Modulation of Gene Expression by Substrate Stiffness via Regulation of Histone H2B Mono-ubiquitination

ABSTRACT: Mechanotransduction plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism. Cells respond to mechanical signals, which ultimately induces gene expression. However, the underlying mechanisms of this gene regulation remain largely unclear. In previous research, we discovered that the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes UBE2A and UBE2B translocate between the cytoplasm and nucleus in a force-dependent manner. Additionally, we confirmed that UBE2A and UBE2B ubiquitinate histone H2B at lysine 120 (K120) when cells are cultured on a stiff substrate. In this study, we employed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to investigate the distribution of H2B mono-ubiquitination in human skeletal muscle (hsSKM) cells cultured on substrates of varying stiffness—soft (0.2 kPa) and stiff (64 kPa).

Next-generation sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of rat BMSCs in soft or stiff SA hydrogel

Project description:Purpose: To identify genes and the molecular pathways involved in the MSCs response to extracellular matrix stiffness, we performed RNA-sequencing of MSCs which cultured in soft (2 kPa) and stiff (18 kPa) SA hydrogels. Methods: mRNA profiles of MSCs cultured in soft (2 kPa) and stiff (18 kPa) SA hydrogel for 48 h were generated by deep sequencing, in quadruplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we identified 33950 transcripts in MSCs with BWA workflow. Conclusions: Our results present the detailed analysis of MSCs transcriptomes cultured in soft (2 kPa) and stiff (18 kPa) matrix, and found that matrix stiffness dominated multiple mRNA pathways in MSCs.

Small extracellular vesicles promote stiffness-mediated metastasis

Project description:Tissue stiffness is a critical prognostic factor in breast cancer and is associated with metastatic progression. Here we show an alternative and complementary hypothesis of tumor progression whereby physiological matrix stiffness affects the quantity and protein cargo of small EVs produced by cancer cells, which in turn aid cancer cell dissemination. Primary patient breast tissue produces significantly more EVs from stiff tumor tissue than soft tumor adjacent tissue. EVs released by cancer cells on matrices that model human breast tumors (25 kPa; stiff EVs) feature increased adhesion molecule presentation (ITGα2β1, ITGα6β4, ITGα6β1, CD44) compared to EVs from softer normal tissue (0.5 kPa; soft EVs), which facilitates their binding to extracellular matrix (ECM) protein collagen IV, and a 3-fold increase in homing ability to distant organs in mice. In a zebrafish xenograft model, stiff EVs aid cancer cell dissemination. Moreover, normal, resident lung fibroblasts treated with stiff and soft EVs change their gene expression profiles to adopt a cancer associated fibroblast (CAF) phenotype. These findings show that EV quantity, cargo, and function depend heavily on the mechanical properties of the extracellular microenvironment.

RNA level differences between neurons in soft and stiff environments

Project description:Hippocampal rat neurons have been cultured on very soft (100 Pa) and stiff (10 kPa) hydrogels for 7 days. On DIV7, the RNA has been extracted and sequenced. The goal of this experiment is to understand why neurons mature more quickly on soft gels compared to stiff gels.

Substrate stiffness-dependent gene expression profile for cortical neurons

Project description:We undertook mRNA microarray and gene ontology analyses to screen out substrate stiffness-dependent genes. Total mRNA were extracted from E17 cortical neurons grown on soft or stiff substrates at 5 or 16 hr time points. We identified 114 differentially-expressed mRNA transcripts in cells grown on 0.1 kPa and 20 kPa gels at the 5 hr time-point. Among them, 66 were upregulated in 0.1 kPa gel cultures and the remainder were downregulated (compared to cells grown on stiffer substrates). The expressions of three endocytic genes (Cltc, Dab2, and Myo6) and four adhesion genes(Vcl, Robo2, Nrcam, and Cad11) were confirmed by QGP and smRNA FISH.

Human Endothelial cell microRNA expression in high and low stiffness

Project description:Purpose: mechanical homeostasis is a crucial process for Humen dermal fibroblast cell (HDFs) survival and functionality. Cell can sense environmental change and modify the expression of extracellular matrix, focal adhesion and cytoskeleton protein to maintain the correct mechanical homeostasis. In this study we observed change in microRNA levels linked with mechanical response. HDFs were seeded for 48 our on PDMS 3 kPa and 30 kPa substrate coating with fibronectin to simulate "soft" and "stiff" substrate, then sRNA-seq was performed.

GlcNAcylation of histone H2B facilitates its monoubiquitination [Illumina Genome Analyzer data]

Project description:We report that histone GlcNAcylation of H2B S112 is a vital histone modification which facilitates histone monoubiquitination (ub). In a genome-wide analysis, H2B S112 GlcNAcylation sites were observed widely distributed over entire chromosomes including transcribed gene loci, together with co-localization of H2B S112 GlcNAcylation and K120 ub. Examination of H2B S112 GlcNAc and H2B K120 ub in HeLa S3 cells

GlcNAcylation of histone H2B facilitates its monoubiquitination [Affymetrix data]

Project description:We have found that histone H2B is GlcNAcylated at residue S112 by O-GlcNAc transferase and that H2B S112 GlcNAcylation fluctuates in response to extracellular glucose level. We have also found that H2B S112 GlcAcylation promotes H2B K120 ubiquitination. To investigate whether these histone modification correlate to transcriptional activation, we performed comprehensive gene expression analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip in HeLa cell cultured with different conditions, i.e. without glucose, with glucose and with FBS.

RNASeq of early and late passage (non-senescent and senescent) human mesenchymal stem cells cultured on soft (2 kPa) and stiff (25 kPa) collagen-I coated polyacrylamide gels.

Project description:Understanding how cells respond to the mechanics of their environment, and what affect senescence may have on this response, is important to gain a better understanding of mechanobiology, both in health and ageing-associated pathology. This experiment assessed the mRNA levels in early and late passage donor-matched human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured for four days on soft (2 kPa) or stiff (25 kPa) collagen-I coated polyacrylamide (PA) gels. A minimum of three donors were analysed under each condition. Protein coding RNAs were sequenced with Illumina HiSeq technology. In a parallel experiment, protein was quantified by mass spectrometry proteomics.
