Glucocorticoid receptor regulates the ANGPTL4 gene in a CTCF-mediated chromatin context in human hepatic cells

ABSTRACT: Glucocorticoid plays an essential role in various stress responses and metabolism, which is mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in cells. This hormonal action is integrated to transcriptional control of the GR target genes in cell type-specific and condition-dependent manners. In this study, we report that GR regulates the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) gene in a CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)-mediated chromatin context in human hepatic HepG2 cells. There were at least four CTCF-enriched sites and two GR-binding sites in the ANGPTL4 locus. Among them, major CTCF-enriched site was positioned nearly GR-bound enhancer of this gene. Using treatment with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex), our data showed that CTCF is required for proper induction and subsequent silencing of ANGPTL4 gene. Interestingly, this gene induction was diminished under the long-term Dex pretreatment. Although ANGPTL4 locus maintains stable higher-order chromatin conformation at the basal and the Dex-treated states, liganded GR activated the ANGPTL4 gene, but not the neighboring three genes, via the interactions between enhancer, promoter and CTCF sites. These results reveal that liganded GR spatiotemporally controls ANGPTL4 gene in the chromosomal context.

Ligand-dependent genomic function of glucocorticoid receptor in triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GC) have been widely used as coadjuvants in the treatment of solid tumors, but GC treatment may be associated with poor pharmacotherapeutic response and/or prognosis. The genomic action of GC in these tumors is largely unknown. Here we find that dexamethasone (Dex, a synthetic GC) regulated genes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are associated with drug resistance. Importantly, these GC-regulated genes are aberrantly expressed in TNBC patients and associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Interestingly, in TNBC cells, Compound A (CpdA, a selective GR modulator) only regulates a small number of genes not involved in carcinogenesis and therapy resistance. Mechanistic studies using a ChIP-exo approach reveal that Dex- but not CpdA-liganded glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binds to a single glucocorticoid response element (GRE), which drives the expression of pro-tumorigenic genes. Our data suggest that development of safe coadjuvant therapy should consider the distinct genomic function between Dex- and CpdA-liganded GR. To study GR-regulated genes and define GRE in human genome, RNA-seq and GR ChIP-exo are performed in MDA-MB-231 cells before/after dex and CpdA stimulation. Each experiment includes two replicates.

Crosstalk between the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor boosts glucocorticoid-induced killing of multiple myeloma cells

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a crucial drug target in multiple myeloma as its activation with glucocorticoids effectively triggers myeloma cell death. However, as high-dose glucocorticoids are also associated with deleterious side effects, novel approaches are urgently needed to improve GR’s action in myeloma. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone (Spi) enhances Dex-induced cell killing in primary, newly diagnosed GC-sensitive myeloma cells, while in a relapsed GC-resistant setting, Spi alone induces distinct myeloma cell killing. On a mechanistic level, we find that a GR-MR crosstalk is arising from an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells. Quantitative dimerization assays show that Spi reduces Dex-induced GR-MR heterodimerization and completely abolishes Dex-induced MR MR homodimerization but leaves GR-GR homodimerization intact. Unbiased transcriptomics further reveals that c-myc and many of its target genes are downregulated most by Dex and Spi combined, while proteomics analyses identify that several metabolic hallmarks are modulated most by this combination treatment. Finally, we identified a subset of Dex+Spi downregulated genes and proteins that may predict prognosis in the CoMMpass patient cohort. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma as it provides novel strategies towards glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction.

Loss of Glucocorticoid Receptor Expression Mediates in Vivo Dexamethasone Resistance in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Project description:Despite decades of clinical use, mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance are poorly understood. We treated primary murine T lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) alone and in combination with the pan-PI3 kinase inhibitor GDC-0941 and observed a robust response to DEX that was modestly enhanced by GDC-0941. Continuous in vivo treatment invariably resulted in outgrowth of drug-resistant clones, ~30% of which showed markedly reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) protein expression. A similar proportion of relapsed human T-ALLs also exhibited low GR protein levels. De novo or pre-existing mutations in the gene encoding GR (Nr3c1) occurred in relapsed clones derived from multiple independent parental leukemias. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing confirmed that loss of GR expression confers DEX resistance. Exposing drug-sensitive T-ALLs to DEX in vivo altered transcript levels of multiple genes, and this response was attenuated in relapsed T-ALLs. These data implicate reduced GR protein expression as a frequent cause of glucocorticoid resistance in T-ALL.

Exploiting crosstalk between glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors enhances glucocorticoid-induced killing of multiple myeloma cells

Project description:Long-term glucocorticoid treatment in multiple myeloma is hampered by deleterious side effects. Glucocorticoids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which is a crucial drug target because its activation triggers myeloma cell death. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a closely related nuclear receptor but its impact on glucocorticoid responsiveness in myeloma is unknown. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and MR that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone enhances Dex-induced cell killing in (primary) myeloma cells. The crosstalk is further evidenced by an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells that is ligand-inducible and by a distinctive gene expression profile. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma and presents a glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction strategy that could diminish glucocorticoid-related side effects in patients.

