Role of CD133 molecule in WNT response and renal repair

ABSTRACT: Renal repair after injury is dependent on clonal expansion of proliferation competent cells. In the human kidney, the expression of CD133+ characterizes a population of resident scattered cells with resistance to damage and ability to proliferate. However, the biological function of the CD133 molecule is unknown. We found by RNA sequencing that cells undergoing cisplatin damage lost the CD133 signature and acquired metanephric mesenchymal and regenerative genes such as SNAIL1, KLF4, SOX9 and WNT3. CD133 was reacquired in the recovery phase. Lack of CD133 was specifically correlated with deregulation of the Wnt signalling and E-cadherin pathway and, functionally, limited cell proliferation after injury. By immunoprecipitation, CD133 appeared to form a complex with E-cadherin and β-catenin. In parallel, CD133-Kd cells showed lower β-catenin levels in basal condition and after Wnt pathway activation and reduced TCF/LEF promoter activation in respect to CD133+ cells. Finally, the lack of CD133 impaired generation of nephrospheres while favored senescence. These data indicate that CD133 may act as a permissive factor for beta-catenin signalling, preventing its degradation in the cytoplasm. Therefore, CD133 itself appears to play a functional role in renal tubular repair trough maintenance of proliferative response and control of senescence.

Leeuwen2007 - Elucidating the interactions between the adhesive and transcriptional functions of beta-catenin in normal and cancerous cells

Project description:Elucidating the interactions between the adhesive and transcriptional functions of beta-catenin in normal and cancerous cells. van Leeuwen IM1, Byrne HM, Jensen OE, King JR. Author information 1 Centre for Mathematical Medicine and Biology, Division of Applied Mathematics, School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK. pmzivl@exmail.nottingham.ac.uk Abstract Wnt signalling is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. The presence of an extracellular Wnt stimulus induces cytoplasmic stabilisation and nuclear translocation of beta-catenin, a protein that also plays an essential role in cadherin-mediated adhesion. Two main hypotheses have been proposed concerning the balance between beta-catenin's adhesive and transcriptional functions: either beta-catenin's fate is determined by competition between its binding partners, or Wnt induces folding of beta-catenin into a conformation allocated preferentially to transcription. The experimental data supporting each hypotheses remain inconclusive. In this paper we present a new mathematical model of the Wnt pathway that incorporates beta-catenin's dual function. We use this model to carry out a series of in silico experiments and compare the behaviour of systems governed by each hypothesis. Our analytical results and model simulations provide further insight into the current understanding of Wnt signalling and, in particular, reveal differences in the response of the two modes of interaction between adhesion and signalling in certain in silico settings. We also exploit our model to investigate the impact of the mutations most commonly observed in human colorectal cancer. Simulations show that the amount of functional APC required to maintain a normal phenotype increases with increasing strength of the Wnt signal, a result which illustrates that the environment can substantially influence both tumour initiation and phenotype.

Gene expression profile of cells with unfit Wnt morphogen gradient during cell competition

Project description:Morphogen signalling forms an activity gradient and instructs cell identities in a signalling strength-dependent manner to pattern developing tissues. However, developing tissues also undergo dynamic morphogenesis, which may produce cells with unfit morphogen signalling and consequent noisy morphogen gradient. Here we show that a cell competition-related system corrects such noisy morphogen gradients. Zebrafish imaging analyses of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling gradient, which acts as a morphogen to establish embryonic anterior-posterior patterning, revealed that unfit cells with abnormal Wnt/β-catenin activity spontaneously appear and produce noise in the gradient. Communication between unfit and neighbouring fit cells via cadherin proteins stimulates apoptosis of the unfit cells by activating Smad signalling and reactive oxygen species production. This unfit cell elimination is required for proper Wnt/β-catenin gradient formation and consequent anterior-posterior patterning. Because this gradient controls patterning not only in the embryo but also in adult tissues, this system may support tissue robustness and disease prevention.

Cadherin adhesion complexes direct cell aggregation in the epithelial transition of Wnt-induced nephron progenitor cells

