Single cell RNA seq of adult mouse mammary gland using Fluidigm C1 platform.

ABSTRACT: Molecular/cellular events that associate with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are linked to acquisition of cancer stem cell traits, but whether EMT mechanisms regulate tissue epithelial cell fate and stem cell activity in vivo remains ambiguous. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we detect heterogeneous EMT gene expression in stem cell-containing mammary basal/myoepithelial cells that normally possess both epithelial and smooth muscle characteristics. We show that EMT-inducing transcription factor Zeb1 is required within the mammary epithelium for ductal branching morphogenesis and regeneration, and that it promotes basal cell fate and regulates stem cell proliferation dynamics. We provide genetic and molecular evidence for EMT-dependent and -independent mechanisms of Zeb1 function, and show that Zeb1 cooperates with YAP to directly activate targets that inhibit Wnt signaling or control cell cycle. Together, our findings underscore Zeb1-mediated EMT control in governing mammary basal cell fate and proliferative activity, but with an interesting turn that involves mechanisms beyond EMT.

MS-based quantitative proteomic analysis of ribosomal fractions from wild-type and Zeb1-overexpressing human mammary epithelial cell

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) involves profound changes in cell morphology, driven by transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming. However, it emerges that translation and the ribosome composition play also key role in establishing physio-pathological phenotypes. Using genome-wide analyses, we report significant rearrangement of the translational landscape and machinery during EMT. Specifically, a mesenchymal cell line overexpressing the EMT transcription factor ZEB1 shows alterations in translational reprogramming and fidelity. Considering the change in translational activity of ZEB1-overexpressing mesenchymal cells, including in fidelity activity, we sought for changes in ribosome composition. We thus performed a riboproteome approach, i.e., mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomic analysis of purified cytoplasmic ribosomes to highlight any change in relative amount of individual ribosomal proteins between wild-type and ZEB1-overexpressing human mammary epithelial cells.

Identification of Ovol2 binding regions in HC11 cells

Project description:Epithelial cells possess remarkable plasticity, having the ability to become mesenchymal cells through alterations in adhesion and motility (epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT). Recent studies suggest that EMT endows differentiated epithelial cells with stem cell traits, posing the interesting question of how epithelial plasticity is properly restricted to ensure epithelial differentiation during tissue morphogenesis. Here we identify zinc-finger transcription factor Ovol2 as a key suppressor of EMT of mammary epithelial cells. Epithelia-specific deletion of Ovol2 completely arrests mammary ductal morphogenesis, and depletes epithelial stem/progenitor cell reservoirs. Further, Ovol2-deficient epithelial cells undergo EMT in vivo to become non-epithelial cell types, and that Ovol2 directly represses key EMT inducers such as Zeb1 and regulates stem/progenitor cell responsiveness to TGF-beta. We also provide evidence for a suppressive role of Ovol2 in breast cancer progression. Our findings underscore the critical importance of exquisitely regulating epithelial plasticity to balance stemness with epithelial differentiation in development and cancer. We report ChIPseq data illustrating Ovol2 genome-wide targets in mouse mammary epithelial cells, suggesting that Ovol2 regulates a plethora of genes associated with the EMT process. Immunoprecipitated samples from HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells with antibodies against Ovol2 and control IgG respectively were used for ChIP-seq experiments.

Effect of GRHL2 in HMLE+Twist-ER+4-OHT cells

Project description:Grainyhead genes are involved in wound healing and developmental neural tube closure. In light of the high degree of similarity between the epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) occurring in wound healing processes and the cancer stem cell-like compartment of tumors, including TGF-β-dependence, we investigated the role of a Grainyhead gene (GRHL2) in oncogenic EMT. Grainyhead was specifically down-regulated in the claudin-low subclass of mammary tumors and in the basal-B subclass of breast cancer cell lines. Functionally, GRHL2 suppressed TGF-β-induced, Twist-induced or spontaneous EMT, enhanced anoikis-sensitivity, and suppressed mammosphere generation in mammary epithelial cells. These effects were mediated, in part, by its suppression of ZEB1 expression, through direct repression of the ZEB1 promoter. GRHL2 also inhibited Smad-mediated transcription, and up-regulated mir200b/c as well as the TGF-β receptor antagonist, BMP2. The expression of GRHL2 in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 triggered a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition and sensitized the cells to anoikis. These results indicate that GRHL2 is a suppressor of the oncogenic EMT. 3 biologic replicates for each cell line. Comparison of HMLE+Twist-ER cells expressing GRHL2/pMIG vs. HMLE+Twist-ER cells expressing empty pMIG.

Gene expression analysis of MDA MB 231 basal type breast cancer cells with shRNA mediated control (GFP) or ZEB1 knockdown

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process in development and disease. If aberrantly activated it is a trigger for tumour progression and metastasis (Thiery et al 2009 Cell). It is now known that EMT activation is also associated with the maintenance of stem-cell properties (Mani et al. 2008 Cell). Since Zinc-finger enhancer binding transcription factor 1 (ZEB1) is a crucial EMT activator, we analyzed the changes in the gene expression profile that accompany shRNA mediated loss of ZEB1 in MDA MB 231 basal type breast cancer cells. MDA MB 231 is a cell line that exhibits mesenchymal characteristics, but reverts to an epithelial phenotype upon ZEB1 knock down (Spaderna et al. 2008 Cancer Research). MDA MB 231 cells were stably transfected with control (GFP) or ZEB1 shRNA. Upon puromycin selection, single cell clones were picked and characterized. Cells from two control versus two ZEB1 knockdown clones were harvested, total RNA was isolated and processed to hybridization.

Expression data from isolated terminal end buds in mammary glands with or without Ovol2 deletion

Recent studies suggest that EMT endows differentiated epithelial cells with stem cell traits, posing the interesting question of how epithelial plasticity is properly restricted to ensure epithelial differentiation during tissue morphogenesis.

We also provide evidence for a suppressive role of Ovol2 in breast cancer progression. Our findings underscore the critical importance of exquisitely regulating epithelial plasticity to balance stemness with epithelial differentiation in development and cancer. TEBs from control and conditional Ovol2-knockout mammary glands were physically isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. In order to identify primary changes, we analyzed TEBs from 24-25-day-old mice, when morphological differences between control and Ovol2 SSKO were still minimal.
