Gene expression response to 5 microbial stimuli in Detroit562 cells [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: NFKB is a family of transcription factors (TF), which are master regulators of the innate immune system. It is activated downstream of pathogen recognition receptors after ligand binding and regulates the expression of antimicrobials, cytokines and chemokines, thus helping to fight infections as well as recruiting the adaptive immune system. Although NFKB responds to a wide variety of signals, the processes in which stimulus-specificity is attained are still unclear. We characterized the response of one of the NFKB members, RELA, to five stimuli mimicking infection in nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. We wanted to investigate gene expression in response to these stimuli as well, in order to relate RELA binding to differences to expression regulation. Although most RELA binding sites where common among stimulation, we distinguished a minority of stimulus-specific RELA binding sites. Interestingly, some of these seemed to have a biological effect as they correlated with corresponding gene expression. Especially, the response to Poly I:C mimicking viral dsRNA gave a distinct RELA profile binding the vicinity of antiviral genes. Some of which were overexpressed under Poly I:C stimulation specifically.

Genome-wide RELA binding sites in response to 5 microbial stimuli in Detroit562 cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:NFKB is a family of transcription factors (TF), which are master regulators of the innate immune system. It is activated downstream of pathogen recognition receptors after ligand binding and regulates the expression of antimicrobials, cytokines and chemokines, thus helping to fight infections as well as recruiting the adaptive immune system. Although NFKB responds to a wide variety of signals, the processes in which stimulus-specificity is attained are still unclear. Here, we characterized the response of one of the NFKB members, RELA, to five stimuli mimicking infection in nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. When comparing RELA genome-wide binding sites , we detected most of them to be overlapping among the different stimulations. Yet, we distinguished a minority of stimulus-specific RELA binding sites. Interestingly, some of these seemed to have a biological effect as they correlated with corresponding gene expression. Specifically, the response to Poly I:C mimicking viral dsRNA gave a distinct RELA profile binding the vicinity of antiviral genes. This group of binding sites was also enriched in Interferon Regulatory Factor motifs indicating that the interaction with more specialized TFs could contribute to stimulus-specific RELA activity. Furthermore, motif analysis revealed differences in the sequence of the NFKB motifs between certain stimulus-specific sets of peaks suggesting preferences for particular NFKB dimers in response to defined signals.

The NFkB subunit RELA is a master transcriptional regulator of the committed epithelial-mesenchymal transition in airway epithelial cells

Project description:The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a multistep dedifferentiation program important in tissue repair. Here, we examined the role of the transcriptional regulator NFkB in EMT of human primary small airway epithelial cells (hSAECs). Surprisingly, transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) activated NFkB/RELA proto-oncogene, NFkB subunit (RELA) translocation within 1 day of stimulation, yet induction of its downstream gene regulatory network occurred only after 3 days. A time course of TGFβ-induced EMT transition was analyzed by RNA-Seq in the absence or presence of inducible shRNA-mediated silencing of RELA. In WT cells, TGFβ stimulation significantly affected the expression of 2,441 genes. Gene set enrichment analysis identified Wnt, cadherin, and NFkB signaling as the most prominent TGFβ-inducible pathways. By comparison, RELA controlled expression of 3,138 overlapping genes mapping to Wnt, cadherin, and chemokine signaling pathways. Conducting upstream regulator analysis, we found that RELA controls six clusters of upstream transcription factors, many of which overlapped with a transcription factor topology map of EMT developed earlier. RELA triggered expression of three key EMT pathways: (1) the Wnt/β-catenin morphogen pathway, (2) the JUN transcription factor, and (3) the Snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAI1). RELA binding to target genes was confirmed by ChIP. Experiments independently validating Wnt dependence on RELA were performed by silencing RELA via genome editing and indicated that TGFβ-induced WNT5B expression and downstream activation of the Wnt target AXIN2 are RELA-dependent. We conclude that RELA is a master transcriptional regulator of EMT upstream of Wnt morphogen, JUN, SNAI1-ZEB1, and interleukin-6 autocrine loops.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Gene Knockout Reveals a Guardian Role of NF-kB/RelA in Maintaining the Homeostasis of Human Vascular Cells

Project description:Dysfunction of blood vessels leads to severe vasculature pathogenesis. Previous studies have demonstrated that constitutive NFkB activation results in chronic vascular inflammation, leading to various cardiovascular diseases. However, how NFkB regulates blood vessel homeostasis remains largely elusive. Here, using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, we generated RelA knockout human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and differentiated them into human vascular derivatives to study how NFkB modulates vascular cells under basal and inflammatory conditions. Multi-dimensional phenotypic assessments and transcriptomic analyses revealed that RelA deficiency affected vascular cells via modulating vascular inflammation, survival, vasculogenesis, differentiation and extracellular matrix organization in a cell type-specific manner under basal condition, and that RelA protected vascular cells against apoptosis and modulated vascular inflammatory response upon TNFa stimuli. Lastly, further evaluation of gene expression patterns in IkBa knockout vascular cells demonstrated that IkBa acted largely independent of NFkB signaling pathway. Taken together, our data reveals a protective role of NFkB/RelA in modulating human blood vessel homeostasis and maps the human vascular transcriptomic landscapes for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.

Latent enhancers unveiled by stimulation expand and adapt the available cis-regulatory repertoire (RNA-seq)

Project description:According to current models, transcription factors (TFs) activated by extracellular stimuli operate in the context of a pre-established enhancer repertoire induced and maintained by lineage-specific TFs. Here, we uncovered the existence of latent enhancers, defined as regions of the genome that in terminally differentiated cells are poorly accessible and lack the histone marks characteristic of enhancers, but readily acquire these features in response to extracellular cues. Stimulation of resting macrophages caused simultaneous binding of stimulus-activated TFs and lineage-determining TFs to these regions, enabling deposition of enhancer-specific features. Once unveiled, these enhancers did not return to a latent state even when stimulation ceased; instead, they persisted and mediated a faster and stronger response upon restimulation. We suggest that stimulus-specific expansion of the available cis-regulatory repertoire provides an epigenomic memory of the exposure to environmental agents. Poly(A) fraction of the total mRNA of resting and stimulated murine bone marrow derived macrophages was extracted and subjected to by multiparallel sequencing. Experiments carried out in untreated cells as well as in cells treated for 4hrs (IFNg, IL4, TNFa, TGFb1, IL1b, MALP2, CpG)

Transcriptional outcomes and kinetic patterning of gene expression in response to NF-κB activation [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transcription factor NF-κB regulates cellular responses to environmental cues. For many stimuli NF-κB resides only transiently in the nucleus. Consequently, time-dependent transcriptional outputs are a fundamental feature of NF-κB activation. Here we identify mechanisms that direct kinetic patterns of NF-κB-dependent gene expression and transcriptional outcomes in response to a transient NF-κB-inducing stimulus in B cells. By combining RELA binding, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment, and perturbation of NF-κB activation, we demonstrate that kinetic differences amongst early- and late-activated RELA target genes can be understood based on chromatin configuration prior to cell activation and RELA-dependent priming, respectively. Additionally, we identified genes that were repressed by RELA activation and others that responded to RELA-activated transcription factors. Cumulatively, our studies define an NF-κB-responsive inducible gene cascade in activated B cells.
