YAF2-Mediated YY1-Sirtuin6 Interactions Responsible for Mitochondrial Downregulation in Aging Tunicates.

ABSTRACT: In budding tunicates, aging accompanies a decrease in the gene expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam), and the in vivo transfection of Tfam mRNA stimulates the mitochondrial respiratory activity of aged animals. The gene expression of both the transcriptional repressor Yin-Yang-1 (YY1) and corepressor Sirtuin6 (Sirt6) increased during aging, and the cotransfection of synthetic mRNA of YY1 and Sirt6 synergistically downregulated Tfam gene expression. Pulldown assays of proteins indicated that YY1-associated factor 2 (YAF2) was associated with both YY1 and SIRT6. Protein cross-linking confirmed that YAF2 bound YY1 and SIRT6 with a molar ratio of 1:1. YY1 was bound to CCAT- or ACAT-containing oligonucleotides in the 5' flanking region of the Tfam gene. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) showed that SIRT6 specifically induced the histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) deacetylation of the Tfam upstream region. YY1 and YAF2 accelerated SIRT6-induced H3K9 deacetylation. YY1 and Sirt6 mRNA transfection attenuated mitochondrial respiratory gene expression and blocked MitoTracker fluorescence. In contrast, the SIRT6 inhibitor and Tfam mRNA antagonized the inhibitory effects of YY1 and Sirt6, indicating that Tfam acts on mitochondria downstream of YY1 and Sirt6. We concluded that in the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis, YY1 recruits SIRT6 via YAF2 to the TFAM gene, resulting in aging-related mitochondrial downregulation.

PcG recruitment by the YY1 REPO domain can be mediated by Yaf2.

Project description:The Polycomb Group (PcG) complex of transcriptional repressors is critical for the maintenance of stage-specific developmental gene expression, stem cell maintenance and for large-scale chromosomal dynamics. Functional deficiency of a single PcG gene can severely compromise PcG function, leading to developmental defects, embryonic lethality, or a number of malignancies. Despite the critical nature of PcG proteins, the mechanisms by which these complexes mediate their effects are relatively uncharacterized. Nearly all vertebrate PcG proteins lack inherent DNA binding capacity, making it unclear how they are targeted to Polycomb response element (PRE) sequences. Transcription factor YY1 is a functional ortholog of a Drosophila PcG protein, Pleiohomeotic (PHO), one of the few PcG proteins with specific DNA binding capability, and YY1 can recruit PcG proteins to specific DNA sequences. A small 25 amino acid YY1 domain (the REPO domain) is necessary and sufficient for recruitment of PcG proteins to DNA and for transcriptional repression. We show here that the YY1 REPO domain interacts with PcG protein Yaf2 and recruits Yaf2 to DNA. Interaction is lost when the YY1 REPO domain is deleted. In addition we show that Yaf2, when linked to a heterologous DNA binding domain, can recruit PcG proteins to DNA leading to transcriptional repression. When the Drosophila homolog of Yaf2 (dRYBP) is mutated, PcG recruitment to DNA is reduced. Taken together, our results suggest that Yaf2 serves as a molecular bridge between YY1 and other PcG complex proteins.

YY1 DNA binding and interaction with YAF2 is essential for Polycomb recruitment.

Project description:Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins are crucial for epigenetic inheritance of cell identity and are functionally conserved from Drosophila to humans. PcG proteins regulate expression of homeotic genes and are essential for axial body patterning during development. Earlier we showed that transcription factor YY1 functions as a PcG protein. YY1 also physically interacts with YAF2, a homolog of RYBP. Here we characterize the mechanism and physiologic relevance of this interaction. We found phenotypic and biochemical correction of dRYBP mutant flies by mouse YAF2 demonstrating functional conservation across species. Further biochemical analysis revealed that YAF2 bridges interaction between YY1 and the PRC1 complex. ChIP assays in HeLa cells showed that YAF2 is responsible for PcG recruitment to DNA, which is mediated by YY1 DNA binding. Knock-down of YY1 abrogated PcG recruitment, which was not compensated by exogenous YAF2 demonstrating that YY1 DNA binding is a priori necessary for Polycomb assembly on chromatin. Finally, we found that although YAF2 and RYBP regulate a similar number of Polycomb target genes, there are very few genes that are regulated by both implying functional distinction between the two proteins. We present a model of YAF2-dependent and independent PcG DNA recruitment by YY1.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors inhibit lung adenocarcinoma metastasis via HDAC2/YY1 mediated downregulation of Cdh1.

