Effect of knocking down HOXB9 in gastric cancer cells

ABSTRACT: HOX proteins play fundamental roles during ontogenesis by interacting with other non-HOX gene-encoded partners and performing transcriptional functions, while aberrant activation of HOX members drives tumorigenesis. In this study, gastric cancer (GC) expression microarray data indicates that HOXB9 is a prominent upregulated HOX member in GC samples and is significantly associated with clinical outcomes and advanced TNM stages. However, the functional role of HOXB9 in GC remains contradictory in previous reports, and the regulatory mechanisms are elusive. By in silico and experimental analyses, we found HOXB9 was upregulated by a vital cell cycle-related transcription factor E2F1. Depleting HOXB9 causes G1 phase cell cycle arrest by downregulating CDK6 and a subset of cell cycle-related genes. Meanwhile, HOXB9 contributes to cell division and maintains the cytoskeleton in GC cells. PBX2 is a potential transcription factor for CDK6. We verified that HOXB9 interacts with PBX2 to form a heterodimer and upregulates CDK6. Knocking down CDK6 can phenocopy the tumor-suppressive effects of HOXB9 depletion. Inhibiting HOXB9 can enhance the anti-tumor effect of CDK6 inhibitors on GC growth. In conclusion, we elucidate the oncogenic role of HOXB9 and reveal CDK6 as its potent downstream modulator in GC.

Single-cell RNA-seq of tailbuds from control, Pbx1/Pbx2 compound and Pbx1/Pbx2 double-knockout E8.5/E9.0 embryos.

Project description:In vertebrates, body axis elongation is fuelled by bipotent neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs), which support the development of both spinal cord and paraxial mesoderm (PM). NMPs reside in the caudal lateral epiblast and tailbud, from where they sustain axial elongation. HOX transcription factors have been historically implicated in axial elongation, with their sequential activation playing a fundamental role in timing PM development. PBX1 and PBX2 are obligate anterior HOX cofactors, and therefore they represent prominent candidates for controlling the distinct response to individual HOX factors. To pinpoint the role of PBX proteins in the development of pre-somitic mesoderm, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on cells isolated from the tailbuds of control, Pbx1/Pbx2 compound (Pbx1/2-com) and Pbx1/Pbx2 double-mutant (Pbx1/2-DKO) embryos at embryonic days 8.5 and 9.0. Single cells from at least three embryos per genotype and stage were FACS-sorted into 384-well capture plates, and scRNA-seq was performed using MARS-seq (Jaitin D.A. et al., Science, 343, 776-779 (2014)). As a spike-in internal control for batch-effect correction, 71 EpiSCs cultivated in vitro were sorted into each plate, together with 311 cells from embryonic tailbuds. Two wells were left empty in each plate, as a no-cell control during data analysis.

ChIP-seq of PBX1, PBX2 and LEF1 in wild-type and Pbx1/Pbx2 double-knockout EpiSCs differentiated in vitro to pre-somitic mesoderm in the first 48 hours of differentiation.

Project description:In vertebrates, body axis elongation is fuelled by bipotent neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs), which support the development of both spinal cord and paraxial mesoderm (PM). WNT signalling sustains both NMP expansion and PM differentiation, but the mechanism by which it distinguishes between these alternative fates is unknown. HOX transcription factors have been historically implicated in axial elongation, with their sequential activation playing a fundamental role in timing PM development. PBX1 and PBX2 are obligate anterior HOX cofactors, and therefore they represent prominent candidates for controlling the distinct response to individual HOX factors. In our work, we have demonstrated that PBX proteins generate the DNA-binding context that allows recruitment of the WNT-effector LEF1, and consequently promote the expression of PM genes. Here, we wanted to identify the chromatin binding pattern of PBX1, PBX2 and LEF1 during the first 48 hours of pre-somitic mesoderm (PSM) in vitro differentiation, by performing chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) at different time-points (EpiSCs, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours). To address the impact of PBX loss on LEF1 recruitment to chromatin, we additionally performed ChIP-seq in wild-type (WT) and Pbx1/Pbx2 double-knockout (Pbx1/2-DKO) EpiSCs differentiated in vitro to PSM at different time-points (EpiSCs, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours).

To establish the direct transcriptional regulation of Msgn1 by PBX/HOX, we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate lines carrying base-pair substitutions on the Msgn1 promoter (pMsgn1-mut) that abrogate the recruitment of PBX/HOX complexes, and we performed RNA-seq of pMsgn1-mut EpiSCs differentiated in vitro to PSM at 24 hours. All differentiation experiments were performed in biological triplicates with WT and Pbx1/2-DKO lines, and in biological duplicates with pMsgn1-mut lines.

HoxB genes regulate neuronal delamination in the trunk neural tube by controlling the expression of Lzts1

Project description:Differential Hox gene expression is central for specification of axial neuronal diversity in the spinal cord. Here, we uncover an additional function of Hox proteins in the developing spinal cord, restricted to B cluster Hox genes. We found that members of the HoxB cluster are expressed in the trunk neural tube of chicken embryo earlier than Hox from the other clusters, with poor antero-posterior axial specificity and with overlapping expression in the intermediate zone (IZ). Gain-of-function experiments of HoxB4, HoxB8 and HoxB9, respectively representative of anterior, central, and posterior HoxB genes, resulted in ectopic progenitor cells in the mantle zone. The search for HoxB8 downstream targets in the early neural tube identified the Leucine Zipper Tumor Suppressor 1 gene (Lzts1), which expression is also activated by HoxB4 and HoxB9. Gain and loss of function experiments showed that Lzts1, expressed endogenously in the IZ, controls neuronal delamination. These data collectively indicate that HoxB genes have a generic function in the developing spinal cord, controlling the expression of Lzts1 and neuronal delamination.

IkBa associates with histone H2A in human keratinocytes

Project description:Here, we demonstrate that IkBa displays a predominant and unique nuclear localization in normal basal keratinocytes. This nuclear IkBa binds the chromatin through direct interaction of the ankyrin repeats with histone H2A and associates with the promoter and regulatory regions of several developmental-related genes including HOXA10, HOXB2 and HOXB9. Most importantly, IkBa dictates the competence of these HOX genes to be activated upon TNFa stimulation. Examination of IkBalpha location in keratinocyte cells

CDK6 as key regulator of hematopoietic and leukemic stem cell activation.

Project description:The cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) CDK6 and CDK4 have redundant functions in regulating cell-cycle progression. We describe a novel role for CDK6 in hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells (HSCs and LSCs) that exceeds its function as cell-cycle regulator. Although hematopoiesis appears regular under steady state conditions Cdk6-/- HSCs do not efficiently repopulate upon competitive transplantation and Cdk6-deficient mice are significantly more susceptible to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment. We find that activation of HSCs requires CDK6, which interferes with transcription of key regulators including Egr1. The central role of Egr1 is supported by transcriptional profiling of HSCs. The impaired repopulation capacity extends to BCR-ABLp210+ leukemic stem cells. Transplantation with BCR-ABLp210+-infected bone marrow (BM) from Cdk6-/- mice fails to induce disease although recipient mice do harbor LSCs. Egr1 knock-down in cdk6-/- BCR-ABLp210+ LSKs significantly enhances colony formation underlining the importance of the Cdk6-Egr1 axis. Our findings define CDK6 as an important regulator of stem cell activation and as essential component of a transcriptional complex that suppresses Egr1 in HSCs and LSCs. Four-condition experiment, Untreated or polyI:C-treated CDK6-/- cells versus untreated or polyI:C-treated wild-type cells. Biological replicates: 3 untreated replicates, 3 polyI:C-treated replicates.
