Analysis of the Heat Shock Response in Mouse Liver Reveals Transcriptional Dependence on the Nuclear Receptor PPARÎ±

ABSTRACT: The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARÎ±) regulates responses to chemical or physical stress in part by altering expression of genes involved in proteome maintenance. Many of these genes are also transcriptionally regulated by heat shock (HS) through activation by HS factor-1 (HSF1). We hypothesized that there are interactions on a genetic level between PPARÎ± and the HS response mediated by HSF1. Wild-type and PPARÎ±-null mice were exposed to HS, the PPARÎ± agonist WY-14,643 (WY), or both; gene and protein expression was examined in the livers of the mice 4 or 24 hrs after HS. Gene expression profiling identified a number of Hsp family members that were altered similarly in both mouse strains. However, most of the targets of HS did not overlap between strains. A subset of genes was shown by microarray and RT-PCR to be regulated by HS in a PPARÎ±-dependent manner. HS also down-regulated a large set of mitochondrial genes specifically in PPARÎ±-null mice that are known targets of PPARg co-activator 1 (PGC-1) family members. Pretreatment of PPARÎ±-null mice with WY increased expression of PGC-1b and target genes and prevented the down-regulation of the mitochondrial genes by HS. A comparison of HS genes regulated in our dataset with those identified in wild-type and HSF1-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts indicated that although many HS genes are regulated independently of both PPARÎ± and HSF1, a number require both factors for HS responsiveness. These findings demonstrate that the PPARÎ± genotype has a dramatic effect on the transcriptional targets of HS and support an expanded role for PPARÎ± in the regulation of proteome maintenance genes after exposure to diverse forms of environmental stress including HS.

Project description:HSF1 binds DNA via the DBD domain, causing gene upregulation during HS. We assessed the effect of RD-mediated phase separation on chromatin targeting of HSF1 using Cut&Tag followed by high-throughput sequencing to map genome-wide binding of LLPS-competent versus LLPS-incompetent HSF1 mutants under both HS and NHS conditions. Comparing with WT HSF1 under NHS, both WT under HS and M1 under NHS showed increased and broad binding to enhancers and distal intergenic region, with binding most enriched in expected motifs of HSF-related transcription factors. To further assess the role for IDR-induced LLPS in chromatin targeting of HSF1, we used several additional strategies. First, the treatment of 1,6-hexanediol markedly decreased chromatin occupancy both of WT under HS and M1 under NHS conditions. Second, we interrogate chromatin binding of LLPS-deficient mutant M3. Cut&Tag analysis revealed that M3 showed decreased chromatin binding compared to WT under HS and M1 under NHS. The decreased chromatin binding of M3 to chromatin was not due to the loss of its DNA binding ability, as the EMSA assay revealed that M3 was still capable of binding HSE. Instead, the decreased chromatin binding reflects the loss of inter-molecular interaction between HSF1 that holds LLPS. Furthermore, M3 in heat shocked cells shows similar reduced genomic targeting and shallow binding pattern as NHS cells . Third, the enrichment of transcriptional apparatus RNA Pol II, CYCT1, BRD4 to HSF1 target genes also depend on whether HSF1 can phase separate at these sites. Lastly, we conducted live cell single molecule imaging to evaluate chromatin binding kinetics of LLPS-deficient mutant M3 relative to WT HSF1. Measurements of single molecule displacement and diffusion coefficient showed M3 to be significantly more mobile than WT under HS, which suggests M3 was less confined within phase-separated puncta compared with LLPS-competent HSF1. Consistent with this result, super resolution imaging of M3 also showed decreased cluster formation at HSP gene foci but maintained nSBs formation. Altogether, LLPS-forming capability of HSF1 is essential for the efficient recruitment of HSF1 and transcriptional apparatus to HSP gene loci.

