Project description:Cardiac remodelling is a key process in the development of heart failure. Reactivation of foetal cardiac genes is often associated with cardiac remodelling. Here we study the role of Pontin (Ruvbl1), which is highly expressed in embryonic hearts, in mediating adverse remodelling in adult mouse hearts. We observe that Pontin deficiency in cardiomyocytes leads to induced apoptosis, increased hypertrophy and fibrosis, whereas Pontin overexpression improves survival, increases proliferation and reduces the hypertrophic response. Moreover, RNAseq analysis show that genes involved in cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation and cell survival/apoptosis are differentially expressed in Pontin knockout and transgenic overexpression mice. Specifically, we detect changes in the expression of Hippo pathway components in the Pontin knockout and transgenic mice. Using a cellular model we show that Pontin induces YAP activity, YAP nuclear translocation, and transcriptional activity. Our findings identify Pontin as a modulator of adverse cardiac remodelling, possibly via regulation of the Hippo pathway. This study may lead to the development of a new approach to control cardiac remodelling by targeting Pontin.

Project description:Pontin is a AAA+ ATPase protein that has functions in various biological contexts including gene transcription regulation, chromatin remodeling, DNA damage sensing and repair, as well as assembly of protein and ribonucleoprotein complexes. Pontin is known to regulate the transcription of several important signaling pathways, including Wnt signaling. However, its role in early embryonic signaling regulation remains unclear. Retinoic acid (RA) signaling plays a central role in vertebrate development. Using an in vivo biotin tagging technology, we mapped the genome-wide binding pattern of Pontin before and after RA-induced differentiation in the pluripotent embryo carcinoma cell line NTEAR-2. Biotin ChIP-seq revealed significant changes in genome-wide Pontin binding sites upon RA stimulation. We also identified a substantial amount of overlapping binding peaks between Pontin and RARα, especially on all of the HOX gene loci (A-D clusters). Pontin knockdown experiments showed that its chromatin binding at the HOX gene clusters is required for RA-induced HOX gene expression. Furthermore, we performed Global Run-On sequencing (GRO-seq) to map de novo transcripts genome-wide and found that Pontin knockdown significantly diminished nascent HOX gene transcripts, indicating that Pontin regulates HOX gene expression at the transcriptional level. Finally, proteomic analysis demonstrated that Pontin associates with chromatin organization/remodeling complexes and various other functional complexes. Altogether, we have demonstrated that Pontin is a critical transcriptional co-activator for RA-induced HOX gene activation.

Project description:In order to investigate the cooperative roles of Pontin and Oct4 for self-renewal and pluripotency in mouse ES cells, we performed mRNA-sequencing analysis from mRNAs isolated from Pontin- and Oct4-depleted ES cells. This analysis provides insight into molecular mechanisms for maintaining ES cell identity. mRNA expression profiles of Pontinf/f; CreER ES cells at 0, 3, or 4 days post-treatment with OHT (wild type and Pontin-depleted ES cells) and ZHBTc4 ES cells at 2 days post-treatment with tetracycline (Oct4-depleted ESE cells) were examined by Illumina Hiseq2000.

Project description:The actions of transcription factors, chromatin modifiers, and noncoding RNAs are crucial for the programming of cellular states. Although chromatin remodeling factors regulate the functional status of cells including pluripotency and differentiation, how they cross-talk with embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factors and noncoding RNAs to coordinate networks controlling of ES cell identity remain unknown. Here, we find that Pontin chromatin remodeling factor plays an essential role as a coactivator for Oct4 target genes and large intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) in ES cells. mRNA- and ChIP-sequencing analyses reveal that Pontin and Oct4 share a substantial set of target genes involved in maintenance of ES cells. Intriguingly, Oct4-dependent coactivator function of Pontin extends to transcription of lincRNAs that are mainly involved in repression of differentiation in ES cells. Together, our findings demonstrate newly identified Oct4-Pontin-lincRNA module plays critical roles in the ES cell circuitry to orchestrate cell fate determination program. For mRNA-sequencing, we obtained mRNAs from 1) Pontinf/f; CreER ES cells at 0, 3, or 4 days post-treatment with 4-hydroxy tamoxifen (OHT) for Pontin-depleted ES cells without biological replicates (n=1), 2) ZHBTc4 ES cells at 2 days post-treatment with tetracycline (Tc) for Oct4-depleted ES cells (n=1), and 3) ZHBTc4 ES cells infected by pLKO control or pLKO-shlinc1253 lentivirus at 4 days post infection for knockdown of linc1253 (n=2). For ChIP-sequencing, chromatin extracts containing DNA fragments with an average size of 400bp were immmunoprecipitated by using antibodies against GFP (control) or Pontin. Eluted ChIP DNA (n=1).

Project description:In order to investigate the role of Pontin methylation on the expression of hypoxia responsive genes across the whole genome, we performed a microarray analysis from RNAs isolated from MCF7 cells expressing either control shRNA (shNS) or Pontin shRNA(shPontin) in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. MCF7 cells were transiently transfected with either non-specific shRNA or Pontin shRNA in replicates. Cells were grown for 24 hours before being exposed to either normoxic (21% Oxygen) or hypoxic condition (1% oxygen) for 6,9 hours. Cells were then lysed and RNA isolated.
