Project description:Transcription factor NF-κB regulates cellular responses to environmental cues. For many stimuli NF-κB resides only transiently in the nucleus. Consequently, time-dependent transcriptional outputs are a fundamental feature of NF-κB activation. Here we identify mechanisms that direct kinetic patterns of NF-κB-dependent gene expression and transcriptional outcomes in response to a transient NF-κB-inducing stimulus in B cells. By combining RELA binding, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment, and perturbation of NF-κB activation, we demonstrate that kinetic differences amongst early- and late-activated RELA target genes can be understood based on chromatin configuration prior to cell activation and RELA-dependent priming, respectively. Additionally, we identified genes that were repressed by RELA activation and others that responded to RELA-activated transcription factors. Cumulatively, our studies define an NF-κB-responsive inducible gene cascade in activated B cells.

Project description:Background: Lymphotoxin signaling via the lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) has been implicated in several biological processes, ranging from development of secondary lymphoid organs, maintenance of splenic tissue, host defense against pathogens, autoimmunity, and lipid homeostasis. The major transcription factor that is activated by LTβR crosslinking is NF-κB. Two signaling pathways have been described that result in the activation of classical p50-RelA and alternative p52-RelB NF-κB heterodimers. Results: Using microarray analysis, we investigated the transcriptional response downstream of the LTβR in mouse embryoni fibroblasts (MEF) and its regulation by the RelA and RelB subunits of NF-κB. We describe novel LTβR-responsive genes that are regulated by RelA and/or RelB. Interestingly, we found that the majority of LTβR-regulated genes require the presence of both RelA and RelB, suggesting significant crosstalk between the two NF-κB activation pathways. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis confirmed that LTβR-NF-κB target genes are predominantly involved in the regulation of immune responses. However, other biological processes, such as apoptosis/cell death, cell cycle, angiogenesis, and taxis were also regulated by LTβR signaling. Moreover, we show that activation of the LTβR inhibits the expression of a key adipogenic transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (pparg), suggesting that LTβR signaling may interfere with adipogenic differentiation. Conclusions: Thus, microarray analysis of LTβR-stimulated fibroblasts revealed further insight into the transcriptional response of LTβR signaling and its regulation by the NF-κB family members RelA and RelB. Keywords: cell type comparison (wt vs relA-/- vs relB-/-) after genetic modification using a time course for each cell type (wt, relA-/-, relB-/-) two time points were analysed (0h as control and 10h) using 3 technical replicates resulting in 18 samples in total

Project description:The NF-κB transcription factors are activated via diverse molecular mechanisms in response to various types of stimuli. A plethora of functions associated with specific sets of target genes could be regulated differentially by this factor, affecting cellular response to stress including an anticancer treatment. Here we aimed to compare subsets of NF-κB-dependent genes induced in cells stimulated with a pro-inflammatory cytokine and in cells damaged by a high dose of ionizing radiation (4 and 10 Gy). The RelA-containing NF-κB species were activated by the canonical TNFα-induced and the atypical radiation-induced pathways in human osteosarcoma cells. NF-κB-dependent genes were identified using the gene expression profiling (by RNA-Seq) in cells with downregulated RELA combined with the global profiling of RelA binding sites (by ChIP-Seq), with subsequent validation of selected candidates by quantitative PCR. There were 37 NF-κB-dependent protein-coding genes identified: in all cases RelA bound in their regulatory regions upon activation while downregulation of RELA suppressed their stimulus-induced upregulation, which apparently indicated the positive regulation mode. This set of genes included a few “novel” NF-κB-dependent species. Moreover, the evidence for possible negative regulation of ATF3 gene by NF-κB was collected. The kinetics of the NF-κB activation was slower in cells exposed to radiation than in cytokine-stimulated ones. However, subsets of NF-κB-dependent genes upregulated by both types of stimuli were essentially the same. Hence, one should expect that similar cellular processes resulting from activation of the NF-κB pathway could be induced in cells responding to pro-inflammatory cytokines and in cells where so-called “damage-induced inflammation” response was initiated by ionizing radiation

Project description:Protein deamidation is emerging as a post-translational modification that regulates protein function. The general role of protein deamidation is emerging asn fundamental to biological processes, yet remains is poorly understood. Here, we report that the rate-limiting enzyme of pyrimidine synthesis, a trifunctional enzyme containing activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, aspartyl transcarbamoylase and dihydroorotase (CAD), deamidates the RelA subunit to inactivate NF-κB and promote glycolysis. Functional screening and identified CAD as a negative regulator of NF-κB activation, and biochemical analysis demonstrated that CAD deamidatesd RelA in vitro and in cellsto negate NF-κB activation. D eamidated RelA, though failed to activate the expression of NF-κB-dependent genes, thoughbut it up-regulated that of key glycolytic enzymes to promote glycolysis and cell proliferation. In proliferating cells, CAD is activated and catalyzes de novo pyrimidine synthesis to meet the metabolic need during S phase. CAD-mediated RelA deamidation and NF-κB inactivation and glycolytic gene expression paralleled in a cell cycle-dependent mannerdriven by CAD-mediated RelA deamidation are necessary for cell proliferation. In addition, CAD promoted glycolysis via deamidated RelA that up-regulated the expression of key glycolytic enzymes. Stratification of cancer cell lines by CAD-mediated RelA deamidation predicted their sensitivity to inhibitors of glycolytic enzymes, while a subset of mutations predisposed RelA to deamidation and promoted glycolysis to enable cell proliferation. This work describes a process of metabolic reprogramming enabled by CAD-mediated RelA deamidation that underpins cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.

Project description:Pseudogenes are thought to be inactive gene sequences, but recent evidence of extensive pseudogene transcription raised the question of potential function. Here we discover and characterize the sets of lncRNAs induced by inflammatory signaling via TNFα. TNFα regulates hundreds of lncRNAs, including 54 pseudogene lncRNAs, several of which show exquisitely selective expression in response to specific cytokines and microbial components in a NF-κB-dependent manner. Lethe, a pseudogene lncRNA, is selectively induced by proinflammatory cytokines via NF-κB or glucocorticoid receptor agonist, and functions in negative feedback signaling to NF-κB. Lethe interacts with NF-κB subunit RelA to inhibit RelA DNA binding and target gene activation. Lethe level decreases with organismal age, a physiological state associated with increased NF-κB activity. These findings suggest that expression of pseudogenes lncRNAs are actively regulated and constitute functional regulators of inflammatory signaling. RNA profiles of wild type (WT) MEFs treated with TNF-alpha were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Examination of H3K4me3 histome modification in MEF.

Project description:TNFα has an evolutionary conserved role in mediating inflammation via activation of the transcription factor NF-κB. The functions of individual NF-κB binding sites are not well understood. To identify conserved and functionally important NF-κB binding sites in mammals, we performed ChIP-seq to map the genome-wide binding of RELA and select histone modifications in primary vascular endothelial cells (ECs) isolated from the aortas of human (HAEC), mouse (MAEC) and cow (BAEC), before and after TNFα. The conserved RELA binding sites show strong epigenetic changes in response to TNFα and enrich near genes controlling vascular development and pro-inflammatory responses. Our method identifies novel modes of RELA-chromatin interactions that are conserved in mammals and shared between multiple cell-types. Particularly, genomic regions bound by RELA prior to stimulation are important responders during TNFα stimulation. We use CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to validate the roles of the conserved RELA pre-bound sites near pro-inflammatory genes such as CCL2 and PLK2. Our evolutionary approach describes new aspects of mammalian NF-κB biology including its role within super-enhancers and relevance in inflammatory disorders.
