Project description:BRD4 governs pathological cardiac gene expression by binding acetylated chromatin, resulting in enhanced RNA polymerase II (Pol II) phosphorylation and transcription elongation. Here, we describe a signal-dependent mechanism for the regulation of BRD4 in cardiomyocytes. BRD4 expression is suppressed by microRNA-9 (miR-9), which targets the 3' UTR of the Brd4 transcript. In response to stress stimuli, miR-9 is downregulated, leading to derepression of BRD4 and enrichment of BRD4 at long-range super-enhancers (SEs) associated with pathological cardiac genes. A miR-9 mimic represses stimulus-dependent targeting of BRD4 to SEs and blunts Pol II phosphorylation at proximal transcription start sites, without affecting BRD4 binding to SEs that control constitutively expressed cardiac genes. These findings suggest that dynamic enrichment of BRD4 at SEs genome-wide serves a crucial role in the control of stress-induced cardiac gene expression and define a miR-dependent signaling mechanism for the regulation of chromatin state and Pol II phosphorylation.

Project description:Proinflammatory stimuli rapidly and globally remodel chromatin landscape, thereby enabling transcriptional responses. Yet, the mechanisms coupling chromatin regulators to the master regulatory inflammatory transcription factor NF-kB remain poorly understood. We report in human endothelial cells (ECs) that activated NF-kB binds to enhancers, provoking a rapid, global redistribution of BRD4 preferentially at super-enhancers, large enhancer domains highly bound by chromatin regulators. Newly established NF-kB super-enhancers drive nearby canonical inflammatory response genes. In both ECs and macrophages BET bromodomain inhibition prevents super-enhancer formation downstream of NF-kB activation, abrogating proinflammatory transcription. In TNFa-activated endothelium this culminates in functional suppression of leukocyte rolling, adhesion and transmigration. Sustained BET bromodomain inhibitor treatment of LDLr -/- animals suppresses atherogenesis, a disease process rooted in pathological vascular inflammation involving endothelium and macrophages. These data establish BET-bromodomains as key effectors of inflammatory response through their role in the dynamic, global reorganization of super-enhancers during NF-kB activation.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignant cancer with complex genomic variations, and no targetable genomic lesions have been found yet. Super-enhancers (SEs) have been found to contribute to the continuous and robust oncogenic transcription. Here, histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) is profiled in PDAC cell lines to establish SE landscapes. Concurrently, it is also shown that PDAC is vulnerable to the perturbation of the SE complex using bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) inhibitor, JQ1, synergized with cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitor, THZ1. Formulations of hydrophobic l-phenylalanine-poly (ester amide) nanoparticles (NPs) with high drug loading of JQ1 and THZ1 (J/T@8P4s) are further designed and developed. J/T@8P4s is assessed for size, encapsulation efficiency, morphology, drug release profiles, and drug uptake in vitro. Compared to conventional free drug formulation, the nanodelivery system dramatically reduces the hepatotoxicity while significantly enhancing the tumor inhibition effects and the bioavailability of incorporated JQ1 and THZ1 at equal doses in a Gemcitabine-resistant PDAC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Overall, the present study demonstrates that the J/T@8P4s can be a promising therapeutic treatment against the PDAC via suppression of SE-associated oncogenic transcription, and provides a strategy utilizing NPs to assist the drug delivery targeting SEs.
