Global cellular response to chemical perturbation of PLK4 activity and abnormal centrosome number.

ABSTRACT: Centrosomes act as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in metazoans. Centrosome number is tightly regulated by limiting centriole duplication to a single round per cell cycle. This control is achieved by multiple mechanisms, including the regulation of the protein kinase PLK4, the most upstream facilitator of centriole duplication. Altered centrosome numbers in mouse and human cells cause p53-dependent growth arrest through poorly defined mechanisms. Recent work has shown that the E3 ligase TRIM37 is required for cell cycle arrest in acentrosomal cells. To gain additional insights into this process, we undertook a series of genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens to identify factors important for growth arrest triggered by treatment with centrinone B, a selective PLK4 inhibitor. We found that TRIM37 is a key mediator of growth arrest after partial or full PLK4 inhibition. Interestingly, PLK4 cellular mobility decreased in a dose-dependent manner after centrinone B treatment. In contrast to recent work, we found that growth arrest after PLK4 inhibition correlated better with PLK4 activity than with mitotic length or centrosome number. These data provide insights into the global response to changes in centrosome number and PLK4 activity and extend the role for TRIM37 in regulating the abundance, localization, and function of centrosome proteins.

Analysis of centrosome and DNA damage response in PLK4 associated Seckel syndrome.

Project description:Microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD) is a group of autosomal recessive inherited single-gene disorders with intrauterine and postnatal global growth failure. Seckel syndrome is the most common form of the MPD. Ten genes are known with Seckel syndrome. Using genome-wide SNP genotyping and homozygosity mapping we mapped a Seckel syndrome gene to chromosomal region 4q28.1-q28.3 in a Turkish family. Direct sequencing of PLK4 (polo-like kinase 4) revealed a homozygous splicing acceptor site transition (c.31-3?A>G) that results in a premature translation termination (p.[=,Asp11Profs*14]) causing deletion of all known functional domains of the protein. PLK4 is a master regulator of centriole biogenesis and its deficiency has recently been associated with Seckel syndrome. However, the role of PLK4 in genomic stability and the DNA damage response is unclear. Evaluation of the PLK4-Seckel fibroblasts obtained from patient revealed the expected impaired centriole biogenesis, disrupted mitotic morphology, G2/M delay, and extended cell doubling time. Analysis of the PLK4-Seckel cells indicated that PLK4 is also essential for genomic stability and DNA damage response. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the pathogenesis of the severe growth failure associated with PLK4-deficiency.

A machine learning approach to predict cellular mechanical stresses in response to chemical perturbation.

Project description:Mechanical stresses generated at the cell-cell level and cell-substrate level have been suggested to be important in a host of physiological and pathological processes. However, the influence various chemical compounds have on the mechanical stresses mentioned above is poorly understood, hindering the discovery of novel therapeutics, and representing a barrier in the field. To overcome this barrier, we implemented two approaches: 1) monolayer boundary predictor and 2) discretized window predictor utilizing either stepwise linear regression or quadratic support vector machine machine learning model to predict the dose-dependent response of tractions and intercellular stresses to chemical perturbation. We used experimental traction and intercellular stress data gathered from samples subject to 0.2 or 2 μg/mL drug concentrations along with cell morphological properties extracted from the bright-field images as predictors to train our model. To demonstrate the predictive capability of our machine learning models, we predicted tractions and intercellular stresses in response to 0 and 1 μg/mL drug concentrations which were not utilized in the training sets. Results revealed the discretized window predictor trained just with four samples (292 images) to best predict both intercellular stresses and tractions using the quadratic support vector machine and stepwise linear regression models, respectively, for the unseen sample images.

Changes in global gene expression in response to chemical and genetic perturbation of chromatin structure.

Project description:DNA methylation is important for controlling gene expression in all eukaryotes. Microarray analysis of mutant and chemically-treated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with reduced DNA methylation revealed an altered gene expression profile after treatment with the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2' deoxycytidine (5-AC), which included the upregulation of expression of many transposable elements. DNA damage-response genes were also coordinately upregulated by 5-AC treatment. In the ddm1 mutant, more specific changes in gene expression were observed, in particular for genes predicted to encode transposable elements in centromeric and pericentromeric locations. These results confirm that DDM1 has a very specific role in maintaining transcriptional silence of transposable elements, while chemical inhibitors of DNA methylation can affect gene expression at a global level.

Diagnosis of abnormal human fertilization status based on pronuclear origin and/or centrosome number.

Project description:PurposeNormally fertilized zygotes generally show two pronuclei (2PN) and the extrusion of the second polar body. Conventional in vitro fertilization (c-IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) often result in abnormal monopronuclear (1PN), tripronuclear (3PN), or other polypronuclear zygotes. In this study, we performed combined analyses of the methylation status of pronuclei (PN) and the number of centrosomes, to reveal the abnormal fertilization status in human zygotes.MethodWe used differences in DNA methylation status (5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)) to discriminate between male and female PN in human zygotes. These results were also used to analyze the centrosome number to indicate how many sperm entered into the oocyte.ResultImmunofluorescent analysis shows that all of the normal 2PN zygotes had one 5mC/5hmC double-positive PN and one 5mC-positive PN, whereas a parthenogenetically activated oocyte had only 5mC staining of the PN. All of the zygotes derived from ICSI (1PN, 3PN) had two centrosomes as did all of the 2PN zygotes derived from c-IVF. Of the 1PN zygotes derived from c-IVF, more than 50 % had staining for both 5mC and 5hmC in a single PN, and one or two centrosomes, indicating fertilization by a single sperm. Meanwhile, most of 3PN zygotes derived from c-IVF had a 5mC-positive PN and two 5mC/5hmC double-positive PNs, and had four or five centrosomes, suggesting polyspermy.ConclusionsWe have established a reliable method to identify the PN origin based on the epigenetic status of the genome and have complemented these results by counting the centrosomes of zygotes.

