Project description:All-trans-retinoic acid (RA), a potent inducer of cellular differentiation, functions as a ligand for retinoic acid receptors (RARα, β, and γ). RARs are activated by ligand binding, which induces transcription of direct genomic targets. However, whether embryonic stem cells respond to RA through routes that do not involve RARs is unknown. Here, we used CRISPR technology to introduce biallelic frameshift mutations in RARα, RARβ, and RARγ, thereby abrogating all RAR functions in murine embryonic stem cells. We then evaluated RA-responsiveness of the RAR-null cells using RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis. We found that the RAR-null cells display no changes in transcripts in response to RA, demonstrating that the RARs are essential for the regulation of all transcripts in murine embryonic stem cells in response to RA. Our key finding, that in embryonic stem cells the transcriptional effects of RA all depend on RARs, addresses a long-standing topic of discussion in the field of retinoic acid signaling.

Project description:We defined the RARα interactome in the MDA-MB453 breast cancer cell line genetically engineered to over-express an N-terminally tagged version of the nuclear retinoic acid receptor. Twenty eight nuclear proteins which interact with RARα and whose interaction is stimulated or reduced by the pan-RAR ligand, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) were identified. Given the potential significance of the S100A3 calcium-binding protein in the control of tumor progression, we focused our attention on this factor. Using the two models represented by the ATRA-sensitive SKBR3 and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines characterized by constitutive expression of S100A3 and RARα, we demonstrate that the endogenous forms of S100A3 and RARα interact in physiological conditions. The interaction of S100A3 with RARα is cell context independent and it is observed not only in breast cancer but also in acute promyelocytioc leukemia (APL) cells, characterized by expression of the RARα-derived PML-RARα oncogene, which is the product of the t(15:17) chromosomal translocation. S100A3 interacts directly and specifically with RARα and PML-RARα, being unable to bind other members of the RAR/RXR family of retinoid nuclear receptors. The interaction surface maps to the carboxyl-terminal region of the RARα ligand binding domain. Binding of S100A3 to RARα and PML-RARα controls the constitutive and ATRA-dependent degradation of the two receptors. Silencing of the S100A3 gene decreases the amounts of RARα in breast SK-BR-3 and lung A549 cancer cells, rendering them more refractory to the anti-proliferative action of ATRA. In SK-BR-3 cells, this effect is accompanied by a decrease in the lactogenic/differentiating action of ATRA. In APL-derived NB4 cells, S100A3 knock-down reduces the amounts of both RARα and PML-RARα. Contemporaneous down-regulation of the two receptors is associated with an increase in the basal and ATRA-induced expression of many granulocytic differentiation markers. Opposite on RARα and PML-RARα levels as well as ATRA induced differentiation markers are observed upon over-expression of S100A3 in NB4 cells.

Project description:Background: First- and third-generation retinoids are the main treatment in acne. Even though efficacious, they lack full selectivity for RARγ expressed in the epidermis and infundibulum. Objectives: To characterize the in vitro metabolism and the pharmacology of the novel retinoid trifarotene. Methods: In vitro assays determined efficacy, potency and selectivity on RARs, as well as the activity on the expression of retinoid target genes in human keratinocytes and ex vivo cultured skin. In vivo studies investigated topical comedolytic, anti-inflammatory and depigmenting properties. The trifarotene-induced gene expression profile was investigated in non-lesional skin of acne patients and compared to ex vivo and in vivo models. Finally, the metabolic stability in human keratinocytes and hepatic microsomes was established. Results: Trifarotene is a selective RARγ agonist with >20-fold selectivity over RAR and RARβ. Trifarotene is active and stable in keratinocytes but rapidly metabolized by human hepatic microsomes, predicting improved safety. In vivo, trifarotene 0.01% applied topically is highly comedolytic and has antiinflammatory and antipigmenting properties. Gene expression studies indicated potent activation of known retinoid-modulated processes (epidermal differentiation, proliferation, stress response, RA metabolism) and novel pathways (proteolysis, transport/skin hydration, cell adhesion) in ex vivo and in vivo models, as well as in human skin after four weeks of topical application of trifarotene 0.005% cream. Conclusion: Based on its RARγ selectivity, rapid degradation in human hepatic microsomes and pharmacological properties including potent modulation of epidermal processes, topical treatment with trifarotene is expected to provide strong efficacy combined with a favourable safety profile in acne and ichthyotic disorders.

