RNA-seq experiment at four time points in HEK293 and hESC cells, assessing the time-resolved response on gene expression upon Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation

ABSTRACT: Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly organized biochemical cascade that triggers a gene expression program in the signal-receiving cell. The Wnt/β-catenin-driven transcriptional response is involved in virtually all cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and its deregulation causes human disease. However, outstanding questions remain unanswered. Here, we combined RNA sequencing with CUT&RUN-LoV-U against β-catenin to assess the correlation between β-catenin recruitment to target loci and its effect on target gene expression. To this end, we performed a bulk RNA sequencing analysis on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) treated with the the GSK3 inhibitor/Wnt activator CHIR99021 (10 mM) for 3 days, and compared them to untreated hESCs. We then correlated the observed gene expression changes with β-catenin binding events identified from a separate experiment (see “Related Accession Number”). We observed that β-catenin binding is associated with both activation and repression of cell-specific gene expression programs, underscoring how Wnt/b-catenin drives complex cell behaviors.

ATAC-seq experiment at four time points in HEK293 and hESC cells, assessing the time-resolved response on chromatin accessibility upon Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly organized biochemical cascade that triggers a gene expression program in the signal-receiving cell. The Wnt/β-catenin -driven transcriptional response is involved in virtually all cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and its deregulation causes human disease. However, outstanding questions remain unanswered. Among these, one regards how the Wnt/β-catenin cascade modulates the chromatin behavior: to date, there exists no comprehensive genome-wide annotation of changing chromatin patterns upon Wnt pathway activation. This is important, as shifts in chromatin patterns might underlie how different cells promote diverging gene expression programs in response to Wnt. To address this question, we characterized how Wnt/β-catenin signaling shapes the genome-wide chromatin accessibility landscape in two human cell types, human embryonic kidney cells 293T (HEK293T) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), over time. To this end, we treated HEK293T and hESCs with the GSK3 inhibitor/Wnt activator CHIR99021 (10 mM) for 3 days and assessed chromatin accessibility via ATAC-sequencing 4 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after the onset of the stimulation. We found that hESCs respond to Wnt/β-catenin activation by progressively shaping their chromatin accessibility profile in a manner that is consistent with their gradual acquisition of a mesodermal identity: differentiation genes loci open over time, while pluripotency ones close. We refer to this genomic response as plastic. On the other hand, HEK293T, which are known to be highly responsive to Wnt activation, appear more resistant to a long-term Wnt/β-catenin-driven change in cell identity. In this context, the chromatin displays a temporary opening of relevant regions at 4 hours after stimulation, followed by a re-establishment of its pre-stimulation state: we define this transient response as elastic.

CUT&RUN experiment at four time points in HEK293T and hESC cells, assessing the time-resolved response of β-catenin genomic occupancy upon Wnt signaling activation

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly organized biochemical cascade that triggers a gene expression program in the signal-receiving cell. The Wnt/β-catenin-driven transcriptional response is involved in virtually all cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and its deregulation causes human disease. However, outstanding questions remain unanswered. A first question concerns cell-specificity: how this response is integrated into lineage-specific choices is still unknown. A second question concerns time: it is not known whether β-catenin associates with its targets simultaneously or in a time-dependent fashion. For instance, while TCF/LEF and other components of the Wnt transcriptional complex are constitutively associated with the chromatin, it is β-catenin arrival, upon Wnt induction, that launches target genes transcription. Therefore, discovering the dynamics of the genome-wide β-catenin binding pattern is required to unambiguously define the direct targets of Wnt signaling To address these questions, we realized a time-resolved atlas of β-catenin genome-wide occupancy in two human cell types, human embryonic kidney cells 293T (HEK293T) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To this end, we treated HEK293T and hESCs with the GSK3 inhibitor/Wnt activator CHIR99021 (10 mM) for 3 days, and assessed β-catenin binding via CUT&RUN-LoV-U (Zambanini et al., 2022) 90 minutes, 4 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after the onset of the stimulation. This approach allowed us to establish that β-catenin repositions to different genomic loci along stimulation time, showing that a definition of Wnt target genes must take into account the time-dimension. Moreover, β-catenin physical targets are largely cell-type specific, as only a subset of them is present across the examined contexts.

