Integrative Genomic Analyses Reveal Putative Cell Type-specific Targets of theDrosophilaEts Transcription Factor Pointed

ABSTRACT: The Ets domain transcription factors direct diverse biological processes throughout all metazoans and are implicated in development as well as in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. The Drosophila Ets transcription factor Pointed (Pnt) is the downstream effector of the Epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr) pathway and is required for cell cycle progression, specification, and differentiation of most cell types in the larval eye disc. Despite its critical role in development, very few targets of Pnt have been reported previously. Here, we employed an integrated approach by combining genome-wide single cell and bulk data to identify putative cell type-specific Pnt targets. First, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to determine the genome-wide occupancy of Pnt in late larval eye discs. We identified enriched regions that mapped to an average of 6,941 genes, the vast majority of which are novel putative Pnt targets. Next, we integrated ChIP-seq data with two other larval eye single cell genomics datasets (scRNA-seq and snATAC-seq) to reveal 157 putative cell type-specific Pnt targets that may help mediate unique cell type responses upon Egfr-induced differentiation. Finally, our integrated data also predicts cell type-specific functional enhancers that were not reported previously. Together, our study provides a greatly expanded list of putative cell type-specific Pnt targets in the eye and is a resource for future studies that will

Genome-wide maps of Ets21C and Pointed isoforms PntP1 and PntP2 binding sites in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and transcriptome profiling of ISCs over-expressing Spitz, Ets21C, PntP1, or PntP2

Project description:Purpose: The ETS transcription factors Ets21C and Pnt are downstream effectors of EGFR signaling pathway regulating intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation. ISC-specific DNA binding mapping using DamID and mRNA expression profiling were performed to identify the role of Ets21C and Pnt downstream of EGFR signaling. Methods: For DamID, ISC were FACS sorted and their genomic DNA extracted, amplified, and sequenced. For RNA-Seq, ISC were FACS sorted and their total RNA extracted, amplified (only for Pnt samples), and sequenced. Conclusions: We found that Ets21C and Pnt have a role in driving both ISC proliferation and metabolic changes.

A Single Cell RNA Sequence Atlas of the Early Drosophila Larval Eye

Project description:TheDrosophilaeye has been an important model to understand principles of differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and tissue morphogenesis. However, a single cell RNA sequence resource that captures gene expression dynamics from the initiation of differentiation to the specification of different cell types in the larval eye disc is lacking. Here, we report transcriptomic data from 13,000 cells that cover six developmental stages of the larval eye. Our data show cell clusters that correspond to all major cell types present in the eye disc ranging from the initiation of the morphogenetic furrow to the differentiation of each photoreceptor cell type as well as early cone cells. We identify dozens of cell type-specific genes whose function in different aspects of eye development have not been reported. These single cell data will greatly aid research groups studying different aspects of early eye development and will facilitate a deeper understanding of the larval eye as a model system.

Longevity is determined by ETS transcription factors in multiple tissues and diverse species [FxAxP]

Project description:Ageing populations pose one of the main public health crises of our time. Reprogramming gene expression by altering the activities of sequence-specific transcription factors (TF) can ameliorate deleterious effects of age. Here we explore how a circuit of TFs coordinates pro-longevity transcriptional outcomes, which reveals a multi-tissue and multi-species role for an entire protein family: the E-twenty-six (ETS) TFs. In Drosophila, reduced insulin/IGF signalling (IIS) extends lifespan by coordinating activation of Aop, an ETS transcriptional repressor, and Foxo, a Forkhead transcriptional activator. Aop and Foxo bind the same genomic loci, and we show that, individually, they effect similar transcriptional programmes in vivo. In combination, Aop can both moderate or synergise with Foxo, dependent on promoter context. Moreover, Foxo and Aop oppose the activities of Pnt, an ETS transcriptional activator, effecting a transcriptomic programme that correlates lifespan outcomes. Directly limiting Pnt extended lifespan, suggesting this is how Aop and Foxo promote longevity. The lifespan-limiting role of Pnt appears to be balanced by a requirement for metabolic regulation in young flies, in which the Aop-Pnt-Foxo circuit determines nutrient storage, and Pnt regulates lipolysis and responses to nutrient stress. Molecular functions are conserved amongst ETS TFs, suggesting others may also affect ageing. We show that Ets21C limits lifespan, functioning in the same genetic network as Foxo and IIS. Other ETS TFs appear to play roles in fly ageing in multiple contexts, since inhibiting the majority of the family in intestine, adipose or neurons extended lifespan. We expand the repertoire of lifespan-limiting ETS TFs in C. elegans, confirming their conserved function in ageing. Altogether this study reveals that roles of ETS TFs in physiology and lifespan are conserved throughout the family, both within and between species.

