Transcriptional network analysis in muscle reveals AP-1 as a partner of PGC-1M-NM-1 in the regulation of the hypoxic gene program [microarray: kD_AP1]

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle tissue shows an extraordinary cellular plasticity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here we use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to unravel the complex transcriptional network of muscle cell plasticity centered on the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor M-NM-3 coactivator 1M-NM-1 (PGC-1M-NM-1), a regulatory nexus in endurance training adaptation. By integrating data on genome-wide binding of PGC-1M-NM-1 and gene expression upon PGC-1M-NM-1 over-expression with comprehensive computational prediction of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs), we uncover a hitherto underestimated number of transcription factor partners involved in mediating PGC-1M-NM-1 action. In particular, principal component analysis of TFBSs at PGC-1M-NM-1 binding regions predicts that, besides the well-known role of the estrogen-related receptor M-NM-1 (ERRM-NM-1), the activator protein-1 complex (AP-1) plays a major role in regulating the PGC-1M-NM-1-controlled gene program of hypoxia response. Our findings thus reveal the complex transcriptional network of muscle cell plasticity controlled by PGC-1M-NM-1. We used microarrays to detect changes in gene expression in C2C12 cells following PGC-1alpha over-expression and either Atf3, Fos, Jun or control knockdown. We used 2 biological replicates for each condition.

Skeletal muscle tissue shows an extraordinary cellular plasticity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to unravel the complex transcriptional network of muscle cell plasticity centered on the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), a regulatory nexus in endurance training adaptation.

Project description:The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1Î±) is a chief activator of the mitochondrial and metatolic program in skeletal muscle (skm) and prevents atrophy. Here we tested whether PGC-1Î± overexpression could restructure the transcriptome and metabolism of cultured human skeletal myotubes, which display an athropic phenotype. An oligonucleotide microarray analysis was used to reveal PGC-1Î± effects on the whole transcriptome, and the possible impact on fuel metabolism reprogramming was examined. Fifty-three different genes displayed changed expression levels in response to PGC-1Î±: 42 upregulated and 11 downregulated. Main associations of gene ontologies (GO) for the upregulated genes were mitochondrial components and processes and this correlated with an increase in COX activity, an indicator of mitochondrial content. Palmitate and lactate oxidation to CO2 was enhanced, but not glucose oxidation. The other most significant GO associations of upregulated genes were chemotaxis and cytokine activity, and accordingly, several cytokines, including IL8, CXCL6, CCL5 and CCL8, were within top induced genes. Among the most regulated genes were also potential metabolic regulators of fatty acid and glucose storage. FITM1/FIT1 induction was associated with an increased number of lipid droplets with smaller area, while triglyceride levels were modestly increased in oleate-incubated cells. Downregulation of CALM1, the calcium-modulated Î´ subunit of phosphorylase kinase, was linked to inactivation of glycogen phosphorylase and greater accumulation of glycogen. The most upregulated gene was PVALB, which is also related to calcium signaling. In conclusion, only the deficient mitochondrial transcriptional program of cultured myotubes is rescued by PGC-1Î±. New PGC-1Î± gene targets and pathways arise, some of which may mediate its activating effects in processes such as lipid and carbohydrate storage and angiogenesis. 6 samples from 3 different skeletal muscle cell cultures were used: 3 were transfected with adenovirus containing PGC-1aplha and 3 with adenovirus containing GFP (control). The 3 PGC-1alpha samples were compared against the control samples.

Project description:This dataset is part of the manuscript titled "The metabolic regulator ERRalpha, a downstream target of HER2/IGF1, as a therapeutic target in breast cancer" (in review). The expression data obtained in human mammary epithelial cells were used to generate a list of ERRalpha-regulated genes that was later refined in clinical breast cancer datasets to generate a clinically relevant signature of ERalpha activity (referred to as Cluster 3 signature). Using this signature of the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRa) to profile more than eight-hundred breast tumors, we found that patients with tumors exhibiting higher ERRa activity were predicted to have shorter disease free survival. Further, the ability of an ERRa antagonist, XCT790, to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation correlates with the cellâs intrinsic ERRa activity. These findings highlight the potential of using the ERRa signature and antagonists in targeted therapy for breast cancer. Using a chemical genomic approach we determined that activation of the HER2/IGF1 signaling pathways upregulates the expression of PGC-1b, an obligate cofactor for ERRa activity. Knockdown of PGC-1b in HER2 positive breast cancer cells impaired ERRa signaling and reduced cell proliferation, implicating a functional role of PGC1b/ERRa in the pathogenesis HER2 positive breast cancer. Primary human mammary epithelial cells were a gift from Dr. J. Marks (Duke University, Durham, NC) and cultured in MEBM (Cambrex, East Rutherford, NJ) with MEGM bullet kit and supplemented with 5mg/ml transferrin and 10-5M isoproterenol. To generate ERR-alpha signature, hMECs were serum starved for 36h followed by infection with MOI=150 of adenoviruses expressing two variants of PGC1alpha, a protein ligand for ERRalpha: PGC-1alpha2x9 or PGC-1alpha L2L3M. PGC-1-2x9 is specific to ERRalpha, while PGC-1-L2L3M lacks the NR box and does not interact with ERRalpha or other nuclear receptors. The generation and purification of variant PGC-1alpha viruses were described previously (Gaillard et al., Molecular Cell 24:5, 2006). Comparable expression levels of the two PGC-1alpha variants were verified by Western immonoblot analysis (data not shown). RNA was collect 16h after infection and purified using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Ten independent biological replicates from each virus infection were collected.
