Project description:The transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4) is essential for the survival of the plasma cell malignancy multiple myeloma (MM), although the mechanism by which this is achieved remains unknown. Here we have explored the genetic basis for IRF4 addiction through CRISPR-Cas9 genetic ablation of IRF4 across several MM cells lines. We report that IRF4 loss uniformly resulted in the upregulation of two related pro-apoptotic proteins belonging to the BH3-only subgroup of the BCL2 family: BCL2 modifying factor (BMF) and BCL2 interacting mediator of cell death (BIM). Direct IRF4 binding was identified in the proximal promoter region of both genes. Remarkably, genetic ablation of BMF alone or in combination with BIM largely prevented the cell death that follows IRF4 inactivation, establishing that IRF4 maintains MM survival through the direct transcriptional repression of BMF and BIM.

Project description:Suspension-induced cell death, or anoikis, is implicated in different stages of breast development as well as tumor progression and metastasis. The pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins BIM and BMF are known positive regulators of anoikis. We examined the gene expression changes that occur in BIM-/- BMF-/- cells during attachment and suspension. This study is supplemental to our work establishing a role for JNK in anoikis (Girnius N, Davis RJ. 2017. JNK promotes epithelial cell anoikis by transcriptional and post-translational regulation of BH3-only proteins. (2017) Cell Reports 21: 1910-1921; doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2017.10.067)

Project description:Mammalian primed pluripotent stem cells have been shown to be highly susceptible to cell death stimuli due to their low apoptotic threshold, but how this threshold is regulated remains largely unknown. Here we identify miRNA-mediated regulation as a key mechanism controlling apoptosis in the post-implantation epiblast. Moreover, we find that three miRNA families, miR-20, miR-92 and miR-302, control the mitochondrial apoptotic machinery by fine-tuning the levels of expression of the pro-apoptotic protein BIM. These families therefore represent an essential buffer needed to maintain cell survival in stem cells that are not only primed for differentiation but also for cell death. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profiles of Dicer conditional Epiblast stem cells (Dicer fx/fx EpiSCs, used as control cells) and Dicer deleted epiblast stem cells (Dicer-/- EpiSCs) five days after the induction of Dicer deletion

Three independent deletion experiments including a Dicer fx/fx sample and a Dicer -/- sample were analyzed as biological replicates.

Project description:T cells that encounter self-antigens after exiting the thymus avert autoimmunity through peripheral tolerance. Pathways for this include an unresponsive state known as anergy, clonal deletion, and T regulatory (Treg) cell induction. The transcription factor cues and kinetics that guide distinct peripheral tolerance outcomes remain unclear. Here, we found that anergic T cells are epigenetically primed for regulation by the non-classical AP-1 family member BATF. Tolerized BATF-deficient CD4+ T cells were resistant to anergy induction and instead underwent clonal deletion due to pro-apoptotic BIM (Bcl2l11) upregulation. During prolonged antigen exposure, BIM de-repression resulted in fewer PD-1+ conventional T cells as well as loss of peripherally-induced FOXP3+ Treg cells. Simultaneous Batf and Bcl2l11 knockdown meanwhile restored anergic T cell survival and Treg cell maintenance. The data identify the AP-1 nuclear factor BATF as a dominant driver of sustained T cell anergy and illustrate a mechanism for divergent peripheral tolerance fates.

Project description:Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) overdose severely damages mitochondria and triggers several apoptotic processes in hepatocytes, but the final outcome is fulminant necrotic cell death, resulting in acute liver failure and mortality. Here, we studied this switch of cell death modes and demonstrate a non-canonical role of the apoptosis-regulating BCL-2 homolog BIM/Bcl2l11 in promoting necrosis by regulating cellular bioenergetics. BIM deficiency enhanced total ATP production and shifted the bioenergetic profile towards glycolysis, resulting in persistent protection from APAP-induced liver injury. Modulation of glucose levels and deletion of mitofusins confirmed that severe APAP toxicity occurs only in cells dependent on oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolytic hepatocytes maintained elevated ATP levels and reduced ROS, which enabled lysosomal recycling of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. The present study highlights how metabolism and bioenergetics affect drug-induced liver toxicity, and identifies BIM as important regulator of glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and oxidative stress signaling.

Project description:Here we showed that SOX7 was significantly downregulated in different cancer types, especially in lung and breast cancers. Low expression of SOX7 was associated with advanced stage of cancer with shorter overall survival. Cancer cells with loss of SOX7 promoted cell survival and colony formation, suppressed cellular apoptosis and produced a drug resistant phenotype against a variety of chemo/targeting therapeutic agents. Mechanistically, SOX7 induced cellular apoptosis through upregulation of genes associated with both P38 and apoptotic signaling pathway, as well as preventing the proteasome mediated degradation of pro-apoptotic protein BIM. Treatment of either a proteasome inhibitor MG132 or bortezomib, or with a p-ERK/MEK inhibitor U0126 attenuate the SOX7 promoted BIM degradation.
