Project description:This study reports a large series patients presenting EPAS1-mutated paraganglioma in whom we investigated a cause underlying chronic hypoxia. Four patients (10%) suffered from hypoxemic heart disease. In patients with available hemoglobin electrophoresis results, 59% presented a hemoglobin disorder. Histological and transcriptomic characterization of EPAS1-tumors revealed increased angiogenesis and high similarities with pseudohypoxic paragangliomas caused by VHL gene mutations.

Project description:Purpose: By integrating DNA methylation and gene expression of COPD lung tissues, we identified EPAS1 as a key regulator whose downstream genes significantly overlapped with multiple genes sets associated with COPD disease severity. EPAS1 is distinct in comparison with other key regulators in terms of methylation profiles and downstream target genes. Genes predicted to be regulated by EPAS1 were enriched for biological processes including signaling, cell communications, and system developement. As EPAS1 downstream genes were significantly enriched for hypoxia responsive genes in endothelial cells, we tested EPAS1 function in human and mouse endothelial cells HUVEC and C166. EPAS1 knockdown by siRNA in endothelial cells impacted genes that significantly overlapped with EPAS1 downstream genes in lung tissue including hypoxia responsive genes. Methods: The cell lines of HUVEC (Lonza, MD, USA) and C166 (American Type Culture Collection, VA, USA) were cultured in the appropriate media at 37M-BM-0C with 5% CO2. The cells were transfected with EPAS1 siRNA and non-targeting negative control siRNA (Life Technologies, CA, USA) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX as recommended transfection protocols by the manufacturer. After the treatments with 5nM SilencerM-BM-. Select siRNA (s4700 for EPAS1, s65525 for Epas1; Life Technologies, USA) for 48 hours, the total RNA was purified with RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany). The efficiencies of knocked down the EPAS1 expression were assessed by qPCR with 1.4% for HUVEC, 3.2% for C166. Approximately 250 ng of total RNA per sample were used for library construction by the TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument with 100nt single read setting according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sequence reads were aligned to human genome assembly hg19 and mouse genome assembly mm10, respectively, using Tophat [96]. Total 23,228 human and 22,609 mouse genes were quantified using Cufflinks [96]. siRNA signatures were derived by comparing expression profiles of EPAS1 or Epas1 siRNAs with non-targeting siRNAs at paired t-test p-value cutoff 0.05 with resulting signature sizes of 2,796 and 3,730, and corresponding q-values [97] 0.11 and 0.07 for HUVEC and C166, respectively. Results: When comparing endothelial cells treated with EPAS1 siRNAs and scrambled siRNAs, we identified an EPAS1 siRNA signature consisting of 2796 and 3730 genes in human and mouse endothelial cell lines, respectively, whose expression levels significantly changed (t-test p-value<0.05), including EPAS1 itself (p-value = 0.002 and 0.02) and the EPAS1 downstream target gene VEGFA (p-value = 0.03 and 0.01). The EPAS1 siRNA signatures derived from human and mouse cell lines were highly consistent, with 695 genes in common to both signatures (p-value = 7.2x10-65). Both signatures not only significantly overlapped with EPAS1 downstream genes (p-value = 7.3x10-7 and 1.5x10-12), but also with hypoxia response genes in endothelial cells (FisherM-bM-^@M-^Ys Exact Test p-value = 5.8x10-8 and 1.2x10-12 in the human and mouse signatures, respectively). Moreover, the EPAS1 siRNA signatures consistently overlapped genes associated with the COPD severity phenotypes. These results together validate that EPAS1 causally regulates the downstream target genes we predicted, and that these genes in turn affect COPD development and progression. For each of human and mouse cell lines, 3 siRNA control cells, and 3 siRNA EPAS1 knockdown cells were used and analyzed. To identify EPAS1 signatures, paired t-test was performed between control siRNA and EPAS1 siRNA samples.

