Project description:Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is well known for its role in the heat shock response (HSR), where it drives a transcriptional program comprising heat shock protein (HSP) genes, and in tumorigenesis, where it drives a program comprising HSPs and many non-canonical target genes that support malignancy. Here, we find that HSF2, an HSF1 paralog with no significant role in the HSR, physically and functionally interacts with HSF1 across diverse types of cancer. HSF1 and HSF2 have strikingly similar chromatin occupancy and regulate a common set of genes which include both HSPs and non-canonical transcriptional targets with roles critical in supporting malignancy. Loss of either HSF1 or HSF2 results in a dysregulated response to nutrient stresses in vitro and reduced tumor progression in cancer cell line xenografts. Taken together, these findings establish HSF2 as a critical cofactor of HSF1 in driving a cancer cell transcriptional program to support the anabolic malignant state.

Project description:Heat-Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), master regulator of the heat-shock response, facilitates malignant transformation, cancer cell survival and proliferation in model systems. The common assumption is that these effects are mediated through regulation of heat-shock protein (HSP) expression. However, the transcriptional network that HSF1 coordinates directly in malignancy and its relationship to the heat-shock response have never been defined. By comparing cells with high and low malignant potential alongside their non-transformed counterparts, we identify an HSF1-regulated transcriptional program specific to highly malignant cells and distinct from heat shock. Cancer-specific genes in this program support oncogenic processes: cell-cycle regulation, signaling, metabolism, adhesion and translation. HSP genes are integral to this program, however, even these genes are uniquely regulated in malignancy. This HSF1 cancer program is active in breast, colon and lung tumors isolated directly from human patients and is strongly associated with metastasis and death. Thus, HSF1 rewires the transcriptome in tumorigenesis, with prognostic and therapeutic implications. ChIP-seq was used to characterize HSF1 binding

Project description:Prostate cancer (PrCa) is one of the most common malignancies in Western countries. However, the pathways that promote invasion, especially in late-stage castration-resistant PrCa (CRPC), are poorly understood. Heat shock factors (HSFs) are transcriptional regulators essential for cell survival upon proteotoxic stress, and HSF1 is also identified as a driver of oncogenesis. Here, our aim was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that contribute to CRPC and invasion. In silico analyses showed that high HSF1 expression levels correlate with poor survival and high Gleason score in PrCa. In the same data set, HSF2, which has not previously been linked to cancer, displayed decreased expression. Using 3-dimensional (3D) organotypic PrCa cultures that spontaneously undergo an invasive conversion, opposite effects of HSF1 and HSF2 were observed; tumor spheroids lacking HSF1 grew slowly, were polarized and devoid of invasive structures, and depletion of HSF2 potentiated invasiveness. In the in vivo xenograft chorioallantoic membrane model, HSF1 silencing caused tumor regression and fibrosis, and knockdown of HSF2 generated large invasive tumors, verifying the results from the 3D-cultures. Gene expression profiling revealed enrichment of genes connected to translational control when either HSF1 or HSF2 was silenced. HSF1-specific targets were associated with progression of tumorigenesis, whereas HSF2 targets were involved in focal adhesion, critical for invasion. This study provides the first evidence for HSF2 functioning in cancer, i.e. as a tumor suppressor. Moreover, human PrCa tissue microarrays demonstrated increased nuclear HSF1 expression, which significantly correlated with high-grade Gleason score. Cytoplasmic HSF1 was detected in a subset of tumors and intriguingly, correlated with decreased disease-specific survival. This was most pronounced in intermediate Gleason score 7 tumors and in metastases. We propose the use of HSF1 as a biomarker to predict PrCa outcome, thus facilitating clinical decision-making and supporting individualized treatment choices. HSF1 and HSF2 siRNA transfection was performed in triplicates (biological replicates), for 5 and 8 days prior to harvesting total RNA; and compared to PC-3 cells transfected with scrambled control siRNAs for 5 and 8 days, respectively.

Project description:Heat shock transcription factors HSF1 and HSF2 both are necessary for proper spermatogenesis, which is disrupted at elevated temperatures. We studied how HSF1 and HSF2 cooperate during the heat shock response in mouse spermatocytes. For this purpose we used ChIP-sequencing. ChIP-Seq analyses revealed that the temperature elevation induces remodeling of HSF1 and HSF2 binding to chromatin. The highest HSF1-chromatin binding was observed at 43°C, when HSF2-chromatin binding was reduced. Many promoters (mainly Hsp genes) were occupied by both heat shock factors at physiological temperature of testes and/or at 38°C. In contrary at 43°C only HSF1 was bound. Obtained results suggest that HSF1 and HSF2 could cooperate in regulation of the transcription of some genes only at physiological temperatures and/or at 38°C. Alteration in HSFs interactions and their binding to chromatin could be one of the reason of increased spermatogenic cell death observed after heat shock.

Three cancer cell lines (BPLER, HMLER & MCF7) were transduced with either control shRNAi (Scramble or GFP) or an shRNAi that targets and depletes HSF1 (hA6). Another BPLER sample was subjected to a 1H, 42M-KM-^Z C heat shock. Two biological replicates for all samples.

On Illumina platform we sequenced DNA immunoprecipitated from isolated spermatocytes using anti-HSF1 antibody or anti-HSF2 antibody. Cells were either untreated (control) or heat shocked for 5-20 minutes. Two PCR-verified ChIP replicates were collected per each sample, and three negative control samples with normal goat serum were included.
