Transcription profiling of mouse cultured fibroblasts in response to the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factorA shows mRNA stability influences the temporal order of inflammatory gene induction

ABSTRACT: The inflammatory response plays out over time in a reproducible and organized manner after an initiating stimulus. Here we showed that the genes activated in cultured mouse fibroblasts in response to the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factorÂ can be divided roughly into three groups, each with different induction kinetics. Whereas differential transcription is important in determining the grouping of these genes, differential mRNA stability also exerted strong influence in some cases overriding that of transcriptional control elements on the temporal order of gene expression. mRNA transcripts expressed early after TNF stimulation have abundant AU-rich elements in their 3'-untranslated regions whereas those expressed later are contain fewer AU-rich sequences. Thus mRNA stability and transcriptional control, two intrinsic characteristics of genes, control the kinetics of proinflammatory cytokine-induced gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: The gene expression levels were monitored in the mouse embryonic cells stimulated with TNF for 0, 0.5h, 2h and 12 hours.

Project description:The interplay between mitogenic and proinflammatory signaling pathways play key roles in determining the phenotypes and clinical outcomes of breast cancers. We have used global nuclear run-on coupled with deep sequencing to characterize the immediate transcriptional responses of MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with estradiol, TNF?, or both. In addition, we have integrated these data with chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing for estrogen receptor alpha (ER?), the pioneer factor FoxA1 and the p65 subunit of the NF-?B transcription factor. Our results indicate extensive transcriptional interplay between these two signaling pathways, which is observed for a number of classical mitogenic and proinflammatory protein-coding genes. In addition, GRO-seq has allowed us to capture the transcriptional crosstalk at the genomic locations encoding for long non-coding RNAs, a poorly characterized class of RNAs which have been shown to play important roles in cancer outcomes. The synergistic and antagonistic interplay between estrogen and TNF? signaling at the gene level is also evident in the patterns of ER? and NF-?B binding, which relocalize to new binding sites that are not occupied by either treatment alone. Interestingly, the chromatin accessibility of classical ER? binding sites is predetermined prior to estrogen treatment, whereas ER? binding sites gained upon co-treatment with TNF? require NF-?B and FoxA1 to promote chromatin accessibility de novo. Our data suggest that TNF? signaling recruits FoxA1 and NF-?B to latent ER? enhancer locations and directly impact ER? enhancer accessibility. Binding of ER? to latent enhancers upon co-treatment, results in increased enhancer transcription, target gene expression and altered cellular response. This provides a mechanistic framework for understanding the molecular basis for integration of mitogenic and proinflammatory signaling in breast cancer. Using GRO-seq and ChIP-seq (ER, FoxA1 and p65) to assay the molecular crosstalk of MCF-7 cells treated with E2, TNFa or both E2+TNFa.

Project description:Selective bromodomains inhibitors block the interaction between diverse bromodomains and extraterminal domains (BET) proteins and acetylated proteins. These inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in cancers malignancies and experimental inflammation in mouse models, but data on renal diseases are scarce. We have investigated the effect of the BET proteins inhibitor JQ1 in a mice model of unilateral ureteral obstruction. Treatment with JQ1 diminished renal damage, the presence of inflammatory cell infiltration and the upregulation of proinflammatory genes. The in vitro evaluation of JQ1 on TNF-Î± inducible genes in renal cells showed that BET inhibition modulated several biological processes, including inflammation or immune response. Moreover, gene-silencing experiments showed that BRD4 regulates several proinflammatory genes (IL-6, CCL-2 and CCL-5) and chromatin immunoprecipitation techniques demonstrated that BRD4 specifically binds to acetylated histone H3 in the promoter region of those genes. The nuclear factor-ï«B (NF-ï«B) pathway regulates renal inflammation. The RelA NF-ï«B subunit is activated by acetylation of lysine 310. In damaged kidneys and in TNF-Î±-treated renal cells, JQ1 blocked the nuclear translocation of RelA/NF-ï«B and NF-ï«B-mediated gene expression. Additionally, obstructed kidneys showed an activation of the Th17 immune response, which was diminished by JQ1 treatment. Our results demonstrate that the BET inhibition decreases renal inflammation by 3 independent mechanisms: 1) chromatin remodelling in the promoter regions of specific genes, 2) blocking NF-ï«B pathway activation, and 3) modulating the Th17 immune response. These results suggest that BET inhibitors could have important therapeutic applications in inflammatory renal diseases. HK2 cell line was treated with JQ1 or its enantiomer JQ1(-) (500nM) for 1 hour before stimulation or not with TNF-Î± (5ng/ml) for additional 3h. We analized the genes up- and down-regulated by TNF-Î± vs unstimulated cells, and further the genes downregulated or unaffected by JQ1 compared to the cells treated with the enantiomer (-) JQ1.
