Project description:Fibrosis, characterized by sustained activation of myofibroblasts and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is known to be associated with chronic inflammation. RIPK3, a key kinase mediating TNF-driven necroptosis signaling, is upregulated in fibrosis and contributes to the TNF-mediated inflammation. In biliary duct ligation-induced liver fibrosis, we found that myofibroblasts are the major cell type expressing RIPK3. Genetic ablation of b1 integrins, the major profibrotic ECM receptors in fibroblasts, not only abolished ECM fibrillogenesis but also blunted RIPK3 expression via an epigenetic mechanism mediated by the chromatin remodeling factor CHD4. While the function of CHD4 has been conventionally linked to NuRD and ChAHP complexes, we found that CHD4 potently repressed a set of genes, including Ripk3, with high locus specificity but independent of either the NuRD or ChAHP complex. Thus, our data uncover that b1 integrin intrinsically links fibrotic signaling to RIPK3-driven inflammation via a novel mode of action of CHD4.

Project description:Fibrosis due to extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion from myofibroblasts complicates many chronic liver diseases causing scarring and organ failure. Integrin-dependent interaction with scar ECM promotes profibrotic features. This microarray study was performed to clarify the role of integrin beta-1 (Itgb1) in profibrotic myofibroblasts.

Project description:Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and resultant scar play a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis. Identifying core regulators of ECM deposition may lead to urgently needed diagnostic and therapetic strategies for the disease. The transcription factor Sex determining region Y box 9 (SOX9) is actively involved in scar formation and its prevalence in patients with liver fibrosis predicts progression. In this study, transcriptomic approaches of Sox9-abrogated myofibroblasts identified >30% of genes regulated by SOX9 relate to the ECM.

Project description:Aberrant epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in pathological processes including fibrotic disorders and cancer invasion and metastasis. Alterations of the cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction also contribute to those pathological settings. However, the functional interplay between EMT and cell-ECM interaction is poorly understood. Here, we show that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, a potent mediator of inflammation, induces EMT-associated fibrosis in retinal pigment epithelial cells, and that this is regulated by hyaluronan (HA)-CD44-Moesin interaction. TNF-alpha elicits both HA synthesis and Moesin phosphorylation through protein kinase C activation, promoting binding of CD44 to the newly synthesized HA. The HA-CD44-Moesin interaction leads to cell-cell dissociation through actin remodeling and increased cellular motility associated with mesenchymal phenotype. Furthermore, we established an in vivo model of TNF-alpha-induced fibrosis in the mouse eye, and the ocular fibrosis was completely suppressed in CD44-null mice. Therefore, HA production and its interaction with CD44 plays essential role in TNF-alpha-induced-EMT, and the interference of the complex formation can be a new strategy for the fibrotic disorders. ARPE19 cell lines were treated with TGF and TNF for 6 and 42 hour. Each experiment were repeated three times. But 1hour experiment was repeated two times. For this submission, total RNA was extracted from TGF- or TNF-treated ARPE-19 cells and differential gene expression between each time point (6 and 42 hours) was determined using genechip arrays (Affymetrix, Human Genome U133).

Project description:Lineage specification of the three germ layers occurs during early embryogenesis and is critical for normal development. The nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex is a repressive chromatin modifier that plays a role in lineage commitment. However, the role of chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4), one of the core subunits of the NuRD complex, in neural lineage commitment is poorly understood. Here, we report that the CHD4/NuRD complex plays a critical role in neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We found that RNAi-mediated Chd4 knockdown suppresses neural differentiation, as did knockdown of methyl-CpG binding domain protein Mbd3, another NuRD subunit. Chd4 and Mbd3 knockdowns similarly affected changes in global gene expression during neural differentiation and up-regulated several mesendodermal genes. However, inhibition of mesendodermal genes by knocking out the master regulators of mesendodemal lineages, Brachyury and Eomes, through a CRISPR/Cas9 approach could not restore the impaired neural differentiation caused by the Chd4 knockdown, suggesting that CHD4 controls neural differentiation not by repressing other lineage differentiation processes. Notably, Chd4 knockdown increased the acetylation levels of p53, resulted in increased protein levels of p53. Double knockdown of Chd4 and p53 restored the neural differentiation rate. Furthermore, overexpression of BCL2, a downstream factor of p53, partially rescued the impaired neural differentiation caused by the Chd4 knockdown. Our findings reveal that the CHD4/NuRD complex regulates neural differentiation of ESCs by down-regulating p53.

