Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are products of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) and essential for mRNA translation and ultimately cell growth and proliferation. Whether and how individual tRNA genes are specifically regulated is not clear. Here, we report that SOX4, a well-known Pol II-dependent transcription factor that is critical for neurogenesis and reprogramming of somatic cells, also directly controls, unexpectedly, the expression of a subset of tRNA genes and therefore protein synthesis and proliferation of human glioblastoma cells. Genome-wide location analysis through chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing uncovers specific targeting of SOX4 to a subset of tRNA genes, including those for tRNAiMet Mechanistically, sequence-specific SOX4-binding impedes the recruitment of TATA box binding protein and Pol III to tRNA genes and thereby represses their expression. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated down-regulation of tRNAiMet greatly inhibits growth and proliferation of human glioblastoma cells. Conversely, ectopic tRNAiMet partially rescues SOX4-mediated repression of cell proliferation. Together, these results uncover a regulatory mode of individual tRNA genes to control cell behavior. Such regulation may coordinate codon usage and translation efficiency to meet the demands of diverse tissues and cell types, including cancer cells.

Project description:We knocked down SOX4 in T24 cell and created 3 cell lines: T24-scrambled, T24-SOX4-knockdown and T24-SOX4-rescue and compared gene expression changes SOX4 is a developmental transcription factor that is overexpressed in as many as 23% of bladder cancer patients, but the role of SOX4 in bladder cancer tumorigenesis is not well understood. Given SOX4’s many roles in embryonic development and context-dependent regulation of gene expression, we sought to understand SOX4’s contribution to bladder cancer and to elucidate SOX4 regulated genes that might contribute to tumorigenesis. We employed a CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) method to transcriptionally repress SOX4 expression in T24 bladder cancer cell lines, rescued these cell lines with lentivirally expressed SOX4, and performed whole genome expression profiling. SOX4 knockdown cells exhibited decreased invasive capabilities but no changes in migration or proliferation, while rescue with SOX4 lentiviral vector restored the invasive phenotype. Gene expression profiling revealed 173 high confidence SOX4 regulated genes

Project description:SOX4 is a critical developmental transcription factor in vertebrates and is required for precise differentiation and proliferation in multiple tissues. In addition, SOX4 is overexpressed in many human malignancies, but the precise role of SOX4 in cancer progression is not well understood. Here we have either eliminated SOX4 using siRNA or overexpressed a SOX4 cDNA and compared the gene expression patterns against control GFP transfections to identify SOX4 target genes. Data described in manuscript P. Liu et al., Cancer Res 46, 4011 (April 15, 2006) Experiment Overall Design: LNCaP prostate cancer cells were transfected with either a SOX4 cDNA, a pool of SOX4 siRNAs or a control GFP expression vector. Each transfection was performed in duplicate on two separate days. Total RNA was harvested 24 hours post-transfection

Project description:We identified the SOX4 transcription factor and integrin alpha V encoded by the ITGAV gene as important resistance mechanisms to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity of TNBC cells. Here, we performed RNA seq. analysis of SOX4 and ITGAV deficient (CRISPR knockout) BT549 human and 4T1 murine TNBC cells as compared to control edited counterparts. Additionally, we performed SOX4 specific ChIP-seq studies in BT549 human TNBC cells. The objective of the study was to identify the molecular regulators and signaling pathways that mediate resistance to T cell mediated immunity. GSEA analysis of RNA-seq data showed that the 'interferon response' represented one of the top pathways for genes upregulated in SOX4 or ITGAV edited compared to control TNBC cells. In contrast, gene sets associated with TGF beta and TNF alpha/NF kappa b were negatively enriched in both Sox4 and Itgav edited TNBC cells. Further analysis of RNA-seq data showed that SOX4 or ITGAV edited TNBC cells contained higher mRNA levels of many interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), including genes associated with important innate immune pathways such as RIG-I/MDA-5, cGAS - STING and the AIM2 inflammasome

Project description:The SOX4 gene belongs to a family of transcription factors and we previously unveiled SOX4 gene amplification and over-expression in a subset of lung cancers, indicating it may constitute a driver oncogene. Here, we searched for SOX4 transcriptional targets and investigate their involvement in lung development and carcinogenesis. We abrogated SOX4 expression in the NIH-H522 lung cancer cell line, carrying SOX4 amplification and over-expression, using an inducible short-hairpin system. Global analysis of gene expression identified about 90 genes down-regulated after SOX4 abrogation many of them related to neural development. We also demonstrated recruitment of SOX4 to many of these promoters, evidencing their nature as direct transcriptional targets of SOX4. Most of these transcripts were significantly increased in lung cancer cells with ectopic SOX4 over-expression and in lung tumors with high levels of SOX4. Conversely, many of them exhibited significant low expression levels in embryonic fibroblasts from Sox4-/- mice. We generated H522-derived cells that down-regulate SOX4 in an inducible manner. The H522 cells were transfected with a tetracycline (tet) repressor expression construct and a tet-repressor-controlled expression vector (tet-on) containing a shSOX4. An stable clone, H522Tr-shSOX4-1, which down-regulate SOX4 expression by 90%, 48 hours after adding doxycycline, was chosen for further analysis. To determine the gene expression profile characteristic of SOX4 depleted expression we compared the global gene expression of the parental H522 cells to the H522Tr-shSOX4-1 cells at 0, 24 and 96 hrs after inducing the shSOX4 with doxycycline using the Whole Human Genome Microarray from Agilent.
