TRIM28 interacts with EZH2 and SWI/SNF to activate genes that promote mammosphere formation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: EZH2 is generally associated with H3K27 methylation and gene silencing. Mass spectrometry of the EZH2-interactome in MCF7 cells revealed EZH2-interactions with SWI/SNF subunits and TRIM28, which formed a complex with EZH2 distinct from PRC2. Transcriptome profiling showed that EZH2 primarily activates transcription in MCF7 cells and with TRIM28 co-regulates a set of genes associated with stem cell maintenance and poor survival of breast cancer patients. TRIM28 depletion repressed EZH2 recruitment and expression of this gene set, in parallel with decreased CD44hi/CD24lo mammosphere formation. These results support PRC2-independent functions of EZH2 and TRIM28 in mammary stem cell enrichment and maintenance.

Project description:Undifferentiated mammosphere RNA. Samples contain RNA extracted from the cells of mouse mammospheres. Mammosphere are believed to be comprised of stem/progenitor cells (GSM88038). Differentiated mammosphere RNA. RNA extracted from the cells of mouse mammospheres induced to differentiate over a 6-day period. Mammosphere are believed to be comprised of stem/progenitor cells (GSM88039). Keywords: mammosphere differentiation
Project description:The CD44hi compartment in human breast cancer is enriched in tumor-initiating cells, however the functional heterogeneity within this subpopulation remains poorly defined. From a human breast cancer cell line with a known bi-lineage phenotype we have isolated and cloned CD44hi populations that exhibited mesenchymal/Basal B and luminal/Basal A features, respectively:CD44+/CD24-,Basal B (G4, H6) cells and CD44hi/CD24lo epithelioid Basal A (A4, AB) cells.
Project description:TRIM28, a multi-domain protein, is crucial in the development of mouse embryos and the maintenance of embryonic stem cells (ESC) self-renewal potential. As the epigenetic factor modulating the structure of chromatin, TRIM28 regulates the expression of numerous genes and is associated with progression and poor prognosis in many types of cancer. IPSC served as a model of the cells with stem cell-like phenotype, e.g., cancer stem cells. We evaluated the role of TRIM28 in pluripotency maintenance in iPSC by silencing endogenous TRIM28 expression with siRNA (iPSC-siTRIM28). IPSC treated with siRNA with no target sequence served as a control (siCTRL) of the experiment. Cells lacking TRIM28 lose the expression of pluripotency markers, as well as the ability to self-renew, and they start to differentiate. Pathway enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology datasets showed significant upregulation of pathways related to apoptosis, differentiation, cellular response to DNA damage stimulus and cell cycle regulation in iPSC-siTRIM28, relative to reference iPSC (iPSC-WT and iPSC-siCTRL).
Project description:Mammosphere medium (Grange et al. Neoplasia 2008;10(12):1433-43) contains epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) that may influence transcript expression in a way not necessarily related to the assembly of mammspheres. To identify the set of genes associated mammosphere cell growth medium we analyzed two prototypic situations in triplicate experiments: TUBO cells (a mouse breast cancer cell line derived by Balb-neuT mice) grown in DMEM under adherent conditions (TDA), TUBO cells grown in Mammosphere medium under adherent conditions (TMA).

Project description:We discovered that Trim28 genetic loss in the adult mouse leads to defective immature erythropoiesis in the bone marrow and consequently to anemia.We further found that TRIM28 controls erythropoiesis in a cell-autonomous manner by inducibly deleting Trim28 exclusively in hematopoietic cells. Finally, in the absence of TRIM28 we observed increased apoptosis as well as diminished expression of multiple erythroid transcription factors and heme biosynthetic enzymes in immature erythroid cells. Thus, TRIM28 is essential for the cell-autonomous development of immature erythroblasts in the bone marrow. To induce Cre recombinase from the Mx1Cre transgene, poly(I:C) was injected 5 times every other day. Mice were analyzed two weeks after completion of poly(I:C) administration. TRIM28 mutant mice generate two distinct types of immature erythroid cells; KOa, with 5-8% of the Trim28 gene remaining undeleted (still bearing 26% of residual mRNA), and KOb, with 1-4% of the gene remaining undeleted (and with 18% of mRNA remaining).
