Coordinated Cross-Talk Between the Myc and Mlx Networks in Liver Regeneration and Neoplasia

ABSTRACT: The Myc bHLH-ZIP transcription factor is deregulated by most cancers. As a heterodimer with the bHLH-ZIP protein Max, Myc regulates target genes that contribute to metabolism and proliferation. This “Myc Network” cross-talks with the “Mlx Network” comprised of the Myc-like bHLH-ZIP proteins MondoA and ChREBP and the Max-like bHLH-ZIP protein Mlx. This “Extended Myc Network” regulates genes with both common and distinct functions. We have generated hepatocytes lacking Mlx (mlxKO) or Mlx+Myc (double KO or DKO) and quantified their abilities to replace dying hepatocytes in a murine model of Type I tyosinemia. We find that this function deteriorates as the Extended Myc Network is progressively dismantled. Genes dysregulated in mlxKO and DKO hepatocytes include those involved in translation and mitochondrial function. The Myc and Mlx Networks thus cross-talk with the latter playing a disproportionate role. mycKO and mlxKO mice also develop age-dependent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and mlxKO and DKO mice develop extensive hepatic adenomatosis not observed in wild-type, mycKO, chrebpKO or mycKOxchrebpKO mice. In addition to demonstrating cooperation between the Myc and Mlx Networks, this study reveals the latter to be more important in maintaining metabolic and translational homeostasis, while concurrently serving as a suppressor of benign tumorigenesis.

Cooperative Regulation of Normal and Neoplastic Hepatocyte Proliferation by Myc and ChREBP

Project description:By analogy to the c-Myc (Myc)/Max family of transcription factors, there also exists a “parallel” network of structurally and functionally related bHLH-ZIP proteins with certain Myc-like functions. Two closely related “Myc-like” paralogs termed Mondo A and MondoB/ChREBP (ChREBP) positively regulate gene expression in heterodimeric association with the Max-like factor Mlx. Myc is necessary to support liver cancer cell growth but not for normal hepatocyte proliferation. Here, we investigated the role for ChREBP and its relationship to Myc in these processes. Unlike Myc, ChREBP loss conferred a marked proliferative disadvantage to normal hepatocytes as did the loss of both ChREBP and Myc. In addition, hepatoblastomas (HBs) originating in myc-/-, chrebp-/- or myc-/-/chrebp-/- backgrounds grew significantly more slowly. Metabolic studies performed on livers and HBs arising in all three backgrounds showed marked differences in oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid -oxidation (FAO) and the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase. RNAseq of livers and HBs indicated seven distinct forms of target transcript regulation. Gene ontology analysis indicated that many transcripts de-regulated in the chrebp-/- background encode enzymes functioning in glycolysis, the TCA cycle and - and-FAO whereas those in myc-/- background encode enzymes for glycolysis, glutaminolysis and sterol biosynthesis. Transcript de-regulation in the double knockout group was similar but also included those involved in peroxisomal - and -FAO. Finally, we identified cooperative positive regulation by Myc and ChREBP of virtually all ribosomal protein genes. Our findings define the global proliferative, metabolic and transcriptional roles for the more general “Extended Myc Network” under both normal and neoplastic conditions.

The Myc-Like Mlx Network Impacts Aging and Metabolism

Project description:The “Mlx” and “Myc” Networks share many common gene targets. Just as Myc’s activity depends upon its heterodimerization with Max, the Mlx Network requires that the Max-like factor Mlx associate with the Myc-like factors MondoA or ChREBP. We show here that body-wide Mlx inactivation, like that of Myc, accelerates numerous aging-related phenotypes pertaining to body habitus and metabolism. The deregulation of numerous aging-related Myc target gene sets is also accelerated. Among other functions, these gene sets often regulate ribosomal and mitochondrial structure and function, genomic stability and aging. Whereas “MycKO” mice have an extended lifespan because of a lower cancer incidence, “MlxKO” mice have normal lifespans and a somewhat higher cancer incidence. Like Myc, Mlx, MondoA and ChREBP expression and that of their target genes, deteriorate with age in both mice and humans, underscoring the importance of life-long and balanced cross-talk between the two Networks to maintain normal aging.

Disruption of Multiple Overlapping Functions Following Step-Wise Inactivation of the Extended Myc Network

Project description:Myc, a member of the Myc Network, supervises proliferation, metabolism and ribosomal function. The Mlx Network cross-talks with the Myc Network and regulates overlapping functions. We describe here the consequences of conditional Myc and/or Mlx gene knockouts (KOs) in primary and immortalized murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). MycKO and MycKOxMlxKO “double KO” (DKO) primary MEFs, but not MlxKO MEFs, rapidly growth-arrested and displayed features of aging and senescence. In DKO MEFs, these were transient, indicating that Mlx was necessary to maintain them. KO MEFs deregulated transcripts pertaining to mitochondrial and ribosomal structure and function, cell cycle, aging, senescence and DNA damage. The expression of DNA damage-related proteins was also abnormal. Immortalized KO MEFs remained proliferation-competent but demonstrated differential sensitivities to genotoxic agents. Immortalized MycKO MEFs spontaneously developed tetraploidy that was Mlx-dependent. Different aspects of MEF aging, senescence and DNA damage responses are therefore differentially regulated by the Myc and Mlx Networks.

