Tfe3-bound regions in naive pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells

ABSTRACT: The bHLH transcription factor Tfe3 is a powerful regulator of pluripotency and we report a genome-wide analysis of Tfe3 occupancy in mouse ES cells. Nuclear localization of Tfe3 is inhibited by a protein complex containing the tumor-suppressor Folliculin (Flcn) and we also determine Tfe3 binding sites in ES cells expressing an shRNA targeting Flcn. Specificity is controlled for by using unspecific IgGs and ES cells expressing an shRNA targeting Tfe3. ChIP-Seq profiling of Tfe3 in ES cells

Factors that sustain self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are well described. In contrast, the machinery regulating exit from pluripotency is ill defined. In a large-scale small interfering RNA (siRNA) screen, we found that knockdown of the tumor suppressors Folliculin (Flcn) and Tsc2 prevent ESC commitment. Tsc2 lies upstream of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), whereas Flcn acts downstream and in parallel. Flcn with its interaction partners Fnip1 and Fnip2 drives differentiati ...[more]

Gene expression data from FLCN-restored UOK257-2 renal cancer cells

Project description:UOK257 cell line was derived from a BHD patient. It harbors a germline mutation in FLCN (c.1285dupC) and LOH. UOK257-2 cells were generated from UOK257 cells by introducing wildtype FLCN using retrovirus. FLCN inactivation induces TFE3 transcriptional activity by increasing its nuclear localization. Thus expression microarray was used to identify the genes regulated by FLCN and TFE3. UOK257-2 cells expressing wildtype FLCN were transfected with 1) scrambled, 2) FLCN, 3) TFE3 and 4)FLCN/TFE3 siRNAs with Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent. Cells were harvested 3 days after transfection and RNAs were isolated using Trizol reagent and RNeasy Mini Kit. The genes induced by FLCN siRNA and reduced by TFE3 siRNA were chosen as a candidate genes regulated by FLCN and TFE3.

Loss of the Tumor Suppressor FLCN Promotes Breast Tumor Growth by Inducing a TFE3-Dependent Program Driving Warburg Effect and Angiogenesis

Project description:Growing tumors exist in metabolically compromised environments that require activation of multiple pathways to scavenge nutrients to support accelerated rates of growth. The FLCN tumor suppressor complex (FLCN, FNIP1, FNIP2) has been implicated in the regulation of energy homeostasis via two metabolic master kinases: AMPK and mTORC1. Loss-of-function mutations of the FLCN tumor suppressor complex have only been reported in renal tumors in patients with the rare Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. Here we reveal that FLCN, FNIP1, and FNIP2 are downregulated in many human cancers including poor prognosis invasive basal-like breast carcinomas where AMPK and TFE3 targets are activated compared to the luminal, less aggressive subtypes. We show that FLCN loss in luminal subtypes promotes tumor growth through TFE3 activation and subsequent induction of several pathways including autophagy, lysosomal biogenesis, aerobic glycolysis, and angiogenesis. Strikingly, induction of aerobic glycolysis and angiogenesis in FLCN deficient cells was dictated by the activation of PGC-1⍺/HIF-1⍺ pathway, which we show to be TFE3-dependent, directly linking TFE3 to Warburg metabolic reprogramming and angiogenesis. Thus, FLCN loss induces TFE3-dependent breast tumor growth through activation of multiple mechanisms, including previously unreported roles in aerobic glycolysis and angiogenesis. These findings could point to a general role of a deregulated FLCN/TFE3 tumor suppressor pathway in human cancers.

TFEB AND TFE3 DRIVE KIDNEY CYSTOGENESIS AND TUMORIGENESIS

Project description:Birt-Hogg-Dubè (BHD) syndrome is an inherited condition caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the tumor-suppressor protein folliculin (FLCN) and frequently associated with kidney cysts and cancer. FLCN acts as a negative regulator of TFEB and TFE3 transcription factors, master controllers of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy, by enabling their phosphorylation by the mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1). We previously showed that deletion of TFEB rescued the renal cystic phenotype of kidney-specific Flcn KO mice. Using Flcn/TFEB/TFE3 double and triple KO mice we now show that both TFEB and TFE3 contribute, in a differential and cooperative manner, to kidney cystogenesis. Importantly, silencing of either TFEB or TFE3 rescued tumorigenesis in patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) generated from a kidney tumor of a BHD patient. Furthermore, transcriptome analyses performed in transgenic mice, PDXs and patient tumor samples revealed TFEB/TFE3 downstream targets that may contribute to their tumorigenic activity. Our findings demonstrate in disease-relevant models that TFEB and TFE3 are key drivers of kidney tumorigenesis and suggest novel therapeutic strategies based on the inhibition of these transcription factors.

