The Drosophila histone methyl-transferase SET1 coordinates multiple signaling pathways in regulating male germline stem cell maintenance and differentiation

ABSTRACT: Many cell types come from tissue-specific adult stem cells that maintain the balance between proliferation and differentiation. Here, we study how the H3K4me3 methyltransferase, Set1, regulates early-stage male germ cell proliferation and differentiation in Drosophila. Early-stage germline-specific knockdown of set1 results in a temporally progressed defects, arising as germ cell loss and developing to overpopulated early-stage germ cells. These germline defects also impact the niche architecture and cyst stem cell lineage in a non-cell-autonomous manner. Additionally, wild-type Set1, but not the catalytically inactive Set1, could rescue the set1 knockdown phenotypes, highlighting the functional importance of the methyl-transferase activity of the Set1 enzyme. Further, RNA-seq experiments reveal key signaling pathway components, such as the JAK-STAT pathway gene stat92E and the BMP pathway gene mad, that are upregulated upon set1 knockdown. Genetic interaction assays support the functional relationships between set1 and JAK-STAT or BMP pathways, as mutations of both the stat92E and mad genes suppress the set1 knockdown phenotypes. These findings enhance our understanding of the balance between proliferation and differentiation in an adult stem cell lineage. The germ cell loss followed by over-proliferation phenotypes when inhibiting a histone methyl-transferase raise concerns about using their inhibitors in cancer therapy.

Normal Lung + Lung adenocarcinoma microarray

Project description:Gene transcription in a set of 49 human primary lung adenocarcinomas and 9 normal lung tissue samples was examined using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. We aimed to investigate differential gene expression between the two tissue types. A total of 3,442 genes, called the set MAD, were found to be either up- or down-regulated by at least two fold between the two phenotypes. Genes assigned to a particular gene ontology term were found, in many cases, to be significantly unevenly distributed between the genes in and outside MAD. Terms that were overrepresented in MAD included functions directly implicated in cancer cell metabolism. Based on their functional roles and expression profiles, genes in MAD were grouped into likely co-regulated gene sets.

Beta cell dysfunction and dedifferentiation induced by Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-2 is associated with histone modifications and decreased NeuroD1 chromatin binding

Project description:Insufficient insulin secretion is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes and has been attributed to beta cell identity loss characterized by a decreased expression of several key beta cell genes. The pro-inflammatory factor BMP-2 is upregulated in islets of Langerhans from diabetic individuals and acts as an inhibitor of beta cell function and proliferation. Exposure to BMP-2 induces expression of Id1-4, Hes-1 and Hey-1, transcriptional regulators associated with loss of differentiation. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of BMP-2 induced beta cell dysfunction and identity loss. Mouse islets exposed to BMP-2 for 10 days showed impaired insulin secretion and beta cell proliferation. BMP-2-induced beta cell dysfunction was associated with decreased expression of beta cell specific identity and proliferation markers such as Ins1, Ucn3 and Ki67 but increased expression of Id1-4, Hes-1 and Hey-1. BMP-2 regulated mRNA expression significantly correlated with corresponding protein expression. BMP-2 induced gene expression changes were associated with a predominant reduction in the H3K27ac mark and a decrease in NeuroD1 chromatin binding activity. These results show that BMP-2-induced beta cell dysfunction is associated with epigenetic changes, predominantly a reduction in H3K27ac and a decrease in NeuroD1 DNA binding resulting in altered beta cell gene expression.

Nucleoporin107 mediates female sexual differentiation via Dsx

Project description:We recently identified a missense mutation in Nucleoporin107 (Nup107; D447N) underlying XX-ovarian-dysgenesis (XX-OD), a disorder characterized by underdeveloped and dysfunctional ovaries. Specific knockdown of Nup107 in the somatic gonadal cells and moreover, modelling of the human mutation in Drosophila result in ovarian-dysgenesis-like phenotypes in female flies. The aberrant phenotypes in larval and adult ovaries compromised for Nup107 are associated with hyperactivation of BMP signalling. Transcriptomic analysis identified the somatic sex-determination gene Doublesex (dsx) and the extracellular metalloprotease AdamTS-A as targets of Nup107. Either loss or gain of Dsx in the gonadal soma is sufficient to respectively mimic or rescue the phenotypes induced by Nup107 loss. Furthermore, adamTS-A is transcriptionally regulated by Dsx, and its knockdown in the somatic gonad hyperactivates BMP signaling and to a large extent recapitulates loss of Nup107 phenotypes. Thus, Dsx acts downstream of Nup107 to impact female germline stem cells via sex-specific modulation of the BMP pathway.

