Project description:It is believed that the inherent differentiation program of melanocytes during embryogenesis predisposes melanoma cells to high frequency of metastasis. Sox10, a transcription factor expressed in neural crest stem cells and a subset of progeny lineages, plays a key role in the development of melanocytes. We show that B16F10 melanoma cells transfected with siRNA specific for Sox10 display reduced migratory activity which in turn indicated that a subset of transcriptional regulatory target genes of Sox10 are likely to be involved in migration and metastasis of melanoma cells. We carried out microarray-based gene expression profiling using Sox10-specific siRNA to identify regulatory targets and found that multiple genes including melanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1R) partake in the regulation of migration. We provide evidences that a significant portion of the effect of Sox10 on migration is mediated by Mitf, a transcription factor downstream to Sox10. The involvement of Mc1R in migration was studied in detail in vivo using a murine metastasis model. Specifically, B16F10 melanoma cells treated with a specific siRNA showed reduced tendency in metastasizing to and colonizing the lung after being injected in the tail vein. These data reveal a cadre of novel regulators and mediators involved in migration and metastasis of melanoma cells that represent potential targets of therapeutic intervention. Chemically synthesized siRNA duplex (WT1-Sox10) was used to knock-down the transcription factor Sox10 in murine melanoma cell line B16F10. For the control, siRNA containing 5 nucleotide alterations (MT1-Sox10) were used. Total RNA was subsequently prepared to synthesize probes for microarray screening. A total of three pairs of replicate samples were generated each from separate transfection followed by RNA preparation. Expression values were determined and compared within each pair of WT1-Sox10 and MT1-Sox10 transfections. Genes showing over 2 fold changes in all three replicate pairs were subjected to subsequent analyses.

Project description:To investigate the chromatin binding patterns of wildtype SOX10 versus schwannoma-derived mutant isoforms, we established SVG-p12 cell lines stably expressing either FLAG epitope tagged wildtype SOX10 or two different mutant isoforms of SOX10. We then performed chromatin immunoprecipitation-DNA sequencing on these SVG-p12 cell lines stably transduced with wildtype or mutant SOX10 isoforms using an anti-FLAG epitope antibody.

Project description:To investigate the gene expression changes caused by wildtype versus schwannoma-derived mutations in SOX10, we established SVG-p12 cell lines stably expressing either empty pCDF1 vector, wildtype SOX10, or two different mutant isoforms of SOX10. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using RNA-seq for these SVG-p12 cell lines stably transduced with wildtype or mutant SOX10 isoforms.

Project description:To identify target genes of the Sox10 transcription factor in peripheral glia in a genome-wide and unbiased approach, we performed CRISPR/Cas9-dependent genome editing of the mouse Sox10 gene in the Msc80 Schwann cell line, followed by RNA-Seq studies on Sox10-expressing control Msc80 cells and Sox10-negative genome edited cell clones. Among others we detected substantial changes in the expression of genes associated with Schwann cell adhesion and the formation of the node of Ranvier.

Project description:Given the heterogeneous expression of SOX10 in naïve melanoma, we sought to characterize SOX10 deficient population. To this end, we generated SOX10 CRISPR/Cas9 knockouts using two different guide RNAs (gRNA, #2 and #4) in the A375 (BRAF mutant) metastatic cell line. Using this approach, we identified multiple clones with loss of SOX10 expression. RNA-seq was performed to characterize the SOX10-regulated transcriptome. We used GSEA analysis to evaluate significant pathway changes in SOX10 knockout cells when compared to parental cells. We observed an enrichment in pathways associated with the tumor microenvironment (epithelial-mesenchymal transition; TGF beta signaling; extracellular structure organization; apical junction; hypoxia; angiogenesis), alterations in metabolic pathways (increase in the glycolysis pathway), a reduction in MYC and E2F targets and upregulation in p53 pathway and TNFA signaling via NFkB in the SOX10 knockout cells compared to parental cells. SOX10 negative clones have been identified in the minimal residual disease in BRAF mutant PDX models following BRAF and MEK inhibition and in patient samples while on treatment and SOX10 loss has been described as a resistant mechanism in BRAF mutant melanoma patients following vemurafenib treatment. Thus, we also analyzed the transcriptome profile of SOX10 low/deficient cells that arose following BRAFi+MEKi treatment in vivo. We performed GSEA analysis on RNA-seq data of CRT34 and CRT35 cells compared to parental A375 cells. CRT34 and CRT35 showed a very similar transcriptome profile to SOX10 KO cells when compared to A375 parental cells

Project description:To determine Sox10-regulated genes in the oligodendroglial precursor cell line OLN93, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing was performed to inactivate Sox10. For CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Sox10 inactivation, two guide sequences (5’-GCTGCGAGCCAGCCCAGGGCC-3’ for clone A and 5’-GTTGCCCAATTCGCCG GGCCC-3’ for clone B) were separately cloned into pX330. Oln93 cells were co-transfected with pEGFP-N1 and the pX330 plasmids that express the respective guide RNA and SpCas9. Transfected GFP-positive cells were enriched by fluorescence activated cell-sorting and seeded at single cell density in 96-well plates. Homogeneously GFP-expressing clones were analysed for loss of Sox10 protein by immunocytochemistry. Clones without Sox10 protein were obtained with both guide RNAs. Sox10 inactivation was confirmed by Sanger sequencing of the Sox10 gene. RNA was isolated from one clone A and one clone B as well as two independent RNA samples of wildtype OLN93 cells and submitted to RNA-seq.

Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq analysis of SOX10, histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in melanocytes to profile the genomic binding sites of SOX10 and the chromatin landscape. In parallel, we generated Sox10 haploinsufficient cell lines using gene knockout approaches and conducted microarray gene expression analysis to identify functional gene targets of SOX10 transcriptional regulation in melanocytes. We demonstrate that SOX10 predominantly engages “open” chromatin, binds to melanocyte enhancer elements and plays a central role in transcriptional activation and repression of functionally distinct classes of genes. Furthermore, we identified cis-regulatory sequence motifs of putative co-regulatory transcription factors that define SOX10-activated and SOX10-repressed target genes. Our results uncover novel mechanisms and roles of SOX10 in global transcriptional regulation of diverse regulatory pathways in the melanocyte lineage. These results indicated that SOX10 plays a role in activation and repression of distinct classes of genes. Microarray gene expression analysis in Sox10 haploinsufficient immortal melanocyte cell lines derived from 3-day-old Sox10LacZ/+; Ink4a-Arf null mice. Syngeneic control cells were melan-Ink4a-Arf-1.
