Project description:The Hippo pathway is an important regulator of organ size and tumorigenesis. It is unclear, however, how Hippo signaling provides the cellular building blocks required for rapid growth. Here, we report that transgenic zebrafish expressing an activated form of the Hippo pathway effector Yap1 develop enlarged livers and are prone to liver tumor formation. Transcriptomic profiling reveals that Yap1 reprograms genes involved in glutamine metabolism.

Project description:To explore the primary cause of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Bmi1-null mice, we set out to identify differentially expressed genes by massively parallel sequencing of heart samples from Bmi1f/f;?MHCTM-Cretg/+ mice versus ?MHCTM-Cretg/+ control mice (17 weeks postinduction). Methods: Heart mRNA profiles of 17-weeks post-induction Bmi1f/f; MHCTM-Cretg/+ mice and MHCTM-Cretg/+ control mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. Sequence reads were pre-processed with Cutadapt 1.2.1, to remove TruSeq adapters and mapped on the mouse transcriptome (Ensembl gene-build GRCm38.v70) using RSEM v1.2.3. The Bioconductor package EdgeR was used to normalize data with TMM and to test for differential expression of genes using GLM.

Project description:Ventricular chambers are essential for the rhythmic contraction and relaxation that occurs in every hearbeat throughout life. Congenital abnormalities in ventricular chamber formation cause severe human heart defects. How the early trabecular meshwork of myocardial fibres forms and subsequently develops into mature chambers is still poorly understood. Here we show that Notch signalling first connects chamber endocardium and myocardium to sustain trabeculation and later coordinates ventricular patterning and compaction with coronary vessel development to give rise to the mature chamber via a temporal sequence of ligand signalling determined by the glycosyltransferase Manic Fringe (Mfng). The early endocardial expression of Mfng favours Dll4-Notch1 signalling, Which induces trabeculation in the developing ventricle.Ventricular maturation and compaction in turn require Mfng and Dll4 downregulation in the endocardium, Which allows myocardial Jag1- And Jag2- Signalling to Notch1 in this tissue.Timely and spatial perturbation of this signalling equilibrium severely disrupts heart chamber formation. Our results open a new research avenue into the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathies. Dll4 and Notch1 conditional KOs using Nfact1 and/or Tie2 driven Cre expression: RNA was isolated from pooled whole hearts of 8 (Nfact1) or 9 (Tie2) E9.5 embryos per replicate. Dll4flox;Nfatc1-Cre and WT siblings (4 KO and 4 WT replicates), Notch1flox;Nfatc1-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 2 WT replicates), Dll4flox;Tie2-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 3 WT replicates). Jag1, Jag2 and Jag1Jag2 conditional KOs using cTnT driven Cre expression: RNA was isolated from pooled heart ventricles of 4 E15.5 embryos per replicate. Jag1flox;cTnT-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 3 WT replicates), Jag2flox;cTnT-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 2 WT replicates). Jag1flox;jag2flox;cTnT-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 2 WT replicates). MFng Gain Of Function using Tie2 driven Cre expression: RNA was isolated from pooled heart ventricles of 4 E15.5 embryos per replicate. MFng;Tie2-Cre and WT siblings (4 GOF and 4 WT replicates). For Dll4, Noth1 and Jag1 KOs, libraries were prepared using the standard Illumina TrueSeq RNASeq library preparation kit and sequenced in a GAIIx Illumina sequencer using a 75bp single end elongation protocol. For Jag2 and Jag1Jag2 KOs and MFng GOF libraries were prepared prepared using the NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina and sequenced in a HiSeq2500 Illumina sequencer using a 61bp single end elongation protocol

Project description:Hippo signaling pathway is pivotally involved in human cancer. Among the Hippo components, YAP1 is highly active while function of MST1,2 and SAV1 was lost in liver cancer. Based on systematic analysis, we identified KLF5 as YAP1 binding partner in silico. To investigate KLF5 in liver cancer, we performed the gene expression microarray after knocked down YAP1, TEAD1 and KLF5 in SK-Hep1 cell line. To identify the role of YAP1, TEAD1 and KLF5 in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, we performed microarray after knocking down YAP1, TEAD1 and KLF5 in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (3 siLuc, 3 siYAP1, 3 siTEAD1, 3 siKLF5)

Project description:Collagen 6A3 (Col6a3), a component of extracellular matrix, is often up-regulated in tumours and is believed to play a pro-oncogenic role. However the mechanisms of its tumorigenic activity are poorly understood. We show here that Col6a3 is highly expressed in densely growing mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). In MEFs where the TAF4 subunit of general transcription factor IID (TFIID) has been inactivated, elevated Col6a3 expression prevents contact inhibition promoting their 3 dimensional growth as foci and fibrospheres. Analyses of gene expression in densely growing Taf4-/- MEFs revealed repression of the Hippo pathway and activation of Wnt signalling. The Hippo activator Kibra/Wwc1 is repressed under dense conditions in Taf4-/- MEFs, leading to nuclear accumulation of the proliferation factor YAP1 in the cells forming 3D foci. At the same time, Wnt9a is activated and the Sfrp2 antagonist of Wnt signalling is repressed. Surprisingly, treatment of Taf4-/- MEFs with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) restores contact inhibition suppressing 3D growth. ATRA represses Col6a3 expression independently of TAF4 expression and Col6a3 silencing is sufficient to restore contact inhibition in Taf4-/- MEFs and to suppress 3D growth by reactivating Kibra expression to induce Hippo signalling and by inducing Sfrp2 expression to antagonize Wnt signalling. All together, these results reveal a critical role for Col6a3 in regulating both Hippo and Wnt signalling to promote 3D growth, and show that the TFIID subunit TAF4 is essential to restrain the growth promoting properties of Col6a3. Our data provide new insight into the role of extra cellular matrix components in regulating cell growth. 6 samples corresponding to non-confluent cells, confluent cells and cells growing as fibrospheres were analyzed. Each growing condition was done in duplicate.

Project description:Recently, it was described that mammalian cells are able to eliminate those with relative lower Myc levels in the epiblast through cell competition. We have described that cardiomyocytes during heart development are also able to complete eliminating cells with lower Myc levels. We have also shown that adult cardiomyocytes respond in the same way over long periods of time when cell competition is induced by overexpressing Myc in a mosaic fashion. We therefore have developed an RNASeq assay to further understand the mechanism of elimination of WT cells and the effect of mild Myc overexpression in cardiomyocytes. Myc overexpression in a mosaic fashion in adult cardiomyocytes, 2 hearts were analyzed and two wild type littermates were used as controls

Project description:The Hippo signaling pathway is evolutionarily well conserved, and all core components have one or more mammalian orthologs, including MST1/2 (Hippo), SAV1 (Salvador), LATS1/2 (Warts), MOB1 (Mats), YAP1/TAZ (Yorkie), and TEAD1/2/3/4 (Scalloped) (Halder and Johnson, 2011; Pan, 2007; Dong et al., 2007; Saucedo and Edgar, 2007). When Hippo signaling is active, YAP1/TAZ is phosphorylated by LATS1/2 and sequestered by 14-3-3 proteins in cytoplasm. When Hippo signaling is absent, unphosphorylated YAP1/TAZ enters the nucleus and increases transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The indispensability of the Hippo pathway in restricting cell growth and proliferation has prompted speculation that many members of the pathway might be involved in tumorigenesis. To see the effect of YAP1 and TAZ in HCC cell, we generated gene expression profile.
