfpCre mice for liver-specific deletion of LKB1 that were crossed with a conditional knockout mouse model (LKB1 floxed mice). We used also AlfpCre mice for liver-specific inactivation of the Notch pathway. AlfpCre mice were crossed with the RbpJκ floxed mice. RNA was extracted from the liver of LKB1 KO mice (Lkb1Floxed, AlfpCre positive mice) and their wild-type counterpart (Lkb1Floxed, AlfpCre negative mice). RNA was also extracted from liver of RbpJK KO mice (RbpJK floxed, AlfpCre positive) and their wild type mice (RbpJK floxed, AlfpCe negative). 6 samples for the liver-specific deletion of LKB1 corresponding to 3 KO LKB1 (Cre positive) and 3 normal liver (Cre negative). 6 samples for the liver-specific inactivation of the Notch pathway corresponding to 3 KO RbpJk (Cre positive) and 3 normal liver (Cre negative).

Project description:Aim: To determine the role of NOTCH during the response-to-injury and subsequent chronic inflammatory process of the arterial wall underlying atherosclerosis. Methods and results: We have generated an endothelial-specific RBPJK depleted mice using the Cdh5 cadherin promoter (ApoE-/-;RBPJflox/flox;Cdh5- CreERT). Endothelial-specific deletion of the Notch effector RBPJK or systemic deletion of the Notch1 receptor in athero-susceptible ApoE-/- mice fed a HC diet for 6 weeks resulted in reduced atherosclerosis in the aortic arch and sinus. Intravital microscopy revealed decreased leukocyte rolling on the endothelium of ApoE-/-;RBPJflox/flox;Cdh5- CreERT, that correlated with the lesser presence of leukocyts and macrophages in the vascular wall. Consistent with this, transcriptome analysis revealed that proinflammatory and endothelial activation pathways were downregulated in atherosclerotic tissue of RBPJk-mutant mice.. Jagged1 signaling upregulation in endothelial cells promotes the physical interaction and nuclear translocation of the intracellular domain of the Notch1 receptor (N1ICD) with NF-kB,. This N1ICD and NF-kB interaction is required for reciprocal transactivation of target genes including vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (Vcam1). Conclusions: Notch signaling pathway inactivation decreases leukocyte rolling, thereby preventing endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation. Thus attenuating Notch signaling may constitute a useful therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis. Key words: atherosclerosis, endothelium, signaling pathways, Notch, NF-kB, transcriptional regulation

Abstract:
The Notch, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), Wnt, and EGF pathways have long been known to influence cell fate specification in the developing nervous system. Here we attempted to evaluate the contemporary knowledge about neural stem cell differentiation promoted by various drug-based regulations through a systems biology approach. Our model showed the phenomenon of DAPT-mediated antagonism of Enhancer of split [E(spl)] genes and enhancement of Shh target genes by a SAG agonist that were effectively demonstrated computationally and were consistent with experimental studies. However, in the case of model simulation of Wnt and EGF pathways, the model network did not supply any concurrent results with experimental data despite the fact that drugs were added at the appropriate positions. This paves insight into the potential of crosstalks between pathways considered in our study. Therefore, we manually developed a map of signaling crosstalk, which included the species connected by representatives from Notch, Shh, Wnt, and EGF pathways and highlighted the regulation of a single target gene, Hes-1, based on drug-induced simulations. These simulations provided results that matched with experimental studies. Therefore, these signaling crosstalk models complement as a tool toward the discovery of novel regulatory processes involved in neural stem cell maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation during mammalian central nervous system development. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a simple crosstalk map that highlights the differential regulation of neural stem cell differentiation and underscores the flow of positive and negative regulatory signals modulated by drugs.

Project description:Analysis of differential gene expression of total skin from different Notch signaling pathway mutants (specifically PSmut, RBPjmut, and PSRmut). Preselin1&2 are the core components of g-secretase enzyme which essential for the Notch receptor activation. RBPjk is the DNA-binding partner of the Notch Intracellular Domain. The hypothesis tested in the present study was RBPjmut skin would resemble the wild-type skin at the transcriptional level, since RBPjmut mice exhibit milder phenotype than PSmut or PSRmut mice.

