Project description:The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene (WT1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that plays important roles during development of several organs including metanephric kidneys. A number of WT1 target genes have been identified, but the detailed mechanisms by which WT1 orchestrates renal development remain elusive. To identify WT1 target genes relevant to development, genome-wide expression profiling was performed using oligonucleotide microarrays representing 39,000 human transcripts Keywords: Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) gene, -KTS isoform; time course

Project description:Background: Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) acts as an oncogene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A naturally occurring alternative splice event between zinc fingers three and four, removing or retaining three amino acids (KTS), is believed to change the DNA binding affinity of WT1. Altered balance between WT1 -KTS and WT1 +KTS expression associates with poor prognosis in AML. Methods: We characterized the DNA binding patterns of biotin-tagged WT1 -KTS and WT1 +KTS in K562 cells by chromatin immunoprecipitation and deep sequencing (ChIP-seq). Results: We discovered that WT1 -KTS preferentially binds near transcription start sites (TSS) and in enhancers, whereas WT1 +KTS binds within gene bodies. Additionally, we observed a significant overlap between WT1 -KTS and WT1 +KTS target genes, despite the binding sites being distinct. Motif analysis showed enrichment of two TRANSFAC derived motif matrices within peaks for both isoforms, and enrichment of several previously published WT1 motifs which, however, differed between isoforms. Additional analyses showed that WT1 -KTS and WT1 +KTS target genes are transcribed to a higher extent than non-targets, and involved in cell proliferation, cell death, and development. Conclusions: Our results provide the first evidence that WT1 -KTS and WT1 +KTS bind principally different regions of the genome, yet share target genes. Our results indicate isoform-specific regulation of processes related to cell proliferation and differentiation, consistent with the involvement of WT1 in AML.

Project description:Gain-of-function mutations in exon 3 of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) are specific for Wilms' tumors that have lost WT1, but 50% of WT1-mutant cases lack such "hot spot" mutations. To ask whether stabilization of beta-catenin might be essential after WT1 loss, and to identify downstream target genes, we compared expression profiles in WT1-mutant versus WT1 wild-type Wilms' tumors. Supervised and nonsupervised hierarchical clustering of the expression data separated these two classes of Wilms' tumor. The WT1-mutant tumors overexpressed genes encoding myogenic and other transcription factors (MOX2, LBX1, SIM2), signaling molecules (TGFB2, FST, BMP2A), extracellular Wnt inhibitors (WIF1, SFRP4), and known beta-catenin/TCF targets (FST, CSPG2, CMYC). Beta-Catenin/TCF target genes were overexpressed in the WT1-mutant tumors even in the absence of CTNNB1 exon 3 mutations, and complete sequencing revealed gain-of-function mutations elsewhere in the CTNNB1 gene in some of these tumors, increasing the overall mutation frequency to 75%. Lastly, we identified and validated a novel direct beta-catenin target gene, GAD1, among the WT1-mutant signature genes. These data highlight two molecular classes of Wilms' tumor, and indicate strong selection for stabilization of beta-catenin in the WT1-mutant class. Beta-Catenin stabilization can initiate tumorigenesis in other systems, and this mechanism is likely critical in tumor formation after loss of WT1.

Project description:The t(11;22)(p13;q12) translocation is pathognomonic for the highly aggressive desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT). The translocation fuses exon 7 of the EWS gene to exon 8 of the WT1 gene (EWS/WT1). Two splice variants of EWS/WT1 exist, arising from the presence (+KTS) or absence (-KTS) of three amino acids: lysine, threonine and serine between zinc fingers 3 and 4. To investigate the oncogenic properties of both isoforms of EWS/WT1, we over-expressed EWS/WT1 in untransformed murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). We demonstrate that neither isoform of EWS/WT1 is sufficient to transform wild type MEFs, however the oncogenic potential of both isoforms is unmasked by the loss of p53. Expression of EWS/WT1 in MEFs lacking at least one allele of p53 resulted in enhanced cell proliferation, clonogenic survival and anchorage-independent growth. In addition EWS/WT1 expression in wild type MEFs attenuated several p53-dependent responses, including cell cycle arrest after irradiation and daunorubicin induced apoptosis. We show that DSRCT commonly have copy number amplification of MDM2 and MDMX, suggesting loss of p53 function in the tumours. Expression of either isoform of EWS/WT1 in MEFs induced characteristic mRNA expression profiles, including up-regulation of canonical Wnt pathway signaling. This was validated in cell lines and in a series of DSCRT, which confirmed canonical Wnt pathway activation in the tumours. We show for the first time that both isoforms of EWS/WT1 have oncogenic potential and that in addition to co-operating with loss of p53 function can also further attenuate p53-mediated responses. In addition we provide the first link between EWS/WT1 and Wnt pathway signaling. These data provide novel insights into the function of the EWS/WT1 fusion protein which characterizes DSCRT. Four independently generated pools of wild type MEFs were infected with tetracycline repressible EWS/WT1+KTS, EWS/WT1-KTS or GFP, selected with hygromycin and protein expression confirmed. Four GFP, four KTS+ and four KTS- samples were hybridized to the Ilumina BeadChip.
