Project description:The Warburg effect is one of the metabolic hallmarks of cancer cells, characterized by enhanced glycolysis even under aerobic conditions. While this physiological adaptation is associated with metastatic behavior, we still have a superficial understanding of how it affects cell motility in development and disease. Here we report that the neural crest, a migratory stem cell population in vertebrate embryos, undergoes an extensive metabolic remodeling to engage in aerobic glycolysis prior to delamination. This increase in glycolytic flux promotes Yap/Tead signaling, which directly activates the expression of a set of transcription factors to drive epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Our results demonstrate how shifts in carbon metabolism can trigger the gene regulatory circuits that control complex cell behaviors. Our findings also support the hypothesis that the Warburg effect is a tightly regulated developmental mechanism that is anomalously reactivated during tumorigenesis and metastasis.

Project description:Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) originate from the neural crest and are critical for bundling olfactory axons to the brain. Their development is vital for the migration of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-1 (GnRH-1) neurons, which are essential for puberty and fertility. OECs are of particular interest for potential treatments of central nervous system lesions, though their development is not fully understood. Our single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse embryonic nasal tissues suggests that OECs and Schwann cells share a common origin from Schwann Cell Precursors (SCPs). However, OECs and SCs have significant genetic differences. Wnt1 is highly expressed in pre-migratory neural crest cells, while Sox10 expression occurs later and is lost in most derivatives, except for nasal cartilage, SCPs, SCs, melanocytes, and OECs. Rosa26 lineage tracing revealed that the Wnt1Cre2 mouse line recombines extensively in non-neural crest-derived tissues, while Sox10 Cre more selectively recombines in neural crest derivatives. We used Sox10 Cre mice to manipulate the Yap and Taz genes in migrating neural crest cells. Our analyses showed reduced Sox10+ cells in the nasal region and alterations in gene expression of SCs, melanocytes, and OECs. However, GnRH-1 neuronal migration remained unaffected. Notably, the loss of Yap and Taz in neural crest derivatives led to significant secondary effects in olfactory structures, reducing both olfactory sensory neurons and vascularization in the vomeronasal organ (VNO). Our findings highlight the importance of the Hippo pathway in OEC development and its implications for the olfactory vasculature.

Project description:Neural crest cells are both highly migratory and significant to vertebrate organogenesis. However, the signals that regulate neural crest cell migration remain unclear. Here, we test the function of DAN, a BMP antagonist we detected by analysis of chick cranial mesoderm. Our analysis shows that, prior to neural crest cell exit from the hindbrain, DAN is expressed in the mesoderm, then it becomes absent along cell migratory pathways. Cranial neural crest and metastatic melanoma cells avoid DAN protein stripes in vitro. Addition of DAN reduces the speed of migrating cells, in vivo and in vitro respectively. In vivo loss-of-function of DAN results in enhanced neural crest cell migration by increasing speed and directionality. Computer model simulations support the hypothesis that DAN restrains cell migration by regulating cell speed. Taken together, our results identify DAN as a novel factor that inhibits uncontrolled neural crest and metastatic melanoma invasion and promotes collective migration in a manner consistent with inhibition of BMP signaling.

Project description:Heterozygous loss-of function mutations in CHD7 (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 7) lead to CHARGE syndrome, a complex developmental disorder affecting craniofacial structures, peripheral nerves and several organ systems like eyes, ears, nose and heart. Recently, it was demonstrated that CHD7 is essential for the formation of multipotent migratory neural crest cells, which migrate from the neural tube to many regions of the embryo, where they differentiate into various tissues including craniofacial and heart structures. So far only few CHD7 target genes involved in neural crest cell development have been identified and the role of CHD7 in neural crest cell guidance and the regulation of mesenchymal-epithelial transition is unknown. Therefore, we undertook a genome-wide microarray expression analysis on wild-type and CHD7 deficient (Chd7Whi/+ and Chd7Whi/Whi) mouse embryos at day 9.5, the time point of neural crest cell migration. We identified 98 genes showing greater than two fold differences in expression (log2 fold-change) and a P-value to false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 between wild-type and Chd7Whi/Whi embryos. Interestingly, many misregulated genes are involved in neural crest cell and axon guidance like semaphorins and ephrin receptors. By performing knockdown experiments for Chd7 and one of its target genes, namely semaphorin3a in Xenopus laevis embryos, we could show abnormalities in the migration of neural crest cells in vivo. Additionally, we detected non-synonymous SEMA3A variations in 3 out of 45 CHD7 negative CHARGE patients suggesting a role for SEMA3A in the pathogenesis of CHARGE syndrome. To identify genes that are affected by the absence of functional Chd7 at the time point of neural crest cell migration, the expression profiles of E9.5 wild-type, Chd7Whi/+ and Chd7Whi/Whi female mouse embryos were compared by whole-genome microarray analysis. Mouse embryos of the same sex were used to avoid sex-dependent gene expression effects. We performed microarray analysis by using the Agilent-026655 Whole Mouse Genome Microarray 4x44K v2 (Agilent) on four biological replicates from each group.

