Project description:Myopalladin (MYPN) is a striated muscle-specific protein located in the Z-line and I-band of the sarcomere as well as the nucleus. Analysis of MYPN knockout (MKO) mice showed a 48% reduction in myofiber cross-sectional area in MKO mice and a consequent reduction in isometric force generation and power output. Similarly, reduced myotube width was observed in MKO primary myoblast cultures. RNA-Seq studies revealed downregulation of serum response factor (SRF)-target genes in MKO mice, important for muscle growth and differentiation, and further studies revealed that MYPN, like its homologue PALLD, can bind and bundle filamentous actin as well as interact with MRTF-A, both major players in the regulation of the SRF pathway. Consistently, MYPN increased MRTF-A-mediated activation of SRF signaling in myogenic cells, and transduction of MKO myoblasts with constitutive active SRF rescued the reduced myotube width, demonstrating that MYPN promotes skeletal muscle growth through activation of the SRF pathway.

Project description:Chemokine signaling is important for the seeding of different sites by hematopoietic stem cells during development. Serum Response Factor (SRF) controls multiple genes governing adhesion and migration, mainly by recruiting members of the Myocardin-Related Transcription Factor (MRTF) family of G-actin regulated cofactors. We used vav-iCre to inactivate MRTF-SRF signaling early during hematopoietic development. In both Srf- and Mrtf-deleted animals, hematopoiesis in fetal liver and spleen is intact, but does not become established in fetal bone marrow. Srf-null HSC/Ps (hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells) fail to effectively engraft in transplantation experiments, exhibiting normal proximal signaling responses to SDF-1, but reduced adhesiveness, F-actin assembly, and reduced motility. Srf-null HSC/Ps fail to polarise in response to SDF-1, and cannot migrate through restrictive membrane pores to SDF-1 or Scf in vitro. Mrtf-null HSC/Ps were also defective in chemotactic responses to SDF-1. MRTF-SRF signaling is thus critical for the response to chemokine signaling during hematopoietic development.

Project description:Our study investigates the effects of cell adhesion and traction forces on reprogramming by utilizing a human fibroblast cell line (hiF-T) that can be reprogrammed by activating the expression of an OKSM (OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, C-MYC) gene cassette through the addition of doxycycline. We performed RNA interference experiments on 103 genes found in the ‘adhesome’ (encoding integrins, cadherins, and associated proteins) that are expressed and dynamically regulated (6-fold or more) across the reprogramming timeline. The impact of each shRNA on iPSC generation efficiency was assessed by immunostaining for TRA-1-60, a known pluripotency marker. From this RNAi screen, we identified the SHROOM3 knockdown as a potent reprogramming efficiency enhancer and generated RNA-seq timelines throughout reprogramming with or without shRNAs targeting SHROOM3 or a LacZ control. Gene co-expression network analysis highlights the existence of a critical state transition regulated through a SHROOM3-SRF signaling axis during late reprogramming, which coincides with cell-mediated force generation. Taken together, our data suggest that adhesome gene expression acts as a significant impediment to somatic cell reprogramming through the activation of mechano-signaling pathways associated with cell traction forces. These results provide important new insights into the role of cell adhesion and force generation during reprogramming to pluripotency and somatic cell fate transitions more broadly.

Project description:To control transcription, SRF recruits signal-regulated co-activators, the Ternary Complex Factors (TCFs) and the Myocardin-related Transcription Factors (MRTFs), which compete for a common site on its DNA-binding domain. The TCFs - SAP-1, Elk-1 and Net - are Ets proteins that link SRF activity to Ras-ERK signalling. In contrast, the two MRTFs, MRTF-A and MRTF-B, link SRF activity to Rho-actin signalling. In this novel signalling pathway, the actin-binding MRTF RPEL domain acts as a G-actin sensor, controlling MRTF nuclear accumulation in response to signal-induced depletion of the G-actin pool. Previous studies have suggested that the Ras-ERK signalling and Rho-actin pathways control specific subsets of SRF target genes. We used ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to analyse the immediate-early transcriptional response in NIH3T3 fibroblasts, using pathway-specific inhibitors to identify the contributions of Ras-ERK and Rho-actin signalling Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) in NIH3T3 fibroblast after serum stimulation in presence or absence of LatrunculinB or U0126 drugs and using antibodies against SRF, MRTF-A, MRTF-B, SAP1, ELK1, NET, Pol II, PolII S5P, PolII S2P and total H3.