Functional relationship among PLK2, PLK4 and ROCK2 to induce centrosome amplification.

Project description:The presence of more than 2 centrosomes (centrosome amplification) leads to defective mitosis and chromosome segregation errors, is frequently found in a variety of cancer types, and believed to be the major cause of chromosome instability. One mechanism for generation of amplified centrosomes is over-duplication of centrosomes in a single cell cycle, which is expected to occur when cells are temporarily arrested. There are a growing number of kinases that are critical for induction and promotion of centrosome amplification in the cell cycle-arrested cells, including Rho-associated kinase (ROCK2), Polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2) and PLK4. Here, we tested whether these kinases induce centrosome amplification in a linear pathway or parallel pathways. We first confirmed that ROCK2, PLK2 and PLK4 are all essential for centrosomes to re-duplicate in the cells arrested by exposure to DNA synthesis inhibitor. Using the centrosome amplification rescue assay, we found that PLK2 indirectly activates ROCK2 via phosphorylating nucleophosmin (NPM), and PLK4 functions downstream of ROCK2 to drive centrosome amplification in the arrested cells.

PLK4 deubiquitination by Spata2-CYLD suppresses NEK7-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation at the centrosome

Project description:The innate immune sensor NLRP3 assembles an inflammasome complex with NEK7 and ASC to activate Caspase-1 and drive the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IL-18. The NLRP3 inflammasome activity must be tightly controlled because its over-activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Here we show that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is suppressed by a centrosomal protein Spata2. Spata2 deficiency enhances the NLRP3 inflammasome activity both in macrophages and in an animal model of peritonitis. Mechanistically, Spata2 recruits CYLD to the centrosome where they deubiquitinate polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4), a key regulator of centrosome duplication, to facilitate its binding to and phosphorylation of NEK7 at Ser204. NEK7 phosphorylation in turn attenuates NEK7 and NLRP3 interaction, a step required for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Pharmacological or shRNA-mediated inhibition of PLK4 or lack of NEK7 phosphorylation at Ser204 augments its interaction with NLRP3, leading to increased NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our study unravels a novel centrosomal pathway-mediated regulation of inflammasome activation and may provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of NLRP3-associated inflammatory diseases.

Cep131 overexpression promotes centrosome amplification and colon cancer progression by regulating Plk4 stability.

Project description:The initiation of centrosome duplication is regulated by the Plk4/STIL/hsSAS-6 axis; however, the involvement of other centrosomal proteins in this process remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that Cep131 physically interacts with Plk4 following phosphorylation of residues S21 and T205. Localizing at the centriole, phosphorylated Cep131 has an increased capability to interact with STIL, leading to further activation and stabilization of Plk4 for initiating centrosome duplication. Moreover, we found that Cep131 overexpression resulted in centrosome amplification by excessive recruitment of STIL to the centriole and subsequent stabilization of Plk4, contributing to centrosome amplification. The xenograft mouse model also showed that both centrosome amplification and colon cancer growth were significantly increased by Cep131 overexpression. These findings demonstrate that Cep131 is a novel substrate of Plk4, and that phosphorylation or dysregulated Cep131 overexpression promotes Plk4 stabilization and therefore centrosome amplification, establishing a perspective in understanding a relationship between centrosome amplification and cancer development.

ATAC-seq Reveals Global Changes in Transcription Factor Activity Upon Perturbation of Cellular Zinc

Project description:Zinc (Zn2+) is an essential metal required in approximately 10% of the human proteome. Of this, nearly half of these proteins are involved in transcription. Little is known on how these proteins get their Zn2+, but it is becoming increasingly clear in the literature that Zn2+ may function in some capability as an intracellular messenger. Here, we sought to profile the effect that Zn2+ has on global transcription. Using ATAC-seq, we observed broad changes in chromatin accessibility when Zn2+ was both increased and depleted. These changes in chromatin accessibility correlated with changes in the enrichment of hundreds of transcription factors, many of which are Zn2+ finger transcription factors. To validate whether these changes in motif enrichment correlate with changes in transcription factor occupancy, we selected p53 as a candidate to follow up on. Using previously published p53 ChIP-seq datasets and new nascent transcription datasets, we identified high-probability p53 binding sites to validate using ChIP-qPCR. We found that the global changes in p53 motif enrichment correlated with our ChIP-qPCR results but some targets yielded local accessibility differences, a reminder that genomics datasets require experimental follow-ups before generalizations can be made. We believe that the experimental and computational workflow presented here will allow researchers to use ATAC-seq in conjunction with publicly available datasets as a relative starting point for studying transcription factor occupancy in the future.

CEP120 Promotes Centrosome Amplification And Progression Of Gastric Cancer Via USP54-Mediated Deubiquitination Of PLK4

Project description:Centrosomal protein 120 (CEP120) is a 120kD centrosome protein that plays an important role in centrosome replication. Overexpression of CEP120 can lead to centrosome amplification, which is closely associated with tumorigenesis and development. However, there are no reports on the relationship between CEP120 and tumors. In our study, overexpression of CEP120 promoted centrosome amplification in gastric cancer (GC), and the role of CEP120 in promoting GC progression was demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that CEP120 promotes centrosome amplification and GC progression by promoting the expression and centrosome aggregation of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP54, maintaining the stability of PLK4 and reducing its ubiquitination degradation. In conclusion, the CEP120-USP54-PLK4 axis may play an important role in promoting centrosome amplification and GC progression, thus providing a potential therapeutic target for GC.
