Project description:Our work has shown that the transcription factor TFAP2C is upregulated in fibroblasts that generate an anisotrophic extracellular matrix. To determine what is acting downstream of TFAP2C we compared fibroblasts that had been mock transfected, or treated with a non-targeting siRNA control or siRNA against TFAP2C.

Project description:Extracellular Matrix 1(ECM1) expression is increased in multiple tumor cell lines and primary cancers. Activator protein 2C (TFAP2C) is a potent regulator of ECM1 transcription. TFAP2C may contribute to the increased ECM1 expression noted in many cancers. This is the first report identifying the minimal promoter region of the human ECM1 gene and its regulation by TFAP2C Human A375 melanoma cells were assessed for mRNA and protein expression of ECM1. A mininal promoter region for ECM1 transactivation was identified. ECM1 expression was regulated in part by TFAP2C, and in ChIP-Seq experiments, TFAP2C was found to bind directly to the ECM1 gene in A375 melanoma cells and in MCF7 breast cancer cells.

Project description:The complexity of gene regulation has created obstacles to defining mechanisms that establish the patterns of gene expression characteristic of the different clinical phenotypes of breast cancer. Transcription factor TFAP2C plays a critical role in the regulation of both estrogen receptor-alpha (ERM-NM-1) and c-ErbB2/HER2 (Her2). Herein, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation and direct sequencing (ChIP-seq) for TFAP2C in four breast cancer cell lines representing different clinical phenotypes. Comparing the genomic binding sites for TFAP2C in the various cell lines, we identified that glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) is regulated by TFAP2C through an AP-2 regulatory region in the promoter of the GPX1 gene. Knock-down of TFAP2C, but not the related factor TFAP2A, resulted in an abrogation of GPX1 expression. Selenium-dependent GPX activity correlated with endogenous GPX1 expression, and overexpression of exogenous GPX1 induced GPX activity and significantly increased resistance to tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Methylation of the CpG island encompassing the AP-2 regulatory region was identified in cell lines where TFAP2C failed to bind the GPX1 promoter and GPX1 expression was unresponsive to TFAP2C. Furthermore, in cell lines where GPX1 promoter methylation was associated with gene silencing, treatment with 5-aza-dC (an inhibitor of DNA methylation) resulted in activation of GPX1 RNA and protein expression. Methylation of the GPX1 promoter was identified in approximately 20% of primary breast cancers and a highly significant correlation between TFAP2C and GPX1 expression was confirmed when considering only those tumors with an unmethylated promoter, whereas the related factor, TFAP2A, failed to demonstrate a correlation. The results demonstrate that TFAP2C regulates the expression of GPX1, which influences the redox state and sensitivity to oxidative stress induced by peroxides. Given the established role of GPX1 in breast cancer, the results provide an important mechanism for TFAP2C to further influence oncogenesis and progression of breast carcinoma cells. 4 ChIP-Seq data for TFAP2C in human breast carcinoma cell lines MCF-7, BT-474, MDA-MB-453 and SKBR-3.

Project description:To understand the mechanism underlying the transcriptional regulation by Sox2, we analyzed genome-wide binding sites of Sox2, Tfap2c, and Cdx2 in trophoblast stem (TS) cells by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). ZHBTc4- and embryo-derived TS cell lines were maintained in the presence of FGF4 and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).

Project description:Naive and primed pluripotent human embryonic stem cells bear transcriptional similarity to pre- and post-implantation epiblast and thus constitute a developmental model for understanding the pluripotent stages in human embryo development. To identify new transcription factors that differentially regulate the unique pluripotent stages, we mapped open chromatin using ATAC-seq and found enrichment of the activator protein-2 (AP2) transcription factor binding motif at naive-specific open chromatin. We determined that the AP2 family member TFAP2C is upregulated during primed to naive reversion and becomes widespread at naive-specific enhancers. TFAP2C functions to maintain pluripotency and repress neuroectodermal differentiation during the transition from primed to naive by facilitating the opening of enhancers proximal to pluripotency factors. Additionally, we identify a previously undiscovered naive-specific POU5F1 (OCT4) enhancer enriched for TFAP2C binding. Taken together, TFAP2C establishes and maintains naive human pluripotency and regulates OCT4 expression by mechanisms that are distinct from mouse.

Project description:Our data show that Wnt and FGF signalling, and the downstream transcription factors NKX2.1 and TFAP2C, promote human alveolar or airway fate respectively. Moreover, we have functionally validated cell-cell interactions in human lung alveolar patterning. We show that Wnt signalling from differentiating fibroblasts promotes alveolar type 2 cell identity, whereas myofibroblasts secrete the Wnt inhibitor, NOTUM, providing spatial patterning. Our organoid system recapitulates key aspects of human lung development allowing mechanistic experiments to determine the underpinning molecular regulation.

Project description:The in vitro reconstitution of human germ-cell development provides a robust framework for clarifying key underlying mechanisms. Here, we explored transcription factors (TFs) that engender the germ-cell fate in their pluripotent precursors. Unexpectedly, SOX17, TFAP2C, and BLIMP1, which act under the BMP signaling and are indispensable for human primordial germ-cell-like cell (hPGCLC) specification, failed to induce hPGCLCs. In contrast, GATA3 or GATA2, immediate BMP effectors, combined with SOX17 and TFAP2C, generated hPGCLCs. GATA3/GATA2 knockouts dose-dependently impaired BMP-induced hPGCLC specification, whereas GATA3/GATA2 expression remained unaffected in SOX17, TFAP2C, or BLIMP1 knockouts. In cynomolgus monkeys, a key model for human development, GATA3, SOX17, and TFAP2C were co-expressed exclusively in early PGCs. Crucially, the TF-induced hPGCLCs acquired a hallmark of bona fide hPGCs to undergo epigenetic reprogramming and mature into oogonia/gonocytes in xenogeneic reconstituted ovaries. By uncovering a TF circuitry driving the germ line program, our study provides a paradigm for TF-based human gametogenesis.

Project description:Human primordial germ cells (hPGCs) are the first embryonic progenitors in the germ cell lineage, yet the molecular mechanisms required for hPGC formation are not well characterized. To identify regulatory regions in hPGC development, we used the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to systematically characterize regions of open chromatin in hPGCs and hPGC-like cells (hPGCLCs) differentiated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We discovered regions of open chromatin unique to hPGCs and hPGCLCs that significantly overlap with TFAP2C-bound enhancers identified in the naive ground state of pluripotency. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we show that deleting the TFAP2C-bound naive enhancer at the OCT4 locus (also called POU5F1) results in impaired OCT4 expression and a negative effect on hPGCLC identity.
