A Yap-dependent transcriptional program directs cell migration for embryo axis assembly

ABSTRACT: The assembly of the embryo’s primary axis is a fundamental landmark to establish the vertebrate body plan. Although the morphogenetic movements directing cell convergence towards the midline have been described extensively, little is known on how gastrulating cells interpret mechanical cues. Yap proteins are well-known transcriptional mechanotransducers, yet their role in gastrulation remains elusive. Here we show that the double knockout of yap and its paralog yap1b in medaka results in an axis assembly failure, due to reduced displacement and migratory persistence in mutant cells. We identified genes involved in cytoskeletal organization and cell-ECM adhesion, rather than in germ layers specification, as direct Yap targets. Dynamic analysis of live sensors and downstream targets reveal that Yap is acting in migratory cells, in which promotes cortical actin and focal adhesions recruitment. Our results indicate that Yap coordinates a mechano-regulatory loop essential to maintain the directed cell migration sustaining embryo axis development.

p120-catenin differentially regulates cell migration by Rho-dependent intracellular and secreted signals

Project description:The Adherens Junction protein p120-catenin is implicated in the regulation of cadherin stability, cell migration and inflammatory responses in mammalian epithelial tissues. How these events are coordinated to promote wound repair is not understood. We show that p120-catenin regulates the intrinsic migratory properties or primary mouse keratinocytes, but also influences the migratory behavior of neighboring cells by secreted signals. These events are rooted in the ability of p120-catenin to regulate RhoA-GTPase activity, which leads to a two-tiered control of cell migration. One restrains cell motility via increase of actin stress fibers, reduction in integrin turnover, and an increase in focal adhesions robustness. The other is coupled to the secretion of inflammatory cytokines including Interleukin-24, which causally enhances randomized cell movements. Taken together, our results indicate that p120-RhoA-GTPase-mediated signaling can differentially regulate the migratory behavior of epidermal cells, which has potential implications for chronic wound responses and cancer.

Smooth muscle-specific MMP17 (MT4-MMP) defines the intestinal ECM niche

Project description:Smooth muscle is an essential component of the intestine, both to maintain its structure and produce peristaltic and segmentation movements. However, very little is known about other putative roles that smooth muscle may have. Here, we show that smooth muscle is the dominant supplier of BMP antagonists, which are niche factors that are essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance. Furthermore, muscle-derived factors can render epithelium reparative and fetal-like, which includes heightened YAP activity. Mechanistically, we find that the matrix metalloproteinase MMP17, which is exclusively expressed by smooth muscle, is required for intestinal epithelial repair after inflammation- or irradiation-induced injury. Furthermore, we provide evidence that MMP17 affects intestinal epithelial reprogramming indirectly by cleaving the matricellular protein PERIOSTIN, which itself is able to activate YAP. Together, we identify an important signaling axis that firmly establishes a role for smooth muscle as a modulator of intestinal epithelial regeneration and the intestinal stem cell niche.

YAP regulates cell mechanics by controlling focal adhesion assembly

Project description:Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ act as on-off mechanosensing switches by sensing modifications in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanics. The regulation of their activity has been described so far through a hierarchical model in which elements of Hippo pathway are under the control of Focal Adhesions (FAs). Here we unveiled the molecular mechanism by which cell spreading and RhoA GTPase control FA formation through YAP to stabilize the anchorage of actin cytoskeleton to cell membrane. This mechanism required YAP co-transcriptional function and involved the activation of genes encoding for integrins and FA docking proteins. Tuning YAP transcriptional activity led to the modification of cell mechanics, force development, adhesion strength, determined cell shaping, migration and differentiation. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of YAP mechanosensing activity and qualify Hippo effector as the key determinant of cell mechanics in response to ECM cues.

Regan2020 - Adhesion_CIP_Migration_CellCycle_Apoptosis_v2

Project description:This 121-node Boolean regulatory network model that synthesizes mechanosensitive signaling that links anchorage and matrix stiffness to proliferation and migration, and cell density to contact inhibition. It can reproduce anchorage dependence and anoikis, detachment-induced cytokinesis errors, the effect of matrix stiffness on proliferation, and contact inhibition of proliferation and migration by two mechanisms that converge on the YAP transcription factor. In addition, this model offers testable predictions related to cell cycle-dependent sensitivity to anoikis, the molecular requirements for abolishing contact inhibition, substrate stiffness-dependent expression of the catalytic subunit of PI3K, heterogeneity of migratory and non-migratory phenotypes in sub-confluent monolayers, and linked inhibition but semi-independent induction of proliferation versus migration as a function of cell density and mitogenic stimulation. The model is an extended version of the growth signaling, cell cycle and apoptosis model published in Sizek et al, PLoS Comp. Biol. 15(3): e1006402, 2019.

