Profiling of the transcriptional response to all-trans retinoic acid in breast cancer cells reveals RARE-independent mechanisms of gene expression.
Cell line
View SamplesRetinoids, derivatives of vitamin A, are key physiological molecules with regulatory effects on cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. As a result, they are of interest for cancer therapy. Specifically, models of breast cancer have varied responses to manipulations of the retinoid signaling cascade. This study characterizes the transcriptional response of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells to retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 1A3 (ALDH1A3) and to all-trans retinoic acid (atRA). We demonstrate limited overlap between ALDH1A3-induced gene expression and atRA-induced gene expression in both cell lines, suggesting that the function of ALDH1A3 in breast cancer progression extends beyond its role as a retinaldehyde dehydrogenase. Our data reveals divergent transcriptional responses to atRA, which are largely independent of genomic retinoic acid response elements (RAREs) and consistent with the opposing responses of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 to in vivo atRA treatment. We identify transcription factors associated with each gene set. Manipulation of one of the transcription factors (i.e. interferon regulatory factor 1; IRF1) demonstrates that it is the level of atRA-inducible and epigenetically regulated transcription factors that determine expression of target genes (e.g. CTSS, cathepsin S). This study provides a paradigm for complex, combinatorial responses of breast cancer models to atRA treatment, and illustrates the need to characterize RARE-independent responses to atRA in a variety of models.

View SamplesThe potential for dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) to improve reproductive efficiency in cattle has received much interest. The mechanisms by which n-3 PUFA may affect physiological and biochemical processes in key reproductive tissues are likely to be mediated by significant alterations in gene expression.

View SamplesWe report the results of overexpression of the wildtype and mutant ANT1 (SLC25A4) gene in human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells from the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. Libraries were prepared from three independent replicates per condition using stranded RNA sequencing and run at 2 x 75 read length at a targeted output of 60 million paired-end reads per sample. We found only a limited number of nuclear genes whose expression is altered by wildtype ANT1-overexpression. Among the most upregulated genes is the zinc-finger proteins Egr1, a transcriptional factor with diverse cellular functions, including the repression of genes encoding mitochondrial inner membrane protein. The upregulation of EGR1 likely serves as a retrograde mechanism to reduce protein loading on the IMM and to alleviate mPOS. Overexpression of the triple and quadruple mutant alleles altered the expression of 206 and 560 genes, respectively, with 32 commonly up-regulated in both. These include EGR1, ZCCHC12 and SFPQ, which were also upregulated in cells overexpressing the wild-type ANT1. The 32 up-regulated genes are involved in functions including RNA-processing, autophagy/intracellular structure/trafficking, transcriptional control, ribosomal biogenesis/translational control, chaperones/proteasomal function and mitochondrial biogenesis. Upstream regulator analysis subsequently revealed 42 pathways predicted to be either activated or inhibited by these genes, including PPARGC1A, ATF4, Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR), Myc, EGFR and HMGA1.

View SamplesMurine GVH-SSc dorsal scapular skin samples were analyzed to determine the effect of IFNAR-1 inhibition on gene expression at day 14 and day 28. Gene expression in GVH-SSc skin from mice treated with a neutralizing IFNAR-1 antibody was compared to that in GVH-SSc skin from mice treated with isotype IgG, with skin from syngeneic graft controls as reference.

View SamplesWe observed robust overexpression of type I interferon (IFN)inducible genes and genomic signatures that indicate T cell and dendritic cell infiltration in lesional skin. Up-regulation of mRNAs for IFN-a subtypes was observed in lesional skin compared with nonlesional skin. Enrichment of mature dendritic cells and 2 type I IFNinducible proteins, STAT1 and ISG15, were observed in the majority of lesional skin biopsies. Concordant overexpression of IFN-c and TNF-ainducible gene signatures occurred at the same disease sites.
