Clariom D gene array of Bone Marrow derived macrophages

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) presents a formidable clinical challenge due to its complex microenvironment. Here, we introduce lipid droplet (LD)-loaded macrophages, or tumor-associated foam cells (TAFs), as a previously unidentified immune cell population in GBM. Through extensive analyses of patient tumors, together with in vitro and in vivo investigations, we reveal that TAFs exhibit distinct pro-tumorigenic characteristics related to hypoxia, mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and impaired phagocytosis. Moreover, TAF presence correlates with worse patient outcome. Our mechanistic investigations demonstrate that TAF formation is facilitated by lipid cargo from extracellular vesicles released by GBM cells. Importantly, we demonstrate that targeting key enzymes involved in LD formation, such as DGAT1 or ACSL, effectively disrupts TAF functionality. This study establishes TAFs as a prominent immune cell entity in GBM and provides valuable insights into their interplay within the microenvironment. Disruptin

Lipid droplet-loaded macrophages as a targetable pro-tumorigenic immune cell entity in human glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) presents a formidable clinical challenge due to its complex microenvironment.

ChIP-chip from H9 hESCs for RNA Polymerase II, TBP, TAF3, TAF5, TAF7, and TAF11

Project description:The general transcription factor TFIID is composed of the TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) and approximately 14 TBP-associated factors (TAFs). Here we find, unexpectedly, that undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) contain only six TAFs (TAFs 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11), whereas following differentiation all TAFs are expressed. Directed and global chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses reveal an unprecedented promoter occupancy pattern: most active genes are bound by only TAFs 3 and 5 along with TBP, whereas the remaining active genes are bound by TBP and all six hESC TAFs. Consistent with these results, hESCs contain a previously undescribed complex containing TAFs 2, 6, 7, 11 and TBP. Altering the composition of hESC TAFs, either by depletion of TAFs that are present or ectopic expression of TAFs that are absent, results in misregulation of pluripotency gene expression and induction of differentiation. Thus, the selective expression and use of TAFs underlies the ability of hESCs to self-renew. ChIP-chip was used in this study to assess the global pattern of TAF recruitment at a gene promoters, to verify the existence of two classes of genes which differentially recruit and use TAF proteins for transcription initiation.

JMJD6-DGAT1 Signaling Regulates Lipid Metabolism and Tumorigenesis in ccRCC

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents a lethal disease and classically resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of identifying new therapeutic vulnerabilities. We performed a functional siRNA screening for all 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent enzymes in ccRCC using 3-D soft agar colony formation assay, and combined with TCGA data, we identified Jumonji domain-containing 6 (JMJD6) as an essential gene for ccRCC tumorigenesis. Downregulation of JMJD6 abolished ccRCC colony formation in vitro and inhibited orthotopic tumor growth in vivo. Integrated analyses of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq identified that JMJD6 can transcriptionally regulate the expression of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) by co-occupying the target gene promoter with H3K4me3. Downregulation of JMJD6 caused decreased expression of DGAT1 at both mRNA and protein level. Inhibition or depletion of DGAT1 induced decreased cell growth in vitro or inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, decreased DGAT1 caused decreased LD formation in ccRCC, while restoration of JMJD6 expression can restore DGAT1 level, and LD formation as well as cell growth. In summary, JMJD6 is essential for ccRCC lipid storage and tumorigenesis through a DGAT1-dependent signaling. Therefore, the JMJD6-DGAT1 axis serves as a potential therapeutic avenue for ccRCC.

CBFB-DSP-ChIPseq and YAP-DSP-ChIPseq

Project description:We developed a new method to extract open-chromatins that contain trans-acting factors (TAFs)-DNA complex crosslinked with dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DSP). Using this method we identified CBFB as a cell density-sensitive TAF, which translocates between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in cell density-dependent manner. Here, we demonstrate that the extracted TAF/DNA complex is also amenable to ChIP-seq analysis.

Identification of genomic binding sites of a network of core promoter factors in developing Drosophila brains

Project description:The transcriptional mechanisms that allow neural stem cells (NSC) to balance self-renewal with differentiation are not well understood. We identify here a unique subset of TATA -binding protein associated factors (TAFs) as NSC identity genes in Drosophila. We found that depletion of any one of nine TAFs or the TBP-related factor 2 (TRF2), resulted in fewer NSCs exhibiting delayed cell cycle progression without impacting NSC survival. In contrast, depletion of TBP led to a delay in NSC cell cycle progression without loss of self-renewal. An integrated RNA-seq and DamID analysis revealed that TAFs function with both TBP and TRF2, and that TAF-TBP and TAF-TRF2 shared targets genes encode different subsets of transcription factors and RNA-binding proteins with established or emerging roles in NSC identity and brain development. Taken together, our results demonstrate that core promoter factors are selectively required for NSC identity in vivo by promoting cell cycle progression, NSC cell polarity and by preventing premature differentiation. Because pathogenic variants in TAF1, TAF2, TAF6, TAF8 and TAF13 have all been linked to human neurological disorders, this work may stimulate and inform future animal models of TAF-linked neurological disorders.
