CEBPG promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression by enhancing PI3K-AKT signaling

ABSTRACT: CCAAT enhancer binding proteins (CEBPs) have critical roles in the physiological and pathological processes. However, the characteristics and contributions of CEBPs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is unknown. Here, we showed that most of CEBPs (including CEBPA, CEBPB, CEBPE, CEBPG, CEBPZ) were upregulated and amplified in ESCC. Of note, high CEBPG expression is a prognostic factor for the poor survival of patients with ESCC. Moreover, the ESCC specific transcription factor TP63 activates the expression of CEBPG by directly binding to its distal enhancer. Functionally, CEBPG significantly enhances the proliferation and migration of ESCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, CEBPG enhances the PI3K-AKT signaling pathways through directly binding to distal enhancer or/and promoter of downstream target genes, such as CCND1, MYC and CDK2 etc. These findings provide important characteristics and contributions insights into CEBPs dysregulation in ESCC and elucidate a crucial role for CEBPG in the progression of ESCC, which highlights its potential therapeutic target for patients.

Whole genome expression data comparison between WT and Cebpg-/- MEFs.

Project description:C/EBPÎ² is an important regulator of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). Here we show that C/EBPÎ³, a heterodimeric partner of C/EBPÎ² whose biological functions are not well understood, inhibits cellular senescence. Cebpg-/- MEFs proliferated poorly, entered senescence prematurely, and expressed a pro-inflammatory gene signature, including elevated levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes whose induction by oncogenic stress requires C/EBPÎ². The senescence-suppressing activity of C/EBPÎ³ required its ability to heterodimerize with C/EBPÎ². Covalently linked C/EBPÎ² homodimers (Î²~Î²) inhibited the proliferation and tumorigenicity of RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells, activated SASP gene expression, and recruited the CBP co-activator in a Ras-dependent manner, whereas Î³~Î² heterodimers lacked these capabilities and efficiently rescued proliferation of Cebpg-/- MEFs. C/EBPÎ² depletion partially restored growth of C/EBPÎ³-deficient cells, indicating that the increased levels of C/EBPÎ² homodimers in Cebpg-/- MEFs inhibit proliferation. The proliferative functions of C/EBPÎ³ are not restricted to fibroblasts, as hematopoietic progenitors from Cebpg-/- bone marrow also displayed impaired growth. Furthermore, high CEBPG expression correlated with poorer clinical prognoses in several human cancers, and C/EBPÎ³ depletion decreased proliferation and induced senescence in lung tumor cells. Our findings demonstrate that C/EBPÎ³ neutralizes the cytostatic activity of C/EBPÎ² through heterodimerization, which prevents senescence and suppresses basal transcription of SASP genes. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were isolated at E13.5 and propagated. At passage 3 cells were plated with equal density and collected 48 hours later.

Project description:C/EBPβ is an important regulator of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). Here we show that C/EBPγ, a heterodimeric partner of C/EBPβ whose biological functions are not well understood, inhibits cellular senescence. Cebpg-/- MEFs proliferated poorly, entered senescence prematurely, and expressed a pro-inflammatory gene signature, including elevated levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes whose induction by oncogenic stress requires C/EBPβ. The senescence-suppressing activity of C/EBPγ required its ability to heterodimerize with C/EBPβ. Covalently linked C/EBPβ homodimers (β~β) inhibited the proliferation and tumorigenicity of RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells, activated SASP gene expression, and recruited the CBP co-activator in a Ras-dependent manner, whereas γ~β heterodimers lacked these capabilities and efficiently rescued proliferation of Cebpg-/- MEFs. C/EBPβ depletion partially restored growth of C/EBPγ-deficient cells, indicating that the increased levels of C/EBPβ homodimers in Cebpg-/- MEFs inhibit proliferation. The proliferative functions of C/EBPγ are not restricted to fibroblasts, as hematopoietic progenitors from Cebpg-/- bone marrow also displayed impaired growth. Furthermore, high CEBPG expression correlated with poorer clinical prognoses in several human cancers, and C/EBPγ depletion decreased proliferation and induced senescence in lung tumor cells.

Genome wide binding of ATF4 and CEBPG bZIP transcription factors in MEFs under amino acid deprived (AAD) conditions

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) controls cellular adaptations to nutrient deprivation, redox imbalances and ER stress. ISR genes are upregulated in stressed cells, primarily by the bZIP transcription factor ATF4 through its recruitment to cis-regulatory C/EBP:ATF response elements (CAREs) together with a dimeric partner of uncertain identity. Here we show that C/EBPγ:ATF4 heterodimers, but not C/EBPβ:ATF4 dimers, are the predominant CARE binding species in stressed cells. C/EBPγ and ATF4 associate with genomic CAREs in a mutually-dependent manner and co-regulate many ISR genes. By contrast, the C/EBP family members C/EBPβ and CHOP were largely dispensable for induction of stress genes. Cebpg−/− MEFs proliferate poorly and exhibit oxidative stress due to reduced glutathione levels and impaired expression of several glutathione biosynthesis pathway genes. Cebpg−/− mice (C57BL/6 background) display reduced body size and microphthalmia, similar to ATF4-null animals. In addition, C/EBPγ-deficient newborns die from atelectasis and respiratory failure which can be mitigated by in utero exposure to the anti-oxidant, N-acetyl-cysteine. Cebpg−/− mice on a mixed strain background show improved viability but, upon aging, develop significantly fewer malignant solid tumors compared to WT animals. Our findings identify C/EBPγ as a novel anti-oxidant regulator and an obligatory ATF4 partner that controls redox homeostasis in normal and cancerous cells.

Synthetic genomic reconstitution reveals principles of mammalian Hox cluster regulation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Precise Hox gene expression is crucial for embryonic patterning. Local transcription factor binding and distal enhancer elements have emerged as the major regulatory modes controlling the initiation and maintenance of Hox gene expression. However, quantifying their relative contributions has remained elusive. Here, we introduce ‘synthetic regulatory reconstitution’, a novel conceptual framework for studying gene regulation and apply it to the mammalian HoxA cluster. To measure the HoxA intrinsic regulatory potential and distal enhancer contributions, we de novo synthesized and delivered variant rat HoxA clusters (130-170 kilobases each) to an ectopic location in the mouse genome. We find that a minimal HoxA cluster lacking distal enhancers induces the appropriate gene set and establishes distinct chromatin domains in response to patterning signals, while distal enhancers are required for full transcriptional output. These results suggest that the genomically compact Hox clusters contain all the information to decode patterning signals and maintain positional information
