Project description:Genome-wide Insm1 binding sites analysis revealed an overrepresentation of sequences predicted to bind bHLH and/or forkhead factors, and further analyses demonstrated that most Insm1 sites in the genome are co-occupied by Neurod1 and Foxa2. Binding regions co-occupied by all three factors but not single Insm1 sites explained a significant fraction of gene expression changes in Insm1 mutant β-cells. Together, our data provide evidence that an Insm1, Neurod1 and Foxa2 network maintains a mature gene expression program in β-cells. 6 samples include, replicates of Insm1 and Foxa2, IgG pull down as a control

Project description:We used siRNAs to knock-down the gene FOXA2 and the positionally-conserved ncRNA (pcRNA) FOXA2-DS-S is Huh7. We have shown that FOXA2 regulates its own expression by binding its promoter, but it can also affect the expression of the associated pcRNA FOXA2-DS-S. At the same time, we have shown that FOXA2-DS-S is necessary for the expression of the FOXA2 gene. These data suggest that the pcRNA acts locally, in cis, to regulate the expression of FOXA2. With this microarray experiment with aimed to explore further the genome-wide transcriptional effects of FOXA2-DS-S or FOXA2 knock-down.

Project description:FOXA2 encodes a transcription factor mutated in 10% of endometrial cancers (ECs), with a higher mutation rate in aggressive variants. FOXA2 has essential roles in embryonic and uterine development. However, FOXA2’s role in EC is incompletely understood. Functional investigations using human and mouse EC cell lines revealed that FOXA2 controls endometrial epithelial gene expression programs regulating cell proliferation, adhesion, and endometrial-epithelial transition. In live animals, conditional inactivation of Foxa2 or Pten alone in endometrial epithelium did not result in ECs, but simultaneous inactivation of both genes resulted in lethal ECs with complete penetrance, establishing potent synergism between Foxa2 and PI3K signaling. Studies in tumor-derived cell lines and organoids highlighted additional invasion and cell growth phenotypes associated with malignant transformation and identified key mediators, including Myc and Cdh1. Transcriptome and cistrome analyses revealed that FOXA2 broadly controls gene expression programs through modification of enhancer activity in addition to regulating specific target genes, rationalizing its tumor suppressor functions. By integrating results from our cell lines, organoids, animal models, and patient data, our findings demonstrated that FOXA2 is an endometrial tumor suppressor associated with aggressive disease and with shared commonalities among its roles in endometrial function and carcinogenesis.

Project description:Neuroendocrine (NE) carcinoma and NE differentiation (NED) of human prostate tumor are hallmarks of aggressive human prostate cancer. Here we reveal that HIF-1a cooperation with FoxA2, a transcription factor expressed in NE tissue, is required for determining NE phenotype. Reduced HIF-1a expression, as seen in the E3 ubiquitin ligase Siah2 mutant mice, converted NE tumors to atypical hyperplasia when crossed with the TRAMPTg mice. Significantly, HIF-1a cooperation with FoxA2 enables the trans-activation of select HRE-regulated genes such as Hes6, Plod2 and Jmjd1a, whose expression is notably higher in metastatic prostate adenocarcinomas. Our findings disclose the requirement for spatial and timely regulation of FoxA2 and HIF-1a for NE/NED in prostate tumors. 12 prostate tumor samples were analyzed during normoxia and hypoxia, with different FOX/HIF genotypes. The pivotal samples are represented as duplicates.

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) are dosage-sensitive master regulators of gene expression, with haploinsufficiency frequently leading to life-threatening disease. Numerous mechanisms have evolved to tightly regulate the expression and activity of TFs at the transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational levels. A subset of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is spatially correlated with transcription factors in the genome, but the regulatory relationship between these lncRNAs and their neighboring TFs is unclear. We identified a regulatory feedback loop between the TF Foxa2 and a downstream lncRNA, Falcor (Foxa2-adjacent long noncoding RNA). Foxa2 directly represses Falcor expression by binding to its promoter, while Falcor functions in cis to positively regulate the expression of Foxa2. In the lung, loss of Falcor is sufficient to lead to chronic inflammatory changes and defective repair after airway epithelial injury. Moreover, disruption of the Falcor-Foxa2 regulatory feedback loop leads to altered cell adhesion and migration, in turn resulting in chronic peribronchial airway inflammation and goblet cell metaplasia. These data reveal that the lncRNA Falcor functions within a regulatory feedback loop to fine-tune the expression of Foxa2, maintain airway epithelial homeostasis, and promote regeneration.

Project description:We report the application of bulk RNA sequencing to RNA extracted from lung tissue and magnetic bead isolated EpCAM+ lung epithelial cells and CD45+ lung immune cells from mice. Heterozygous serine palmitory transferase subunit 2 , Sptlc2+/- (SPT) and Sptlc2+/+ controls (WT) mice were included. Differential gene expression analysis reveals genes within the sphingolipid synthesis pathway are similarly expressed in the lung and lung epithelial cells of RV infected WT mice and SPT mice (both infected and uninfected).
