Asymmetric crosstalk between the BMP and TGFb pathways resolves signaling ambiguity

ABSTRACT: The BMP and TGFβ signaling pathways control cellular fate decisions in diverse biological contexts, often playing opposing roles. Despite extensive knowledge of these pathways, understanding how cells respond to environments containing these opposing cues remains a challenge. Here, we systematically analyze the activation of BMP and TGFβ pathways under combinatorial signaling environments. We find that TGFβ ligands inhibit BMP signaling, while BMP ligands enhance TGFβ transcriptional response, across concentrations, ligand variants, and cell types. This asymmetric crosstalk results in the activation of a single specific transcriptional response, even under mixed signaling conditions, effectively reducing signal ambiguity. Furthermore, we show that this crosstalk originates downstream of the SMAD proteins phosphorylation. Using mathematical models we predict, and experimentally verify, that promiscuous interactions between SMAD proteins provide the mechanism for the observed crosstalk. Our findings challenge the canonical models of signaling pathways, suggesting an active role for mediator proteins in determining biological responses.

Genome-wide mapping of Olig2 targets in primary oligodendrocytes

Project description:Myelination by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) is essential for proper brain function, yet the molecular determinants that control this process remain poorly understood. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors Olig1 and Olig2 promote myelination, whereas bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt/?-catenin signaling inhibit myelination. Here we show that these opposing regulators of myelination are functionally linked by the Olig1/2 common target Smad-interacting protein-1 (Sip1). We demonstrate that Sip1 is an essential modulator of CNS myelination. Sip1 represses differentiation inhibitory signals by antagonizing BMP receptor-activated Smad activity while activating crucial oligodendrocyte-promoting factors. Importantly, a key Sip1-activated target, Smad7, is required for oligodendrocyte differentiation and partially rescues differentiation defects caused by Sip1 loss. Smad7 promotes myelination by blocking the BMP- and ?-catenin-negative regulatory pathways. Thus, our findings reveal that Sip1-mediated antagonism of inhibitory signaling is critical for promoting CNS myelination and point to new mediators for myelin repair. ChIP-seq was performed to identify Olig2 direct target genes in oligodendrocytes during oligodendrocyte differentiation.

BMP/Taz-Hippo signaling modulates VEGF-mediated angiogenesis

Project description:The BMP/TGFβ-Smad, Notch and VEGF signaling guides formation of endothelial tip and stalk cells. However, the crosstalk of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling has remained largely unknown. We demonstrate that BMP family members regulate VEGFR2 and Notch signaling, and act via TAZ-Hippo signaling pathway. BMPs were found to be regulated after VEGF gene transfer in C57/Bl6 mice and in a porcine myocardial ischemia model. BMPs 2/4/6 were identified as endothelium-specific targets of VEGF. BMP2 modulated VEGF-mediated endothelial sprouting via Delta like Canonical Notch Ligand 4 (DLL4). BMP6 modulated VEGF signaling by regulating VEGFR2 expression and acted via Hippo signaling effector TAZ, known to regulate cell survival/proliferation, and to be dysregulated in cancer. In a matrigel plug assay in nude mice BMP6 was further demonstrated to induce angiogenesis. BMP6 is the first member of BMP family found to directly regulate both Hippo signaling and neovessel formation. It may thus serve as a target in pro/anti-angiogenic therapies.

State- and stimulus-specific dynamics of SMAD signaling determine fate decisions in individual cells

Project description:SMAD-mediated signaling regulates a broad range of cell fate decisions including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and EMT. To elucidate how this relatively simple pathway realizes this complexity, we systematically investigate how SMAD-mediated responses are modulated by various ligands of the TGFβ family, and compare these ligand responses in quiescent and proliferating MCF10A cells.

Sip1 c/c;Olig1-Cre mouse spinal cord was collected at P14 for RNA extraction and Affymetrix microarray analysis. Sip1 c/+;Olig1-Cre littermate spinal cord was used as the control.

Gold Compound Induces Immune Suppression via AHR-TGF-β1 Signaling

Project description:Gold compounds containing planar N-heterocyclic (NHC) carbene ligands are potent aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands. Further studies with the lead compound (called MC3), show that MC3 activates TGFβ signaling while repressing CD4+ T-cell activation in vitro, in human and mouse T-cells, and in scurfy mouse, while repression of AHR activity or TGFβ-SMAD cascades compensated its immune suppressive function. The in-vivo induction of Tgfb1 expression was associated with reduced severity of the autoimmune markers.

