Chromatin conformation dynamics are essential to control the transcription of INK4/ARF locus

ABSTRACT: The INK4/ARF (CDKN2A/B) locus has been identified as a hotspot for susceptibility to genetic changes associated with a vast variety of cancers and aging related diseases including coronary artery disease and type II diabetes. Using chromatin Capture-C technologies, we discovered a distal enhancer upstream INK4/ARF looped to CDKN2A, ARF and CDKN2B in human fibroblast cells IMR90 and cancer cell lines HCT116 and SEM, but absent in human fibroblast cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells, which maintained an epigenetically silenced INK4/ARF locus. Bi-allelic deletion of the ~1.4 Kb core enhancer sequence by CRISPR/Cas9 technology in human HCT116 cells abrogated the long-range chromatin interaction, thereafter disrupting gene expression of these tumor suppressor genes. Moreover, cross-species conservation of the distal enhancer elements between human and mouse was observed.

Understanding BRCA1 function in INK4-RB deficient tumors

Project description:Most BRCA1-deficient BLBCs carry a dysfunctional INK4-RB pathway. Thus, we have created genetically engineered mice with Brca1 loss and deletion of p16INK4A, or separately p18INK4C, to model the deficient INK4-RB signaling in human BLBC. By using these mutant mice and human BRCA1 deficient and proficient breast cancer tissues and cells, we tested if there exists a druggable target in BRCA1 deficient breast cancers.

A minimal DNA sequence within the ARF promoter represses p16INK4A expression via long-range chromatin interaction [Cut&Run ChiP-seq]

Project description:Loss of function of CDKN2A/B, also known as INK4/ARF [encoding for p16INK4A, p15INK4B, and p14ARF (mouse p19Arf)]), confers susceptibility to cancers, whereas its up-regulation during organismal aging provokes cellular senescence and tissue degenerative disorders. To better understand molecular regulation of the locus, we knocked P2A-mCherry into the C-terminus of p16INK4A, and this construct faithfully recapitulated the endogenous transcription. Using this reporter cell line, we performed a noncoding tiling pooled screening targeting open chromatin regions spanning the approximately 500-kb region in the topological associated domain that includes p16INK4A. In both Cas9- and dCas9-KRAB–mediated screenings, we identified a 42-bp DNA sequence within exon 1β of the ARF gene, as the repressive element controlling p16INK4A expression. Chromatin conformation capture indicated that inactivating this element abolished the physical interaction between p15INK4B and ARF, thereby abolishing p16INK4A repression. This study has revealed a new mechanism of transcriptional regulation of p16INK4A by long-range chromatin interaction.

A vlincRNA participates in senescence maintenance by relieving H2AZ mediated repression at the INK4 locus

Project description:Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play major roles in proper chromatin organization and function. Senescence, a strong anti-proliferative process and a major anti-cancer barrier, is associated with dramatic chromatin reorganization in heterochromatin foci. Here, we analyze strand-specific transcriptome changes during oncogene-induced human senescence. Strikingly, while differentially-expressed RNAs are mostly repressed during senescence, ncRNAs belonging to the recently described vlincRNA (very long intergenic ncRNA) class are mainly activated. We show that VAD, a novel antisense vlincRNA strongly induced during senescence, is required for the maintenance of senescence features. VAD modulates chromatin structure in cis and activates gene expression in trans at the INK4 locus which encodes cell cycle inhibitors important for senescence-associated cell proliferation arrest. Importantly, VAD inhibits the incorporation of the repressive histone variant H2A.Z at INK4 gene promoters in senescent cells. Our data underline the importance of vlincRNAs as sensors of cellular environment changes and as mediators of the correct transcriptional response.

Chromosomal aberration of asbestos-induced malignant mesothelioma in rats

Project description:Exposure to asbestos is a risk for malignant mesothelioma in humans. We carried out array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis in a rat model by repeated intraperitoneal injections of three types of asbestos including chrysotile, crocidolite and amosite. We found a common chromosomal deletion mapped to the chromosome 5q32 locus, containing the genes encoding tumour suppressor genes CDKN2A/2B/ARF. Homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/2B/ARF was observed in the majority (92.6%) of the rat MM samples. Carcinogenesis protocol was performed using specific pathogen-free male and female F1 hybrid rats between Fischer344 and Brown-Norway strains. A total of 27 tumor samples were profiled on Agilent 244A aCGH arrays according to manufacturer's instructions for the screening purpose.

Identification of target genes of the transcription factors TCF1 and TCF3 in mouse embryonic stem cells (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Wnt/-catenin signaling controls self-renewal and pluripotency maintenance in both embryonic and adult stem cells (SCs) in mouse. We show that the activation of Wnt pathway drastically reduces proliferation of mESCs by direct binding of the the Wnt-effector Tcf1 to directly binds and regulates the Ink4/Arf locus , thereby Wnt pathway activation drastically reduces proliferation of mESCs and its regulation. We have conducted ChipSeq experiments for Tcf1 and Tcf3 with background to identify the genome wide binding locations Tcf1 and Tcf3 in mouse ESC.

Activated TNFa/NFkB Signaling Via Down Regulation of Faf1 in Asbestos-Induced Mesotheliomas from Arf Knock-out Mice

Project description:The human CDKN2A locus encodes two distinct proteins, p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF) [mouse p19(Arf)], designated INK4A and ARF herein, that are translated from alternatively spliced mRNAs. Human ARF is implicated as a tumor suppressor gene, mainly in association with the simultaneous deletion of INK4A. However, questions remain as to whether loss of ARF alone is sufficient to drive tumorigenesis. Here we report that mice deficient for Arf are susceptible to accelerated asbestos-induced malignant mesothelioma (MM). MMs arising in Arf (+/-) mice consistently exhibit biallelic inactivation of Arf, but unexpectedly, do not acquire additional recurrent genetic alterations that we previously identified in asbestos-induced MMs arising in Nf2 (+/-) mice. Array CGH analysis was used to detect a recurrent deletion at chromosome 4C6. A candidate in this region, Faf1 (FAS-associated factor 1), was further explored because it encodes a protein implicated in tumor cell survival and in the pathogenesis of some human tumor types. We confirmed hemizygous loss of Faf1 and down regulation of Faf1 protein in a series of MMs from Arf (+/-) mice, and then showed that Faf1 regulates TNFalpha-mediated NFkappaB signaling, a mechanism previously implicated in asbestos-induced oncogenesis of human mesothelial cells. Collectively, these investigations divulge important information regarding the significance of Arf inactivation in MM pathogenesis, and implicate Faf1 as a key component in the TNFalpha/NFkappaB signaling node that has now been independently implicated in the asbestos-induced oncogenesis.

RNAseq of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors from Nf1 flox/flox Arf flox/flox PostnCre+ mice

Project description:Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are the leading cause of premature death for patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 and no approved targeted therapies are available. Transformation from Nf1-null benign plexiform neurofibromas is driven by the loss of the Cdkn2a (Arf) locus. Here, genetically engineered mouse models with combined Nf1 flox/flox and Arf flox/flox alleles were used (crossed with Postn-Cre+ mice). Tissue from MPNSTs that form in the Nf1-/-;Arf-/- setting were used for mRNA sequencing and compared to benign plexiform neurofibroma tissue (Nf1-/- from Nf1 flox/flox; Postn-Cre+ mice, GSE213789) to identify transcriptome signatures from MPNST and compare them to benign plexiform neurofibroma.
