Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents a major malignancy in the oral and maxillofacial region. The primary therapeutic agents, 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and oxaliplatin (OXA), often encounter the challenge of chemoresistance, leading to treatment failure. The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, closely tied with chemoresistance, offers a promising therapeutic avenue. This study delves into this potential connection. 5FU-resistant and OXA-resistant cell lines were established by gradually elevating the drug concentration in the culture medium. Differential gene expressions between parental and resistant cells were analyzed by RNA sequencing analysis, which was then substantiated via RT-qPCR and western blot. The influence of the WNT signaling on OSCC drug resistance was ascertained through WNT3 knockdown or overexpression. The WNT inhibitor, MSAB, was probed for its capacity to boost the efficacy of 5FU or OXA. Through transcriptome sequencing, successfully derived 5FU-resistant and OXA-resistant cell lines revealed a conspicuous activation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway in the drug-resistant cells. WNT3 was identified as a pivotal factor contributing to chemoresistance in OSCC. Counteracting β-catenin notably augmented the therapeutic potency of 5FU and OXA. Our study underscored the activation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway in resistant OSCC cell lines. By modulating WNT signaling activity, drug resistance in OSCC cells may be effectively circumvented.

Project description:Germ cells ensure reproduction and heredity in metazoans. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) in mice are induced in pluripotent epiblasts by BMP4 and WNT3, yet their mechanism of action remains unclear. Here, using in vitro PGC specification system, we show that WNT3 induces many transcription factors associated with mesoderm in epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) through b-CATENIN. Among these, T (BRACHYURY), a classical and conserved mesodermal factor, was essential for robust activation of Blimp1 and Prdm14, two of the germline determinants. T, but not SMAD1 or b-CATENIN/TCF1, binds distinct regulatory elements of both Blimp1 and Prdm14, and without BMP4 and WNT3, directly up-regulates these genes, consequently delineating downstream PGC program. Without BMP4, a program induced by WNT3 prevents T from activating Blimp1 and Prdm14, demonstrating that BMP4 is permissive for PGC specification. These findings establish a fundamental role of a mesodermal transcription factor in PGC specification, a potentially evolutionarily conserved mechanism across metazoans.

Project description:The germ cell lineage ensures reproduction and heredity in metazoans. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) in mice are induced in pluripotent epiblast cells by BMP4 and WNT3, yet their mechanism of action remains elusive. Here, using in vitro PGC specification system, we show that WNT3, but not BMP4, induces many transcription factors associated with mesoderm in epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) through beta-CATENIN. Among these, T (BRACHYURY), a classical and conserved mesodermal factor, was essential for robust activation of Blimp1 and Prdm14, two of the germline determinants. T, but not SMAD1 or beta-CATENIN/TCF1, binds distinct regulatory elements of both Blimp1 and Prdm14, and directly up-regulates these genes without BMP4 and WNT3. Without BMP4, a program induced by WNT3 prevents T from activating Blimp1 and Prdm14, demonstrating that BMP4 is permissive for PGC specification. These findings establish a fundamental role of a mesodermal gene in PGC specification, a potentially evolutionarily conserved mechanism across metazoans. Wnt3 (+/+) and Wnt3 (-/-) mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) bearing the BV transgenes expressing membrane-targeted Venus under the control of Blimp1 regulatory elements (Blimp1-mVenus: BV; PMID 18583473) were established and maintained. Epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) were then induced from the established ES lines, followed by the cytokine stimulation (No cytokines [negative control], BMP4, Wnt3a, BMP4+Wnt3a) for different periods (0h, 12h, 24h, 36h).

Project description:In hESCs, Wnt3/β-catenin activity is low and Activin/SMAD signaling ensures NANOG expression to sustain pluripotency. In response to exogenous Wnt3 effectors, Activin/SMADs switch to cooperate with β-catenin and induce mesendodermal differentiation genes. We show here that the HIPPO effector YAP binds to the WNT3 gene enhancer and prevents the gene from being induced by Activin in proliferating hESCs. In the absence of YAP, Activin signaling is sufficient to induce expression of the endogenous Wnt3 cytokine, which stabilizes β-catenin and selectively activates genes required for cardiac mesoderm (ME) formation. Interestingly, Activin-stimulated YAP-knockout hESCs strongly express β-catenin-dependent cardiac mesoderm markers (BAF60c and HAND1), but unlike WT hESCs, fail to express cardiac inhibitor genes (CDX2, MSX1). Accordingly, YAP-/- cells treated with Activin alone can differentiate efficiently to beating cardiomyocytes in culture, bypassing the need for sequential treatment with exogenous Wnt ligand and Wnt inhibitors. Similarly, Activin in combination with small-molecule YAP inhibitors generates beating cardiomyocytes from wild-type hESCs following a one- step protocol. Our findings highlight an unanticipated role of YAP as an upstream regulator of WNT3 to maintain hESC pluripotency in the presence of Activin, and uncover a direct route for the development of human embryonic cardiac mesoderm.

Project description:Head regeneration in Hydra requires the transformation of gastric tissue into a head organizer that produces a head activator and a head inhibitor. Here we report the decipherment of a long-standing question in developmental biology, the identification of the transcription factor Sp5 as a key head inhibitory component. We show that Sp5 has an apical to basal graded expression pattern in intact Hydra, its expression is induced upon Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation and when knocked-down triggers the formation of multiple heads and axes in homeostatic and regenerative conditions. Our data indicate that Sp5 acts in a feed-forward loop to robustly regulate its own expression and that Sp5 prevents head formation by repressing the Wnt3 promoter. This Sp5 mediated Wnt antagonism is conserved and was invented early in metazoan evolution to set up axial patterning.

Project description:Maturation of Paneth cells depends on canonical Wnt signaling, but few transcriptional regulators have been identified to this end. We showed that HNF4a plays a non-redundant and crucial role in supporting the growth and survival of small intestinal epithelial cultures when cultured ex vivo as organoids. Transcriptomic analyses revealed an autosomal function of HNF4a in Wnt3 transcriptional regulation and Paneth cell differentiation. We showed that Wnt3a supplementation reversed cell death and transcriptional changes caused by the deletion of Hnf4a in jejunal organoids.
