Project description:Signaling cascades during adipogenesis culminate in the expression of two essential adipogenic factors, PPARγ and C/EBPα. Here we demonstrate that the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway, the most conserved branch of the unfolded protein response (UPR), is indispensable for adipogenesis. Indeed, XBP1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts and 3T3-L1 cells with XBP1 or IRE1α knockdown exhibit profound defects in adipogenesis. Intriguingly, C/EBPβ, a key early adipogenic factor, induces Xbp1 expression by directly binding to its proximal promoter region. Subsequently, XBP1 binds to the promoter of Cebpa and activates its gene expression. The posttranscriptional splicing of Xbp1 mRNA by IRE1α is required as only the spliced form of XBP1 (XBP1s) rescues the adipogenic defect exhibited by XBP1-deficient cells. Taken together, our data show that the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway plays a key role in adipocyte differentiation by acting as a critical regulator of the morphological and functional transformations during adipogenesis.

Project description:we demonstrate that the WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activates the PERK and IRE1α branches of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in TP53 mutant HGSOC cells. Upon AZD1775 treatment, PERK facilitates apoptotic signaling in these cells via activating CHOP, whereas IRE1α-induced spliced XBP1 (XBP1s) confers survival in response to WEE1 inhibition. Our data uncover an important dual role of UPR in TP53 mutant HGSOC cells in response to AZD1775, where additional inhibition of IRE1α-XBP1s signaling may offer synergistic efficacy.

Project description:The physiological role of the spliced form of X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1s), a key transcription factor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, in adipose tissue remains largely unknown. Here we show that overexpression of XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization in adipocytes, thereby regulating systemic glucose homeostasis. Ectopic expression of XBP1s in adipocytes improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in both lean and obese (ob/ob) mice. The beneficial effect of adipocyte XBP1s on glucose homeostasis is associated with elevated serum levels of HMW adiponectin and indeed, is adiponectin dependent. Mechanistically, XBP1s promotes adiponectin multimerization rather than activating its transcription likely through a direct regulation of the expression of several ER-chaperones involved in adiponectin maturation, including Grp78, Pdia6, ERp44 and DsbA-L. Thus, we conclude that XBP1s is an important regulator of adiponectin multimerization, which may lead to a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and hypoadiponectinemia. Epididymal adipose tissue from wild type and XBP1-overexpressing mice was subjected to gene expression profiling.

Project description:Epithelial mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) is a complex cellular reprogramming event that plays a major role in tissue homeostasis to infections and injury. Recently we elucidated a mechanism wherein the unfolded protein response (UPR) triggers EMP through the inositol-requiring protein 1 (IRE1α)–X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) axis, enhancing glucose shunting to protein N glycosylation producing ER stress. To better the genomic targets for the IRE1-XBP1 pathway that activate compensatory metabolic changes in EMP, we systematically identified the genomic XBP1 targets using Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) of a FLAG-epitope tagged XBP1 in RSV infection. CUT&RUN identified 7,086 enriched binding sites mapped to 4,827 genes; of these XBP1 binds to 2,119 sites within 1 kb of the transcription start sites. Interestingly, XBP1 binds to 322 superenhancers associated with RHO GTPase signaling that were associated with largely inert gene expression. By contrast, XBP1 binds to proximal promoters inducing coordinate mRNA expression of hexosamine biosynthetic enzymes encoding sequential steps in UDP-GlcNAc biosynthesis through AGCTCA motifs. We demonstrate that IRE1-XBP1 signaling is necessary and sufficient to activate core HBP enzymatic pathway by recruiting transcriptional elongation-competent phospho-Ser2 CTD modified RNA Pol II (pSer-PolII).

Project description:Prostate cancer development and progression is largely dependent on androgen receptor (AR) signaling. AR is a hormone-dependent transcription factor, which binds to thousands of sites throughout the human genome to regulate expression of directly responsive genes, including pro-survival genes that enable tumor cells to cope with increased cellular stress. ERN1 and XBP1 – two key players of the unfolded protein response (UPR) – are among such stress-associated genes. Here, we show that XBP1 levels in primary prostate cancer are associated with biochemical recurrence in five independent cohorts. Patients who received AR targeted therapies had significantly lower XBP1 expression, whereas expression of the active form of XBP1 (XBP1s) was elevated. In vitro results show that AR-induced ERN1 expression led to increased XBP1s mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, ChIP-seq analysis revealed that XBP1s binds enhancers upon stress stimuli regulating genes involved in UPR processes, eIF2 signaling and protein ubiquitination. We further demonstrate genomic overlap of AR and XBP1s binding sites, suggesting genomic conversion of the two signaling cascades. Transcriptomic effects of XBP1 were further studied by knockdown experiments, which lead to decreased expression of androgen-responsive genes and UPR genes. These results suggest a two-step mechanism of gene regulation, which involves androgen-induced expression of ERN1, thereby enhancing XBP1 splicing and transcriptional activity. This signaling cascade may prepare the cells for the increased protein folding, mRNA decay and translation that accompanies AR-regulated tumor cell proliferation.

