Project description:Analysis of change in transcriptosome after TRα or TRβ knockdown in hADSC. Analysis of effects of siRNA transfection (siCtrl, siTRα, siTRβ or siETV5) in hADSC at gene expression level.The hypothesis tested in the present study was that unliganded TRα and TRβ have distinctive roles in these cells. Total RNA was obtained from hADSC, transfected with siCtrl, siTRα, siTRβ or ETV5. siTRα, siTRβ or siETV5 samples were compared to siCtrl samples.

Project description:Synthetic selective thyroid hormone (TH) receptor (TR) modulators (STRMs) exhibit beneficial effects on dyslipidemias in animals and humans and reduce obesity, fatty liver and insulin resistance in preclinical animal models. STRMs differ from native THs in preferential binding to the TRβ subtype versus TRα, increased uptake into liver and reduced uptake into other tissues. However, selective modulators of other nuclear receptors (NRs) exhibit important gene-selective actions which have been attributed to differential effects on receptor conformation and dynamics and these effects can have profound influences in animals and humans. While there are suggestions that STRMs could exhibit such gene-specific actions, the extent to which these effects are actually observed in vivo has not been explored. Here, we show that saturating concentrations of the main active form of TH, triiodothyronine (T3), and the prototype STRM GC-1 induce identical gene-sets in livers of euthyroid and hypothyroid mice and a human cultured hepatoma cell line that only expresses TRβ, HepG2. We find one case in which GC-1 exhibits a modest gene-specific reduction in potency versus T3, at angiopoietin-like factor 4 (ANGPTL4) in HepG2. Investigation of the latter effect confirms that GC-1 acts through TRβ to directly induce this gene. However, this gene-selective GC-1 activity is not related to unusual T3 response element (TRE) sequence, unlike previously documented promoter-selective STRM actions. Together, our data suggest that T3 and GC-1 exhibit almost identical gene regulation properties and that gene-selective actions of GC-1 and similar STRMs will be subtle and rare. We treated HepG2 with vehicle or 10nM ligand (T3 or GC1; n=3 / treatment), analyzing mRNA 24h post treatment [Affymetrix]. We also treated 9-week old euthyroid male C57/Bl6 mice with vehicle or ligand (T3 or GC-1) by a single oral gavage (n=5 per treatment) and also performed a similar study in which mice were first made hypothyroid by two week feeding on iodine deficient diet (n=3-4 per treatment), analyzing mRNA 24h post treatment [Illumina].

Project description:The thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRβ) is a tumor suppressor in multiple types of solid tumors, most prominently in breast and thyroid cancer. An increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which TRβ abrogates tumorigenesis could aid in understanding the core tumor suppressive program that TRβ facilitates. Here, we introduce TRβ into the MDA-MB-468 basal-like breast cancer cell line and perform RNA-sequencing to determine changes in transcriptomic signaling. The TRβ expressing MDA-MB-468 cells exhibit a more epithelial character as determined by PCA-PAM50 score and through repression of mesenchymal cytokeratins. The epithelial to mesenchymal transition pathway is also significantly reduced. The MDA-MB-468 dataset was also compared to RNA sequencing results from the thyroid cancer line SW1736 to determine which genes are TRβ regulated across both tissue types. Stearate biosynthesis was revealed as upregulated from the shared gene set, a lipid which is known to repress breast tumorigenesis, as were chromatin remodeling pathways. These data provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms by which TRβ suppresses breast tumorigenesis and suggests a common metabolic role in breast and thyroid cancer as well a role for TRβ in the maintenance of epithelial cellular identity.

Project description:The thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRβ), a key regulator of cellular growth and differentiation, is frequently dysregulated in cancers. Diminished expression of TRb is noted in thyroid, breast, and other solid tumors and is correlated with more aggressive disease. Restoration of TRb levels decreased tumor growth supporting the concept that TRb could function as a tumor suppressor. Yet, the TRb tumor suppression transcriptome is not well delineated and the impact of TRb is unknown in aggressive anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). Here, we establish that restoration of TRb expression in the human ATC cell line SW1736 (SW-TRβ) reduces the aggressive phenotype, decreases cancer stem-cell populations and induces cell death in a T3-dependent manner. Transcriptomic analysis of SW-TRβ cells via RNA-sequencing revealed distinctive expression patterns induced by ligand-bound TRβ and revealed novel molecular signaling pathways. Of note, liganded TRβ repressed multiple nodes in the PI3K/AKT pathway, induced expression of thyroid differentiation markers, and promoted pro-apoptotic pathways. Our results further revealed the JAK1-STAT1 pathway as a novel, T3-mediated, anti-tumorigenic pathway that can be activated in additional ATC lines. These findings elucidate a TRb-driven tumor suppression transcriptomic signature, highlight unexplored therapeutic options for ATC, and support TRb activation as a promising therapeutic option in cancers.

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) and TH receptors (TRs) α and β act by binding to TH response elements (TREs) in regulatory regions of target genes. This nuclear signaling is established as the canonical pathway for TH action. In addition, however, TRs can activate intra-cellular second messenger signaling pathways. Whether such non-canonical TR signaling is physiologically relevant in vivo is unknown. Here we generated knock-in mice with a mutation in the TR DNA-binding domain that abrogates binding to DNA and TREs and leads to a complete loss of canonical TH action. We show that several important physiological TH effects are preserved despite disrupted DNA-binding, most notably heart rate, body temperature, blood glucose and triglyceride concentration, all of which were regulated by non-canonical TR signaling. Additionally, we confirm that TRE-binding defective TRβ leads to disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis with resistance to TH, while mutation of TRα causes a severe delay in skeletal development, showing TRE-mediated and tissue-specific canonical signaling. Our findings provide first in vivo evidence that non-canonical TR signaling exerts important cardiometabolic effects, which are clearly separated from canonical actions. Consequently, these data challenge the current paradigm that TH action is exclusively mediated through regulation of gene transcription at the nuclear level.

Project description:To further characterize the role of the unliganded glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in breast cells, we used an shRNA vector directed against GR to create EPH-4 mouse mammary cell lines with depleted endogenous levels of this receptor. RNA prepared from normal (EV-50) and GR-depleted (shGR-19) cells was used in an expression microarray screen for targets of unliganded GR. This analysis revealed 260 targets of negaive regulation by unliganded GR, and 343 targets of positive regulation by unliganded GR, several of which were involved in pro-apoptotic networks, and opposed the activity of liganded GR targets. This work presents the first screen for targets of unliganded GR. We propose that the balance between liganded and unliganded GR signaling is responsible for controlling differentiation and apoptosis, respectively, and suggest that gene regulation by unliganded GR may represent a mechanism of reducing the risk of breast tumourigenesis.
