Project description:Purpose: Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC)-derived insulin-producing beta cells offer a promising cell-based therapy for diabetes. However, efficient hESC to beta cell differentiation has proven difficult, possibly due to the lack of cross-talk with the appropriate mesenchymal niche. To define organ-specific niche signals, we isolated pancreatic and gastrointestinal stromal cells and analyzed their transcriptomes during development. Methods: mRNA profiles from E13.5 mice were generated from mesenchymal cells dissected from wild-type (WT) intestine, stomach, pancreas and mutant Sufu-/- Spop -/- pancreatic mesenchyme, in duplicate, by illumina HiSeq 2500. Reads were aligned to the mm10 assembly and unambiguously mapping reads were analyzed at the gene level for differential expression between tissue types alignment using STAR and differential analysis using DESeq2. Results: Using our workflow, we mapped about 30 million reads per sample to mm10. Differential expression (DE) analysis identified over 900 significantly differentially expressed genes between WT pancreatic mesenchyme and gastrointestinal mesenchymes, and over 1100 genes differentially expressed between WT and mutant pancreatic mesenchyme. Our findings reveal the importance of tightly-regulated Hh signaling in the pancreatic mesenchyme. In vivo inactivation of mesenchymal Hh signaling leads to annular pancreas, and stroma-specific activation of Hh signaling via loss of Hh regulators, Sufu and Spop, impairs pancreatic growth and beta cell genesis. Genetic rescue and transcriptome analyses show that these Sufu and Spop knockout defects occur through GLI2-mediated activation of gastrointestinal stromal signals such as Wnt ligands. Importantly, inhibition of Wnt signaling in organoid and hESC cultures significantly promotes insulin-producing cell generation, revealing the requirement for organ-specific regulation of stromal niche signals.

Project description:Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions play a critical role in organ development, stem cells and disease. During intestinal development, pseudostratified epithelia undergo dramatic morphogenesis called villification, to form finger-like projections, in which mesenchymal cell clustering and muscle layers play a key role. In the adult, the gut mesenchyme is proposed as a key intestinal stem cell niche providing essential niche signals such as Wnt ligands, while the TGF beta signaling mediated gut stromal program is critical for cancer progression. However, how these signals are produced is currently unknown. In the gut, Hedgehog (Hh) signaling acts strictly in a paracrine manner: Hh ligands are expressed in the epithelium and activate signaling exclusively in the mesenchyme. Notably, Hh signaling is not only essential for mesenchymal clustering and muscle differentiation, it is also involved in intestinal tumorigenesis. To investigate Hh mediated mechanisms, we analyzed mice deleted for key Hh negative regulators, Sufu and/or Spop in the gut mesenchyme, and demonstrated their dosage dependent role in the negative regulation of Hh signaling. Although these mutants exhibit abnormal mesenchymal cell growth and functionally defective muscle layers, villification is completed with proper mesenchymal clustering, implying a permissive role for Hh signaling. These mesenchymal defects are partially rescued by Gli2 reduction, demonstrating the significance of its transcriptional regulation. Surprisingly, in contrast to its known inhibitory role in epithelial proliferation, abnormal Hh activation in the gut mesenchyme leads to increased epithelial proliferation. Corroborating this data, Sufu reduction is sufficient to promote intestinal tumorigenesis, while Gli2 heterozygosity suppresses it. To define GLI2-mediated downstream mechanisms, we mapped its binding sites and analyzed gene expression genome-wide, identifying one of the most robust Hh direct targetome data sets ever reported. This work reveals the GLI2 transcriptional regulation of Wnt and TGF beta pathways in stem cell proliferation and muscle differentiation, providing mechanistic insight into the intestinal stem cell niche in development and tumorigenesis.

Project description:Aberrant sonic hedeghog signaling is implicated in the development of various cancer entities such as medulloblastoma. The canonical signaling cascade has been studied for years. Activation of GLI transcription factors was revealed as the driving force upon pathway activation. Phosphorylation by Proteinkinase A, Casein Kinase 1 and Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 β has been found to influence the degradation of the GLI transcription factors. However, the deeper role of phosphorylation in the signal transduction remains unclear. We, therefore, applied comprehensive HPLC-MS/MS based phosphoproteomics to reveal phosphorylation dynamics underlying the chemical activation and inhibition of sonic hedgehog signaling in human medulloblastoma cells. Human medulloblastoma cells were treated with SAG (Hh pathway induction) and Vismodegib (Hh pathway inhibition) for 5 and 15 minutes. Our phosphoproteomic profiling revealed a central role of phosphorylation in the regulation of ciliary assembly, trafficking and signal transduction after 5 minutes treatment. ERK/MAPK signaling besides protein kinase A signaling and mTOR signaling were differentially regulated. Activation of Polo-like kinase 1 and inhibtion of Caseinkinase 2A1 was characteristic for Vismodegib treatment while SAG treatment induced Aurora kinase A activity. Distinctive phosphorylation of central players of sonic Hh signaling such as Smoothened, SUFU, Gli2 and Gli3 was obtained after 15 minutes treatment.

Project description:SPOP is a ubiquitin ligase adaptor frequently mutated in prostate cancer. It is involved in ubiquitination and degradation of substrate proteins. We examined the impact of wild-type and mutant SPOP on the transcriptional profile of prostate cancer cells. We cloned several naturally occurring (in human prostate cancer) SPOP mutants and expressed the corresponding constructs in prostate cancer cells. Our experimental conditions were: Human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP-Abl), transfected with control vector, SPOP-wt, and any of the following mutants: SPOP-F102C, SPOP-F133V, SPOP-F133L (2-4 biological replicates each). We analyzed their gene expression profiles for differences induced by SPOP-wt vs SPOP-mutant.