Project description:We previously reported that XBP1s, an essential transcription factor downstream of IL-15 and AKT signaling, controls cell survival and effector functions of human natural killer (NK) cells. However, the precise mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, by using XBP1 conditional knock-out mice, we found that XBP1s is critical for IL-15-mediated NK cell survival but not proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, XBP1s regulates homeostatic NK cell survival through targeting PIM-2, a critical anti-apoptotic gene, which in turn stabilizes XBP1s protein by phosphorylating it at Thr58. In addition, XBP1s enhances the effector functions and anti-tumor immunity of NK cells by recruiting T-bet to the promoter region of Ifng. Collectively, our findings identify a previously unknown mechanism by which IL-15–XBP1s signaling regulates the survival and effector functions of NK cells.

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) has emerged as important signaling pathway mediating anti-viral defenses to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection. In this study, we examine how Inositol Requiring Enzyme (IREa X-Box Binding Protein spliced (XBP1s) arm of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway controls the innate response integrating RNA-seq and Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) analyses. XBP1s binds to ~4.2 K high-confidence genomic binding sites. Surprisingly these map to only a small subset of IL10/cytokine genes. We further find that that RSV infection enhances XBP1s occupancy on 786 genomic sites enriched in AP1/Fra-1, RELA and SP1 binding sites controlling a core subset of cytokine regulatory factors genes including IFN response factor 1 (IRF1), CSF2, NFKB1A and DUSP10. Selective IRF1 knockdown experiments demonstrates its requirement in control of type I and -III IFNs and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) indicating these genes are indirectly regulated through IRF1 transactivation. We conclude that RSV modulates the XBP1 binding complex to the IRF1 epromoter, providing novel insight into how the IRE1-XBP1s pathway potentiates airway mucosal anti-viral responses.

Project description:The IRE1α-XBP1s signaling branch of the unfolded protein response is a well-characterized survival pathway that allows cells to adapt to and resolve endoplasmic reticulum stress. Recent data has broadened our understanding of IRE1α-XBP1s signaling beyond a stress response and revealed a physiological mechanism required for the differentiation and maturation of a wide variety of cell types. Here we provide evidence that the IRE1α-XBP1s signaling pathway is required for the proliferation and maturation of basal keratinocytes in the mouse tongue and esophageal epithelium. Mice with conditional targeted deletion of either IRE1α or XBP1 in keratin 14 expressing basal keratinocytes displayed severe thinning of the lingual and esophageal mucosa that rendered them unable to eat. In IRE1α null epithelium harvested at an earlier timepoint, genes regulating cell proliferation, cell-cell adhesion, and keratinization were significantly downregulated; indirect immunofluorescence revealed fewer proliferating basal keratinocytes, downregulation of E-Cadherin, and thinning of the loricrin-positive granular and cornified layers. The number of Tp63 positive basal keratinocytes was reduced in the absence of IRE1α, and expression of the Wnt pathway transcription factor LEF1, which is required for the proliferation of lingual transit amplifying cells, was also significantly downregulated at the transcript and protein level. Together these results reveal an essential role for IRE1α-XBP1s in the maintenance of the stratified squamous epithelial tissue of the tongue and esophagus.

Project description:The significant changes of hematopoietic cells induced by Xbp1S expression indicate that there is global alteration in gene expression. UPR induces transcription of Xbp1, and phosphorylation of the ER transmembrane kinase IRE1 initiates UPR-mediated mRNA splicing of Xbp1, resulting in the production of Xbp1S, an active form of a basic leucine zipper transcription factor. In the present study, Xbp1S retrovirus vector infected 32cl3 cells show cell cycle arrest and myeloid differentiation. Xbp1S may modulate important genes of differentiation and the cell cycle. RNA samples extracted from 32Dcl3 cells with pMIG (empty vector), pMY-Xbp1U (unspliced form) and pMY-Xbp1S (spliced form) retroviral vector transfected cells were subjected to expression profiling using the Affymetrix GeneChip microarray system.
