Transcriptome analysis of Wnt knockdown embryos reveals candidate canonical Wnt/β-catenin target genes during Xenopus laevis gastrulation

ABSTRACT: The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays multiple roles during Xenopus gastrulation, including posteriorization of the neural plate, patterning of the mesoderm, and induction of the neural crest. Wnt signaling stabilizes β-catenin, which then activates target genes. However, few targets of this signaling pathway that mediate early developmental processes are known. Here we sought to identify transcriptional targets of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway using a genome-wide approach.

Efficient induction of Gcm1 under folate deficiency promotes vertebrate neural development by Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation

Project description:Wnt signaling plays a major role in early neural development. An aberrant activation in Wnt/β-catenin pathway leads to defective anteroposterior patterning, resulting in neural tube closure defects (NTDs). Changes in folate metabolism may participate in early embryo fate determination. We report here that in C57BL/6C mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC), folate deficiency activates Wnt/β-catenin pathway by upregulating a chorion-specific transcription factor Gcm1. Specifically, folate deficiency promotes the formation of the Gcm1/β-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF4) complex to regulate the Wnt target gene transactivation through the Wnt-responsive elements. Moreover, the enhanced transcriptional activity of Gcm1 is found to be dependent on CREB binding protein. Lastly, in NTDs mouse models and low folate NTDs human brain samples, Gcm1 and Wnt/β-catenin target genes related to neural tube closure are specifically overexpressed. These results indicate that low folate promotes Wnt/β-catenin signaling via activating Gcm1, leading to aberrant vertebrate neural development

FOX transcription factors are common regulators of Wnt/β-catenin signaling

Project description:The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a critical regulator of development and stem cell maintenance. Mounting evidence suggests that the context-specific outcome of Wnt signaling is determined by the collaborative action of multiple transcription factors, including members of the highly conserved forkhead box (FOX) protein family. The contribution of FOX transcription factors to Wnt signaling has not been investigated in a systemic manner. Here, by combining β-catenin reporter assays with Wnt pathway-focused qPCR arrays and proximity proteomics of selected FOX family members, we determine that most FOX proteins are involved in the regulation of Wnt pathway activity and the expression of Wnt ligands and target genes. We conclude that FOX proteins are common regulators of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway that may control the outcome of Wnt signaling in a tissue-specific manner.

A Novel Role of Wnt/β Catenin Signaling in Regulating the Nucleolus in Triple Negative Breast CancerA Novel Role of Wnt/β Catenin Signaling in Regulating the Nucleolus in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. One key signaling pathway known to regulate tumor growth, metabolic adaptation, and cellular stress response in breast cancer is Wnt signaling. Breast cancer patients, specifically triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), with upregulated Wnt signaling often have a poor clinical prognosis. However, the effects of Wnt/β-catenin signaling on the nucleolus and the resultant impact on cancer development and progression remain unclear. A notable reduction was observed in the number of nucleoli per nucleus in response to Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibition in multiple TNBC cell lines. Our comparative proteomic analysis revealed several changes in the composition of the nucleolar proteome of TNBC cells upon inhibition of Wnt signaling. Overall, we demonstrate that Wnt/β-catenin signaling will affects nucleolar functionality and thus influences breast cancer progression. Understanding the role of Wnt signaling in the nucleolus and breast cancer is a critical step towards developing novel therapeutic options for the treatment of breast cancer.

Protein proximity networks and functional evaluation of the Casein Kinase 1 γ family reveals unique roles for CK1γ3 in WNT signaling

Project description:The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway is evolutionarily conserved and controls normal embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. Aberrant activation or suppression of WNT signaling contributes to cancer initiation and progression, developmental disorders, neurodegeneration, and bone disease. Despite great need and more than 40 years of research, targeted therapies for the WNT pathway have yet to be fully realized. Kinases are exceptionally druggable and occupy key nodes within the WNT signaling network, but several pathway-relevant kinases remain understudied and ‘dark’. Here we studied the function of the CSNK1g subfamily of human kinases. miniTurbo-based proximity biotinylation and mass spectrometry analysis of CSNK1γ1, CSNK1γ2, and CSNK1γ3 revealed numerous established components of the β-catenin-dependent and independent WNT signaling pathways, as well as novel interactors. In gain-of-function experiments using a panel of transcriptional reporters, CSNK1γ3 but not CSNK1γ1 or CSNK1γ2 activated β-catenin-dependent WNT signaling, with minimal effect on other signaling pathways. Within the family, CSNK1γ3 expression uniquely induced LRP6 phosphorylation. Conversely, siRNA-mediated silencing of CSNK1γ3 alone had no impact on WNT signaling, though co-silencing of all three family members decreased WNT pathway activity. We characterized two moderately selective and potent small molecule inhibitors of the CSNK1γ family. These inhibitors and a CSNK1γ3 kinase dead mutant suppressed but did not eliminate WNT-driven LRP6 phosphorylation and β-catenin stabilization. Our data suggest that while CSNK1γ3 expression uniquely drives pathway activity, potential functional redundancy within the family necessitates loss of all three family members to suppress the WNT signaling pathway.

