PIP4K2B is mechanoresponsive and controls heterochromatin-driven nuclear softening through UHRF1

ABSTRACT: Phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P)-4-kinases (PIP4Ks) are stress-regulated phosphoinositide kinases able to phosphorylate PtdIns5P to PtdIns(4,5)P2. In cancer patients their expression is typically associated with bad prognosis. Among the three PIP4K isoforms expressed in mammalian cells, PIP4K2B is the one with more prominent nuclear localization. Here, we unveil the role for PIP4K2B as mechanosensor. PIP4K2B protein level, indeed, strongly decreases in cells growing on soft substrates. Its direct silencing or pharmacological inhibition, mimicking cell response to soft, triggers a concomitant reduction of the epigenetic regulator UHRF1 and induces changes in nuclear polarity, nuclear envelope tension and chromatin compaction. This substantial rewiring of the nucleus mechanical state drives YAP cytoplasmic retention and impairment of its activity as transcriptional regulator, finally leading to defects in cell spreading and motility. Since YAP signalling is essential for initiation and growth of human malignancies, our data suggest that potential therapeutic approaches targeting PIP4K2B could be beneficial in the control of the altered mechanical properties of cancer cells.

Transcriptome of CD4+ T cells from mice conditionally lacking YAP1 versus WT in different synthetic micromechanical environments

Project description:Upon immunogenic challenge, lymph nodes become mechanically stiff as immune cells activate and proliferate within their encapsulated environments, and with resolution, they reestablish a soft, baseline state. Here we show that sensing these mechanical changes in the microenvironment require the mechanosensor YAP. YAP is induced upon activation and suppresses metabolic reprogramming of effector T cells. Unlike in other cell types where YAP promotes proliferation, YAP in T cells suppresses proliferation in a stiffness-dependent manner by directly restricting the translocation of NFAT1 into the nucleus. YAP slows T-cell responses in systemic viral infections and retards effector T cells in autoimmune diabetes. Our work reveals a paradigm whereby tissue mechanics fine-tune adaptive immune responses in health and disease.

Mechanoresponsive genomic enhancers potentiate the cellular response to matrix stiffness [migration]

Project description:Epigenetic control of gene regulation and cell phenotype is influenced by changes in the mechanical microenvironment. Yet how mechanical forces precisely influence epigenetic state to regulate transcriptional responses remains largely unmapped. Here, we combine genome-wide epigenome profiling, epigenome editing, and phenotypic and single-cell RNA-seq screening to identify a sub-class of genomic enhancers that is responsive to the mechanical microenvironment. These enhancers regulate genes that act as key drivers for a variety of functional behaviors including apoptosis, mechanotransduction, proliferation, and migration. We find distinct patterns wherein subsets of mechano-enhancers can be preferentially active on either soft or stiff extracellular matrix (ECM) contexts. Epigenetic editing of these mechano-enhancers on rigid materials precisely tunes mechanically-induced gene expression to levels observed on softer materials, and broadly enables reprogramming of cellular response to the mechanical microenvironment. These mechanically-activated enhancers act as key signal transducers and may constitute a new class of targets that can be modulated to alter mechanically-driven disease states.

Proteomic analysis glomeruli of PAN-treated rats

Project description:Podocytes are terminally differentiated cells at the kidney filtration barrier and exposed to considerable mechanical strain. Podocyte injury causes morphological changes as a result of cytoskeletal reorganizations and failure of the filtration barrier. The transcriptional co-activators YAP/TAZ are tightly controlled through hippo signaling and responsive to mechanical cues. Here, we show that YAP is upregulated upon podocyte injury to activate YAP-dependent target genes. This activation preceded the development of proteinuria. In contrast, similar perturbations of cells in culture did not reveal increased YAP activity but showed a downregulation of YAP/TAZ activity when cells were grown on stiff surface. However, culture of cells on soft matrix or inhibition of stress fiber formation allowed recapitulation of the damage-induced YAP upregulation indicating a mechanotransduction-dependent mechanism of YAP hyper-activity. Interestingly, increased expression of YAP targets was confirmed in renal biopsies from patients with glomerular disease. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition of YAP/TEAD activity ameliorated glomerular disease in vivo. These data suggest that perturbation of the mechanosensitive hippo signaling pathway may be a therapeutic principle in podocyte disease.
