Ovol2 sustains postnatal thymic epithelial cell identity

ABSTRACT: Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) begin to develop embryonically in mice and humans, expand in number through puberty, and then stabilize before declining during early adulthood. We identified a mechanism by which TEC numbers and function are maintained postnatally, discovered through a forward genetic screen for altered immune cell development in mice. A viable missense allele (C120Y) of Ovol2 resulted in lymphopenia, in which T cell development was compromised by loss of medullary TECs and dysfunction of cortical TECs. OVOL2 is an essential regulator of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), and we show that the epithelial identity of TECs is subverted towards a mesenchymal state in OVOL2-deficient mice. We document global changes in chromatin accessibility correlated with gene expression, particularly affecting genes involved in epithelial and mesenchymal cell proliferation and differentiation. OVOL2 regulates chromatin accessibility by inhibiting the BRAF-HDAC complex. In particular, it disrupts the RCOR1-LSD1 complex by directly binding to the lysine demethylase LSD1, resulting in inhibition of LSD1-mediated H3K4me2 demethylation. Thus, OVOL2 controls the epigenetic landscape of TECs, preventing EMT and enforcing TEC identity to support T cell development in the thymus.

Profiling of Lsd1 and chromatin marks in epithelial cells overexpressing HOTAIR variants

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) underlie a loss of epithelial traits by normal cells during development and neoplastic cells during cancer metastasis. The long noncoding RNA HOTAIR triggers EMT, in part by serving as a scaffold for Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) and thus promoting repressive histone H3 Lys27 methylation. In addition to PRC2, HOTAIR interacts with the Lsd1 lysine demethylase, an epigenetic regulator of cell fate during development and differentiation. Here, we showed that HOTAIR requires the Lsd1-interacting domain, but not the PRC2-interacting domain, to promote migration of epithelial cells. Our results suggest that the HOTAIR-Lsd1 asociation redistributes Lsd1 on chromatin and hence reprograms the epithelial transcriptome.

Selvaggio2020 - Microenvironment control of hybrid Epithelial-Mesenchymal phenotypes

Project description:Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) has been associated with cancer cell heterogeneity, plasticity and metastasis. It has been the subject of several modeling effort. This logical model of the EMT cellular network aims to assess microenvironmental signals controlling cancer-associated phenotypes amid the EMT continuum. Its outcomes relate to the qualitative degrees of cell adhesions by adherent junctions and focal adhesions, two features affected during EMT. Model attractors recover epithelial, mesenchymal and hybrid phenotypes, and simulations show that hybrid phenotypes may arise through independent molecular paths, involving stringent extrinsic signals. Of particular interest, model predictions and their experimental validations indicated that: 1) ECM stiffening is a prerequisite for cells overactivating FAK-SRC to upregulate SNAIL1 and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype, and 2) FAK-SRC inhibition of cell-cell contacts through the Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphates kappa leads to the acquisition of a full mesenchymal rather than a hybrid phenotype.

ARID1A and PI3-Kinase pathway mutations in the endometrium drive epithelial transdifferentiation and collective invasion [Mouse_RNA-seq]

Project description:ARID1A and PI3-Kinase (PI3K) pathway alterations are common in neoplasms originating from the uterine endometrium. Here we show that monoallelic loss of ARID1A in the mouse endometrial epithelium is sufficient for vaginal bleeding when combined with PI3K activation. Sorted mutant epithelial cells display gene expression and promoter chromatin signatures associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We further show that ARID1A is bound to promoters with open chromatin, but ARID1A loss leads to increased promoter chromatin accessibility and the expression of EMT genes. PI3K activation partially rescues the mesenchymal phenotypes driven by ARID1A loss through antagonism of ARID1A target gene expression, resulting in partial EMT and invasion. We propose that ARID1A normally maintains endometrial epithelial cell identity by repressing mesenchymal cell fates, and that coexistent ARID1A and PI3K mutations promote epithelial transdifferentiation and collective invasion. Broadly, our findings support a role for collective epithelial invasion in the spread of abnormal endometrial tissue.

Genome-scale epigenetic reprogramming during epithelial to mesenchymal transition

Project description:Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an extreme example of cell plasticity, important for normal development, injury repair, and malignant progression. Widespread epigenetic reprogramming occurs during stem cell differentiation and malignant transformation, but EMT-related epigenetic reprogramming is poorly understood. Here we investigated epigenetic modifications during TGF-β-mediated EMT. While DNA methylation was unchanged during EMT, we found global reduction of the heterochromatin mark H3-lys9 dimethylation (H3K9Me2), increase of the euchromatin mark H3-lys4 trimethylation (H3K4Me3), and increase of the transcriptional mark H3-lys36 trimethylation (H3K36Me3). These changes were largely dependent on lysine-specific deaminase-1 (LSD1), and LSD1 loss-of-function experiments showed marked effects on EMT-driven cell migration and chemoresistance. Genome-scale mapping revealed that chromatin changes were largely specific to large organized heterochromatin K9-modifications (LOCKs), suggesting that EMT is characterized by reprogramming of specific chromatin domains across the genome.

Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model with autocrine TGFbeta signaling

Project description:This model is an expansion of the Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model (MODEL2208050001); it includes a TGFβ signaling module and autocrine signaling in mesenchymal cells. The expanded 150-node (630 link) modular model undergoes EMT triggered by biomechanical and growth signaling crosstalk, or by TGFβ. As its predecessor, this model also reproduces the ability of the core EMT transcriptional network to maintain distinct epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal states, as well as EMT driven by mitogens such as EGF on stiff ECM. We also reproduce the observed lack of stepwise MET, in that our model's dynamics does not pass through the hybrid E/M state during MET. We show that in the absence of strong autocrine signals such as TGFβ (not included in this version), cells cannot maintain their mesenchymal state in the absence of mitogens, on softer matrices, or at high cell density. In contrast, potent autocrine signaling can stabilize the mesenchymal state in all but very dense monolayers on soft ECM. This expanded model also reproduces the inhibitory effects of TGFβ on proliferation and anoikis resistance in mesenchymal cells, as well as its ability to trigger apoptosis on soft ECM vs. EMT on stiff matrices. The model offers several experimentally testable predictions related to the effect of neighbors on partial vs. full EMT, the tug of war between mitosis and the maintenance of migratory hybrid E/M states, as well as cell cycle defects in dynamic, heterogeneous populations of epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal cells.