Chd1 regulates repair of promoter-proximal DNA breaks to sustain hypertranscription in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Stem and progenitor cells undergo a global elevation of nascent transcription, or hypertranscription, during key developmental transitions involving rapid cell proliferation. The chromatin remodeler Chd1 binds to RNA Pol I and II genes and is required for hypertranscription in embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro and the early post-implantation epiblast in vivo. Biochemically, Chd1 has been shown to facilitate transcription at least in part by removing nucleosomal barriers to elongation, but its mechanism of action in stem cells remains poorly understood. Here we report a novel role for Chd1 in the repair of promoter-proximal endogenous double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in ES cells. An unbiased proteomics approach revealed that Chd1 interacts with several DNA repair factors including ATM, Parp1, Kap1 and Topoisomerase 2. We show that wild-type ES cells display high levels of phosphorylated H2AX and Kap1 at chromatin, notably at rDNA in the nucleolus, in a Chd1-dependent manner. Loss of Chd1 leads to an extensive accumulation of DSBs at Chd1 target Pol II genes and rDNA. Genes prone to DNA breaks in Chd1-null ES cells tend to be longer genes with GC-rich promoters, a more labile nucleosomal structure and roles in chromatin organization, transcription and signaling. These results reveal a vulnerability of hypertranscribing stem cells to endogenous DNA breaks, with important implications for developmental and cancer biology.

Folliculin regulates mTORC1/2 and WNT pathways in early human pluripotency

Project description:It is important to understand how cells can maintain and exit human pluripotency. We exploited the metabolic and epigenetic differences between naïve and primed pluripotent cells to design a CRISPR-Cas9 screen for identifying genes that promote the exit from naïve pluripotency. Among the known and novel regulators of this early step of human development, we identified the tumor suppressor folliculin (FLCN). Flcn is important for implantation of the mouse embryo into the uterus and has been shown to regulate the exit of pluripotency in mouse through activation of Esrrb. However, the function of FLCN is unknown in human embryonic stem cells (hESC). Knock-out (KO) of FLCN revealed that it is not essential to maintain the naïve pluripotent state but is required for the exit of that state, in part by controlling the localization of the transcription factor TFE3. While mainly found in the cytoplasm of cells exiting the naïve state, FLCN KO resulted in TFE3 nuclear localization. TFE3 targets up-regulated in FLCN KO exit assay were members of Wnt pathway and ESRRB. Treatment of FLCN KO hESC with a Wnt inhibitor rescued the phenotype and allowed the cells to exit the naïve state. In contrast, the lack of rescue in ESRRB/FLCN double KO lines suggested that ESRRB was not responsible for the FLCN mutant phenotype. Using co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis we identified unique FLCN binding partners, in addition to known FLCN interactors, at various stages of pluripotency. The interactions of FLCN with components of the mTOR pathway (mTORC1 and mTORC2) revealed a mechanism of FLCN function during exit from naïve pluripotency.

Selective mTORC1 inhibition prevents and treats NAFLD and NASH

Project description:We find that selective inhibition of one arm of mTORC1 signaling, via deletion of FLCN, promotes activation of the transcription factor TFE3 and profoundly protects against NAFLD and NASH in mice. (1) We performed genome-wide RNA-seq on livers from Control, liver-specific Flcn-null mice (LiFKO), and Flcn/Tfe3 double knock-out (DKO) mice fed either normal chow (NC) or a NAFLD-inducing diet (AMLN). We find TFE3-mediated induction of lysosomal and mitochondrial gene programs, and also suppression of de novo lipogenesis genes. (2) To understand whether TFE3 directly affects gene expression, we performed TFE3 ChIP-seq on livers from Control and LiFKO mice on normal chow. We find TFE3 occupancy on the chromatin at lysosomal genes, Ppargc1a (a driver of mitochondrial genes), and at de novo lipogenesis genes. (3) Finally, we wanted to test whether TFE3 antagonistically competes with the pro-lipogenic transcription factor SREBP-1c on chromatin. We therefore injected HA-tagged constitutively nuclear (active) SREBP-1c (nSREBP-1c), or a control virus, into control and LiFKO mice, treated them with a NAFLD-inducing diet (FPC diet), and collected liver tissue. We consequently performed HA-nSREBP-1c and TFE3 ChIP-seq experiments and observed no evidence of antagonistic competition.
