Project description:The dysregulation of transcription factors is widely associated with tumourigenesis. As the most well-defined transcription factor in multiple types of cancer, c-Myc can transform cells by transactivating various downstream genes. Given that there is no effective way to directly inhibit c-Myc, c-Myc targeting strategies hold great potential for cancer therapy. In this study, we found that WSB1, which has a highly positive correlation with c-Myc in 10 cancer cell lines and clinical samples, is a direct target gene of c-Myc, and can positively regulate c-Myc expression, which forms a feedforward circuit promoting cancer development. RNA sequencing results from Bel-7402 cells confirmed that WSB1 promoted c-Myc expression through the β-Catenin pathway. Mechanistically, WSB1 affected β-Catenin destruction complex-PPP2CA assembly and E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor β-TRCP recruitment, which inhibited the ubiquitination of β-Catenin and transactivated c-Myc. Of interest, the effect of WSB1 on c-Myc was independent of its E3 ligase activity. Moreover, overexpressing WSB1 in the Bel-7402 xenograft model could further strengthen the tumour-driven effect of c-Myc overexpression. Thus, our findings revealed a novel mechanism involved in tumourigenesis in which the WSB1/c-Myc feedforward circuit played an essential role, highlighting a potential c-Myc intervention strategy in cancer treatment.

Project description:The Wnt/ß-catenin pathway is orchestrating the development of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), but its downstream mediators have remained elusive. To identify potential effectors, we generated an endothelial cell specific Axin1 over-expressing mouse model, AOEiEC. We found that in AOEiE mice Wnt/ß-catenin signalling was down regulated leading to premature regression and remodelling without directly compromising BBB integrity. Interestingly, by comparing transcriptomes of endothelial cells from control and AOEiEC mice, we identified Adamtsl2 as a novel Wnt/ß-catenin-induced, secreted factor, important for stabilizing the cerebral vasculature during development. Importantly, loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments revealed that Adamtsl2 alone was sufficient to rescue CNS vascular defects seen upon Wnt-signalling inhibition. Furthermore, using various cell and animal models we demonstrate that Adamtsl2 exerts its function by fine-tuning the TGFβ signalling pathway in CNS vessels. In conclusion, this study implicates Adamtsl2 as a mediator of Wnt/ß-catenin signalling during BBB development by linking it to TGFβ signalling.

Project description:The contribution of deubiquitylating enzymes to b-Catenin stabilisation in intestinal stem cells and colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood. Here, we report the deubiquitylase USP10 as APC-truncation- specific regulator enhancer of b-Catenin stability, potentiating WNT signalling pathway in CRC and cancer stem cells. Mechanistically, interaction studies in various CRC cell lines and in vitro binding studies, together with computational modelling, revealed that USP10 binding to b-Catenin is mediated via its USP10 unstructured N-terminus and requires truncated in the absence of full-length APC. Notably, loss of USP10 in CRISPR engineered intestinal organoids reduces tumorigenic properties of CRC cells and organoids, and blocks the super competitor-properties of APC-mutated intestinal cells, elicits induces the expression of differentiation genes, and opposes the APC-truncated phenotype in an intestinal hyperplasia model of D.melanogaster. Taken together, our findings reveal USP10s role in intestinal tumourigenesis by stabilising b-Catenin, leading to aberrant WNT signalling, enhancing cancer cell stemness and implicate the DUB USP10 as a cancer specific therapeutic vulnerability in Apc truncated CRC.

Project description:Bacteria selectively consume some carbon sources over others through a regulatory mechanism termed catabolite repression. Here, we show that the base pairing RNA Spot 42 plays a broad role in catabolite repression in Escherichia coli by directly repressing genes involved in central and secondary metabolism, redox balancing, and the consumption of diverse non-preferred carbon sources. Many of the genes repressed by Spot 42 are transcriptionally activated by the global regulator CRP. Since CRP represses Spot 42, these regulators participate in a specific regulatory circuit called a multi-output feedforward loop. We found that this loop can reduce leaky expression of target genes in the presence of glucose and can maintain repression of target genes under changing nutrient conditions. Our results suggest that base pairing RNAs in feedforward loops can help shape the steady-state levels and dynamics of gene expression. MG1655 lacIq cells harboring the control vector pBRplac or the Spot 42-inducible vector pSpot42 were grown in LB to an ABS600 of ~0.4 and treated with 1 mM IPTG. After 7 min, total RNA was isolated using the hot phenol extraction procedure.

Project description:Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling is an essential regulator of various cellular functions throughout development and adulthood. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signalling also contributes to various pathologies including cancer, necessitating an understanding of cell context dependent mechanisms regulating this pathway. Since protein-protein interactions underpin β-catenin function and localization, we sought to identify novel β-catenin interacting partners by affinity purification coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), where β-catenin is involved in both physiological and pathological control of cell proliferation. Here, we report novel components of the VSMC β-catenin interactome.

Project description:The forkhead box transcription factor FOXQ1 is aberrantly induced in various cancers, and contributes to tumour growth and metastasis. It has been suggested that the oncogenic potential of FOXQ1 may be explained by its activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.However, the mode of action of FOXQ1 in the Wnt pathway remains to be resolved. Here we report that FOXQ1 is bimodal transcriptional activator of Wnt target gene expression in normal and cancer cells. Using co-immunoprecipitation, proximity proteomics, and reporter assays, we show that FOXQ1 engages the Wnt transcriptional complex to promote gene expressionvia TCF/LEF transcription factors.

Project description:Although evidence indicates that the adult brain retains a considerable capacity for circuit formation, adult wiring has not been broadly considered and remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated wiring activation in adult neurons. Based on bioinformatic analyses on a previously published dataset (GSE161619), we identified the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Ascl4 as a potential regulator of adult wiring and show that the AAV-mediated overexpression of Ascl4 can cell autonomously induce wiring in different types of hippocampal neurons of adult mice. The new axons are mainly feedforward and reconfigure synaptic weights in the hippocampal circuit. Mice with rewired circuits do not display signs of pathology and solve spatial problems equally well as controls. Our results demonstrate reprogrammed connectivity by a single transcriptional factor and provide insights into the regulation of brain connectivity in adults.
