Project description:NR5A1 is expressed in the pituitary gonadotropes and regulates their functional differentiation. We have previously identified a pituitary-specific enhancer region located in the 6th intron of the Nr5a1 gene. In this study, deletion of the pituitary enhancer by genome editing abolished the expression of NR5A1 in the pituitary gland, confirming the functional importance of the enhancer. Transcriptomic changes in the enhancer-deleted mouse pituitary were revealed in both males and females.

Project description:The pituitary gland regulates growth, metabolism, reproduction, the stress response, uterine contractions, lactation, and water retention. It secretes polypeptide hormones in response to hypothalamic input, end organ feedback, and diurnal cues. The mechanisms by which pituitary stem cells are recruited to proliferate, maintain quiescence or differentiate into specific cell types, especially thyrotropes, are not well understood. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing in juvenile P7 mouse pituitary cells to identify transcription factors in pituitary stem and endocrine populations, with a focus on thyrotrope subpopulations. We first identified common gene regulatory networks activated in proliferating stem and proliferating endocrine cells. We ascertained Shox2 and Sox14 as candidate regulators of pars distalis and pars tuberalis thyrotropes, respectively, and subsequently found reduced hormone expression in Sox14-knockout pars tuberalis thyrotropes. We further discovered dual-identity cells expressing both POU1F1 and NR5A1 and demonstrated that approximately one-third of pars distalis thyrotropes are descended from NR5A1-expressing cells, typically considered gonadotrope progenitors. We have therefore used single-cell transcriptomics to identify novel developmental mechanisms regulating the specification and hormone expression in thyrotrope subpopulations.

Project description:Nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 1 (NR5A1) encodes steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1), a key regulatory factor that determines gonadal development and coordinates endocrine functions. Here, we have established a stem cell-based model of human gonadal development and applied it to evaluate the effects of NR5A1 during the transition from bipotential gonad to testicular cells. We combined directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (46,XY) with activation of endogenous NR5A1 expression by conditionally-inducible CRISPR activation. The resulting male gonadal-like cells expressed several Sertoli cell transcripts, secreted anti-Müllerian hormone and responded to follicle-stimulating hormone by producing sex steroid intermediates. These characteristics were not induced without NR5A1 activation. A total of 2691 differentially expressed genetic elements, including both coding and non-coding RNAs, were detected immediately following activation of NR5A1 expression. Of those, we identified novel gonad-related putative NR5A1 targets, such as SCARA5, which we validated also by immunocytochemistry. In addition, NR5A1 activation was associated with dynamic expression of multiple gonad- and infertility-related differentially expressed genes. In conclusion, by combining targeted differentiation and endogenous activation of NR5A1 we have for the first time, been able to examine in detail the effects of NR5A1 in early human gonadal cells. The model and results obtained provide a useful resource for future investigations exploring the causative reasons for gonadal dysgenesis and infertility in humans.

Project description:Despite the intensive search for an effective drug to ameliorate excess steroid production, there are few pharmacological options, especially for diseases as steroid-producing adrenocortical cancers. While splice-modifying-compounds have pleiotropic effects including anticancer properties, none have been tested on abnormal steroidogenesis. Using H295R adrenocortical carcinoma cells, CX-4945 induced multiple exon skipping of the NR5A1 gene, the master regulator of steroidogenesis. The resulting exon-skipped NR5A1 proteins were non-functional when added-back to NR5A1 knocked down H295R cells. This eventually suppressed steroidogenesis and induced dysfunctional autophagy with progression to ER-stress-related apoptosis. Intriguingly, a circular RNA of NR5A1 exons (circNR5A1 ex2-4 RNA) not originating from the skipped exons, was induced. Transient expression of this circNR5A1 ex2-4 RNA induced the same multiple exon-skipped isoforms of the NR5A1 gene. This potential pharmacological control of NR5A1 aberrant multiple exon-skipping and interplay with its circNR5A1 RNA gives us a novel target for treating abnormal steroidogenesis in adrenocortical carcinomas.

Project description:Deployment of a cell-specifying enhancer repertoire by the pioneer factor Pax7 The establishment and maintenance of cell identity depends on implementation of stable cell-specific chromatin landscapes. Pioneer transcription factors establish new cell fate competences by triggering chromatin remodeling during development. Here, we used pituitary cell specification to define the salient features of pioneer action. Comparison of purified pituitary cells of different lineages showed that chromatin accessibility differs at enhancers rather than promoters. The pioneer factor Pax7 specifies one pituitary lineage identity by opening a specific repertoire of enhancers that are distinct from the myogenic targets of Pax7. Pax7 binds its pioneer targets rapidly and days before chromatin remodeling and gene activation. Finally, enhancers opened by Pax7-dependent chromatin remodeling exhibit loss of DNA methylation and they acquire long term epigenetic memory. The present work identifies enhancer pioneering as a critical feature for cell fate specification and maintenance.