Gene expression signatures for fractions of E7.5 whole embryos based on Endoglin and Flk-1 markers

Project description:Much remains unknown about the signals that induce early mesoderm to initiate hematopoietic differentiation. Here we show that endoglin (Eng), a receptor for the TGFβ superfamily, identifies all cells with hematopoietic fate in the early embryo. These arise in an Eng+Flk1+ mesodermal precursor population at E7.5, a cell fraction also endowed with endothelial potential. In Eng knockout embryos, hematopoietic colony activity and numbers of CD71+Ter119+ erythroid progenitors were severely reduced. This coincided with severely reduced expression of embryonic globin and key BMP target genes including the hematopoietic regulators Scl, Gata1, Gata2 and Msx-1. To interrogate molecular pathways active in the earliest hematopoietic progenitors, we applied transcriptional profiling to sorted cells from E7.5 embryos. Eng+Flk-1+ progenitors co-expressed TGFβ and BMP receptors and target genes. Furthermore, Eng+Flk-1+ cells presented high levels of phospho-SMAD1/5, indicating active TGFβ and/or BMP signaling. Remarkably, under hematopoietic serum-free culture conditions, hematopoietic outgrowth of endoglin-expressing cells was dependent on TGFβ superfamily ligands: BMP4, BMP2, or TGF-β1. These data demonstrate that the E+F+ fraction at E7.5 represents mesodermal cells competent to respond to TGFb1, BMP4, or BMP2, shaping their hematopoietic development, and that endoglin is a critical regulator in this process by modulating TGF/BMP signaling.

Quantitative proteomics of the SMAD transcription factor family reveals IPO5 as a BMP Receptor-SMAD specific importin

Project description:Gene-specific transcription factors (GSTFs) control of gene transcription by DNA binding and specific protein complex recruitment, which regulates promoter accessibility for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. GSTFs that are frequently mutated in colon and rectal carcinomas are Suppressor of Mothers Against Decapentaplegic 2 (SMAD2) and SMAD4, which play an important role in the TGF-β signaling pathways controlling cell fate and proliferation (ref.). The SMAD protein family is a diverse and it can be divided into three subclasses: receptor activated SMADs, inhibitory SMADs and the common SMAD4 co-activator. To study protein interactors of the SMAD protein family we generated a quantitative proteomics pipeline that allows for inducible expression of GFP-tagged SMAD proteins followed by affinity purification and MS analysis. The nuclear importin IPO5 was identified as a novel interacting protein of SMAD1. Overexpression of IPO5 shows forced BMP R-SMAD nuclear localization confirming a functional relationship between BMP but not TGF-β R-SMADs and IPO5. Finally we provide evidence that the length of the lysine stretch in the NLS is involved in importin selection.

A role for the Tgf-β/Bmp co-receptor Endoglin in the molecular oscillator that regulates the hair follicle cycle.

Project description:The hair follicle is a biological oscillator that alternates growth, regression, and rest phases driven by the sequential activation of the proliferation/differentiation programs of resident stem cell populations. The activation of hair follicle stem cell niches and subsequent entry into the growing phase is mainly regulated by Wnt/β-catenin signalling, while regression and resting phases are mainly regulated by Tgf-β/Bmp/Smad activity. A major question still unresolved is the nature of the molecular switch that dictates the coordinated transition between both signalling pathways. Here we have focused on the role of Endoglin (Eng), a key co-receptor for members of the Tgf-β/Bmp family of growth factors.Using an Eng haploinsufficient mouse model, we report that Eng is required to maintain a correct follicle cycling pattern and for an adequate stimulation of hair follicle stem cell niches. We further report that β-catenin binds to the Eng promoter depending on Bmp signalling. Moreover, we show that β-catenin interacts with Smad4 in a Bmp/Eng-dependent context and both proteins act synergistically to activate Eng promoter transcription. These observations point to the existence of a growth/rest switching mechanism in the hair follicle that is based on an Eng-dependent feedback crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signals. Implication of Endoglin, Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signals in the growth/rest hair follicle
