Project description:M-NM-2-catenin activity of dermal cells is crucial for hair follicle neogenesis and strongly suggest that transcriptional target genes of M-NM-2-catenin pathway are essential for maintaining trichogenicity of dermal cells. We used microarrays to identify genes targeted by the M-NM-2-catenin pathway that are essential for maintaining the trichogenicity of dermal cells. Freshly isolated dermal cells from the dorsal skins of C57BL/6 neonates (P0) were cultured for 24 hours and transfected with either control siRNA or M-NM-2-catenin specific siRNAs (M-NM-2-catenin siRNA) at a final concentration of 10 nM for 48 hours followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Hair follicle formation depends on reciprocal epidermal-dermal interactions and occurs during skin development, but not in adult life. This suggests that the properties of dermal fibroblasts change during postnatal development. To examine this, we used a PdgfraEGFP mouse line to isolate GFP-positive fibroblasts from neonatal skin, adult telogen and anagen skin and adult skin in which ectopic hair follicles had been induced (EF skin) by transgenic epidermal activation of beta-catenin. We also isolated epidermal cells from each mouse. The gene expression profile of EF epidermis was most similar to that of anagen epidermis, consistent with activation of beta-catenin signalling. In contrast, adult dermis with ectopic hair follicles more closely resembled neonatal dermis than adult telogen or anagen dermis. In particular, genes associated with mitosis were upregulated and extracellular matrix-associated genes were downregulated in neonatal and EF fibroblasts. We confirmed that sustained epidermal beta-catenin activation stimulated fibroblasts to proliferate to reach the high cell density of neonatal skin. In addition, the extracellular matrix was comprehensively remodelled, with mature collagen being replaced by collagen subtypes normally present only in developing skin. The changes in proliferation and extracellular matrix composition originated from a specific subpopulation of fibroblasts located beneath the sebaceous gland. Our results show that adult dermis is an unexpectedly plastic tissue that can be reprogrammed to acquire the molecular, cellular and structural characteristics of neonatal dermis in response to cues from the overlying epidermis. We have isolated the following populations of cells from mouse back skin by flow cytometry: 1A) GFP+ WT neonatal dermal fibroblasts, 1B) ItgA6+ WT neonatal epidermal keratinocytes, 2A) GFP+ WT telogen dermal fibroblasts, 2B) ItgA6+ WT telogen epidermal keratinocytes, 3A) GFP+ D2 transient activation (anagen) dermal fibroblasts, 3B) ItgA6+ D2 transient activation (anagen) epidermal keratinocytes, 4A) GFP+ D2 sustained activation (ectopic follicles) dermal fibroblasts, 4B) ItgA6+ D2 sustained activation (ectopic follicles) epidermal keratinocytes

Project description:Forced expression of activated beta-catenin in mouse dermal fibroblasts is sufficient to cause spontaneous, progressive skin fibrosis in vivo. We generated triple-transgenic HoxB6CreERT/+; R26-YFP/+; CatnbΔex3/+ "activated beta-catenin" mice and double-transgenic HoxB6CreERT/+; R26-YFP/+ littermate control mice. We induced Cre activity (resulting in expression of activated beta-catenin in triple-transgenic mutant fetuses) by administering tamoxifen to the pregnant dam at embryonic day 16.5. The activated beta-catenin mice developed fibrotic skin, characterized by elevated collagen deposition and increased fibroblast proliferation. We performed RNA-sequencing to profile gene expression in the dermis of control and activated beta-catenin mutant mice with established skin fibrosis at 3 weeks of age.

Project description:The Wnt pathway is a key regulator of embryonic development, cell growth, differentiation, polarity formation, neural development, carcinogenesis, and stem cell self-renewal, and deregulation of the Wnt signalling is associated with many human disease. The central player in the Wnt pathway is β-catenin, A recent study has shown that β-catenin/Tcf/Lef signaling pathway is an essential growth-regulatory pathway in cardiomyocytes. We used DNA microarrays to detail the global trends in gene expression underlying β-catenin-overexpressed cardiomyocytes and identified distinct classes of up- or down-regulated genes during this process. Our findings suggest that β-catenin plays a critical role in regulating cardiac dysfunction at transcriptional level and may provide novel insight into how β-catenin modulates heart diseases. Cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control or β-catenin adenoviruses for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to define the effects of β-catenin on the global programme of gene expression in primary cardiomyocytes. To that end, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control (G) or β-catenin adenovirus (B) for 24 hours.

Project description:Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling is an essential regulator of various cellular functions throughout development and adulthood. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signalling also contributes to various pathologies including cancer, necessitating an understanding of cell context dependent mechanisms regulating this pathway. Since protein-protein interactions underpin β-catenin function and localization, we sought to identify novel β-catenin interacting partners by affinity purification coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), where β-catenin is involved in both physiological and pathological control of cell proliferation. Here, we report novel components of the VSMC β-catenin interactome.

Project description:To screen biological effects of NTAPP, we performed bulk RNA sequencing on NTAPP-treated human dermal papilla (hDP) cells. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed broad biological effects of NTAPP on hDP cells. Particulaarly, supervised gene ontology analysis suggested that NTAPP-treated hDP cells showed transcriptomic changes in genes associated with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.

Project description: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. In vivo liver samples in 4 conditions: Betacat activated (WCE, Tcf4 chipseq, Betacat chipseq, mRNAseq with 2 replicates), Betacat null (WCE, Tcf4 chipseq, mRNAseq with 2 replicates), Betacat control (mRNAseq with 2 replicates), Wild type (mRNAseq with 2 replicates)

Project description:In colorectal cancer, p53 is commonly inactivated, associated with chemo-resistance, and marks the transition from non-invasive to invasive disease. Cancers, including colorectal cancer, are thought to be diseases of aberrant stem cell populations, as stem cells are able to self-renew, making them long-lived enough to acquire mutations necessary to manifest the disease. We have shown that extracts from sweet sorghum stalk components eliminate colon cancer stem cells (CCSC) in a partial p53-dependent fashion. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the present study, CCSC were transfected with short hairpin-RNA against p53 (CCSC p53 shRNA) and treated with sweet sorghum phenolics extracted from different plant components (dermal layer, leaf, seed head and whole plant). While all components demonstrated anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in CCSC, phenolics extracted from the dermal layer and seed head were more potent in eliminating CCSC by elevating caspases 3/7 activity, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation in a p53-dependent and p53-independent fashion, respectively. Further investigations revealed that the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects were associated with decreases in beta-catenin protein levels, and beta-catenin targets cyclin D1, cMyc, and survivin. These results suggest that the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of sweet sorghum extracts against human colon cancer stem cells are via suppression of Wnt/beta-catenin pro-survival signaling in a p53-dependent (dermal layer) and partial p53-independent (seed head) fashion.