Project description:Heat shock response (HSR) is critical for survival of organisms undergoing proteotoxic stress. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is widely believed to be the master regulator of this response. Here, we examined the kinetics of the transcriptional response and HSF1 binding changes genome-wide after heat shock (HS) with high sensitivity and high spatial and temporal resolution using PRO-seq and ChIP-seq assays respectively in wild type and in hsf1-deletion mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The transcriptional response is rapid, dynamic, and extensive with activation of several hundred genes and repression of several thousands of genes. Although HSF1 is critically required for classical inducible Heat Shock Protein (HSP) genes, it is not required for the majority of gene activation. HSF1 acts mechanistically to promote RNA polymerase II (Pol II) release from the promoter-proximal pause, while recruitment and initiation of Pol II are predominantly HSF1-independent. Surprisingly, a major class of cytoskeleton genes is immediately (within 2.5 minutes) and transiently activated in an HSF1-independent manner. A second wave of regulation is characterized by robust activation or repression of new sets of genes. The broad repression of thousands of genes, a quarter of which are repressed immediately upon HS and the rest are repressed in the second wave of regulation, is mediated at the level of decreasing Pol II pause release and not at prior steps of Pol II recruitment or initiation. Notably, heat shock does not induce transcription of some previously defined HSP genes, and HSF2 â a homolog of HSF1 â does not compensate for the lack of HSF1. Together, these findings indicate that mammalian cells cope with stress by rapidly inducing pervasive and dramatic changes in transcription that are largely modulated at the step of pause release, and only a fraction of this regulation is HSF1-dependent.

Project description:PPARÎ± is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of nutrient metabolism and inflammation. Although much is already known about the function of PPARÎ± in hepatic lipid metabolism, many PPARÎ±-dependent pathways and genes have yet to be discovered. In order to obtain an overview of PPARÎ±-regulated genes relevant to lipid metabolism, and to probe for novel candidate PPARÎ± target genes, livers from several animal studies in which PPARÎ± was activated and/or disabled were analyzed by Affymetrix GeneChips. Numerous novel PPARÎ±-regulated genes relevant to lipid metabolism were identified. Out of this set of genes, eight genes were singled out for study of PPARÎ±-dependent regulation in mouse liver and in mouse, rat, and human primary hepatocytes, including thioredoxin interacting protein (Txnip), electron-transferring-flavoprotein Î² polypeptide (Etfb), electron-transferring-flavoprotein dehydrogenase (Etfdh), phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (Pctp), endothelial lipase (EL, Lipg), adipose triglyceride lipase (Pnpla2), hormone-sensitive lipase (Lipe), and monoglyceride lipase (Mgll). Using an in silico screening approach, one or more PPAR response elements (PPREs) were identified in each of these genes. Since Pnpla2, Lipe, and Mgll contribute to hepatic triglyceride hydrolysis, gene regulation was studied under conditions of elevated hepatic lipids. In wild-type mice fed a high fat diet, the decrease in hepatic lipids following treatment with the PPARÎ± agonist Wy14643 was paralleled by significant up-regulation of Pnpla2, Lipe, and Mgll, suggesting that induction of triglyceride hydrolysis may contribute to the anti-steatotic role of PPARÎ±. Our study illustrates the power of transcriptional profiling to uncover novel PPARÎ±-regulated genes and pathways in liver. Experiment Overall Design: 3-5 months old male pure bred wild-type (129S1/SvImJ) and PPARÎ±-null (129S4/SvJae) mice were used. Experiment Overall Design: Fed mice were killed at the end of the dark cycle (wild-type and PPARÎ±-null mice; n=5 per group), mice were fasted for 24h before sacrifice (wild-type and PPARÎ±-null mice; n=5 per group). Liver total RNA of pooled samples (within groups) was hybridized onto Affymetrix MOE430A GeneChip arrays. Experiment Overall Design: Five microgram total RNA was labelled according to the ENZO-protocol, fragmented and hybridized according to Affymetrix's protocols.
