T-cell factor 4 and β-catenin chromatin occupancies pattern zonal liver metabolism.

ABSTRACT: β-catenin signaling can be both a physiological and an oncogenic pathway in the liver. It controls compartmentalized gene expression, allowing the liver to ensure its essential metabolic function. It is activated by mutations in 20 to 40% of hepatocellular carcinomas with specific metabolic features. We decipher the molecular determinants of β-catenin-dependent zonal transcription using mice with β-catenin-activated or -inactivated hepatocytes, characterizing in vivo their chromatin occupancy by Tcf4 and β-catenin, their transcriptome and their metabolome. We find that Tcf4 DNA-bindings depend on β-catenin. Tcf4/β-catenin binds Wnt-responsive elements preferentially around β-catenin-induced genes. In contrast, genes repressed by β-catenin bind Tcf4 on Hnf4-responsive elements. β-catenin, Tcf4 and Hnf4α interact, dictating β-catenin transcription which is antagonistic to that elicited by Hnf4α. Finally, we find the drug/bile metabolism pathway to be the one most heavily targeted by β-catenin, partly through xenobiotic nuclear receptors. We conclude that β-catenin patterns the zonal liver together with Tcf4, Hnf4α and xenobiotic nuclear receptors. This network represses lipid metabolism, and exacerbates glutamine, drug and bile metabolism, mirroring hepatocellular carcinomas with β-catenin mutational activation.

Dual β-catenin and γ-catenin loss in hepatocytes impacts their polarity through altered TGFβ and HNF4⍺ signaling

Project description:Hepatocytes are highly polarized epithelia. Loss of hepatocyte polarity is associated with various liver diseases, including cholestasis. However, the molecular underpinnings of hepatocyte polarization remain poorly understood. Previously, we have shown that loss of β-catenin at adherens junctions (AJs) is compensated by β-catenin and dual loss of both catenins in dual knockouts (DKO) in mice liver leads to progressive intrahepatic cholestasis. However, the clinical relevance of this observation, and further phenotypic characterization of the phenotype, is important. Here, we identify simultaneous loss of β- and γ-catenin in a subset of liver samples from patients of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Hepatocytes in DKO mice exhibited defect in apical-basolateral localization of polarity proteins, impaired bile canaliculi formation, and loss of microvilli. Loss of polarity in DKO livers manifested as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, increased hepatocyte proliferation, and suppression of hepatocyte differentiation, which was associated with up-regulation of TGFβ signaling and repression of Hnf4α expression and activity. In conclusion, concomitant loss of the two catenins in the liver may be playing a pathogenic role in subsets of cholangiopathies. Our findings also support a previously unknown role β- and γ-catenin in the maintenance of hepatocyte polarity. Improved understanding of the regulation of hepatocyte polarization processes by β and γ-catenin could potentially benefit development of new therapies for cholestasis.

Hepatocyte identity and zonal position determine tumourigenic potential of mutant β-catenin

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in otherwise normal tissue are common in many adult tissues. This suggests multiple events need to converge to drive tumourigenesis and that many processes such as tissue differentiation may be protective against carcinogenesis. Within the liver Wnt/β-catenin signalling maintains zonal differentiation during liver homeostasis. However, the CTNNB1 oncogene—encoding β-catenin—is also frequently mutated in hepatocellular carcinoma, resulting in aberrant Wnt signalling that promotes cell growth. Here we investigated the antagonistic interplay between Wnt-driven growth and differentiation in zonal hepatocyte populations during liver tumorigenesis. In a model that acutely recombined mutant Wnt (Ctnnb1-ex3) and MYC alleles, we found that β-catenin mutants transiently stimulated growth in zone-1 and -2 hepatocytes within the Wnt-low region of the liver lobule – before inducing a differentiated zone-3 fate. To investigate the role of translation in this model of wnt and myc driven growth we performed Ribosome sequencing of whole liver at the early proliferative stage and the later differentiated stage. We found that Mutamt B-Catenin and MYC livers had a unique tanslational efficiency , which promted translation of RNA transcripts associated with growth.

Diabetes risk gene and Wnt effector Tcf7l2/TCF4 controls hepatic response to perinatal and adult metabolic demand

Project description:Most studies on TCF7L2 SNP variants in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) focus on a role of the encoded transcription factor TCF4 in β-cells. Here, a mouse genetics approach shows that removal of TCF4 from β-cells does not affect their function, while manipulating TCF4 levels in the liver has major effects on metabolism. In Tcf7l2-/- mice, the immediate postnatal surge in liver metabolism does not occur. Consequently, pups die due to hypoglycemia. Combining chromatin immunoprecipitation with gene expression profiling, we identify a TCF4-controlled metabolic gene program that is acutely activated in the postnatal liver. In concordance, adult liver-specific Tcf7l2 knockout mice show reduced hepatic glucose production during fasting and display improved glucose homeostasis when maintained on high-fat diet. Furthermore, liver-specific TCF4 overexpression increases hepatic glucose production. These observations imply that TCF4 directly activates metabolic genes, and that inhibition of Wnt signaling may be beneficial in metabolic disease.