Single cell RNA-sequencing experiment of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) upon Wnt stimulation treatment at three time points (4 hours, 24 hours and 3 days)

Project description:Wnt/b-catenin signalling is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for cell-cell communication implicated in both developmental processes and diseases such as cancer. A main part of this signalling pathway is the stabilization and nuclear translocation of b-catenin, driving the transcriptional regulation of target genes. However, while b-catenin target genes traditionally have been through to be collectively regulated upon Wnt pathway stimulation, this appears in contrast with the non-overlapping patterns of Wnt target gene expression in several contexts, including early mammalian embryogenesis. To address the question whether individual cells exhibits diverse responses to Wnt stimulation, we followed Wnt target gene activation in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) via single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) after GSK3 inhibition at 4, 24 and 72 hours of stimulation.

YAP Repression of the WNT3 Gene Controls hESC Differentiation Along the Cardiac Mesoderm Lineage

Project description:In hESCs, Wnt3/β-catenin activity is low and Activin/SMAD signaling ensures NANOG expression to sustain pluripotency. In response to exogenous Wnt3 effectors, Activin/SMADs switch to cooperate with β-catenin and induce mesendodermal differentiation genes. We show here that the HIPPO effector YAP binds to the WNT3 gene enhancer and prevents the gene from being induced by Activin in proliferating hESCs. In the absence of YAP, Activin signaling is sufficient to induce expression of the endogenous Wnt3 cytokine, which stabilizes β-catenin and selectively activates genes required for cardiac mesoderm (ME) formation. Interestingly, Activin-stimulated YAP-knockout hESCs strongly express β-catenin-dependent cardiac mesoderm markers (BAF60c and HAND1), but unlike WT hESCs, fail to express cardiac inhibitor genes (CDX2, MSX1). Accordingly, YAP-/- cells treated with Activin alone can differentiate efficiently to beating cardiomyocytes in culture, bypassing the need for sequential treatment with exogenous Wnt ligand and Wnt inhibitors. Similarly, Activin in combination with small-molecule YAP inhibitors generates beating cardiomyocytes from wild-type hESCs following a one- step protocol. Our findings highlight an unanticipated role of YAP as an upstream regulator of WNT3 to maintain hESC pluripotency in the presence of Activin, and uncover a direct route for the development of human embryonic cardiac mesoderm.

CUT&RUN LoV-U of beta-catenin, TCF/LEF transcription factors and histone modifications in HEK293T and mouse embryonic hindlimb tissue at 11.5 days post coitum

Project description:In our attempts to profile different regulators of the WNT/b-catenin transcriptional complex, CUT&RUN failed to produce consistent binding patterns of the non-DNA-binding b-catenin. We developed a modified CUT&RUN protocol, which we refer to as LoV-U (Low Volume and Urea), that enables the generation of robust and reproducible b-catenin binding profiles. CUT&RUN-LoV-U can profile all classes of chromatin regulators tested, as shown by datasets targeting the TCF/LEF transcription factors and various histone modifications. CUT&RUN-LoV-U uncovers direct WNT/β-catenin target genes in human cells, as well as in ex vivo cells isolated from developing mouse tissue.