Project description:The embryonic ventral telencephalon (subpallium) gives rise to extremely diverse types of cells. Although it is known that subpallial neural progenitors possess characteristics distinct from their cortical counterparts, the mechanisms governing their lineage progression are poorly understood. Here we show that TEAD, the key DNA-binding factor of the Hippo pathway, promotes lineage progression of subpallial neural progenitors; the loss of TEAD1 and TEAD2 (TEAD1/2) during mammalian brain development expands early progenitors and reduces late progenitors uniquely in the subpallium, but not in the cortex. Importantly, this function of TEAD1/2 is independent of their canonical partners in the Hippo pathway, transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ (YAP/TAZ), as the loss of YAP/TAZ leads to the opposite phenotype—a depletion of early progenitors and increase in late progenitors. We further show that TEAD1/2 act at least in part by inhibiting Notch signaling and by cooperating with INSM1. It has been shown that orthologs of TEAD and INSM1 cooperate to regulate neuronal cell fate decisions in worms and flies. Our study reveals a remarkable evolutionary conservation of the function of this transcription factor complex during metazoan neural development.

Project description:Aberrant expression of adherens junction (AJ) proteins is frequently observed in human cancers. However, how these factors contribute to tumorigenesis is poorly understood and for some factors such as α‐catenin contradicting data has been described. Systematic analysis of TCGA expression data derived from 23 human tumor types revealed that α‐catenin was significantly reduced in some malignancies (e.g., colon adenocarcinoma), while elevated α‐catenin expression in other entities was associated with poor clinical outcome (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma; HCC). In HCC cells, α‐catenin was detectable at the membrane as well as cytoplasm where it supported tumor cell proliferation and migration. Additionally, in vivo experiments illustrated moderate oncogenic potential of α‐catenin. To identify functionally relevant binding partners of α‐catenin, BioID combined with mass spectrometry was performed. This led to the identification of cytokinesis regulator centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) as novel α‐catenin interacting protein in the cytoplasm that was stabilized by α‐catenin. Interestingly, CEP55 was highly expressed in human HCC tissues and its overexpression was transcriptionally controlled by a complex consisting of TEA domain transcription factors (TEADs), forkhead box M1 (FoxM1), and yes-associated protein (YAP). Surprisingly, CEP55 did not significantly affect HCC cell proliferation but supported migration in conjunction with α‐catenin. Together, the enrichment of pro-migratory CEP55 in HCC cells is mediated by two mechanisms: transcriptional activation via the FoxM1/TEAD/YAP as well as the cytoplasmic stabilization through interaction with the AJ protein α‐catenin.

Project description:Neural crest cells migrate extensively in vertebrate embryos to populate diverse derivatives including ganglia of the peripheral nervous system. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that tell migrating trunk neural crest cells to settle at selected sites in the embryo by ceasing migration and initiating differentiation programs.

Project description:Angiogenesis, the process by which endothelial cells (ECs) form new blood vessels from existing ones, is intimately linked to the tissue's metabolic milieu and often occurs at nutrient-deficient sites. However, ECs rely on sufficient metabolic resources to support growth and proliferation. How endothelial nutrient acquisition and usage are regulated is unknown. Here we show that these processes are dictated by YAP/TAZ-TEAD – a transcriptional module whose function is highly responsive to changes in the tissue environment. ECs lacking YAP/TAZ or their transcriptional partners, TEAD1, 2, and 4 fail to divide, resulting in stunted vascular growth in mice. Conversely, activation of TAZ, the more abundant paralogue in ECs, boosts proliferation, leading to vascular hyperplasia. We find that YAP/TAZ promote angiogenesis by fueling nutrient mTORC1 signaling. By orchestrating the transcription of a repertoire of cell-surface transporters, YAP/TAZ-TEAD stimulate the import of amino acids and other essential nutrients, thereby enabling mTORC1 pathway activation. Dissociating mTORC1 from these nutrient inputs – elicited by the loss of Rag GTPases – inhibits mTORC1 activity and prevents YAP/TAZ-dependent vascular growth. These findings define a pivotal role for YAP/TAZ-TEAD in steering endothelial mTORC1 and illustrate the essentiality of coordinated nutrient fluxes in the vasculature.