Investigating the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling during embryonic mammary gland development

Project description:The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is crucial for the development of variety of organs including the mammary gland. However, the precise role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling during embryonic mammary gland morphogenesis is still poorly understood. Here, we used an epithelial gain-of-function β-catenin mouse model to study the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in embryonic mammary gland development and profiled the transcriptomes of E13.5 and E16.5 control and mutant mammary epithelia.

Cascade regulation of sweat gland development by Wnt, Eda and Shh pathways [beta-catenin knockout]

Project description:Millions of sweat glands required to maintain body temperature develop from embryonic ectoderm by a poorly defined mechanism. We present evidence for temporal cascade regulation of sweat gland development by Wnt, Eda and Shh pathways. The first stage, sweat gland induction, failed completely when Wnt/β-catenin signaling was blocked in skin epithelium, accompanied by sharp downregulation of Wnt, Eda and Shh pathway genes. In a meta-layer of regulation, Wnt antagonist Dkk4 appeared to operate on sweat gland induction in a negative feedback loop: Dkk4 was itself sharply downregulated in β-catenin-ablated mice, whereas its over-expression repressed Wnt target genes and significantly reduced gland numbers. Eda signaling succeeded Wnt, and activated downstream Shh pathway. Thus, in absence of Eda, Wnt pathway was still active and initial sweat gland pre-germs were seen but failed to develop germs, and dwonstream Shh pathway was repressed. When both Wnt and Eda were intact but Shh was ablated, early stage induction and subsequent duct formation occurred normally, but the final stage formation of secretory coil failed. Thus, sweat gland development shows a relay of regulatory steps, initiated by Wnt/β-catenin -- itself modulated by Dkk4 -- with subsequent tandem action of Eda and Shh pathways. Compared expression changes between wild type and skin specific beta-catenin knockout footpads at 3 developmental time points, E15.5, E16.5 and E17.5. Data were duplicated with 2 sets of samples.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling mediates resistance of colorectal cancer cells to chemoradiotherapy

Project description:Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a central role in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Previously, we demonstrated that the Wnt transcription factor, TCF7L2, was overexpressed in primary rectal cancers that were resistant to chemoradiotherapy (CRT), and that TCF7L2 functionally mediates resistance of CRC cells to CRT. However, it remained unclear whether the resistance was mediated by a TCF7L2 inherent mechanism or Wnt/β-catenin signaling in general. We now show that silencing of β-catenin resulted in sensitization of the CRC cell lines LS1034, SW480, and SW837 to CRT, demonstrating a relationship between Wnt/β-catenin signaling and CRT resistance. To investigate the potential role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in controlling therapeutic responsiveness, non-tumorigenic RPE-1 cells were stimulated with Wnt-3a, a physiological ligand at the Frizzled receptor, which significantly increased resistance to CRT. This effect could be recapitulated by overexpression of mutated, undegradable β-catenin (S33Y). Again, this resulted in a significantly boosted resistance of RPE-1 cells to CRT, which was abrogated by siRNA-mediated silencing of β-catenin. Consistent with these findings, we observed higher expression levels of active (unphosphorylated) β-catenin as well as increased TCF/LEF reporter activity in SW1463 cells that evolved radiation-resistance due to repeated radiation-treatment. Global gene expression profiling identified several altered pathways associated with treatment response as a consequence of Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation, sheading new light on PPARD signaling as a possible mechanism of Wnt mediated resistance. Hence, synergistic pathway inhibition of either Wnt and/or one of the downstream-pathways may represent a promising strategy to increase therapeutic responsiveness to CRT.

Expression data from Ad-β-catenin-GFP or Ad-GFP infected cardiomyocytes

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.
