SiRNA knock down of RIP140 in the presence of retinoic acid vs controls to investigate the role of RIP140 in retinoid mediated signaling

ABSTRACT: Cell-and context-specific activities of nuclear receptors may in part be due to distinct coregulator complexes recruited to distinct subsets of target genes. RIP140 (also called NRIP1) is a ligand-dependent corepressor that is inducible with retinoic acid (RA). We have shown previously that silencing of RIP140 enhances RA-induced differentiation and enhances the induction of model RA target genes in human embryonal carcinoma cells (EC). Through use of microarray technology we sought to elucidate in a de novo fashion the global role of RIP140 in RA-dependent signaling. RIP140-dependent gene expression was largely consistent with RIP140 functioning to limit RAR signaling. Few if any genes were regulated in a manner to support a role for RIP140 in â??active repressionâ??. Interestingly, approximately half of the RA-dependent genes were unaffected by RIP140, suggesting that RIP140 may discriminate between different classes of RA target genes. RIP140 silencing also accelerated RA target gene activation and sensitized EC cells to low doses of RA. Together the data suggests that the RIP140-dependent RA target genes identified here may be particularly important in mediating RA-induced tumor cell differentiation. RIP140 may be an attractive target to sensitize tumor cells to retinoid-based differentiation therapy. Experiment Overall Design: The current investigation sought to determine the global effects of RIP140 on RA-dependent and RAâ??independent gene expression. A dose of siRNA of 90 nM was chosen. Twelve independent hybridizations were performed from mRNA isolated from 12 independent samples. One scrambled and two independent RISC-free siRNA transfections and transfections with three distinct RIP140 siRNAs were performed in NT2/D1 cells. Each siRNA treatment was further treated with either 10 Î¼M RA or DMSO control for 24 hours. Hence, the design consisted of four groups, the three siRNA controls treated with vehicle, Group 1; the siRNA controls treated with RA, Group 2; siRNA to RIP140 treated with vehicle, Group 3; and siRNA to RIP140 treated with RA, Group 4 . Experiment Overall Design: The treatments were done in the presence of normal sera, since charcoal absorption of sera removes many small hydrophobic ligands to the nuclear receptor family in addition to retinoids. This measure was taken with the aim to perhaps identify target genes of other nuclear receptors including orphan receptors that could be regulated by RIP140 in the presence of low levels of their cognate ligands. RA treatment of 10 Î¼M for 24 hours was chosen since previous experience with NT2/D1 cells indicated that a reasonably sized set of altered genes would be obtained. In addition, NT2/D1 cells commit to RA-induced differentiation by 48 hours and RIP140 repression enhances and accelerates the effects of RA in these cells. Therefore, the 24-hour time point is well-within the range of the RA commitment â??windowâ?? and a larger percentage of direct RA-target genes could be expect to be uncovered compared to later time points. Experiment Overall Design: Based on the current understanding of the properties of RIP140, a number of potential outcomes were anticipated: 1) RIP140 may limit RA target gene activation by negative-feedback inhibition upon RA addition, 2) RIP140 may participate in â??active repressionâ?? of gene expression upon RA addition, 3) an unexpected outcome that RIP140 may participate in the activation of a subset of target genes, 4) RIP140 may regulate the transcription of target genes of other nuclear receptors or even non-nuclear receptor transcription factors. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified using RNeasy columns (Qiagen). Hybridizations were performed according to Affymetrix guidelines at the Dartmouth College Microarray Shared Resource using an Affymetrix GeneChip Workstation. Biotin-labeled cRNA was generated from 5 Î¼g of total RNA and hybridized to the Human Genome (HG) U133 Plus 2.0 chip A total of 12 hybridizations were performed comprising 12-independent biologic samples organized into the four groups of three.

<h4>Background</h4>The use of retinoids as anti-cancer agents has been limited due to resistance and low efficacy. The dynamics of nuclear receptor coregulation are incompletely understood. Cell-and context-specific activities of nuclear receptors may be in part due to distinct coregulator complexes recruited to distinct subsets of target genes. RIP140 (also called NRIP1) is a ligand-dependent corepressor that is inducible with retinoic acid (RA). We had previously shown that RIP140 limits RA in ...[more]

Project description:Inflammation-mediated oncogenesis has been implicated in a variety of cancer types. Rheumatoid synovial tissues can be viewed as a tumor-like mass, consisting of hyperplastic fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). FLSs of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have pro-migratory and invasive characteristics, which may be caused by chronic exposure to genotoxic stimuli, including hypoxia and growth factors. We tested whether a transformed phenotype of RA-FLSs is associated with placental growth factor (PlGF), a representative angiogenic growth factor induced by hypoxia. Here, we identified PlGF-1 and PlGF-2 as the major PlGF isoforms in RA-FLSs. Global gene expression profiling revealed that cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and cell migration were mainly represented by differentially expressed genes in RA-FLSs transfected with siRNA for PlGF. Indeed, PlGF-deficient RA-FLSs showed a decrease in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, but an increase in apoptotic death in vitro. PlGF gene overexpression resulted in the opposite effects. Moreover, exogeneous PlGF-1 and PlGF-2 increased survival, migration, and invasiveness of RA-FLSs by binding their receptors, Flt-1 and NP-1, up-regulating the expression of anti-apoptotic molecules, pErk and Bcl2. Knock-down of PlGF transcripts reduced RA-FLS proliferation in a xeno-transplantation model. Collectively, in addition to their role for neovascularization, PlGF-1 and -2 promote proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion of RA-FLSs in an autocrine and paracrine manner. These results demonstrated how primary cells of mesenchymal origin acquired an aggressive and transformed phenotype. PlGF and its receptors thus offer new targets for anti-FLS therapy. The FLSs were prepared from the synovial tissues of RA patients and incubated in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS. There are 4 FLS samples treated with PlGF siRNA, and 4 FLS samples treated with control siRNA.