Project description:Activity-dependent transcription influences neuronal connectivity, but the roles and mechanisms of inactivation of activity-dependent genes have remained poorly understood. Genome-wide analyses in the mouse cerebellum revealed that the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex deposits the histone variant H2A.z at promoters of activity-dependent genes, thereby triggering their inactivation. Purification of translating mRNAs from synchronously developing granule neurons (Sync-TRAP) showed that conditional knockout of the core NuRD subunit Chd4 impairs inactivation of activity-dependent genes when neurons undergo dendrite pruning. Chd4 knockout or expression of NuRD-regulated activity genes impairs dendrite pruning. Imaging of behaving mice revealed hyperresponsivity of granule neurons to sensorimotor stimuli upon Chd4 knockout. Our findings define an epigenetic mechanism that inactivates activity-dependent transcription and regulates dendrite patterning and sensorimotor encoding in the brain. One or two replicates of the histone modifications (H3K27me3 and H2A.z), total histone proteins (H2A.z and H3), and ATPase Chd4 using postnatal day 22 cerebella from wild type (WT) or Chd4 conditional knockout (cKO) mice were examined using libraries prepared with the Illumina ChIP-Seq DNA Sample Prep Kit. Four replicates of total RNA were extracted from postnatal day 27-28 cerebella from rotarod-trained or control homecage mice, or Chd4 cKO or WT mice using Trizol and reverse-transcribed with oligo-dT priming. Three replicates of immunoprecipitated Sync-TRAP RNA or the input control using postnatal day 12 Chd4 cKO or WT cerebella were purified and amplified with Ovation RNA-Seq System V2 (NuGEN). All samples were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Project description:Precise control of gene expression plays fundamental roles in brain development, but the roles of chromatin regulators in neuronal connectivity have remained poorly understood. Here, we find that depletion of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation (NuRD) complex in the cerebellar cortex by in vivo RNAi in rats and conditional knockout of the core NuRD subunit Chd4 in mice profoundly impairs the establishment of granule neuron parallel fiber/Purkinje cell synapses. In RNA-Seq analyses of Chd4 conditional knockout mice, we identify a set of nearly 200 genes that are repressed by the NuRD complex in the cerebellum in vivo. Genome-wide ChIP-Seq analyses reveal that the NuRD complex selectively decommissions the promoters of NuRD-repressed genes in the cerebellum in vivo by inducing the deacetylation of histone H3K9/14 and H3K27 and demethylation of H3K4 at these genes. Importantly, temporal control of promoter decommissioning and repression of NuRD target genes upon maturation of the cerebellum requires the NuRD complex. Finally, in a targeted in vivo RNAi screen of NuRD-repressed target genes, we identify the transcription factor Nhlh1, the RNA-binding protein Elavl2, and the presynaptic regulator Cplx3 as negative regulators of presynaptic differentiation in the cerebellar cortex. Together, these findings define NuRD-dependent promoter decommissioning as a developmentally regulated programming mechanism that releases the brake on presynaptic differentiation and thereby drives synaptic connectivity in the mammalian brain. Three distinct histone modifications using postnatal day 6 or day 22 cerebella from wild type (WT) or Chd4 conditional knockout (cKO) mice were examined in duplicate using libraries prepared with the Illumina ChIP-Seq DNA Sample Prep Kit and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Project description:Hepatic fibrosis is the common end stage to a variety of chronic liver injuries and is characterized by an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), which disrupts the liver architecture and impairs liver function. The fibrous lesions are produced by myofibroblasts, which differentiate from hepatic stellate cells (HSC). The myofibroblasts transcriptional networks remain poorly characterized. Previous studies have shown that the Forkhead box F1 (FOXF1) transcription factor is expressed in HSCs and stimulates their activation during acute liver injury; however, the role of FOXF1 in the progression of hepatic fibrosis is unknown. In the present study, we generated αSMACreER;Foxf1fl/fl mice to conditionally inactivate Foxf1 in myofibroblasts during carbon tetrachloride-mediated liver fibrosis. Foxf1 deletion increased collagen depositions and disrupted liver architecture. Timp2 expression was significantly increased in Foxf1-deficient mice while MMP9 activity was reduced. RNA sequencing of purified liver myofibroblasts demonstrated that FOXF1 inhibits expression of pro-fibrotic genes, Col1α2, Col5α2, and Mmp2 in fibrotic livers and binds to active repressors located in promotors and introns of these genes. Overexpression of FOXF1 inhibits Col1a2, Col5a2, and MMP2 in primary murine HSCs in vitro. Altogether, FOXF1 prevents aberrant ECM depositions during hepatic fibrosis by repressing pro-fibrotic gene transcription in myofibroblasts and HSCs.

Project description:Histone H3K4 methylation has been linked to transcriptional activation. JARID1A (also known as RBP2 or KDM5A), a member of the JARID1 protein family, is an H3K4 demethylase, previously implicated in the regulation of transcription and differentiation. Here we show that JARID1A is physically and functionally associated with two histone deacetylase complexes. Immunoaffinity purification of JARID1A confirmed a previously described association with the SIN3B-containing HDAC complex, and revealed an association with the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex. Sucrose density gradient and sequential immunoprecipitation analyses further confirmed the stable association of JARID1A with these two HDAC complexes. JARID1A depletion led to changes in the expression of hundreds of genes, two-thirds of which were also controlled by CHD4, the NuRD catalytic subunit. Gene ontology analysis confirmed that the genes commonly regulated by both JARID1A and CHD4 were categorized as developmentally regulated genes. ChIP analyses suggested that CHD4 controls chromatin association with JARID1A and modulates H3K4 levels at the promoter and coding regions of target genes. We further demonstrated that the C. elegans homologues of JARID1 and CHD4 function in the same pathway during vulva development. Taken together, these results suggest that JARID1A and the NuRD complex cooperatively function to control developmentally regulated genes.
