Sarcomere function activates a p53-dependent DNA damage response that promotes polyploidization and limits in vivo cell engraftment.

ABSTRACT: Human cardiac regeneration is limited by low cardiomyocyte replicative rates and progressive polyploidization by unclear mechanisms. To study this process, we engineer a human cardiomyocyte model to track replication and polyploidization using fluorescently tagged cyclin B1 and cardiac troponin T. Using time-lapse imaging, in vitro cardiomyocyte replication patterns recapitulate the progressive mononuclear polyploidization and replicative arrest observed in vivo. Single-cell transcriptomics and chromatin state analyses reveal that polyploidization is preceded by sarcomere assembly, enhanced oxidative metabolism, a DNA damage response, and p53 activation. CRISPR knockout screening reveals p53 as a driver of cell-cycle arrest and polyploidization. Inhibiting sarcomere function, or scavenging ROS, inhibits cell-cycle arrest and polyploidization. Finally, we show that cardiomyocyte engraftment in infarcted rat hearts is enhanced 4-fold by the increased proliferation of troponin-knockout cardiomyocytes. Thus, the sarcomere inhibits cell division through a DNA damage response that can be targeted to improve cardiomyocyte replacement strategies.

ATM-dependent downregulation of USP7/HAUSP by PPM1G activates p53 response to DNA damage.

Project description:The deubiquitylation enzyme USP7/HAUSP plays a major role in regulating genome stability and cancer prevention by controlling the key proteins involved in the DNA damage response. Despite this important role in controlling other proteins, USP7 itself has not been recognized as a target for regulation. Here, we report that USP7 regulation plays a central role in DNA damage signal transmission. We find that stabilization of Mdm2, and correspondingly p53 downregulation in unstressed cells, is accomplished by a specific isoform of USP7 (USP7S), which is phosphorylated at serine 18 by the protein kinase CK2. Phosphorylation stabilizes USP7S and thus contributes to Mdm2 stabilization and downregulation of p53. After ionizing radiation, dephosphorylation of USP7S by the ATM-dependent protein phosphatase PPM1G leads to USP7S downregulation, followed by Mdm2 downregulation and accumulation of p53. Our findings provide a quantitative transmission mechanism of the DNA damage signal to coordinate a p53-dependent DNA damage response.

Methylation-acetylation interplay activates p53 in response to DNA damage.

Project description:p53, an important tumor suppressor protein, exerts its function mostly as a sequence-specific transcription factor and is subjected to multiple posttranslational modifications in response to genotoxic stress. Recently, we discovered that lysine methylation of p53 at K372 by Set7/9 (also known as SET7 and Set9) is important for transcriptional activation and stabilization of p53. In this report we provide a molecular mechanism for the effect of p53 methylation on transcription. We demonstrate that Set7/9 activity toward p53, but not the nucleosomal histones, is modulated by DNA damage. Significantly, we show that lysine methylation of p53 is important for its subsequent acetylation, resulting in stabilization of the p53 protein. These p53 modification events can be observed on the promoter of p21 gene, a known transcriptional target of p53. Finally, we show that methylation-acetylation interplay in p53 augments acetylation of histone H4 in the promoter of p21 gene, resulting in its subsequent transcriptional activation and, hence, cell cycle arrest. Collectively, these results suggest that the cross talk between lysine methylation and acetylation is critical for p53 activation in response to DNA damage and that Set7/9 may play an important role in tumor suppression.

RNF111-dependent neddylation activates DNA damage-induced ubiquitination.

Project description:Ubiquitin-like proteins have been shown to be covalently conjugated to targets. However, the functions of these ubiquitin-like proteins are largely unknown. Here, we have screened most known ubiquitin-like proteins after DNA damage and found that NEDD8 is involved in the DNA damage response. Following various DNA damage stimuli, NEDD8 accumulated at DNA damage sites; this accumulation was dependent on an E2 enzyme (UBE2M) and an E3 ubiquitin ligase (RNF111). We further found that histone H4 was polyneddylated in response to DNA damage, and NEDD8 was conjugated to the N-terminal lysine residues of H4. Interestingly, the DNA damage-induced polyneddylation chain could be recognized by the MIU (motif interacting with ubiquitin) domain of RNF168. Loss of DNA damage-induced neddylation negatively regulated DNA damage-induced foci formation of RNF168 and its downstream functional partners, such as 53BP1 and BRCA1, thus affecting the normal DNA damage repair process.