Local Genomic Features Predict the Distinct and Overlapping Binding Patterns of the bHLH‐Zip Family Oncoproteins MITF and MYC‐MAX

Project description:MITF and MYC are well‐known oncoproteins and members of the basic helix‐loop‐helix leucine zipper (bHLH‐Zip) family of transcription factors (TFs) recognizing hexamer E‐box motifs. MITF and MYC not only share the core binding motif, but are also the two most highly expressed bHLH‐Zip transcription factors in melanocytes, raising the possibility that they may compete for the same binding sites in select oncogenic targets. Mechanisms determining the distinct and potentially overlapping binding modes of these critical oncoproteins remain uncharacterized. We introduce computational predictive models using local sequence features, including a boosted convolutional decision tree framework, to distinguish MITF vs. MYC‐MAX binding sites with up to 80% accuracy genome wide. Select E‐box locations that can be bound by both MITF and MYC‐MAX form a separate class of MITF binding sites characterized by differential sequence content in the flanking region, diminished interaction with SOX10, higher evolutionary conservation, and less tissue‐specific chromatin organization.

Transcriptional and genomic occupancy profiling from MLX WT and MLX knockout mouse tissues.

Project description:We generated mice null for MAX-like Protein X (MLX), encoded by Mlx. All male mice are sterile. We profiled testes tissue from WT versus KO mice by RNA-Seq. We performed ChIP-Seq on WT and KO testes for MLX and MAX, as well as ChIP-Seq for MLX and MAX from primary B220+ splenic B cells, and ChIP-Seq for MLX, MAX and MNT from 3T3 cell lines derived from WT and KO embryos.

Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors MYC-MAX and CLOCK-BMAL1 associate with histones for E-box access

Project description:Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TF) recognize E-boxes (CANNTG) and include over 100 members. Here we investigated how chromatinised E-boxes are engaged by two structurally diverse bHLH family members; the proto-oncogene MYC-MAX and the circadian TF, CLOCK-BMAL1. Both bind E-boxes preferentially near the nucleosomal entry/exit sites. Structural studies with artificial or endogenous nucleosome sequences illustrate that MYC-MAX/CLOCK-BMAL1 trigger DNA release from histones to gain access. The CLOCK-BMAL1 PAS dimerization domains engage the histone-octamer disc atop the H2A/H2B acidic patch, an interaction critical for circadian cycling. Binding of tandem E-boxes at endogenous DNA sequences is similarly achieved through direct interactions between two CLOCK-BMAL1 protomers and histones. At internal E-boxes, the MYC-MAX leucine zipper can also interact with histones H2B/H3, and its binding is indirectly enhanced by OCT4 elsewhere on the nucleosome. The nucleosomal E-box position and the type of bHLH dimerisation domain jointly determine the histone contact, the affinity, and the degree of competition/cooperativity with other nucleosome-bound factors.

Stabilization of the Max homodimer with a small molecule attenuates Myc-driven transcription

Project description:The transcription factor Max is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLHLZ) protein that forms homodimers or interacts with other bHLHLZ proteins, including Myc and Mxd proteins. Among this dynamic network of interactions, the Myc/Max heterodimer has crucial roles in regulating normal cellular processes, but its transcriptional activity is deregulated in a majority of human cancers. Despite this significance, the arsenal of high-quality chemical probes to interrogate these proteins remains limited. We utilized small molecule microarrays (SMMs) to identify compounds that bind Max in a mechanistically unbiased manner. We discovered the asymmetric polycyclic lactam, KI-MS2-008, which stabilizes the Max homodimer while reducing Myc protein and Myc-regulated transcript levels. KI-MS2-008 also decreases viable cancer cell growth in a Myc-dependent manner and suppresses tumor growth in vivo. This approach demonstrates the feasibility of modulating Max with small molecules and supports altering Max dimerization as an alternative approach to targeting Myc.

Sugar responsive regulatory network that controls organismal carbohydrate, amino acid and lipid homeostasis [set 2]

Project description:Maintaining metabolic homeostasis in response to fluctuating nutrient intake requires intricate coordination between tissues of multicellular animals. The insulin/glucagon axis is well known to hormonally coordinate organism-wide carbohydrate metabolism. The ChREBP/Mondo-Mlx transcription factors regulate glycolytic and lipogenic genes locally in hepatocytes and adipocytes, but its role in systemic metabolic homeostasis has remained poorly understood. We demonstrate that Mondo-Mlx controls gene activity in several peripheral tissues of Drosophila melanogaster, where it regulates nutrient digestion and transport as well as carbohydrate, amino acid and lipid metabolism. In addition to directly regulating metabolic genes Mondo-Mlx controls a regulatory network composed of the Activin ligand Dawdle and GLI similar transcription factor Sugarbabe. Dawdle and Sugarbabe contribute to the regulation of a subset of Mondo-Mlx-dependent processes, including sugar-induced de novo synthesis of serine and fatty acids. In summary, our study establishes Mondo-Mlx sugar sensor as a master regulator of organismal metabolic homeostasis upon sugar feeding.