Project description:To understand the role of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor EPAS1 in regulating spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) function, a conditional knockout mouse was generated (EPAS1-cKO) where Epas1 was ablated only in the germ cells (Ddx4-Cre, Epasfl/-). For single cell RNA sequencing analysis, control and EPAS1-cKO males were pre-treated with the chemotherapeutic reagent busulfan to instigate regenerative conditions, and a germ cell-enriched cell population was collected 14 days later. Transcriptome profiling revealed that EPAS1 deficiency alters gene expression and key cellular processes in undifferentiated spermatogonia, including metabolism and proteostasis. Overall, these transcriptomic changes resulted in an impaired capacity for SSCs to restore spermatogenesis after busulfan treatment.

Project description:Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level is genetically controlled and modifies severity of adult hemoglobin (HbA) disorders. Common genetic variation affects expression of BCL11A, a critical regulator of HbF silencing. Current models suggest that BCL11A acts at a distance from the gamma-globin genes via long-distance chromosomal interactions. Here we use a functional cellular assay and protein-binding microarray to establish a requirement for a zinc-finger cluster of BCL11A for globin repression, and identify a preferred DNA recognition sequence (TGACCA). The motif is present in embryonic and fetal-expressed globin promoters, and duplicated in gamma-globin promoters, yet only the distal motif is mutated in alleles of individuals with hereditary persistence of hemoglobin. Using CUT&RUN to map protein binding sites, we detected BCL11A occupancy preferentially at the distal motif, and validated its absence in HbF-expressing, promoter-edited erythroid cells. Taken together, our findings reveal that direct gamma-globin gene promoter repression by BCL11A underlies hemoglobin switching.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Recent studies revealed that hemoglobin is expressed in some non-erythrocytes and it suppresses oxidative stress when overexpressed. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study was to investigate whether hemoglobin is expressed in hepatocytes and how it is related to oxidative stress in NASH patients. METHODS: Microarray was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in NASH. Quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to examine gene expression levels. Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were employed to examine hemoglobin proteins. Flow cytometry was used to measure intracellular oxidative stress. RESULTS: Analysis of microarray gene expression data has revealed a significant increase in the expression of hemoglobin alpha (HBA1) and beta (HBB) in liver biopspies from NASH patients. Increased hemoglobin expression in NASH was validated by qRT-PCR. However, the expression of erythrocyte specific marker genes such as SPTA, SPTB, GYPA, GATA1, and ALAS2 did not change, indicating that increased hemoglobin expression in NASH was not from erythropoiesis, but could result from increased expression in hepatocytes. Immunofluorescence staining demonstrated positive HBA1 and HBB expression in the hepatocytes of NASH livers. Hemoglobin expression was also observed in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line. Furthermore, treatment with hydrogen peroxide, a known oxidative stress inducer, induced a dose dependent increase in HBA1 expression in HepG2 cells. Intriguingly, forced hemoglobin expression suppressed oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS: Oxidative stress upregulates hemoglobin expression in hepatocytes. Suppression of oxidative stress by hemoglobin could be a mechanism to protect hepatocytes from oxidative damage. These findings suggest that hemoglobin is an inducible antioxidant in hepatocytes in response to increased oxidative stress as found in NASH livers. Twelve biopsy diagnosed NASH patients were included in this study. For control groups, total RNA from 5 different subjects were purchased from ADMET. These subjects are free from liver disease.

Project description:In this study we explored the role of hypoxia and the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor EPAS1 in regulating spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) function in the mouse. We demonstrated that SSCs reside in hypoxic microenvironments in the testis through utilisation of the oxygen-sensing probe pimonidazole, and by confirming the stable presence of EPAS1, which is degraded at >5% O2. Here we stabilised EPAS1 expression in primary cultures of undifferentiated spermatogonia with the small drug molecule Daprodustat, providing a platform to identify genes whose expression is regulated by EPAS1 in SSCs.