DNA damage-induced phosphorylation of MdmX at serine 367 activates p53 by targeting MdmX for Mdm2-dependent degradation.

Project description:Understanding how p53 activity is regulated is crucial in elucidating mechanisms of cellular defense against cancer. Genetic data indicate that Mdmx as well as Mdm2 plays a major role in maintaining p53 activity at low levels in nonstressed cells. However, biochemical mechanisms of how Mdmx regulates p53 activity are not well understood. Through identification of Mdmx-binding proteins, we found that 14-3-3 proteins are associated with Mdmx. Mdmx harbors a consensus sequence for binding of 14-3-3. Serine 367 (S367) is located within the putative binding sequence for 14-3-3, and its substitution with alanine (S367A) abolishes binding of Mdmx to 14-3-3. Transfection assays indicated that the S367A mutation, in cooperation with Mdm2, enhances the ability of Mdmx to repress the transcriptional activity of p53. The S367A mutant is more resistant to Mdm2-dependent ubiquitination and degradation than wild-type Mdmx, and Mdmx phosphorylated at S367 is preferentially degraded by Mdm2. Several types of DNA damage markedly enhance S367 phosphorylation, coinciding with increased binding of Mdmx to 14-3-3 and accelerated Mdmx degradation. Furthermore, promotion of growth of normal human fibroblasts after introduction of Mdmx is enhanced by the S367 mutation. We propose that Mdmx phosphorylation at S367 plays an important role in p53 activation after DNA damage by triggering Mdm2-dependent degradation of Mdmx.

GSK-3Î² inhibition promotes engraftment of ex vivo expanded hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Glycogen synthase kinase-3Î² (GSK-3Î²) has been recently identified as an important regulator of stem cell function. In vitro studies show that GSK-3Î² inhibition delays proliferation of human haematopoietic progenitor cells while increasing numbers of late dividing multipotent progenitors. Gene expression analysis revealed that GSK-3Î² inhibition modulates the expression of a subset of genes that are transcriptional targets for cytokines. GSK-3Î² inhibition antagonised down-regulation of genes encoding cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p57 and a member of the growth arrest and DNA damage 45 family, GADD45B as well as up-regulation of cyclin D1 by cytokines, providing a possible mechanism for the BIO-induced delay in cell cycle progression. Surprisingly, inhibition of GSK-3Î² earlier shown to prevent Î²-catenin degradation and promote the nuclear accumulation of Î²-catenin was not sufficient to activate its transcriptional targets in haematopoietic stem cells. GSK-3Î² inhibition up-regulated the expression of a several positive regulators of stem cell function suppressed during cytokine-induced proliferation. The data supports a clinical role for GSK-3Î² inhibition to improve engraftment efficiency of ex vivo expanded stem cells. Total RNA was isolated from three groups following expansion of CD34+ cells in cytokikes and then treatment with BIO, as described below.

A p53-dependent response limits the viability of mammalian haploid cells.

Project description:The recent development of haploid cell lines has facilitated forward genetic screenings in mammalian cells. These lines include near-haploid human cell lines isolated from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (KBM7 and HAP1), as well as haploid embryonic stem cells derived from several organisms. In all cases, haploidy was shown to be an unstable state, so that cultures of mammalian haploid cells rapidly become enriched in diploids. Here we show that the observed diploidization is due to a proliferative disadvantage of haploid cells compared with diploid cells. Accordingly, single-cell-sorted haploid mammalian cells maintain the haploid state for prolonged periods, owing to the absence of competing diploids. Although the duration of interphase is similar in haploid and diploid cells, haploid cells spend longer in mitosis, indicative of problems in chromosome segregation. In agreement with this, a substantial proportion of the haploids die at or shortly after the last mitosis through activation of a p53-dependent cytotoxic response. Finally, we show that p53 deletion stabilizes haploidy in human HAP1 cells and haploid mouse embryonic stem cells. We propose that, similar to aneuploidy or tetraploidy, haploidy triggers a p53-dependent response that limits the fitness of mammalian cells.

Foxp3 expression in p53-dependent DNA damage responses.

