Project description:Cellular senescence wreaks defects in the aging organism. In this study, we co-treated two chemicals: rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor (Y-27632) and ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibitor (KU-60019) to overcome senescence more efficaciously, these two chemicals are already revealed to have senomorphic effects, suppressing senescent phenotypes. We find out that cocktail treatment synergistically alleviates diverse senescent phenotypes in senescent human dermal fibroblast cells. Through transcriptomic approach, FOXM1 and E2F1 are identified as key transcription factor of synergism to normalize senescent cells, of which activities are attenuated by senescence both in vitro and in vivo, but revitalized by co-treatment. Activation of FOXM1 precedes activation of E2F1 and mediates transcription of numerous genes totally shut off by cellular senescence, including E2F1. After that, E2F1 participates in transcriptomic change. For that, Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDKs), where are the confluences of both ATM-Chk2-CDKs and ROCK-Akt-CDKs signaling axes, are direct regulators of these transcription factors. Surprisingly, canonical aging-related CDK inhibitors have nothing to do with the onset of senomorphism. As the order of activations of FOXM1 and E2F1 that are in charge of G2 and G1 phase transition respectively, chemical combination releases senescent cell arrest in order of G2 then G1. Altogether, our data provide new insight into the way of amelioration of aging via pivotal cell cycle transcription factors, FOXM1 and E2F1, which are synergistically stimulated by inhibiting senescence-associated kinases, ATM and ROCK.

Project description:Transient receptor potential channel melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is highly expressed in cancer and has an essential function in preserving viability through maintenance of mitochondrial function and antioxidant response. Here, the role of TRPM2 in cell survival was examined in neuroblastoma cells deleted of TRPM2 with CRISPR technology. Viability was significantly decreased in TRPM2 knockout after doxorubicin treatment. RNA sequence analysis and RT-qPCR revealed reduced RNAs encoding master transcription regulators FOXM1 and E2F1/2 and downstream cell cycle targets including Cyclin B1, CDK1, PLK1, and CKS1. CHIP analysis demonstrated decreased FOXM1 binding to their promoters. Western blotting confirmed decreased expression, and increased expression of CDK inhibitor p21, a CKS1 target. In cells with TRPM2 deletion, cell cycle progression to S and G2/M phases was reduced after treatment with doxorubicin. RNA sequencing also identified decreased DNA repair proteins in cells with TRPM2 deletion after doxorubicin treatment, and DNA damage was increased. Wild type TRPM2 but not Ca2+-impermeable mutant E960D, restored live cell number and reconstituted expression of E2F1, FOXM1, and cell cycle/DNA repair proteins. FOXM1 expression alone restored viability. TRPM2 is a potential therapeutic target to reduce tumor proliferation and increase doxorubicin sensitivity through modulation of FOXM1, E2F1, and cell cycle/DNA repair proteins.

Project description:Cellular senescence is accompanied by profound changes in telomere and heterochromatin structure that contribute to ageing. Telomere shortening is a key driver of replicative senescence that activate DNA damage response signaling ending on a p53-dependent downregulation of the shelterin subunit TRF2. Restoring the levels of TRF2 in pre-senescent cells leads to delay entry into senescent and restoration of constitutive heterochromatin structure and damage. Here we set to determine whether the restoration of TRF2 levels change the senescent program by doing RNA-sequencing of senescent cells transduced with a TRF2-expressing lentivirus or an empty lentivirus control.

Project description:E2F transcription factors are known regulators of the cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. We reveal an essential role for E2F1 in liver through the regulation of glycolysis and lipogenesis. E2F1 deficiency leads to a decreased in glycolysis and de novo synthesis of fatty acids in hepatocytes. ChIP-Seq was performed to determine direct tagets of E2F1 in hepatocytes. We highlight that E2F1 directly binds the promoters of genes implicated in metabolic process and notably key lipogenic genes to control these pathways.

