Project description:Cellular responses require temporally concerted transcriptional regulation of multiple genes. A single-input-module motif with one transcription factor regulating multiple target genes can generate the coordinated gene expression. In eukaryotic cells, the local environment of a gene characterized by histone modifications, DNA methylations, and the three-dimensional chromosome structure also regulates its transcriptional activity. To examine how the local environment and transcriptional factor regulation is coupled, we performed combined analysis of time-course RNA-seq data of TGF-β treated MCF10A cells and corresponding epigenome and Hi-C data. We discovered, genes co-regulated by a common transcription factor has tendency to be close both in the linear DNA sequence and spatially. Specifically, we identified local spatial organization of over a hundred of AP1-regulated genes, and competition between hetero- and homo-dimeric AP1 fine-tunes the complex structure leading to differential expression of downstream genes sharing similar local environment. We suggest this spatial organization as a general regulation principle.

Project description:Complex multicellular organisms have evolved numerous cell types with many different functions. Comparative transcriptomic data yields valuable insights into cell type, tissue, and organ evolution. However, interpreting this data requires understanding how transcriptomes evolve. A particularly difficult problem is that cell type transcriptomes may not evolve independently, a key assumption of most evolutionary analyses. Non-independence of cell types can occur when cell types share regulatory mechanisms. This leads to concerted evolution in gene expression across different cell types, confounding efforts to unravel the history of cell type evolution, and identify cell type-specific patterns of expression. Here we present a statistical model to estimate the level of concerted transcriptome evolution and apply it to published and new data. The results indicate that tissues undergo pervasive concerted evolution in gene expression. Tissues related by morphology or developmental lineage exhibit higher levels of concerted evolution. Concerted evolution also causes tissues from the same species to be more similar in gene expression to each other than to homologous tissues in another species. This result may explain why some tissue transcriptomes cluster by species rather than homology. Our analysis of bird skin appendages data suggests levels of concerted evolution also varies with phylogenetic age of the tissue. Our study illustrates the importance of accounting for concerted evolution when interpreting comparative transcriptome data, and should serve as a foundation for future investigations of cell type evolution.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major stromal cell type within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a key cytokine in the TME that activates CAFs, which alters their ability to remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM) and changes their secretome profile. However, the effects of TGF-β-activated CAF-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) on the TME, and how TGF-β-induced CAF activation influences the composition of EV cargo and remodels the TME remain largely unexplored. In this study, we reveal the altered protein composition and function of EVs derived from TGF-β-activated CAFs compared to those derived from non-activated CAF-derived EVs. Notably, several proteins that are significantly upregulated in TGF-β-activated CAF-derived EVs (TGF-β-EVs) are found on the surface of these EVs. One such protein is tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6 protein (TSG6), which interacts with its receptor CD44 on the EVs and hyaluronan. These surface-associated proteins facilitate the docking of EVs to cell membrane by binding to transmembrane cell surface receptors. The elevated TSG6 on EV surface promotes the clustering of the co-receptor CD44, and TGF-β type I receptor (TGFBR1) on recipient cells, and thereby enhancing TGF-β receptor signaling. Consequently, TGF-β-EVs further activate CAFs and contribute to the immunosuppression of CD8+ T cells, which facilitates cancer progression. Overall, our findings reveal the effect of CAF-derived EVs on other cell types in TME in a contact-dependent manner, and suggest a potential universal mechanism by which EV surface-associated proteins regulate cell signaling by interacting with and clustering cell receptors, particularly in cells with low EV uptake.

Project description:Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS) is a multisystemic connective tissue disorder, with considerable clinical overlap with Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndromes. These syndromes have commonly been associated with enhanced TGF-β signaling. In SGS patients, heterozygous point mutations have been mapped to the transcriptional corepressor SKI, which is a negative regulator of TGF-β signaling that is rapidly degraded upon ligand stimulation. The molecular consequences of these mutations, however, are not understood. Here we use a combination of structural biology, genome editing and biochemistry to show that SGS mutations in SKI abolish its binding to phosphorylated SMAD2 and SMAD3. This results in stabilization of SKI and consequently attenuation of TGF-β responses, in both knockin cells expressing an SGS mutation, and in fibroblasts from SGS patients. Thus, we reveal that SGS is associated with an attenuation of TGF-β-induced transcriptional responses, and not enhancement, which has important implications for other Marfan-related syndromes.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to clarify the possible mechanism of common carp brain injury after exposure to lead through transcriptome analysis. Transcriptome analysis showed that 2141 differentially expressed genes were identified. Among these, 502 genes were up-regulated and 1639 genes were down-regulated. Meanwhile, GO enrichment analysis showed Transport, biological_process, DNA-templated (regulation of transcription) and signal transduction contained the most differential genes in the biological process. Furthermore, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed Ion channels, GnRH signaling pathway, cell adhesion molecules, Wnt signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway were significantly enriched. In addition, 10 differentially expressed genes were selected for qRT-PCR detection, and the results demonstrated that the selected genes exhibited the same trends with the RNA-Seq results, which indicates the transcriptome sequencing data is reliable. In conclusion, the above results provide a theoretical basis for clarifying the relationship between lead exposure and brain injury in common carp and for further studying of the genes related to lead poisoning.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy with high mortality due to a lack of effective therapies. HCC represents a collection of highly heterogeneous tumor types but a general molecular classification of HCC is lacking. Here, we define three molecular subtypes of HCC that are observed across various independent patient cohorts and profiling platforms. Analysis of the expression signatures indicates that a limited number of pathways and processes drive the clustering of these subtypes. Notably, TGF-beta signaling is a critical factor that distinguishes two subtypes of high-grade tumors, and is associated with early tumor recurrence. Furthermore, both bioinformatics and functional analyses reveal molecular crosstalk between TGF-beta and WNT signaling pathways. These findings suggest that TGF-beta plays a critical role in a subclass of HCC tumors and may enhance WNT pathway activation in the absence of activating mutations in canonical pathway components. This study is an example of how robust molecular subclassification can be used to interrogate molecular abnormalities in the context of human cancer. Experiment Overall Design: Four hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line samples treated or untreated by TGF-beta