The ShcA adapter protein cooperates with LPP to mediate adhesion dynamics and invadopodia formation

Project description:ShcA and Lipoma Preferred Partner (LPP) are mediators of TGFβ-induced breast cancer cell migration and invasion. Reduced expression of either protein results in diminished breast cancer lung metastasis. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy reveals that TGFβ enhances the assembly and disassembly rates of paxillincontaining adhesions in a ShcA-dependent manner through the phosphorylation of specific ShcA tyrosine residues (Y239/Y240/Y313). Using a BioID proximity labeling approach, we show that ShcA exists in a complex with a variety of actin cytoskeletal proteins, including paxillin and LPP. Consistent with a functional interaction between ShcA and LPP, TGFβ-induced LPP localization to adhesions depends on ShcA. Once localized to cellular adhesions, LPP is required to mediate TGFβ-induced cell migration and adhesion dynamics. Mutations that impair LPP localization to adhesions (mLIM1) or interaction with the actin cytoskeleton via α-actinin (ΔABD) abrogate migratory responses to TGFβ. Live-cell TIRF microscopy reveals that ShcA clustering at the cell membrane precedes LPP recruitment. We hypothesize that ShcA promotes the formation of small, dynamic adhesions in the presence of TGFβ by acting as a nucleator of focal complex formation. Finally, we define a previously unknown function for ShcA in the formation of invadopodia, a process that also requires LPP. Our data reveals that ShcA controls the formation and function of two key cellular structures required for breast cancer metastasis.

setdb2 knockdown microarray

Project description:As the primary driving forces of gastrulation, convergence and extension (C&E) movements lead to a medio-lateral narrowing and an anterior-posterior elongation of the embryonic body axis. Histone methylation as a post-translational modification plays a critical role for early embryonic development, but its functions on C&E movements remaine largely unknown. Here, we uncover that knockdown of setdb2, a SET domain-containing protein possessing potential histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity, induces abnormal C&E movements. Then, we perform genome-wide gene expression profiling of zebrafish in 6h control embryos and setdb2 morphant embryos to address the downstream target of setdb2 gene.

Regulation of Hippo/YAP axis by CXCR7 in the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer

Project description:The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and tumorigenesis. The dys-regulation of Hippo/YAP axis is vastly observed in gastric cancer, while the effective therapeutic targets for Hippo/YAP axis are still not clear. It is important and urgent to identify reliable drug targets and the underlying mechanisms, which could inhibit the activity of Hippo/YAP axis and gastric cancer progression. In our current study, we demonstrate the membrane receptor CXCR7 (C-X-C chemokine receptor 7) is an important modulator for Hippo/YAP axis. The activation of CXCR7 could stimulate gastric cancer cell progression through Hippo/YAP axis in vitro and in vivo, while pharmaceutical inhibition of CXCR7 via ACT-1004-1239 could block the tumorigenesis in gastric cancer. Molecular studies reveal that the activation of CXCR7 could dephosphorylate YAP, facilitate YAP nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activation in gastric cancer. CXCR7 functions via G-protein Gαq/11 and Rho GTPase to activate YAP activity. Interestingly, ChIP assay shows that YAP could bind to the promoter region of CXCR7 and facilitate its gene transcription, which indicates CXCR7 is both the upstream signaling and downstream target for Hippo/YAP axis in gastric cancer. In general, we identified a novel positive feedback loop between CXCR7 and Hippo/YAP axis, while blockade of CXCR7 could be a plausible strategy for gastric cancer.

CXCL12 and MYC control energy metabolism to support adaptive responses after kidney injury

Project description:Kidney injury is a common complication of severe disease. Here, we report that injuries of the zebrafish embryonal kidney are rapidly repaired by a migratory response in 2-, but not in 1-day-old embryos. Gene expression profiles between these two developmental stages identify cxcl12a and myca as candidates involved in the repair process. Zebrafish embryos with cxcl12a, cxcr4b, or myca deficiency display repair abnormalities, confirming their role in response to injury. In mice with a kidney-specific knockout, Cxcl12 and Myc gene deletions suppress mitochondrial metabolism and glycolysis, and delay the recovery after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Probing these observations in zebrafish reveal that inhibition of glycolysis slows fast migrating cells and delays the repair after injury, but does not affect the slow cell movements during kidney development. Our findings demonstrate that Cxcl12 and Myc facilitate glycolysis to promote fast migratory responses during development and repair, and potentially also during tumor invasion and metastasis.

RNA-sequencing from miR-375 knockout and YAP overexpression lung carcinoid (H727) cells.

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data for miR-375 knockout and YAP overexpression lung carcinoid cells (H727). Lung carcinoids are variably aggressive and mechanistically understudied neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Here, we identified and elucidated the function of a miR-375/yes-associated protein (YAP) axis in lung carcinoid (H727) cells. miR-375 and YAP are respectively high and low expressed in wild-type H727 cells. Following lentiviral CRISPR/Cas9-mediated miR-375 depletion, we identified distinct transcriptomic changes including dramatic YAP upregulation. Similarly, YAP overexpression resulted in distinct and partially overlapping transcriptomic changes, phenocopying the effects of miR-375 depletion in the same models as above. Pathways analysis and confirmatory real-time PCR studies of shared dysregulated targets indicate that this axis controls neuroendocrine related functions such as neural differentiation, exocytosis, and secretion. Taken together, we provide compelling evidence that a miR-375/YAP axis is a critical mediator of neuroendocrine differentiation and tumorigenesis in lung carcinoid cells.