Project description:Metastasis is a leading cause of mortality in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Histone deacetylases have emerged as promising targets for anti-tumor drugs, with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) being an active area of research. However, the precise mechanisms by which HDACi inhibits lung cancer metastasis remain incompletely understood. In this study, we employed a range of techniques, including qPCR, immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation, chromatin-immunoprecipitation, and cell migration assays, in conjunction with online database analysis, to investigate the role of HDACi and HDAC2/YY1 in the process of lung adenocarcinoma migration. The present study has demonstrated that both trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate (NaBu) significantly inhibit the invasion and migration of lung cancer cells via Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2). Overexpression of HDAC2 promotes lung cancer cell migration, whereas shHDAC2 effectively inhibits it. Further investigation revealed that HDAC2 interacts with YY1 and deacetylates Lysine 27 and Lysine9 of Histone 3, thereby inhibiting Cdh1 transcriptional activity and promoting cell migration. These findings have shed light on a novel functional mechanism of HDAC2/YY1 in lung adenocarcinoma cell migration.

Matrin3 mediates differentiation through stabilizing chromatin loop-domain interactions and YY1 mediated enhancer-promoter interactions.

Project description:Although emerging evidence indicates that alterations in proteins within nuclear compartments elicit changes in chromosomal architecture and differentiation, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we investigate the direct role of the abundant nuclear complex protein Matrin3 (Matr3) in chromatin architecture and development in the context of myogenesis. Using an acute targeted protein degradation platform (dTAG-Matr3), we reveal the dynamics of development-related chromatin reorganization. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) experiments revealed substantial chromatin loop rearrangements soon after Matr3 depletion. Notably, YY1 binding was detected, accompanied by the emergence of novel YY1-mediated enhancer-promoter loops, which occurred concurrently with changes in histone modifications and chromatin-level binding patterns. Changes in chromatin occupancy by Matr3 also correlated with these alterations. Overall, our results suggest that Matr3 mediates differentiation through stabilizing chromatin accessibility and chromatin loop-domain interactions, and highlight a conserved and direct role for Matr3 in maintenance of chromosomal architecture.

Widespread use of the "ascidian" mitochondrial genetic code in tunicates.

Project description:Background: Ascidians, a tunicate class, use a mitochondrial genetic code that is distinct from vertebrates and other invertebrates. Though it has been used to translate the coding sequences from other tunicate species on a case-by-case basis, it is has not been investigated whether this can be done systematically. This is an important because a) some tunicate mitochondrial sequences are currently translated with the invertebrate code by repositories such as NCBI GenBank, and b) uncertainties about the genetic code to use can complicate or introduce errors in phylogenetic studies based on translated mitochondrial protein sequences. Methods: We collected publicly available nucleotide sequences for non-ascidian tunicates including appendicularians such as Oikopleura dioica, translated them using the ascidian mitochondrial code, and built multiple sequence alignments covering all tunicate classes. Results: All tunicates studied here appear to translate AGR codons to glycine instead of serine (invertebrates) or as a stop codon (vertebrates), as initially described in ascidians. Among Oikopleuridae, we suggest further possible changes in the use of the ATA (Ile → Met) and TGA (Trp → Arg) codons. Conclusions: We recommend using the ascidian mitochondrial code in automatic translation pipelines of mitochondrial sequences for all tunicates. Further investigation is required for additional species-specific differences.

SIRT7-Induced PHF5A Decrotonylation Regulates Aging Progress Through Alternative Splicing-Mediated Downregulation of CDK2.

Project description:Dysregulation of protein posttranslational modification (PTM) can lead to a variety of pathological processes, such as abnormal sperm development, malignant tumorigenesis, depression, and aging process. SIRT7 is a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase. Besides known deacetylation, SIRT7 may also have the capacity to remove other acylation. However, the roles of SIRT7-induced other deacylation in aging are still largely unknown. Here, we found that the expression of SIRT7 was significantly increased in senescent fibroblasts and aged tissues. Knockdown or overexpression of SIRT7 can inhibit or promote fibroblast senescence. Knockdown of SIRT7 led to increased pan-lysine crotonylation (Kcr) levels in senescent fibroblasts. Using modern mass spectrometry (MS) technology, we identified 5,149 Kcr sites across 1,541 proteins in senescent fibroblasts, and providing the largest crotonylome dataset to date in senescent cells. Specifically, among the identified proteins, we found SIRT7 decrotonylated PHF5A, an alternative splicing (AS) factor, at K25. Decrotonylation of PHF5A K25 contributed to decreased CDK2 expression by retained intron (RI)-induced abnormal AS, thereby accelerating fibroblast senescence, and supporting a key role of PHF5A K25 decrotonylation in aging. Collectively, our data revealed the molecular mechanism of SIRT7-induced k25 decrotonylation of PHF5A regulating aging and provide new ideas and molecular targets for drug intervention in cellular aging and the treatment of aging-related diseases, and indicating that protein crotonylation has important implications in the regulation of aging progress.

Stem cell aging. A mitochondrial UPR-mediated metabolic checkpoint regulates hematopoietic stem cell aging.