Analysis of Drosophila melanogaster Chromosome Topology in Larval Eye and Antennal Discs

Project description:The goal of this study was to examine chromosome topology in Drosophila larval eye and antennal discs by identifying topologically associating domains (TADs) across the genome. TADs were compared between the eye and antennal disc to determine whether they contribute to cell-type-specific homologous pairing and transvection.

Systematic multi-omics cell line profiling uncovers principles of Ewing sarcoma fusion oncogene-mediated gene regulation

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is characterized by EWSR1-ETS fusion transcription factors converting polymorphic GGAA microsatellites (mSats) into potent neo-enhancers. Although the paucity of additional mutations makes EwS a genuine model to study principles of cooperation between dominant fusion oncogenes and neo-enhancers, this is impeded by the limited number of well-characterized models. Here we present the Ewing Sarcoma Cell Line Atlas (ESCLA), comprising whole-genome, DNA methylation, transcriptome, proteome, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data of 18 cell lines with inducible EWSR1-ETS knockdown. The ESCLA shows hundreds of EWSR1-ETS-targets, the nature of EWSR1-ETS-preferred GGAA mSats, and putative indirect modes of EWSR1-ETS-mediated gene regulation, converging in the duality of a specific but plastic EwS signature. We identify heterogeneously regulated EWSR1-ETS-targets as potential prognostic EwS biomarkers. Our freely available ESCLA (http://r2platform.com/escla/) is a rich resource for EwS research and highlights the power of comprehensive datasets to unravel principles of heterogeneous gene regulation by chimeric transcription factors.

Expression data from third instar Drosophila eye discs

Project description:Third instar larval eye discs provide an in vivo model for cell cycle exit studies. Posterior to the Second Mitotic Wave proliferation is absent in a wild type eye disc. Inactivating mutations in tumor suppressor-like genes can lead to genome wide changes in gene expression that allow for inappropriate bypass of cell cycle exit signals posterior to the Second Mitotic Wave. In a mosaic tissue comprised of two wild type (Canton) populations (distinguished by presence or absence of GFP) there is roughly a 50/50 distribution of both populations in the tissue. Using the same method but comparing Warts (wts) to wild type you see that Warts mutant tissue is ~70-80% of the eye disc and the rest is wild type tissue. In the comparison of rbf1120a v rbf1120a+wts using the same method for mosaic creation we were able to see a similar ~80-85% of the eye disc as rbf1120a+wts. rbf1120a cells have relatively little advantage over wild type cells, but we were able to use entirely homozygous mutant discs for RNA extraction. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying cell cycle exit and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Drosophila third instar larvea were selected and the eye discs from these animals were prepared for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We used mosaic larval discs but the majority of the tissue was comprised of the mutant allelic combination we desired due to the proliferative advantage of these mutant cells over wild type cells.

Response of SCLC to mutant KRAS or EGFR induction

Project description:Lineage transformation between lung cancer subtypes is a poorly understood phenomenon associated with resistance to treatment and poor patient outcomes. Here, we aimed to model this transition in order to define underlying biological mechanisms and identify potential avenues for therapeutic intervention. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is neuroendocrine in origin and, in contrast to non-SCLC (NSCLC), rarely contains mutations that drive the MAPK pathway. Likewise, NSCLCs that transform to SCLC concomitantly with development of therapy resistance downregulate MAPK signaling, suggesting an inverse relationship between pathway activation and lineage state. To test this, we activated MAPK in SCLC through conditional expression of mutant KRAS or EGFR, which revealed suppression of the neuroendocrine differentiation program via ERK. We found that ERK induces the expression of ETS factors, phenocopying ERK-mediated effects on transformation into the NSCLC-like phenotype. ATAC-seq demonstrated ERK-driven changes in chromatin accessibility at putative regulatory regions and global chromatin rewiring at neuroendocrine and ETS transcriptional targets. Further, induction of ETS factors as well as suppression of neuroendocrine differentiation were dependent on histone acetyltransferase activities of CBP/p300. Overall, we describe how the ERK-CBP/p300-ETS axis promotes a lineage shift between neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine lung cancer phenotypes and provide rationale for the disruption of this program during transformation-driven resistance to targeted therapy.