Project description:Epithelial cell adhesion molecule EpCAM is a single transmembrane protein, which is involved in numerous cellular processes including cell adhesion, proliferation, maintenance of stemness of embryonic cells and progenitors, migration, and invasion. Activation of signal transduction by EpCAM is warranted by regulated intramembrane proteolysis and nuclear translocation of the intracellular domain EpICD. Here, we describe matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) as a target gene of EpCAM signalling via EpICD nuclear translocation. EpCAM and MMP-7 expression pattern and levels positively correlated in vitro and in vivo, and were strongly elevated in primary carcinomas of the head and neck area. Hence, MMP-7 is a novel target of EpCAM signalling. FaDu hypopharynx carcinoma cells were transiently transfected with a control siRNA or an EpCAM-specific siRNA. After two days, expression of EpCAM was assessed upon flow cytometry with antibodies, which specifically bind within the EGF-repeat in the extracellular domain of EpCAM (Balzar, et al., 1999). Compared to control siRNA, EpCAM siRNA induced a mean 43% reduction of EpCAM expression at the cell surface. Reduction of EpCAM expression upon siRNA treatment was confirmed by RT-PCR and qPCR. EpCAM down-regulation resulted in diminished cell proliferation assessed upon cell counting. The observed 43% decrease in cell surface expression of EpCAM translated in cell numbers diminished by 35%. This is a confirmation of earlier findings on the reduced proliferation of breast and colon cancer cell lines following siRNA-mediated knock-down of EpCAM (Maetzel, et al., 2009, Munz, et al., 2004, Osta, et al., 2004). Equal amounts of total RNA (RIN score = 10) from control- and EpCAM-siRNA-treated FaDu cells were next subjected to a single, explorative cDNA microarray analysis with the aim to identify potential target genes of the signal transduction cascade of EpCAM. All genes, which were up- or down-regulated by at least two-fold (>2-fold; 716 genes up-regulated, 552 genes down-regulated), were then subjected to a Panther classification software analysis (http://www.pantherdb.org/). Special emphasis was put on the regulation of genes associated with signalling pathways. Angiogenesis, Alzheimer's disease-presenilin pathway, Wnt signalling pathway, inflammation and cadherin signalling pathways were most strongly affected by EpCAM knock-down. mRNA levels of selected genes differently regulated following partial knock-down of EpCAM included the co-regulated genes for secreted frizzled-related protein 5, protocadherin 10, dickkopf homolog 2, MMP24, SPARC, Myst3, ErbB4, MMP12, WISP2, MMP7, Nanos1, WNT9A, and the counter-regulated genes for MMP11, fibronectin 1, DACT3, WNT2B, WNT5A, APC2, Spondin 1, and cateninM-NM-12. All genes except for protocadherin 10, Myst3, ErbB4, and WNT2B were validated in RT-PCR assays. Since several matrix metalloproteases were regulated after EpCAM knock-down and EpCAM is known to correlate with invasion, we chose this protein family for in-depth analysis. Matrix metalloprotease 7 (MMP-7) is a soluble factor, which, unlike other family members, is preferentially expressed in epithelial cells (Wilson, et al., 1995). Since EpCAM also displays highest expression in epithelia, we chose to proceed with the analysis of MMP7. SiRNA-mediated knock-down of EpCAM resulted in a comparable 50% down-regulation of MMP7 mRNA levels in RT-PCR and qPCR.

Project description:The closely related transcription factors (TFs), estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ, regulate divergent gene expression programs and proliferative outcomes in breast cancer. Utilizing MCF-7 breast cancer cells with ERα, ERβ, or both receptors as a model system to define the basis of differing response specification by related TFs, we show that these TFs and their key coregulators, SRC3 and RIP140, generate overlapping as well as unique chromatin-binding and transcription-regulating modules. Cistrome and transcriptome analyses and use of clustering algorithms delineated 11 clusters representing different chromatin-bound receptor and coregulator assemblies that could be functionally associated through enrichment analysis with distinct patterns of gene regulation and preferential coregulator usage, RIP140 with ERβ and SRC3 with ERα. The receptors modified each other’s transcriptional effect, and ERβ countered the proliferative drive of ERα through several novel mechanisms associated with specific binding site clusters. Our findings delineate distinct TF-coregulator assemblies that function as control nodes specifying precise patterns of gene regulation, proliferation, and metabolism, as exemplified by two of the most important nuclear hormone receptors in human breast cancer. MCF-7 cells expressing endogenous ERalpha were infected with adenovirus carrying either estrogen receptor beta (AdERb) or no insert (Ad) at multiplicity of infection (moi) of 50. ERβ only cells were generated from these cells by knockdown of ERα in parental cells using the following siERα sequences from Dharmacon: forward, 5’-UCAUCGCAUUCCUUGCAAAdTdT-3’, and reverse, 5’-UUUGCAAGGAAUGCGAUGAdTdT-3’. siRNA experiments were performed as previously described, and resulted in knocknown of ERα mRNA and protein by greater than 95% (GSE4006, PMID 16809442). Briefly, cells were transfected with 20 nM siCtrl [GSE4006] or siERα for 48 h after infection. Then cells were treated with 0.1% EtOH (Veh) or 10 nM E2 (Sigma-Aldrich) for 24h. All experiments were conducted with two replicates. key words; Adenovirus infection,siRNA knock-down, ligand treatment