Project description:The aggregation of nephron progenitor cells (NPC) is required to form the nephron precursor renal vesicle (RV) as they undergo the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET). Canonical Wnt signaling regulates the MET of NPCs via the effector molecule β-catenin. β-catenin acts as a transcriptional co-activator during the differentiation of NPCs, however, if it has any role as an adhesion regulating molecule via the cadherin-catenin complex is currently unknown. Using in vitro NPC culture system with gene editing and modulated Wnt signaling input, we investigated the morphological transition of NPCs and its underlying mechanism modeling the initial step of the MET in vivo. Increasing Wnt signaling input with the small molecule agonist CHIR resulted in the aggregation of NPCs similar to the generation of the nephron anlagen. By removing β- and α-catenin from the NPCs, NPCs are sorted out from these aggregates, demonstrating the key role of the cadherin-catenin complex in the aggregation. β-catenin was essential for the induction, however, the removal of α-catenin did not affect the transcriptional profile of NPCs. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ resulted in the transient loss of cell-cell contacts suggesting the role of cadherins in the aggregation process. The analysis of in vitro bulk RNA-seq cadherin expression profile matched the in vivo cadherin expression profile determined by single-cell RNA-seq. The combined removal of pre-existing and inducible cadherins phenocopied the results of β- and α-catenin KO experiments highlighting the crucial role of the cadherin-catenin complex by multiple lines of evidence. Notably, the induction of NPCs is independent of their aggregation. The in vitro modeling of nephron development provides a mechanistic understanding how cell adhesion is regulated via the cadherin-catenin complex during nephrogenesis.

The beta-catenin interactome in a vascular smooth muscle cell model

Project description:Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling is an essential regulator of various cellular functions throughout development and adulthood. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signalling also contributes to various pathologies including cancer, necessitating an understanding of cell context dependent mechanisms regulating this pathway. Since protein-protein interactions underpin β-catenin function and localization, we sought to identify novel β-catenin interacting partners by affinity purification coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), where β-catenin is involved in both physiological and pathological control of cell proliferation. Here, we report novel components of the VSMC β-catenin interactome.

ChIP-seq experiment of the beta-catenin co-factor Bcl9 in developing forelimbs.

Project description:We isolated ca. 500 forelimbs at 10 days post coitum, and performed ChIP-seq using anti-Bcl9 antibodies. Bcl9 is a beta-catenin transcriptional cofactor, therefore it allows the identification of binding sites of the canonical Wnt signalling-dependent transcriptional complex. This experiment allowed to define that, in this developmental context, Bcl9 acts as a beta-catenin dedicated partner. Moreover, it established a series of genome-wide Bcl9 (therefore Wnt/beta-catenin) tissue-specific target loci, thereby assessing the genetic relationship existing between Wnt signaling and other signalling cascades (e.g. the Bmp pathway).

Role of bcatenin in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. β-catenin is widely thought to be a major oncogene in HCC based on the frequency of mutations associated with aberrant Wnt signaling in HCC patients. Challenging this model, our data reveal that β-catenin nuclear accumulation is restricted to the late stage of the disease. Until then, β-catenin is primarily located at the plasma membrane in complex with multiple cadherin family members where it drives tumor cell survival by enhancing the signaling of growth factor receptors such as EGFR. Therefore, our study reveals the evolving nature of β-catenin in HCC to establish it as a compound tumor promoter during the progression of the disease.

Diverse Targets of β-catenin during the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Define Cancer Stem Cells and Predict Disease Relapse

Project description:Wnt signaling contributes to the reprogramming and maintenance of cancer stem cell (CSC) states that is activated by the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program. However, the mechanistic relationship between the EMT and Wnt pathway in CSCs remains unclear. Chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) indicated that EMT induces a switch from the β-catenin/E-cadherin/Sox15 complex to the β-catenin/Twist1/TCF4 complex, which then binds to CSC-related gene promoters. In tandem co-IP and re-ChIP experiments using epithelial-type cells, Sox15 associated with the β-catenin/E-cadherin complex and then bound to the proximal promoter region of CASP3, consequently resulting in Twist1 cleavage and negatively regulating the β-catenin–elicited promotion of the CSC phenotype. During the EMT, Twist1 in complex with β-catenin enhanced β-catenin/TCF4 transcriptional activity, which includes binding to the proximal promoter region of ABCG2, a marker of CSCs. For clinical application, the five-gene signature nuclear β-cateninHigh/nuclear Twist1High/E-cadherinLow/Sox15Low/CD133High may be a valuable prognostic marker in patients with human lung cancer.

Expression data from Ad-β-catenin-GFP or Ad-GFP infected cardiomyocytes

Project description:The Wnt pathway is a key regulator of embryonic development, cell growth, differentiation, polarity formation, neural development, carcinogenesis, and stem cell self-renewal, and deregulation of the Wnt signalling is associated with many human disease. The central player in the Wnt pathway is β-catenin, A recent study has shown that β-catenin/Tcf/Lef signaling pathway is an essential growth-regulatory pathway in cardiomyocytes. We used DNA microarrays to detail the global trends in gene expression underlying β-catenin-overexpressed cardiomyocytes and identified distinct classes of up- or down-regulated genes during this process. Our findings suggest that β-catenin plays a critical role in regulating cardiac dysfunction at transcriptional level and may provide novel insight into how β-catenin modulates heart diseases. Cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control or β-catenin adenoviruses for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to define the effects of β-catenin on the global programme of gene expression in primary cardiomyocytes. To that end, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control (G) or β-catenin adenovirus (B) for 24 hours.
