Gene expression profiles of HT29 cells in which REG4 expression was suppressed.

ABSTRACT: GATA6 is a zinc finger transcription factor that is required for the proliferation, development and specific gene regulation in the gastrointestinal tract. We have recently reported that GATA6-mediated induction of the intestinal stem cell marker LGR5 is required for the tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells. However, knockdown of LGR5, unlike GATA6, does not affect the proliferation of these cells under adherent conditions. Here we show that REG4, a member of the regenerating islet-derived (REG) family, is a target of GATA6. We further demonstrate that REG4 is downregulated by overexpression of miR-363, which suppresses GATA6 expression. Moreover, we show that GATA6-mediated activation of REG4 causes an acceleration of the growth of colon cancer cells under adherent conditions. These results suggest that GATA6 simultaneously activates the transcription of genes required for growth (REG4) and clonogenicity (LGR5), and the miR-363-GATA6-REG4/LGR5 pathway is critical for colorectal tumorigenesis.

HT29 cells were transfected with a siRNA targeting REG4.

Reg4+ Deep Crypt Secretory cells function as epithelial niche for Lgr5+ stem cells in colon

Project description:Lgr5+ stem cells reside at crypt bottoms of the small and large intestine. Small intestinal Paneth cells supply Wnt3, EGF and Notch signals to neighboring Lgr5+ stem cells. While the colon lacks Paneth cells, Deep Crypt Secretory (DCS) cells are intermingled with Lgr5+ stem cells at crypt bottoms. Here, we report Reg4 as a marker of DCS cells. To investigate a niche function, we eliminated DCS cells using the diphtheria-toxin receptor gene knocked into the murine Reg4 locus. Ablation of DCS cells results in loss of stem cells from colonic crypts and disrupts gut homeostasis and colon mini-gut formation. In agreement, sorted Reg4+ DCS cells promote organoid formation of single Lgr5+ colon stem cells. Stem cells are forced to generate DCS cells in vitro by combined Notch inhibition and Wnt activation. We conclude that Reg4+ DCS cells serve as Paneth cell equivalents in the colon crypt niche.

The transcription factor GATA6 allows self-renewal of colon adenoma stem cells by repressing BMP gene expression.

Project description:Aberrant activation of WNT signaling and loss of BMP signals represent the two main alterations leading to the initiation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we screen for genes required for maintaining the tumor stem cell phenotype and identify the zinc-finger transcription factor GATA6 as key regulator of the WNT and BMP pathways in CRC. GATA6 directly drives the expression of LGR5 in adenoma stem cells while it restricts BMP signaling to differentiated tumor cells. Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 represses BMP4 gene expression through binding to a regulatory region that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Thus, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation. Total RNA from biological replicates of VillinCreERT2Gata6+/+Apcfl/fl and VillinCreERT2Gata6fl/flApcfl/fl colon adenoma tumor organoids grown for one week in control media (see growth protocol).Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzolM-BM-. Plus RNA Purification Kit (Life Technologies).

Gene expression profiles of DLD1 cells in which GATA6 or LGR5 expression was suppressed.

Project description:Mutations in APC or β-catenin that cause aberrant activation of Wnt signaling are responsible for the initiation of colorectal tumor development. LGR5 is specifically expressed in stem cells of the intestine, stomach and hair follicle, and plays essential roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis. LGR5-positive stem cells have been shown to be responsible for the intestinal adenoma initiated by some mutations in APC . Furthermore, it has recently been reported that Lgr5, which is associated with the Frizzled/Lrp Wnt receptor complex, interacts with R-spondins and thereby activates Wnt signaling. However, the function of LGR5 in colorectal tumorigenesis has been unclear. Here we show that LGR5 is required for the tumorigenicity of colorectal cancer cells. We also show that the transcription factor GATA6 directly enhances the expression of LGR5. DLD1 cells were infected with a lentivirus expressing an shRNA targeting GATA6 or LGR5.

Identification of GATA6 target genes in LS174T colorectal cancer cells using gene expression arrays

Project description:Aberrant activation of WNT signaling and loss of BMP signals represent the two main alterations leading to the initiation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we screen for genes required for maintaining the tumor stem cell phenotype and identify the zinc-finger transcription factor GATA6 as key regulator of the WNT and BMP pathways in CRC. GATA6 directly drives the expression of LGR5 in adenoma stem cells while it restricts BMP signaling to differentiated tumor cells. Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 competes with beta-catenin/TCF4 for binding to a distal regulatory region of the BMP4 locus that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Hence, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation.
