Project description:While the regulatory landscape during stem cell differentiation has been well characterized, the shared and unique regulatory mechanisms in different ectodermally-derived epithelial cells have not been well described. Through defining the complement of super enhancers and typical enhancers in corneal epithelium for the first time, we show that regulatory regions are often shared between cell types of the same lineage, and that corneal super enhancers are already marked as potential regulatory domains in embryonic stem cells. Through the enrichment of KLF motifs in enhancers, we identified and defined a novel role for Kruppel family member KLF7 in promoting the corneal progenitor cell state, in many cases working antagonistically to corneal differentiation promoting KLF4. Our work highlights the importance of balance between proliferation and differentiation, both for proper tissue development and for homeostasis.

Project description:KLF7, a member of the KLF family, is an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger-containing transcription factor. Previous studies demonstrated that KLF7 possesses diverse regulatory functions related to embryogenesis, cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Our results reveal that there was an increased abundance of KLF7 in OSM-treated HaCaT cells. Mechanistically, our results showed that OSM induces epidermal keratinocyte differentiation through phosphorylation of STAT5, which binds to the promoter and activates KLF7 transcription.

Project description:Increased expression of Kruppel like factor 7 (KLF7) is an independent predictor of poor outcome in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The contribution of KLF7 to hematopoiesis has not been previously described. Herein, we characterized the effect on murine hematopoiesis of the loss of KLF7 and enforced expression of KLF7. Long-term multilineage engraftment of Klf7-/- cells was comparable to control cells, and self-renewal, as assessed by serial transplantation, was not affected. Enforced expression of KLF7 results in a marked suppression of myeloid progenitor cell growth and a loss of short- and long-term repopulating activity. Interestingly, enforced expression of KLF7, while resulting in multi-lineage growth suppression that extended to hematopoietic stem cells and common lymphoid progenitors, spared T cells and enhanced the survival of early thymocytes. RNA expression profiling of KLF7-overexpressing hematopoietic progenitors identified several potential target genes mediating these effects. Notably, the known KLF7 target Cdkn1a (p21Cip1/Waf1) was not induced by KLF7, and loss of CDKN1A does not rescue the repopulating defect. These results suggest that KLF7 is not required for normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor (HSPC) function, but increased expression, as seen in a subset of lymphoid leukemia, inhibits myeloid cell proliferation and promotes early thymocyte survival. KLF7 overexpression in HSPCs expression array: Lin- c-Kit+ Sca-1+ cells transduced with a KLF7 expressing or control (empty vector) lentivirus. Expression profiles of KLF7 overexpressing vs controls HSPCs. Cells were harvested 72 hrs post-transduction to compare expression profiles of control vs KLF7 overexpressing HSPCs

KLF7 KO vs WT HSPC expression array: KLS (lineage- c-Kit+ Sca-1+) cells were sorted from the bone marrow of Klf7-/- chimeras at 12 weeks post-transplant. Fetal liver cells were used to establish chimeric mice (C57Bl/6 background) containing a mixture of Klf7+/+ and Klf7-/- bone marrow cells.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with a dismal prognosis. Currently, there is no effective therapy to treat PDAC, and thus detailed molecular and functional evaluation of PDAC is needed to identify and develop better therapeutic strategies. Here we show that the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 7 (KLF7) is overexpressed in PDAC and that inhibition of KLF7 blocks PDAC tumor growth and metastasis in cell culture and in mice. KLF7 expression in PDAC can be upregulated due to activation of a MAP kinase pathway or inactivation of the tumor suppressor p53, two alterations that occur in a large majority of PDACs. ShRNA-mediated knockdown of KLF7 inhibits the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), which are necessary for KLF7-mediated PDAC tumor growth and metastasis. KLF7 knockdown also results in the downregulation of Discs Large MAGUK Scaffold Protein 3 (DLG3), resulting in Golgi complex fragmentation, and reduced protein glycosylation leading to reduced secretion of cancer-promoting growth factors such as chemokines. Genetic or pharmacological activation of Golgi complex fragmentation blocks PDAC growth and metastasis similar to KLF7 inhibition. Our results demonstrate a therapeutically amenable, KLF7-driven pathway that promotes PDAC growth and metastasis by activating ISGs and maintaining Golgi complex integrity.
