Project description:ERG (Ets Related Gene) is an ETS transcription factor that was originally described for its role in a number of human cancers. Our preliminary data demonstrate that ERG exhibits a highly EC restricted pattern of expression in cultured primary cells and several adult tissues including the heart, lung, and brain. In response to inflammatory stimuli, such as TNF-alpha, we observed a marked reduction of ERG expression in EC. To further define the role of ERG in the regulation of normal EC function we used RNA interference to knockdown ERG. Knockdown of ERG in human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC) using siRNA was associated with the reduction of a number known ERG targets. Keywords: SIRNA Functional Role

RWPE1 cells were transfected with GFP or GFP-ERG. VCAP cells were transfected with ERG lenti-shRNA or scramble shRNA. Transfections were performed in duplicate. Total cellular RNA was isolated with Trizol and quality analysed by the bioanalyser kit.

Project description:ERG has been identified as an essential factor for the function and maintenance of adult hematopoietic stem cells and high ERG expression is a negative prognostic marker for treatment outcome in AML. The molecular function of ERG and its interplay with other factors is however largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that ERG has cell type specific distributions in normal CD34+ myeloid progenitors and in AML cells and identify ERG as a potential pioneering protein for binding of oncofusion protein complexes. In addition, we identify H3 acetylation as the epigenetic mark preferentially associated with ERG binding. This intimate connection between ERG binding and H3 acetylation implies that one of the molecular strategies of the oncofusion proteins PML-RARa and AML1-ETO could involve the targeting of histone deacetylase activities to ETS factor bound hematopoietic regulatory sites.

Project description:Jurkat cells infected with pMIN-ERG+85 express different tagBFP levels. Using flow cytometry sorting, highest and lowest tagBFP cells (10%) were sorted. High tagBFP cells are functionaly have more leukemia stem cell proprties in comparision to low tagBFP cells. Utilizing sorted cells to identifiy differential transcriptomics between two subpopulations We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up/down-regulated genes that determine High tagBFP cells vs Low tagBFP

Project description:Precise vascular patterning is critical for normal growth and development. The ERG transcription factor drives Delta like ligand 4 (DLL4)/Notch signalling and is thought to act as pivotal regulators of endothelial cell (EC) dynamics and developmental angiogenesis. However, molecular regulation of ERG activity remains obscure. Using a series of EC specific Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK)-knockout (KO) and point-mutant FAK-knockin mice, we show that loss of ECFAK, its kinase activity or phosphorylation at FAK-Y397, but not FAK-Y861, reduces ERG and DLL4 expression levels together with concomitant aberrations in vascular patterning. Rapid Immunoprecipitation Mass Spectrometry of Endogenous Proteins identified that endothelial nuclear-FAK interacts with the de-ubiquitinase USP9x and the ubiquitin ligase TRIM25 enzymes. Further in silico analysis corroborates that ERG interacts with USP9x and TRIM25. Moreover, ERG levels are reduced in FAKKO ECs via a ubiquitin-mediated post-translational modification programme involving USP9x and TRIM25. Re-expression of ERG in vivo and in vitro rescues the aberrant vessel sprouting defects observed in the absence of ECFAK. Our findings identify ECFAK as a regulator of retinal vascular patterning by controlling ERG protein degradation via TRIM25/USP9x.

Project description:The TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion is the most frequent alteration observed in human prostate cancer but its role in disease progression is still debated. In this study, we uncovered a novel molecular mechanism promoting progression in ERG-fusion positive prostate cancer. We show that ERG is methylated by Enhancer of zest homolog 2 (EZH2) at a specific lysine residue (K362) located within the internal auto-inhibitory domain. Mechanistically, K362 mono- methylation prevents intra-domain interactions, favors DNA binding and promotes ERG transcriptional and oncogenic activity in cellular and mouse models. Consistently with the involvement in ERG oncogenesis, we found that K362 methylation was associated with disease progression in ERG transgenic mouse models and was enhanced by PTEN deficiency and AKT activation, which promoted EZH2 substrate switching from histone H3K27 to ERG. Conversely, EZH2 inhibition blocked ERG methylation along with ERG-induced transcriptional and phenotypic reprogramming in cell cultures and ERG/PTEN mice. We found that ERG and EZH2 co-occupy several genomic regions forming prevalently co-activating complexes. The network of ERG/EZH2 co-regulated target genes was enriched of functionally aggressive features and was associated preferentially with concomitant ERG gain and PTEN loss, castration-resistance and adverse clinical outcome in prostate cancer patients. Collectively, these findings identify ERG methylation as a novel post-translational modification sustaining disease progression in ERG-positive prostate cancers. Our data also provide an attractive rationale for developing molecularly targeted therapeutics to antagonize ERG oncogenic activity.