Project description:Aims: Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) play a crucial role in cardiac remodelling, which is a common cause of heart failure (HF). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition remain largely unknown. Foxm1 is well known in various cardiopulmonary pathologies. However, Foxm1-driven CF activation in the progression of cardiac remodelling to HF remains to be investigated. Methods: Changes in Foxm1 expression were assessed in samples from patients with HF and mice with transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac remodelling. Pharmacologic antagonist FDI-6 was used to explore the effects of Foxm1 inhibition on post-TAC outcomes. Tcf21-Cre and PostnMCM were used to evaluate Foxm1 loss- and gain-of-function in CFs and myofibroblasts, respectively. Cardiac function and remodelling were examined by echocardiography and histological analysis. Foxm1 downstream target genes were identified by mass spectrometry (MS) and transcriptomic analysis. Post-translational regulation was evaluated by in vitro chromatin immunoprecipitation, co-immunoprecipitation, and ubiquitination assays. Pharmacological inhibition of Usp10 or knockout of p38γ in vivo verified the signalling pathway by which Foxm1 regulated cardiac remodelling. Results: Foxm1 was upregulated in human HF samples as well as in the mouse cardiac remodelling model. CFs were the primary cell type responsible for Foxm1 upregulation. Foxm1 pharmacological inhibition or genetic knockout in CFs or myofibroblasts significantly attenuated TAC-induced cardiac remodelling and HF. Conversely, conditional overexpression of Foxm1 in CFs or myofibroblasts resulted in more severe pathological cardiac remodelling and dysfunction. Combined RNA-sequencing and MS analysis revealed that Foxm1 promoted Usp10 expression by binding to its promoter. Usp10 interacted with p38γ, resulting in p38γ deubiquitination and thus influencing the downstream p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of Usp10 or genetic knockout of p38γ ameliorated the exacerbated TAC-induced cardiac remodelling in mice with myofibroblast-specific Foxm1 overexpression. Conclusion: Our findings reveal an essential role of Foxm1 in CF activation during cardiac remodelling. These results suggest that targeting the Foxm1/Usp10/p38γ MAPK axis may represent a new potential therapeutic strategy against pathological cardiac remodelling and HF.

Project description:FOXM1 is a key transcription factor regulating cell cycle progression, DNA damage response, and a host of other hallmark cancer features, but the role of the FOXM1 cistrome in driving estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) vs. ER- breast cancer clinical outcomes remains undefined. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) coupled with RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analyses was used to identify FOXM1 target genes in breast cancer cells (MCF-7) where FOXM1 expression was either induced by cell proliferation or repressed by p53 upregulation.

Project description:We identified the cell cycle-regulated mRNA transcripts genome-wide in the osteosarcoma derived U2OS cell line. This resulted in 2,140 transcripts mapping to 1,871 unique cell cycle-regulated genes that show periodic oscillations across multiple synchronous cell cycles. We identified genomic loci bound by the G2/M transcription factor FOXM1 by Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and associated these with cell cycle-regulated genes. FOXM1 was bound to cell cycle-regulated genes with peak expression in both S phase and G2/M phases. ChIP-seq genomic loci were shown to be responsive to FOXM1 using a real-time luciferase assay in live cells, showing that FOXM1 strongly activates promoters of G2/M phase genes and weakly activates those induced in S phase. Analysis of ChIP-seq data from a panel of cell cycle-transcription factors (E2F1, E2F4, E2F6, and GABPA) from ENCODE and ChIP-seq data for the DREAM complex, found that a set of core cell cycle genes regulated in both U2OS and HeLa cells are bound by multiple cell cycle transcription factors. These data identify the cell cycle regulated genes in a second cancer derived cell line and provide a comprehensive picture of the transcriptional regulatory systems controlling periodic gene expression in the human cell division cycle. Cell cycle-regulated gene expression identified from three double thymidine time courses and one thymidine nocodazole time course.
