Project description:Analysis of CGTH-W-1 follicular thyroid carcinoma cells transcriptome following 48 hrs siRNA-mediated depletion of PROX1. PROX1 is a homeobox transcription factor. PROX1 depletion decreases migratory ability, motility and invasivness and induces profound cytoskeleton changes of CGTH-W-1 cells. Results provide insight into the role of PROX1 in the thyroid cancer. Three biological replicates for a given condition

Project description:SW480R is an APC mut, KRAS mut, P53 mut CRC cell line. PROX1 transcription factor, target of Wnt pathway in CRC, is our protein of interest.SW480R cells are PROX1 positive. We suppressed through siRNA transfection the expression of PROX1 protein or non-targeting siRNA, using two different siRNA. Afterwards we compared the transcriptional program of the SW480-PROX1si and SW480R-CTRsi cells growing in monolayer in vitro.

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in Kras initiate neoplastic transformation in the pancreas through a process that hijacks the activity of developmental regulators and induces an inflammatory microenvironment. We report that the homeodomain transcription factor Prox1 is a novel component of a progenitor signature that is activated in acinar cells undergoing dedifferentiation and ductal metaplasia conversion. Also, the conditional deletion of a single Prox1 allele markedly accelerates early transformation and significantly enhances features of inflammation in pancreatic tissues carrying a Kras oncogene. By using in vitro and in silico approaches, we demonstrate that Prox1 negatively regulates the expression of proinflammatory genes and genes implicated in malignant transformation in pancreatic cells. Microrrays were used to identify gene expression profiles and pathways that are differentially activated after enforced expression of PROX1 in the PROX1-negative human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell line Capan1. MSCV retroviral transduction was used to generate Capan1 cells that ectopically express PROX1 and selected for puromycin resistance. Three independent transductions with control virus (MSCV_puro) and 3 independent transductions with Prox1-cDNA virus (MSCV_PROX1_puro) were conducted for these experiments.

Project description:Accumulation of excess nutrients hampers proper liver function and is linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obesity. However, the signals responsible for an impaired adaptation of hepatocytes to obesogenic dietary cues remain still largely unknown. Post-translational modification by the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO), allows for adynamic regulation of numerous processes including transcriptional reprograming. We demonstrate that specific SUMOylation of transcription factor Prox1 represents a nutrient-sensitive determinant of hepatic fasting metabolism. Prox1 was highly SUMOylated on lysine 556 in the liver of ad libitum and re-fed mice, while this modification was abolished upon fasting. In the context of diet-induced obesity, Prox1 SUMOylation became less sensitive to fasting cues. The hepatocyte-selective knock-in of a SUMOylation-deficient Prox1 mutant into mice fed a high-fat/high-fructose diet led to a reduction of systemic cholesterol levels, associated with the induction of liver bile acid detoxifying pathways during fasting. The generation of tools to maintain the nutrient-sensitive SUMO-switch on Prox1 may thus contribute to the development of “fasting-based” approaches for the preservation of metabolic health.

Project description:Cell fate plasticity enables development, yet unlocked plasticity is a cancer hallmark. Regulating cell identity requires gene activation and repression. While master regulators induce lineage-specific genes to restrict plasticity, it remains unclear whether unwanted plasticity is actively suppressed by lineage-specific repressors. Here, we computationally predict so-called safeguard repressors for 18 cell types that block phenotypic plasticity lifelong. We validated hepatocyte-specific candidates using reprogramming, revealing that Prospero homeobox protein 1 (PROX1) enhanced hepatocyte identity by direct repression of alternate fate master regulators. In line with patient data, PROX1 overexpression in mice blocked initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma and extended survival. Remarkably, Prox1 depletion caused hepatocyte fate loss in vitro, and promoted transdifferentiation of hepatocellular- to cholangio-carcinoma in vivo. Our findings provide mechanistic evidence for PROX1 as a hepatocyte-specific safeguard and support a model where individual cell type-specific repressors actively suppress plasticity throughout life to safeguard lineage choice and prevent disease.

Project description:During central nervous system (CNS) development, proper and timely induction of axon elongation is critical for generating functional, mature neurons and neuronal networks. Despite the wealth of information on the action of extracellular cues, little is known about the intrinsic gene regulatory factors that control this developmental decision. Here we report the identification of Prox1, a homeobox transcription factor, as a key player in inhibiting axon elongation. Although Prox1 promotes acquisition of early neuronal identity and is expressed in nascent post-mitotic neurons, it is heavily down-regulated in the majority of terminally differentiated neurons, indicating a regulatory role in delaying axon outgrowth in newly formed neurons. Consistently, we show that Prox1 is sufficient to inhibit neurite extension in neuroblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, shRNA-mediated knock-down of Prox1 in Neuro2A cells induces the extension of neurites. More importantly, Prox1 overexpression suppresses axon elongation in primary neuronal cultures as well as in the developing mouse brain, while Prox1 knock-down promotes axon outgrowth. Mechanistically, RNA-Seq analysis reveals that Prox1 affects critical pathways for neuronal maturation and neurite extension. Interestingly, Prox1 strongly inhibits many components of Ca2+ signaling pathway, an important mediator of axon extension and neuronal maturation. In accordance, Prox1 represses Ca2+ entry upon KCl-mediated depolarization and reduce CREB phosphorylation. These observations suggest that Prox1 acts as a potent suppressor of axon elongation by inhibiting Ca2+ signaling pathway. This action may provide the appropriate time window for nascent neurons to find the correct position in the CNS prior to initiation of axon elongation.

Project description:We analyzed genome-wide transcriptional changes induced by siPROX1 and siTIE2, using RNA-seq analysis of HDLECs in order to highlight the importance of Ang-Tie2 system in SC and lymphatic development. Here, we report that coordination between both Ang1- and Ang2-signaling via Tie2 and Prox1 activity are essential for the appropriate formation of SC during development and maintenance of SC integrity.
