The JNK and Hippo pathways control epithelial integrity and prevent tumour initiation by regulating an overlapping transcriptome [DamID-seq]

ABSTRACT: Epithelial organs maintain their integrity and prevent tumour initiation by actively removing defective cells, such as those that have lost apicobasal polarity. Here, we identify how transcription factors of two key signalling pathways – Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Hippo – regulate epithelial integrity by controlling transcription of an overlapping set of target genes. Targeted DamID experiments reveal that in proliferating cells of the Drosophila melanogaster eye, the AP-1 transcription factor Jun, and the Hippo pathway transcription regulators Yorkie and Scalloped bind to a common suite of target genes that regulate organ growth. In defective neoplastic cells, AP-1 transcription factors repress transcription of growth genes together with the CtBP co-repressor. If gene repression by AP-1/CtBP fails, neoplastic tumour growth ensues, driven by Yorkie/Scalloped. Thus, AP-1/CtBP eliminates defective cells and prevents tumour initiation by acting in parallel to Yorkie/Scalloped to repress expression of a shared transcriptome. These findings shed new light on the maintenance of epithelial integrity and tumour suppression.

Genome-wide analysis of Yki and Sd localization in imaginal disks of Drosophila eye by ChIP Seq

Project description:Throughout Metazoa, developmental processes are controlled by a surprisingly limited number of conserved signaling pathways. Precisely how these signaling cassettes were assembled in early animal evolution remains poorly understood, as do the molecular transitions that potentiated the acquisition of their myriad developmental functions. Here we analyze the molecular evolution of the proto-oncogene YAP/Yorkie, a key effector of the Hippo signaling pathway that controls organ size in both Drosophila and mammals. Based on heterologous functional analysis of evolutionarily distant Yap/Yorkie orthologs, we demonstrate that a structurally distinct interaction interface between Yap/Yorkie and its partner TEAD/Scalloped became fixed in the eumetazoan common ancestor. We then combine transcriptional profiling of tissues expressing phylogenetically diverse forms of Yap/Yorkie with ChIP-seq validation in order to identify a common downstream gene expression program underlying the control of tissue growth in Drosophila. Intriguingly, a subset of the newly-identified Yorkie target genes are also induced by Yap in mammalian tissues, thus revealing a conserved Yap-dependent gene expression signature likely to mediate organ size control throughout bilaterian animals. Combined, these experiments provide new mechanistic insights while revealing the ancient evolutionary history of Hippo signaling. We sought to determine Yki and Sd target genes in Drosophila by immunoprecipitation of Yki, sd and RNA polymerase II. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Yki, sd, and RNA polymerase II from eye disks was performed.

Combined, these experiments provide new mechanistic insights while revealing the ancient evolutionary history of Hippo signaling. We sought to define the downstream target genes of selected Yap variants by performing RNA sequencing analysis (RNA-seq) on total RNA isolated from GMR-Gal4>Yap eye discs. Transcriptional profiles were generated in triplicate from eye imaginal disks with either endogenous Yki, or GMR-Gal4 over-expressed Yki, Trichoplax Yap, Monosiga Yap, or Monisiga Yap+TEAD domain, using deep sequencing via Illumina Hi Seq.

Gene expression profile of mouse liver cancer (Sav1 and Mst1/2 Knockout models)

Project description:Hippo pathway is evolutionarily well conserved. All core components of the pathway identified to date have one or more mammalian orthologs, including MST1/2 (Hippo), SAV1 (Salvador, also known as WW45), LATS1/2 (Warts), MOB1 (Mats), YAP1 and its paralog WWTR1 (also known as TAZ) (Yorkie), and TEAD1/2/3/4 (Scalloped). Ectopic over-expression of YAP1 in mouse liver led to develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the world, and accounts for an estimated 600,000 deaths annually. Lack of molecular classification and clinical heterogeneity of this malignant disease hampered the development of standardized treatment. To investigate roles of Hippo pathway in liver carcinogenesis, we generated liver-specific Mst1/2 -/- and Sav1 -/- mouse models and collected gene expression data from them. Our study provided new understanding on molecular characteristics of HCC. Sav1 and Mst1/2 Knockout models

Gene espression Profile by YAP1 and TAZ

Project description:The Hippo signaling pathway is evolutionarily well conserved, and all core components have one or more mammalian orthologs, including MST1/2 (Hippo), SAV1 (Salvador), LATS1/2 (Warts), MOB1 (Mats), YAP1/TAZ (Yorkie), and TEAD1/2/3/4 (Scalloped) (Halder and Johnson, 2011; Pan, 2007; Dong et al., 2007; Saucedo and Edgar, 2007). When Hippo signaling is active, YAP1/TAZ is phosphorylated by LATS1/2 and sequestered by 14-3-3 proteins in cytoplasm. When Hippo signaling is absent, unphosphorylated YAP1/TAZ enters the nucleus and increases transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell proliferation and survival. The indispensability of the Hippo pathway in restricting cell growth and proliferation has prompted speculation that many members of the pathway might be involved in tumorigenesis. To see the effect of YAP1 and TAZ in HCC cell, we generated gene expression profile.

Genome-wide binding of Yki and GAF in embryos and wing imaginal discs [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The Hippo pathway regulates metazoan growth, acting through the transcriptional co-activators Yorkie (in Drosophila) and Yap and Taz (in vertebrates). Much attention has been focused on upstream regulators of Yorkie and its homologues. In contrast, the mechanisms by which they actually promote transcription have remained poorly understood. Genome-wide chromatin binding experiments support extensive functional overlap between Yorkie and GAF. Chromatin binding identifies thousands of Yorkie sites, the majority of which are associated with elevated transcription, based on genome-wide analysis of mRNA and histone H3K4Me3 modification. Our studies establish a molecular basis for transcriptional activation by Yorkie and implicate it as a global regulator of transcriptional activity in Drosophila. This is a dataset generated by the Drosophila Regulatory Elements modENCODE Project led by Kevin P. White at the University of Chicago. This dataset was generated in collaboration with Ken Irvine at HHMI/Rutgers University and Richard S. Mann at Columbia University. It contains RNA-seq data for larval wing imaginal discs.
