Differential pancreatic islet global gene expression in young heterozygous Men1 mice and wildtype littermates

ABSTRACT: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Tumor Syndrome type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant tumor syndrome affecting individuals with a heterozygous germline mutaion of the MEN1 gene. MEN 1 carriers commonly develop parathyroid, anterior pituitary, duodenal and pancreatic endocrine tumors. The phenotype of existing mouse models for the MEN 1 syndrome, with a germline heterozygous (hz) Men1 gene inactivation, show close resemblance to the human MEN 1 syndrome. Menin, the protein encoded for by the MEN1/Men1 gene, lacks homology with known proteins, and evidence of its involvement in different cellular processes is steadily growing. Several interaction partners have been identified, involving different interaction sites on the menin protein. Accumulating evidence suggests a role for menin in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, apoptosis, chromatin modification and DNA damage response and repair. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the MEN1 gene precedes tumor formation in the MEN 1 heterozygous pancreas. We set out to determine if there is a change in gene expression early on in the hz islet, as compared with islets in wildtype (wt) littermates, long before the LOH events occur. We performed a global mRNA expression microarray on islets from young, five-week-old, hz Men1 mice and their wt littermates, and we have subsequently corroborated a subset of the findings on the qPCR and protein level. Islets were isolated and RNA prepared from five five-week-old female mice heterozygous for the Men1 gene and five female wildtype littermates, and then a global gene expression microarray was performed.

Expression data from Men1 knockout MEFs

Project description:Multiple endocrine neoplasia type1 (MEN1), an inherited autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by the development of endocrine tumors including NETs, results from mutation in the MEN1 gene that encodes the protein menin. In mouse models, heterozygous loss of Men1 leads to multiple endocrine tumors with loss of heterozygocity at the Men1 locus. Men1 interacts with several partners to regulate cellular processes and gene expression through regulating histone modification. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression change in Men1 knockout MEFs and identified up-regulated genes during this process.

A cDNA microarray analysis was performed on HepG2 or L-02 cells with either vectors or constructs expressing MEN1

Project description:Menin, the product of the MEN1 gene in humans (Men1 in mice), is responsible for the inherited tumor syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). menin interacts with the trithorax group (trxG) proteins (Drosophila) and the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) (humans) histone methyltransferase (HMTase) complex, and it alters histone tail modifications and the transcription of target genes. To explore a potential functional implication of menin in HCC, we stably transfected HepG2 or L-02 cells with either vectors or constructs expressing MEN1. A cDNA microarray analysis was performed on HepG2 or L-02 cells with either vectors or constructs expressing MEN1. To obtain a broader understanding of the molecular network of menin in HCC, the whole genome microarray expression profiling was performed on HepG2 or L-02 cells with either vectors or constructs expressing MEN1. Comparison of gene expression results from HepG2 or L-02 cells with either vectors or constructs expressing MEN1.

NHGRI Menin ChIP-Chip

Project description:Multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) is a familial cancer syndrome characterized primarily by tumors of multiple endocrine glands. The gene for MEN1 encodes a ubiquitously expressed tumor suppressor protein called menin. Menin was recently shown to interact with several components of a trithorax family histone methyltransferase complex including ASH2, Rbbp5, WDR5, and the leukemia proto-oncoprotein MLL. To elucidate menin's role as a tumor suppressor and gain insights into the endocrine-specific tumor phenotype in MEN1, we mapped the genomic binding sites of menin, MLL1, and Rbbp5, to approximately 20,000 promoters in HeLa S3, HepG2, and pancreatic islet cells using the strategy of chromatin-immunoprecipitation coupled with microarray analysis. We found that menin, MLL1, and Rbbp5 localize to the promoters of thousands of human genes but do not always bind together. These data suggest that menin functions as a general regulator of transcription. Keywords: ChIP/chip NHGRI Menin ChIP-Chip