Project description:The Notch signaling pathway regulates fate decision, proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells. However, the role of Notch signaling in colorectal cancer progression is largely unknown. Here we show that Notch signaling suppresses the progression of colorectal tumorigenesis, even though it augments tumor initiation. In contrast to adenomas of Apcmin mice, Notch-inactivated Apcmin adenomas showed more malignant characteristics, such as submucosal invasion and loss of glandular pattern. Conversely, Notch-activated Apcmin adenomas showed a reversion from high-grade to low-grade features, such as the restoration of adherent junctions. Expression profiling revealed that Notch signaling promotes the differentiation of tumor cells with down regulation of Wnt/beta-catenin target genes and inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Comparison of mouse and human expression profiles also suggests the common role of Notch in inhibition of tumor progression. Interestingly, Notch signaling suppressed the expression of beta-catenin responsive genes through chromatin modification of Tcf4/beta-catenin binding sides. Our results suggest that Notch signaling has dual roles in colorectal tumorigenesis: promoting adenoma initiation, while inhibiting tumor progression to colorectal cancer. mRNAs from normal (WT, Notch-activated and Notch-inactivated) and tumor (WT, Notch-activated and Notch-inactivated) tissues were profiled.

Project description:The role of Notch signaling in the maintenance and differentiation of adult prostate stem cells remains unclear. We found that Notch ligands are mainly expressed within the basal cell lineage, while active Notch signaling is detected in both the prostate basal and luminal cell lineages. Disrupting the canonical Notch effector RBP-J impairs the differentiation of prostate basal stem cells and increases their proliferation in vitro and in vivo, but does not affect luminal cell biology. Conversely, ectopic Notch activation in adult prostates results in basal cell depletion and luminal cell hyper-proliferation. TGFβ dominates over Notch and overrides Notch ablation-induced proliferation of prostate basal cells. In turn, Notch confers positive feedback by up-regulating a plethora of TGFβ signaling components including TGFβRI. These findings reveal crucial roles of the self-enforced positive reciprocal regulatory loop between TGFβ and Notch in maintaining prostate basal stem cell dormancy. We employed an in vitro prostate sphere assay to further investigate how Notch signaling regulates basal cell proliferation and differentiation. FACS isolated adult murine prostate basal cells (using FVB mice) were cultured in the prostate sphere assay with or without N-[(3,5-Difluorophenyl)acetyl]-L-alanyl-2-phenyl]glycine-1,1-dimethylethyl ester (DAPT), an inhibitor for the γ-Secretase complex. Gene expression profiles were taken of vehicle- and DAPT-treated prostate spheres.

Project description:The most critical stage in initiation of melanoma metastasis is the radial to vertical growth transition, yet the triggers of this transition remain elusive. We introduce a novel perspective, suggesting that the microenvironment drives melanoma metastasis independently of mutation acquisition. Here we examined the changes in microenvironment that occur during melanoma radial growth. We show that direct contact of melanoma cells with the remote epidermal layer triggers vertical invasion via Notch signaling activation, the latter serving to inhibit MITF function. Briefly, within the native Notch ligand-free microenvironment, MITF, the melanocyte lineage master regulator, binds and represses miR-222/221 promoter in an RBPJK-dependent manner. However, when radial growth brings melanoma cells into contact with distal differentiated keratinocytes that express Notch ligands, the activated Notch intracellular domain impairs MITF binding to miR-222/221 promoter. This de-repression of miR-222/221 expression triggers initiation of invasion. Our findings may direct novel prevention opportunities via targeting specific microenvironment. Two replicates of Notch-activated cells that were seeded on Delta-like-1 (DLL1) (2 ng/µl ) coated plates were compared to two replicates of cells without Notch activation. The goal of this experiment is to evaluate the changes of miRs expression in melanoma cells upon Notch signaling activation.