IRF2BP2 Modulates the Crosstalk between Glucocorticoid and TNF Signaling

Project description:Here we have analyzed the role of interferon regulatory factor-2 binding protein-2 (IRF2BP2) in glucocorticoid and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) signaling. We used ChIP-seq to analyze chromatin binding of IRF2BP2 in glucocorticoid (dexamethasone, dex) and vehicle treated HEK293 cells expressing GR (HEK293-GR). Furthermore, we used RNA-seq to analyze how silencing of IRF2BP2 modulates transcriptional responses to dex treatment in HEK293-GR cells, and dex, TNF and co-treatment (dex and TNF, DT) in A549 cells.

The autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1 mediates anti-inflammatory actions of the selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator CpdA in macrophages

Project description:Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders. Prolonged use results in side effects including osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. The selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) modulator Compound A (CpdA) exhibits an inflammation-suppressive effect, largely in absence of detrimental side effects. To understand the mechanistic differences between the classic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) and CpdA, we looked for proteins oppositely regulated using an unbiased proteomics approach. We found that the autophagy receptor p62 but not GR mediates the anti-inflammatory action of CpdA in macrophages. CpdA drives the upregulation of p62 by recruiting the NRF2 transcription factor to its promoter. Contrarily, the classic GR ligand dexamethasone recruits GR to p62 and other NRF2 controlled gene promoters, resulting in gene downregulation. Both DEX and CpdA are able to induce autophagy, albeit in a cell-type and time-dependent manner. Suppression of LPS-induced IL-6 and MCP1 genes in bone marrow-derived macrophages by CpdA is hampered upon p62 silencing, confirming that p62 is essential for the anti-inflammatory capacity of CpdA. Together, these results demonstrate how off-target mechanisms of selective GR ligands may establish a more efficient anti-inflammatory therapy

Characterization of ANGPTL4 function in macrophages and adipocytes using Angptl4-knockout and Angptl4-hypomorphic mice

Project description:ANGPTL4 regulates plasma lipids, making it an attractive target for correcting dyslipidemia. However, ANGPTL4 inactivation in mice fed a high fat diet causes chylous ascites, an acute-phase response, and mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Here, we studied the role of ANGPTL4 in lipid uptake in macrophages and in the above-mentioned pathologies using Angptl4-hypomorphic and Angptl4-/- mice. Angptl4 expression in peritoneal and bone marrow-derived macrophages was highly induced by lipids. Recombinant ANGPTL4 decreased lipid uptake in macrophages, whereas deficiency of ANGPTL4 increased lipid uptake, upregulated lipid-induced genes, and increased respiration. ANGPTL4 deficiency did not alter LPL protein levels in macrophages. Angptl4-hypomorphic mice with partial expression of a truncated N-terminal ANGPTL4 exhibited reduced fasting plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, and non-esterified fatty acid levels, strongly resembling Angptl4-/- mice. However, during high fat feeding, Angptl4-hypomorphic mice showed markedly delayed and attenuated elevation in plasma serum amyloid A and much milder chylous ascites than Angptl4-/- mice, despite similar abundance of lipid-laden giant cells in mesenteric lymph nodes. In conclusion, ANGPTL4 deficiency increases lipid uptake and respiration in macrophages without affecting LPL protein levels. Compared with the absence of ANGPTL4, low levels of N-terminal ANGPTL4 mitigate the development of chylous ascites and an acute-phase response in mice.

The Stat3/GR interaction code: predictive value of direct/indirect DNA recruitment for transcription outcome

Project description:Transcription factor recruitment to genomic sites of action is primarily due to direct protein:DNA interactions. The subsequent recruitment of co-regulatory complexes leads to either transcriptional activation or repression. In contrast to this canonical scheme, some transcription factors such as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) behave as transcriptional repressors when recruited to target genes through protein tethering. We have investigated the genome-wide prevalence of tethering between GR and Stat3 and found non-reciprocal interactions, namely that GR tethering to DNA-bound Stat3 results in transcriptional repression whereas Stat3 tethering to GR results in synergism. Further, other schemes of GR and Stat3 co-recruitment to regulatory modules result in transcriptional synergism, including neighbouring and composite binding sites. The results indicate extensive transcriptional interactions between Stat3 and GR; further, they provide a genome-wide assessment of transcriptional regulation by tethering and a molecular basis for integration of signals mediated by GR and Stats in health and disease. ChIP-seq analysis of Stat3 and GR binding sites in pituitary corticotroph AtT-20 cell model. Five independant ChIPs were pooled prior library preparation for each contitions: STAT3 (LIF), STAT3 (Dex+LIF), GR (Dex+LIF), GR (Dex) and control IgG.
