Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying asplenia, a condition often associated with overwhelming infections remain largely unknown. During spleen development, the transcription factor TLX1 controls morphogenesis and organ expansion, and loss of it causes spleen agenesis. However, the downstream signaling pathways that are deregulated in the absence of TLX1 are mostly unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that loss of Tlx1 in the splenic mesenchyme causes increased retinoic acid (RA) signaling. Increased RA activity causes premature differentiation of the splenic mesenchyme and reduced vasculogenesis of the splenic anlage. Moreover, excess or deficiency in RA signaling, as observed in Cyp26b1 or Rdh10 mutants respectively, also results in spleen growth arrest. Genome-wide analysis revealed that TLX1 binds RA-associated genes through the AP-1 site and cooperates with the AP-1 family transcription factors to regulate transcription. Pharmacological inhibition of RA signaling partially rescues the spleen defect. These findings establish the critical role of TLX1 in controlling RA metabolism, and provide novel mechanistic insights into the molecular determinants underlying congenital asplenia.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms that underlie spleen development and congenital asplenia, a condition linked to increased risk of overwhelming infections, remain largely unknown. The transcription factor TLX1 controls cell fate specification and organ expansion during spleen development, and Tlx1 deletion causes asplenia in mice. Deregulation of TLX1 expression has recently been proposed in the pathogenesis of congenital asplenia in patients carrying mutations of the gene-encoding transcription factor SF-1. Herein, we have shown that TLX1-dependent regulation of retinoic acid (RA) metabolism is critical for spleen organogenesis. In a murine model, loss of Tlx1 during formation of the splenic anlage increased RA signaling by regulating several genes involved in RA metabolism. Uncontrolled RA activity resulted in premature differentiation of mesenchymal cells and reduced vasculogenesis of the splenic primordium. Pharmacological inhibition of RA signaling in Tlx1-deficient animals partially rescued the spleen defect. Finally, spleen growth was impaired in mice lacking either cytochrome 26B1 (Cyp26b1), which results in excess RA, or retinol dehydrogenase 10 (Rdh10), which results in RA deficiency. Together, these findings establish TLX1 as a critical regulator of RA metabolism and provide mechanistic insight into the molecular determinants of human congenital asplenia. We performed ChIP-sequencing for Hox11 rep1 and rep2 in eSMC untreated cells.

Project description:Genome-wide expression studies were performed on dermal fibroblasts from Sotos syndrome patients with a confirmed NSD1 abnormality and compared with age-sex matched controls. We used microarrays to detect differentially expressed genes in Sotos syndrome patients and performed a global test with the aim to map NSD1 within a signaling transduction pathway. Dermal fibroblasts were obtained from nine Sotos syndrome patients and nine controls. Since NSD1 is a co-factor of the retinoic acid receptor, cultures were performed both in the presence and absence of retinoic acid.

Project description:The morphologic changes of neuroepithelial cells, and their interactions with surrounding cells, are fundamental to primary neurulation and are a function of several timed signaling gradients. Retinoic acid administration at fetal day E10 induces neural tube defects in 84.2% of rat pups. Negative selection using A2B5 and E-NCAM has been validated for isolation of neuroepithelial cells for culture. Here we report the isolation and analysis of the fundamental actors in primary neurulation by flow cytometry with CD147 positive selection followed by whole transcriptome analysis of this purified population via microarray enhanced with the ERCC RNA internal controls. Comparison of the gene expression in Retinoic acid exposed versus wild-type isolates shows excellent correspondence to known neural tube defect genes. Analysis of transcription factor binding sites in regulatory regions of differentially expressed genes, implicates a binding site “cross-roads” where improper signaling through a multitude of pathways could potentially elicit neural tube defects.