Project description:IntroductionRetinoic acid signaling plays key roles in embryonic development and in maintaining the differentiated status of adult tissues. Recently, the nuclear retinoic acid receptor (RAR) isotypes α, β and γ were found to play specific functions in the expansion and differentiation of the stem compartments of various tissues. For instance, RARγ appears to be involved in stem cell compartment expansion, while RARα and RARβ are implicated in the subsequent cell differentiation. We found that over-expressing c-Myc in normal mouse mammary epithelium and in a c-Myc-driven transgenic model of mammary cancer, disrupts the balance between RARγ and RARα/β in favor of RARγ.MethodsThe effects of c-Myc on RAR isotype expression were evaluated in normal mouse mammary epithelium, mammary tumor cells obtained from the MMTV-Myc transgenic mouse model as well as human normal immortalized breast epithelial and breast cancer cell lines. The in vivo effect of the RARα-selective agonist 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)carboxamido]benzoic acid (Am580) was examined in the MMTV-Myc mouse model of mammary tumorigenesis.ResultsModulation of the RARα/β to RARγ expression in mammary glands of normal mice, oncomice, and human mammary cell lines through the alteration of RAR-target gene expression affected cell proliferation, survival and tumor growth. Treatment of MMTV-Myc mice with the RARα-selective agonist Am580 led to significant inhibition of mammary tumor growth (~90%, P<0.001), lung metastasis (P<0.01) and extended tumor latency in 63% of mice. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that in these mice, RARα responsive genes such as Cyp26A1, E-cadherin, cellular retinol-binding protein 1 (CRBP1) and p27, were up-regulated. In contrast, the mammary gland tumors of mice that responded poorly to Am580 treatment (37%) expressed significantly higher levels of RARγ. In vitro experiments indicated that the rise in RARγ was functionally linked to promotion of tumor growth and inhibition of differentiation. Thus, activation of the RARα pathway is linked to tumor growth inhibition, differentiation and cell death.ConclusionsThe functional consequence of the interplay between c-Myc oncogene expression and the RARγ to RARα/β balance suggests that prevalence of RARγ over-RARα/β expression levels in breast cancer accompanied by c-Myc amplification or over-expression in breast cancer should be predictive of response to treatment with RARα-isotype-specific agonists and warrant monitoring during clinical trials.

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by a specific t(15;17) chromosome translocation that generates the promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor-α (PML/RARα) fusion gene. However, the global association between PML/RARα and transcriptional co-regulators, and the rules of their association in governing the key processes during the leukemogenesis remain obscure. Here, we performed the genome-wide binding profiling of PML/RARα, HDAC1 and P300, in NB4, an APL patient-derived cell line. We found that PML/RARα targets could be classified into two classes. Moreover, we also performed ChIP-seq of H3K27ac to determine super-enhancers in NB4. We identified a novel function of PML/RARα in super-enhancer regulation during the leukemogenesis of APL.

Project description:Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia is characterized by the accumulation in the blood and bone marrow of promyelocytes. The PML/RARα fusion protein is identified as the primary abnormality implicated in the pathology, and is believed to prevent transcription of genes necessary for normal myeloid development and differentiation. Identifying its targets is critical to comprehend the road to pathogenesis. To understand how PML/RARα, in the absence of secondary lesions, alters gene expression, DNA methylation and proliferation we used a novel experimental and sorting strategy to study normal versus preleukemic promyelocytes in vivo. Expression and methylation profiling analyses were performed on highly purified samples. Surprisingly, despite its ability to initiate leukemia, PML/RARα had overall minor effects on both the transcriptome and epigenome. Important regulators of the myeloid maturation program were not altered but, remarkably, PML/RARα promyelocytes showed strong downregulation of secondary and tertiary granule genes. Subtle changes were also observed on the DNA methylation profile, with PML/RARα predominantly mediating hypomethylation. We performed intersection studies between altered loci and previously described PML/RARα binding sites but found little overlap. Importantly, we show for the first time that PML/RARα on its own increases proliferation, and that this increased proliferation correlates with the ability to initiate leukemia.
