Identification of the gene transcription mediated by TGF-β-Smad2/3-Smad4 signaling

ABSTRACT: TGF-β signaling is known to be very much dependent on the formation of Smad2/3-Smad4 transcription regulatory complexes. However, the signaling functions of Smad2/3-Smad4 in TGF-β-induced responses are obscure as TGF-β also initiates a number of other signaling pathways. In this study, we systematically assessed the contribution of TGF-β-Smad2/3-Smad4 signaling to target gene transcription. Individual Smads were selectively knocked down in Hep3B cells by stable RNA interference (RNAi). We identified TGF-β-responsive genes using genome-wide oligonucleotide microarrays and confirmed their dependency on Smad2, Smad3 or Smad4 by the combination of RNAi and microarray assay. The major finding from our microarray analysis was that of the 2039 target genes seen to be regulated via TGF-β induction, 190 were differentially transcriptionally controlled by Smad2-Smad4 and Smad3-Smad4 signaling and the latter control mechanism appeared to be functionally more important. We also found evidence of competition between Smad2 and Smad3 for their activation when controlling the transcription of target genes. Keywords: cell type comparison

Smad2 and Smad3 have differential sensitivity in relaying TGF b signaling and inversely regulate early lineage specification

Project description:The transforming growth factor beta (TGFÎ²) related signaling is one of the most important signaling pathways regulating early developmental events. Smad2 and Smad3 are structurally similar and it is mostly considered that they are equally important in mediating TGFÎ² signals. Here, we show that Smad3 is an insensitive TGFÎ² transducer as compared with Smad2. Smad3 preferentially localizes within the nucleus and is thus sequestered from membrane signaling. The ability of Smad3 in oligomerization with Smad4 upon agonist stimulation is also impaired given its unique linker region. Smad2 mediated TGFÎ² signaling plays a crucial role in epiblast development and patterning of three germ layers. However, signaling unrelated nuclear localized Smad3 is dispensable for TGFÎ² signaling-mediated epiblast specification, but important for early neural development, an event blocked by TGFÎ²/Smad2 signaling. Both Smad2 and Smad3 bind to the conserved Smads binding element (SBE), but they show nonoverlapped target gene binding specificity. We conclude that Smad2 and Smad3 possess differential sensitivities in relaying TGFÎ² signaling and have distinct roles in regulating early developmental events. GFP, GFP-Smad2 and GFP-Smad3 constitutively expressed Smad3-/- mouse ESCs were differentiated to day6 neuroepithelia and collected for Chip-Seq with an anti-GFP antibody.

The phosphorylation of the Smad2/3 linker region by Nemo-like kinase regulates TGF-β signaling

Project description:Smad2 and Smad3 (Smad2/3) primarily mediates the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling that drives cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The dynamics of the Smad2/3 phosphorylation provides the key mechanism for regulating the TGF-β signaling pathway. Here we identified NLK as a novel regulator of TGF-β signaling pathway via modulating the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 in the linker region.

Invasion control by a positive feedback loop mechanism Smad4-null cells

Project description:New findings demonstrate that transcriptional factors alternative to Smad4 can bind to Smad2/3 and mediate different transcriptional effects. In this study, we detected constitutively phosphorylation of Smad2/3 in Smad4-null pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3. Both pan-specific TGF-β-neutralizing antibody and specific TGF-β type I receptor (TβR-I) inhibitor, SB-431542, can decrease steady-state p-Smad2/3 levels. Moreover, exogenous TGF-β strongly stimulated translocation of phosphorylated Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3) into the nucleus. Therefore, we identified TGF-β-responsive genes using genome-wide oligonucleotide microarrays and confirmed their dependency on Smad2/3 by the combination of RNA interference (RNAi) and microarray assay. The major finding from our microarray analysis was that of the 262 target genes seen to be regulated via TGF-β induction, 87 were differentially transcriptionally controlled by Smad2/3 signaling and 175 were Smad2/3-independent. Our results showed that integrin β6 was transcriptionally up-regulated via TGF-β induction in a Smad3-dependent manner, which was validated by real-time RT-PCR and western blot. We also provide evidence that αVβ6 integrin can activate TGF-β-Smad2/3 signaling. Thus, we for the first time suggest the positive feedback loop compose of TGF-β-Smad3 signaling and integrin β6. Functional analysis revealed that exogenous TGF-β can amplify the invasive property of Smad4-deficient pancreatic cancer cells; however, TGF-β-neutralizing antibody, specific TβR-I inhibitor, and anti-αVβ6 integrin antibody can reduce it. Therefore, integrin β6 mediated the invasion of BxPC-3 cells induced by TGF-β signaling. Keywords: cell type comparison

Smad2 and Smad3 binding sites in H345-TbRII cells

Project description:Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta induces apoptosis of many types of cancer cells and acts as a tumor suppressor. We found lower expression of TGF-beta type II receptor (TbRII) in most of SCLC cells and tissues than in normal lung epithelial cells and normal lung tissues, respectively. In vitro cell growth and in vivo tumor formation were suppressed by TGF-beta-mediated apoptosis when the wild-type TbRII was overexpressed in SCLC cells. We therefore determined Smad2 and Smad3 (Smad2/3) binding sites in a SCLC cell line H345 stably expressing exogenous TbRII (H345-TbRII) to identify target genes of TGF-beta. Smad2 and Smad3 binding sites in H345-TbRII cells were determined by ChIP-seq (one sample analysis, without replicates).