Characterisation of the Beta-Catenin cytoplasmic/nuclear interactome in leukaemia cells

Project description:Canonical Wnt/B-catenin signaling is frequently dysregulated in myeloid leukemias and is implicated in leukemogenesis. Nuclear-localized β-catenin is indicative of active Wnt signaling and is frequently observed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients; however, some patients exhibit little or no β-catenin nuclear-localization even where cytosolic B-catenin is abundant. Differential propensity for nuclear-localized β-catenin is also observed in cell lines. To investigate the factors mediating the nuclear-localization of B-catenin we carried out a nuclear/cytoplasmic proteomic analysis of the B-catenin interactome in myeloid leukemia cells. From this we identified hundreds of putative novel B-catenin-interactors. Comparison of interacting factors between Wnt-responsive cells (high nuclear B-catenin, K562/HEL) versus Wnt-unresponsive cells (low nuclear B-catenin, ML1) suggested the established interactor, LEF1, is a key factor mediating the nuclear-localization of B-catenin in myeloid leukemia. The relative levels of nuclear LEF1 and B-catenin were tightly correlated in both cell lines and in primary AML blasts. Furthermore, LEF1 knockdown inhibited B-catenin nuclear-localization and transcriptional activation in Wnt-responsive cells. Conversely, LEF1 overexpression was able to promote both nuclear-localization and B-catenin-dependent transcriptional responses in previously Wnt-unresponsive cells. This study is the first to present a B-catenin interactome in hematopoietic cells and reveals LEF1 as a critical regulator of canonical Wnt signaling in myeloid leukemia.

Protein proximity networks and functional evaluation of the Casein Kinase 1 γ family reveals unique roles for CK1γ3 in WNT signaling

Project description:The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway is evolutionarily conserved and controls normal embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. Aberrant activation or suppression of WNT signaling contributes to cancer initiation and progression, developmental disorders, neurodegeneration, and bone disease. Despite great need and more than 40 years of research, targeted therapies for the WNT pathway have yet to be fully realized. Kinases are exceptionally druggable and occupy key nodes within the WNT signaling network, but several pathway-relevant kinases remain understudied and ‘dark’. Here we studied the function of the CSNK1g subfamily of human kinases. miniTurbo-based proximity biotinylation and mass spectrometry analysis of CSNK1γ1, CSNK1γ2, and CSNK1γ3 revealed numerous established components of the β-catenin-dependent and independent WNT signaling pathways, as well as novel interactors. In gain-of-function experiments using a panel of transcriptional reporters, CSNK1γ3 but not CSNK1γ1 or CSNK1γ2 activated β-catenin-dependent WNT signaling, with minimal effect on other signaling pathways. Within the family, CSNK1γ3 expression uniquely induced LRP6 phosphorylation. Conversely, siRNA-mediated silencing of CSNK1γ3 alone had no impact on WNT signaling, though co-silencing of all three family members decreased WNT pathway activity. We characterized two moderately selective and potent small molecule inhibitors of the CSNK1γ family. These inhibitors and a CSNK1γ3 kinase dead mutant suppressed but did not eliminate WNT-driven LRP6 phosphorylation and β-catenin stabilization. Our data suggest that while CSNK1γ3 expression uniquely drives pathway activity, potential functional redundancy within the family necessitates loss of all three family members to suppress the WNT signaling pathway.

Wnt signaling recruits KIF2A to the spindle to ensure chromosome congression during mitosis

Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling plays critical roles in development and tissue renewal by regulating β-catenin target genes. Recent evidence showed that β-catenin-independent Wnt signaling is also required for faithful execution of mitosis. This mitotic Wnt signaling functions through Wnt-dependent stabilization of proteins (Wnt/STOP), as well as through components of the LRP6 signalosome. However, the targets and specific functions of mitotic Wnt signaling still remain uncharacterized. Using phosphoproteomics, we identified that Wnt signaling regulates the microtubule depolymerase KIF2A during mitosis. We found that Dishevelled recruits KIF2A via its N-terminal and motor domains, which is further promoted upon LRP6 signalosome formation during mitosis. We show that Wnt signaling modulates KIF2A interaction with PLK1, which is critical for KIF2A localization and the assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle. Accordingly, Wnt signaling promotes chromosome congression during metaphase by monitoring KIF2A protein levels at the spindle poles both in somatic cells and in pluripotent stem cells. Our findings highlight a novel function of Wnt signaling during cell division, which could have important implications for genome maintenance, notably in stem cells.
