DICKKOPF-1 locates in the nucleus of human differentiated epithelial intestinal and mammary cells and regulates gene expression

ABSTRACT: Wnt/b-catenin pathway is a key modulator of intestinal homeostasis by regulating stem cell biology during gut organogenesis and in adult life. DICKKOPF (DKK)-1 is a secreted inhibitor of Wnt/b-catenin signaling from plasma membrane receptors. We found that in human intestine, DKK-1 locates within the nucleus of differentiated enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells but not of proliferating and stem cells at the bottom of the crypts. DKK-1 is also nuclear in colon cancer cells locating at sites of active gene transcription. ChIP-seq and transcriptomic analysis both confirmed that DKK-1 binds chromatin and regulates gene expression. Thus, we demonstrate that DKK-1 is a multifunctional protein that inhibits Wnt/b-catenin signaling at plasma membrane and controls specific genes in the nucleus, suggesting that these functions are relevant for intestinal homeostasis.

Nuclear DICKKOPF-1 as a biomarker of chemoresistance and poor clinical outcome in colorectal cancer

Project description:Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) insurgence and progression depend on the activation of Wnt/?-catenin signaling. Dickkopf (DKK)-1 is an extracellular inhibitor of Wnt/?-catenin signaling that also has undefined ?-catenin-independent actions. Here we report for the first time that a proportion of DKK-1 locates within the nucleus of healthy small intestine and colon mucosa, and of CRC cells at specific chromatin sites of active transcription. Moreover, we show that DKK-1 regulates several cancer-related genes including the cancer stem cell marker aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) and Ral-binding protein 1-associated Eps domain-containing 2 (REPS2), which are involved in detoxification of chemotherapeutic agents. Nuclear DKK-1 expression is lost along CRC progression; however, it remains high in a subset (15%) of CRC patients (n = 699) and associates with decreased progression-free survival (PFS) after chemotherapy administration and overall survival (OS) [adjusted HR, 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.23-2.21; P = 0.002)]. Overexpression of ALDH1A1 and REPS2 associates with nuclear DKK-1 expression in tumors and correlates with decreased OS (P = 0.001 and 0.014) and PFS. In summary, our findings demonstrate a novel location of DKK-1 within the cell nucleus and support a role of nuclear DKK-1 as a predictive biomarker of chemoresistance in colorectal cancer. Analysis of DKK-1 location and associated roles in human colon cancer cells and crypts of small and large bowel.

Nuclear DICKKOPF-1 as a biomarker of chemoresistance and poor clinical outcome in colorectal cancer

Project description:Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) insurgence and progression depend on the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Dickkopf-1 is down-regulated by MYCN and inhibits neuroblastoma cell proliferation

Project description:Neuroblastomas are tumors of the developing peripheral sympathetic nervous system, which originates from the neural crest. Twenty percent of neuroblastomas show amplification of the MYCN oncogene, which correlates with poor prognosis. The MYCN transcription factor can activate and repress gene expression. To broaden our insight in the spectrum of genes down-regulated by MYCN, we generated gene expression profiles of the neuroblastoma cell lines SHEP-21N and SKNAS-NmycER, in which MYCN activity can be regulated. In this study, we show that MYCN suppresses the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in both cell lines. DKK1 is a potent inhibitor of the wnt/beta-catenin signalling cascade, which is known to function in neural crest cell migration. We generated a DKK1 inducible cell line, IMR32-DKK1, which showed impaired proliferation upon DKK1 expression. Surprisingly, DKK1 expression did not inhibit the canonical wnt/beta-catenin signalling, suggesting a role of DKK1 in an alternative route of the wnt pathway. Gene expression profiling of two IMR32-DKK1 clones showed that only a few genes, amongst which SYNPO2, were up-regulated by DKK1. SYNPO2 encodes an actin-binding protein and was previously found to inhibit proliferation and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that MYCN might stimulate cell proliferation by inhibiting the expression of DKK1. DKK1 might exert part of its growth suppressive effect by induction of SYNPO2 expression.

Dickkopf 3 Promotes the Differentiation of Substantia Nigra Dopaminergic Neurons In Vivo and from Pluripotent Stem Cells In Vitro

Project description:WNT1/beta-catenin signaling plays a crucial role in the generation of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons including the Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) subpopulation, whose degeneration is a hallmark of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). However, the precise functions of WNT/beta-catenin signaling in this context remain unknown. Using mutant mice, primary ventral midbrain (VM) cells and pluripotent stem cells (mouse embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells), we show that Dickkopf 3 (DKK3), a secreted glycoprotein that modulates WNT/beta-catenin signaling, is specifically required for the correct differentiation of a rostrolateral mdDA precursor subset into SNc DA neurons. Dkk3 transcription in the murine VM coincides with the onset of mdDA neurogenesis and is required for the maintenance of LMX1A and consequently PITX3 expression in rostrolateral mdDA precursors, without affecting the proliferation or specification of their progenitors. Treatment of primary VM cells or differentiating pluripotent stem cells with recombinant WNT1 and/or DKK3 proteins consistently increases the proportion of mdDA cells with SNc DA neuron identity and promotes their survival in vitro. The SNc DA pro-differentiation and pro-survival properties of DKK3, together with its known anti-tumorigenic effect, therefore make it an ideal candidate for the improvement of regenerative and neuroprotective strategies in the treatment of PD.

RNA-seq analysis of dickkopf-3 knockout and C57Bl/6 mice kidneys 7 days after unilateral ureteral obstruction

Project description:Renal tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis are common hallmarks of etiologically different progressive chronic kidney diseases (CKD) that eventually result in organ failure. We identify Dickkopf-3 (Dkk3) as a stress-induced, tubular epithelia-derived mediator of kidney fibrosis. Genetic as well as antibody-mediated abrogation of Dkk3 led to reduced tubular atrophy and decreased interstitial matrix accumulation in two mouse models of renal fibrosis. This was accompanied by an amplified, anti-fibrogenic, inflammatory response within the injured kidney. Mechanistically, Dkk3 deficiency led to diminished canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling in stressed tubular epithelial cells. To identify global changes in gene expression due to the lack of Dkk3, whole-transcriptome sequencing (mRNA-seq) was performed on RNA isolated from kidneys of Wt and Dkk3-/- mice 7 days after UUO.