Expression profiling in the Drosophila eye reveals unexpected repression of Notch signaling by the JAK/STAT pathway

Project description:Although the JAK/STAT pathway regulates numerous processes in vertebrates and invertebrates through modulating transcription, its functionally-relevant transcriptional targets remain largely unknown. With one jak and one stat (stat92E), Drosophila provides a powerful system for finding new JAK/STAT target genes. Genome-wide expression profiling on eye discs in which Stat92E is hyperactivated, revealed 584 differentially-regulated genes, including known targets domeless, socs36E and wingless. Other differentially-regulated genes (chinmo, lama, Mo25, Imp-L2, Serrate, Delta) were validated and may represent new Stat92E targets. Genetic experiments revealed that Stat92E cell-autonomously represses Serrate, which encodes a Notch ligand. Loss of Stat92E led to de-repression of Serrate in the dorsal eye, resulting in ectopic Notch signaling and aberrant eye growth there. Thus, our micro-array documents a new Stat92E target gene and a previously-unidentified inhibitory action of Stat92E on Notch signaling. These data suggest that this study will be a useful resource for the identification of additional Stat92E targets.

Identification of Dpp target genes during the early embryo development

Project description:The dorsal patterning in Drosophila is controlled by an extracellular gradient of the morphogens Decapentlaplegic/Screw (Dpp/Scrw), which are members of BMP/TGF-β family. Dpp/Scrw signal is transduced to the nucleus by the transcription factors, Mad/Medea. The transcriptional effectors exert their regulation in a graded-manner eliciting at least three threshold responses: high, intermediate and low. However, the mechanism underlying differential response to Dpp is poorly understood, due in part to the insufficient number of well-studied target genes. Gene expression changes were analysed in ectopic overexpressing Dpp mutant embryos to identify new target genes of Dpp/Mad pathway.

The ChIP-Sequence data of STAT92E in Drosophila adult intestines

Project description:JAK/STAT pathway plays important roles in controlling Drosophila intestinal homeostasis and regulating the ISC proliferation and differentiation. However,the downstream targets of its transcription factor-STAT92E remain largely unknown.To further identify the regualtory mechanisms of the JAK/STAT pathway in controlling intestinal homeostasis,we performed the ChIP-Seq assay with mouse raised STAT92E antibody using JAK/STAT signaling highly activated adult intestines.Through the ChIP assay, we have identified over 1000 significant peaks (p<0.01) around the putative targets.The well-characterized JAK/STAT downstream targets including Domeless,Socs36E,STAT92E and chinmo were identified in our ChIP assay,indicating that our experiment is workable to identify novel JAK/STAT downstream targets in adult intestines.This work will provide insights into our understanding of regulatory mechanisms of JAK/STAT signaling during Drosophila intestinal development.

A Transcription Factor Functional Atlas of Germline Development in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Fertility requires the faithful proliferation of germ cells and their differentiation into gametes. Controlling these cellular states demands precise timing and expression of gene networks. Transcription factors (TFs) play critical roles in gene expression networks that influence germ cell development. There has, however, been no functional analysis of the entire TF repertoire in controlling in vivo germ cell development. Here, we analyzed germ cell states and germline architecture to systematically investigate the function of 364 germline-expressed TFs in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line. Using germline-specific knockdown, automated germ cell counting, and high-content analysis of germ cell nuclei and plasma membrane organization, we identify 156 TFs with discrete autonomous germline functions. By identifying TFs that control the germ cell cycle, proliferation, differentiation, germline structure and fertility, we have created an atlas for mechanistic dissection of germ cell behavior and gamete production.