Genome-wide characterization of menin-dependent H3K4me3 reveals a specific role for menin in the regulation of genes implicated in MEN1-like tumors (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Inactivating mutations in the MEN1 gene predisposing to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome can also cause sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. MEN1 encodes menin, a subunit of MLL1/MLL2-containing histone methyltransferase complexes that trimethylate histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3). The importance of menin-dependent H3K4me3 in normal and transformed pancreatic endocrine cells is unclear. To study the role of menin-dependent H3K4me3, we performed in vitro differentiation of wild-type as well as menin-null mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) into pancreatic islet-like endocrine cells (PILECs). Gene expression analysis and genome-wide H3K4me3 ChIP-Seq profiling in wild-type and menin-null mESCs and PILECs revealed menin-dependent H3K4me3 at the imprinted Dlk1-Meg3 locus in mESCs, and all four Hox loci in differentiated PILECs. Specific and significant loss of H3K4me3 and gene expression was observed for genes within the imprinted Dlk1-Meg3 locus in menin-null mESCs and the Hox loci in menin-null PILECs. Given that the reduced expression of genes within the DLK1-MEG3 locus and the HOX loci is associated with MEN1-like sporadic tumors, our data suggests a possible role for menin-dependent H3K4me3 at these genes in the initiation and progression of sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. Furthermore, our investigation also demonstrates that menin-null mESCs can be differentiated in vitro into islet-like endocrine cells, underscoring the utility of menin-null mESC-derived specialized cell types for genome-wide high-throughput studies. Genome-wide mapping of H3K4me3 and microarray gene expression profiling in TC-1 wild-type (WT) mESCs, menin-null (Men1-ko) mESCs (3.2N), pancreatic islet-like endocrine cells (PILECs) derived from WT mESCs, and PILECs derived from Men1-ko mESCs.

Expression data from pancreatic islets from Men1flf RIP-Cre mice, Rbp2flf RIP-Cre mice, Men1flf Rbp2flf RIP-Cre mice and matched control.

Project description:The menin tumor suppressor protein (Men1) is deficient in many endocrine tumors and forms an active complex with MLL family histone methyltransferases. This Men1 complex promotes histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation at target loci including homeobox genes and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor genes. The loss of Men1 may be tumorigenic because it leads to decreased histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation resulting in expressional changes of specific genes. Reversing tumorigenesis induced by a Men1 deficiency might be achieved by inhibition of histone H3 lysine 4 demethylase Rbp2 (Kdm5a). To this end, pancreatic islets from Men1f|f, Rbp2f|f and Men1f|f Rbp2f|f mice were expression profiled to determine what transcriptional changes induced by a Men1 deficiency are reversed by the loss of Rpb2. Pancreatic islets were isolated from Men1flf RIP-Cre mice, Rbp2flf RIP-Cre mice, Men1flf Rbp2flf RIP-Cre mice and two month old matched control mice. Total mRNA was extracted from islets and expression profiled on microarrays.

Loss of MEN1 activates DNMT1 implicating DNA hypermethylation as a driver of MEN1 tumorigenesis

Project description:Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is the result of mutations in the MEN1 gene and results in tumor formation via mechanisms that are not well understood. Using a novel genome-wide methylation analysis, we studied tissues from patients with MEN1-parathyroid tumors, tissues from Men1 knockout (KO) mouse models, and mouse Men1 null mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell lines. Tissues from KO mice were used to confirm and assess the findings from the MEN1 clinical samples and further explore the molecular mechanisms of global epigenetic changes following the inactivation of menin. We demonstrated that the inactivation of menin results in enhanced activity of DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) by retinoblastoma-binding protein 5 (Rbbp5) activation in MEN1 tumor tissues. The increased activity of DNMT1 mediated global DNA hypermethylation, which in turn resulted in aberrant activation of the Wnt/Î²-catenin signaling pathway through inactivation of Sox regulatory genes. Our study provides important insights into the possible regulatory role of menin in DNA methylation and its impact on the pathogenesis of MEN1 tumor development. Global DNA methylation in tissues from patients with MEN1-parathyroid tumors. Thirty-eight human parathyroid specimens were used: 13 sporadic (non-MEN1) parathyroid adenomas, 12 MEN1-parathyroid tumors, 4 parathyroid carcinomas, and 9 normal parathyroids.

Menin deficiency induces autism-like behaviors by regulating Foxg1 transcription and participates in Foxg1-related encephalopathy

Project description:FOXG1 syndrome is a developmental encephalopathy with a high phenotypic variability, which results from FOXG1 mutations. However, the upstream transcriptional regulation of Foxg1 expression remains unclear. Here we report that both deficiency and overexpression of Men1 (protein: menin, a pathogenic gene of MEN1 syndrome) result in autism-like behaviors, including social defects, increased repetitive behaviors and cognition impairments. We employed multifaceted transcriptome analyses and found that Foxg1 signaling is mostly altered in Men1 deficiency mice, through its regulation over Alpha Thalassemia/Mental Retardation Syndrome X-Linked (Atrx) factor. Atrx recruits menin to bind to the transcriptional start region of Foxg1 and mediates the regulation of Foxg1 expression by H3K4me3 modification. Notably, the described changes in menin deficient mice were rescued by over-expression of Foxg1, leading to normalized spine growth and hippocampal synaptic plasticity. Collectively, these results indicate a putative role of menin in maintaining Foxg1 expression, and menin signaling may serve as Foxg1-related encephalopathy therapeutic targets.
