TAF15 protein regulates CDKN1A through miRNAs

ABSTRACT: TAF15 (formerly TAFII68) is a member of the TET family of RNA and DNA binding proteins whose genes are frequently translocated in sarcomas. Consistent with a functional role in cell viability, TAF15 depletion had a growth-inhibitory effect and increased apoptosis. Interestingly, one of the genes affected by TAF15 depletion is CDKN1A/p21, a key regulator of cell cycle. Here we show that TAF15 down-regulates CDKN1A/p21 expression through a pathway involving miRNAs. We performed a gene expression profiling upon TAF15 knock down by RNA interference.Total RNAs purified from four biological replicates of HeLa GL3 luc cells transfected either with si-TAF15 or control si-LUC were hybridized to the array.

TAF15 (formerly TAFII68) is a member of the FET (FUS, EWS, TAF15) family of RNA- and DNA-binding proteins whose genes are frequently translocated in sarcomas. By performing global gene expression profiling, we found that TAF15 knockdown affects the expression of a large subset of genes, of which a significant percentage is involved in cell cycle and cell death. In agreement, TAF15 depletion had a growth-inhibitory effect and resulted in increased apoptosis. Among the TAF15-regulated genes, targe ...[more]

Project description:The supply of soluble silicon (Si) to plants has been associated with many benefits that remain poorly explained and often contested. In this work, the effect of Si was studied on wheat plants under both control and pathogen stress (Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici (Bgt)) conditions by conducting an exhaustive transcriptomic analysis (55,000 genes) aimed at comparing the differential response of plants under four treatments. The response to the supply of Si on control (uninfected) plants was limited to 47 genes providing little evidence of regulation of a specific metabolic process. Plants reacted to inoculation with Bgt by an up-regulation of many genes linked to stress and metabolic processes and a down-regulation of genes linked to photosynthesis. Supplying Si to inoculated plants largely prevented disease development, a phenotypic response that translated into a nearly perfect reversal of genes regulated by the effect of Bgt alone. These results suggest that Si plays a limited role on a plantâs metabolism in absence of stress, even in the case of a high-Si accumulating monocot such as wheat. On the other hand, the benefits of Si, in the form of biotic stress alleviation, were remarkably aligned with a counter-response to transcriptomic changes induced by the pathogen Bgt. Experiment Overall Design: Wheat culture in hydroponic system : Experiment Overall Design: Hydroponic systems were used to precisely control Si feeding of plants and to reduce external Si contamination. Seeds of wheat cultivar AC Drummond, chosen for its known high susceptibility to Bgt, were sown in 9-cm pots in a nylon bed consisting of nylon stockings cut into small ribbons. Hydroponic systems were set up to immerse roots for 15 minutes every 30 minutes. The plants were grown in a greenhouse (16 h light at 22Â°C and 8h dark at 18Â°C, 80% humidity). Plants were immersed in distilled water only during the first week following sowing. Experiment Overall Design: Si amendment and Bgt inoculation: Experiment Overall Design: Wheat plants were grown in the presence (Si+) or absence (Si-) of Si and inoculated (B+) or not (B-) with Bgt for a total of four treatments: Si-B-, Si+B-, Si-B+, and Si+B+. These treatments were applied in the following manner. One week after sowing, distilled water was replaced by a Hoagland solution amended or not with potassium silicate (Kasil 6, PQ Corp etc) at a concentration of 1.7 mM (Si+ Hoagland). Twice a week, Si was added to the Si+ nutrient solution in order to maintain Si concentration at 1.7 mM. Every other week, both Si- and Si+ Hoagland solutions were renewed and the pH adjusted to 5.8 in all systems at each Si addition or nutrient solution renewal. Experiment Overall Design: Four weeks after sowing (i.e. three weeks after Si amendment started), half the plants were inoculated with Bgt as described previously. Briefly, one day prior to inoculation, reservoir wheat plants heavily infected with Bgt were gently shaken to remove old spores and to stimulate the production of fresh ones. The inoculation was performed by shaking these infected wheat plants over the experimental plants . Experiment Overall Design: RNA preparation: Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from leaves of three plants per treatment (three biological replicates) with the RNeasy plant kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Concentration and quality of RNA were assessed on a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Nanodrop, Wilmington, De, USA) and 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Palo Alto, Ca, USA). Biotin-labeled cRNAs were synthesized using MessageAmp II-Biotin Enhanced Kit (Ambion, Austin, Tx, USA) following the manufacturerâs instructions using 1 Âµg total RNA. Labelled cRNA was then fragmented using 5X Array Fragmentation Buffer supplied with the MessageAmp II-Biotin Enhanced Kit. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray hybridization: Experiment Overall Design: The labeled samples were added to an Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Wheat Genome Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA), according to the manufacturerâs instructions. The wheat chip contains probe sets representing 55,052 transcripts for all 42 chromosomes in the wheat genome. The chips were hybridized for 16 h at 45 Â°C in a rotisserie oven at 60 rpm. Following hybridization, the arrays were washed and stained in an Affymetrix Fluidics Station 450, according to the standard protocol from Affymetrix, and scanned using an Affymetrix Scanner 3000. Twelve chips were prepared and corresponded to three biological replications of each of the four treatments (Si-B-, Si+B-, Si-B+, and Si+B+).

