Project description:To study the physiological role of WNT4 in the postnatal ovary, a mouse strain bearing a floxed Wnt4 allele was created and mated to the Amhr2tm3(cre)Bhr strain to target deletion of Wnt4 to granulosa cells. Wnt4flox/-;Amhr2tm3(cre)Bhr/+ mice had significantly reduced ovary weights and produced smaller litters (P<0.05). Serial follicle counting demonstrated that, while Wnt4flox/-;Amhr2tm3(cre)Bhr/+ mice were born with a normal ovarian reserve and maintained normal numbers of small follicles until puberty, they had only 25.2% of the normal number of healthy antral follicles. Some Wnt4flox/-;Amhr2tm3(cre)Bhr/+ mice had no antral follicles or corpora lutea and underwent premature follicle depletion. RTPCR analyses of Wnt4flox/-;Amhr2tm3(cre)Bhr/+ granulosa cells and cultured granulosa cells that overexpress WNT4 demonstrated that WNT4 regulates the expression of Star, Cyp11a1 and Cyp19, steroidogenic genes previously identified as downstream targets of the WNT signaling effector CTNNB1. WNT4- and CTNNB1-overexpressing cultured granulosa cells were analyzed by microarray for alterations in gene expression, which showed that WNT4 also regulates a series of genes involved in late follicle development and the cellular stress response via the WNT/CTNNB1 signaling pathway. Together, these data indicate that WNT4 is required for normal antral follicle development, and may act by regulating granulosa cell functions including steroidogenesis.

Experiment Overall Design: Granulosa cells were obtained from 20-26 day-old mice of various genotypes 48h after eCG treatment, using the needle puncture method as previously described. Cells were then infected with adenoviruses to express eGFP or Cre, or overexpress WNT4 in serum-free medium, and subsequently harvested for RNA extraction as described below. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that an infection efficiency of >80% could be obtained at an MOI of ~50 (as determined by analysis of fluorescent signal in Ad-eGFP-infected cells) and that the Ad-Cre and Ad-WNT4 viruses produced efficient recombination of the floxed Ctnnb1 alleles and robust WNT4 overexpression, respectively. Microarray analyses were done using triplicate RNA samples from each adenoviral treatment described above, and using mouse expression set 430 microarrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

The FACS sorted mammary stem cell (MaSC)/basal population from Pygo2 SSKO mammary gland displays biased differentiation towards luminal/alveolar lineage in vitro, and reduced regeneration rate of new mammary gland in vivo To gain the insight into gene expression profiles in control and Pygo2 SSKO mammary epithelial cells (MECs), we sorted the freshly isolated mouse MECs into MaSC/basal (Lin-CD29hiCD24+) and mature luminal population (Lin-CD29lowCD24+CD61-), and extract total RNA for cDNA microarray analysis

Project description:We demonstrate that Wnt4, a beta-catenin independent Wnt ligand, is produced by both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells and is both necessary and sufficient for pre-cDC1/cDC1 maintenance. Whereas BM cDC precursors undergo phosphoJNK/c-Jun activation upon Wnt4 treatment, loss of cDC Wnt4 in CD11cCreWnt4flox/flox mice impaired differentiation of CD24+, Clec9A+, CD103+ cDC1 compared to CD11cCre controls. Conversely, sc-RNAseq analysis of BM revealed a 2-fold increase in cDC2 gene signature genes and flow cytometry demonstrated increased numbers of SIRP-α + cDC2 amid lack of Wnt4. Increased cDC2 numbers due to CD11c-restricted Wnt4 deficiency increased interleukin 5 production, group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) expansion, and host resistance to the hookworm parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Collectively, these data uncover a novel and unexpected role for Wnt4 in cDC subset differentiation and Type 2 immunity.

Project description:Many components of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway also play critical roles in mammary tumor development. To study the role of Apc in mammary tumorigensis, we introduced conditional Apc mutations specifically into two different mammary epithelial populations using K14-Cre (progenitor) and WAP-cre (lactaing luminal) transgenic mice. Only the K14-cre mediated Apc heterozygosity developed mammary adenocarcinomas demonstrating histological and molecular heterogeneity, suggesting the progenitor cell origin of these tumors. These tumors harbored truncation mutation in a very defined region in the remaining wild-type allele of Apc that would retain some down-regulating activity of β-catenin signaling. Our results suggest that not only the epithelial origin but also a certain Apc mutations are selected to achieve a specific level of β-catenin signaling optimal for mammary tumor development. Experiment Overall Design: We have compared 3 mammary tumors from K14-cre; ApcCKO/+ mice with 3 control mammary glands.

Project description:Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin signaling is involved in various aspects of skeletal muscle development and regeneration. In addition, Wnt3a and M-NM-2-catenin are required for muscle-specific gene transcription in embryonic carcinoma cells and satellite-cell proliferation during adult skeletal muscle regeneration. Downstream targets of canonical Wnt signaling are cyclin D1 and c-myc. However, both target genes are suppressed during differentiation of mouse myoblast cells, C2C12. Underlying molecular mechanisms of M-NM-2-catenin signaling during myogenic differentiation remain unknown. Using C2C12 cells, we examined intracellular signaling and gene transcription during myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We confirmed that several Wnt signaling components, including Wnt9a, Sfrp2 and porcupine, were consistently upregulated in differentiating C2C12 cells. Troponin T-positive myotubes were decreased by Wnt3a overexpression, but not Wnt4. TOP/FOP reporter assays revealed that co-expression with Wnt4 reduced Wnt3a-induced luciferase activity, suggesting that Wnt4 signaling counteracted Wnt3a signaling in myoblasts. FH535, a small-molecule inhibitor of M-NM-2-catenin/Tcf complex formation, reduced basal M-NM-2-catenin in cytoplasm and decreased myoblast proliferation. K252a, a protein kinase inhibitor, increased membrane-bound M-NM-2-catenin and enhanced myoblast fusion. Treatments with K252a or Wnt4 resulted in increased cytoplasmic vesicles containing phosphorylated M-NM-2-catenin (Tyr654) during myogenic differentiation. These results suggest that various Wnt ligands control subcellular M-NM-2-catenin localization, which regulate myoblast proliferation and myotube formation. Wnt signaling via M-NM-2-catenin likely acts as a molecular switch that regulates the transition from cell proliferation to myogenic differentiation. Control cells (day 0) prior to differentiation induction with n=4; differentiated for two days with n=3; differentiated for four days with n=3.
