Effect of CRISPR activation of Zbtb7b, Vps72, Gba, or Mrpl9 in liver tumorigenesis in mice

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) undergo chromosomal amplifications with resultant increases in gene expression levels, yet the impact of these changes remains largely unknown. We sought to identify cancer driver genes at these genetic loci using CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) screening in mouse livers. We examined The Cancer Genome Atlas data for copy number-amplified and upregulated genes in HCCs. We then conducted in vivo CRISPRa tumorigenesis screens targeting the top 51 genes using dCas9 knock-in mice. Genes Zbtb7b, Vps72, Gba, and Mrpl9 emerged as putative drivers of liver tumorigenesis. Furthermore, high levels of expression of VPS72, GBA, or MRPL9, but not ZBTB7B, correlated with worse survival of HCC patients from the The Cancer Genome Atlas. For validation of the role of these genes in driving tumorigenesis, mice were injected with single CRISPRa plasmids containing Vps72-, Gba-, or Mrpl9-targeting gRNAs. This led to decreased survival and extensive liver tumorigenesis compared to non-targeting controls. We performed RNA sequencing of these tumors to understand the transcriptomic changes caused by activation of these genes.

Comparative transcriptome analysis in monocyte-derived macrophages of asymptomatic GBA mutation carriers and patients with GBA-associated Parkinson’s disease

Project description:We compared transcriptome of monocyte-derived macrophages of 5 patients with GBA-PD (4 L444P/N, 1 N370S/N) and 4 asymptomatic GBA mutation carriers (GBA-carriers) (3 L444P/N, 1 N370S/N) and 4 controls. We also conducted comparative transcriptome analysis for L444P/N only GBA-PD patients and GBA-carriers. Revealed deregulated genes in GBA-PD independently of GBA mutations (L444P or N370S) were involved in immune response, neuronal function. We found upregulated pathway associated with zinc metabolism in L444P/N GBA-PD patients. The potential important role of DUSP1 in the pathogenesis of GBA-PD was suggested.

ALDH1A1 Promotes Immune Escape of Tumor Cells through ZBTB7B-Glycolysis Pathway

Project description:Background The primary impediment to the success of immunotherapy lies in the immune evasion orchestrated by tumors, contributing to the suboptimal overall response rates observed. Despite this recognition, the intricacies of the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Methods and Results Through preliminary detection of clinical patient tissues, we have found that ALDH1A1 was a key gene for the prognosis of cancer patients and tumor glycolysis. In vitro experiments and tumor formation in nude mice suggested that targeting ALDH1A1 could inhibit tumor growth. Through further analysis of xenograft tumor models in immune-normal mice and flow cytometry, we found that deficiency in ALDH1A1 could promote immune system suppression of tumors in vivo. Specifically, RNA-seq analysis, combined with qPCR and western blot, identified the transcription factor ZBTB7B as downstream of ALDH1A1. The binding sites of the transcription factor ZBTB7B on the LDHA promoter region, which is responsible for regulating the rate-limiting enzyme gene LDHA in glycolysis, were determined using luciferase reporter gene detection and Chip-qPCR, respectively. In addition, the increased SUMOylation of ZBTB7B stabilized its transcriptional activity. Further in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that the combination of targeting ALDH1A1 and ZBTB7B with immune checkpoint inhibitors could synergistically inhibit tumors in vivo. Finally, after conducting additional verification of patient tissue and clinical data, we have confirmed the potential translational value of targeting ALDH1A1 and ZBTB7B for tumor immunotherapy. Conclusions These results emphasize the potential translational significance of targeting ALDH1A1 and ZBTB7B in the realm of tumor immunotherapy. The convergence of ALDH1A1 inhibition and immune checkpoint blockade, particularly with PD-L1/PD-1 mAb, presents a compelling avenue for curtailing tumor immune escape.

Wild type and Zbtb7b knockout mouse brown adipose tissue

Project description:Zbtb7b is a zinc finger and BTB domain containing transcription factor that activates the thermogenic gene program during brown and beige adipocyte differentiation. Zbtb7b interacts with the long noncoding RNA Blnc1 and hnRNPU to form a ribonucleoprotein transcriptional complex We used microarray to determine how Zbtb7b regulates brown fat gene expression at ambient room temperature and following cold exposure

Gene expression of microglia from wild type, Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre, and Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre; Mincle-/- mice

Project description:To investigate the contribution of Mincle in neuronopathic Gaucher disease, we established Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice and crossed them with Mincle deficient mice. RNA sequencing of microglia from these mice revealed Axl, a phaogocytic receptor was upregulated in Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice. In addition, Tnf was upregulated in Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice in a Mincle-dependent manner. Our further study elucidated that Mincle, Axl and TNF are involved in the pathology of Gaucher disease.

Deletion of Gba in neurons, but not microglia, causes neurodegeneration in a Gaucher mouse model

Project description:Gaucher disease, the most prevalent lysosomal storage disease, is caused by homozygous mutations at the GBA gene, which is responsible for encoding the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Neuronopathic Gaucher disease is associated with microgliosis, astrogliosis, and neurodegeneration. However, the role that microglia, astrocytes, and neurons play in the disease remains to be determined. In the current study, we developed inducible, cell-type specific Gba KO mice to understand the individual impacts of Gba deficiencies on microglia and neurons. Gba was conditionally knocked out either exclusively in microglia or neurons, or throughout the body. These mouse models were developed using a tamoxifen-inducible Cre system, with tamoxifen administration commencing at weaning. Microglia-specific Gba KO mice showed no signs of disease. However, the neuron-specific Gba KO resulted in a shortened lifespan, severe weight loss, and ataxia. These mice also had significant neurodegeneration, microgliosis, and astrogliosis accompanied by the accumulation of glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine, recapitulating Gaucher disease-like symptoms. These surprising findings reveal that, unlike the neuron-specific Gba deficiency, microglia-specific Gba deficiency alone does not induce disease. The neuronal Gaucher disease mouse model, with a median survival of 16 weeks, may be useful for future studies of pathogenesis and the evaluation of therapies.

Effect of liver specific deletion of Zbtb7b on gene expression in liver of mice fasted for 24 hours

Project description:Here, we revealed that Zbtb7b is a suppressor of MASLD-related HCC. Zbtb7b deficiency in mouse hepatocytes increases de novo lipogenesis while hepatic fatty acid oxidation is inhibited. Consequently, lipid deposition in the liver is increased, which facilitating the progression of MASLD and eventually to HCC. Mechanistically, depletion of Zbtb7b drastically induced long noncoding RNA H19 expression, thereby driving hepatic de novo lipogenesis and suppressing fatty acid oxidation program to accelerate MASLD-related HCC progression.

Proteomic analysis of GBA iPSC-dopamine neurons

Project description:Heterozygous mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) are the strongest common genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD) present in around 5-10% of PD patients, resulting in lower age of onset and exacerbating disease progression, including an increased risk of dementia. However, the exact mechanisms leading from dysfunction of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) encoded by GBA to PD pathogenesis and neurodegeneration remain unclear. Applying a novel multi-part enrichment workflow we have developed, we have isolated and quantified peptides with phosphorylation, cysteine-modification or N-linked glycosylation simultaneously. We applied this methodology to iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons from GBA-N370S PD patients and healthy age-matched controls, identifying large numbers of dysregulated native and modified proteins.