Project description:Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves intimate interactions between the growing pollen tube and the female reproductive structure. These interactions start immediately after pollen landing on the stigma and continue during the pollen tube journey through the style and the ovary. Thus, well before fertilization, genes in the gynoecium are affected by the growing pollen tubes. Genes activated at a distance in the ovary before pollen tubes arrival represent one class of such genes. Using a global transcriptomic approach, expression profiles obtained from compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations revealed that these pollinations are perceived differently from a distance in the ovary. As the pollen tubes grew along the style, more and more genes became specific for each pollination type, although even early on when no difference could be observed in pollen tube growth rates, each pollination type already displayed its specific signature. Wounding experiments as well as methyl jasmonate treatment were also conducted to determine if transmitting tissue cell death caused by pollen tube growth in the style could also activate gene expression at distance in the ovary. Our data suggest that pollen tube growth in the style is at least partially perceived as a wounding aggression, and that a SI pollination is more akin to a wound response than the other pollination type tested, suggesting similarities in the signaling pathways controlling pollen recognition and stress responses. More importantly, our transcriptomic analysis reveals a highly specific recognition of various pollination types that is relayed from a distance to the ovary ahead of fertilization. To determine on a more global scale if interorgan communication during pollen-pistil interactions is a widespread phenomenon and does not only involve few specialized genes, we used a 7.7K cDNA microarray comprising ~6500 ovule-derived unigenes in duplicata from Solanum chacoense, a self-incompatible wild potato species (Germain et al., 2005), to conduct gene expression analyses through cDNA microarray hybridizations. Profiles obtained from compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations as well as from wounding treatments were all analyzed using the same minimal expression level critera (p < 0.05, fold change ≥± 1.5). Four independent biological replicates were produced from each time points. Ovules were collected at 6, 24 and 48 hours after each treatment and used for RNA extraction and probe preparation . compatible (SC), incompatible (SI), semi-compatible (SeC) and interspecific (IS) pollinations as well as from wounding treatments mRNA preparations were individually hybridized against unpollinated ovule mRNAs . All data was substracted from the touch control. Althought Methanol treated ovules RNA were hybridized against unpollinated ovule mRNAs from plant in closed chamber. To estimate reproducibility and to produce control data for statistical analysis, a large number of unfertilized ovules were isolated and separated between seven independent control groups. RNA from randomly selected pairs of control was hybridized on six microarrays.

Project description:The endodermal lining of the adult gastro-intestinal tract harbors stem cells that are responsible for the day-to-day regeneration of the epithelium. Stem cells residing in the pyloric glands of the stomach and in the small intestinal crypts differ in their differentiation program and in the gene repertoire that they express. Both types of stem cells have been shown to grow from single cells into 3D structures (organoids) in vitro. We show that single adult Lgr5-positive stem cells, isolated from small intestinal organoids, require Cdx2 to maintain their intestinal identity and are converted cell-autonomously into pyloric stem cells in the absence of this transcription factor. Clonal descendants of Cdx2null small intestinal stem cells enter the gastric differentiation program instead of producing intestinal derivatives. Conversely, forced expression of Cdx2 in gastric organoids results in their intestinalization. The intestinal genetic program is thus critically dependent on the single transcription factor encoding gene Cdx2. Small intestinal crypts and stomach glands were isolated from Cdx2-/fl / Lgr5-EGFP-CreERT2 mice and cultured for a week in order to generate small intestinal (SI) and stomach (Sto) in vitro organoids. The Lgr5-CreERT2 enzyme activity has been induced by overnight 4-hydroxytamoxifen induction. Tamoxifen treated and untreated Lgr5-EGFPhi SI and Sto stem cells were FACS sorted and seeded back into ENRWfg (Sto med) culture conditions in order to generate Cdx2-/fl small intestinal (Control SI), Cdx2null small intestinal (Cdx2null SI) and Cdx2-/fl stomach (Control Sto) clonal organoids. Cdx2-/fl SI organoids and Cdx2-/fl Sto organoids have been also cultured in ENR (SI med) to induce differentiation. After some passages of clonal organoid expansion, RNA was isolated from Control SI, Cdx2null SI and Control Sto Lgr5-EGFPhi FACS sorted stem cell populations and from smal intestinal and stomach organoids cultured in different conditions and hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST 1.1 arrays.
