A single TCF transcription factor, regardless of its activation capacity, is sufficient for effective trilineage differentiation of ES cells

ABSTRACT: Co-expression and cross-regulation of the four TCF/LEFs render their redundant and unique functions ambiguous. Here, we describe quadruple-knockout (QKO) mouse ES cells lacking all full-length TCF/LEFs and cell lines rescued with TCF7 or TCF7L1. QKO cells self-renew, despite gene expression patterns that differ significantly from WT, and display delayed, neurectoderm-biased, embryoid body (EB) differentiation. QKO EBs have no contracting cardiomyocytes and differentiate poorly into mesendoderm, but readily generate neuronal cells. QKO cells and TCF7L1-rescued cells cannot efficiently activate TCF reporters, whereas TCF7-rescued cells exhibit significant reporter responsiveness. Surprisingly, despite dramatically different transactivation capacities, re-expression of TCF7L1 or TCF7 in QKO cells restores their tri-lineage differentiation ability, with similar lineage marker expression patterns and beating cardiomyocyte frequencies observed in EBs. Both factors also similarly affect the transcriptome of QKO cells. Our data reveal that a single TCF, regardless of its activation capacity, is sufficient for effective trilineage differentiation of ES cells.

RNA-seq experiment of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), comparing TCF/LEF quadruple knock-out cells with wild type cells

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), derived from pre-implantation blastocyst cells, can be maintained in vitro in defined N2B27 medium supplemented with two chemical inhibitors for GSK3 and MEK (2i) and the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), which act synergistically to promote self-renewal and pluripotency. Many efforts have been devoted to identify genes that promote exit from the pluripotent state and the transition to a primed state of differentiation. One of the first identified players in this process was the Wnt/b-catenin effector TCF7L1 (previously referred to as TCF3), belonging to the family of four TCF/LEF transcription factors, which acts as pro-differentiation factor by repressing pluripotency genes. Of note, there is little evidence that the genetic abrogation of the mechanisms required for the exit from the pluripotent state is sufficient to enable self-renewal in the absence of 2iL. Here, we found that complete loss-of-function of Tcf7, Lef1, Tcf7l1 and Tcf7l2, the genes encoding for the four TCF/LEF transcription factors, (refered to as qKO) allows mESCs to become fully 2iL-independent and to propagate in basal N2B27. To understand the genetic program that allows qKO cells to achieve 2iL-independent self-renewal, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of qKO and wild type mESCs.

ChIP-seq experiment of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), assessing beta-catenin DNA binding in wild type mESCs and TCF/LEF quadruple knock-out mESCs.

In addition to RNA-seq data deposited under accession number E-MTAB-10564, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) has been performed in CHIR-stimulated mESCs. Here, the DNA binding landscape of β-catenin has been analyzed to assess its possible connection to TCF/LEF-mediated pluripotency.

TCF7L1 regulates colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion by repressing GAS1 expression (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Dysregulation of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC). The T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/LEF; hereafter, TCF) family of transcription factors are critical regulators of canonical Wnt/β-catenin target gene expression. Despite similarity across DNA-binding and protein-binding domains, TCF family members differentially regulate target gene expression in CRC. Of the four TCF family members, TCF7L1 predominantly functions as a transcriptional repressor and it has an oncogenic role in CRC. Despite this role, few target genes regulated by TCF7L1 in CRC have been identified. Through RNA-sequencing of transcripts differentially expressed in control and TCF7L1-overexpressing HCT116 cells, we identified 397 genes that were repressed directly, or indirectly, by TCF7L1. Gene set enrichment analysis found genes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition amongst those that are differentially expressed. By silencing and overexpressing TCF7L1 in CRC cell lines, we found that TCF7L1 promoted migration, invasion, and adhesion in vitro. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-sequencing) localized 3661 TCF7L1 binding sites within the CRC genome. Comparison of genes whose expression was downregulated by TCF7L1 and genes with TCF7L1 binding sites revealed 41 novel targets directly regulated by TCF7L1. Among these, we localized a TCF7L1 promoter-proximal binding site within the growth arrest specific 1 (GAS1) gene. We found that ectopic GAS1 expression rescued the TCF7L1-mediated increase in migration and invasion in CRC cells. These findings uncover a novel role for TCF7L1 in repressing GAS1 expression to promote migration and invasion of CRC cells in vitro.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of ectopic FLAG-tagged TCF7L1 followed by Mass Spectrome-try in H9-TCF7L1 Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:TCF7L1 is a member of the T cell factor/Lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/LEF) family of tran-scription factors that are part of the WNT/beta-CATENIN signaling pathway. TCF7L1 modulates transcription by interacting with other regulators on chromatin. TCF7L1 has been shown to be one of the key factors in maintaining pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We previously demonstrated that the absence of TCF71 causes H9 hESCs to differentiate sponta-neously (Sierra et al., 2018 Development 145(4).pii:dev161075). Mechanistically, how TCF7L1 inhibits differentiation and keeps cells in the pluripotent state is not clear. Identifying transcrip-tional regulators on chromatin is a critical step to elucidating one of several molecular mecha-nisms controlled by TCF7L1. We previously developed a FLAG tagged TCF7L1 transgene that is controlled by a doxycycline-inducible TET-ON system and generated the H9-TCF7L1 line (Sier-ra et al., 2018 Development 145(4).pii:dev161075). Here we used the H9-TCF7L1 line and em-ployed the method called rapid immunoprecipitation (IP) mass spectrometry of endogenous pro-tein (RIME) (Mohammed et al., 2016 Nat Protoc 11(2):316-26) to identify TCF7L1-associated proteins on chromatin. Coupling of these two methods (the FLAG tagged TETON inducible sys-tem and RIME) allowed us to control the level of TCF7L1 expression in hESCs, immunopreci-pate TCF7L1 using an anti-FLAG antibody and capture TCF7L1-bound associated complexes on chromatin. Our MS analysis identified some known proteins that have been shown to associate with the WNT/beta-CATENIN/TCF/LEF pathway, as well as novel complexes that have not been linked with TCF7L1. Gene Ontology analysis suggest these proteins function in chromatin modi-fication, splicing, and RNA processing. Our data could create new ideas for in-depth studies of TCF7L1 controlling pluripotency in human ESCs and for understanding how TCF7L1 may act in other cell types.

Wnt and Tcf3-mediated regulation of gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:The observation that Tcf3 (MGI name: Tcf7l1) bound the same genes as core stem cell transcription factors, Oct4 (MGI name:Pou5f1), Sox2 and Nanog, revealed a potentially important aspect of the poorly understood mechanism whereby Wnts stimulate self renewal of pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Although the conventional view of Tcf proteins as the β-catenin-binding effectors of Wnt signaling suggested Tcf3 should activate target genes in response to Wnts, here we show that Wnt3a and Tcf3 effectively antagonize each other’s effects on gene expression. Genetic ablation of Tcf3 caused similar effects as treating cells with recombinant Wnt3a. Moreover, Tcf3 was not necessary for Wnt3a-stimulation of gene expression as the majority of Wnt3a-stimulated genes exhibited a greater increase in Tcf3-/- ES cells than in Tcf3+/+ ES cells. These expression data, together with genetic experiments, show that Wnt3a stimulates ES cell self renewal by inhibiting Tcf3. Tcf3+/+ and Tcf3-/- mouse embryonic stem cells were cultured in self renewal conditions containing recombinant Wnt3a for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