Project description:Deterioration of adult stem cells accounts for much of aging-associated compromised tissue maintenance. How stem cells maintain metabolic homeostasis remains elusive. Here, we identified a regulatory branch of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR(mt)), which is mediated by the interplay of SIRT7 and NRF1 and is coupled to cellular energy metabolism and proliferation. SIRT7 inactivation caused reduced quiescence, increased mitochondrial protein folding stress (PFS(mt)), and compromised regenerative capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). SIRT7 expression was reduced in aged HSCs, and SIRT7 up-regulation improved the regenerative capacity of aged HSCs. These findings define the deregulation of a UPR(mt)-mediated metabolic checkpoint as a reversible contributing factor for HSC aging.

Aging impairs arterial compliance via Klotho-mediated downregulation of B-cell population and IgG levels.

Project description:ObjectiveAging is associated with compromised immune function and arterial remodeling and stiffness. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether in vivo AAV-based delivery of secreted Klotho (SKL) gene (AAV-SKL) improves aging- and senescence-associated immune dysfunction and arterial stiffness.Methods and resultsSenescence-accelerated mice prone strain 1 (SAMP1, 10 months) and old mice (20 months) were used. Serum SKL levels, B-cell population and serum IgG levels were markedly decreased in SAMP1 and old mice. Rescue of downregulation of serum SKL levels by in vivo AAV2-based delivery of SKL gene (AAV-SKL) increased B-cell population and serum IgG levels and attenuated arterial stiffness in SAMP1 and old mice. Thus, Klotho deficiency may play a role in senescence- and aging-associated humoral immune dysfunction and arterial stiffness. Vascular infiltration of inflammatory cells and expression of TGFβ1, collagen 1, scleraxis, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were increased while the elastin level was decreased in aortas of SAMP1 and old mice which can be rescued by AAV-SKL. Interestingly, treatment with IgG effectively rescued arterial inflammation and remodeling and attenuated arterial stiffness and hypertension in aging mice. In cultured B-lymphoblast cells, we further showed that SKL regulates B-cell proliferation and maturation partly via the NFkB pathway.ConclusionAging-associated arterial stiffening may be largely attributed to downregulation of B-cell population and serum IgG levels. AAV-SKL attenuates arterial stiffness in aging mice partly via restoring B-cell population and serum IgG levels which attenuates aging-associated vascular inflammation and arterial remodeling.

TV-circRGPD6 Nanoparticle Suppresses Breast Cancer Stem Cell-Mediated Metastasis via the miR-26b/YAF2 Axis.

Project description:Metastatic tumor is a major contributor to death caused by breast cancer. However, effective and targeted therapy for metastatic breast cancer remains to be developed. Initially, we exploited a feasible biological rationale of the association between metastatic status and tumor-initiating properties in metastatic breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Further, we explored that circular RNA RANBP2-like and GRIP domain-containing protein 6 (circRGPD6) regulates the maintenance of stem cell-like characteristics of BCSCs. Targeted expression of circRGPD6 via human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter-driven VP16-GAL4-woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE)-integrated systemic amplifier delivery composite vector (TV-circRGPD6) significantly inhibited expression of stem-cell marker CD44 and increased expression of the DNA damage marker p-H2AX. Furthermore, we determined TV-circRGPD6, alone or synergized with docetaxel, displays significant therapeutic responses on metastatic BCSCs. Mechanistic analyses exploited that TV-circRGPD6 suppresses BCSC-mediated metastasis via the microRNA (miR)-26b/YAF2 axis. Clinically, for the first time, we observed that expressions of circRGPD6 and YAF2 predict a favorable prognosis in patients with breast cancer, whereas expression of miR-26b is an unfavorable prognostic factor. Overall, we have developed a TV-circRGPD6 nanoparticle that selectively expresses circRGPD6 in metastatic BCSCs to eradicate breast cancer metastasis, therefore providing a novel avenue to treat breast cancers.

Matrin3 mediates differentiation through stabilizing chromatin accessibility and chromatin loop-domain interactions, and YY1 mediated enhancer-promoter interactions

Project description:Although emerging evidence indicates that alterations in proteins within nuclear compartments elicit changes in chromosomal architecture and differentiation, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we investigate the direct role of the abundant nuclear complex protein Matrin3 (Matr3) in chromatin architecture and development in the context of myogenesis. Using an acute targeted protein degradation platform (dTAG-Matr3), we reveal the dynamics of development-related chromatin reorganization. Upon acute depletion of Matr3, gains in chromatin accessibility and MyoD binding were observed, prior to widespread loss in the steady-state Matr3-knockout. These initial changes correlated with gene expression changes later in development. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) experiments revealed substantial chromatin loop rearrangements soon after Matr3 depletion. Notably, YY1 binding was detected in close proximity to enhancer and promoter regions, accompanied by the emergence of novel YY1-mediated enhancer-promoter loops, which occurred concurrently with changes in histone modifications and chromatin-level binding patterns. Overall, our results suggest that Matr3 mediates differentiation through stabilizing chromatin accessibility and chromatin loop-domain interactions, and highlight a conserved and direct role for Matr3 in maintenance of chromosomal architecture.
