Project description:Moderate Chromatin Architectural Stress Promotes Longevity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by inhibition of TOR Signaling

Project description:Sir2 is the most intensively discussed longevity gene in current aging research. Although the gene encoding for a NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase initially was found to extend lifespan of various organisms ranging from yeast to mammals, serious doubts regarding its role in longevity have been expressed recently. In this study, we tested whether tissue-specific overexpression of Sir2 in the adult fat body can extend lifespan when compared to genetically identical controls. We also wanted to elucidate the mechanisms by which fat body Sir2 promotes longevity by studying the phenotypic and transcriptional changes in the fat body. We found that moderate (3-fold) Sir2 overexpression in the fat body during adulthood only can promote longevity in both sexes by roughly 13 %. In addition, we obtained transcriptional profiles elicited by this overexpression and propose a role for Sir2 in lipid droplet biology especially under conditions of starvation. Furthermore, our data do not support the idea of Sir2 mediating the response to dietary restriction (DR) because transcriptional profiles of fat bodies after DR or Sir2 overexpression do not match. This study provides additional independent evidence for the concept of Sir2 as a longevity gene and as a promising pharmacological target to cure age-related diseases. 6 groups of sample types were included in the experiment: a) females overexpressing Sir2 in the fat body b) female controls c) males overexpressing Sir2 in the fat body d) male controls e) wildtype females subjected to DR f) wildtype females feeding on a normal diet. 3 biological replicates were included per group.

Project description:The premature aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by constitutive production of progerin, a mutant form of the nuclear architectural protein lamin A1. Progerin is also sporadically expressed in wild type cells and has been linked to physiological aging. HGPS cells exhibit extensive nuclear defects including abnormal chromatin structure and increased DNA damage. At the organismal level, HGPS affects several tissues particularly of mesenchymal origin. How the cellular defects of HGPS cells lead to the organismal defects has been unclear. To begin to unravel how progerin leads to disease phenotypes, we analyzed time-dependent changes in transcriptional profiles in response to progerin expression in a hTERT-immortalized skin fibroblast cell line expressing either GFP-progerin or the GFP-wt lamin A control Keywords: time course, cell line comparison

Project description:Chromatin dynamics enables the precise control of transcriptional programs. The balance between restricting and opening of regulatory sequences on the DNA needs to be adjusted to prevailing conditions and is fine-tuned by chromatin remodelling proteins. DEK is an evolutionarily conserved chromatin architectural protein regulating important chromatin-related processes. However, the molecular link between DEK-induced chromatin reconfigurations and upstream signalling events remains unknown. Here, we show that ASKβ/AtSK31 is a salt stress-activated Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK3) from Arabidopsis thaliana that phosphorylates DEK3. This specific phosphorylation alters nuclear DEK3 protein complex composition, affects nucleosome occupancy and chromatin accessibility that is translated into changes in gene expression, contributing to salt stress tolerance. These findings reveal that DEK3 phosphorylation is critical for chromatin function and cellular stress response and provide a mechanistic example of how GSK3-based signalling is directly linked to chromatin, facilitating a transcriptional response.

Project description:Chromosomes of metazoan organisms are partitioned in the interphase nucleus into discrete topologically associating domains (TADs). Borders between TADs are preferentially formed in regions containing high density of active genes and clusters of architectural protein binding sites. Transcription of most genes is turned off during the heat shock response in Drosophila. Here we show that temperature stress induces relocalization of architectural proteins from TAD borders to inside TADs, and this is accompanied by a dramatic rearrangement in the 3D organization of the nucleus. TAD border strength declines, allowing for an increase in long-distance inter-TAD interactions. Similar but quantitatively weaker effects are observed upon inhibition of transcription or depletion of individual architectural proteins. New heat shock-induced inter-TAD interactions result in increased contacts among enhancers and promoters of silenced genes, which recruit Pc and form Pc bodies at the nucleolus. These results suggest that the TAD organization of metazoan genomes is plastic and can be quickly reconfigured to allow new interactions between distant sequences. Analysis of the distribution of architectural proteins, chromatin proteins and histone modifications in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Cells were grown at 25 C (NT) or heat shocked for 20 min at 36.5 C (HS). Both control and reference samples are included. For some of the samples, replicates are also included.

Project description:Chromatin architectural proteins interact with nucleosomes to modulate chromatin accessibility and higher-order chromatin structure. While these proteins are almost certainly important for gene regulation they have been studied far less than the core histone proteins. Here we describe the genomic distributions and functional roles of two chromatin architectural proteins: histone H1 and the high mobility group protein HMGD1, in Drosophila S2 cells. Using ChIP-seq, biochemical and gene specific approaches, we find that HMGD1 binds to highly accessible regulatory chromatin and active promoters. In contrast, H1 is primarily associated with heterochromatic regions marked with repressive histone marks. However, the ratio of HMGD1 to H1 is better correlated with chromatin accessibility, gene expression and nucleosome spacing variation than either protein alone suggesting a competitive mechanism between these proteins. Indeed, we show that HMGD1 and H1 compensate each other’s absence by binding reciprocally to chromatin resulting in changes to nucleosome repeat length and distinct gene expression patterns. Collectively our data suggest that dynamic and mutually exclusive binding of H1 and HMGD1 to nucleosomes and linker sequences may control the fluid chromatin structure that is required for transcriptional regulation. This study thus provides a framework to further study the interplay between chromatin architectural proteins and epigenetics in gene regulation. ChIP-seq of HMGD1 and Histone H1 bound nucleosomes as well as MNase-seq of total nucleosome in Drosophila S2 cells

Project description:Alterations that perturb differentiation and cell state transitions can lead to defects in development, function and the genesis of cancer. Studying cellular plasticity at high resolution and in real time has proven difficult using existing methods. Here, we use a quantitative approach to gain insights into cell state dynamics of normal mammary epithelial cells (MECs) and validate the model's predictions in vivo. In the absence of Slug/SNAI2, basal mammary progenitor cells transition into a luminal differentiation state, while luminal progenitor cells proliferate and expand; these changes result in abnormal mammary architecture and defects in tissue function. Loss of Slug also disrupts cellular plasticity leading to defects in tissue regeneration and the initiation of cancer. Mechanistically, Slug promotes cellular plasticity by recruiting the chromatin modifier, LSD1 (lysine specific demethylase 1), to promoters of lineage specific genes to represses transcription. Together, these finding demonstrate that Slug is necessary for cellular adaptation during tissue development and regeneration, and that transitioning back into a more primitive stem-like state is a prerequisite for tumor initiation. reference x sample
