Micropillar-based phenotypic screening platform uncovers involvement of HDAC2 in nuclear deformability

ABSTRACT: Nuclear deformability is an essential feature of migratory cells. Intercellular movement and migration in the extracellular space requires cells to squeeze through constrictions up to an order of magnitude smaller than the average diameter of their biggest and stiffest organelle. One field of study in which aberrant nuclear shapes and deformability are of particular interest is cancer, with abnormal nuclear structures described as a hallmark of the disease and an indicator of pathological progression, while increased nuclear deformability correlates with increased metastatic potential. While most previous studies focused on the description of nuclear morphology in adaptation to different 3D geometries, and mechanistic investigations of nuclear deformation have been limited to contributions of the cytoskeleton, we tap for the first time into the potential of micropillared substrates to serve as drug screening platforms for compounds that influence nuclear deformability. To this end, we combine a micropillared culture substrate with image analyses to test the effect of various drugs on nuclear deformability and successfully identify histone deacetylases inhibitors (iHDACs) as active compounds in nuclear shape regulation on micropillars. Our experiments show that HDAC-activity as gene transcription regulators appears to activate a nuclear shape-rescue program in osteosarcoma cells, providing an excellent platform for identification of novel nuclear shape-determinants and possibly druggable targets for anti-cancer therapies.

Fine control of nuclear confinement identifies a threshold deformation leading to lamina rupture and induction of specific genes

Project description:The quest to understand how the mechanical and geometrical environment of cells impacts their behaviour and fate has been a major force driving the recent development of new technologies in cell biology research. Despite rapid advances in this field, many challenges remain in order to bridge the gap between the classical and simple cell culture plate and the biological reality of actual tissue. In tissues, cells have their physical space constrained by neighbouring cells and the extracellular matrix. Here, we propose a simple and versatile device to precisely and dynamically control this confinement parameter in cultured cells. We show that there is a precise threshold deformation above which the nuclear lamina breaks and reconstructs, whereas nuclear volume changes. We also show that different nuclear deformations correlate with the expression of specific sets of genes, including nuclear factors and classical mechano-transduction pathways. This versatile device thus enables the precise control of cell and nuclear deformation by confinement and the correlative study of the associated molecular events.

Uniacial Cyclic Stretching Promotes Chromatin Accessibility of Gene Loci Associated with Mesenchymal Stem Cells Morphogenesis and Osteogenesis

Project description:Our results showed that UCS induced cell reorientation and actin fibers realignment, and in turn caused nuclear reorientation and deformation. Furthermore, UCS promoted the expression of osteogenic and chondrogenic marker genes. Based on assay for transposase accessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq), gene loci with up-regulated chromatin accessibility under UCS were found associate with regulation of cell morphogenesis, ossification, and osteogenic differentiation signaling pathways. These findings demonstrated UCS increased the openness of gene loci associated with cell morphogenesis and osteogenesis as well as the corresponding transcription activities. Moreover, our findings also connect the changes in chromatin accessibility with cell reorientation, nuclear reorientation and deformation.

Deciphering Pre-existing and Induced 3D Genome Architecture Changes involved in Constricted Melanoma Migration (Hi-C)

Project description:Metastatic cancer cells traverse tight junctions that exert forces on their nucleus and the genomic contents within. Cancerous tumors are highly heterogeneous and not all cells within them can achieve such a feat. Here, we investigated what initial genome architecture characteristics favor the constricted migratory ability of cancer cells and which arise only after passage through multiple constrictions. We identified a cell surface protein (ITGB4) whose expression correlates with increased initial constricted migration ability in human melanoma A375 cells. Sorting out this subpopulation allowed us to identify cellular and nuclear features that pre-exist and favor migration, as well as alterations that only appear after cells have passed through constrictions. We identified specific genomic regions that experienced altered genome spatial compartment profiles only after constricted migration. Our study reveals 3D genome structure contributions to both selection and induction mechanisms of cell fate change during cancer metastasis.

YAP dysregulation triggers hypertrophy by CCN2 secretion and TGFβ uptake in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

Project description:Our research has demonstrated the following: (1) Confirmed that MYH7 mutations D239N, H251N, G256E lead to hypercontractility in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs); (2) Increase in YAP’s nuclear localization in both hiPSC-CMs and patient tissue with MYH7 HCM mutations; (3) A correlation between YAP's nuclear localization and enhanced force generation; (4) Nuclear deformation as a mechanism enabling YAP's nuclear entry and activation; (5) Transcriptomic changes resulting from positive and negative modifications in force generation; and (6) A distinctive paracrine hypertrophic signal reliant on cardiomyocyte-cardiac fibroblast crosstalk. Our unique insights to the intricacies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotypes hold the potential to provide mechanistic clarity, informing potential therapeutic strategies.

WDR5 activity regulates nuclear changes and migration of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells across confined spaces.

Project description:Purpose: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer and infiltration of leukemic cells is critical for disease progression and relapse. In spite of the canonical functions of epigenetics in transcription and DNA homeostasis, its contribution to the nuclear deformability of migrating leukemic cells remains unclear. The objective was to evaluate the role of WDR5 (a core subunit of the histone H3K4 methyltransferases) during leukemia cell migration. Experimental design: We used ALL cell lines and primary samples from patients to study their response and migration in 3D environments and how they extravasate in a mouse xenograft model. We also performed, biophysical, transcriptional and ChIP-sequencing analyses to determine the mechanism by which WDR5 controls ALL progression. Results: We observed that WDR5 activity is critical for ALL cell invasion into 3D collagen matrices. Notably, blocking WDR5 activity also decreased the extravasation of ALL cells in an in vivo model. We identified that 3D constrained conditions promoted H3K4 methylation in ALL cells that altered the global chromatin configuration and transcriptional changes related to cell cycle and DNA replication. WDR5 inhibition did not impair cell adhesion or cell response to chemokines; but we demonstrated that 3D conditions affected the deformation and biophysical behavior of the nucleus in ALL cells. Conclusions: We conclude that confined conditions have a fundamental role in ALL cell biology and provide novel molecular and biophysical mechanisms used by leukemia cells to disseminate. Targeting WDR5 might be a promising therapeutic strategy against ALL infiltration and dissemination.

Endothelial Cells from GvsHD Mouse

Project description:During inflammation immune cells can induce endothelial activation and angiogenesis by cytokines and other mediators1,2. The inhibition of inflammation-associated angiogenesis ameliorates inflammatory diseases by reducing the recruitment of tissue infiltrating leukocytes3-5. However, there is limited evidence on initial mechanisms of both processes. Here we show that angiogenesis precedes leukocyte infiltration during graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and experimental colitis. A key feature of GVHD is the incompletely understood organ tropism to skin, liver and the intestines. We found that angiogenesis initiates GVHD in target organs whereas in non-target organs no angiogenesis and no subsequent inflammation occur, suggesting a previously unrecognized role of the endothelium in GVHD organ tropism. The initiation phase of angiogenesis was not associated to classical endothelial cell (EC) activation signs, such as Vegfa/VEGFR1+2 upregulation or increased adhesion molecule expression. In gene array- and proteomic analyses, we found significant metabolic and cytoskeleton changes in ECs leading to profoundly higher deformation in real-time deformability cytometry6. Our results demonstrate that metabolic changes trigger enhanced migratory and proliferating potential of ECs during the initiation of angiogenesis in GVHD target organs. Our study adds evidence to the hypothesis that angiogenesis can initiate inflammation and provides novel insight in pathophysiology and tropism of GVHD.
