Project description:Objective Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in mammalian thermogenesis through the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Our previous study identified cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2 (CPEB2) as a key regulator that activates the translation of Ucp1 with a long 3′-untranslated region (Ucp1L) in response to adrenergic signaling. Mice lacking CPEB2 or Ucp1L exhibited reduced UCP1 expression and impaired thermogenesis; however, only CPEB2-null mice displayed obesogenic phenotypes. Hence, this study aims to investigate how CPEB2-controlled translation impacts body weight. Methods Body weight measurements were conducted on mice with global knockout (KO) of CPEB2, UCP1 or Ucp1L, as well as those with conditional knockout of CPEB2 in neurons or adipose tissues. RNA sequencing coupled with bioinformatics analysis was used to identify dysregulated gene expression in CPEB2-deficient BAT. The role of CPEB2 in regulating PRD1-BF1-RIZ1 homologous-domain containing 16 (PRDM16) expression was subsequently confirmed by RT-qPCR, Western blotting, polysomal profiling and luciferase reporter assays. Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) expressing CPEB2 or PRDM16 were delivered into BAT to assess their efficacy in mitigating weight gain in CPEB2-KO mice. Results We validated that defective BAT function contributed to the increased weight gain in CPEB2-KO mice. Transcriptomic profiling revealed upregulated expression of genes associated with muscle development in CPEB2-KO BAT. Given that both brown adipocytes and myocytes stem from myogenic factor 5-expressing precursors, with their cell-fate differentiation regulated by PRDM16, we identified that Prdm16 was translationally upregulated by CPEB2. Ectopic expression of PRDM16 in CPEB2-deprived BAT restored gene expression profiles and decreased weight gain in CPEB2-KO mice. Conclusions In addition to Ucp1L, activation of Prdm16 translation by CPEB2 is critical for sustaining brown adipocyte function. These findings unveil a new layer of post-transcriptional regulation governed by CPEB2, fine-tuning thermogenic and metabolic activities of brown adipocytes to control body weight.

Project description:Background Local translation at synapses is important for rapidly remodeling the synaptic proteome to sustain long-term plasticity and memory. While the regulatory mechanisms underlying memory-associated local translation have been widely elucidated in the postsynaptic/dendritic region, there is no direct evidence for which RNA-binding protein (RBP) in axons controls target-specific mRNA translation to promote long-term potentiation (LTP) and memory. We previously reported that translation controlled by cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2 (CPEB2) is important for postsynaptic plasticity and memory. Here, we investigated whether CPEB2 regulates axonal translation to support presynaptic plasticity. Methods Behavioral and electrophysiological assessments were conducted in mice with pan neuron/glia- or AQ2glutamatergic neuron-specific knockout of CPEB2. Hippocampal Schaffer collateral (SC)-CA1 and temporoammonic (TA)-CA1 pathways were electro-recorded to monitor synaptic transmission and LTP evoked by 4 trains of high-frequency stimulation. RNA immunoprecipitation, coupled with bioinformatics analysis, were used to unveil CPEB2-binding axonal RNA candidates associated with learning, which were further validated by Western blotting and luciferase reporter assays. Adeno-associated viruses expressing Cre recombinase were stereotaxically delivered to the pre- or post-synaptic region of the TA circuit to ablate Cpeb2 for further electrophysiological investigation. Biochemically isolated synaptosomes and axotomized neurons cultured on a microfluidic platform were applied to measure axonal protein synthesis and FM4-64FX-loaded synaptic vesicles. Results Electrophysiological analysis of hippocampal CA1 neurons detected abnormal excitability and vesicle release probability in CPEB2-depleted SC and TA afferents, so we cross-compared the CPEB2-immunoprecipitated transcriptome with a learning-induced axonal translatome in the adult cortex to identify axonal targets possibly regulated by CPEB2. We validated that Slc17a6, encoding vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2), is translationally upregulated by CPEB2. Conditional knockout of CPEB2 in VGLUT2-expressing glutamatergic neurons impaired consolidation of hippocampus-dependent memory in mice. Presynaptic-specific ablation of Cpeb2 in VGLUT2-dominated TA afferents was sufficient to attenuate protein synthesis-dependent LTP. Moreover, blocking activity-induced axonal Slc17a6 translation by CPEB2 deficiency or cycloheximide diminished the releasable pool of VGLUT2-containing synaptic vesicles. Conclusions We identified 272 CPEB2-binding transcripts with altered axonal translation post-learning and established a causal link between CPEB2-driven axonal synthesis of VGLUT2 and presynaptic translation-dependent LTP. These findings extend our understanding of memory-related translational control mechanisms in the presynaptic compartment.

Project description:Organogenesis is directed by coordinated cell proliferation and differentiation programs. The hierarchical networks of transcription factors driving mammary gland development and function have been widely studied. However, the contribution of posttranscriptional gene expression reprogramming remains largely unexplored. The 3' untranslated regions of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) contain combinatorial ensembles of cis-regulatory elements that define transcript-specific regulation of protein synthesis through their cognate RNA binding proteins. We analyze the contribution of the RNA binding cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding (CPEB) protein family, which collectively regulate mRNA translation for about 30% of the genome. We find that CPEB2 is required for the integration of hormonal signaling by controlling the protein expression from a subset of ER/PR- regulated transcripts. Furthermore, CPEB2 is critical for the development of ER-positive breast tumors. This work uncovers a previously unknown gene expression regulation level in breast morphogenesis and tumorigenesis, coordinating sequential transcriptional and posttranscriptional layers of gene expression regulation.

Project description:Gene expression microarrays measure the levels of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in a sample using probe sequences that hybridize with transcribed regions. These probe sequences are designed using a reference genome for the relevant species. However, most model organisms and all humans have genomes that deviate from their reference. These variations, which include single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions of additional nucleotides, and nucleotide deletions, can affect the microarray's performance. Genetic experiments comparing individuals bearing different population-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms that intersect microarray probes are therefore subject to systemic bias, as the reduction in binding efficiency due to a technical artifact is confounded with genetic differences between parental strains. This problem has been recognized for some time, and earlier methods of compensation have attempted to identify probes affected by genome variants using statistical models. These methods may require replicate microarray measurement of gene expression in the relevant tissue in inbred parental samples, which are not always available in model organisms and are never available in humans.By using sequence information for the genomes of organisms under investigation, potentially problematic probes can now be identified a priori. However, there is no published software tool that makes it easy to eliminate these probes from an annotation. I present equalizer, a software package that uses genome variant data to modify annotation files for the commonly used Affymetrix IVT and Gene/Exon platforms. These files can be used by any microarray normalization method for subsequent analysis. I demonstrate how use of equalizer on experiments mapping germline influence on gene expression in a genetic cross between two divergent mouse species and in human samples significantly reduces probe hybridization-induced bias, reducing false positive and false negative findings.The equalizer package reduces probe hybridization bias from experiments performed on the Affymetrix microarray platform, allowing accurate assessment of germline influence on gene expression.