Project description:Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix occurs through integrin-mediated focal adhesions, which sense the mechanical properties of the substrate and impact cellular functions such as cell migration. Mechanotransduction at focal adhesions affects the actomyosin network and contributes to cell migration. Despite being key players in cell adhesion and migration, the role of microtubules in mechanotransduction has been overlooked. Here, we show that substrate rigidity increases microtubule acetylation through β1 integrin signalling in primary rat astrocytes. Moreover, αTAT1, the enzyme responsible for microtubule acetylation, interacts with a major mechanosensing focal adhesion protein, Talin, and is able to tune the distribution of focal adhesions depending on the matrix rigidity. αTAT1 also reorganises the actomyosin network, increases traction force generation and cell migration speed on stiff substrates. Mechanistically, acetylation of microtubules promotes the release of microtubule-associated RhoGEF, GEF-H1 into the cytoplasm, which then leads to RhoA activation and high actomyosin contractility. Thus, we propose a novel feedback loop involving a crosstalk between microtubules and actin in mechanotransduction at focal adhesions whereby, cells sense the rigidity of the substrate through integrin-mediated adhesions, modulate their levels of microtubule acetylation, which then controls the actomyosin cytoskeleton and force transmission on the substrate to promote mechanosensitive cell migration.

Project description:The composition and stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment that surrounds Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) stem cells dictates transcriptional programming, thereby affecting stem cell lineage decision-making. Cells sense force between themselves and their microenvironment controlling the capability of MSCs to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes and chondrocytes. Force sensing is transmitted by integrin receptors and their associated adhesion signalling complexes. To identify regulators of MSC force sensing we sought to catalogue MSC adhesion complex composition. Therefore we isolated integrin-associated adhesion complexes formed in MSCs plated on the ECM ligand fibronectin. We identifed proteins using mass spectrometry that define a MSC specific subset of adhesion complex proteins consisting of key linkages to the actin cytoskeleton together with integrin signalling and force sensing components.

Project description:Serum response factor (SRF) is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor that is essential for brain development and function. SRF activity is controlled by two competing classes of coactivators, myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTF) and ternary complex factors, which introduce specificity into gene expression programs. Here, we explored the MRTF-mediated regulatory mechanism in mouse cortical neurons. Using gene-reporter assays and pharmacological and genetic approaches in isolated mouse cortical neurons, we found that cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) repressed neuronal MRTF-SRF activity. CAP1 promoted cytosolic retention of MRTF by controlling cytosolic G-actin levels that required its helical folded domain and its CARP domain. This function of CAP1 was not redundant with that of its homolog CAP2 and was independent of cofilin1 and actin-depolymerizing factor. Deep RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry in cerebral cortex lysates from CAP1 knockout (CAP1-KO) mice supported the in vivo relevance for the CAP1-actin-MRTF-SRF signalling axis. Our study identified CAP1 as a repressor of neuronal gene expression and led to the identification of likely MRTF-SRF target genes in the developing cerebral cortex, whose dysregulation may contribute to impaired formation of neuronal networks in CAP1-KO mice. Together with our previous studies that implicated CAP1 in actin dynamics in axonal growth cones or excitatory synapses, we established CAP1 as a crucial actin regulator in neurons.

Project description:The effect of short term (24h and 48h) silencing of MASTL for total transcriptome was studied in human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase-like (MASTL) is a mitosis-accelerating kinase with emerging roles in cancer progression. However, possible cell cycle–independent mechanisms behind its oncogenicity remain ambiguous. Here, we identify MASTL as an activator of cell contractility and MRTF-A/SRF (myocardin-related transcription factor A/serum response factor) signaling. Depletion of MASTL increased cell spreading while reducing contractile actin stress fibers in normal and breast cancer cells and strongly impairing breast cancer cell motility and invasion. Transcriptome and proteome profiling revealed MASTL-regulated genes implicated in cell movement and actomyosin contraction, including Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 (GEF-H1, ARHGEF2) and MRTF-A target genes tropomyosin 4.2 (TPM4), vinculin (VCL), and nonmuscle myosin IIB (NM-2B, MYH10). Mechanistically, MASTL associated with MRTF-A and increased its nuclear retention and transcriptional activity. Importantly, MASTL kinase activity was not required for regulation of cell spreading or MRTF-A/SRF transcriptional activity. Taken together, we present a previously unknown kinase-independent role for MASTL as a regulator of cell adhesion, contractility, and MRTF-A/SRF activity.
