Oct4 is a gatekeeper of epithelial identity by regulating cytoskeletal dynamics in skin keratinocytes [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Oct4 is arguably a pioneer transcription factor regulating pluripotency. However, it is poorly known whether Oct4 has an impact on somatic cells. We generated OCT4 knockout clonal cell lines using immortalized human skin keratinocytes to identify a functional role for the protein. Here we report that Oct4-deficient cells transitioned into a mesenchymal-like phenotype with enlarged size and shape, exhibited accelerated migratory behavior, decreased adhesion and appeared arrested at G2/M cell cycle checkpoint. Oct4 absence had a profound impact on cortical actin organization, with loss of microfilaments from cell periphery, increased puncta deposition in the cytoplasm and stress fiber formation. E-cadherin, β-catenin and ZO1 were almost absent from cell-cell contacts while fibronectin deposition was markedly increased in ECM. Mapping of the transcriptional and chromatin profiles of Oct4-deficient cells revealed that Oct4 controls the levels of cytoskeletal, ECM and differentiation related genes, whereas epithelial identity is preserved through transcriptional and non-transcriptional mechanisms.

ECM deposition is driven by caveolin1-dependent regulation of exosomal biogenesis and cargo sorting

Project description:The composition and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influence tumor progression, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ECM layering are poorly understood. Tumor-stroma interaction is critically dependent on cell-cell communication mediated by exosomes, small vesicles generated within multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Here, we show that caveolin-1 (Cav1) is a central modulator of both exosome biogenesis and exosomal protein cargo sorting through the regulation of cholesterol content at the endosomal compartment/MVBs. Quantitative proteomics profiling revealed that Cav1 is required for exosomal sorting of ECM protein cargo subsets including tenascin-C (TnC), and for fibroblast-derived exosomes to efficiently depose ECM and promote tumor cell invasiveness. Cav1-driven exosomal ECM deposition not only promotes local stromal remodeling, but also the generation of distant ECM-enriched stromal niches. These results support a model by which Cav1 is a central regulatory hub for tumor-stroma interactions through a novel exosome-dependent ECM deposition mechanism.

SOX9 regulated matrix proteins are increased in patients serum and correlate with severity of liver fibrosis

Project description:Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and resultant scar play a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis. Identifying core regulators of ECM deposition may lead to urgently needed diagnostic and therapetic strategies for the disease. The transcription factor Sex determining region Y box 9 (SOX9) is actively involved in scar formation and its prevalence in patients with liver fibrosis predicts progression. In this study, transcriptomic approaches of Sox9-abrogated myofibroblasts identified >30% of genes regulated by SOX9 relate to the ECM.

Relief of extracellular matrix deposition repression by downregulation of IRF1-mediated TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in keloids

Project description:Keloids represent a fibrotic disorder characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanisms by which ECM deposition in keloids is regulated remain elusive. Here, we found that the expression of both TWEAK and its cognate receptor Fn14 was significantly downregulated in keloids and that TWEAK/Fn14 signaling repressed the expression of ECM-related genes in keloid fibroblasts. The IRF1 gene was essential for this repression, and the TWEAK/Fn14 downstream transcription factor P65 directly bound to the promoter of the IRF1 gene and induced its expression. Furthermore, in keloid patients, the expression of TWEAK and Fn14 was negatively correlated with that of ECM genes and positively correlated with that of IRF1. These observations indicate that relief of TWEAK/Fn14/IRF1-mediated ECM deposition repression contributes to keloid pathogenesis, and the identified mechanism and related molecules provide potential targets for keloid treatment in the future.

Extracellular matrix remodelling is associated with muscle force increase in overloaded mouse plantaris muscle.

Project description:Aims: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signalling is thought to contribute to the remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM) of skeletal muscle and to functional decline in patients with muscular dystrophies. We wanted to determine the role of TGF-β-induced ECM remodelling in dystrophic muscle. Methods: We experimentally induced the pathological hallmarks of severe muscular dystrophy by mechanically overloading the plantaris muscle in mice. Furthermore, we determined the role of TGF-β signalling on dystrophic tissue modulation and on muscle function by (i) overloading myostatin knockout (Mstn-/- ) mice and (ii) by additional pharmacological TGF-β inhibition via halofuginone. Results: Transcriptome analysis of overloaded muscles revealed upregulation predominantly of genes associated with ECM, inflammation and metalloproteinase activity. Histology revealed in wild-type mice signs of severe muscular dystrophy including myofibres with large variation in size and internalized myonuclei, as well as increased ECM deposition. At the same time, muscle weight had increased by 208% and muscle force by 234%. Myostatin deficiency blunted the effect of overload on muscle mass (59% increase) and force (76% increase), while having no effect on ECM deposition. Concomitant treatment with halofuginone blunted overload-induced muscle hypertrophy and muscle force increase, while reducing ECM deposition and increasing myofibre size. Conclusions: ECM remodelling is associated with an increase in muscle mass and force in overload-modelled dystrophic muscle. Lack of myostatin is not advantageous and inhibition of ECM deposition by halofuginone is disadvantageous for muscle plasticity in response to stimuli that induce dystrophic muscle.
