Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling output is mediated by β-catenin, which interacts with LEF/TCF transcription factors and recruits a general transcriptional activation complex to its C-terminus. Its N-terminus binds BCL9/9L proteins, which bind co-activators that in mammals contribute to fine-tuning the transcriptional output. We found that a BCL9/9L-dependent gene expression signature was strongly associated with patient outcome in colorectal cancer and that stem cell and mesenchymal genes determine its prognostic value. Abrogating BCL9/9L-β-catenin signaling in independent mouse colorectal cancer models resulted in virtual loss of these traits, and oncogenic intestinal organoids lacking BCL9/9L proteins proved no longer tumorigenic. Our findings suggest that the BCL9/9L arm of Wnt-β-catenin signaling sustains a stemness-to-differentiation equilibrium in colorectal cancer, which critically affects disease outcome. Mutational activation of the Wnt pathway is a key oncogenic event in colorectal cancer. Targeting the pathway downstream of activating mutations is challenging, and the therapeutic window is limited by intestinal toxicity. Contrasting with phenotypes caused by inactivating key Wnt pathway components, ablation of BCL9/9L proteins in adult mice indicated that they were dispensable for intestinal homeostasis, consistent with their role in tuning transcription. Cancer stem cells are increasingly recognized as responsible for tumor recurrence. The correlation between stemness traits in colorectal cancer models and BCL9/9L-β-catenin signaling suggests that high Wnt signaling output is required for their maintenance. Our findings suggest that pruning Wnt-β-catenin signaling might be well tolerated and prove sufficient for trimming stemness traits and improving disease outcome.

Project description:Bcl9 and Bcl9l (Bcl9l) are commonly thought as beta-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling transcriptional activators. We find however that, in the enamel-producin ameloblasts cells, Bcl9/9l are localiyed in the cytoplasm toward to apical secretory membrane. We performed pull down followed by mass spectrometry analysis to discover the molecular partners of Bcl9 that could explain this cytoplasmic localyzation.

Project description:Forelimbs were manually dissected from three individual Bcl9/9l-deltaHD1/deltaHD2 mutants and three control littermates, at 10.5 days post coitum. BCL9 and BCL9L are paralogous beta-catenin cofactors involved in the transcriptional machinery of Wnt target genes.

Project description:There is limited research on which specific Wnt targets are regulated by B-Cell Lymphoma-9 (BCL9) and whether BCL9 regulates other signaling pathways to drive cancer malignancy. Here we demonstrated that BCL9 drives DCIS invasive progression by regulation of genes involved in cellular growth, invasion and migration.

Project description:To assess potential changes in Wnt signaling more comprehensively, EDTA-dissociated colon epithelial cells from three pools of wild-type and Bcl9/Bcl9l-mutant mice were subjected to an exploratory comparative gene expression profiling. Total RNA of three samples of EDTA-dissociated colon epithelial cells of wild-type mice and three samples of vil-Cre-Bcl9-/-/Bcl9l-/- mice, each sample consisting of material of two or three different mice, was collected and resulting amplified cDNA hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. Samples are labeled as follows: Genotype_PoolID _UniqueID_NumberOfMice.

Project description:Background & Aims: Hierarchical organization of intestine relies on their stem cells by self-renew and producing committed progenitors. Although signals like Wnt are known to animate the continued renewal by maintaining intestinal stem cells (ISCs) activity, molecular mechanisms especially E3 ubiquitin ligases that modulate ISCs ‘stemness’ and supportive niche have not been well understood. Here, we investigated the role of Cullin 4B (Cul4b) in regulating ISC functions. Methods: We generated mice with intestinal epithelial-specific disruption of Cul4b (pVillin-cre; Cul4bfn/Y), inducible disruption of Cul4b (Lgr5-creERT2; Cul4bfn/Y, CAG-creERT2; Cul4bfn/Y) and their control (Cul4bfn/Y). Intestinal tissues were analyzed by histology, immunofluorescence, RNA sequencing and mass spectrum. Intestinal organoids deprived from mice with pVillin-Cre; Cul4bfn/Y, Lgr5-Cre; Cul4bfn/Y, Tg-Cul4b and their controls were used in assays to measure intestinal self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation. Wnt signaling and intestinal markers were analyzed by immunofluorescence and immunoblot assays. Differential proteins upon Cul4b ablation or Cul4b-interacting proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. Results: Cul4b specifically located at ISCs zone. Block of Cul4b impaired intestinal homeostasis maintenance by reduced self-renewal and proliferation. Transcriptome analysis revealed that Cul4b-null intestine lose ISC characterization and showed disturbed ISC niche. Mechanistically, reactivated Wnt pathway could recover intestinal dysfunction of Cul4b knockout mice. Analysis of differential total and ubiquitylated proteins uncovered the novel targeting substrate of Cullin-Ring ubiquitin ligase 4b (CRL4b), immunity-related GTPase family M member 1 (Irgm1) in intestine. Decreased Irgm1 rescued abnormally interferon signaling, overemphasized autophagy and downstream phosphate proteins in Cul4b knockout mice. Conclusion: We conclude that Cul4b is essential for ISC self-renewal and Paneth cell function by targeting Irgm1 and modulating Wnt signaling. Our results demonstrate that Cul4b is a novel ISC stemness and niche regulator.

Project description:About 500 forelimbs were isolated at 10.5 days post coitum, and ChIP-seq was performed using anti-BCL9 (Abcam, ab37305) and anti-TBX3 (Santacruz, sc17871) antibodies. BCL9 is a beta-catenin transcriptional cofactor involved in the transcriptional machinery of Wnt target genes. TBX3 is a transcription factor important in limb development. This experiment identified, in this developmental context, co-occupancy of BCL9 and TBX3 on a genome-wide scale, and at Wnt-related loci, suggesting co-operation between these transcription factors in Wnt-driven limb development (Zimmerli et al. in revision during spring 2020). The following files are available for this experiment: - Raw sequencing data (.fastq) - Genomic enrichment data in bedgraph format (.bdg) which can be used for visualization in a genome browser. - Annotated peak files (.txt) containing high confidence peaks with genomic annotation. NOTE: The raw data relative to the BCL9 ChIP were previously deposited under accession number E-MTAB-7652, and described in Salazar et al. 2019. For simplicity, and to allow easy retrieval, we add the raw data of the entire experiment (including also BCL9) along with the newly generated analyses.
