A novel mutant allele of Mta3 in the mouse: genetic analysis of roles in immunity and androgen biology

Project description:The metastasis associated (MTA) proteins, encoded in mammals by three highly similar gene paralogs, Mta1, Mta2, and Mta3, are integral components of the nucleosome remodeling deacetylase (NuRD) complex. While biochemical and molecular studies have probed the functions of the Mta gene family, genetic data in animals is less complete. Here we report the creation of a novel allele of Mta3 in which the first two coding exons, which encode the bromo-adjacent homology (BAH) domain of Mta3, are deleted. Animals homozygous for this Mta3DBAH allele are viable, fertile, and have no obvious deleterious phenotype. Exploration of the Mta3DBAH allele revealed that the Mta3 locus has an unannotated promoter located between Mta3 exons 3 and 4, which is unperturbed in the Mta3DBAH allele, which appears to drive expression of an MTA3 protein variant lacking the BAH domain. To explore the genetic relationship of this allele to the paralog Mta1, the Mta3DBAH animals were crossed to animals bearing the Mta1tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi allele, no double homozygous mutant animals were recovered, indicating synthetic lethality between these two Mta alleles. To understand the impact of the Mta3DBAH allele on functions previously described ex vivo, studies were performed to examine roles of Mta3 in the immune response and in androgen biology. Mta3DBAH homozygous animals have modest defects in B lymphocyte activation and antibody production, which could result in a selective disadvantage in a natural environment. Conditional mutation in B lymphocytes revealed selection for cells escaping deletion in post germinal center stages of antigen-dependent activation. No genetic requirements for Mta3 in androgen biology in adults were documented, but mutant animals display behavior defects consistent with altered androgen levels during early postnatal life. These studies clarify the genetic requirements for MTA proteins in mammalian development and identify specific functions for MTA3.

The effects of enzalutamide on androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms of drug resistance and castration resistance in prostate cancer, we performed proteomic sequencing on androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) and androgen-independent cells (AI) treated with enzalutamide.

Sexual dimorphism in skin immunity is mediated by androgen-ILC2-dendritic cell axis [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Males and females exhibit profound differences in immune responses and disease susceptibility. However, the factors responsible for sex differences in tissue immunity remain poorly understood. Here, we uncover a dominant role for type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in shaping sexual immune dimorphism within the skin. Mechanistically, negative regulation of ILC2 by androgens leads to a reduction in dendritic cell (DC) accumulation and activation in males, and reduced tissue immunity. Collectively, this work uncovers an androgen-ILC2-DC axis in controlling sexual immune dimorphism. Moreover, this work proposes that tissue immune set-points are defined by the dual action of sex hormones and the microbiota, with sex hormones controlling the strength of local immunity and microbiota calibrating its tone.
