Project description:E2Fs are regulators of the cell cycle and are involved in development. In this study we examine transcriptional changes occurring the liver in E2f1 (1KI) and E2f3b (3bKI) knock in mice. These mice have E2f1 or E2f3b knocked into the E2F3a locus resulting in loss of E2f3a and expression of E2f1 or E2f3b from the E2f3a locus as originally described In Tsai et. al., Nature 2008. Microarrays were used to evaluate transcriptional changes due to alterations in E2F expression during liver development.

Microarrays were used to evaluate transcriptional changes in spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma that arose due to alterations in E2F expression. Affymetrix microarrays were performed using mRNA samples from 12 month old livers from wildtype (wt), E2F3a knockout (3aKO) E2f1 knock-in (1KI) and E2f3b knock-in (3bKI) mice. Wt and 3aKO samples were from normal liver and 1KI and 3bKI samples were from spontaneously occurring hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Advances in genomic signatures have begun to dissect breast cancer heterogeneity, and application of these signatures will allow the prediction of which pathways are important in tumor development. Here we used genomic signatures to predict involvement of specific E2F transcription factors in Myc-induced tumors. We genetically tested this prediction by interbreeding Myc transgenics with mice lacking various activator E2F alleles. Tumor latency decreased in the E2F1 mutant background and significantly increased in both the E2F2 and E2F3 mutants. Investigating the mechanism behind these changes revealed a reduction in apoptosis in the E2F1 knockout strain. E2F2 and E2F3 mutant backgrounds alleviated Myc effects on the mammary gland, reducing the susceptible tumor target population. Gene expression data from tumors revealed that the E2F2 knockout background resulted in fewer tumors with EMT, corresponding with a reduction in probability of Ras activation. In human breast cancer we found that a low probability of E2F2 pathway activation was associated with increased relapse-free survival time. Together these data illustrate the predictive utility of genomic signatures in deciphering the heterogeneity within breast cancer and illustrate the unique genetic requirements for individual E2Fs in mediating tumorigenesis in both mouse models and human breast cancer. MMTV-Myc tumors were generated in an E2F wild-type, E2F1 null, E2F2 null and E2F3 heterozygous background. When the primary tumor reached the endpoint, the tumors were flash frozen. 20 tumors from each genotype were selected for microarray analysis.

Project description:We demonstrate that the cell cycle regulators, E2f /Dp and Rb, control the transcription of ribosomal proteins (RP) in Drosophila embryos. Mutation of E2f1 or Dp and over expression of Rbf1 increase and reduce RP transcription, respectively. Although E2f/Dp/Rb might exert this effect through a repressor complex, the regulatory regions of RP genes do not show an enrichment of canonical E2f binding sites. In addition, E2f1, Dp and Rbf1 also regulate the expression of RACK1, a ribosomal component and a negative regulator of cell cycle progression. These findings strengthen the coupling of cell cycle regulation to protein biosynthesis. Keywords: genotype response

Experiment Overall Design: Our study examines the genomic response of intact Drosophila embryos to the genetic manipulation of E2F/Rb pathway molecules. For over-expression experiments, Arm-Gal4 stocks were crossed to UAS-gene stocks for the following genes: E2f1/Dp, E2f2/Dp, Rbf1, and E2f1336-805 (a dominant negative form of E2f1 lacking the DNA binding domain) [16]. The E2f17172 and E2f191 null alleles were balanced by TM3[Kr-GFP]. Dpa2 and Dpa4 null alleles were balanced by CyO[Kr-GFP]. 14-16 hr E2f17172/E2f191 null mutant embryos were hand selected based on the absence of fluorescent Bolwigâs organs in Kr-GFP balanced stocks using a Zeiss stereomicroscope equipped with epifluorescence. E2f17172/E2f191 and Dpa2/Dpa4 null mutant embryos (8-10h) were selected using the COPASTM SELECT system for automated sorting of multi-cellular organisms. Eighteen RNA samples, two from each cross, were obtained from approximately 200 to 700 embryos per sample. For each cross, 2 h embryo collections were aged for 8 to 14 h at 25oC, quick frozen in an ethanol/dry ice mixture, and stored at -80 oC. The RNA was prepared for microarray analysis in accordance with Affymetrix instructions.

Project description:To identify genes specifically activated by deregulated E2F, we examined gene expression profiles using human normal fibroblasts (HFFs), which were starved of serum and re-stimulated with serum, over-expressed with E2F1 or expressed with adenovirus E1a to forcedly inactivate RB. To identify genes activated by growth stimulation, human normal fibroblasts (HFFs) were starved of serum for 48 hr, infected with control virus, restimulated with serum or left serum-starved for 18 hr and harvested. To identify genes actived by deregulated E2F, HFFs were starved of serum for 48 hr, infected with control virus, adenovirus expressing E2F1 or adenovirus E1a, further cultured in the absence of serum for 18 hr and harvested. Gene expression profiles of ecach sample were examined by DNA microarray.

Project description:HER2 / Neu is amplified and overexpressed in a large proportion of human breast cancers, but the signaling pathways that contribute to tumor development and metastatic progression are not completely understood. Using gene expression data and pathway signatures we predicted a role for activator E2F transcription factors in Neu induced tumors. This was genetically tested by interbreeding Neu transgenics with knockouts of the three activator E2Fs. Loss of any E2F delayed Neu induced tumor onset. E2F1 loss accelerated tumor growth while E2F2 and E2F3 loss did not. Strikingly, it was observed that loss of E2F1 or E2F2 significantly reduced the metastatic capacity of the tumor and this was associated with a reduction in circulating tumor cells in the E2F2 knockout. Gene expression analysis between the tumors in the various E2F mutant backgrounds revealed that there was extensive compensation by other E2F family members in the individual knockouts, underscoring the importance of the E2Fs in HER2 / Neu induced tumors. Extension to HER2 positive human breast cancer revealed a number of HER2+ subtypes based on E2F activity with differences in relapse free survival times. Taken together these data demonstrate that the E2F transcription factors are integral to HER2+ tumor development and progression.

Project description:E2F transcriptional activators and repressors regulate cell cycle-dependent gene expression. Using a series of E2f loss- and gain-of-function mice we show that development is relatively insensitive to alterations in individual E2F levels and composition. However, modest increases in E2F transcriptional output (E2f7Δ/Δ;E2f8Δ/Δ, E2f1KI/1KI and E2f3bKI/3bKI) resulted in spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without additional organ involvement, whereas decreases (E2f1-/- and E2f3b-/-) protected against HCC. DNA binding domain-, cell type- and temporal-specific gene ablation strategies defined a cell autonomous oncogenic role for E2F1/3B and a tumor suppressor role for E2F8 in hepatocytes during early post-natal liver development. Chromatin binding and expression profiling revealed a mechanism involving activation by E2F1/3B and repression by E2F7/8 to antagonistically regulate a common set of target genes associated with HCC progression. Thus, while development is sufficiently robust to withstand changes in E2F composition and activity, the liver is uniquely sensitive to perturbations in E2Fs. In summary, precise E2F transcriptional output in hepatocytes during early adolescence is critical to foster a cancer-free life span.