Epigenomic analysis of micro-dissected human liver reveals principles of zonated morphogenic and metabolic control

Project description:To investigate the underlying molecular principles of metabolic and morphogenic zonation of the human liver lobule, we generated an integrated epigenetic map across three zones (pericentral, intermediate and periportal) by methylation and transcriptomic analysis of hepatocytes captured by laser micro-dissection. We observe a deep link between epigenetic zonation of human liver and a zonated expression of metabolic and morphogenic pathways: Key transcriptionally zonated enzymes in xenobiotic and glutamine metabolism show a strong anticorrelated methylation gradient indicating that zonal expression of these genes is partly controlled by epigenetic programs. Zonated DNA-methylation at binding sites of uniformly expressed transcription factors such as HNF4A and RXRα points to an epigenetic layer in regulatory networks and a zonated activity of their nuclear ligands and drugs such as fibrates and bile acids. The same holds for genes of the wnt morphogen pathway whose expression show a zonated methylation at binding sites of TCF4L2. A strong pericentral expression of LGR5 and AXIN2 and a corresponding expression gradient of the liver progenitor marker TBX3, indicates a predominant pericentral source of hepatocyte regeneration under steady-state conditions in humans. Conversely, the periportal expression of NOTCH and EPCAM at the border to the biliary tree as source of regeneration under injury conditions. Overall our data provide a deep understanding of molecular control of the zonal organisation in the human liver.

Expression data from Control or TRIB3-silenced HCT-8 cells

Project description:To determine the critical mediator of TRIB3-enhanced Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, we examined the expression profile of genes that might regulate Wnt/beta-catenin by using mRNA microarrays. Aberrant activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is a major reason for the tumorigenesis of Colon cancer. However, no specific drug targeting this pathway has been in the market. Surgery combined with cytotoxic drugs are still the major therapy methods toward colon cancer. These highlighted the need for therapeutics with alternative mechanisms of action. Here we report that the elevated TRIB3 expression associates positively with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. TRIB3 interacts with beta-catenin and TCF4 to enhance the associations between TCF4/beta-catenin target genes’ promoters, which upregulates the transcriptional activity of beta-catenin, thus to promote the CSC stemness and colon cancer tumorigenesis.

Liver-specific matrin-3 knockout alters the chromatin accessibility in the liver of mice [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Matrin-3 is an RNA-binding protein involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases. Here we examined its previously uncharacterized role in regulating chromatin accessibility in the liver of mice. Bulk ATAC-seq and bioinformatics analysis identified 523 and 829 differential peaks (FDR < 0.05), respectively, in the liver of female mice fed a chow diet or 60% HFD for 16 weeks. Peak annotation by HOMER and ChIPseeker identified 183 and 444 genes, respectively, that are associated with the differential peaks. Enrichr analysis of these genes revealed that Hallmark terms such as "Xenobiotic metabolism" was enriched in the liver of chow-fed and HFD-fed mice. TRRUST database analysis from Metascape uncovered that Hnf4α is the main transcription factor regulating these peak-associated genes in the liver of chow-fed mice, and Hnf4α and Nr1i3 are the main transcription factors regulating these peak-associated genes in the liver of HFD-fed mice. Our data demonstrated that liver-specific matrin-3 deficiency alters chromatin accessibility likely affecting the action of two transcription factors Hnf4α and Nr1i3 in the liver of mice.

Interference with the HNF4-dependent gene regulatory network diminishes ER stress in hepatocytes

Project description:In all eukaryotic cell types, the unfolded protein response (UPR) upregulates factors that promote protein folding and misfolded protein clearance to help alleviate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Yet ER stress in the liver is uniquely accompanied by the suppression of metabolic genes, the coordination and purpose of which is largely unknown. Here, we combined in silico machine learning, in vivo liver-specific deletion of the master regulator of hepatocyte differentiation HNF4α, and in vitro manipulation of hepatocyte differentiation state to determine how the UPR regulates hepatocyte identity, and toward what end. Machine learning identified a cluster of correlated genes that were profoundly suppressed by persistent ER stress in the liver. These genes, which encode diverse functions including metabolism, coagulation, drug detoxification, and bile synthesis, are likely targets of the master regulator of hepatocyte differentiation HNF4α. The response of these genes to ER stress was phenocopied by liver-specific deletion of HNF4α. Strikingly, while deletion of HNF4α exacerbated liver injury in response to an ER stress challenge, it also diminished UPR activation and partially preserved ER ultrastructure, suggesting attenuated ER stress. Conversely, pharmacological maintenance of hepatocyte identity in vitro enhanced sensitivity to stress. Together, our findings suggest that the UPR regulates hepatocyte identity through HNF4α to protect ER homeostasis even at the expense of liver function.