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor, Foxp3, is thought to act as a master regulator that controls (suppresses) expression of the breast cancer oncogenes, SKP2 and HER-2/ErbB2. However, the mechanisms that regulate Foxp3 expression and thereby modulate tumor development remain largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that Foxp3 up-regulation requires p53 function, showing that Foxp3 expression is directly regulated by p53 upon DNA damage responses in human breast and colon carcinoma cells. Treatment with the genotoxic agents, doxorubicin or etoposide, induced Foxp3 expression in p53-positive carcinoma cells, but not in cells lacking p53 function. Furthermore, knock down of endogenous wild-type p53 using RNA interference abrogated Foxp3 induction by genotoxic agents, and exogenous expression of p53 in cells lacking p53 restored the responsiveness of Foxp3 to DNA-damaging stresses. In addition, Foxp3 knock down blunted the p53-mediated growth inhibitory response to DNA-damaging agents. These results suggest that induction of Foxp3 in the context of tumor suppression is regulated in a p53-dependent manner and implicate Foxp3 as a key determinant of cell fate in p53-dependent DNA damage responses.

p53-Dependent subcellular proteome localization following DNA damage.

Project description:The nucleolus is involved in regulating several aspects of stress responses and cell cycle arrest through the tumor suppressor p53. Under normal conditions, p53 is a short-lived protein that is present in cells at a barely detectable level. Upon exposure of cells to various forms of exogenous stress, such as DNA damage, there is a stabilization of p53 which is then responsible for an ensuing cascade of events. To further investigate the effect of p53 activation, we used a MS-based proteomics method to provide an unbiased, quantitative and high-throughput approach for measuring the subcellular distribution of the proteome that is dependent on p53. The spatial proteomics method analyses a whole cell extract created by recombining differentially labeled subcellular fractions derived from cells in which proteins have been mass labeled with heavy isotopes [Boisvert, F.-M., Lam, Y. W., Lamont, D., Lamond, A. I., Mol. Cell. Proteomics 2010, 9, 457-470]. This was used here to measure the relative distribution between cytoplasm, nucleus and nucleolus of around 2000 proteins in HCT116 cells that are either expressing wild-type p53 or null for p53. Spatial proteomics also facilitates a proteome-wide comparison of changes in protein localization in response to a wide range of physiological and experimental perturbations. We used this method to study differences in protein localization in HCT116 cells either with or without p53, and studied the differences in cellular response to DNA damage following treatment of HCT116 cells with etoposide in both p53 wild-type and null genetic backgrounds.

ATM-dependent phosphorylation of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K promotes p53 transcriptional activation in response to DNA damage.

Project description:Previous work has established that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is stabilized in an ATM-dependent manner in response to DNA damage and acts as a cofactor for p53-mediated transcription. Here, we show that in response to DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation, hnRNP K is phosphorylated in an ATM-dependent manner. Furthermore, our data indicate that ATM-dependent hnRNP K phosphorylation is required for its stabilization and its function as a p53 transcriptional cofactor in response to DNA damage. These findings thereby establish hnRNP K as an ATM target and help define how ATM orchestrates p53-dependent transcriptional responses in response to genotoxic stress.

Tumor suppressor protein p53 regulates megakaryocytic polyploidization and apoptosis.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into megakaryocytes are poorly understood. Tumor suppressor protein p53 can act as a transcription factor affecting both cell cycle control and apoptosis, and we have previously shown that p53 is activated during terminal megakaryocytic (Mk) differentiation of the CHRF-288-11 (CHRF) cell line. Here, we use RNA interference to reduce p53 expression in CHRF cells and show that reduced p53 activity leads to a greater fraction of polyploid cells, higher mean and maximum ploidy, accelerated DNA synthesis, and delayed apoptosis and cell death upon phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced Mk differentiation. In contrast, reduced p53 expression did not affect the ploidy or DNA synthesis of CHRF cells in the absence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation. Furthermore, primary Mk cells from cultures initiated with p53-null mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells displayed higher ploidy compared with wild-type controls. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis of p53-knockdown CHRF cells, compared with the "scrambled" control CHRF cells, revealed that six known transcriptional targets of p53 (BBC3, BAX, TP53I3, TP53INP1, MDM2, and P21) were down-regulated, whereas BCL2 expression, which is known to be negatively affected by p53, was up-regulated. These studies show that the functional role of the intrinsic activation of p53 during Mk differentiation is to control polyploidization and the transition to endomitosis by impeding cell cycling and promoting apoptosis.