SMAD2/3 mediate oncogenic effects of TGF-β in the absence of SMAD4

Project description:The tumor suppressive effects of TGF-β are classically associated with the activation of the “canonical” SMAD-mediated pathway, whereas its oncogenic effects are largely attributed to its “non-canonical signaling”. We herein provide evidence of an oncogenic effect for SMAD2 and 3 in response to TGF-β in SMAD4-null cancer cells. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we report that simultaneous knockout of Smad2 and 3 in Smad4-negative pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells compromises TGF-β-driven collective migration mediated by FAK and Rho/Rac signaling. Moreover, RNA-sequencing analyses highlight a TGF-β gene signature related to aggressiveness mediated by SMAD2 and 3 in the absence of SMAD4. Using PDAC patients cohorts, we reveal that SMAD4-negative tumors with high levels of (phospho)-SMAD2 are more aggressive and have a poorer prognosis. Thus, loss of SMAD4 tumor suppressive activity in PDAC is associated with oncogenic gain-of-function of SMAD2 and 3 and the onset of associated deleterious effects.

Differential effects of Smad2 and Smad3 in regulation of macrophage phenotype and function in the infarcted myocardium

Project description:TGF-βs regulate macrophage responses, by activating Smad2/3. We have previously demonstrated that macrophage-specific Smad3 stimulates phagocytosis and mediates anti-inflammatory macrophage transition in the infarcted heart. However, the role of macrophage Smad2 signaling in myocardial infarction remains unknown. We studied the role of macrophage-specific Smad2 signaling in the healing infarct, and we explored the basis for the distinct effects of Smad2 and Smad3. Infarct macrophages exhibited both Smad2 and Smad3 activation. In contrast to the effects of Smad3 loss, myeloid cell-specific Smad2 disruption had no effects on mortality, ventricular dysfunction and adverse remodeling, after myocardial infarction. Phagocytic removal of dead cells, macrophage and myofibroblast infiltration, collagen deposition, angiogenesis and scar remodeling were not affected by macrophage Smad2 loss. In isolated macrophages, TGF-β1, -β2 and -β3, activated both Smad2 and Smad3, whereas BMP6 triggered only Smad3 activation. Smad2 and Smad3 had similar patterns of nuclear translocation in response to TGF-β1. Smad3, and not Smad2, was the main mediator of transcriptional effects of TGF-β on macrophages and Smad3 loss resulted in enrichment of genes associated with RAR/RXR signaling, cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. In conclusion, the in vivo and in vitro effects of TGF-β on macrophage function involve Smad3, and not Smad2.

RNA-seq in human progenitor epidermal keratinocytes (HPEK) stimulated with TGF-beta.

Project description:Smad family proteins transduce signals downstream of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and are one of the factors that regulate target genes related to diseases affecting the skin. We here identified C2orf54, officially known as MAB21L4, as one of the most up-regulated targets of TGF-beta and Smad3 in a differentiated human progenitor epidermal keratinocyte, using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Smad2 and Smad3 bind to the regulatory regions of the C2orf54 gene locus. We found that TGF-beta induced expression of a barrier protein involucrin (encoded by IVL gene), and transcriptional activity of the IVL promoter induced by TGF-beta was inhibited by siRNAs for C2orf54. Further analysis revealed that C2orf54 siRNAs also down-regulated the expression of several target genes of TGF-beta. C2orf54 protein located mainly in the cytosol, physically bound to Smad2 and Smad3, but did not inhibit the binding of Smad2 and Smad3 to the target genomic regions. These findings suggested that TGF-beta-induced C2orf54 up-regulates gene expression induced by Smads, possibly through its physical interaction with Smad proteins.

Quantitative proteomics of the SMAD transcription factor family reveals IPO5 as a BMP Receptor-SMAD specific importin

Project description:Gene-specific transcription factors (GSTFs) control of gene transcription by DNA binding and specific protein complex recruitment, which regulates promoter accessibility for transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. GSTFs that are frequently mutated in colon and rectal carcinomas are Suppressor of Mothers Against Decapentaplegic 2 (SMAD2) and SMAD4, which play an important role in the TGF-β signaling pathways controlling cell fate and proliferation (ref.). The SMAD protein family is a diverse and it can be divided into three subclasses: receptor activated SMADs, inhibitory SMADs and the common SMAD4 co-activator. To study protein interactors of the SMAD protein family we generated a quantitative proteomics pipeline that allows for inducible expression of GFP-tagged SMAD proteins followed by affinity purification and MS analysis. The nuclear importin IPO5 was identified as a novel interacting protein of SMAD1. Overexpression of IPO5 shows forced BMP R-SMAD nuclear localization confirming a functional relationship between BMP but not TGF-β R-SMADs and IPO5. Finally we provide evidence that the length of the lysine stretch in the NLS is involved in importin selection.
