Project description:Galectin-9 is overexpressed in a variety of cancers and associated with worse clinical outcome in some cancers. However, the regulators driving Galectin-9 expression are unknown. Here, we defined the transcriptional regulators and epigenetic circuitry of Galectin-9 in pediatric T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), as an example of a disease with strong Galectin-9 expression, in which higher expression was associated with lower overall survival. By performing a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we identified the transcription factors IRF1 and TFAP4 as key regulators for Galectin-9 expression by binding its regulatory elements. While IRF1 was observed exclusively on the promoter, TFAP4 binding was detected at an enhancer solely in T-ALL cells associated with higher Galectin-9 levels. Together, our results show that IRF1 is responsible and indispensable for Galectin-9 expression and TFAP4 further fine-tunes its expression. Our approach, a flow-based genome-wide CRISPR screen complemented by transcription factor binding and enhancer mapping, creates innovative opportunities for understanding and manipulating epigenetic transcriptional regulation in cancer.

Project description:Cardiac fibrosis, is a common pathophysiologic process in nearly all heart diseases, leading to cardiac dysfunction and heart failure subsequently. The transition of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) to a myofibroblast state underlies the cardiac fibrotic response, and this process is accompanied by changes in the cardiac mechanical environment. Mechanical forces play a central role in the initiation and propagation of fibrosis, resulting in further ECM deposition, crosslinking and reorganization, leading to adverse ventricular remodeling. However, the key factors regulating mechanotransduction during cardiac fibrosis remain unknown. Here we discovered that transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein 4 (Tfap4) regulates CF migration and proliferation. Further investigation revealed that Tfap4 correlates with heart disease and is significantly upregulated in the fibrotic hearts. We demonstrated that Tfap4 overexpression stimulated CF activation, whereas Tfap4 knockdown resulted in the opposite effect. In addition, we also knocked down Tfap4 in primary human CF (HCFs) with consistent results. Silence of Tfap4 by lentivirus carrying Tfap4 shRNA markedly enhanced functional improvement and scar size reduction in myocardial infarction (MI) mice. Mechanistically, we found that Tfap4 exerts pro-fibrotic function by regulating mechanical stress. Unexpectedly, we found that Tfap4 is a regulator of mechanosensors, Itga11 and Piezo2, thereby involved in mechanotransduction that acts as a bistable switch for the CF phenotypic transition associated with cardiac fibrosis. Taken together, our study revealed that Tfap4 plays an important role in cardiac fibrosis.

Project description:Many lymphoid malignancies arise from deregulated c-MYC expression in cooperation with additional genetic lesions. While many of these cooperative genetic lesions have been discovered and their functions characterised, DNA sequence data of primary patient samples suggest that many more do exist. However, the nature of their contributions to c-MYC driven lymphomagenesis have not yet been investigated. We identified TFAP4 as a potent suppressor of c-MYC driven lymphoma development in a previous genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen in primary cells in vivo. CRISPR deletion of TFAP4 in Eµ-MYC transgenic haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and transplantation of these manipulated HSPCs into lethally irradiated animals significantly accelerated c-MYC-driven lymphoma development. Interestingly, TFAP4 deficient Eµ-MYC lymphomas all arose at the pre-B cell stage of B cell development. This observation prompted us to characterise the transcriptional profile of pre-B cells from pre-leukaemic mice transplanted with Eµ-MYC/Cas9 HSPCs that had been transduced with sgRNAs targeting TFAP4. This analysis revealed that TFAP4 deletion reduced expression of several master regulators of B cell differentiation, such as Spi1, SpiB and Pax5, which are direct target genes of both TFAP4 and MYC. We therefore conclude that loss of TFAP4 leads to a block in differentiation during early B cell development, thereby accelerating c-MYC-driven lymphoma development.

Project description:Oncolytic viruses exploit common molecular changes in cancer cells, which are not present in normal cells, to target and kill cancer cells. Ras transformation and defects in type I interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral responses are known to be the major mechanisms underlying viral oncolysis. Previously, we demonstrated that oncogenic RAS/Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (Ras/MEK) activation suppresses the transcription of many IFN-inducible genes in human cancer cells, suggesting that Ras transformation underlies type I IFN defects in cancer cells. Here, we investigated how Ras/MEK downregulates IFN-induced transcription. By conducting promoter deletion analysis of IFN-inducible genes, namely guanylate-binding protein 2 and IFN gamma inducible protein 47 (Ifi47), we identified the IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) binding site as the promoter region responsible for the regulation of transcription by MEK. MEK inhibition promoted transcription of the IFN-inducible genes in wild type mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), but not in IRF1?/? MEFs, showing that IRF1 is involved in MEK-mediated downregulation of IFN-inducible genes. Furthermore, IRF1 protein expression was lower in RasV12 cells compared with vector control NIH3T3 cells, but was restored to equivalent levels by inhibition of MEK. Similarly, the restoration of IRF1 expression by MEK inhibition was observed in human cancer cells. IRF1 re-expression in human cancer cells caused cells to become resistant to infection by the oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus strain. Together, this work demonstrates that Ras/MEK activation in cancer cells downregulates transcription of IFN-inducible genes by targeting IRF1 expression, resulting in increased susceptibility to viral oncolysis. RNA was isolated from RasV12 transformed NIH/3T3 cells (RasV12 cells) treated with 20?M U0126 or 500U/ml IFN-?, or left untreated, for 6 hours, triplicate biological samples (9 samples).
