Project description:The aim of the experiment was to explore the RUNX2 genomic functions in the papillary thyroid carcinoma. To this end, we performed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by deep-sequencing using an antibody against RUNX2 in TPC1 thyroid cancer cell line, in order to define the genomic regions bound by this transcription factor.

Project description:We performed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by deep-sequencing in TPC1 thyroid cancer cell line model, in order to profile the genomic distribution of H3K27ac, H3K4me1 and H3K4me3, epigenetic markers of chromatin functional status. These data were integrated with RUNX2 genomic occupancy to define the nature and the activation status of the RUNX2-associated regions.

To this end TPC1 cell line was infected with dCas9-KRAB and sgRNA targeting RUNX2 distal promoter or a non-targeting sgRNA as control. RNA was collected 10 days after infection and changes in gene expression were evaluated by mRNA-seq. Three replicates were analyzed.

Project description:Runx2 and Axin2 regulate skeletal development. We recently determined that Axin2 and Runx2 molecularly interact in differentiating osteoblasts to regulate intramembranous bone formation, but the relationship between these factors in endochondral bone formation was unresolved. To address this, we examined the effects of Axin2 deficiency on the cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) phenotype of Runx2+/- mice, focusing on skeletal defects attributed to improper endochondral bone formation. Axin2 deficiency unexpectedly exacerbated calvarial components of the CCD phenotype in the Runx2+/- mice; the endocranial layer of the frontal suture, which develops by endochondral bone formation, failed to mineralize in the Axin2-/-:Runx2+/-mice, resulting in a cartilaginous, fibrotic and larger fontanel than observed in Runx2+/- mice. Transcripts associated with cartilage development (e.g., Acan, miR140) were expressed at higher levels, whereas blood vessel morphogenesis transcripts (e.g., Slit2) were suppressed in Axin2-/-:Runx2+/-calvaria. Cartilage maturation was impaired, as primary chondrocytes from double mutant mice demonstrated delayed differentiation and produced less calcified matrix in vitro. The genetic dominance of Runx2 was also reflected during endochondral fracture repair, as both Runx2+/- and double mutant Axin2-/-:Runx2+/- mice had enlarged fracture calluses at early stages of healing. However, by the end stages of fracture healing, double mutant animals diverged from the Runx2+/- mice, showing smaller calluses and increased torsional strength indicative of more rapid end stage bone formation as seen in the Axin2-/- mice. Taken together, our data demonstrate a dominant role for Runx2 in chondrocyte maturation, but implicate Axin2 as an important modulator of the terminal stages of endochondral bone formation. 4 mice per genotype X 4 genotypes: wildtype (WT), Runx2+/- (R-Het), Axin2-/- (A-KO), Axin2-/-:Runx2+/- (A-KO:R-Het).

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with a high incidence of relapse. Here we show that Runt-related transcription factor 2, RUNX2 is upregulated in high-risk T-ALL with KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2A-R) or immature phenotype. In KMT2A-R cells, we identified RUNX2 as a direct target of the KMT2A chimeras, while it reciprocally binds the KMT2A promoter, establishing a regulatory feed-forward mechanism. Notably, RUNX2 is required for survival in immature and KMT2A-R T-ALL in vitro and in vivo. We report a direct transcriptional regulation of CXCR4 signaling by RUNX2, which thereby promotes cell migration and adhesion. Functionally, RUNX2 impacts T-ALL cell homing and exacerbates T-ALL progression to medullary and extramedullary sites. We demonstrate that RUNX2 enables these energy-demanding processes by increasing metabolic activity in T-ALL cells through positive regulation of both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Concurrently, RUNX2 upregulation results in increased mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis in T-ALL cells. As a proof of concept, immature and KMT2A-R T-ALL cells are vulnerable to pharmacological targeting of the interaction of RUNX2 with its co-factor CBFβ. In conclusion, we identify RUNX2 a dependency factor in immature and KMT2A-R T-ALL that regulates cell metabolism and disease progression

Project description:Osteogenesis is a highly regulated developmental process and continues during the turnover and repair of mature bone. Runx2, the master regulator of osteoblastogenesis, directs a transcription program essential for bone formation through both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. While individual Runx2 gene targets have been identified, further insights into the broad spectrum of Runx2 functions required for osteogenesis are needed. By performing genome-wide characterization of Runx2 binding at the three major stages of osteoblast differentiation: proliferation, matrix deposition and mineralization, we identified Runx2-dependent regulatory networks driving bone formation. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) over the course of these stages, we discovered close to 80,000 significantly enriched regions of Runx2 binding throughout the mouse genome. These binding events exhibited distinct patterns during osteogenesis, and were associated with proximal promoters as well as a large percentage of Runx2 occupancy in non-promoter regions: upstream, introns, exons, transcription termination site (TTS) regions, and intergenic regions. These peaks were partitioned into clusters that are associated with genes in complex biological processes that support bone formation. Using Affymetrix expression profiling of differentiating osteoblasts depleted of Runx2, we identified novel Runx2 targets including Ezh2, a critical epigenetic regulator; Crabp2, a retinoic acid signaling component; Adamts4 and Tnfrsf19, two remodelers of extracellular matrix. We demonstrated by luciferase assays that these novel biological targets are regulated by Runx2 occupancy at non-promoter regions. Our data establish that Runx2 interactions with chromatin across the genome reveal novel genes, pathways and transcriptional mechanisms that contribute to the regulation of osteoblastogenesis. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with scramble or Runx2 shRNA, then harvested at proliferating stage (day 0) and differentiating stage (day 9). Total RNAs recovered from these cells were hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to find new target genes or pathways regulated by Runx2 during osteoblast differentiation. When combined with genome-wide occupancy of Runx2, we expect to gain new insights on how Runx2 controls a transcriptional program essential for osteoblast differentiation.
